1
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: You can now unlock your iPhone with your Apple Watch,

2
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: dangerous smart doorbells, freezing your webcam on purpose? Plus your

3
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: tech questions answered? What's going on on rich Demiro? And

4
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: this is Rich on Tech, the podcast where I talk

5
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: about the tech stuff I think you should know about,

6
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: and it is the place right answer the questions that

7
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: you send me. So who am I? The tech reporter

8
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. That is where

9
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: I present stories on a wide variety of consumer tech

10
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: topics on a daily basis. I also post stuff to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.

11
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: I'm having a lot of fun there lately because, oh,

12
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: let me just tell a quick story. I had no

13
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: idea this book was so impactful. Story. My kid and

14
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: I are in Target and this has nothing to do

15
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 1: with tech, but we're in Target and my kid sees

16
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: a book that he wants to get two of them.

17
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: One was like a dinosaur book. The other one was

18
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: this book called Love You Forever. And so I get

19
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: him the books and my wife I didn't have a

20
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: chance to read it to him first. My wife read

21
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: it to him the next night or so, and he

22
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: comes into my office the next morning and he just

23
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: puts the book on my desk. He goes, Dad, can

24
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: you please return this? I said, what why? I just

25
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: I don't want it. I didn't know it was so sad.

26
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, okay, So I take the book and

27
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: I you know, at dinner that night, I'm talking to

28
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: my wife about the book, and I'm like, what's the deal.

29
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: She's like, oh, just go ahead, try to read it

30
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: to him. So I started reading this book called Love

31
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: You Forever. And let's just say it is nearly impossible

32
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: to get through this book without needing at least a

33
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: box of tissues. And I don't know what it is.

34
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: If it's the words, if it's the way it's written,

35
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: if it's the combination of the pictures. But I was like,

36
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 1: I was, Oh my gosh, it was really really interesting.

37
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: And so I said, wow, if this happened to me,

38
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: I wonder if someone else out there has ever heard

39
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: of this book or had this happen. And I posted

40
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: my Facebook and sure enough, the comments just come flooding in.

41
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: And clearly I was very late to the train with

42
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: with the Love You Forever book. Because it's been around forever.

43
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: People know it, people know it to be a tear

44
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: jerker and just the way it is. So anyway, if

45
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: you really want to challenge yourself, I think there needs

46
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: to be a TikTok challenge with this book because you

47
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: can't make it through the end without If your eyes

48
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: are dry by the end, there might be something wrong

49
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: with you. I'm just saying. So, I think there should

50
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: be a TikTok challenge once these kids discover this book,

51
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 1: because well they wouldn't be it probably wouldn't affect them,

52
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: but they should give it to their parents. The TikTok

53
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: challenge should be they give this book to their pay parents,

54
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: record them reading it and see how far they get

55
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: before Niagara falls. Anyway, I hope you're having a fantastic day.

56
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: I hope you're having a great week and everything's good

57
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: over here. Just really excited about where the future lies

58
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: with this whole pandemic, you know, getting through it. It

59
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: feels like there's a little light at the end of

60
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: the tunnel at this point. I mean, people I know

61
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: that are close to me have gotten the vaccine and

62
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: that is very exciting. And I just the numbers where

63
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: I live in Los Angeles have been dropping, so that's good. Restaurants,

64
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: I got a haircut the other day. Can't believe that

65
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: little ding for the haircut. And anyway, so it's good.

66
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: I'm feeling good and I have a lot of hope

67
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: for things getting better. Speaking of the pandemic Apple with

68
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: the iPhone, they're now letting you use your Apple Watch

69
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: as a way to unlock your iPhone. This is a

70
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: new feature coming to iOS fourteen point five, which'll be

71
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: the next version of the mobile operating system. They did

72
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: come out with a beta for developers and a public beta,

73
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: but I don't really recommend that you download the public

74
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: beta unless I don't know. I always find that they're exciting,

75
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: but you know, then you kind of regret it at

76
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: the end of the day because now your phone is

77
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: not on the standard track, and it's you know, unless

78
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: you're a real real techi that it's just it's kind

79
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: of a headache sometimes because there's a little bug that

80
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: affects something that you want to do, it's going to

81
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: be a problem. And so that's for that reason I

82
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: just kind of stay away. I used to do the

83
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: public betas, but I don't really do it anymore. If

84
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: you have a test device, fine, but this new feature

85
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: will allow you to put on a in Settings on

86
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: the Apple Watch or Settings on the iPhone, rather under

87
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: face ID and passcode, you can opt into iPhone unlock

88
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: with Apple Watch, and so the iPhone will recognize when

89
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: you are wearing a mask and you try to unlock

90
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: your iPhone, and it will default to checking to see

91
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: if the Apple Watch is on your wrist. If it's

92
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: on your wrist and it's unlocked, and you haven't removed

93
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,559
Speaker 1: it from your wrist, and you know, I'm sure Apple

94
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: has some little secret security baked into this whole process,

95
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: it will then go ahead and unlock your phone. You'll

96
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: feel a haptic feedback on your watch or on your wrist,

97
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: so that you know that your watch has unlocked your phone.

98
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: I think this is fantastic. It's not a new idea.

99
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: I mean, Android has had this forever. It's smart unlock.

100
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: I mean they've had this forever, forever, forever. But the

101
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: difference here is you know they're using I guess they're

102
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: using Bluetooth to do it. The other thing is that

103
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: this feature already works with the Mac, which I'm not

104
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: even sure it ever works right with me. I sometimes

105
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: it works, sometimes it doesn't. I don't know. I don't

106
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: even notice. But I had the idea for this last

107
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: month in January, and I tweeted out, I said, you know, Apple,

108
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: and I said exactly this, and so for that reason,

109
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: thank you for listening. Apple. You did what I said.

110
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: And although I'm not going to be downloading it anytime

111
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: soon until the real software comes out, I should say

112
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: the final software comes out, that is exciting because it

113
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: is a pain to type in your password so many times.

114
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: And I noticed this mostly at the grocery store when

115
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: I've got some sort of list on my phone of

116
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: what i want to buy, and I'm constantly unlocking my

117
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: iPhone like with the passcode, and it's kind of a lot.

118
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: The other thing is that let's see here, so Apple

119
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 1: Pay does not work using this method, so you can't

120
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: be at the checkout and just you know, do Apple

121
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: Pay from your phone. But if you have Apple Pay

122
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: set up on your watch, then you can do it

123
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: that way anyway. So there you have it easier to

124
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: wear a mask and use your iPhone. All right, let's

125
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: get to our first question. Let's see here. Oh, well,

126
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: it's not on here. Let me get it here. I

127
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: had to restart my computer because it actually was like

128
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: frozen or something. I don't know what happened. That was

129
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: where I've got all these extensions inslved right now, which

130
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: I think are messing up everything because I'm testing them

131
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: for like these shopping add ons. So I'm doing a

132
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: segment for KTLA or planning a segment about that. So

133
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: I've been testing all these shopping add ons from like,

134
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: you know what is this retail me not or at Tucin.

135
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: I don't know all these other ones anyway. All right,

136
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: Pete says Rich, could you please tell us about this

137
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: new security app total av for iPhones for three dollars

138
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: seems too good to be true. Check on this for

139
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: your followers please. I have an iPhone twelve. Pete. I've

140
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: said this once before and I will say it again.

141
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: Here's my thoughts about total av. You do not need

142
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: this for your iPhone. You do not need it for

143
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: your iPhone. Let me say it one more time. You

144
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: do not need this for your iPhone. Nothing against Total AV.

145
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure they make great products, but the fact is,

146
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: there just is not a need for antivirus software on

147
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: an iPhone. Now. The reason I say this is because

148
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: the iPhone's operating system architecture is totally different than something

149
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: like a Windows computer, And even the Mac computer is

150
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: so locked down now that I would actually be surprised.

151
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's more ways into a Mac, but your iPhone,

152
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: there's really only two ways to kind of exploit this

153
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: if you have everything running as the standard kind of

154
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: set up, like if you're not if you're not jail broken,

155
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: you don't have like third party apps that you've sideloaded somehow.

156
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: But really, realistically, the two ways someone could you know,

157
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: hack into your phone is through your messages and I

158
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: Message and then through Safari, and I Message has been

159
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: really really locked down in iOS fourteen, so that's even

160
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: more secure. And then in Safari they do find some

161
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: exploits every once in a while, but again it's not

162
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: something generally that could like take over your whole phone

163
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: unless it's a major, major exploit. So for the average

164
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: person that's just sitting there thinking that they might get

165
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: a virus on their phone, on their iPhone specifically, it

166
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: just doesn't really happen. And so I think when it

167
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: comes comes to the iPhone and this total av I

168
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: just don't think you need it. I think it's a

169
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: lot to do for something that is just it. You're

170
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: paying for something that just doesn't really do much on

171
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: an iPhone because the architecture of the iPhone is that

172
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: a program can't sit there and like constantly scan everything

173
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: that's happening on it because everything is so locked down.

174
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: Let me see how much? What are the features that

175
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: they say, okay, Total av iOS and iPhone app helps

176
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: you keep you safe from online criminals through VPN and

177
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: website filtering, as well as anti fraud and theft services

178
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: such as data breach alerts and Locate Device Location tracker. Well,

179
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: device location is already it's already built into the iPhone

180
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: with find my iPhone, data breach check, webshield, device locator system, security,

181
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 1: secure search browser. I don't want to use this random

182
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: third party browser. Photo manager, Battery monitor, I mean it

183
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,119
Speaker 1: tells you how much battery I've left on the iPhone,

184
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: Private connection VPN okay, Total av Free, I mean, so

185
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: I just again, I think the main thing here is

186
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: to get you to do that in app purchase for

187
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff that you may not necessarily need

188
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: on your phone. How much are they charging for this

189
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: in app purchase? Fifty three ninety nine for the year.

190
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: So what they do is they get you to get

191
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: the the app, perhaps for free or for three dollars

192
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: like you said, and then next thing you know, they're

193
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: hitting you up for fifty three dollars. So I would say, Pete,

194
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: just skip it. That's my advice until I'm proven wrong.

195
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna do a segment where I talk to

196
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: an iPhone security expert and I'm gonna challenge it. I'm

197
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: gonna say, like, do people need this stuff? I don't

198
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: think they do. That's been my advice for many years now.

199
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: And I'm talking specifically on the iPhone Android, a little

200
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: questionable Mac computers, a little questionable Windows computers. Most of

201
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: the time, I just recommend that you use the built

202
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 1: in defender program, but specifically iPhones. Like I said, if

203
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: you are not sideloading stuff, I just don't think you

204
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: need this stuff. So good question, Thanks for asking it,

205
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: and hopefully I'll have a segment soon where I get

206
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: answers from an iPhone security expert. Well, you probably heard

207
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: the news this week that Jeff Bezos is stepping down

208
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: from role of CEO at Amazon. He has done some

209
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: amazing things at this company, and this is a company

210
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: that if you could remember, several years ago, people actually

211
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: wondered if Amazon would ever make money. How wild is that?

212
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: And now we've gone from that to an Amazon that

213
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: can deliver almost anything you can imagine to your front

214
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: door in two hours to one day. I mean, we

215
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: have the super speedy delivery because we live in Los Angeles,

216
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 1: and it's just unbelievable how fast things can get to

217
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: your house from Amazon when you live in an area

218
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: that they fully service, where they are fully up and running,

219
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: an area that's still you know, more suburban when they

220
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: get it, when they get into things like you know,

221
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: the little delivery robots and the delivery drones and people

222
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: on bikes. I mean, it's just it's unlimited what this

223
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: company can do right now, there's a lot of momentum

224
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: behind them. It is. If you have an Amazon Prime membership,

225
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: basically that's your shopping search engine. You don't even care

226
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: to look anywhere else. And I found myself trying to

227
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: look for things in other places. You know, if I'm

228
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: buying a TV, or if I'm buying anything, but if

229
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: it's something that's pretty simple and I know that it's

230
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: going to be on Amazon, that's pretty much where I go,

231
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: and I remember when Amazon Prime first came out, it

232
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: was I think it was fifty nine bucks, maybe it

233
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: was even less. But now it's up to I think

234
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: one point thirty nine or something like that. But it's

235
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 1: well worth it. People over last they said one hundred

236
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: million people pay for that. Just that alone is amazing.

237
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: In his letter to employees, Jeff says, the journey began

238
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: twenty seven years ago. Amazon was just an idea. It

239
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: had no name. Now they employ one point three million people.

240
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: Invention is the root of our success. We pioneered customer reviews,

241
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: one click personalized recommendations, which I still don't think they're

242
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: there just yet. I still think there is a huge

243
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: opportunity on Amazon to upsell folks with more recommendations based

244
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: on what they are, what they've purchased in the past,

245
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: and things like that. I don't see a lot of that.

246
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: When I shop on Amazon, I basically buy the stuff

247
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: that I come in for and that's it. Prime shipping,

248
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: walk out shopping, Climate, Pledge, Kindle, Alexa, Marketplace, I mean

249
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: so many things not to mention Aws. Now they have

250
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: a new person stepping in to become CEO. Andy Jasse

251
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: and you know, Jeff Bezos is still going to be

252
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: on the executive board or let's see what's he going

253
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: to yeah, chief of the Amazon chriff of the Amazon board.

254
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: He said. The thing is, you know, being CEO of

255
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: Amazon is a very big responsibility. It consumes you twenty

256
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: four and he wants to spend his time on other

257
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: things like you know, his fund, Blue Origin, all the

258
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: space stuff, the Washington Post and some other things he

259
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: has going on. But he thinks Amazon's going to continue

260
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: to figure out new and exciting ways of doing things.

261
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: And it's always scary when the figurehead leaves a company

262
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: like this. I mean, yes, he'll still be involved. But

263
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: you know how much of this came from him? I

264
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: don't know. At the beginning, sure a lot of it.

265
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: But as it goes on, did it come from him

266
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: or does it come from committees and ideas? Who knows?

267
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: I guess time will tell. But my favorite is the

268
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: last lines of his letter. He said, keep inventing. Don't

269
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: despair when at first the idea looks crazy, Remember to wander,

270
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: let curiosity be your compass. It remains day one and

271
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: I shared a note about this on my social media.

272
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: It remains. Day one is just so powerful. Imagine I've

273
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: been doing my job at KTLA for ten years now,

274
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: and if I think of the next couple of years

275
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: as today is day one, imagine what that does for

276
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: your thinking. You have a fresh outlook on things. This

277
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: podcast is the first podcast, and how would you do

278
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: it differently if you were just coming into this versus

279
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: doing it for two hundred episodes? So I thought that

280
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: was really powerful and it really resonated. And one of

281
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: these days I'm going to print out all these little

282
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: things that I clipped from Instagram, all these little inspirational quotes.

283
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: I want to put them in my office because they're

284
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: only inspirational if you look at them and you reference

285
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: them right. Otherwise you kind of forget about them. But

286
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: it really does do a lot. I love the inspirational stuff,

287
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: even if I find inspiration of things. I don't necessarily

288
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,239
Speaker 1: seek out inspirational quotes, but I do find things inspiring

289
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: and those are the best kind for me, all right.

290
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: Thomas writes in Hey, Rich, I love your show. Thank

291
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: you for providing such great information. I want to select

292
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: and print one hundred family images for each year starting

293
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: in twenty ten. I am worried that they will eventually

294
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: be lost in the cloud if I print them and

295
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: put them in albums. Should I buy a printer and

296
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: print them myself or should I use the service like

297
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: Shutterfly Nation's photo lab at Arama. The factors I want

298
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: to consider are quality, durability, cost, time, investment, ease of use,

299
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: and thank you so much for your guidance, best Thomas

300
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: Wow durability fifty years. I think that you should. I

301
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: don't think I would go the printer route. If you're gonna, well,

302
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna print hundred images each year, you don't say that,

303
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: you don't really say what size these pictures are gonna be.

304
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: I would think that you should probably just go with

305
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: a printing lab because since you are doing so many pictures,

306
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: I think it's probably easiest to just do that. So

307
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: at Arama I have gotten pictures printed from because they

308
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: did a unique size that I needed and I was

309
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: very impressed because they are a photo company, a camera company,

310
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: and so I thought they did a really great job.

311
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: I forget what I ordered from there, so you know,

312
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: I would definitely I would go with one of these systems,

313
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: you know, like the adder. Where is the Adorama Prints.

314
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: Let's see, there we go photo printing. So uh oh

315
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 1: they oh wow, well maybe they use Okay, they call

316
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 1: it printiq p R I n T I q U E,

317
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: And so I think I'd go with something I would test.

318
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: Here's what I would do personally, I would try about

319
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: three of these services myself and see which one I'm

320
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,719
Speaker 1: most impressed with. So pick the same picture and upload

321
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: it to you know, this, uh printique. I would upload

322
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: it to like a Shutterfly and Nation's photo Lab I'm

323
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: not as familiar with, but I would upload it to that.

324
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: Now here's the other thing you can do, And this

325
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 1: is a great search just to know in general. But

326
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: if you type in Shutterfly into the search engine, you

327
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: type and Shutterfly versus, and this will give you a

328
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: whole list of similar printing places. I guess. So upcome Snapfish, MPIs,

329
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: mixed book, Nations, photo Lab, chat books. Now some of

330
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: these are actually oh, Amazon Photos, let's not forget about

331
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: that one. So some of these are more for photo books.

332
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: But I'm not sure if you're you say you're gonna

333
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: put them an album, So I'm guessing you just want

334
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: the pictures. So that's what I would do so, I

335
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: would look up Nations Photo Lab versus and that should

336
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: bring up more of the professional ones, which is MPIs

337
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: or Shutterfly. And we all know that Costco recently, or

338
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: you maybe you don't know, but Costco recently stopped doing

339
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: their in store printing. But of course you can still

340
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: print not in store, you know, you can mail or

341
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 1: upload things to them. But once you get the pictures

342
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: back from these various services, I would analyze them, see

343
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: which one you like the best, see which one has

344
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: the best mix of quality and also the price that

345
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: you pay for it, and then go from there and

346
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 1: also look on their website at their FAQs and see

347
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: how long they say their pictures are going to last. Now,

348
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: you know, to me, it seems like, you know, the

349
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: printed pictures last pretty long. I think if you're going

350
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: the printer route, like a printer that you'd use at home,

351
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure they have all that information on the printer

352
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: itself when you purchase it, how long these pictures are

353
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: expected to last. And what you're talking about doing I've

354
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 1: wanted to do as well for many many years. I

355
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: always say I want to print, you know, a bunch

356
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 1: of pictures and put them in albums, and I want

357
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: to do this once for every month, so you know,

358
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: like January twenty twenty one, it's a great month to

359
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: start and just pick out, you know, a bunch of

360
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: pictures and print them and put them on your on

361
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: your you know, shelf at home, and then when people

362
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: come over, when people start coming over again, it's such

363
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: a natural thing for people to just pull this off

364
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: your coffee table or off a shelf and just start

365
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: flipping through all your great pictures. Now, I know Google

366
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: will do this for you automatically. I believe they will

367
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: pick a bunch of pictures out of your Google Photos

368
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: and automatically send them to you. I haven't tested this,

369
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: so I don't know if you can go in and

370
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: kind of switch things out before you print them. But

371
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: I also know that you can just say, like, hey,

372
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: make me a photo book. I mean, the photo printing

373
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: on Amazon Is or on Google Photos is pretty elaborate,

374
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: and they're using AI to pick your pictures, so I

375
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: would also check into that one. All right, good question,

376
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: And uh yeah, maybe I'll do that one of these days,

377
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: because I used to print pictures a lot and I

378
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: just kind of stopped, all right, let's get to some

379
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: of the rumor mill news. I don't typically do a

380
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: lot of rumor mill stuff just because, you know, I

381
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: try to make this show something of news you can use,

382
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: like I like it to be informative, but like you know,

383
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: helpful for your life. And all the Apple rumors in

384
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: the world, there are so many podcasts dedicated to them,

385
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: and that's fine if you want to keep up with

386
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 1: all the rumors, that's great. Personally, you know, I keep

387
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: an eye on the rumors, but this show is not

388
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 1: about rumors. It's about real life stuff. And the problem is,

389
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: you know, there are some things that just bubble up

390
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: to a place where you have to talk about them,

391
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: and this Apple Car has sort of gotten to that

392
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: place because we just keep hearing so much about the

393
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: Apple Car. I'm not going to spend a whole bunch

394
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: of time on it. But CNBC reporting that Apple is

395
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: going to sign a deal or has sign a deal,

396
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: or is very close to signing a deal with Hyundai

397
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 1: Kia and they're going to make the Apple Car at

398
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: their plant in Georgia. And this is a multi billion

399
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: dollar deal. It's not just a Kia or a Hyundai.

400
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: That's sort of branded as Apple, and it's it's kind

401
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: of like remember when the iPhone came out, and you

402
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: know they use fox con to manufacture it, but AT

403
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: and T was kind of the carrier. So imagine that

404
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: Hyundai Kia. Their technology is the base of this car,

405
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 1: but Apple is the developer and the designer, and they

406
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: kind of dictate everything except for maybe how the car goes, right,

407
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I mean, we'll see, but the production

408
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: they're saying is maybe gonna happen in twenty twenty four.

409
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,239
Speaker 1: And you know, this could be big for Apple if

410
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,479
Speaker 1: they if they capture a bit of the market place

411
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: because it you know, cars are a huge market, and

412
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: you know it has all the inklings of an Apple product. Right.

413
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: It's a thing that people would like to be done better.

414
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: It's a thing that could be electric, it's a thing

415
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 1: that could be high tech. It's a thing that you

416
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: upgrade all the time. I mean, look at the least

417
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 1: the phone least people lease their phones all the time.

418
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: Now they can lease their cars. I mean they're already

419
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: doing that too. So it has all the markings of

420
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 1: a of an area that's ripe for disruption. But cars

421
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: have been very tricky and Tesla I think has done

422
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: a good job of disrupting. But and I think Apple

423
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 1: can do it given the base they have and the

424
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: money they have. But it's not like an overnight done deal.

425
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: But with all that said, would I buy an Apple Car? Probably?

426
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: In fact, I've been saving up for a Tesla, and

427
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: you know, maybe I'll just wait. I think I'm gonna

428
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: wait a little bit longer to purchase. But if I did,

429
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe I'll just wait till twenty twenty four

430
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: when one of these comes out. The only problem is

431
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: buried inside all these headlines it says the Apple car,

432
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: the Apple car, the Apple car is the fact that

433
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: the first generation Apple car might only be for delivery companies.

434
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: They say it's going to be fully autonomous, which I

435
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: don't know, we'll see. I mean, there's a lot to

436
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: unpack with the Apple Car. But again, this is why

437
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: I don't do too many rumors, because it could happen,

438
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: it could never happen, and it could happen completely differently

439
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: than whateveryone's reporting. All Right, Tammy says, Hello, I was

440
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: wondering how I can control what my son does or sees,

441
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: or how much time he spends on his iPhone. I

442
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: have an app called kids Lock, but I'm not very

443
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: happy with it, and Tammy, the reason you're probably not

444
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: very happy with it is because it's tough to lock

445
00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 1: down things on the iPhone. I'm assuming again with the iPhone,

446
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: it's very tricky. On Android, you can do whatever you want,

447
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: Developers can make whatever you want happen. On iPhone, it's

448
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: very tricky because there are very specific rules and regulations

449
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 1: that developers have to abide by when it comes to

450
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: the way that the apps interact with the rest of

451
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: the phone. So I'm guessing that this app does everything

452
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: through a VPN if I had to guess, because on

453
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 1: the iPhone you can't just have an app come in

454
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: and say, oh, we're going to restrict your time on YouTube,

455
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: We're going to restrict your calls and text. It just

456
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: really can't do that kind of stuff as far as

457
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: I know. Yeah, kids Block does not block basic functions

458
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: like calling and texting. So if you can't block that,

459
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: how can you really be called a kids lock, Right,

460
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 1: So I think this must use a VPN. Yeah, that's

461
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 1: some I'm guessing anyway, So what I use at my house,

462
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: I'll just tell you what I use. I use a

463
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: combination of things. I use screen time, which I think

464
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: is probably your best bet if you're on the iPhone.

465
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 1: If your kid is on the iPhone, and it just

466
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: takes a little bit of set up, you put them

467
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 1: on the family plan, you set it up. You can

468
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: do it all from your phone and then it just

469
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,719
Speaker 1: carries over to their device, and you can give them

470
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,719
Speaker 1: a certain amount of time for websites. You can give

471
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: them a certain amount of time for apps. You can

472
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: make down time, which means you know your kid can't

473
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: do certain things at certain times. You can block all

474
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: websites except for ones that you approve. So maybe you

475
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: only want PBS kids to be available, you can do that,

476
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 1: or you can say I only want Apple approved dumb

477
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: you know, kid sites, or you can say block adult sites.

478
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: Whatever you want to do, you can pretty much do it.

479
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: The main thing that you can't do, and I find

480
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: that this is the toughest thing, is that, well you

481
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: can you can sign you can assign time limits for apps,

482
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: like for YouTube. But if your kid is like mine,

483
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: they use a combination of things. Like my kids also

484
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: use a computer and they also use a TV, So

485
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: I use a thing called Circle, which can do these

486
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: things across everything. So it can it can put time

487
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: limits across everything. It can you know, block out apps,

488
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: it can block out certain you know, anything you want,

489
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: and your opportunities are unlimited with Circle. But Circle is

490
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: a device that physically plugs into your network and controls

491
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: it that way. And so you do have to pay.

492
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: It's like one hundred bucks one hundred and twenty bucks,

493
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: but you get a year free and then after that

494
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: you have to pay for the service. But I find

495
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: that if you want the most control, you got to

496
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: go with Circle, because, like in my house, sometimes we

497
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 1: go through times where we completely block YouTube where it

498
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: is just no dice, you can't get onto it, and

499
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: you can just do that. We can also limit the

500
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: time on YouTube across all their devices. So let's say

501
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: they spend fifteen minutes on their iPad watching YouTube, and

502
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 1: then you know, fifteen minutes in the bedroom watching YouTube,

503
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: and then fifteen minutes on the main TV watching YouTube.

504
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: It will be smart enough to add all that time

505
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: up to be to reach their forty five minute limit. Now,

506
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: there are a lot of downsides to this, and believe me,

507
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: I'm always giving my kids more time extra time, screen time.

508
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: You know, everything shuts down at six pm, so they

509
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: give me a hard time for that. It is not easy.

510
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: You know, the more you lock this stuff down, the

511
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: more it does affect you as a parent because you

512
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: have to then spend the time to unlock it or

513
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: give them more time when they run out or when

514
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: you know, on a weekend or something. So and it

515
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,199
Speaker 1: does take a lot of time to set up. But

516
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: I think at the end of the day, the easiest

517
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: thing to do is just to start with screen time

518
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 1: and if that doesn't do what you need, then you

519
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: move on into some other aspects of limiting this stuff.

520
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 1: But believe me, it is a struggle. Even in my home,

521
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: we have effectively blocked roadblocks completely and you know, the

522
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: rest of the stuff is all timed out. But believe me,

523
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: my kids get around it. What they've done now is,

524
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 1: you know, since YouTube is timed on all the main

525
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: TVs and all their computers, they now watch YouTube on

526
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: the smart displays and so they'll just they'll just sit

527
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 1: in one in front of one of the smart displays

528
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: because we don't have those timed out. And the problem

529
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: is if I time out the smart displays and put

530
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 1: them under their profiles. Now, Dad can't look at a

531
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: YouTube video on the smart display when I need to

532
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: see how to chop an onion or something. So it is.

533
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: It is a struggle, and it's really tricky and complicated.

534
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: But just know Tammy that you are not the only

535
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: one that is struggling with this stuff. So and I'll

536
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: check into kids Lock a little bit more and see

537
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: what the deal is with that. But it's let's see,

538
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: it's one hundred dollars for lifetime, sixty dollars for a year,

539
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: six dollars for one month. But yeah, there you have

540
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: it all right, Let's move on to Instagram. Instagram is

541
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 1: rolling out a new feature called recently Deleted and this

542
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: is a feature to help you in two ways. Number One,

543
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: if you delete something mistakenly, you can go back into

544
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: this little folder within thirty days and find it. The

545
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: other thing, and this is interesting, is that if someone

546
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: hacks your account, apparently they delete everything in your account.

547
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: And these instagrammers get really sad because there goes all

548
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: their work, right, all their stuff is gone that they've

549
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: wor on their pretty layouts, all this stuff, and they

550
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: can't get it back even if they happen to regain

551
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: control of their account. So clearly Instagram knows this happens

552
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: all the time, so they are making this recently deleted

553
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: folder where you know, if the hacker comes in and

554
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: they delete everything, it goes into that folder in thirty days,

555
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: and they can't just empty that folder. So to empty it,

556
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: you actually have to somehow verify your identity, and Instagram

557
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: does not say how you verify your identity. But the

558
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: idea here is that let's say you lose access to

559
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: your Instagram account, hacker gets access, they replace all your

560
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: posts with like bitcoin advertisements and flood your feed. You

561
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: get your account back, and now you delete all their

562
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: stuff and now you have nothing. So somehow you will

563
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: say to Instagram, yes, I am who I am, and

564
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: can I please now restore all this stuff? And so

565
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: you can do that. I guess maybe they let you

566
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: restore it, but not permanently delete it. That would make

567
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: more sense, I guess. So to find this, I haven't

568
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: seen this on my phone just yet, but when it's there,

569
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: it'll be under Instagram settings. Account recently deleted and you'll

570
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: have thirty days again to restore things on Instagram. All right,

571
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: let's see Kim says, Hi, my sister and I want

572
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: to get the new iPads eighth generations. Have you heard

573
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: when the ninth generation is coming out and we should wait?

574
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: And it looks like there's a little kissy emoji there

575
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: sent for my iPad. Okay, Kim, okay. So the thing

576
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: I've said this before on the show, but the thing

577
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: that I always look at when it comes to when

578
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: to purchase Apple products. I'm a big believer in the

579
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: fact that you should always purchase Apple products like as

580
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: close to the first day that they come out as possible,

581
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: because apple products have a new life span of about

582
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: a year and then an extended lifespan after that. But

583
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: the fact is you want to get the most bang

584
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: for your buck by getting them in that first year. Now,

585
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: when it comes to the iPad, the iPad standard iPad,

586
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: if you look on this website buyers Guide dot MacRumors

587
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: dot com, it has all the Apple products listed and

588
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,959
Speaker 1: then how many days since the last release the average

589
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: amount of time until they release a new one. So,

590
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: for instance, iPhone the day since last release, it's been

591
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,719
Speaker 1: one hundred and twelve days since the iPhone twelve came out,

592
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: which you can if you can believe that the average

593
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: is three hundred and seventy one days, which if you

594
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: think about it, yes, there's a new iPhone every single year,

595
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: and so the average is about three hundred and seventy

596
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: one days. Then you have the iPad Air. This was

597
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: released alongside the new I think it was well around

598
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: the new iPhone one hundred and twelve days ago. I

599
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: guess was it the same day? Yeah, I guess it

600
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: was the same day, So iPad Air and average time

601
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: for that is six hundred and thirty five days, So

602
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: that's about two years. So every other year they're releasing

603
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: a new iPad Air. Now the iPad this is the

604
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: one that you're talking about days since release September twenty twenty.

605
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: They did this a little bit before the iPhone. This

606
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: has been one hundred and forty three days. The average

607
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: is five hundred and seventy nine. So I would say

608
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: the answer to your question is go ahead, buy the

609
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: iPad because it doesn't look like we're getting another one

610
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: for about another year. Or I'd guess no. Well, let's

611
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: see five seventy nine minus one forty three, so you

612
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: got four hundred and thirty six days, So you basically

613
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: have a year and a half before the new iPad,

614
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: so I would buy the new iPad or right now.

615
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: That way you get the most use out of it

616
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: before the next one comes out. Again, that website is

617
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: Buyer's Guide dot MacRumors dot com. Let's see, do they

618
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: have anything that's like the longest iPad Mini is probably

619
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: the longest six hundred and ninety days since last release.

620
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: That was March twenty nineteen, so six hundred and ninety days.

621
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: And I think I bought my kids the iPad Mini

622
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: in September twenty sixteen, so that's nine hundred and twenty

623
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: two days ago. I do need to upgrade my one

624
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: kid's iPad Mini to a newer model. He keeps bugging

625
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: me about it because he's playing you know, more bigger games.

626
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: But anyway, great website, and that is what I look

627
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: to when I'm looking for those that buying guidance. All right,

628
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: this is a This was kind of a fun thing

629
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: that we talked about on social media on KTLA. But

630
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: you know how you've been in zoom meetings and next

631
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: thing you know, the person freezes or they lock up,

632
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: or their microphone cuts in and out. Well, this is

633
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: a an app that actually does this on purpose. It's

634
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: called Freezing Cam and the founder Kevin Peachee Picky p

635
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: I c c h I peach pick I can't say

636
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: it h Picchi. Let's call Picchi. So Kevin Picchi. He

637
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: made this app. It's called freezing Cam. It's a simple

638
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: app for your Mac computer. And when you're in a

639
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: meeting and you know things are getting a little crazy,

640
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: things are getting a little wide, do you need to

641
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: kind of take a little breather. You can just press

642
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: this freezing cam butt and it will freeze your camera

643
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: or it will stutter your camera so it looks like

644
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: you're having connection issues. In the future, there will be

645
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: an option to mess up with your mic as well.

646
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: This works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, go to

647
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: meeting wherebe or whereby, and WebEx works on mac os

648
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: right now, And he said the idea came from a

649
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 1: discussion with a bunch of friends who were complaining about

650
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: the hassles of having to turn on their cameras during meetings.

651
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: Oh okay, earlier I read that he said that it

652
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: was him wanting to turn on and off his camera

653
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 1: during meetings to do random things, you know, like sometimes

654
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: your kid comes nearby and you got to like, you know,

655
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: wish them away or you know, kind of swosh them away,

656
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: and then or they ask you something and you got

657
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: to talk to them. So it's just perfect. You just

658
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: freeze your camera or make it stutter, and you know,

659
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: you can do your business on the side, and then

660
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: you can get back to your meeting and nobody, you know,

661
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: they just assume that you you have a little problem

662
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: with your connection. So again it's called freezing cam. I

663
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: have not downloaded it because the last time I downloaded

664
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: one of these these camera add ons. The way they

665
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: work is that they become a virtual camera for your computer,

666
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 1: and once you get them on there, it's kind of

667
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: like every time, it's kind of like it sees it

668
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: as its own little webcam. So it could present some

669
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 1: issues if you're trying to join meetings, and it's always

670
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: going to default to that if you have that going on,

671
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: and sometimes if you forget about it, it's just I

672
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: had one. I downloaded two of these things to test

673
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: them out. One was from Snap and it was like

674
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: their virtual camera, which is really cool, but it you know,

675
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: it takes over your camera every time, and sometimes you'll

676
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: show up as a potato head. And then the second

677
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: one I did was just like Loomy. It was called

678
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: I Think Loomy AI and again it was really cool,

679
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: but I could never get it to work properly, but

680
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: it kept taking over my video camera. And so anyway,

681
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: now I don't use these virtual cams because they can

682
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: mess with your connections and what you need to do.

683
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: So just know that before where you download it, and

684
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: if you have a good way of uninstalling, you know,

685
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,439
Speaker 1: just know, like I use an app called clean my Mac,

686
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: so that's always a good way to get that as well,

687
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: to get those programs out of there when you're done

688
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: using them. All right, let's get to another question from

689
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:26,760
Speaker 1: uh Karna Happy Sunny Sunday. I love you and watch

690
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 1: you all the time. I love your advice and your tips.

691
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if you could do a review on the

692
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 1: regular Galaxy S twenty one, not the Ultra. I'm thinking

693
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: of upgrading and the Ultra has some great features, but

694
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: it's just too much money for me. I want to

695
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: know how the S twenty one is. Thank you Karina, Well,

696
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: thank you Karina for the email, and you're right. I

697
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 1: when I did my review on TV of the SAMSUNGS.

698
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: I did the S twenty one Ultra. That's the one

699
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 1: I primarily concentrated on. The reason for that is because

700
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 1: I wanted to show off the latest and greatest features

701
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: and features set that Samsung has and I was thinking

702
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 1: from myself as a power user and to be completely honest.

703
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 1: Once I did that and in I've here's the thing,

704
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: this is the truth here. So when I'm doing my

705
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: reviews for KTLA, I only have a minute and thirty seconds, right,

706
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,760
Speaker 1: so I do not have a long time to really

707
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: get into the nitty gritty of these devices. So I

708
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: have to do the most top level information that I

709
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: think the average person watching local news needs to know.

710
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: And that gets very, very tricky because I'm a nerd.

711
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: I you know, I know a lot about these devices.

712
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 1: I use them, I compare them, and I you know,

713
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 1: but the reality is I need to distill them in

714
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: a way that is super easy and super fast for

715
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: my audience and that fits into my time slot. And

716
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,240
Speaker 1: so that's why generally I'll do more stuff on Facebook

717
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: and social media and you'll see me post about my

718
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: experience with these things along the way, so that if

719
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: you're following me on social or listening to me on

720
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: the podcast or my reviews online, you can actually get

721
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: a bigger picture of what this is all about. Now.

722
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,720
Speaker 1: In years past, with some of these devices, I've often

723
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: done two in one, but I realized that that even

724
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: does a bigger disservice because there's no way that you

725
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: can compare and contrast these two things that quickly, and

726
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: it gets very confusing for the end user because I

727
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: have to say every single time what device I'm referencing.

728
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: She get one hundred times zoom on the Ultra. You

729
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: get a thirty time zoom on the S twenty one,

730
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: and that becomes very confusing after your you know, by

731
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: the time you get through your piece, all you've done

732
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 1: is say what's on the one and what's on the

733
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,479
Speaker 1: what's not on the other. So with the S twenty

734
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: one Ultra, I decided to do just the S twenty

735
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: one Ultra, and it's it was kind of a disservice

736
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: because I realized after using the S twenty one, that

737
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: is a great phone for the for the typical person

738
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: and not necessarily the power user. In fact, that became

739
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 1: my favorite phone due to the form factor and the

740
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: size of it. I like the functionality on the S

741
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: twenty one Ultra, but I like the size of the

742
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:09,280
Speaker 1: S twenty one better. But here's another thing. I can't

743
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: really go ahead and do another segment on KTLA and

744
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: for all my stations on another Samsung phone right after

745
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: I just did a Samsung segment on the S twenty

746
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 1: one Ultra and then I do an S twenty one

747
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,280
Speaker 1: the next day. It would be very confusing. And also,

748
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: you know that's a lot of It's just it's very,

749
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: very tough, And these are the decisions that you know

750
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: kind of are in the background that I don't necessarily

751
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: talk about in a public way. But as the sort

752
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: of editor in chief of my own segment that goes

753
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 1: out to all these stations, I have to make the

754
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: best decisions based on what I know to be kind

755
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 1: of what's happening. And I don't want to do a

756
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: disservice to people out there that do want something that

757
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: is better than the iPhone or comes up more closer

758
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 1: against the iPhone. The S twenty one I see as

759
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 1: a very good phone, but it's nothing like groundbreaking compared

760
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: to what's out there, whereas the S twenty one really is.

761
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: I mean, it's pretty fantastic as a device. So that's

762
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 1: a long, long answer to or long explanation to. The

763
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: simple answer is yes, the S twenty one is perfect.

764
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: It's fantastic. I don't have any problems with it. I

765
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: would use it as my daily driver if mainly if

766
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,240
Speaker 1: it had more memory, perhaps because it only has eight gigs,

767
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 1: which is enough, but I find that I to me,

768
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: I just want the best, and when I'm using the

769
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: iPhone twelve Pro, that's the best, and the Samsung S

770
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: twenty one is not the best that Samsung has to offer.

771
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 1: The S twenty one Ultra is and I want that

772
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: in the form factor that is convenient to me, and

773
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: the S twenty one Ultra is just not convenient. It's

774
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: so big that I just I want to use it

775
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: and I can't. It's just too big on a daily basis.

776
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 1: It doesn't fit in my pocket, it doesn't you can't

777
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: hold it comfortably. And so for all those reasons, the

778
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: S twenty one is my favorite, but I just can't

779
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 1: really bring myself to using it because when I really

780
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 1: think about it, it's not better than when I get

781
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: off the iPhone twelve Pro, and that is my personal

782
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 1: experience and my personal situation. For you, if you want

783
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 1: the if money is the most important thing, what you're saying,

784
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: that's just too much money, then yes, the S twenty

785
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: one is going to be just fantastic and it is

786
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 1: a great phone. But I'm primarily interested in content creation.

787
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: And again this is inside baseball, but I want to

788
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: be able to do things that are unique and different

789
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: and not necessarily available to everyone. And by the Ultra,

790
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:30,839
Speaker 1: that's what you get because you get one hundred times

791
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 1: zoom and all these other cool camera tricks that are

792
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: very unique, and some of the things are not available

793
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: on the iPhone and so even on the iPhone twelve pro.

794
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: And so that's why I'd like to use it, because

795
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: then you have some cool tricks that people look at

796
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 1: your social media and say, oh, that's cool, how did

797
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: you do that? You know this picture and picture mode

798
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 1: and things like that. So again that is my situation.

799
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: But for you know, an average person who's just using

800
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: this phone. It's their phone. You're not really cared about

801
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,320
Speaker 1: all that stuff. You're not really interested in trying to

802
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: impress people with fancy, random features like I am. So again,

803
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: S twenty one is a fantastic phone. It's Samsung's best ever,

804
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: not just you know, it's just their best ever. They've

805
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 1: never made a better phone than that device. And so

806
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:18,280
Speaker 1: that is a fantastic phone to get, and I highly

807
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: recommend you get it. All Right, I said earlier in

808
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: the beginning of the in the beginning of the podcast,

809
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: that there are some what I say, how did I

810
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,280
Speaker 1: call them? Oh, dangerous smart doorbells. And this is something

811
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,359
Speaker 1: that I've kind of alluded to, but this is some

812
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: security research from Cyberscoop. They talk about vulnerabilities in Genie

813
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: and Mercury branded security cameras and smart doorbells. And I've

814
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 1: often talked about how when you're looking at Internet of

815
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: Things devices, the smaller companies or the let's say, the

816
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:55,280
Speaker 1: more inexpensive companies, you know, the stuff that's sold really cheap.

817
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: And I know Mercury specifically because I was at Walmart

818
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:00,720
Speaker 1: and I bought one of their five dollars smart bulbs.

819
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: But here is kind of the concern in the back

820
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: of my head. And I'm not saying it's always, but

821
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: you think, okay, if these things are selling for really cheap,

822
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 1: where are they cutting the corners? And in some cases,

823
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: it could be the security of those devices. The software

824
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 1: might not be as robust when it comes to security,

825
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: it might not be as updated as much as some

826
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: other devices like a ring or you know, a Nest

827
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 1: camera or maybe like a Google Nest Audio like a

828
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: speaker from them. So you do have to be on

829
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 1: your guard when it comes to these cheap, cheap devices.

830
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 1: And so these researchers say that they found some vulnerabilities

831
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: in the Genie and Mercury branded security cameras and smart

832
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: doorbells that would allow hackers to take full control of

833
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: these devices and remotely disabled cameras through a denial of service,

834
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: and some exploits would even allow hackers to gain remote

835
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: access to a video stream of one of the affected doorbells. Now,

836
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:01,720
Speaker 1: with all this said, the company Genie told these folks

837
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,919
Speaker 1: the cyber Scoop or someone that we have no known

838
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 1: exploits of any of these vulnerabilities. So a lot of

839
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,280
Speaker 1: times when you hear this scary stuff on the news,

840
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: it's it's researchers that find these vulnerabilities, but they're not

841
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: necessarily tested in the public, Like it's not just happening

842
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 1: all the time. And you have to keep that in mind. Now,

843
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean you should let your guard down. It

844
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: is scary when these vulnerabilities are found because it only

845
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 1: takes one one hacker to exploit them and to use

846
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 1: it in a big way to their advantage, and you

847
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 1: don't want to be on that train. So again, what

848
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: does it come down to. By the way, Mercury spokesperson

849
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,919
Speaker 1: told Cyberscoop that the fixes should be available later this month,

850
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: we're recording this in February, so hopefully by the end

851
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: of February. But again I think this is just more

852
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: of a bigger word to the wise kind of explanation

853
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: is that no matter what, you got to use different

854
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,879
Speaker 1: passwords for things, you got to set up two FO authentication,

855
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: and you have to just more importantly keep in mind

856
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: what you are doing. Any of these smart gadgets that

857
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 1: you put on your network, if they are exposed or

858
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: if someone has access to them, it could end up

859
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: exposing your entire network. And if you have something like

860
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 1: I do, like a NASS on my network, and you

861
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 1: know someone might be able to get access to that,

862
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: So again you have to think down the line of

863
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: what is the repercussion of someone getting access to one

864
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: of my things on my network. So don't let your

865
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 1: guard down and do what you can to fortify your network. Personally,

866
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: I use a guest network when people come into my home.

867
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: You know, oh, Rich, what's the Wi Fi password? Hold on,

868
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: let me take the two seconds to actually get you

869
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: on my guest network, which is insulated from my regular network,

870
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 1: so that a you can't go in and change things

871
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 1: or switch things, or you know, mess with my smart

872
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 1: home stuff or access my resources on the network. You

873
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: can have your own personal network. You can do whatever

874
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 1: you need to. And you know, let's say there was

875
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: a some sort of malware or virus on your phone

876
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:06,320
Speaker 1: that would propagate to my network when you connect, it

877
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: would just stay on the guest network. And that's why

878
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: you have a guest network. So if you have one

879
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: of those on your router, please set it up and

880
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:21,879
Speaker 1: use it. It's it's a pretty smart thing to do, all right.

881
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:25,359
Speaker 1: Let's see question from Joe Ann. I have an iPhone eight.

882
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 1: I want to know what is the easiest way to

883
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 1: delete duplicate photos in my album? And my answer is

884
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 1: an app. I feel like I just answered this question

885
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: on another podcast. Maybe I even answered this question. But

886
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 1: Gemini photos that is the That's the app that I

887
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 1: would recommend. The main thing I would say is make

888
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 1: sure that you have a backup of your pictures on

889
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:50,359
Speaker 1: your computer before you go through and delete these duplicates

890
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 1: because this you know, it's nice to let these apps

891
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: do things on their own and let them kind of,

892
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: you know, help us and do things in an automated manner.

893
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:01,799
Speaker 1: But you know, if something ever happened, you don't want

894
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: to lose your picture. So Gemini g E M I

895
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: ni Gemini Photos. I think, let's see how much they

896
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: charge for this app. Well, I can't really tell you

897
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 1: because it's trying to force me into the app store,

898
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: which I don't want to do. But in general I

899
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 1: would do I would plug your iPhone into a computer,

900
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 1: make a complete backup of your iPhone, and then I

901
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 1: would run Gemini Photos. And a regular listener of the show,

902
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 1: Tony has pointed out to me that I often talk

903
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 1: about Google Photos and how you should back your photos

904
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 1: up to there and then you can clear out space

905
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: on your iPhone by back by using their clear up

906
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 1: space or clear up storage functionality, which deletes the photos

907
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: off your phone. And Tony was saying, Rich, you know

908
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: you might want to tell people that when you do that,

909
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 1: it's probably going to delete their pictures out of iCloud

910
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,879
Speaker 1: as well, and that's probably true. I don't use iCloud

911
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 1: for my photos, so I don't really have a lot

912
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: of experience there, but yes, if I had to think

913
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,760
Speaker 1: about that, if you are let's say you're on an iPhone,

914
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 1: you save a picture to your iPhone and it's backed

915
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:10,359
Speaker 1: up to iCloud, and then you clear that picture out

916
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:13,320
Speaker 1: by uploading it to Google Photos and letting Google Photos

917
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 1: reclaim your storage, it would delete that picture off your phone,

918
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: which would then in fact delete the picture from iCloud storage.

919
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 1: So yes, you probably don't want to use Google's automated

920
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: functionality to delete your pictures off your phone. You would

921
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 1: want to go in and delete them manually, the ones

922
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 1: that you don't need from your camera roll. But I

923
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 1: would also say that you probably shouldn't need to do

924
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 1: that if you're using iCloud photos. There's a feature or

925
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 1: an option in settings to optimize iPhone storage, So if

926
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: you have that turned on with iCloud, it will offload

927
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,439
Speaker 1: your photos to iCloud and keep little thumbnails on your phone,

928
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: but it'll keep the full rest pictures off on the cloud,

929
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: so that's not taking up space on your phone. And

930
00:48:58,560 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: then let's say you ever wanted to share one of

931
00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:03,319
Speaker 1: the pictures or whatever, it'll immediately download it back to

932
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 1: your phone on demand when you need it. I know

933
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: it all sounds very complicated, but yeah, good good delineation.

934
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 1: Good thing to kind of think about. You know, if

935
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 1: you're cleaning up your pictures on your phone, you don't

936
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: want to see them go all over the place. Oh

937
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 1: my gosh, is that it. I think it's time for

938
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 1: the end of the show. Yes, it is. That's what

939
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: that sound means. So I have any other things to

940
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 1: talk about? No, I guess not I do. I mean,

941
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 1: there's always more questions that I can answer. I mean,

Speaker 1: kind of a little goodbye, not to you, but to

962
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: my boss, Jason Ball. He is leaving KTLA. This is

963
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 1: the person that hired me twelve years ago to do

964
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 1: a tech job, to do my same job at KKEL,

965
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: and then I moved over to KTLA. It's been ten

966
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 1: years there and he is leaving on his own accord.

967
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:50,800
Speaker 1: He is somewhat retiring, figuring out what to do next.

968
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 1: He has been an inspiration at KTLA. He has let

969
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: me fly. He is let my wings spread out and

970
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:01,359
Speaker 1: soar there. So thank you Jason for your hands off

971
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 1: approach to day to day but swooping in when necessary

972
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,239
Speaker 1: to give us the guidance that we so often need

973
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 1: in this business. So thank you for that. Thank you

974
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,760
Speaker 1: for pushing me to do this podcast and really fighting

975
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 1: to get it under the KTLA umbrella a couple of

976
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:20,560
