1
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: What it's like to be at CS twenty twenty two

2
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas in person, BMW's color changing car, the

3
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 1: ring alarm system gets legitimate. Finally, plus your tech questions answered.

4
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 1: What is going on? I'm Rich Jamiro and this is

5
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: Rich on Tech, the podcast where I talk about the

6
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: tech stuff I think you should know about. It's also

7
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: the place where I answer the questions you send me.

8
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: I'm the tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles,

9
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: coming to you today from CEES twenty twenty two in

10
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. I love my setup in this hotel room

11
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: because I've got this bar, and no it's not stocked

12
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: with cocktails. It's stocked with all the equipment I need

13
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: to do this podcast. So I've got this standing desk,

14
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: I've got the board, my computer, my little timer. I

15
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: mean this is better than my at home set up

16
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 1: for the podcast. So welcome to a New Year twenty

17
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: twenty two. I hope you had a great holiday get together. Well,

18
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: I mean ours were derailed, so I'm sure many others were,

19
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: so we made the best of it. It was definitely

20
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: an interesting holiday season, that's for sure. I think New

21
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: Year's let's see Christmas Eve was impacted, Christmas Day was impacted,

22
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: and New Year's Eve were all impacted by COVID. Not

23
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: anyone in my family, thankfully, but lots of friends and family.

24
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: So they're all doing okay, which is nice. But Man

25
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: Man Man really just kind of took its toll on

26
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: so many people's plans and things like that. So I

27
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: hope you're doing well. It's twenty twenty two, it's a

28
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: new year. I don't really do a lot of resolutions.

29
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: The show, as you can see, doesn't feel or sound

30
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: much different. Although you know, when I was little, when

31
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: I was little, when I was younger, and you know,

32
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: my favorite thing about any sort of like media, know,

33
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: like if I watched like a TV show or something,

34
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: was always when they got like a new set or

35
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: like new music or like a new look for the graphics.

36
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: Like I always thought that was so cool. But we've

37
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: got none of that. There's absolutely Oh the music, look

38
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: at this, the music is still going there. You go,

39
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: same old sound effects, same old music, same old everything,

40
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: but same old rich which is good. So you get

41
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: the rich on tech that you're looking for. Here. The

42
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: questions answered, the stories that we talk about on the

43
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: show So if your first time listener, the show format

44
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: is pretty simple. People send me questions, I answer those questions,

45
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: and I also talk about some of the stories of

46
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: note from that week. So this week it's all about CES.

47
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm here in Las Vegas and there's so

48
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: many haters, so many haters on CES this year, so

49
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: many people did not come to the show. Very small

50
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: show this year, even though there's still don't get me wrong,

51
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: there's still a lot of people here. It's not like

52
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: this place is a ghost town. Believe me, it is packed.

53
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: It's just not as packed as in your past. So

54
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: there's definitely room to walk in the aisles. There's not

55
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: like a huge weight at booths to see stuff or

56
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: to talk to people, which is all really nice. But

57
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: of course the sad part is it's all because of

58
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: a pandemic. So CES has a bunch of these new

59
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: rules in place. You had to show your vaccination card

60
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: to get in. You had to Uh, let's see what else,

61
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: oh masks. Every day everyone's wearing the kN ninety fives

62
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: because apparently those are better for you. Uh. And then

63
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: let's see what else they gave you. They gave you

64
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: COVID tests which you didn't have to take. They were

65
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: just sort of for you to have, and you know,

66
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: if you wanted to test yourself. Some people I know

67
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: have been testing themselves every day. And then there's this

68
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: little thing. I tweeted out these new stickers that you

69
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: can put on your badge. So I thought this was

70
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: pretty brilliant. Actually, there's three stickers you can choose from.

71
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: The first is a green sticker and it says I'm

72
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: okay with handshakes. The second is a yellow sticker it

73
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: says I'm okay with elbow and fist bumps. And the

74
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: third is a red sticker that says no touching, I'm

75
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: happy just waving hello. Now, I've been seeing people and

76
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: talking to people. Everyone has a different level of comfort

77
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: with this pandemic and with you know, just in general,

78
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: and so everyone does something different when you first say

79
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: hi to them, and so I've been doing kind of

80
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: the elbow or fist bump. I think that's a good

81
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,559
Speaker 1: safe middle ground, and so that's what I've been doing.

82
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: I put the yellow sticker on my badge and I

83
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: don't think anyone noticed it or said anything, but I

84
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: just found it today on the last day of cees,

85
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: so maybe that's why I didn't have it for the

86
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: other two days. The other thing I wanted to mention

87
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: about Las Vegas is man, oh man, they have been

88
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: very busy upgrading at least the Verizon network here. So

89
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: I've got Verizon five G on my phone and I'm

90
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: not kidding. I have never seen more five g UW

91
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: signal anywhere in my entire life. It is unbelievable. Now.

92
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: The thing I don't like about it is that it's

93
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: super fast on the download, which is amazing for ninety

94
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: nine point nine percent of people. But my life is

95
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: all about the upload because I'm uploading to social media

96
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: and I found that no joke. I'm just looking at

97
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: my speed test here. I went to Allegiant Stadium, which

98
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: is nice and really new and you know, Home of

99
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: the Raiders, really cool place, and I did a speed

100
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: test in the parking lot and it was I kid you,

101
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: not two point five gigabits down. That's twenty five hundred down.

102
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: That's really fast. Like at home. Most people have like,

103
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: you know, two four hundred something like that. If they're lucky,

104
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: sometimes they have a gig, but a lot of times

105
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: people have like twenty five forty whatever, So two point

106
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: five down is like unbelievably, it's unheard of. I've never

107
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: seen anything like that before. But the upload speed was

108
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: a paltry forty six, which is just a tiny, tiny

109
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: upload speed. I mean, it's fine, but again, it would

110
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: be nice if that was like one hundred. Now, I

111
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: get it most of the time with these the way

112
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: these networks work is that the download speed is really

113
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: fast because that's what people care about the most, and

114
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: then the upload speed is not as fast. But for me,

115
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: I'm all about the upload speed. We were trying to

116
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: upload a video today at the convention Center and for

117
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: some reason we were like in this whole spot where

118
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: the signal was just not that good and so it

119
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: just took forever. And even at the convention Center when

120
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: I had a really fast download speed, the upload was

121
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: still not that good. So I don't know if they've

122
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: tweaked that just to make it, you know, to make

123
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: people be able to download stuff. But the reality is,

124
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: I've never seen such a large presence of five GUW

125
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: in my life, and I think it's because Vegas is

126
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: really flat or something. So I remember, like when Sprint

127
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: first came out with their advanced network. They launched it

128
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: first in Las Vegas, and I think T Mobile did

129
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: the same. So there's something about Vegas. Maybe it's just

130
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: easy to launch networks here. I don't know. But whatever

131
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: you're doing for Eizon here in town, keep it up

132
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: and please expand it to the rest of the US,

133
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: because we all need these speeds. They are just so amazing.

134
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,679
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the first question of the week.

135
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: Hey rich all your tips and look forward to seeing

136
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: you on the WGN Chicago midnight News. Thank you. I

137
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: also have your website bookmarked on my computer. Thanks. Lately,

138
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: it seems that Yahoo mail is not blocking sexual spam

139
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: with a UK extension. I've been job searching for the

140
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: past several months. I'm wondering if I got on some

141
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: hackers list through a job website. I've started blocking the

142
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: email addresses on Yahoo security, but it's very frustrating anyway.

143
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: I thought maybe changing my Yahoo email address would help,

144
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: but I cannot, for the life of me, find the

145
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: place in the Yahoo mail to change my password. Do

146
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: you know where that option lives? Wendy, Wendy, you can't

147
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: change your email address, you could change your password and

148
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: so if you want to do that on the web,

149
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: you can go to your Yahoo account security page, click

150
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: change password and to your new password, and there you go.

151
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: If you're on the Yahoo mobile app, you can look

152
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: at the obviously you go into the menu icon usually

153
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: it's on the side of the menu, and then if

154
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: you're using the mail app, it's manage Accounts, account infos

155
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: curity settings. You'll get a code tap change password and

156
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: then tap I would rather change my password, enter the

157
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: new password and its confirmation and tap continue. So it

158
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: is a little bit of a convoluted system to change

159
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: the password for Yahoo. They probably do that to protect you.

160
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: But if if you want to do that, I would

161
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: do that. But I don't think that this person has

162
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: access to your account. I think that they. I think

163
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: that you probably have gotten on some lists, but I

164
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: also find that a lot of this spam comes and goes.

165
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: It may not be this list from your job searching.

166
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: It may just be that your Yahoo email address got

167
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: out there in the wild from some other data hack.

168
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: There's so many data breaches on a regular basis at

169
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: this point, and the best website to look to look

170
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: and see if your email address has been you know,

171
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: released on the Open Web is a website name Have

172
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: I Been Poned, and it's have I Been Pwned? And

173
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: you basically type in your email and it will tell

174
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: you all the different places that that email address has

175
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: showed up in a large data breach, and you know

176
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: it's it's the website is by the way, it's very respectable.

177
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: So you're not gonna you're not gonna put yourself at

178
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: risk by putting your email address into this website. Just

179
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: make sure you go to the right one, which is

180
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: have I Been Pwned dot com. But that's what I

181
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: would do for you, uh to see. But these things

182
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: come and go. Sometimes you get a lot of spam.

183
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: Sometimes you don't. Just make sure you report them as spam.

184
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: All right, let's get back to CES. You know all

185
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: almost all the stories are going to be CYES related

186
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: because that's where I am, and there's just so much

187
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: to see this year, and there's so like I said,

188
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: there's so many haters that didn't actually come to the show,

189
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 1: and they're sort of like couch hating, whereas like I'm

190
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 1: actually here, I'm on the ground. I saw a lot

191
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: of cool stuff. It's like the first time I think

192
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: Facebook like blocked me from sharing stuff because they were

193
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: so sick of it, because they're like, wait, this guy

194
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: hasn't shared much in like two years because you know,

195
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: I've been at home for the pandemic and or not

196
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: out and about as much. Like now of a sudden,

197
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: he's sharing something like every hour. Let's block him. So

198
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: I feel like my stuff is not reaching as many

199
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: people as i'd like it to. But I'm sure everyone

200
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: feels that way. Anyway. BMW has a color changing car

201
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 1: that I saw, so they essentially wrapped a BMW. I

202
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 1: don't know if it was some sort of suv. They

203
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: have in e ink, so that's the same ink that

204
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: they use on the kindle. And I asked the person

205
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: in the engineer there's a doctor actually that did this,

206
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: and she said that it was very challenging because the

207
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: e ink is like a flat panel and cars are

208
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: not flat panel, so getting the e ink to sort

209
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: of wrap around all these different angles of the car

210
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: was really the trickiest part. But she said that the

211
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: e ink is very sustainable the way they make it apparently,

212
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: and also the energy efficiency of it. It's very energy efficient,

213
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: and when you look at this car, it sort of

214
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: changes from black to white, white to black, any gradient

215
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: in there. And yes, it's just black and white right now.

216
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: But in the future, you know, I asked, and she said, absolutely,

217
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: you will have a color changing car in the future.

218
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: And so that's pretty wild to think about that your

219
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: car will change color, you know, go from you know, oh,

220
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: I feel like having a red car today or I

221
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 1: want a yellow car today. And of course there are

222
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: some real benefits of this, and one of them is

223
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: that you can have your car black in the winter

224
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: to sort of absorb the sun and keep it warm,

225
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: and then white in the summer to reflect the sun.

226
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: And so that's just one sort of real world case scenario.

227
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: Another one they gave is that let's say these cars

228
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: were part of some sort of fleet, you know, like

229
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: even an uber whatever, you know, the uber could drive

230
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: up and on the side of the car would say

231
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: your name or maybe a special code, so you knew

232
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: that that was the car that you're looking for. Maybe

233
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: it just says Uber on the side, or maybe when

234
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: you're delivering pizza, says Dominoes on the side. I mean,

235
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: there's so many implications of this technology. It's really quite phenomenal,

236
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: and I think That's definitely the video that has gone

237
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: the most viral on my Twitter for sure, because people

238
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: are just debating this and it looks really cool. I mean,

239
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: I don't you know. It's one of these things where yes,

240
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: it's very prototype e, very concept d right now, but

241
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: the reality is it shows us what is going to

242
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: happen in the future. Every I would say, so many

243
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: of the things I've seen at CES, I'm just like, wow,

244
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: that's so wild. They end up happening, Like nine out

245
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: of ten they end up happening. It might take five years,

246
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: might take ten years, but they end up happening, and

247
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: it's pretty wild. Now, there's a lot of stuff that

248
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: doesn't end up happening, and a lot of this stuff

249
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: changes and evolves, but the fact is BMW is on it.

250
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: There's so many benefits to this technology, stuff we haven't

251
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: even thought of. I Mean, one of the other examples

252
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: they gave is, let's say there's a piece failing on

253
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: the car. Let's say it's the right door handle. Maybe

254
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: the right door handle is circled on your car, and

255
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: so you know when you walk up to your car

256
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: that it's you know, there's a problem with that handle,

257
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: and you can get it fixed. So little things like that. Again,

258
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: if you want to check it out, check out my

259
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: Twitter the BMW color changing car. All right, next question

260
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: here comes from Jackie. Hey, Rich, Happy New Year to

261
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: you and your family. I'd like to know if you've

262
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: previously reviewed the Omni Stick. Oh, here we go. My

263
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: husband and I have lots of photos online and even

264
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: old flip phones that we keep just for the photos

265
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: they contain. We'd love to capture all of these photos

266
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: and wonder if the Omni stick would work for our

267
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: phones and our old dinosaur flip phones. Thanks Rich, Jackie.

268
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: I have not reviewed the Omni Stick, but I believe

269
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: I've heard of this thing. I think it's advertised and

270
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: all that good stuff. It's one of these things where

271
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: I don't okay, the photostick omni So it's on Amazon,

272
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: It's got one hundred and six reviews. If you look

273
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: at it, it looks pretty old school. It's just not

274
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: something that I would want to share or trust my

275
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: memories on. So what I would say is go with

276
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: the one that I like, which is the sand Disc.

277
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: So sand Disc makes one called I Expand, and they

278
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: make a couple different versions for various you know, whether

279
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: it's the iPhone, whether it's Android. They have a couple

280
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: different versions. So just look up sand disc I expand

281
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: and look for the new one if you can. The

282
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: the flash drive Go I think is the newest one

283
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: which goes between the the well. You'll see, it's just good.

284
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: It's just a better one. So that's what I would recommend.

285
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: Now when it comes to all, let me see what

286
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: did you say about your pictures? Now? The flip phones

287
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: is gonna be tricky flip phones getting the photos off

288
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: of those, you know, it's really depends on the phone.

289
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: So I'm looking. I'm looking to see if there's anything

290
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: like there used to be software. Oh okay, that's actually

291
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: a good idea. A lot of people are saying use

292
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: bluetooth to send the photos from your phone to your

293
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: other phone. That's a cool way to do it. So

294
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: that's not too bad. That's a that's a good good idea. Also,

295
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: you might be able to search for software specials, like

296
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: search the model. What I would do is search the

297
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: model of the flip phone and then say, you know,

298
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: get photos off, and then the model of the flip phone,

299
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: and then maybe software and then see if there's software

300
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: that will do that. Otherwise you might be able to

301
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: you might be able to bring them in somewhere, So

302
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: you might be able to bring them into like you know,

303
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: a Best Buy or like a U break I fix,

304
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: and you might be able to connect this phone to

305
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: your computer with a USB cable. So that's another way

306
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: to do it. But I think a lot of people

307
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: the linking up the phone via Bluetooth to another device,

308
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: perhaps with you know, either a computer or another phone,

309
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: just say send file, Just send them that way. It's

310
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: a slow process, definitely not the best way to do it.

311
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: But you probably didn't take that many pictures on these

312
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: old phones anyway, because they were you know, now we

313
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: take a thout. You know, I've taken so many pictures

314
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: on my phone this week that I can't even believe it.

315
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: But back in the day, you know, you took one

316
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: phone photo a week, or one photo every you know,

317
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: a couple of days. It's just the way we did things.

318
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: So so I would try that out and see what happens.

319
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: All right, So I went over to the Samsung booth

320
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: at CES and they had a lot of stuff. So

321
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: the LG booth was really weird. It was I guess

322
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: they made a last minute decision to sort of exit

323
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: the show and so or I don't know when they

324
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: made the decision, but the booth was was very, very sparse,

325
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: and so there was just nothing there. It was like

326
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: you went around the booth and you scanned QR codes

327
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: and I don't think anyone actually did it. So I'd

328
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: love to see the number of people that actually did that,

329
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: but I don't know if they did. So Samsung they

330
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: went all out. They had a huge booth filled with

331
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: stuff and some new stuff as well. A couple things

332
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: I saw there. Number one, this new projector called the Freestyle.

333
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: This is a projector that is super easy. It's on

334
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: a hinge, It rotates one hundred and eighty degrees and

335
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: you can It's got a speaker built in, and it

336
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: projects up to a one hundred inch screen. It's nine

337
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: hundred dollars, which is super pricey, but again it's one

338
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: of these things where you can see where we're going here.

339
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: Projectors like this are going to just continue to get

340
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: cheaper now that Samsung's doing it. We can expect these

341
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: prices to drop and drop and drop to a place

342
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: where basically, when your kid says oh, I want a

343
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: TV in my room. You say, how about a giant

344
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: wall for your TV? And I'm not debating the merits

345
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: of whether your kid should have a TV in the

346
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: room or not. I'm just saying that's my example. Or

347
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: maybe you're outside like we do once in a while,

348
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: we have like a movie night out in the backyard,

349
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: and you know, especially during the pandemic, and now you

350
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: can simply you know, it's not rechargeable. It may eventually

351
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: come with a rechargeable battery like that you can connect

352
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: to it, and I'm not sure what the feasibility is

353
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: of plugging into like sort of a portable power bank.

354
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 1: I mean, you might be able to do that, but

355
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: it's really cool and I saw the other The other

356
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: trick to this thing is that you can screw it

357
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: into a standard light bulb socket. So that's another you know,

358
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: they now at home, you probably wouldn't want to do that,

359
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 1: but if you had like a restaurant or something, you

360
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: have like a light bulb in the ceiling, you can

361
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,239
Speaker 1: project a cool image on the floor or something like that.

362
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of both personal and business applications

363
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: of this thing. But it's called the freestyle check it out.

364
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: It looks really cool and it does everything by itself,

365
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: so it optimizes the screen size, it auto focuses, it

366
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: levels the image when it's on an angle, so it

367
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: does everything you need and you can access apps on

368
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: it like Netflix and Spotify and all that stuff. And

369
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: it's just one of those things that's like you see

370
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: it and you're like, ah, I really want that, Like

371
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: can you imagine bringing that to your hotel room and

372
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: just being able to watch like TV on your wall.

373
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 1: That was always my dream in hotel rooms, like just

374
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: to have like a giant like like, why I'm looking

375
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: at my TV screen in the middle of this wall.

376
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: I've turned it on exactly once the entire time. But

377
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't it be cool if that was just a blank

378
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: wall and I could just put this projector on that wall.

379
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: So and again, since it's you know, you can angle

380
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: it one hundred and eighty and it also automatically adjusts

381
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: to fit the space. It's you know, you don't really

382
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 1: have to sit there and adjust like what do they

383
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: call a keystone or something like the way like angles

384
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: in on the edges and stuff. So just a just

385
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: a cool thing that they've done. There. The other thing

386
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 1: I saw at Samsung is this Eco remote and it's

387
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,959
Speaker 1: a it's a remote control. This is so weird, but

388
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: it has no batteries inside it. Actually it's called the

389
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: Eco remote. It gets its energy from your Wi Fi signal,

390
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: so it does something called RF harvesting. They showed me,

391
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: you know, the little uh dissected remote control with the parts.

392
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: There's some sort of like antenna in there and then

393
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: some sort of piece of like semiconductor and somehow it

394
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: all the radio waves power the antenna and are sorry,

395
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: the radio waves power the remote. Now there's no batteries,

396
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: like I said, so I don't really know how that

397
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: even does that. But you don't need to replace the

398
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: batteries in this remote ever. And it also has Wi

399
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: Fi as well, so maybe if you're if your Wi

400
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: Fi signal is not that good, it defaults or it

401
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: goes back to the solar power and if your solar's

402
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: not so good, maybe it uses the Wi Fi. But

403
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: the bottom line is that what a cool thing. And

404
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: this is a remote that's I guess packaged with some

405
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: of their TVs in twenty twenty two or twenty twenty three.

406
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: So Samsung says that the remote could prevent ninety nine

407
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 1: million triple A batteries from going into a landfill over

408
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: the next seven years. That was the original remote, So

409
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: now this one is even better, so it says according

410
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 1: to this new Scientist article I'm looking at, it can

411
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 1: capture the Wi Fi signals from a distance of up

412
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: to forty meters, which means it can charge even in

413
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: dark rooms. So forty meters that seems like a really

414
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: really far Yeah, that's a hundred feet one hundred and

415
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: thirty one feet, So even if your router is really

416
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: far away, you can still you can still harvest that energy.

417
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: Pretty wild. Okay, next question, you're rich. Unfortunately, I have

418
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: made a mess of my photos and find myself determined

419
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 1: to straighten it out. This is my future gift to

420
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 1: my grandchildren, a pictorial history of our family. My goal

421
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: by a photo backup device that will hold my thousands

422
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,479
Speaker 1: of photos. Transfer all my photos with the date they

423
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: were taken from numerous drives, clouds, phones, etc. To this

424
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 1: backup device. If possible, use a program to find and

425
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: separate duplicate photos, build a photo library for my daughter

426
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: and grandchildren. My question, what photo backup device is best

427
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: to invest? In to save my numerous photos on is

428
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: there a way to embed the date on the photo

429
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: that was taken on the photo? I'm sixty six confused

430
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: by technology, especially saving pictures chronologically and not duplicating them

431
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: in iCloud, Google, et cetera. It's a nightmare for me. Please,

432
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: I'm in desperate need of help and asking for your

433
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: professional advice. Greatly appreciate any recommendations. Thank you. Happy New Year, Catherine. Catherine,

434
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: your issue is one that is shared by so many

435
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: people out there, and it's actually sad that this issue

436
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 1: has not been solved and I don't understand it. I

437
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: really don't like it should be solved. It should be easier.

438
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: There's a couple of things. So there was a product

439
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 1: that was pretty cool, but I think they I don't

440
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: think they let me see if they still have it

441
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: for sale. Oh, it's still for sale. Okay. So the

442
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: product that I probably recommend for you is called eb Ibi,

443
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: and this is from sand Disc. It's kind of like

444
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: a almost like your own personal cloud, but for photos

445
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: and your videos. So you get a terabyte of storage

446
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: for ninety bucks, which holds two hundred and fifty thousand photos.

447
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: That's one thing you can do. And this has like

448
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: this has like USB in the back, so you can

449
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: stick in you know, like a USB drive and it'll

450
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: it will take the pictures off of there. You can

451
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: install the app on your phone, it'll take the pictures

452
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: from there. It used to import pictures from Google Photos,

453
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: but Google Photos has since turned off any sort of

454
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: outside access to Google Photos, which really really bugs me.

455
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: And so you can't do that and Google Photos there's

456
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: no easy way. So I'll be honest, I think that

457
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: your project is I see you know stand that you're

458
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: sixty six and you say your tech challenge, But I

459
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: think it's a project that is nearly impossible for almost

460
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: anyone without spending hours upon hours. Now, maybe if you

461
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: have the time, you can do it. But I'm I'm

462
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,479
Speaker 1: a tech professional, and I'm telling you my photo collection

463
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: is pretty much a mess. I dump everything in Google

464
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: Photos and just hope that one day Google will come

465
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: out with a one click, magic fixed button and say,

466
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: can we fix all of your pictures. We're gonna get

467
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: rid of the duplicates, any of the blurry ones, any

468
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: of this any that they've They've made strides towards doing that,

469
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: but it's still not completely there. Like Google Photos, if

470
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: you drag in the same picture twice, it will have

471
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: the intelligence to not import it twice, but only if

472
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: it's pretty much identical. If it's a version of that picture,

473
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you cropped it, or you made it

474
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 1: smaller or you you know, the resolutions different, it will

475
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: still import. You'll still end up with. Like for me,

476
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 1: for instance, I've got all these scanned pictures and I

477
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,959
Speaker 1: don't want to lose them, so I've got like more

478
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: ultiple multiple copies of them on my Google Cloud. So

479
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: it's one of those things that it's it's just a problem.

480
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: It's not easy, and it's just it's that's just the

481
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: reality of it. So what I would recommend, Okay, so

482
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: I would recommend maybe do the sand disc thing, maybe

483
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: do the hard drive thing. But I think that Google

484
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: Photos is probably going to be the easiest to sort

485
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: of upload everything in because you can drag and drop

486
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 1: all your stuff. I like the web interface of Google

487
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: Photos because you can just drag and drop stuff in

488
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: and when you drag and drop stuff in, it will

489
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: upload it, and it will also it will also sort

490
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: through the duplicates and not put those in again. So

491
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: you know, just get all your drives, get all your stuff,

492
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: put them on your your computer, and then just drag

493
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: them in or in. The beauty is it does exactly

494
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: what you're saying. You want to put it all in

495
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: chronological order. So your pictures should have metadata in them

496
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: that contains the date, and so that's how the Google

497
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: Photo is going to know how to put them in order.

498
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: And then when you're done with all that and everything's in,

499
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: you can go through Google Photos. What I kind of

500
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: do is just like spot check, Like I'll go to

501
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: like a month and I'll just kind of like look

502
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: through all delete photos I don't need. I'll rotate some

503
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: of them. I will, you know, if I see a

504
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: couple that are duplicates in there, snuck in, I will

505
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: get rid of. You know, if I took two or

506
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: three pictures of the same thing, I'll get rid of

507
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: some of those. So you can go through and kind

508
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: of just like clean it up. But the reality is,

509
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: I think that maybe you're never gonna have a perfect

510
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: photo collection. You just really aren't, like unless unless you

511
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: spend hours a day on this thing, it's never gonna

512
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: be perfect. So I would say get them all in

513
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: one place, and yes, get them in order, and I

514
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: think that's the best you're gonna do. So if you want,

515
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 1: if you have Amazon and you want to use that

516
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: for free, you can also use Amazon to upload. If

517
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: you have Amazon Prime, you can use that to upload

518
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: your pictures in there, and that's completely free. Google there

519
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 1: will be a charge if you're over fifteen gigabytes of photos.

520
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: So I hope that helps. I don't think I answered everything,

521
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: but it's really it's a tough thing and I wish

522
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 1: I had the perfect answer. I really don't. You know,

523
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: there's I could recommend, if you are super techy, something

524
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: like a network attached storage drive, but that's way too complicated.

525
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: So I really think that this is a problem that

526
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: so many people have. I'm not sure that there's a

527
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: really good solution. And there's the reason why there's not

528
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: a good solution is because there's too many people that

529
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: are up against you, you know, like Google, for some

530
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: reason I don't understand, just doesn't want to like help you.

531
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: I don't know, export your pictures once they're in Google.

532
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: I mean you can, but again it's not that easy.

533
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: Like I'd like to sync them to an external drive.

534
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: That would be So in an ideal world, Catherine, what

535
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: I'd recommend is throw all your pictures in Google and

536
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: then synk them to an external drive and boom. You

537
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: can hand that external drive over to your niece or

538
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: your you know, your grandchildren when you decide to do that,

539
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 1: and they have all the pictures. But again it's it's

540
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: a little more complicated than that, and uh, just a

541
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: little little tricky, but good question, thanks for asking. All right, So,

542
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: at CS, I saw a robot and this robot is

543
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 1: Amika or is it Amica? I keep now, I keep

544
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: messing up the name. I think it's Oh gosh, the

545
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: robot is, Oh my gosh, where is the robot? I

546
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta look up this robot again because I

547
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: had it and then I had the pronunciation, and I've

548
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: said it a hundred times today and I still can't

549
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: seem to remember what it is. Amica, No Amiica, Amika,

550
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: am Amica anyway, A M E. C A. I said

551
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: it in my videos a bunch of times because the

552
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: people from the UK that created this were there. But

553
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 1: this robot is pretty wild, so kind of weird. It's

554
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: gone viral, and yes, it continues to go viral. At CES.

555
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: But it's this big robot that looks very humanoid. When

556
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: you talk to it, it talks back. It's it's got

557
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: these expressions that are very lifelike. It's got these eyes

558
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: that just I mean, it's it's the most realistic robot

559
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 1: that I've ever seen. It also has very fluid movements

560
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 1: as well, doesn't it doesn't move from its spot, but

561
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: the way it's arms move are very very human like.

562
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: So all in all, this is probably the most impressive

563
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: robot humanoid that I've ever seen. And it's kind of

564
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: scary because if this thing, you know, if you ever

565
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 1: woke up in the middle of the night and saw

566
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: this thing standing in your in your bedroom, you would

567
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: be scared because you just wouldn't really know what's going

568
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: on because you'd be like, uh, can I help you,

569
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 1: and I don't know what would happen after that, I'd

570
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: probably be game over. So they assured me that that's

571
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: not gonna happen with this robot because they are friendly

572
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 1: and they're not programmed to murder us. So that's a

573
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 1: good thing. But with that said, this robot is pretty amazing.

574
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: Like if you put your hand in this robot's face,

575
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: it moves backwards in such a fluid motion like you

576
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: would if a human put a human you know, if

577
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: another human put their hand in your face, it would

578
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: be the same exact movement. I mean this, the way

579
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: they program this thing is pretty phenomenal. The thing that

580
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: I was unsure about. Okay, they say that this thing

581
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: has AI, but I don't know because you can ask

582
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: any sort of question, and it was answering questions. I

583
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: am ninety nine point nine percent sure that they had

584
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: a voice performer behind the booth that was answering the questions,

585
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: because there's no way that this robot would be able

586
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: to come up with the answers in the way it

587
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: did and answers to anything. You know, it was making

588
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: little quips, it was funny, it was this, It was

589
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: you know. So it's definitely one of those things where

590
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: and I asked them, I said, hey, what's the deal

591
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: with this robot? Is it real? Is it AI that's

592
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: answering this or is it a person? And they said, well,

593
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: it can be programmed both ways. Well what's the way

594
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: we're seeing here? And he's like, well, you tell me.

595
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: So they wouldn't really tell me, but I think that

596
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: there was definitely someone back there. But this is one

597
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: of those things you kind of have to watch the video.

598
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: I can talk about it forever, but it's it's not

599
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: that exciting to talk about. It's more exciting to see

600
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: and just experience. It's on my Facebook page, and or

601
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: did I put on my YouTube as well? And I

602
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: think on my Instagram, oh and on my Twitter, so

603
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: I guess I put it everywhere. But it's just one

604
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: of those things that just had such a crowd of

605
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: people because it's so weird. It's like exactly how you'd

606
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: imagine a humanoid robot would look and act, and you know,

607
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: it's just one of those weird things. So I don't know,

608
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: it's cool. It's just you got to watch the video

609
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,959
Speaker 1: and see what it's all about. So that's the company,

610
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,719
Speaker 1: by the way, is what is it? Engineered Arts? And

611
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: it's an interesting name because the guy was very specific

612
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: about how it's a mixture of engineering and arts, so

613
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: it's kind of like that's the difference. It's not just

614
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: a robot which is engineered, it's actually a work of

615
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: art as well, because it is you know, it's a

616
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: little sleight of hand with the person maybe speaking behind

617
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: and also just the way it looks is very artistic

618
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: because they've really paid attention to the emotions and everything

619
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: that it looks like. So all right, next question, Sherry says, congratulations.

620
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: I love your show. You get me knowledge that I

621
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: can't get anywhere else. Thank you so much, Sherry. Oh okay,

622
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: this is this must have been. I got a whole

623
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: bunch of emails and messages from people saying congratulations, Oh

624
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: my gosh, thank you for all your work. Oh god,

625
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, what did did Katla like let me

626
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: go on air and not tell me and say thank

627
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: you rich for all of your your time and service.

628
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: We appreciate your hard work, like over my vacation. I

629
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: just didn't know because I wasn't watching. No, that's not

630
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: what happened. They actually played apparently one of my ten

631
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,959
Speaker 1: year and might not one of my but my ten

632
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: year anniversary video, which we did, I think over the summer,

633
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: and so I guess they replayed that when I was off.

634
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: They played a whole bunch of stories when I was

635
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: off on my vacation for the holidays, the kind of

636
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: the best of And so I was just getting all

637
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: these emails from people like for stories that you know,

638
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: aired like six months ago or three months ago, and

639
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, what's going on, And then it occurred

640
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,239
Speaker 1: to me. I'm like, oh, they must be running my

641
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: pack my pieces and also the ten year anniversary, So Sherry,

642
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,239
Speaker 1: thank you. I do appreciate it. And you know what,

643
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: I gotta say. The it's so weird because being at

644
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,239
Speaker 1: a show like this at CS, like, you know, I'm

645
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: pretty autonomous with my job, Like I go to my

646
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,719
Speaker 1: studio and then I go on my shoots and then

647
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: I go home, and so it's not like I'm interacting

648
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: with a lot of people in public all the time.

649
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: But it's funny because when I'm out and about, a

650
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: lot of people do come up and you know, say like, hey,

651
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: rich I see on TV. Especially here at CES. Obviously

652
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: this is a room full of you know, the tech

653
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: your people, so they kind of just have a knowledge

654
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: of me. But it's really, you know, it's it's just

655
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: a testament to the power of television number one, the

656
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: power of social media number two, and also the fact

657
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: that you know, I've just sort of been around for

658
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: a while. So people like, oh, yeah, what rich on

659
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: tech tech guy, right, And I'm like, yeah, that's something

660
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: like that. And so anyway, it's it's an honor when

661
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: people say, you know that they like what I'm doing,

662
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: because it really means a lot. Because I put a

663
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: lot of thought into the pieces that I put on TV,

664
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: the way that I write them, the way that they air.

665
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: I'm very detail oriented and none of it is by mistake.

666
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: Like it's all very much like figured out, Like I

667
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: figure out what do I think people need to know

668
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: about this gadget? What do people need to know about

669
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: in general? A lot of times I don't want to,

670
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: you know, bag on the tech press, but like I

671
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: call it the the like the gimme, gimmey, gimmey. It's

672
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: like one person writes something and make or makes an

673
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: observation and next thing you know, it's everywhere. Right, It's

674
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: just like it's reblogged, it's re tweeted, it's it's everywhere,

675
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: and like that. A lot of times some of those

676
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: things are just sort of outrageous, Like it's a it's

677
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: a tiny feature that nobody's really gonna use, but it's

678
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: like sort of outrageous, so people are gonna click on

679
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: it and read about it, and then they think that

680
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: their privacy is at risk and all this stuff, and

681
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: so you know, I take a much more steady approach

682
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: to what I think people should know. Like I don't

683
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: I don't really dabble in all the kind of the

684
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: garbage e stuff that it's just like easy for clicks,

685
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: but like, what do you really need to know? Like

686
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: what do you really need to know about your gadgets?

687
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: The privacy stuff is very important? What do you need

688
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: to know about that? So I really try to stick to,

689
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: you know, the facts and try not to get too much.

690
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: Like this whole thing with CES, it just really bugs

691
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: me that so many people are knocking it and you know,

692
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 1: saying how terrible it is that they're holding it when

693
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: they're not here. I mean, I'll be honest, like, yes,

694
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: it's there's been a lot of interaction with people, and

695
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: I'm not in the clear just yet. I mean, you know,

696
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: I could come down with something in the next week.

697
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: But the reality is I never felt like, oh my gosh,

698
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: I can't believe what I did. I this decision I

699
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: made to come here was not very smart. Like, no,

700
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: I have my mask on, I'm not shaking hands with people,

701
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: I'm not hugging people. I'm not, you know, it's it's

702
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: a very like it feels like a very safe experience,

703
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: as safe as you can be in a pandemic that's

704
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 1: lasted two years. So I'm you know, and of course

705
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm protecting myself. I mean, I'm sitting here, you know.

706
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: Of course I've all the boosters and all that stuff,

707
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: but like, you know, the way I'm eating, the way

708
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: I'm drinking, the way I'm hydrating, like all this stuff,

709
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: taking my vitamin. So I'm trying to make sure that

710
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: I'm putting my best body forward so that i can

711
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: set myself up for success in this situation. And I

712
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: understand that not everyone's going to do that, and so

713
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 1: there are going to be you know, some some issues

714
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: and some people that perhaps get sick. But just just

715
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: say that CS is being you know, not you know,

716
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: just the way that people knocked it was just really

717
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: kind of bugging me because I was here and it

718
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: was actually an amazing experience, Like I really like, I

719
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: think I'll remember this CES because it's so unique and

720
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,240
Speaker 1: it's so interesting that it did happen during a pandemic

721
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 1: and it's you know, I've been to big events during

722
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: the pandemic. And I've been to some concerts and things,

723
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 1: and this was definitely a big event. But it was

724
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 1: really fascinating to see how you do a show this

725
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: large and this hands on when you know it's it's

726
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 1: very tricky. It's a very delicate situation. So all right,

727
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 1: did I go off enough on that? I think I did. Okay,

728
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 1: let's talk about Sony. At the show here, they showed

729
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: off their vision S concept cars. So they've got two

730
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: of them. One is a it's called the S. One

731
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: one is the S too once a sedan. One's an suv.

732
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: And I'll be honest, just straight up, they look like

733
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: a mixture of a Tesla a Porsche. And what's the

734
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,280
Speaker 1: third one. It's really just like a Tesla, Porsche and

735
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 1: maybe a tiny yeah, just just those two things. Maybe

736
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: an Audi a little tiny bit, but it's just the

737
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: you know, again, it's a slick looking car. And my

738
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: problem with these concept cars, and I'm not a car guy,

739
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: so I can't like say, maybe that's just how it starts.

740
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: You gotta start with the concept. I get it, but

741
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 1: there's just so many. There are a dime a dozen.

742
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: You see these concept cars, They're amazing they look so cool,

743
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: and then it's like, well they come to fruition and

744
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: it's like half the features that made it like this car,

745
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: this Sony car looks like it's set up for autonomous driving. Now.

746
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 1: I don't know how far Sony is along with the

747
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: autonomous stuff, but you know, you know, Tesla, which is

748
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: maybe regarded as the best, still has a ways to

749
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: go with a lot of this autonomous driving stuff. And

750
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: so these cars they look cool. I mean they literally

751
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: look like a Tesla. I hate to say, but it's

752
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: kind of like a slicker looking Tesla. But again, it's

753
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: a concept. So you get really excited. Sony is starting

754
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: this new division called Sony Mobility, and it makes sense.

755
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Sony is an electronics company. Why not make

756
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: a car, And I mean they know a couple things

757
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: about electronics and batteries and components, and I mean they

758
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 1: probably have half the components that are inside these cars.

759
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: They probably have them that they've worked on for other things,

760
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's a display, whether it's a light,

761
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: whether it's a stereo system. I mean, if you think

762
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 1: about it, it does make a lot of sense that

763
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: Sony would produce a car. Now, it also makes a

764
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: lot of sense at Apple would produce a car because

765
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: Apple has you know, they've they've got a lot of

766
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: experience with components as well, and electronics and car play

767
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: and all this other stuff and design. I mean, who's

768
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: better at design than Apple? So it just makes sense

769
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: that we're gonna see this second sort of I don't

770
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: know what you call it, but it's like it's this

771
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 1: new new world of elef cars. And they're not just

772
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: you know, not just these historic companies. It's the big

773
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: companies that are the sorry, the startups that are really

774
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: doing a great job. And and you know, someone challenged me.

775
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: They said, oh, well that Ford F one fifty lightning

776
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:16,240
Speaker 1: looks really good. And there's a big story John Reddinger,

777
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 1: who does He started Techno Buffalo. He's since sold it,

778
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 1: but you know, he's very famous on YouTube and sort

779
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: of a tech entrepreneur. He had a big tweet thing

780
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: about he went in to buy the Mercedes electric car

781
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: the I think it's called the EQ something, and you know,

782
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 1: he goes in, he had his deposit down and the

783
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: dealer said, okay, well it's a fifty thousand dollars markup

784
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: on this car. What he said, oh, come on, he's like,

785
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: and they're like, well, you know, it's very it's very

786
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: in demand. And I heard the same story about the

787
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: Ford Mock. In fact, my wife loved the Ford Machi Mustang,

788
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 1: the electric Mustang, and I said, I'm not even going

789
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: to look at it. I'm not even considering it. I'll

790
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 1: be honest. And here's why I said, I'm not dealing

791
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: with a dealer. I'm not dealing with a dealer putting

792
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: a ten thousand dollars search charge on this car just

793
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: because it's popular. It's like almost everything that's wrong with

794
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: the system when it comes to like trying to do

795
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: something new and cool and different, you know, and it's

796
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,919
Speaker 1: just it just made no sense. And so when people

797
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 1: challenge me and they say, well, you know, it's just

798
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: a matter of time until the historic car companies catch

799
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: up to the new age electric car companies, and I'm like,

800
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, because personally, I'm not buying a car

801
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: the old way anymore. I'm just not. I bought my

802
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: Tesla fully online, one hundred percent. I didn't have to

803
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: talk to anyone. I didn't have to negotiate with anyone.

804
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 1: I did it all online. And they delivered it to

805
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: my house and they walked away. They didn't even say anything.

806
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: They just literally I waved to the guy and he

807
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 1: walked away. And that now, that may be a foreign

808
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: concept for a lot of people and say, no way,

809
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. I want to do

810
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: the dealer system. I want to do but I don't

811
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: know the dealer system to me, my experience has not

812
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 1: been very good. Now. The last couple of cars I will,

813
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: I have purchased a couple of them with the same

814
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: person and that actually went a long way because I

815
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: had a relationship with her and it really, you know,

816
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 1: it made the process a lot easier. But other than that,

817
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 1: the other processes I've had have not been very nice.

818
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 1: And so it's one of these things where I'm just like, ugh,

819
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: like I'm not even considering. You know, this this Ford

820
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: f one fifty that everyone's so excited about. I mean,

821
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:25,439
Speaker 1: I don't know what's that going to be like when

822
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 1: when you know, these these MSRP searcharges come aboard. But anyway,

823
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 1: back to the Sony. It looks like a really nice car.

824
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: And the one thing I thought, there's so many screens inside,

825
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: so there's you know, obviously everyone gets a screen. Sony

826
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 1: has music, They've got you know, do they have a

827
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: streaming service? I don't know. I don't think they do yet,

828
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 1: which is weird. Why doesn't Sony have a streaming service? So,

829
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: but they also have a PlayStation console, so you can, sorry,

830
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: you can play video games on the PlayStation with a

831
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: PlayStation controller using a remote I guess connection to it.

832
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 1: But it's you know, it looks cool, it sounds cool,

833
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 1: and we're just gonna have to see, like what comes

834
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 1: of this. I mean, it's Sony's a big company, and

835
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: I think that they could pull this off. But in there,

836
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: I guess the road testing one of them already, which

837
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 1: is really cool. But when I look at the picture

838
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,240
Speaker 1: of these two cars, they just looked Tesla very tesla

839
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:23,359
Speaker 1: esk All right, next question, Hello Rich, Happy New Year.

840
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,280
Speaker 1: I'm looking for an app that really works in removing

841
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: those frustrating spam messages. I had Metro PCs and change

842
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: to T Mobile. Once I made that change, numerous spam

843
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: messages began at all times of the day and night.

844
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:40,280
Speaker 1: I contacted T Mobile. They suggested I download Google messaging app.

845
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 1: I did, but they continue I don't wish to change

846
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: my number. Please help Karina. All right, Karina, this is

847
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 1: definitely a problem. It happens to everyone, and I think

848
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 1: you know number one. I think that what T Mobile

849
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: said was right. I think that downloading the Google Messaging

850
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 1: app definitely helps, and so I would I would do

851
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: that and make sure you're using it. So if you're

852
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 1: on an Android, which it says sent for my Android,

853
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: make sure that you are actually using the Google Messages app.

854
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: It looks very similar to the Samsung Messaging app or

855
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: the Messages There's a lot of apps that look similar,

856
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: So make sure that when you open up that Google

857
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,919
Speaker 1: Messaging app, it is the one that you're opening that's

858
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: Google and it's not a different app, because these apps

859
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 1: can be tricky. And make sure that that's set is

860
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: your default messaging app. Typically, the first time you open

861
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: up Google Messages, it will say do you want this

862
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,359
Speaker 1: to be your default messaging app? So do that, make

863
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 1: sure you're using it, and then make sure you're turning

864
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 1: on the spam protection inside the app. There's a setting

865
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: that you have to turn on to make sure that

866
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: it's doing the spam protection. When you first set up,

867
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: it may ask you that in the flow you might

868
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: have said no. By accident, you might have just skipped

869
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,359
Speaker 1: over it. So make sure that you actually select that

870
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: option to have it go through those messages and it

871
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: uses I think AI on the phone to scan them

872
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: to do that. Now, with spam robo calls, you can

873
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 1: get an app and it will filter those out and

874
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: it does a decent job, but it's still those robo

875
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: calls get through. And with spam it's a little bit different.

876
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,760
Speaker 1: It's just a different system. It's a little bit trickier.

877
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: And what I find is that these spam messages come

878
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: and go in waves. So if you're getting slammed with

879
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: a bunch of spam texts, you know, it could have

880
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: been like I said earlier that you know your your

881
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: phone number is out there on the open web. It

882
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: was part of some sort of data breach and someone

883
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 1: gets ahold of these numbers and they immediately start texting them.

884
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: Or it could just be random. But the other thing

885
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: to know so you can write it out, you know,

886
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 1: if it's happening incessantly, yeah, it's a pain. But I

887
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 1: find that on my phone, I get a bunch of

888
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 1: spam texts one day or you know, a week, and

889
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I don't get them again for

890
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:47,359
Speaker 1: a while, and all of a sudden I get them again,

891
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 1: and then I don't get them. So the couple things

892
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: you want to do is make sure that you don't

893
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: reply or click the links in any of these messages.

894
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: That is the most important thing you can do. So

895
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: don't reply, don't click the links, and that way you

896
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: don't give them any indication that that's a good phone number,

897
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: that there's a live human behind you. Don't want to

898
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: do that. The other thing you don't want to do,

899
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: or you do want to do, is that if you know,

900
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,720
Speaker 1: if you're getting messages from any sort of legitimate service,

901
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,320
Speaker 1: like let's say you signed up for Sears appliance repair

902
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 1: at some point and they said, oh, do you want

903
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 1: us to text you when you're a repair man? Is

904
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: a repair person is close? And you say sure, and

905
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: now they keep texting you every once in a while, Hey,

906
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: we've got ten percent off any repairs. Give us a call,

907
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: and that's you know, some people might consider that spam,

908
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 1: but that's actually a legitimate message that you signed up for.

909
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: When you hand it over your phone number, it was

910
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: probably in tiny, tiny print that said hey, you agree

911
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 1: to let us text you a certain amount of times.

912
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: Now I feel like, you know, I don't. I'm pretty

913
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: liberal with my phone number, Like I give it out

914
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: to a lot of things. I know some people keep

915
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 1: it private. I should probably keep it more private, but

916
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: I you know, I'm kind of like, eh, what are

917
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: you gonna do? You know, So I sign up for

918
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:00,839
Speaker 1: a lot of those things, A lot of these things

919
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: they want you to sign up for, you know, if

920
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: you want like a coupon code or something, they want

921
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 1: to text you because they getting that text number is

922
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: really good because people look at their texts. They it's

923
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:10,720
Speaker 1: not like an email where it can just go into

924
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,240
Speaker 1: you know, a spam or you can just delete it quickly.

925
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 1: Like texts, you know, they wring your phone and you

926
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: see them and you kind of react to them immediately

927
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: versus email. So so text is very uh, it's coveted,

928
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 1: you know, for marketing. But my point is if you

929
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: have signed up for some of these text messages from

930
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: legitimate companies, those you can go through and type stop

931
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: to and send that as a message and they should

932
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 1: take you off their list. So if it's a legitimate

933
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 1: company like best Buy or you know, T Mobile, or

934
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,240
Speaker 1: maybe not tea Mobile because that's your if that's your carrier,

935
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: but you know like a best Buy or a Seers

936
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 1: or anything, you know, a hotel that you stayed at.

937
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: You can just you can any message you get from

938
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: them at any time, just reply stop and you should

939
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: get an automated text back that says, Okay, you've been

940
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 1: taking off our list, no more messages from us. So

941
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: that's what you can do in that and hopefully with

942
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: a combination of those two things, along with the Google

943
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: Messages app, you should be able to cut down on

944
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: some of your spam, at least for the time being.

945
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: All Right, I saw so many gadgets this week, Like

946
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 1: when I tell you so many gadgets, Like I can't

947
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 1: I cannot believe how many things I recorded on my phone,

948
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 1: Like I don't know. I think I have stories for

949
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 1: the rest of the year with all the gadgets I saw.

950
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I just saw so many. So it's like

951
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 1: I can't talk about all of them because there's just

952
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 1: too many. I've been posting them to my Instagram at

953
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. But the one that really stands out

954
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 1: that I think they're gonna sell a lot of is

955
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 1: this Chipolo. It's called the Chipolo card spot and this

956
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 1: is a credit card sized tracker and looking you know,

957
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: so you know what you're familiar with, the air tag.

958
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: This is pretty much a version of the air tag

959
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 1: that slips into your wallet. So it's about two credit

960
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:57,280
Speaker 1: cards thick. And before you say, rich, give me a break,

961
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,800
Speaker 1: Tile has that. Tiles had the credit card racking device

962
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 1: for years. I have one in my wallet right now.

963
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 1: Yes they do. But here's the difference. Tile does not

964
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 1: use Apple's find my network and Chipolo does. And what

965
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: does that mean. It means that when you lose your wallet,

966
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: chances are you're probably gonna locate it. Now, I can't

967
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: voucher the cash that might may or may not still

968
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 1: be inside, but you may be able to locate your

969
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 1: wallet because chances are the find my network is going

970
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: to locate this Chipolo device. So this Chipolo device doesn't

971
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: have GPS inside, but it has a Bluetooth beacon. And

972
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 1: how this works is that the Bluetooth beacon, if your

973
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: phone is nearby, it just talks directly to your phone.

974
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: And if you're looking for your Chipolo wallet, you know,

975
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 1: your wallet with a Chipolo inside, you just ring the

976
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:48,280
Speaker 1: sound and it will there's a there's a little speaker

977
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 1: on the card. Actually it's pretty loud and it will

978
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: it will chirp up to you know. It's like I

979
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,760
Speaker 1: think one hundred and five decibels, so it's a pretty

980
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 1: loud chirp. So hopefully if you know you lose your

981
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: wallet in your house, like where did I put that?

982
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: You just press the button on your phone in the

983
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: Apple Find My app and you say play sound, and

984
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: it will play the sound on the chipolo. And that's

985
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 1: if you're nearby. You know, there's a certain range you

986
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 1: have to be in for that to work, so you'd

987
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 1: have to walk around your house and kind of do that.

988
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: The other way is that if if your wallet is

989
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,479
Speaker 1: disconnected from you, like let's say you put your wallet

990
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: on the table at the restaurant, you get up and

991
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:25,879
Speaker 1: you go to the bathroom, or you just leave it there.

992
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: When you leave the restaurant, you'll get a notification from

993
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: apples Find My that says, hey, you left your wallet behind,

994
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 1: And that's like sort of a media which is really nice.

995
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 1: I get these notifications for my AirPods when I leave

996
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 1: them behind in my back, like if I if I

997
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: walk out of my you know whatever, you just leave behind,

998
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: you get a little notification that says, hey, you left

999
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 1: your air pods behind, So that will happen, and so

1000
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 1: that's a great feature. And the other way you can

1001
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 1: do it is if you're far away, like let's say

1002
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 1: you drop this thing and you just keep walking and

1003
00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 1: you don't realize that it's disconnected from you. Then that's

1004
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 1: when you tap into the power of Apples find my

1005
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 1: network and so you say, locate my item, and it

1006
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:09,320
Speaker 1: will basically all the phones that are nearby the item

1007
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 1: when it sees when that phone sort of scans the

1008
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: area for any Bluetooth devices, it will see this Bluetooth

1009
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,919
Speaker 1: device and it will say, oh, Bluetooth device five nine

1010
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: four seven two nine two two two seven three is

1011
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: right here. Let me send that location to Apples servers

1012
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: and then that location and then your phone says, oh, hey,

1013
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: I'm checking in on five seven nine two two two

1014
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 1: seven three whatever. Do you have any location updates? And

1015
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,720
Speaker 1: they say, sure, here's here's the location, and it's all encrypted.

1016
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 1: It's all secure. Apple says, even they can't see the

1017
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 1: location of these things if they wanted to. So, but

1018
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 1: that's how it works, and so now you can go

1019
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: navigate to that area where your wallet is and you

1020
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 1: can find it. So this is thirty five dollars. I

1021
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 1: have a feeling they're going to sell a ton of these,

1022
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 1: because it's pretty much I think the first wallet sized

1023
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 1: tracker that works with Apples find My. There's and a

1024
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:03,879
Speaker 1: lot of when find My came out, So Apple used

1025
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: to reserve find my for themselves, and they opened up

1026
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 1: that network to anyone that wants to tap into it.

1027
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:12,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's obviously restrictions on how you can use

1028
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:16,720
Speaker 1: it and all this good stuff. But like Chipolo typically

1029
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 1: would be seen as a competitor to Apple with their

1030
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 1: tracking devices, because once Apple came out with the air tag,

1031
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: it's like, oh now Chipolo is a you know, their

1032
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 1: product was a sort of an air tag many years ago.

1033
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: In fact, I remember covering Chipolo. This is a good

1034
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,240
Speaker 1: example of things that I said. They happen at CES

1035
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: and they don't come along until years. So I covered Chipolo,

1036
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 1: no joke, probably eight years ago at CS, and back

1037
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: then it was such you know, it was like, okay, well,

1038
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,280
Speaker 1: Tile's the big one. Why would you ever go at Chipolo?

1039
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 1: And I said, well, I had these features. Basically, I

1040
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: think the feature that was better was that the battery

1041
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: was user replaceable, and so I kind of presented it

1042
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 1: on TV. But it wasn't that sexy. It's not that exciting.

1043
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, here's a tracker. Everyone's like, well, how's

1044
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 1: it better than Tile? Well, okay, you got to replaceable battery.

1045
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 1: Big deal, it's not. The finding network is never going

1046
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,320
Speaker 1: to be as big because it's not just the product

1047
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 1: isn't as popular. So now when Apple came out with

1048
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 1: find My and the fact that Chippolo can tap into

1049
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: that network, that's a pretty big deal. Now Tyle is

1050
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:19,240
Speaker 1: doing its own thing where they're tapping into Amazon sidewalk network,

1051
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 1: which we haven't really heard much about, so we're not

1052
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: sure how big that is. And then they're also tapping

1053
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 1: into they were purchased by Life three sixty, which is

1054
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 1: installed on like thirty million phones, so that's going to

1055
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 1: really expand their finding network. So the good news is

1056
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 1: for consumers, no matter what you choose, the chances of

1057
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:39,360
Speaker 1: finding these little devices are better than ever before. And

1058
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 1: so I've got these air tags on my stuff. They're great,

1059
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: they're really fantastic, but I'm I don't know if I'm

1060
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 1: gonna put this Chipolo on my wallet, because my wallet

1061
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: is very minimalistic and so I actually don't have room

1062
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 1: for this in my wallet. But I do like the

1063
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 1: idea of having a tracker in my wallet, so I

1064
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 1: might have to I might have to ditch one of

1065
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,880
Speaker 1: my cards in my wallet to fit this thing in there,

1066
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 1: because my wallet can literally only hold like one, two, three,

1067
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 1: four cards. So I've got to figure out how I'm

1068
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: gonna get this thing in there anyway. Chipolo card Spot,

1069
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 1: the I mentioned the battery situation. You cannot replace the

1070
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 1: battery on this device. It's so thin, there's no way

1071
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 1: you'd be able to do it. I'm not sure. There

1072
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 1: must be using a proprietary battery, but you can send

1073
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: it back in and get a new one. I think

1074
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: for like fifty percent less. The battery will lasts about

1075
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 1: two years. So there you have it, Chippolo card Spot.

1076
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:32,319
Speaker 1: You heard it here. First thirty five dollars available in February. Yeah,

1077
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get one just to check it out and

1078
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 1: just to have it. Definitely get one for my wife's

1079
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:43,919
Speaker 1: wallet for sure. Oh Am, I supposed to have another question.

1080
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 1: Here we go, Penny says hey, Rich, Happy New Year.

1081
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 1: Can you check out the upsea warranty and let us

1082
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 1: know if it's worth the purchase for your cell phone

1083
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 1: instead of going through the cell phone carrier. Thank you

1084
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 1: in advance, Penny, Penny, good, good question. I never really

1085
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:04,240
Speaker 1: favor the warranty sold by carriers because they're usually pretty

1086
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:09,400
Speaker 1: expensive and you can sometimes get cheaper warranties through places

1087
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:12,359
Speaker 1: like Square Trade. So Square Trade is now owned by

1088
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:18,879
Speaker 1: all State, I believe, and so you know, they're if

1089
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 1: kind of all Square Trade was my go to for

1090
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 1: a long time. I really liked them because they they

1091
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 1: were just they were excellent and I met them. You know,

1092
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 1: whenever I meet with a company, I just like them

1093
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 1: better because I have an understanding of like how they

1094
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 1: run the company, who they are, the people behind the company,

1095
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 1: and so it just helps me like put a face

1096
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: to the name and really know that like there are

1097
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:42,879
Speaker 1: like what makes them, you know click. So Square Trade

1098
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 1: is one to check out the trick with it Square

1099
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 1: Trade versus like the carrier ones. It may be cheaper,

1100
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,919
Speaker 1: but typically you have to have your phone to get

1101
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 1: a replacement. So if you lost your phone or if

1102
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:55,799
Speaker 1: it's stolen, they typically don't replace that. And that's the

1103
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 1: main question you need to ask when you get one

1104
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 1: of these warranties is do they replace your phone if

1105
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 1: it's lost or stolen. Most of the carrier plans do

1106
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:06,719
Speaker 1: have that provision because they're more expensive, but some of

1107
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 1: these third party plans may not. So even with Upse,

1108
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:11,840
Speaker 1: I'm not really I don't really know much about Upsy,

1109
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 1: to be honest, and so just looking at their website

1110
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 1: taking a look, I mean, it looks legitimate, says the

1111
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 1: Smarter Way to warranty, and it's a nice website. It

1112
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 1: looks like they've got warranties for all kinds of stuff

1113
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 1: they do, smartphones, laptops, tablets, appliances. It looks like they

1114
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 1: cover everything. So it's much much broader. I think Square

1115
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 1: Trade does as well. But the other one that I

1116
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 1: like is Ashurian, so they have warranties as well, so

1117
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 1: I would check into that one. So Assurian I know,

1118
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:43,399
Speaker 1: and I know Square Trade, so I would check those

1119
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 1: two Upsey just kind of see what the deal is

1120
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 1: with Upsey, and again see see what the provision is

1121
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 1: if you lose your phone. The other main thing I

1122
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 1: want to mention is that with a Shurian if you

1123
00:54:55,920 --> 00:55:00,320
Speaker 1: have if you have that going on, a Shurian allows

1124
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:02,319
Speaker 1: you to take your phone to the U Break I

1125
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 1: Fix stores and so that's a really nice thing where

1126
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:08,840
Speaker 1: you have a physical location to take your phone to

1127
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 1: the store. So that's a nice thing as well. All right,

1128
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:14,879
Speaker 1: let's see, do we have one more story before we go?

1129
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mentioned Ring. Okay, let's talk about this

1130
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 1: before I go. So Ring alarm system. I've been tempted

1131
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:23,239
Speaker 1: to switch to this for a long time because I

1132
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:25,359
Speaker 1: love what Ring is doing and I feel like it's

1133
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: a great value because their plan is like ten bucks

1134
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 1: a month and so it's a really good value. I

1135
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:31,959
Speaker 1: don't know if it's I hope it's still ten dollars

1136
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,800
Speaker 1: a month. But anyway, Ring came out with a glass

1137
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:37,839
Speaker 1: break sensor. So this was the main sensor that they

1138
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 1: did not have that the other ones do, and so

1139
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 1: they had like a workaround where you can use the

1140
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 1: A word you know that Amazon assistant to use your

1141
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,840
Speaker 1: echo speaker to monitor for glass break. But it wasn't

1142
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:55,280
Speaker 1: really a slick enough solution for me. So anyway, glass

1143
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 1: break sensor coming from Ring on February sixteenth, I think

1144
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 1: it says, and it's forty bucks. So two pack is

1145
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 1: seventy and now you can finally have a complete ring

1146
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 1: security system for your house that does all the stuff

1147
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 1: that the other security systems do that I think was

1148
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:16,840
Speaker 1: the missing piece to a really really good security system.

1149
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 1: So I'm going to look into switching to that. Perhaps. Oh,

1150
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:25,240
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. It's already the end of the show.

1151
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 1: Still a lot of questions. That's gonna do it for
