WEBVTT - From CES 2022 in Las Vegas 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:13.280 What it's like to be at CS twenty twenty two 0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:18.919 in Las Vegas in person, BMW's color changing car, the 0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:24.639 ring alarm system gets legitimate. Finally, plus your tech questions answered. 0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:27.319 What is going on? I'm Rich Jamiro and this is 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:29.520 Rich on Tech, the podcast where I talk about the 0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:32.440 tech stuff I think you should know about. It's also 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:35.519 the place where I answer the questions you send me. 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:39.640 I'm the tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles, 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:43.600 coming to you today from CEES twenty twenty two in 0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:47.360 Las Vegas. I love my setup in this hotel room 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:51.080 because I've got this bar, and no it's not stocked 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.519 with cocktails. It's stocked with all the equipment I need 0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:56.400 to do this podcast. So I've got this standing desk, 0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.720 I've got the board, my computer, my little timer. I 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:01.480 mean this is better than my at home set up 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:04.839 for the podcast. So welcome to a New Year twenty 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:10.440 twenty two. I hope you had a great holiday get together. Well, 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:13.400 I mean ours were derailed, so I'm sure many others were, 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:15.800 so we made the best of it. It was definitely 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:19.000 an interesting holiday season, that's for sure. I think New 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:22.640 Year's let's see Christmas Eve was impacted, Christmas Day was impacted, 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:26.960 and New Year's Eve were all impacted by COVID. Not 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:30.880 anyone in my family, thankfully, but lots of friends and family. 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:35.039 So they're all doing okay, which is nice. But Man 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:37.920 Man Man really just kind of took its toll on 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:42.600 so many people's plans and things like that. So I 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:44.600 hope you're doing well. It's twenty twenty two, it's a 0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:47.320 new year. I don't really do a lot of resolutions. 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:50.320 The show, as you can see, doesn't feel or sound 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:53.280 much different. Although you know, when I was little, when 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.920 I was little, when I was younger, and you know, 0:01:56.160 --> 0:02:00.120 my favorite thing about any sort of like media, know, 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:01.880 like if I watched like a TV show or something, 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:03.680 was always when they got like a new set or 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:06.080 like new music or like a new look for the graphics. 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:09.000 Like I always thought that was so cool. But we've 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:12.280 got none of that. There's absolutely Oh the music, look 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:14.880 at this, the music is still going there. You go, 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:17.760 same old sound effects, same old music, same old everything, 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:20.680 but same old rich which is good. So you get 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:23.440 the rich on tech that you're looking for. Here. The 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:26.280 questions answered, the stories that we talk about on the 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:29.560 show So if your first time listener, the show format 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:33.400 is pretty simple. People send me questions, I answer those questions, 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:35.640 and I also talk about some of the stories of 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:39.920 note from that week. So this week it's all about CES. 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.640 I mean, I'm here in Las Vegas and there's so 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:47.520 many haters, so many haters on CES this year, so 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.639 many people did not come to the show. Very small 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.120 show this year, even though there's still don't get me wrong, 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.080 there's still a lot of people here. It's not like 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:57.880 this place is a ghost town. Believe me, it is packed. 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.760 It's just not as packed as in your past. So 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:04.000 there's definitely room to walk in the aisles. There's not 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.280 like a huge weight at booths to see stuff or 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.840 to talk to people, which is all really nice. But 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:10.760 of course the sad part is it's all because of 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:14.320 a pandemic. So CES has a bunch of these new 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.440 rules in place. You had to show your vaccination card 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.560 to get in. You had to Uh, let's see what else, 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.280 oh masks. Every day everyone's wearing the kN ninety fives 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:26.960 because apparently those are better for you. Uh. And then 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:29.360 let's see what else they gave you. They gave you 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:31.560 COVID tests which you didn't have to take. They were 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.040 just sort of for you to have, and you know, 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:35.640 if you wanted to test yourself. Some people I know 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.240 have been testing themselves every day. And then there's this 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.640 little thing. I tweeted out these new stickers that you 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:43.400 can put on your badge. So I thought this was 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.920 pretty brilliant. Actually, there's three stickers you can choose from. 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.360 The first is a green sticker and it says I'm 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:51.600 okay with handshakes. The second is a yellow sticker it 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.800 says I'm okay with elbow and fist bumps. And the 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.200 third is a red sticker that says no touching, I'm 0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:01.080 happy just waving hello. Now, I've been seeing people and 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.920 talking to people. Everyone has a different level of comfort 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.640 with this pandemic and with you know, just in general, 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.560 and so everyone does something different when you first say 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:11.800 hi to them, and so I've been doing kind of 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:13.920 the elbow or fist bump. I think that's a good 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.559 safe middle ground, and so that's what I've been doing. 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:19.240 I put the yellow sticker on my badge and I 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:22.680 don't think anyone noticed it or said anything, but I 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:24.880 just found it today on the last day of cees, 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:27.280 so maybe that's why I didn't have it for the 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.360 other two days. The other thing I wanted to mention 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:33.320 about Las Vegas is man, oh man, they have been 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:37.120 very busy upgrading at least the Verizon network here. So 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.560 I've got Verizon five G on my phone and I'm 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:45.320 not kidding. I have never seen more five g UW 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:49.599 signal anywhere in my entire life. It is unbelievable. Now. 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:51.640 The thing I don't like about it is that it's 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:55.200 super fast on the download, which is amazing for ninety 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.719 nine point nine percent of people. But my life is 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:01.040 all about the upload because I'm uploading to social media 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:03.800 and I found that no joke. I'm just looking at 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.920 my speed test here. I went to Allegiant Stadium, which 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.640 is nice and really new and you know, Home of 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:12.960 the Raiders, really cool place, and I did a speed 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.600 test in the parking lot and it was I kid you, 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:21.039 not two point five gigabits down. That's twenty five hundred down. 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:23.920 That's really fast. Like at home. Most people have like, 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:27.000 you know, two four hundred something like that. If they're lucky, 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.440 sometimes they have a gig, but a lot of times 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.320 people have like twenty five forty whatever, So two point 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:34.720 five down is like unbelievably, it's unheard of. I've never 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:38.320 seen anything like that before. But the upload speed was 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:42.360 a paltry forty six, which is just a tiny, tiny 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.160 upload speed. I mean, it's fine, but again, it would 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:47.080 be nice if that was like one hundred. Now, I 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.000 get it most of the time with these the way 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:52.000 these networks work is that the download speed is really 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:54.240 fast because that's what people care about the most, and 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:57.479 then the upload speed is not as fast. But for me, 0:05:57.880 --> 0:05:59.440 I'm all about the upload speed. We were trying to 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.720 upload a video today at the convention Center and for 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:04.560 some reason we were like in this whole spot where 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:07.479 the signal was just not that good and so it 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:11.000 just took forever. And even at the convention Center when 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:14.279 I had a really fast download speed, the upload was 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:15.520 still not that good. So I don't know if they've 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.599 tweaked that just to make it, you know, to make 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.320 people be able to download stuff. But the reality is, 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:25.279 I've never seen such a large presence of five GUW 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.680 in my life, and I think it's because Vegas is 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:29.960 really flat or something. So I remember, like when Sprint 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.279 first came out with their advanced network. They launched it 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:36.640 first in Las Vegas, and I think T Mobile did 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:38.839 the same. So there's something about Vegas. Maybe it's just 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:42.760 easy to launch networks here. I don't know. But whatever 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:45.160 you're doing for Eizon here in town, keep it up 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.640 and please expand it to the rest of the US, 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:51.560 because we all need these speeds. They are just so amazing. 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:56.679 All right, let's get to the first question of the week. 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.440 Hey rich all your tips and look forward to seeing 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:05.360 you on the WGN Chicago midnight News. Thank you. I 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.839 also have your website bookmarked on my computer. Thanks. Lately, 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.840 it seems that Yahoo mail is not blocking sexual spam 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.720 with a UK extension. I've been job searching for the 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:16.600 past several months. I'm wondering if I got on some 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:20.120 hackers list through a job website. I've started blocking the 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:23.840 email addresses on Yahoo security, but it's very frustrating anyway. 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:27.400 I thought maybe changing my Yahoo email address would help, 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:28.960 but I cannot, for the life of me, find the 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:32.000 place in the Yahoo mail to change my password. Do 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:35.440 you know where that option lives? Wendy, Wendy, you can't 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.440 change your email address, you could change your password and 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:40.800 so if you want to do that on the web, 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.800 you can go to your Yahoo account security page, click 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.040 change password and to your new password, and there you go. 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.720 If you're on the Yahoo mobile app, you can look 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:53.280 at the obviously you go into the menu icon usually 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.960 it's on the side of the menu, and then if 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.800 you're using the mail app, it's manage Accounts, account infos 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:03.920 curity settings. You'll get a code tap change password and 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:07.200 then tap I would rather change my password, enter the 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:10.480 new password and its confirmation and tap continue. So it 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:13.160 is a little bit of a convoluted system to change 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:16.360 the password for Yahoo. They probably do that to protect you. 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:18.800 But if if you want to do that, I would 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:20.360 do that. But I don't think that this person has 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:22.840 access to your account. I think that they. I think 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:25.520 that you probably have gotten on some lists, but I 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.200 also find that a lot of this spam comes and goes. 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:31.720 It may not be this list from your job searching. 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:35.320 It may just be that your Yahoo email address got 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:37.480 out there in the wild from some other data hack. 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:41.360 There's so many data breaches on a regular basis at 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:44.720 this point, and the best website to look to look 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:48.000 and see if your email address has been you know, 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.800 released on the Open Web is a website name Have 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:57.959 I Been Poned, and it's have I Been Pwned? And 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:01.800 you basically type in your email and it will tell 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.960 you all the different places that that email address has 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:08.280 showed up in a large data breach, and you know 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.800 it's it's the website is by the way, it's very respectable. 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.080 So you're not gonna you're not gonna put yourself at 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.600 risk by putting your email address into this website. Just 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.320 make sure you go to the right one, which is 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:23.400 have I Been Pwned dot com. But that's what I 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:26.000 would do for you, uh to see. But these things 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:27.520 come and go. Sometimes you get a lot of spam. 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.199 Sometimes you don't. Just make sure you report them as spam. 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:32.720 All right, let's get back to CES. You know all 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:34.720 almost all the stories are going to be CYES related 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:36.600 because that's where I am, and there's just so much 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:38.080 to see this year, and there's so like I said, 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.840 there's so many haters that didn't actually come to the show, 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:43.559 and they're sort of like couch hating, whereas like I'm 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:45.319 actually here, I'm on the ground. I saw a lot 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.120 of cool stuff. It's like the first time I think 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:51.000 Facebook like blocked me from sharing stuff because they were 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:53.080 so sick of it, because they're like, wait, this guy 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:55.200 hasn't shared much in like two years because you know, 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.040 I've been at home for the pandemic and or not 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:00.360 out and about as much. Like now of a sudden, 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:02.800 he's sharing something like every hour. Let's block him. So 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:04.920 I feel like my stuff is not reaching as many 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:07.360 people as i'd like it to. But I'm sure everyone 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:12.200 feels that way. Anyway. BMW has a color changing car 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:18.319 that I saw, so they essentially wrapped a BMW. I 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:20.719 don't know if it was some sort of suv. They 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:23.880 have in e ink, so that's the same ink that 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:27.120 they use on the kindle. And I asked the person 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.959 in the engineer there's a doctor actually that did this, 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:34.320 and she said that it was very challenging because the 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:39.040 e ink is like a flat panel and cars are 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:41.480 not flat panel, so getting the e ink to sort 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:44.680 of wrap around all these different angles of the car 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:47.800 was really the trickiest part. But she said that the 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:51.120 e ink is very sustainable the way they make it apparently, 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:54.600 and also the energy efficiency of it. It's very energy efficient, 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.080 and when you look at this car, it sort of 0:10:57.160 --> 0:11:01.120 changes from black to white, white to black, any gradient 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.000 in there. And yes, it's just black and white right now. 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.240 But in the future, you know, I asked, and she said, absolutely, 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:09.160 you will have a color changing car in the future. 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:11.760 And so that's pretty wild to think about that your 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:15.360 car will change color, you know, go from you know, oh, 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:16.880 I feel like having a red car today or I 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.199 want a yellow car today. And of course there are 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.880 some real benefits of this, and one of them is 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.920 that you can have your car black in the winter 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:28.880 to sort of absorb the sun and keep it warm, 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:31.800 and then white in the summer to reflect the sun. 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.880 And so that's just one sort of real world case scenario. 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:38.400 Another one they gave is that let's say these cars 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:40.520 were part of some sort of fleet, you know, like 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.400 even an uber whatever, you know, the uber could drive 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:44.920 up and on the side of the car would say 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:47.200 your name or maybe a special code, so you knew 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:48.839 that that was the car that you're looking for. Maybe 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:50.800 it just says Uber on the side, or maybe when 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.000 you're delivering pizza, says Dominoes on the side. I mean, 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:58.800 there's so many implications of this technology. It's really quite phenomenal, 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:01.480 and I think That's definitely the video that has gone 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:05.760 the most viral on my Twitter for sure, because people 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:09.040 are just debating this and it looks really cool. I mean, 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:11.000 I don't you know. It's one of these things where yes, 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:14.480 it's very prototype e, very concept d right now, but 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:18.600 the reality is it shows us what is going to 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:21.679 happen in the future. Every I would say, so many 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.000 of the things I've seen at CES, I'm just like, wow, 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:27.160 that's so wild. They end up happening, Like nine out 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.240 of ten they end up happening. It might take five years, 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:31.800 might take ten years, but they end up happening, and 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:33.280 it's pretty wild. Now, there's a lot of stuff that 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.440 doesn't end up happening, and a lot of this stuff 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:39.320 changes and evolves, but the fact is BMW is on it. 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:44.000 There's so many benefits to this technology, stuff we haven't 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:45.560 even thought of. I Mean, one of the other examples 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.640 they gave is, let's say there's a piece failing on 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:50.720 the car. Let's say it's the right door handle. Maybe 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:53.280 the right door handle is circled on your car, and 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:54.760 so you know when you walk up to your car 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:56.679 that it's you know, there's a problem with that handle, 0:12:56.720 --> 0:13:00.240 and you can get it fixed. So little things like that. Again, 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:01.640 if you want to check it out, check out my 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:09.720 Twitter the BMW color changing car. All right, next question 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:13.240 here comes from Jackie. Hey, Rich, Happy New Year to 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:14.920 you and your family. I'd like to know if you've 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:18.160 previously reviewed the Omni Stick. Oh, here we go. My 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:21.320 husband and I have lots of photos online and even 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:23.840 old flip phones that we keep just for the photos 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.880 they contain. We'd love to capture all of these photos 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.160 and wonder if the Omni stick would work for our 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:33.040 phones and our old dinosaur flip phones. Thanks Rich, Jackie. 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:37.160 I have not reviewed the Omni Stick, but I believe 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:39.480 I've heard of this thing. I think it's advertised and 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:43.040 all that good stuff. It's one of these things where 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:46.520 I don't okay, the photostick omni So it's on Amazon, 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.679 It's got one hundred and six reviews. If you look 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:52.160 at it, it looks pretty old school. It's just not 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.800 something that I would want to share or trust my 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.800 memories on. So what I would say is go with 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:02.400 the one that I like, which is the sand Disc. 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:07.079 So sand Disc makes one called I Expand, and they 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.440 make a couple different versions for various you know, whether 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:12.280 it's the iPhone, whether it's Android. They have a couple 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:14.880 different versions. So just look up sand disc I expand 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:16.840 and look for the new one if you can. The 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.200 the flash drive Go I think is the newest one 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:23.600 which goes between the the well. You'll see, it's just good. 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.800 It's just a better one. So that's what I would recommend. 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:28.080 Now when it comes to all, let me see what 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:30.920 did you say about your pictures? Now? The flip phones 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:34.000 is gonna be tricky flip phones getting the photos off 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:38.440 of those, you know, it's really depends on the phone. 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:43.560 So I'm looking. I'm looking to see if there's anything 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:47.800 like there used to be software. Oh okay, that's actually 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.560 a good idea. A lot of people are saying use 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:54.520 bluetooth to send the photos from your phone to your 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:56.800 other phone. That's a cool way to do it. So 0:14:56.920 --> 0:15:01.200 that's not too bad. That's a that's a good good idea. Also, 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:04.480 you might be able to search for software specials, like 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:06.640 search the model. What I would do is search the 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.080 model of the flip phone and then say, you know, 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:11.760 get photos off, and then the model of the flip phone, 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.440 and then maybe software and then see if there's software 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:17.080 that will do that. Otherwise you might be able to 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:20.360 you might be able to bring them in somewhere, So 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:22.600 you might be able to bring them into like you know, 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:25.480 a Best Buy or like a U break I fix, 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.160 and you might be able to connect this phone to 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:31.680 your computer with a USB cable. So that's another way 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:33.200 to do it. But I think a lot of people 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:37.520 the linking up the phone via Bluetooth to another device, 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:43.640 perhaps with you know, either a computer or another phone, 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:45.520 just say send file, Just send them that way. It's 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:47.880 a slow process, definitely not the best way to do it. 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:50.520 But you probably didn't take that many pictures on these 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:52.760 old phones anyway, because they were you know, now we 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:54.920 take a thout. You know, I've taken so many pictures 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:57.440 on my phone this week that I can't even believe it. 0:15:57.760 --> 0:15:59.720 But back in the day, you know, you took one 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:02.520 phone photo a week, or one photo every you know, 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:04.520 a couple of days. It's just the way we did things. 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.400 So so I would try that out and see what happens. 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:10.040 All right, So I went over to the Samsung booth 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:12.760 at CES and they had a lot of stuff. So 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.000 the LG booth was really weird. It was I guess 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:18.000 they made a last minute decision to sort of exit 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:20.200 the show and so or I don't know when they 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:23.000 made the decision, but the booth was was very, very sparse, 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.520 and so there was just nothing there. It was like 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:28.880 you went around the booth and you scanned QR codes 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.360 and I don't think anyone actually did it. So I'd 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:33.400 love to see the number of people that actually did that, 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:37.200 but I don't know if they did. So Samsung they 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:39.400 went all out. They had a huge booth filled with 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:41.800 stuff and some new stuff as well. A couple things 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:45.360 I saw there. Number one, this new projector called the Freestyle. 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.520 This is a projector that is super easy. It's on 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:51.640 a hinge, It rotates one hundred and eighty degrees and 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:54.440 you can It's got a speaker built in, and it 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:56.920 projects up to a one hundred inch screen. It's nine 0:16:56.960 --> 0:17:00.440 hundred dollars, which is super pricey, but again it's one 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:03.840 of these things where you can see where we're going here. 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:06.960 Projectors like this are going to just continue to get 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:09.640 cheaper now that Samsung's doing it. We can expect these 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:12.080 prices to drop and drop and drop to a place 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:14.280 where basically, when your kid says oh, I want a 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:16.720 TV in my room. You say, how about a giant 0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:19.840 wall for your TV? And I'm not debating the merits 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:21.159 of whether your kid should have a TV in the 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:24.040 room or not. I'm just saying that's my example. Or 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:26.400 maybe you're outside like we do once in a while, 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:28.359 we have like a movie night out in the backyard, 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:31.080 and you know, especially during the pandemic, and now you 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:35.760 can simply you know, it's not rechargeable. It may eventually 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.359 come with a rechargeable battery like that you can connect 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:40.359 to it, and I'm not sure what the feasibility is 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:43.000 of plugging into like sort of a portable power bank. 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:44.919 I mean, you might be able to do that, but 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:47.040 it's really cool and I saw the other The other 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:48.879 trick to this thing is that you can screw it 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:53.119 into a standard light bulb socket. So that's another you know, 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:55.480 they now at home, you probably wouldn't want to do that, 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:57.919 but if you had like a restaurant or something, you 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:00.240 have like a light bulb in the ceiling, you can 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:03.239 project a cool image on the floor or something like that. 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:08.359 So there's a lot of both personal and business applications 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:11.200 of this thing. But it's called the freestyle check it out. 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:14.600 It looks really cool and it does everything by itself, 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:18.320 so it optimizes the screen size, it auto focuses, it 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:20.399 levels the image when it's on an angle, so it 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:23.199 does everything you need and you can access apps on 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:26.000 it like Netflix and Spotify and all that stuff. And 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:28.880 it's just one of those things that's like you see 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:30.679 it and you're like, ah, I really want that, Like 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:32.720 can you imagine bringing that to your hotel room and 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:34.800 just being able to watch like TV on your wall. 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:37.199 That was always my dream in hotel rooms, like just 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:39.760 to have like a giant like like, why I'm looking 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:41.520 at my TV screen in the middle of this wall. 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:44.359 I've turned it on exactly once the entire time. But 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:45.800 wouldn't it be cool if that was just a blank 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:48.800 wall and I could just put this projector on that wall. 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:51.440 So and again, since it's you know, you can angle 0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:54.200 it one hundred and eighty and it also automatically adjusts 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:56.760 to fit the space. It's you know, you don't really 0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:58.199 have to sit there and adjust like what do they 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:00.720 call a keystone or something like the way like angles 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:03.240 in on the edges and stuff. So just a just 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.280 a cool thing that they've done. There. The other thing 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:10.880 I saw at Samsung is this Eco remote and it's 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:13.959 a it's a remote control. This is so weird, but 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:17.040 it has no batteries inside it. Actually it's called the 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:21.560 Eco remote. It gets its energy from your Wi Fi signal, 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:24.840 so it does something called RF harvesting. They showed me, 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:28.760 you know, the little uh dissected remote control with the parts. 0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:31.400 There's some sort of like antenna in there and then 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:35.080 some sort of piece of like semiconductor and somehow it 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:39.120 all the radio waves power the antenna and are sorry, 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:42.080 the radio waves power the remote. Now there's no batteries, 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:43.760 like I said, so I don't really know how that 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:46.280 even does that. But you don't need to replace the 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:48.800 batteries in this remote ever. And it also has Wi 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:50.880 Fi as well, so maybe if you're if your Wi 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:54.119 Fi signal is not that good, it defaults or it 0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:56.520
