1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: It's an all out AI war between Chat, GPT and Google.

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: I'll explain what both companies announced this week. New accessibility

3
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: features coming to Apple, Google and Samsung. The website with

4
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: promo codes that actually work. Plus your tech questions answered.

5
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: What's going on on rich Dedmiro And this is rich

6
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: on Tech. This is the show where I talk about

7
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: the tech stuff I think you should know about. It's

8
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: also the place where I answer your questions about technology.

9
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: I believe that tech should be interesting, useful and fun.

10
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: Phone lines are open at triple eight Rich one oh one.

11
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: That's eight eight eight seven four to two four one

12
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: zero one. Give me a call if you have a

13
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: question about technology. Email is also open. Just go to

14
00:00:53,600 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: rich on Tech dot tv and hit contact. Guests on

15
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: the show this week, C Scott Brown, Senior editor at

16
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: Android Authority, is going to discuss all things Google Io

17
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Then we've got Jenny Blackburn, VP of

18
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: User Design for Gemini Experiences and Google Assistant. She's gonna

19
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: explain how to use Google Gemini AI Assistant. Yes, this

20
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: week was all about Google Io and it was a

21
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: good one. So as I said, it is an all

22
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: out war between Chat GPT and Google. Google's AI is

23
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: called Gemini, so this week was pretty unique. Google had

24
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: a long standing event scheduled for Tuesday called Google Io.

25
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: It's a big event where they show off all the

26
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: things that they've been working on for the year and

27
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: they show off new features that are coming soon, especially

28
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: of course with AI. But not to be outdone, just

29
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: about a week before the event was supposed to happen,

30
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: what does open AI do? They say, Hey, we're having

31
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: an event on Monday, the day before Google's event. Perfect timing.

32
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: So the Open Ai event was not It didn't seem

33
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: to be open to journalists. I think they had people

34
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: in the audience, but I'm not sure who they were.

35
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: It was just mostly the people on stage showing off stuff.

36
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: Small event, but they unveiled GPT four to oh, so

37
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 1: this is a new flavor of their chat GPT that's

38
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: even smarter. And the new term across all the ais

39
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: is multi modal. What does that mean. It means that

40
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: instead of just typing your questions, you can now do text,

41
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: you can do voice, you can do vision. So it's

42
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: a combination of things. It understands various inputs. Now we've

43
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: had text, voice, and vision before, but now it continues

44
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: to get better, and video is pretty much the new

45
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: thing that these AI are very good at understanding. So

46
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: they showed off a whole bunch of demos of all

47
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: kinds of cool stuff. The entire event was about twenty

48
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: six minutes. You can watch the video on YouTube. It

49
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: just gives you a really good understanding of what's to

50
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: come with Open AI and chat GBT, and you understand

51
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: why chat GBT has become a household name. It's smooth,

52
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: it's fluid, and in the future, very near future, it's

53
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: going to become even more natural. The real time conversation

54
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: aspect is getting amazing, So they demoed where you can

55
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: talk to this chat GPT as you would a human,

56
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: and you could even interrupt them mid sentence while the

57
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: thing's talking back to you. You could just interrupt and change

58
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: gears whatever you want, just like you would a real human.

59
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: And the real time video interaction is particularly interesting because

60
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: you can now just point your phone at things and say, hey,

61
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: what's this or how can I use this? What's this four?

62
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: And it's just another way of kind of absorbing the

63
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: world's knowledge. So the new voice mode is coming in

64
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks. Now, one of the neat

65
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: things they did was they are making this new level

66
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: of chat GBT four oh available to everyone. So once

67
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: you go on to chat GBT, it may say, hey,

68
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: you've been upgraded to chat GBT four. Oh that's what

69
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: mine said yesterday, and it's free. Now. I will tell you.

70
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: You're like, well, why should I pay twenty bucks to

71
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: get all these features? What's chatchibt plus that generally gave

72
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: you the access to this higher level of you know, smarts. Well,

73
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: there are limits to how much you can use it.

74
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: So I started using it with the added features, and

75
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: after just a couple of chats back and forth, it

76
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: was like, oh, now if you want to keep going,

77
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: you got to pay or we're going to drop you

78
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: down to the three point five. So again, lots of

79
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: cool things coming from chat gbt open a kind of

80
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: staying ahead of the game. There's also a desktop app

81
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: which I did download for the Mac Windows is coming

82
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: later and that brings chatchybt right into your desktop system

83
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: with a quick shortcut keyboard shortcut. It is. It is

84
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: pretty wild. So what did Google do the next day?

85
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: These stakes were high for Google because Google is the

86
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: search leader. Google started their presentation by saying, look, we've

87
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: been working on AI for a long time, fifteen years, okay,

88
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: So they made it very clear that they know their

89
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: stuff when it comes to AI. Now their AI model

90
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: is called Gemini, and again Gemini is getting smarter. It's

91
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: now multi modal, which means it can handle text, it

92
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: can handle images, it can handle video, it can handle code,

93
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: and it's becoming just smarter and more fluid. So a

94
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: couple of things that they announced AI agents. So these

95
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: aiag they have an idea where you may just say

96
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: to your AI, hey, can you return these shoes for me?

97
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: And you take a picture of the shoes that you

98
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: just bought. It will go into your Gmail, find that

99
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: order number, It will find the information and fill out

100
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: the form on how to return them. It will even

101
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: contact the pickup company like UPS or FedEx and get

102
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: you a return pickup date. Now that's a pie in

103
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: the sky idea. That's where they think this can go.

104
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: They didn't say when that's coming out, but that's kind

105
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: of like where they think things are going, where things

106
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: are actually going, and where things are happening in the

107
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: next couple of months. Is here number one Google Search

108
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: getting AI overviews. Now, if you say, rich, I already

109
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: have this in my Google Search. Yes, if you opted

110
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: into the AI experiments on Google, you might have been

111
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: seeing this already. When you type in something on Google

112
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: up at the top, it gives you kind of an

113
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: AI generated overview of that topic. I call it a

114
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: book report, but it provides quick, detailed answers to complex questions. Now,

115
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: the big question here is Google Search going to be

116
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: impacted by this, especially the advertising aspect. Google makes a

117
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: lot of money by showing US ads at the top

118
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: of our search results. You click a couple of those ads.

119
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: That's how they make a bulk of their money. By

120
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: having an AI overview where you just get the answer

121
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: without having to really click anything, that's a problem for

122
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: their advertisers. Now, of course, Google says it will not

123
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: be a problem, but that remains to be seen how

124
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: they're going to walk that fine line of still making

125
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: gobs of money but providing answers very quickly with AI.

126
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: Another new feature in Google Photos ask Photos. This allows you,

127
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: instead of just putting in one keyword for your Google

128
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: Photo collection, like beach, you can now say show me

129
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: where I went to the beach last year and my

130
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: best pictures from that trip, and it will find those

131
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: pictures and unearth them. You can say what's my license

132
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: plate number, and it will figure out which car you

133
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: continually drive on a recent basis, find the picture that

134
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: you took of your license plate, and tell you that

135
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: license plate number. Another example they gave, Hey, when did

136
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: my kid learn how to swim? It will look through

137
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: all the pictures of your kid and figure out when

138
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: they learn to swim. This is wild stuff, but again

139
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: kind of pie in the sky. They're gonna this is

140
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: gonna roll out soon, but they will have this and

141
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: I can't wait to try this. First question, I'm gonna ask, Hey,

142
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: show me all my duplicates of my library because I

143
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: need to clear those out. Then they're putting Gemini, which

144
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: is again their AI, into all of their apps. So

145
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: we're talking Gmail, we're talking Docs. Any app that Google

146
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: makes AI is going to be built in. So for Gmail,

147
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: for instance, you can say, Hey, summarize all the recent

148
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: emails I got from my kids' school, and what are

149
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: my action steps, like what do I need to respond

150
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: to And it will be smart enough to go into

151
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: your Gmail and figure that out. When you're working on

152
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: a document, you can say, hey, help me brainstorm this,

153
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: or you know, help me write this, or look at

154
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: my last presentation in Drive and help me make a

155
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: better one this time around, and it will go into

156
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: Google Drive and find out all that stuff. Now, Google

157
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: says this is all done very privately, So even though

158
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: it can access your documents, and it can access your

159
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: Gmail and it can access your photos, it's not using

160
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 1: any of your data to train its large language models,

161
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: so it is keeping that information private. And then finally

162
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: they mentioned that they're going to start flagging any of

163
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: their AI generated content with a special watermark so that

164
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: it can be identified. And the other demo I got

165
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: in person, which was really really cool, was called Project Astra.

166
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 1: This is again what I mentioned with open AI and

167
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: chat GBT. It's a very new way of interacting with

168
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: AI using the video camera on your phone. So you

169
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: would just point your phone at something like they gave

170
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: the example of a record player that's not working, or

171
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: actually that was a different example, but you could just

172
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: point your phone pretty much anything and say hey, where

173
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: am I what does it look like? And they'd say, oh,

174
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: it looks like you're in London. Right now based on

175
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: you know, what we're seeing around you, or hey, show

176
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: me stop when I when I get to a speaker,

177
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: and you know, you can just pan your camera around

178
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: the room and when you get to a speaker, it'll say, oh,

179
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: I see a speaker. I mean, it's just really really

180
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: new and interesting ways of interacting with all of the

181
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: world's information, and access to information is just going to

182
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: continue to get better. The flip side of all of

183
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: this is that these AI models need to be trained,

184
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: and the big question in the future is how are

185
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: we going to train these things? Where are they getting

186
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: the training data? If everything you've searched on the web

187
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: is a summary for the next five years, that's going

188
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: to be great. But when people stop writing articles because

189
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: everything's summarized now, where does the new information come from?

190
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: When everyone's generating images using AI, Where are we getting

191
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: original art from? Where are we getting original music from?

192
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: This is the new question that is going to be

193
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: a rising with the rise of AI. All right, coming

194
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: up on today's show, we're going to talk about new

195
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: accessibility features coming soon. But first it's your term. Give

196
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: me a call triple eight rich one oh one eight

197
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

198
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: If you have a question about technology, phone lines are open.

199
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: Let's go to Manny in Covina, California. Manny, you're on

200
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: with Rich.

201
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 2: Hey, mister Rich, good show. Listen. I have a different inquiry.

202
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 2: It's the beginning of technology. I have a textbook and

203
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 2: I was wondering if your opinion on the value of

204
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 2: the Learning to Use Work Perfect five point zero, Slash

205
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 2: five point one, Lotus one two three and Database three plus.

206
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 2: The authors are Gary B. Shelley and Thomas J. Casmin.

207
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 2: What do you think? Should I donate it? Do you

208
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 2: want it? I mean, but I'd like to get some

209
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 2: money for it. I looked online and I didn't really

210
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: find too much on whether I can buy one. I

211
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: wanted to see what the query would say. It did

212
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 2: say that there are like maybe two available, so I

213
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 2: think it's rare. So your opinion.

214
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: What's the book called again.

215
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 2: Learning to Use Work Perfect five point zero, Flash five

216
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 2: point one, Lotus one two three and Database three plus

217
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 2: dBase three plus.

218
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: And who's the author? I'm sorry, who's the author?

219
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 2: Shelley Cashman? I'm sorry, Gary B. Shelley, Thomas J. Cashman.

220
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: And then there are three more Okay, so I'm just looking.

221
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously eBay is the place to look for this.

222
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: So I'm looking on eBay and I see a couple

223
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: of a couple of different books. Here. This looks like interesting,

224
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: This looks like someone is selling like a copy of

225
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: it maybe. But here's the thing. The bottom line is

226
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: nobody needs this anymore. There is no need for this book.

227
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: So that kind of limits its value because the only

228
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: person that would want this is someone that's interested in

229
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: the nostalgia factor or a collection factor. So a couple

230
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: of things you can do with this number. One, go

231
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: on eBay and type in the name exactly as you

232
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: see it, and kind of get an idea of if

233
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: people are selling this if they're not. If you want

234
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: to sell it on there, go ahead, name a price

235
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: or just let people bit it up. Start at ninety

236
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: nine cents to what happens. But it's one of these

237
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: things where it's it's this is a very small group

238
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: of people that may want something like this. Now that

239
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that it doesn't have value, but you'll find

240
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: out on eBay if it does have value. Second thing

241
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: is you can donate it to someone, maybe like a

242
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: computer museum, or something like that if they want it.

243
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: But really, Manny, I think that this main thing is

244
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: that just go on eBay. eBay's your friend with this,

245
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: and you know, a Google search, and just see if

246
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: anyone else is selling this, see if there is any

247
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: value in this. That's the best way of figuring it out.

248
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: You know, I've got too much stuff already. I don't

249
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: need any I want less stuff because I do keep

250
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: a small amount of tech that I think in the

251
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: future might be interesting. But at the same time, it's

252
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: you know, this kind of stuff like a book, a

253
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: book on how to use word perfect is just really

254
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: probably I can't imagine many people would still want something

255
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: like that. Sadly, now if it was like an old

256
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: Blockbuster card maybe, like those are the kind of things

257
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: that you know, people may find interesting. But good question.

258
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: Thanks for the question today, Manny and Covina eBay, Oh

259
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: my gosh. When eBay first came out, they call it

260
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: the perfect Store, and it really is because if someone

261
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: wants what you are selling, I mean, really, two people

262
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: have to want what you're selling for it to be valuable.

263
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: If only one person wants it, it's not really valuable.

264
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: But if two people want it and they bit it up.

265
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: It can become very valuable. So eBay is are really

266
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: really to me such an amazing site. When it first

267
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: came out, it just kind of blew my mind because

268
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: I said, this is incredible. Like you put something on

269
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: on a groad sale, you know, at a groad sale

270
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: in front of your house. The only people that can

271
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: possibly want that is someone who drives by and sees

272
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: that product. But eBay is worldwide, everyone has the opportunity

273
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: to buy it. Thanks for the question. Eight eight eight

Speaker 1: one zero one. Netflix getting into live sports with an

276
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: NFL deal. So NFL is partnering with the NFL for

277
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: uh or sorry. Netflix is partnering with the NFL for

278
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: a three season deal, getting into sports streaming live two

279
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: Christmas Day games this year, so this is a big deal.

280
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: They haven't announced what games these are going to be,

281
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: but as we know, the NFL is really making a

282
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: lot of money off of selling their games to these

283
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: different streaming services. Peacock had won last year. We know

284
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: that Amazon got Thursday Night Football and this is just

285
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: going to continue. I was looking up to see what

286
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: we need to watch NFL this season and it's just

287
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: all over the place. What NFL has not done is

288
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: their own streaming service, which would just be bananas. If

289
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: you could just pay a one time fee and get

290
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: every game no matter what, that would be incredible. But

291
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: we are going to see uh two games, two games

292
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: on Christmas Day on Netflix. I'm here for it, and

293
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: I think we're just going to continue to see more

294
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: on Netflix when it comes to live events and live sports,

295
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: something they really shied away from when Netflix first started.

296
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: They said, why would we ever need to be like

297
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: traditional TV? Why would we ever need to be like

298
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: a traditional broadcaster? And the answer is those games when

299
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: they are played live, are very valuable to advertisers. Netflix

300
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: will make a lot of money on this deal. Eighty

00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: Oh sure.

311
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 3: And then I also have an old school landline. We've

312
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 3: had the number in our family forever endeavor. So I'm

313
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 3: paying on both of those and they just keep moving

314
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 3: my internet rate up and up and up. So they're now.

315
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: Pushing the Hey, a major company continues to raise prices

316
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: on you. Yeah, no way, I can't believe that.

317
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna go. I get eighteen megabytes per second

318
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 3: and I'm going to be paying ninety dollars a month

319
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 3: just for.

320
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: The Internet for eighteen eighteen down.

321
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it.

322
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: Got to dump that. Okay.

323
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they offered me, you know, they're like, hey,

324
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 3: we've got this new Internet Air thing in your area.

325
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 3: So one, what are your thoughts on Internet Air?

326
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 4: Two?

327
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 3: I currently have a cell phone that's AT and T

328
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 3: and then I'm thinking about converting my landline from a

329
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 3: landline and going to a different carrier like maybe Mint

330
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 3: Mobile or T Mobile someone else and just let it

331
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 3: take over my landline number.

332
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: And what do you need to land on?

333
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 3: How do you like AT and T Internet Air?

334
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 5: Two?

335
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 3: Is it smart going to two different carriers for cell phones?

336
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: Okay, well, so the first question is, uh, so you

337
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: have AT and T on your smartphone already, right, yes, okay,

338
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: so the question is how is the speed on your smartphone?

339
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: Have you done a speed test?

340
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not, I don't. Do you mean like using

341
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 3: it as a hotspot?

342
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: Well, just going to like if you go to a

343
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: website like fast dot com on your phone, see how

344
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: fast that is, because that's going to be a pretty

345
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: good indication of how how fast this Internet air is

346
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: going to be. Yeah, because you already have AT and T.

347
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: Now I will tell you that the antenna inside the

348
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: Internet air box is obviously going to be a little

349
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: bit more powerful than what's on your phone, but it

350
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: gives you an idea. If you're getting five down, you're

351
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: not going to get much more on the Internet air

352
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: If you're getting one hundred down, then that's pretty good.

353
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: Interesting now, so that's my number one suggestion. I would

354
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: also look in the upper right hand corner of your

355
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: phone and see what kind of signal you have? What

356
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: what type of phone do you have? Is it newer

357
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: or do you have like five G Yeah, well.

358
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,719
Speaker 3: It's a couple of year old Pixel four A, yeah,

359
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 3: Google Pixel four A. But it's been a great little phone.

360
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh no, I love. I've been testing the Pixel

361
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 1: eight a actually, and for five hundred bucks it's a

362
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: great little phone, even though I know it'll be sold

363
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: for cheaper, so don't buy it for five hundred Okay,

364
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: So that's number one. So here's what what what AT

365
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: and T is doing with Internet air. They're making that

366
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 1: available in places where they don't have fiber internet. So

367
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: in places like where you are, where DSL, they want

368
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: to get people off the DSL because it's expensive and

369
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: you know, to maintain and all that stuff. They would

370
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: rather have people using their cellular network that's already in

371
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: the area. So that's where they're activating AT and T air.

372
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: So it's not in many places right now, but where

373
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: it is, and they're they're probably offering a decent price

374
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: as well. I have no problem with switching to it.

375
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: Have you checked the other internet service providers in your area,

376
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: like a Spectrum or cocks or whoever else services your area.

377
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: Have you checked to c because if you're switching, you know,

378
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: you might get a pretty good deal for the first

379
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: two years or so on them as well.

380
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 3: And I'm glad you brought that up because I just

381
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 3: started looking into that obviously when I went to AT

382
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 3: and T to try to negotiate a deal. They're like, oh, no,

383
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 3: you know, we'll offer you this, you know, for fifty

384
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 3: five bucks a month, you get the Internet air and

385
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 3: that's it. They weren't willing to negotiating.

386
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: No, they don't. They don't negotiate on the home Internet.

387
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 1: None of them do. They're not. That's like kind of

388
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: the new thing. In fact, AT and T is not

389
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 1: really negotiating at all anymore on their home Internet. The

390
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: thing that's non negotiable is the price increases like clockwork

391
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: every year or so, my no mind does. But the

392
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: website that I'd recommend to see what else is in

393
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: your area speed test dot net. They have what's called

394
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: a speed test performance site, and so you type in

395
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: your zip code and it will tell you the different

396
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: providers in your area and also the speeds that people

397
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: are getting with those providers. So, for instance, if I

398
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 1: type in a zip code in Los Angeles near where

399
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: I am, you can see the different providers and what

400
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: they're getting. Now. AT and T Internet Air is not there,

401
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: but they do have kind of the T Mobile Internet.

402
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,239
Speaker 1: They've got a couple other providers that they do have

403
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: speed tests for so I'd recommend looking at that as well.

404
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: And I think that was your first question. The second

405
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: question was the switching to the Mint mobile or whatever.

406
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 3: I mean, that's kind of why I kept my landline

407
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 3: all this time. If one network went down, I was

408
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 3: had the other one as a backup. But like if

409
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 3: I go with maybe a T Mobile and stay with

410
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 3: AT and T or a Mint.

411
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, the other The only issue with that, if you

412
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: are going to switch to internet air, they probably give

413
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: you the best price if you're also on their cell

414
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: phone network as well? Is that not the case?

415
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 3: Gotcha?

416
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 1: So that would be my only consideration. But I will

417
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: tell you I recently switched my wife to one of

418
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: the mv and o's because my bill for her just

419
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: kept going up and she doesn't use a lot of data,

420
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: and it just it was like ninety bucks a month,

421
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: and I switched to one that was like forty five

422
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: a month unlimited. And it's you know, I've been asking

423
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: her like every day, like, hey, do you notice any

424
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: difference in your service? And she's like, no, not really.

425
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 1: So you know, I have no problem with switching to

426
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: save money, especially if you don't use that much data,

427
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: but maybe maybe do one thing at a time, you know,

428
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: like maybe you know, jump off onto the internet air first,

429
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: you know, wait a couple of months, and then if

430
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: you want to switch your your cell phone provider, you

431
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: can do that as well.

432
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 3: Gotcha, gotcha? Okay, yeah, that's a great tip. Fast dot

433
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 3: com and speed test dot net.

434
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, check it out.

435
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:52,880

Speaker 1: All right, Mark, appreciate the call. Thank you all right.

437
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: Uh eighty eight rich one oh one eight eight eight

438
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: seven four to two zero one. I mentioned that Twitter

439
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: is going bye bye, and yeah, that's true. It's a

440
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: little bit of a tease, but yes, Twitter has completed

441
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: their rebranding to x dot com. If you use Twitter

442
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: on a daily basis, you notice that half the time

443
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: you would go to the website, it would be a

444
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: Twitter address in the URL, and so you'd be like, well,

445
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: wait a second, I thought this switch to X dot com.

446
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 1: But this week Twitter has finally transitioned fully to x

447
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: dot com. All core systems and all the URLs have

448
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: now been moved to x dot com. And that means

449
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: that the Twitter handle and the bluebird logo are gone.

450
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 1: They are now just a memory, a memory for all

451
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: of us that remember the failwal Do you remember the

452
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: fail well, no, Adam's in for Bobo today doesn't remember

453
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: the fail Well. That was when Twitter first started. It

454
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: would always just it would always crash, and it would

455
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 1: because too many people were using it, and it would

456
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: go to this failwale that was like a I think

457
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: it was like an upside down whale and it was just,

458
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: you know, it was like kind of cute. It just

459
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: you know, that meant Twitter was down. But this is

460
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: now fully done and uh, yes, there's no So let

461

Speaker 1: slash rich on tech. There you go. Anyway, you can

465
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: follow me there and join the fun.

466
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 6: And uh.

467
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: Microsoft's free PC optimizer got a new version this week,

468
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 1: so PC manager. If you want to free upspace on

469
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: your Windows machine if you have Windows ten or Windows eleven,

470
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: Microsoft has launched a new version of its free Windows

471
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 1: tuning tool called PC Manager. The main thing you can

472
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: do with this is the files cleanup toool. This can

473
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 1: help you free up storage on your hard drive by

474
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: cleaning up any downloaded files, and it can also search

475
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: for large files and remove duplicates. Now, before you say, oh,

476
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: I've been looking for a duplicates manager, I'm not sure

477
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: this is one hundred percent for finding all those duplicate photos,

478
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: but it will help you in the process of finding

479
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: those duplicate files. You can say if you want to

480
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 1: do the downloaded files, the large files, or the duplicate files.

481
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: This is kind of an alternative to the mainstay, which

482
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: is C Cleaner. I know that I feel like that

483
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: has mixed reviews online. Some people love it, some people

484
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: don't like it. But a lot of people when they're

485
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,959
Speaker 1: trying to speed up their system clear out stuff, they

486
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: download anything they find on the internet to help them.

487
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 1: Be careful when you do that. Not all programs are

488
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: treated equally. But this is a program that is put

489
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: out by Microsoft. You can find it in the Microsoft Store. Again,

490
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: it is called PC Manager. I'll put a link on

491
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: the show notes as well. But this is only for

492
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: Windows ten or Windows eleven, but new version this week.

493
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: If you want to clean up your hard drive remove

494
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: some of the stuff that's in there. It also removes

495
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 1: temporary files and clears out the Windows Update cash. So

496
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,720

528
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 7: texting is gone, the microphone to voice text is gone.

529
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 7: All there is is the ability to record a text

530
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 7: message and send it.

531
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: Okay, what what app are you using for your for

532
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 1: your keyboard? Do you know?

533
00:27:59,119 --> 00:27:59,719
Speaker 7: I don't know.

534
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: So do you have your phone with you?

535
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 2: I do?

536
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: Okay, you got to go into settings, okay, and we're

537
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: going to go into keyboard so you can just search

538
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: for keyboard. Let's see keyboard so general management. So if

539
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: you go into general management, okay.

540
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 7: I think it's Samsung.

541
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: Okay, So if it's a Samsung keyboard, you probably just

542
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: have to re enable it. So if you go in

543
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:28,959
Speaker 1: there where it says keyboard list and default does it

544
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: so it says Samsung keyboard. And then if you go

545
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: in there let's see here, I'm looking for the uh yeah,

546
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: so voice typing? Do you have voice typing? Is it

547
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: toggled on or off?

548
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 7: I don't see voice typing?

549
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: Okay, So if you go into your Samsung keyboard under

550
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: keyboard list in de fall right, I mean I'm looking

551
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: at mine right now, says Samsung Keyboard, and then it

552
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: says for me, I haven't selected as Google voice typing

553
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: because I like Google to be on there, so it

554
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: doesn't show you that on there. Huh. Now okay, so

555
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: what if we let's see, let me try a different ways.

556
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: Let's say we go into the keyboard and okay, so

557
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: in the lower when you go to your app, when

558
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: the lower left hand corner, there's no little voice, there's

559
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: no little keyboard microphone icon, no interesting okay, gone. Now,

560
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: so now when you go into your keyboard, so go

561
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: into like a text message. Okay, okay. Now now up

562
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: at the top, do you see the first thing on

563
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: the left hand side is like a little AI kind

564
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: of like toggle like two little stars.

565
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 7: Uh Like, there's like a little camera. There's a phone,

566
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 7: and then three.

567
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: Dots a camera and a phone and three dots. Hmmm,

568
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: what so you're looking at the keyboard and you see

569
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: do you see a number row at the top?

570
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 8: Yeah?

571
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: Okay, So above the number road, do you see like

572
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: a little gear icon, a little what like a little

573
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: looks like a little gear Oh yeah, okay, so tap

574
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: that okay, okay, Now that should bring you into Samsung keyboard.

575
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 2: Right, okay, okay.

576
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: Now scroll all the way down, okay, to where it

577
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: says voice input. Oh yeah, okay. Now do you have yours?

578
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: Probably says none, Select Samsung or Google.

579
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 7: It's it's Samsung voice Inputright select Google voice tyking.

580
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: You can if you want, but you can just do

581
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Samsung works as well. But you can try

582
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: toggling it to Google and maybe that'll bring it up. Okay, okay,

583
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: now you did that.

584
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 3: Oh it won't let me.

585
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 7: Oh it's like great and it won't allow me to interesting.

586
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: Okay, So if you go back to the one before,

587
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: do you have your your voice? Okay? The bottom line

588
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: is you got to you gotta turn on voice typing again.

589
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: So the only thing I can think of is perhaps

590
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: you have taken away some sort of permission for your

591
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: keyboard that does not allow it to use the voice

592
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: the microphone anymore so the other thing you can do

593
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: is go into your settings if this doesn't work, and

594
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: go into your permissions. And so if you go into

595
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: your permissions, you can see your keyboard and it will

596
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: show you if it has permission to use the the microphone,

597
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: and if it somehow toggled that permission off, that may

598
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: be why you can no longer access the microphone. But

599
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: the two things you need to know is just go.

600
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta really look through those settings and

601
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: look for that that keyboard or the voice setting and

602
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: make sure you can turn that on. If you can't,

603
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: then I would say you have to go into your

604
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: permissions and see if you can set that on. The

605
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: only other thing I would I would say you can

606
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: do is when you're in your Samsung keyboard settings, you

607
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: can click reset to default settings, and that might that

608
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: might switch everything back on. Like the first time you

609
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: open up your keyboard, it may then show you the

610
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do reset keyboard settings. And then the first

611
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 1: time that you open up that Samsung keyboard again and

612
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: it may ask you if you want to use the

613
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: voice input, but I'm tapping it and I've got the

614
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: I've got the one UI six point one right on

615
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: there and I am seeing it, so it's not it

616
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: has not gone away. It is just somehow deactivated on

617
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: your device. But you do have to just kind of

618
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: look through those settings and anything you see that has voice,

619
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: make sure it's toggled on and make sure that you

620
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: are allowing that permissions to access the microphone because that

621
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: might have been toggled off in the process. Email me, Kathy,

622
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: please with the update, because I don't want to go

623
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: through the whole system right now, because you know, obviously

624
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: we have limited time. But that is where you'll find it.

625
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: Thanks for the question. Today we got an email question.

626
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: Let's see here. Kate says he's traveling to the UK

627
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: and I would like to know the best apps for

628
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,719
Speaker 1: getting ride shares and taxis, finding a self guided walking

629
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: tour of a city and its major sites, and the

630
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: best Beatles tour in Liverpool. And thanks already for wiki voyage.

631
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: It is a fantastic overview site, although the info is

632
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: kind of twenty twenty one is so I hope they

633
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: keep it current. Thank you, Kate. Kate, it's funny you

634
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: say this. They're actually adding in this travel itinerary like

635
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: this exact question. You'll be able to ask Google very soon,

636
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: and so just in time for summer planning, they're going

637
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: to do this new AI trip itinerary thing which is

638
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: going to be game changing. But until then, two things

639
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: that I would recommend. Number one, brand new website called

640
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: mind trip dot Ai. Mind trip dot Ai, I pasted

641
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: your question in there and it tells me that for

642
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: ride shares and taxis, you want to use Uber or

643
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: free Now, and I will tell you my experience. Free

644
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: Now was what I use when I went to Europe,

645
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: and it's what I recommend to everyone. It's a little

646
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: bit more popular, but it's much more taxi oriented, whereas

647
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: Uber is you know obviously Uber. And then it tells

648
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: for self guiding walking tours Rick Steves pocket Guide and

649
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: then regarding the best Beatles tour in Liverpool, it also

650
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: has that information as well. Uh. The other thing I

651
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: would recommend is guide geek dot Ai. Guide geek dot Ai.

652
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 1: Paste your question into there and it should give you

653
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 1: those answers. But this is the sort of thing that

654
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: AI is just built for. And these two new products,

655
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 1: both mind trip dot ai and guide geek dot ai,

656
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 1: are excellent at coming up with these complex answers. Check

657
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: them out. I'll put links in the show note show

658
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: notes rich on Tech dot TV. But this is the

659
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: kind of stuff that AI can really really help you for.

660
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: Of course, you always want to cross reference and make

661
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: sure that the stuff they recommend is still the best recommendations.

662
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: More rich on Tech come your way. Coming up, i'll

663
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: talk about the new accessibility features coming soon. This is

664
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich

665
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: Demiro here hanging out with you, talking technology at triple

666
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: eight rich one oh one eight eight eight seven four

667
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: two four one zero one, the website for the show

668
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: rich on Tech dot TV. Before the break, we had

669
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: Kathy call in and she was perplexed because she could

670
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 1: not find the voice typing input on her Samsung phone.

671
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 1: Get a lot of emails, a lot of phone calls,

672
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: Scott and Anaheim, you have the answer.

673
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 9: Yes.

674
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 10: When the UI update came on to the Samsung twenty three,

675
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 10: originally the speak to text microphone was in the bar

676
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 10: across the top of the keyboard. They moved the microphone

677
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 10: icon and made it a lot smaller and put it

678
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 10: in the bottom left corner of the screen. And I

679
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 10: think that's that's the problem. A lot of my coworkers

680
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 10: have had as well. They just couldn't find it.

681
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I just I got about a dozen responses

682
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: on Twitter and email people all saying the same thing.

683
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: They moved it to the lower left hand corner. Now

684
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: here's the funny thing, Scott. You know, like I don't

685
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: use the Samsung keyboard, I use g board, so I

686
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: you know, my microphone is up in the upper right

687
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 1: hand corner. But it's funny. When I first opened the keyboard,

688
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: I said, well, there it is right there at the bottom.

689
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: Like I found it in about two seconds. But maybe

690
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: I understand if you're looking in the same place over

691
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: and over and they change it, you're not good at

692
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 1: Maybe you're just not looking in the lower left hand corner.

693
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 4: So that.

694
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: But she also said that something was great out which

695
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: made it seem like maybe something else changed. But hopefully

696
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: that's the deal. But thanks for the call, Scott, appreciate it.

697
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: But yes, if you're looking for the you know, if

698
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: you're looking on the update, you just got the new

699
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: update on the Samsung phone. The voice to text is

700
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:40,479
Speaker 1: now in the lower left hand corner. Coming up this hour,

701
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: C Scott Brown is going to join us. He is

702
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: senior editor at Android Authority. He's going to discuss all

703
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: of the changes coming to Android. Yes, one thing is

704
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: inevitable in the tech world. There will be lots of changes.

705
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: That's kind of how it goes, all right. So this

706
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: week was Global Accessibility the Awareness Day, and so all

707
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: of the major companies, Apple, Google, Samsung, they all came

708
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: out with updates about what they're doing to make their

709
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: phones more accessible to more people. And so Google has

710
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of stuff that they are doing, and

711
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 1: let me go through theirs first, and I'll do Apple,

712
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:22,280
Speaker 1: then I'll do Samsung. So Google is improving Lookout. Lookout

713
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: helps people with blindness and low vision use their phone's

714
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 1: camera to get more information about the world around them.

715
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: Now they're providing a way to find specific objects, so

716
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: you can select from categories like seating, tables, bathrooms, and

717
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: when you move your camera around, Lookout will notify you

718
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 1: in the direction and the distance to the item. Then

719
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: they're also doing a text free mode to communicate using

720
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: look to Speak, so you can select pre written customizable

721
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: phrases with your eyes and have them spoken aloud. So

722
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: starting today you've got a text free mode. You can

723
00:37:56,120 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: also select and personalized emoji symbols and photos to activate speech.

724
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: So this new feature, they say, is to make communicating

725
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: more accessible to people with cognitive differences, literacy challenges, and

726
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 1: language barriers. So you can literally look at an emoji

727
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: and it will speak that. Let's see what else. Then

728
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: they've got a hands free cursor for Android developers. So

729
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 1: starting this week, developers can access Project Game Phase, which

730
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: is going to mean that they can move a cursor

731
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: around on the screen. Let's see open face. Oh wow,

732
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: that's interesting, a hands free cursor. Okay, So yeah, Google,

733
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: Apple's doing something very similar in Google Maps. You can

734
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: get more detailed voice guidance for blind or low vision users.

735
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: That's available globally on Android and iOS. And then let's

736
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: see what else. Accessibility information. More than fifty million places

737
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: are marked with accessibility details. That is expanding to desktop.

738
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: So that was on mobile, now you can get that

739
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: on desktop and I always do that.

740
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 4: I know.

741
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: They made a big push a couple of years ago

742
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 1: to have people like myself that fill in information on

743
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: Google Maps to tell if there is accessibility entrances at places,

744
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,439
Speaker 1: like wheelchair accessible entrances, and I try to always help

745
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: with that. Okay, so what else Apple, They've got a

746
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 1: whole bunch of things. Their most notable is IE tracking,

747
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,439
Speaker 1: so they are introducing hands free I tracking on the

748
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:31,720
Speaker 1: iPad and the iPhone, so people can only use their eyes.

749
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: So this is for people obviously with physical disabilities. They

750
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: will be able to control their iPad or iPhone using

751
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,720
Speaker 1: just their eyes just by looking at stuff on the screen.

752
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: So the front facing camera notices where their eyes are looking,

753
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: and it uses AI to kind of figure out when

754
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: they stop on something and hover that will select or

755
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 1: they can swipe things. So this is a pretty pretty

756
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: amazing paradigm shift for the use of the iPad or

757
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:02,240
Speaker 1: the iPhone for someone with a disability, because that means

758
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: that they can now control this device without any additional

759
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: hardware or software. It's all built into the operating system

760
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: that's coming later this year. Music Haptics they're also introducing

761
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: allows deaf or heart of hearing users to experience music

762
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: through iPhones Tactic Engine that will integrate with Apple Music

763
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 1: and then third party apps with They can also tap

764
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 1: into that as well. Vocal Shortcuts users can create customs

765
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:31,280
Speaker 1: sounds to perform tasks, and then they also have vehicle

766
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 1: motion cues. So if you're the type of person that

767
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: gets car sick when you're looking at your smartphone, they

768
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: now have this new system that uses animated dots to

769
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: help your brain kind of like understand that the cars

770
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,800
Speaker 1: in motion, and I guess that helps you with motion sickness.

771
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: Let's see. There's also car Play updates, Vision OS enhancements.

772
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: That's you know with the with the their VR headset.

773
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: Not many people have that. Let's see now when it

774
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: comes to Samsung, this is something you can already access

775
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: now it is live. I checked forward on my phone.

776
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 1: It's called re relumina. How do you say this Relumineo mode.

777
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: And this was initially introduced on TVs to help people

778
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:20,439
Speaker 1: with vision impairments. Now it's coming to Samsung's smartphones they say,

779
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: select Samsung Galaxy smartphones. So this was a feature for

780
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: smart TVs. It enhances the visuals for low vision. So

781
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: this improves visibility by outlining objects, enhancing contrast, adjusting brightness,

782
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 1: and sharpening images, making content clearer for people with vision impairments.

783
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: So this was originally shown off. I remember this at

784
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,919
Speaker 1: CS twenty twenty three, and they showed it off again

785
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 1: at Samsung CS twenty twenty four, but now it's available

786
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: on your Samsung phone. So my recommendation if you have

787
00:41:54,920 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 1: any sort of accessibility issues, go into the settings on

788
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: your phone and go into the accessibility because there are

789
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: so many features available to you these days compared to

790
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: just a couple of years ago on the iPhone, on Samsung,

791
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 1: on Google, on Android, and there's just so many little

792
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 1: features that you can tap into and activate. So I

793
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,760
Speaker 1: would definitely recommend doing that because they continue to update

794
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: these things. Again the website, rich on tech dot TV,

795
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: I'll link up everything that I just mentioned. Let's go

796
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 1: to Angie in Los Angeles. Angie, how are you doing today?

797
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show.

798
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 4: Hi, thank you for taking my call. I love your show.

799
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: Thanks.

800
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 4: I'm looking for just give you a little bit of background.

801
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 4: This is for a person who's in their early eighties

802
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 4: picking out a phone. They had that keyboard flip phone

803
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 4: for a while, loved it. They stopped making it. They

804
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 4: told them told her that she needed to upgrade to

805
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 4: a smartphone. So now she's using a motor role up

806
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 4: motorall was seven to be specific, and now wants to

807
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 4: replace this phone. But looking for something and hearing your

808
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 4: intro about the all the you know, adaptive uh features

809
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 4: on a lot of new phones. Sounds great. She does

810
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 4: have hearing issues, but no real vision problems other than readers,

811
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:27,840
Speaker 4: and wants something very simple, doesn't use the internet. Loved

812
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 4: the keyboard that was on the previous older phone.

813
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: But you mean had a physical keyboard or keypad.

814
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 4: No, it had a physical It was like a keep

815
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 4: had the flip phone with the little keypad and you

816
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 4: just punched the you know.

817
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 8: It was like.

818
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 4: Looked similar to one of the ones you profiled on

819
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 4: qtl A one time where they had an actual physical keypad.

820
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 4: And I forgot the brand the name of that phone.

821
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,800
Speaker 4: I know that you profiled at a one of your

822
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 4: segment's song a TLA. But she's just kind of looking.

823
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 1: For something simple, something really simple.

824
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the Motorolas. I'm looking at some of the

825
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 4: newer Motorolas and they really don't get good reviews. But

826
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 4: the phone is really hard to I mean for an

827
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:21,479
Speaker 4: iPhone user myself, who previously had a Samsum and came

828
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 4: from an android's family, I find her phone very cumbersome

829
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 4: to use for real person, Yeah, I mean the steps

830
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 4: she has to go through to delete a phone number is,

831
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 4: you know, kind of ridiculous.

832
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: Okay, well, a couple a couple of resources. Number one,

833
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 1: there's a website called dumb Wireless. I talked about them

834
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: on KTLA and we showed a couple of phones. So

835
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: that may give you some ideas for phones. Like I'm

836
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 1: looking at this punk phone p U n k T.

837
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 1: I don't know how they say it, but that looks

838
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 1: like it'd be really simple. It has the physical buttons.

839
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: It doesn't have a full keyboard, but it's got the

840
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: you know, main number dial keys and all that stuff.

841
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: So that may be a place to kind of just

842
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,479
Speaker 1: get some ideas for things. That's the first place i'd look.

843
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: At the c SUN conference, I also showed off this

844
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: phone company called blind Shell blind Shell, and that is

845
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: a phone that's very very simple. It speaks everything. It's

846
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: primarily made for low vision users. But I asked the

847
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: people and I said, can't anyone that kind of like

848
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 1: just wants a really simple smartphone use this? And they said, yeah, absolutely.

849
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 1: But the problem with that phone is it's a little expensive,

850
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 1: so it may be more expensive than you want to

851
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:36,280
Speaker 1: spend on a smartphone. The other thing is that Samsung

852
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,919
Speaker 1: actually has what's called easy Mode on all of their smartphones.

853
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,760
Speaker 1: And when you activate easy Mode, it's like really simple.

854
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 1: All the buttons, all the icons, everything becomes bigger. It

855
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: gets rid of all the nonsense and all the extra

856
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: functions and stuff. It kind of puts them like a

857
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: step back, so you don't need to worry about all

858
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 1: those But that is a great way to just make

859
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 1: any Samsung phone very simple. And it's called easy Mode.

860
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 1: So if you go to settings display and just hit

861
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: easy Mode, it really does a lot of things. So

862
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 1: what it does is it makes bigger on screen items,

863
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: a longer touch and whold delay to prevent accidental actions.

864
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: That's a huge issue with especially some folks that are

865
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: using their phones high contrast keyboard for better readability. And

866
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: it's just a much easier way to use your smartphone.

867
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: And that you could just get the basic Samsung S

868
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: twenty four, even the S twenty three from last year,

869
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: the standard one and put it into easy Mode, and

870
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 1: then that will be a lot easier for her to use.

871
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 1: So I think that those are some good resources to

872
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 1: look for, and you know, one of those should probably

873
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:47,240
Speaker 1: help maybe replace the phone that she's got. Now. Thanks

874
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:50,239

Speaker 1: I know it's a lot, but it's all on the

00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: the transcript, which is my absolute favorite feature. It is

891
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 1: so cool. If you hit transcript and you search for something,

892
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 1: you're like, I know Rich said something about a dumb phone.

893
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:54,439
Speaker 1: You type in dumb and it will bring you right

894
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: to the section of the show where I mentioned the

895
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,760
Speaker 1: word dumb, and then it will also play that exact audio.

896
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 1: So it's all synced up. It is such a cool feature. Again,

897
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 1: Rich on tech dot TV when in your Belinda rode

898
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 1: In says, iPad, iPad Air, iPad ten or MacBook Air

899
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 1: M one which one to go for general browsing. Hmmm.

900
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:19,879
Speaker 1: We just went to the Apple Store yesterday to check

901
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 1: out the iPad air and the iPad ten. iPad ten

902
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 1: is getting a little old, but it's a good price.

903
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: Three point fifty. I'd wait for that price to come

904
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 1: down to about three hundred before I bought it. MacBook

905
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 1: Air is about six ninety nine. That's a little bit

906
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,760
Speaker 1: older the M one model, and then the iPad air five.

907
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: I think they're up to the six that might be

908
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,760
Speaker 1: the last model. iPad air is gonna be the most expensive,

909
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 1: But it kind of depends you're saying general browsing. Any

910
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,399
Speaker 1: of these are gonna work. They're all gonna work good

911
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 1: for Netflix for you know, if you're traveling, I'd go

912
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: with the iPad and if you're staying stationary, I go like,

913
00:48:57,719 --> 00:48:59,359
Speaker 1: if you're trying to do work as well, then I'd

914
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 1: go with the mac book care Hm, which one would

915
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 1: I pick? I'd probably go with the the iPad Air

916
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 1: because it's the newest out of these, and I think

917
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,799
Speaker 1: that you're gonna get the most use out of that.

918
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a little bit more expensive, but I

919
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 1: think that it'll be a little bit faster, a little

920
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: bit better than these other options because it has the

921
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: new M two chip. So that's probably what i'd go for. Yeah,

922
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 1: that's what I do. My kid, by the way, was

923
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:29,839
Speaker 1: like I couldn't believe how expensive the iPad was last night.

924
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: He was like, wait, what this thing is like six

925
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety nine dollars for the iPad. He was

926
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,720
Speaker 1: really rethinking then that the new one is much more expensive.

927
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 1: Let's see trying to see what version the iPad is

928
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: at this point. It doesn't Yeah, Apple is not good

929
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: about that. Let's go to Rick in Torrents. Rick, Rick,

930
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich.

931
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:53,320
Speaker 6: Rich. Let me get you off speaker.

932
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:55,320
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, got you.

933
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 6: I'm sixty nine years old and I've started to have

934
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 6: a little bit of heart issues, and I decided I

935
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 6: want a smart watch. But it seems like ninety percent

936
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 6: of the smart watch is focus more on people that

937
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:13,399
Speaker 6: are doing sports than your health. I was wondering if

938
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 6: you know which smart watch has the most as far

939
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 6: as monitoring your health.

940
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 1: What brand phone do you have because that makes a difference.

941
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:28,320
Speaker 6: Well, I've got a Google Pixel eight and I actually

942
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:31,240
Speaker 6: just got the pixel Watch too last week. Oh okay,

943
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 6: and I'm wondering if there's one that's going to give

944
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 6: me more medical information than this one does.

945
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 1: I think the pixel Watch is. The pixel Watch two specifically,

946
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 1: is pretty good. They've got the heart rate notifications and

947
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: they're also taking your heart rate at a much shorter interval,

948
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 1: so they're taking it much more often than some of

949
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,880
Speaker 1: the other smart watches out there, which is you know,

950
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 1: that's actually very handy if you are trying to monitor

951
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:03,280
Speaker 1: your heart So. Plus you've got fitbit, They've got Ai

952
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 1: coming soon, so you're gonna be able to ask it

953
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: all kinds of questions about your health. I think you've

954
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: got a good watch there. I think that that's probably

955
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 1: gonna be the best bet. Make sure you go through

956
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 1: the app and set up the uh all of the

957
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 1: heart rate notifications, so for high, for low, the fall,

958
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Just make sure you go through every

959
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:25,399
Speaker 1: single setting in the app and make sure all those

960
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 1: things are toggled on, because they may not have been

961
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 1: toggled on the first time you set them up. But Rick,

962
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 1: I think you got a good watch there. Pixel Watch

963
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 1: two has exactly what you need there. Eighty eight rich

Speaker 1: The website for the show rich on Tech dot TV.

971
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: Joining me now, C Scott Brown, Senior editor at Android Authority.

972
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,880
Speaker 1: He was at Google Io along with myself, So we

973
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 1: are going to discuss all of the Android developments at

974
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: the conference this year. Scott, thanks so much for joining me.

975
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:23,919
Speaker 11: Thank you very much. It's a pleasure to be here.

976
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 1: So the last caller was asking about the pixel Watch.

977
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 1: I know that you wear a pixel Watch. I was saying,

978
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 1: you know, do you like it? Do you think it's

979
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 1: good for the heart rate stuff? And your answer was

980
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 1: you like it?

981
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:38,840
Speaker 12: Yeah, I love it. I came from the Fitbit Sense,

982
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 12: which came out I think like three or four years

983
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,760
Speaker 12: ago now, and I kept holding on to the Sense

984
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 12: because there was nothing that had all the features of

985
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 12: the Sense and you know that was available, Like the

986
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 12: Sense did everything, and so the pixel Watch too is

987
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 12: now the only thing that actually does everything the original

988
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 12: Sense did, with the downside being battery life. The battery

989
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 12: life is not as good on the pixel watch Too

990
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 12: as it is on the Sense, but it has a

991
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:06,839
Speaker 12: lot more features and it looks better. It looks more

992
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 12: like a regular watch and stuff. So yeah, so I

993
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 12: love it.

994
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 1: And apparently with one of the announcements was that they're

995
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 1: making war os, I guess better battery efficiency, so maybe

996
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: the battery life will get better on that.

997
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:20,839
Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm hoping.

998
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some of the things. First off, you

999
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:26,399
Speaker 1: just your general impression of Google Io twenty twenty four

1000
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:28,280
Speaker 1: in general, what was your takeaway?

1001
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 12: It was a very different Io for a few reasons.

1002
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 12: The biggest one that I noticed was there was no hardware.

1003
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 12: Not one piece of hardware was announced, and that's not

1004
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:42,840
Speaker 12: like Io. Usually they announced at least something. In the past,

1005
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,720
Speaker 12: it's been the you know, the new A series Pixel,

1006
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,439
Speaker 12: but they launched that a week before Io this year,

1007
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:53,280
Speaker 12: and they've also teased hardware. They teased the Pixel tablet

1008
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 12: one year. They've done a lot of things like that

1009
00:53:56,200 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 12: and this just isn't just not this time. So I

1010
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 12: would noticed that first off. And then number two, it

1011
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:08,919
Speaker 12: really felt like Google was trying to speak to its

1012
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 12: shareholders more than speaking to the general public. I feel

1013
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 12: like Google was trying to say to its shareholders, Hey,

1014
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 12: we know we're under threat right now from a bunch

1015
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 12: of different companies, but don't worry.

1016
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 11: We got this. That's what I felt like the whole

1017
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:24,719
Speaker 11: show was like.

1018
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 1: And it didn't feel that reassuring because you know, they

1019
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:31,839
Speaker 1: had the open AI thing right before Google I owe,

1020
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:34,360
Speaker 1: and it's like Google, give us some like like I

1021
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 1: feel like with every show you have to have something

1022
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 1: like tangible that people can do like that day, Like

1023
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:41,239
Speaker 1: the takeaway is like, Okay, you can go to your

1024
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 1: you know, Google dot com and do this and it's

1025
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 1: really cool. But we did see a lot of neat things.

1026
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Android. So first off, one of the

1027
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 1: new features is private Space. Now, if you have a Samsung,

1028
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 1: you may be familiar with this concept of like what

1029
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 1: do they call like secure folder or something, but this

1030
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: explained this feature private space.

1031
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 12: So it it's a space where you can put apps

1032
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 12: that need an extra layer of security. So let's just

1033
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 12: say that you know someone who's shoulder surfed you. Shoulder

1034
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,080
Speaker 12: surfing is when someone looks over your shoulder and is

1035
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,800
Speaker 12: able to figure out your passcode because they've watched you

1036
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:17,800
Speaker 12: enter it a number of times. So somebody grabs your phone,

1037
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 12: they know your passcode, they enter your passcode, and then

1038
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:21,839
Speaker 12: they have full access.

1039
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:23,360
Speaker 11: To your higher phone. They can do anything.

1040
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:28,360
Speaker 12: And with private space in Android fifteen, what's going to

1041
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 12: happen is is that there will be some apps that

1042
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,879
Speaker 12: will be behind this private space locker and they'll need

1043
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 12: a different pass code to get into there. So it

1044
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 12: adds this extra layer protection to prevent somebody from being

1045
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:43,720
Speaker 12: able to access, for example, your banking app, or maybe

1046
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 12: a app that has private health information or your photos,

1047
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 12: whatever the case may be. It's a way to make

1048
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:51,799
Speaker 12: it so that they can't get into it, even if

1049
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 12: they get.

1050
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 11: Into your main phone.

1051
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 12: And what's really cool about this feature is that there's

1052
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 12: going to be what I'm calling a nuke button where

1053
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 12: you can hit a button in settings and it will

1054
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:04,720
Speaker 12: immediately erase your entire private space.

1055
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 11: So all the apps in there are just gone, oh wow.

1056
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 12: That's an extra cool layer of protection that they'll put

1057
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:14,319
Speaker 12: in there, so you know, if somebody rushes into your

1058
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 12: home or breaking into you or whatever whatever's happening, you

1059
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 12: can immediately hit this button delete all your important stuff

1060
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:21,400
Speaker 12: and then don't have to worry about that getting with

1061
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 12: the wrong hands.

1062
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:24,400
Speaker 1: And I imagine that also maybe for like if you're

1063
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 1: at the border and they want to, you know, confiscate

1064
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:28,799
Speaker 1: your phone if you're let's say you're a journalist or something.

1065
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:30,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, there's so many like different

1066
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 1: ways of looking at this. Some people may just want

1067
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 1: to hide some like you know, some apps if they

1068
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:37,399
Speaker 1: hand their phone to their kids that they don't want

1069
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:38,280
Speaker 1: their kids to have access.

1070
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 10: I mean.

1071
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 1: There's the nice thing is that this is available and

1072
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 1: it will be an Android feature, So that's really cool. Now,

1073
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:47,799
Speaker 1: this theft detection lock is a really interesting feature because

1074
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: we've heard so much about how people snatch phones out

1075
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:55,279
Speaker 1: of people's hands on like busy city streets and they

1076
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 1: catch them kind of like with the phone unlocked. And

1077
00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 1: so again, explain how this feature is going to work.

1078
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:02,720
Speaker 11: So this one is really cool. This was really exciting.

1079
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 12: Yeah, So if you're walking down a city street, you're

1080
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 12: on your phone, you're texting whatever. Somebody who rushes up

1081
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:10,839
Speaker 12: behind you, grabs your phone in your hands and runs off.

1082
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 11: Your phone is probably unlocked.

1083
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 12: It is probably open to something, you know, whether it

1084
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 12: be a messaging app or maybe your photos or camera

1085
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 12: or whatever. And now for the next you know, let's

1086
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 12: just say be to be to be fair, let's make

1087
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 12: thirty minutes. The next thirty minutes this person has access

1088
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:29,440
Speaker 12: to your phone because by the time you get to

1089
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 12: a place where you can remotely lock your phone, they

1090
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 12: have thirty minutes to do whatever they want. And so

1091
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 12: what this step protection lock will do is that it'll

1092
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 12: sense that your phone has been grabbed and run off

1093
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 12: with It'll use the sensors inside the phone to determine

1094
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 12: that the phone has been nabbed and then quickly sped

1095
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 12: somewhere else away from you, and then it'll just automatically

1096
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 12: lock down, making it so you have that time to

1097
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 12: go to your computer or your tablet and remotely wipe

1098
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 12: and lock your phone to do anything with it. Honestly,

1099
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 12: they'll still have your phone. You know, you can't get

1100
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 12: your phone back that way. But at the same time,

1101
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 12: you don't have to worry about them, you know, for example,

1102
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 12: messaging your mom and saying, hey, Mom, I'm in real mind,

1103
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 12: I need you to wire ten thousand dollars to this

1104
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 12: bitcoin address. You know, like that's something that could potentially

1105
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 12: happen if somebody had access to your phone for once

1106
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 12: again just that thirty minute window. So this is a

1107
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 12: really cool protection that I think is going to be

1108
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 12: something that people are really going to appreciate, especially if

1109
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:27,600
Speaker 12: they travel a lot.

1110
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and kind of building upon that, you're also going

1111
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 1: to be able to lock your phone now from a

1112
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:36,439
Speaker 1: third like any device, by going to like Android dot

1113
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 1: com sash slash lock. That's not live just yet, but

1114
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 1: you will be able to do that, cause like the

1115
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 1: idea is that you're with a friend maybe and you go, oh, shoot,

1116
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 1: my phone just got taken, like hurry up, give me

1117
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 1: your phone, let me lock my phone, And so you

1118
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 1: can also do that. And then the other thing they're

1119
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 1: doing is what what iPhone has had for many many

1120
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 1: years is this idea of an activation lock where even

1121
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:58,400
Speaker 1: if they wipe your phone clean, they will not be

1122
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 1: able to activate that phone on or a new account

1123
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 1: if it's still linked your Google account. Is that my understanding, Yeah, Yeah.

1124
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 12: That's basically just borrowed from from iOS. Yeah, and that's

1125
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 12: a bit of a double edged sword because it does

1126
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 12: it makes selling your phone a little more difficult, Like

1127
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 12: you have to go through a lot more steps to

1128
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 12: make sure that you know the person that you sold

1129
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 12: your phone to will actually be able to access it

1130
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 12: adetic password. So that's a bit of an inconvenience that

1131
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 12: people who sell their phones a lot are going to face.

1132
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 12: But in the broad scheme of things, I feel like

1133
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 12: it'll do more benefit than anything else.

1134
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 1: So anything else that they announced that really was interesting

1135
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 1: to you, anything else you want to talk about that

1136
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 1: was you know, made public.

1137
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 12: As it pertains to Android, I was excited to see

1138
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 12: that Android fifteen is getting more beta's released to other devices,

1139
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 12: other manufacturers, you know. For the past since February, basically

1140
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,919
Speaker 12: anyone with a pixel phone, a recent thing phone has

1141
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:03,440
Speaker 12: been able to try out Android fifteen at its various

1142
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 12: stages of development and all that. But up until I own,

1143
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 12: anyone with a non pixel phone didn't have that option.

1144
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 12: And now there's a lot more manufacturers with their own

1145
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 12: betas out. So if you have a phone from one plus,

1146
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 12: show me nothing. Bunch of other Android manufacturers, you can

1147
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 12: now give Android fifteen a shot, assuming that you have

1148
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 12: a recent phone.

1149
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:26,960
Speaker 11: It's only available for the recent flagships.

1150
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 12: Yeah, and then I would expect maybe in the next

1151
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 12: month or two we'll start seeing Samsung having its own beta,

1152
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:34,000
Speaker 12: so that'll be really exciting too.

1153
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 1: I was going to say, with the notable exception being Samsung,

1154
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 1: because they have such a different system on their phones

1155
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:43,080
Speaker 1: that it's not easily like half the stuff that comes out,

1156
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 1: and Android has already been on Samsung before it makes

1157
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:49,400
Speaker 1: its way to Android, which is kind of ironic. All right,

1158
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 1: We're going to leave it there. See Scott Brown, how

1159
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:53,320

Speaker 1: give me a call. The The website is rich on

1181
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 1: Tech dot tv. Just got an email from Hugo. We've

1182
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 1: been going back and forth about the Sonos app. Soos

1183
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 1: recently updated their app, and I'm telling you, I've never

1184
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 1: seen something ruin a piece of technology like this in

1185
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 1: my entire life. I've got Sons speakers in every room.

1186
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 1: Took me ten years to kind of build that collection up,

1187
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:31,440
Speaker 1: and I love it because I always have something on

1188
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 1: and I love how you can group them and you know,

1189
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 1: listen to all the different services whatever you want. And

1190
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:39,240
Speaker 1: this new app update, I think it came out in

1191
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 1: like May seventh. I can't even use my system anymore.

1192
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 1: It's horrible. I mean, really really bad. What do I

1193
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 1: say at the beginning of the show? I think that

1194
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:54,120
Speaker 1: tech should be interesting, useful, and fun. It's certainly interesting.

1195
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:58,480
Speaker 1: The changes that they've made for the worst useful, they

1196
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 1: get a big zero fun. It took all the fun

1197
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:04,520
Speaker 1: out of listening to any music in my home. So

1198
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 1: let's see the email that they sent to him. He

1199
01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 1: forwarded me this email that son No says they've received

1200
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 1: a great deal of feedback thus far on both the

1201
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:19,760
Speaker 1: improvements made as well as where we fell short. They're

1202
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:21,920
Speaker 1: working on going through it all in the coming weeks.

1203
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:24,240
Speaker 1: There's more work that needs to be done on the sonosapp,

1204
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 1: and we want to provide an update. They already introduced

1205
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 1: a software update on the fourteenth. But I'm telling you,

1206
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 1: I'm ready to toss my system out. I can't even

1207
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 1: change a volume on this thing, it's that bad. So

1208
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 1: hopefully they will continue to refine and make my system

1209
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:41,479
Speaker 1: useful again. I know if you have a son Nos

1210
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 1: you are probably feeling the same thing. The systems are there,

1211
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 1: it's just everything has been changed. I kind of feel

1212
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 1: like the woman who called in Kathy about the volume

1213
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 1: button being moved that's the way I feel at my sons.

1214
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 1: Let's go to Linda in Burbank. Linda, you're on with rich.

1215
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, I remember hearing U two three weeks ago

1216
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 8: a man calling in saying how they want to, you know,

1217
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 8: do away with the landlines. Yes, and you know in

1218
01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 8: my situation about a couple that shoots a weeks ago? Yeah, no,

1219
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:23,520
Speaker 8: months ago, my cell phone went out on me. It

1220
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 8: wasn't working and.

1221
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 4: I had to have my use by landline.

1222
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 8: To call my cell phone company. Now, if I didn't

1223
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:34,200
Speaker 8: hear my landline, i'd be at the crank.

1224
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:39,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's definitely an issue. So you you have a

1225
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 1: landline in Bourbank Conley? Is still interesting? Okay? You know,

1226
01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:45,680
Speaker 1: so AT and T, who's the who's the company that

1227
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 1: provides the landline?

1228
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 8: AH and T?

1229
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 1: And how much do they charge you a month for that?

1230
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 4: Oh?

1231
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:55,320
Speaker 9: I don't recall right now, well I really don't.

1232
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:58,400
Speaker 1: So the big issue here is that AT and T.

1233
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:01,760
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, Linda, pre siate it. The big

1234
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:05,960
Speaker 1: issue is that AT and T in California wants to

1235
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:11,080
Speaker 1: end its designation as what's called a cooler col R

1236
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 1: Carrier of Last Resort. What they're saying is that right

1237
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:18,360
Speaker 1: now in these places that don't have an alternative to landlines,

1238
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:23,200
Speaker 1: AT and T is the specified carrier of last resort

1239
01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:27,240
Speaker 1: and they have to maintain those lines until there is

1240
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:31,600
Speaker 1: an alternative. And so they have petitioned the California Public

1241
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:34,880
Speaker 1: Utilities Commission to say, look, can we just drop this

1242
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 1: whole carrier of last resort thing? We'd rather not keep

1243
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:42,440
Speaker 1: these lines up and running because they're too expensive and

1244
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 1: we just don't feel like it. And actually, this week

1245
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 1: a judge at the California Public Utilities Commission is actually

1246
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:55,440
Speaker 1: saying they recommend rejecting this AT and T request. The

1247
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 1: reason they said, there's no other carrier to replace AT

1248
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:03,160
Speaker 1: and T there in its wireline territory. And they also

1249
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:05,240
Speaker 1: went as far as saying that AT and T is

1250
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 1: going around saying that they have to maintain these outdated

1251
01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:10,960
Speaker 1: copper lines because of this ruling. California says, no, we

1252
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 1: don't have a rule that says you have to maintain

1253
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 1: these copper lines. What we do have a rule that

1254
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 1: says that you need to have some sort of way

1255
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:20,920
Speaker 1: for these people to get in touch with other folks.

1256
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 1: You can replace these lines with fiber. You can replace

1257
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:28,520
Speaker 1: them with something else. And so there's a little bit

1258
01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 1: of a back and forth here with what the exact

1259
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:37,320
Speaker 1: rules are. And so the reality is that, you know,

1260
01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:41,200
Speaker 1: and I understand Linda's you know, she's saying that if

1261
01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 1: she didn't have her cell phone, she or her land lines,

1262
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: she wouldn't be able to call her carrier. The number

1263
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 1: one thing to know that if your phone is not working,

1264
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 1: no matter what in the US, you can use a

1265
01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:55,000
Speaker 1: cell phone to dial nine one one as long as

1266
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 1: that cell phone is operable, and even if it doesn't

1267
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:01,040
Speaker 1: have a plan on it, if it can catch a signal,

1268
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:03,440
Speaker 1: it will work on any of the major wireless carrier

1269
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:07,320
Speaker 1: signals to dial nine one one. So in a true emergency, yes,

1270
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:09,040
Speaker 1: you would be able to dial nine one one, even

1271
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 1: if your phone signal is you know, if your phone

1272
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:15,600
Speaker 1: isn't connected whatever you know is having some sort of issue. Now,

1273
01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:18,560
Speaker 1: if if the signals are down, yes that'd be a problem.

1274
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:21,480
Speaker 1: But if even if you don't have a phone like activated,

1275
01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:23,920
Speaker 1: it will still call nine one one. That's number one.

1276
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:29,640
Speaker 1: Other countries don't have that rule. Number two. I understand

1277
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:32,800
Speaker 1: the idea of these wirelines and people like them, and

1278
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:36,640
Speaker 1: people like them for emergencies, but the idea that the

1279
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 1: cell phone is not as reliable maybe in certain places

1280
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 1: if you don't have a signal, Like sure, I understand that,

1281
01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:45,600
Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to say that there should be

1282
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:48,440
Speaker 1: no requirement that you have to have some sort of carrier.

1283
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 1: That's why they're called a carrier of last resort because

1284
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:55,280
Speaker 1: people living these areas don't have an alternative. What California

1285
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 1: is saying is that we don't really care what the

1286
01:07:56,840 --> 01:08:00,040
Speaker 1: alternative is, whether that's a voipe line, whether it's a

1287
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:03,520
Speaker 1: cell phone line, whether it's an Internet line, like, but

1288
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:06,760
Speaker 1: you need an alternative. You can't just have these people

1289
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:09,760
Speaker 1: left high and dry without any way to dial their

1290
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 1: friends or family or emergencies. And so I understand, Linda's

1291
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:17,920
Speaker 1: in a populated area in Burbank, So I understand that,

1292
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:19,280
Speaker 1: you know, if you needed to, you can walk to

1293
01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:22,559
Speaker 1: your neighbor and get some help that way. But some

1294
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:25,840
Speaker 1: people live in very rural areas that really don't have

1295
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:29,000
Speaker 1: any alternative. The good news is we are seeing a

1296
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:33,000
Speaker 1: lot of other options open up, something like a starlink,

1297
01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:37,160
Speaker 1: which is satellite based, which is really really good, and

1298
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 1: so we're just seeing more options. But again this idea

1299
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:43,880
Speaker 1: of the landline is going away. It will go away eventually,

1300
01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:46,360
Speaker 1: and we are seeing more and more of these companies

1301
01:08:46,400 --> 01:08:50,200
Speaker 1: that provide landlines charge higher fees and also just try

1302
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:51,960
Speaker 1: to get rid of them for all of those reasons.

1303
01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:57,280
Speaker 1: Ah okay, what else? Eighty to a bridge one O

1304
01:08:57,400 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight seven four to two four one

1305
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:03,920
Speaker 1: zero one is the website. If you like what I

1306
01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:06,519
Speaker 1: do on the radio show here, I suggest that you

1307
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:08,679
Speaker 1: check out the website because I do have more information

1308
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 1: on there about what I mentioned here. I've got my newsletter.

1309
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 1: Let's see what I mentioned in the newsletter this week.

1310
01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:17,200
Speaker 1: A couple things that I think are interesting. I talk

1311
01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:20,120
Speaker 1: about the AI wars. Obviously, I have all the stories

1312
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:22,880
Speaker 1: that I did for TV, so you can watch my

1313
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 1: video from Google Open AI. I talk about how to

1314
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:31,640
Speaker 1: handle data breaches. I look at some the one my

1315
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:33,960
Speaker 1: wife watched this morning. I have the whole newsletter. The

1316
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:37,320
Speaker 1: one she watches is the high Tech cat Accessories. She

1317
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:41,080
Speaker 1: got a kick out of seeing that I've got the

1318
01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:45,040
Speaker 1: tech tidbits. So I talk about the best way to

1319
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:46,479
Speaker 1: send a fact. I know you don't have to send

1320
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 1: a fact very often, but my favorite service dropbox facts

1321
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:53,519
Speaker 1: did win Wirecutters test of the best fact services, and

1322
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:55,559
Speaker 1: it is free if you're only sending a few a month.

1323
01:09:57,240 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 1: Answer a question about how to scan your photos. I

1324
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:01,880
Speaker 1: talk about the best photo scanners if you want to

1325
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:03,720
Speaker 1: do it yourself or send it out. So it's all

1326
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:06,840
Speaker 1: the website. Rich on Tech dot TV more rich on

1327
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:12,360
Speaker 1: Tech coming your way right after this. Welcome back to

1328
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:15,920
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. Rich Demiro coming your way for another

1329
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:20,679
Speaker 1: hour at eight eight eight rich one oh one. That's

1330
01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:24,439
Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero

1331
01:10:24,479 --> 01:10:29,040
Speaker 1: one coming up this hour. We're talking to Jenny Blackburn.

1332
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:34,519
Speaker 1: She is with Google in charge of Gemini and uh,

1333
01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:38,840
Speaker 1: she's gonna explain basically how to use Google Gemini's AI assistant.

1334
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:42,559
Speaker 1: You've heard of chat GPT. This is Google's answer to

1335
01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:46,000
Speaker 1: chat GBT. It is quite helpful. It has one key

1336
01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:51,080
Speaker 1: advantage and that is, of course the depth and breadth breadth.

1337
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:55,599
Speaker 1: How do you say that word breadth bread You got

1338
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:57,879
Speaker 1: to put the D in there. I guess of Google

1339
01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:02,800
Speaker 1: knowledge and so it does have like real time information

1340
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:06,120
Speaker 1: and it's it's pretty good. It's just very different than

1341
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:09,599
Speaker 1: Open AI. She's gonna explain about that. I was talking

1342
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:12,479
Speaker 1: about the pixel eight a earlier. If you want to

1343
01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:14,760
Speaker 1: see some of the pictures I captured on it. This

1344
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:18,760
Speaker 1: is Google's brand new four hundred and ninety nine dollars smartphone.

1345
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:22,720
Speaker 1: I've got it right here. It is a great size.

1346
01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:25,760
Speaker 1: It's really small and like compact, so if you like

1347
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:29,680
Speaker 1: a smaller phone, it's really nice for that. It is.

1348
01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:32,839
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's just very googly. So the software

1349
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:37,680
Speaker 1: is really clean, it's very simple. And the cameras I

1350
01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:40,360
Speaker 1: would say the camera is good. I wouldn't say it's excellent.

1351
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:43,320
Speaker 1: I think for point and shoot, like everyday pictures, they're

1352
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 1: gonna look really good. But if you want to see

1353
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:47,760
Speaker 1: some of the pictures that I took on them, you

1354
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:50,960
Speaker 1: can go to my Instagram at rich on Tech. Check

1355
01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:54,000
Speaker 1: out the Instagram stories. That's where I posted. Last night.

1356
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:55,840
Speaker 1: We went to the movies. We saw that movie If

1357
01:11:56,600 --> 01:12:00,920
Speaker 1: and No, that's the whole movie name If, and we

1358
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:03,120
Speaker 1: took some pictures and so you can kind of see,

1359
01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:06,240
Speaker 1: like what the camera looks like. I think it's very

1360
01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 1: good for four hundred and ninety nine dollars, and it's

1361
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:10,559
Speaker 1: going to be even cheaper. I'm expecting, you know, when

1362
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:13,080
Speaker 1: it goes on sale or discounted. I think that's a great,

1363
01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:16,519
Speaker 1: great device, especially the clean software for Android. Usually the

1364
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:20,120
Speaker 1: cheaper you go with the devices, the more bloatwear, the

1365
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:23,519
Speaker 1: lesser specs, things just slow down quickly. I don't think

1366
01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:25,160
Speaker 1: that's the case with the Pixel. Oh and did I

1367
01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:29,120
Speaker 1: mention it'll get seven years of software updates. So you

1368
01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:32,320
Speaker 1: buy this thing today and if you like to keep

1369
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:33,960
Speaker 1: your phone for a long time, you can keep that

1370
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:39,879
Speaker 1: phone for seven years. That's pretty incredible. Been testing a website.

1371
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:42,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if I mentioned this on last week's show,

1372
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:45,880
Speaker 1: but it's called Simply Codes. So if you're looking for

1373
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:50,200
Speaker 1: promo codes that actually work, this is it. I have

1374
01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:52,519
Speaker 1: switched to this on my computer and I'm not kidding.

1375
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:54,960
Speaker 1: I've been using it for the past two weeks or so.

1376
01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:59,519
Speaker 1: It is really really good. It's called simply Codes. Let

1377
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:03,160
Speaker 1: me just make sure. Yeah, simplycodes dot com and you

1378
01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:05,559
Speaker 1: download it's you know, you can search for the codes

1379
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:09,120
Speaker 1: on the website. You can download the extension on your

1380
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:14,519
Speaker 1: Chrome browser and it's quite incredible. I'm telling you, the

1381
01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:16,960
Speaker 1: codes that I've gotten on this thing have worked almost

1382
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:19,240
Speaker 1: every single time. How many times have you you know,

1383
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:22,080
Speaker 1: you get to the checkout at the website you're making

1384
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:25,680
Speaker 1: a you know, a purchase, and it says, oh, enter

1385
01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:27,439
Speaker 1: your promo code. You go, what, Well, now that I

1386
01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:29,840
Speaker 1: know there's a promo code option, there's got to be

1387
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:32,880
Speaker 1: a promo code out there. And you start searching promo

1388
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:36,640
Speaker 1: code whatever website name, and you start typing in these

1389
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:39,840
Speaker 1: random codes. Nine times out of ten they never ever work.

1390
01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:42,960
Speaker 1: And so if you want a code that actually works,

1391
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:46,840
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this Simply Codes. I think in my

1392
01:13:46,960 --> 01:13:50,240
Speaker 1: experience it has saved me money. It actually does work.

1393
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:53,639
Speaker 1: So if you want to sign up for Simply Codes,

1394
01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:56,240
Speaker 1: you can just go to their website and tell me

1395
01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:58,679
Speaker 1: what you think. I think it's pretty good. They say

1396
01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:02,320
Speaker 1: that they just came out this new like AI powered

1397
01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:05,240
Speaker 1: system this week, and that's why they say they have

1398
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:08,799
Speaker 1: tens of They scan tens of thousands of codes daily

1399
01:14:09,560 --> 01:14:13,760
Speaker 1: to provide the most relevant and reliable author offers. You

1400
01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:16,519
Speaker 1: can also submit your own promo codes via the app.

1401
01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:19,040
Speaker 1: You can like take a screenshot of a promo code

1402
01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:20,880
Speaker 1: that you get and it will kind of slice and

1403
01:14:20,960 --> 01:14:23,320
Speaker 1: dice and get all the information out there. So I

1404
01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:26,479
Speaker 1: takes a lot for me to like switch from what

1405
01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:30,479
Speaker 1: I was using before, which was Honey, and I still

1406
01:14:30,479 --> 01:14:33,719
Speaker 1: think Honey is good. Oh the one downside of simply

1407
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:37,120
Speaker 1: Codes so Honey will try all the codes for you.

1408
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:39,360
Speaker 1: This one does not try the codes. You have to

1409
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:41,760
Speaker 1: copy and paste them in, so it's like a little

1410
01:14:41,760 --> 01:14:44,880
Speaker 1: bit extra work. But in my experience, like the couple

1411
01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:47,600
Speaker 1: times I've used it, it's the codes have worked like

1412
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:50,160
Speaker 1: right off the bat. So the first time I pasted

1413
01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:53,320
Speaker 1: one in it worked. So anyway, again, the website simplycodes

1414
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:55,519
Speaker 1: dot com. I'll put the link online. Just go to

1415
01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:57,720
Speaker 1: Rich on tech dot tv, hit the light bulb and

1416
01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:00,760
Speaker 1: you can get the show notes. I also wanted to

1417
01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:05,280
Speaker 1: mention this. So I love to listen to articles because

1418
01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:07,960
Speaker 1: I read a lot, but sometimes my eyes are just

1419
01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:09,800
Speaker 1: tired and I'm like, you know what, can you read

1420
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:12,479
Speaker 1: this to me? And so there's a couple ways, and

1421
01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:14,280
Speaker 1: I mentioned this in my newsletter this week, a couple

1422
01:15:14,280 --> 01:15:17,639
Speaker 1: of ways to listen to articles. So there's a brand

1423
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:20,040
Speaker 1: new app this week. I know it's iOS only, so

1424
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:22,240
Speaker 1: if you have Android, please do not come after me.

1425
01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:25,400
Speaker 1: But hopefully they'll come out with an Android version soon.

1426
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:27,720
Speaker 1: But I will go through some options that you can

1427
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:30,719
Speaker 1: get on Android. But this is a new app called

1428
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:36,280
Speaker 1: eleven Labs Reader. So if you go to the app

1429
01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:39,800
Speaker 1: store on iOS and I'll tell you exactly what to

1430
01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:42,080
Speaker 1: type in to search for this. Okay, it's coming up,

1431
01:15:42,120 --> 01:15:46,800
Speaker 1: eleven labs Reader AI Audio. Type that in. It only

1432
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:49,320
Speaker 1: has fifteen ratings. That's how new this app is. It

1433
01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:52,600
Speaker 1: just came out this week. It's like secret basically. But

1434
01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:57,360
Speaker 1: eleven Labs is an incredible AI company and they do

1435
01:15:57,439 --> 01:16:01,519
Speaker 1: AI voices, so beach to text. That's what their whole

1436
01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:05,320
Speaker 1: game is. And this app is basically a proof of

1437
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:08,760
Speaker 1: concept for their AI voices. So you can paste in

1438
01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:11,320
Speaker 1: any text you want. You can paste in a link

1439
01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:14,120
Speaker 1: to an article, you can upload an entire PDF and

1440
01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:17,880
Speaker 1: it will read the entire thing to you. Again, it's

1441
01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:22,600
Speaker 1: called eleven Labs Reader AI Audio and it's excellent. I

1442
01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:25,200
Speaker 1: use it yesterday at the gym to just listen to

1443
01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of articles that were on my list.

1444
01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:30,640
Speaker 1: And I will tell you, because it's new there, it

1445
01:16:30,680 --> 01:16:32,320
Speaker 1: was down for a little bit. I think so many

1446
01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:35,479
Speaker 1: people are like discovering this that it's kind of of course,

1447
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:37,400
Speaker 1: now that I mention it, it'll probably be even worse,

1448
01:16:37,479 --> 01:16:39,400
Speaker 1: but at least you'll have it on your phone. It

1449
01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:42,120
Speaker 1: was like an hour yesterday where it didn't work properly,

1450
01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:45,559
Speaker 1: but then it worked again now if you want to.

1451
01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:48,120
Speaker 1: By the way, the voices are so high quality. You

1452
01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:49,880
Speaker 1: can pick from like a whole bunch of different voices

1453
01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:52,240
Speaker 1: on there. You can pick one that you like and

1454
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:54,840
Speaker 1: it just reads the text to you. It's really really good.

1455
01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:58,479
Speaker 1: So the other options if you want a speech to text,

1456
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:03,360
Speaker 1: these are all Pocket, poc k et Pocket. What they

1457
01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:05,320
Speaker 1: can do is really cool is you put you put

1458
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:07,719
Speaker 1: your articles in there and then it will read them

1459
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:09,960
Speaker 1: in succession. So it can just go through your reading

1460
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:11,120
Speaker 1: list and just read them.

1461
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:12,240
Speaker 10: Now.

1462
01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:15,120
Speaker 1: The audio is not as high quality as something like

1463
01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:18,559
Speaker 1: eleven Labs, but it's still it's totally free. It works,

1464
01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:20,639
Speaker 1: and it's really good. And Pocket is just a great

1465
01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:25,080
Speaker 1: way to save articles to read later in general. So

1466
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:26,920
Speaker 1: if you're like me, where you're coming across a bunch

1467
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:29,360
Speaker 1: of stuff throughout the day, some things are really short,

1468
01:17:29,439 --> 01:17:32,439
Speaker 1: you can tackle them right away. Some things are much longer.

1469
01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:34,040
Speaker 1: You want to read them maybe on a plane or

1470
01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:35,599
Speaker 1: when you have a minute to sit on your couch.

1471
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:39,400
Speaker 1: Pocket is a great app for that. So that will

1472
01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:42,880
Speaker 1: also read your articles out now a premium version of

1473
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:45,200
Speaker 1: this whole thing is called speech a FI, and I

1474
01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:47,240
Speaker 1: might have mentioned this on the radio show a couple

1475
01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 1: weeks ago, but speech a PI is again they use

1476
01:17:51,200 --> 01:17:55,080
Speaker 1: AI voices. The thing is, you can use this app

1477
01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:57,800
Speaker 1: for free, but if you pay, you get the highest

1478
01:17:57,880 --> 01:18:00,920
Speaker 1: quality voices, and it's good. The only thing I've noticed

1479
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 1: about speech a fy the downside is that sometimes they

1480
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:06,960
Speaker 1: don't completely skip all the nonsense in an article, Like

1481
01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:09,280
Speaker 1: if you put an article in there, it may still

1482
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:12,040
Speaker 1: read like, I don't know, just different things that it

1483
01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:14,920
Speaker 1: should have cleared out. Like eleven Labs does a really

1484
01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:17,599
Speaker 1: good job of just isolating the article, and so does Pocket.

1485
01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:20,280
Speaker 1: Speech a FI needs to learn a little bit better

1486
01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:23,120
Speaker 1: about how to isolate just the article text. But that's

1487
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:25,439
Speaker 1: a good one and you can. You've got to pay

1488
01:18:25,479 --> 01:18:28,320
Speaker 1: if you want like the best features. It's a freemium

1489
01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:32,760
Speaker 1: version of things completely free on Android. This is excellent.

1490
01:18:33,439 --> 01:18:38,280
Speaker 1: Is called Google Reading Mode, and this is an accessibility feature,

1491
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 1: but it's really really handy and it reads in a

1492
01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:43,439
Speaker 1: really nice way. You can set a shortcut so you

1493
01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:45,160
Speaker 1: can either have an icon on your screen all the

1494
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:47,599
Speaker 1: time and anything you're listening you're looking at on your

1495
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:50,479
Speaker 1: Android screen. You can just tap this reading mode and

1496
01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:52,479
Speaker 1: it will start reading whatever's on the screen to you.

1497
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:55,840
Speaker 1: It also displays it in a nice easy to way,

1498
01:18:56,320 --> 01:19:00,880
Speaker 1: easy to read version. And again that's called good Reading Mode.

1499
01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:04,759
Speaker 1: That's for Android. It's completely free. It's an accessibility feature

1500
01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:07,559
Speaker 1: and it works really well. I have mindset on the

1501
01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:10,880
Speaker 1: Samsung where if I'm on an article on a page,

1502
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:13,280
Speaker 1: all I have to do is swipe up with two

1503
01:19:13,320 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 1: fingers from the bottom of the screen and it immediately

1504
01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:19,600
Speaker 1: puts my phone into this Android reading mode. And so

1505
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:23,559
Speaker 1: you can see that, you know, I've got this article up. Actually,

1506
01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:25,519
Speaker 1: let me bring up like a real article, because that

1507
01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:28,160
Speaker 1: was just a tweet that I brought up. Okay, so

1508
01:19:28,280 --> 01:19:33,800
Speaker 1: let's go to This is Stephen and Wired. So I

1509
01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:35,720
Speaker 1: bring up the two little swipes and now I can

1510
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 1: just press play and immediately it's going to start reading

1511
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:42,960
Speaker 1: this article. Probably put my volume up here. So there

1512
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:43,160
Speaker 1: you go.

1513
01:19:43,240 --> 01:19:45,719
Speaker 11: Close of demos from open Ai and Google that started

1514
01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:47,920
Speaker 11: the week's show. There's plenty more disruption to come.

1515
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:49,840
Speaker 1: So there you can get a little idea of the voice.

1516
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:52,879
Speaker 1: You can change the text, you can make it faster

1517
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:57,720
Speaker 1: or slower. And then Safari has something called listen to page.

1518
01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:02,880
Speaker 1: So if you're on Safari on the iPhone and you

1519
01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:06,320
Speaker 1: tap reader mode, they have a little way that you

1520
01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:08,920
Speaker 1: can use just it'll just read the page to you.

1521
01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:12,559
Speaker 1: And so again you go into the reader mode and

1522
01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:16,360
Speaker 1: then it just says tap AA, then tap listen to

1523
01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:20,400
Speaker 1: page and it'll just read the page to you. And

1524
01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:23,160
Speaker 1: the other thing is if you're anywhere on your iPhone,

1525
01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:25,639
Speaker 1: you could just ask Siri to read this. So all

1526
01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:28,519
Speaker 1: you have to say is you know, hey, Siri, read this,

1527
01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:30,519
Speaker 1: or I want to listen to this page. And of

1528
01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:32,519
Speaker 1: course I just activated every iPhone in front of me.

1529
01:20:33,760 --> 01:20:35,360
Speaker 1: But again, these are the kind of things. I mentioned

1530
01:20:35,439 --> 01:20:37,360

Speaker 1: Tech coming your way right after this. Welcome back to

1545
01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:27,000
Speaker 1: rich On Tech. Let's go to uh John in uh Utica?

1546
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:28,439
Speaker 1: Is that? Am I saying that?

1547
01:21:28,520 --> 01:21:28,680
Speaker 10: Right?

1548
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:29,559
Speaker 1: Utica? New York?

1549
01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:30,320
Speaker 4: Yes?

1550
01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:32,160
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, I feel like I should know that I

1551
01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:34,559
Speaker 1: grew up in New Jersey and I've been there and

1552
01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:40,479
Speaker 1: uh yeah, isn't it like a college there, university there?

1553
01:21:40,560 --> 01:21:42,479
Speaker 1: You go, I've been there, so I should know how

1554
01:21:42,479 --> 01:21:44,400
Speaker 1: to say that. Oh my gosh. But see, you know

1555
01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:47,720
Speaker 1: sometimes you just forget stuff when you get older. How

1556
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:48,200
Speaker 1: can I help?

1557
01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:52,840
Speaker 9: I've got too hopefully short questions. The first one is

1558
01:21:52,880 --> 01:21:57,640
Speaker 9: when I upload a file to a backup cloud services,

1559
01:21:57,680 --> 01:21:59,759
Speaker 9: the date of the file changes.

1560
01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:02,160
Speaker 1: Why does it change?

1561
01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:06,759
Speaker 9: Because that's when it was received by the backup service.

1562
01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:07,599
Speaker 1: Okay.

1563
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:10,880
Speaker 9: You know when you when you look at a file

1564
01:22:10,960 --> 01:22:12,920
Speaker 9: that shows its name and then to the right of

1565
01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:14,320
Speaker 9: it usually is a date.

1566
01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:16,960
Speaker 1: Right, okay, got it?

1567
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:20,880
Speaker 9: When you upload that bit surprised you haven't run into

1568
01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:25,160
Speaker 9: that problem no matter who I call out anything. Uh,

1569
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:27,880
Speaker 9: they it's dated at the time that they got it,

1570
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:29,240
Speaker 9: not when it was created.

1571
01:22:29,560 --> 01:22:31,800
Speaker 1: Okay, creation date, Okay, got it.

1572
01:22:34,280 --> 01:22:37,400
Speaker 9: So so my question is, you know a lot of

1573
01:22:37,479 --> 01:22:42,000
Speaker 9: my files are important with that date, stand which disappears

1574
01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:43,879
Speaker 9: if it's sent tobacco.

1575
01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:47,360
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, so I use drop Box. I'm trying

1576
01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:49,479
Speaker 1: to think, let me look in there and see what

1577
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:52,240
Speaker 1: happens when I upload a file. So if I put

1578
01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:57,680
Speaker 1: a file into Dropbox, it typically has a couple of

1579
01:22:57,680 --> 01:23:00,679
Speaker 1: different ways to look at those files. So I'm looking

1580
01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:04,960
Speaker 1: at the modified Okay, so there's modified, and then there's size,

1581
01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:06,960
Speaker 1: and then there's a let's see there. I thought there

1582
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:09,360
Speaker 1: was a way to like look at different Okay, there

1583
01:23:09,360 --> 01:23:14,320
Speaker 1: you go. So you've got show modified type extension. Yeah,

1584
01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:17,160
Speaker 1: just mine just says modified, so that I guess would

1585
01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:19,559
Speaker 1: be the creation date. But doesn't the actual file have

1586
01:23:19,640 --> 01:23:21,599
Speaker 1: some metadata in it that would tell you when it

1587
01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:23,640
Speaker 1: was What are you trying to do? What are you

1588
01:23:23,640 --> 01:23:25,439
Speaker 1: trying to figure out which files to get rid of

1589
01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:28,000
Speaker 1: or what? You know? What are you trying to do

1590
01:23:28,040 --> 01:23:30,240
Speaker 1: with this with these files?

1591
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:35,360
Speaker 9: Because they were taking a specific date and probably had

1592
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:39,160
Speaker 9: a specific place, that's important for me to keep track

1593
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:39,479
Speaker 9: of it.

1594
01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:43,760
Speaker 1: Okay, So when you look, when you drill down into

1595
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:46,120
Speaker 1: the kind of the metadata of the file, it should

1596
01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:49,880
Speaker 1: have a created date and a modified date? Do they do?

1597
01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:50,640
Speaker 1: They not have that?

1598
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:55,080
Speaker 9: How how do I easily get into that data info?

1599
01:23:56,120 --> 01:23:57,519
Speaker 1: So if you're looking at the file, are you on

1600
01:23:57,640 --> 01:23:59,000
Speaker 1: Windows or a Mac?

1601
01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:02,520
Speaker 9: I'm using the Total Commander?

1602
01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:07,280
Speaker 1: Okay, so I would I would just whatever you can

1603
01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:09,320
Speaker 1: do to write click, you know, to like get info

1604
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:11,599
Speaker 1: for the file. That's what I would do and see

1605
01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:13,320
Speaker 1: if that has like a different date.

1606
01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:19,400
Speaker 9: But it's funny you're saying that the Windows built in

1607
01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:22,080
Speaker 9: file commander will show meta data.

1608
01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:25,400
Speaker 1: It should if you're looking at the data like the

1609
01:24:25,439 --> 01:24:29,040
Speaker 1: info and the file. Yeah, I don't have a I

1610
01:24:29,040 --> 01:24:29,519
Speaker 1: don't have that.

1611
01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:32,240
Speaker 9: So it's so I'll try that.

1612
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:36,280
Speaker 10: Oh you know.

1613
01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:38,760
Speaker 9: One way I found to overcome that is is it

1614
01:24:38,960 --> 01:24:42,200
Speaker 9: a file first, and then when it goes into the

1615
01:24:42,240 --> 01:24:46,040
Speaker 9: backup service or in the correct data is there? You know,

1616
01:24:46,280 --> 01:24:47,639
Speaker 9: the original data is there?

1617
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:51,040
Speaker 1: Oh right, Okay, that's now. What what are you doing

1618
01:24:51,040 --> 01:24:52,679
Speaker 1: with these files? Are they kind of like a backup

1619
01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:54,240
Speaker 1: of your system? Or is it a backup of like

1620
01:24:54,240 --> 01:24:55,800
Speaker 1: a photo or what? What are they.

1621
01:24:57,560 --> 01:24:58,000
Speaker 9: All of that?

1622
01:24:58,080 --> 01:24:58,280
Speaker 4: Deal.

1623
01:24:58,400 --> 01:24:59,880
Speaker 1: Okay u.

1624
01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:05,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, system data, I do not back up because maybe

1625
01:25:05,120 --> 01:25:07,400
Speaker 9: that needs to keep its original date. You never know

1626
01:25:07,520 --> 01:25:11,439
Speaker 9: what the most kind of files, but my personal data

1627
01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:14,240
Speaker 9: files photos of crips. You know, if you if they

1628
01:25:14,280 --> 01:25:17,040
Speaker 9: find a photo and they were saying, do you have

1629
01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:18,799
Speaker 9: no idea when that photo was taken?

1630
01:25:19,479 --> 01:25:22,160
Speaker 1: Well that should be in the metadata of the picture itself,

1631
01:25:22,200 --> 01:25:24,600
Speaker 1: like the file. So if you're looking at that picture,

1632
01:25:25,320 --> 01:25:28,320
Speaker 1: there should be metadata that's that's saying when that picture

1633
01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:33,000
Speaker 1: was taken. That's that's kind of embedded in the file

1634
01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:36,080
Speaker 1: and you can look at if you download an app,

1635
01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:38,559
Speaker 1: that's the EXIF data e x if. Have you heard

1636
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:41,640
Speaker 1: of that term? Right, so that you should you know,

1637
01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:43,400
Speaker 1: you should be able to view the exif data for

1638
01:25:43,479 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 1: that photo. But again I would in Windows, you know,

1639
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:49,400
Speaker 1: if you if you write click and you know, do

1640
01:25:49,479 --> 01:25:51,320
Speaker 1: the properties or whatever, you should be able to see

1641
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:54,599
Speaker 1: the both the creation date and a modification date. And

1642
01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:58,240
Speaker 1: in general you can you can also add columns to

1643
01:25:58,320 --> 01:26:03,519
Speaker 1: your Windows Explorer that show you know when something was

1644
01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:08,040
Speaker 1: created versus modified. So that should help in some of

1645
01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:12,360
Speaker 1: these aspects. But with photos specifically, most of the modern

1646
01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:15,960
Speaker 1: programs like you know, the Google Photos and things you know,

1647
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:19,080
Speaker 1: they will they will display pictures in order based on

1648
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:22,760
Speaker 1: the metadata. So even if you upload a photo, like,

1649
01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:25,360
Speaker 1: for instance, if I upload a photo that I find

1650
01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:30,080
Speaker 1: on a drive somewhere that is, you know, an older photo,

1651
01:26:30,520 --> 01:26:32,360
Speaker 1: it will still put that in the right place in

1652
01:26:32,439 --> 01:26:35,080
Speaker 1: my collection based on the metadata. And by the way,

1653
01:26:35,080 --> 01:26:37,040
Speaker 1: there is one trick if you're using I know this

1654
01:26:37,120 --> 01:26:41,160
Speaker 1: applies to Google Photos, but in Google Photos, there is

1655
01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:46,040
Speaker 1: a way to arrange your stuff by recent So if

1656
01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:49,360
Speaker 1: you go into to explore on Google Photos and you

1657
01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:52,720
Speaker 1: scroll down, there's a section called recently added, and that

1658
01:26:52,800 --> 01:26:54,599
Speaker 1: will put all of your photos in the order they

1659
01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:57,519
Speaker 1: were uploaded, even if the dates are different. So that's

1660
01:26:57,760 --> 01:26:59,799
Speaker 1: a neat way to look at it. And it's similar

1661
01:26:59,840 --> 01:27:02,439
Speaker 1: to the iPhone. So if you think about the iPhone

1662
01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:05,040
Speaker 1: the way they organize pictures, if you go into your photos,

1663
01:27:06,600 --> 01:27:09,200
Speaker 1: there is a recence, and that's putting all your pictures

1664
01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:11,320
Speaker 1: in no matter what the date is, it's just putting

1665
01:27:11,320 --> 01:27:12,720
Speaker 1: them in the order you kind of put them on

1666
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:16,320
Speaker 1: your phone, versus the library which puts them in date order.

1667
01:27:16,960 --> 01:27:19,599
Speaker 1: So this is good to know. Eighty eight rich one

1668
01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:27,360
Speaker 1: oh one. This is rich on Tech. Welcome back to

1669
01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:32,599
Speaker 1: Rich on tech Rich Demiro here talking technology with you

1670
01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:36,599
Speaker 1: joining me or actually I talked to Jenny Blackburn at

1671
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:40,800
Speaker 1: Google all about Gemini. If you haven't tried Gemini, this

1672
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:44,839
Speaker 1: is formerly barred. This is Google's answer to chat GPT,

1673
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:47,000
Speaker 1: although of course they would never describe it that way,

1674
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:49,360
Speaker 1: but this is their AI assistant. You can access it

1675
01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:52,960
Speaker 1: at Gemini dot Google dot com. There's also ways of

1676
01:27:52,960 --> 01:27:57,479
Speaker 1: getting it on your smartphone. But Jenny Blackburn explains at

1677
01:27:57,479 --> 01:28:00,280
Speaker 1: Google Io all the different ways that you can use

1678
01:28:00,360 --> 01:28:05,519
Speaker 1: Google's Gemini AI assistant. So, first off, explain what Gemini is.

1679
01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:11,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, So Gemini is a conversational AI assistant that you

1684
01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:25,599
Speaker 5: apps and services integrated. One of the things that people

1685
01:28:25,640 --> 01:28:27,920
Speaker 5: tell me they love the most about Gemini is it

1686
01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:30,040
Speaker 5: can help you write and express yourself.

1687
01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:32,840
Speaker 1: What about the new features today? What do you think

1688
01:28:32,840 --> 01:28:34,800
Speaker 1: are some of the key features that you announced here

1689
01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 1: for the average consumer to try.

1690
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:40,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, such exciting announcements today, and I think like the

1691
01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:45,080
Speaker 5: overview for me, is it really is becoming this personal

1692
01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:49,080
Speaker 5: AI assistant you know a couple examples, is becoming way

1693
01:28:49,120 --> 01:28:53,559
Speaker 5: more capable of doing complex tasks, so you can upload

1694
01:28:53,760 --> 01:28:56,559
Speaker 5: lots and lots of files or really large files and

1695
01:28:56,640 --> 01:29:00,920
Speaker 5: Gemini can help process those. As one example. The other

1696
01:29:00,960 --> 01:29:04,400
Speaker 5: thing that I think is awesome for consumers is Gemini Live.

1697
01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:07,680
Speaker 5: So Gemini Live lets you have a conversation like you

1698
01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:11,559
Speaker 5: and I are having with Gemini in real time, and

1699
01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:14,560
Speaker 5: we use our speech technology to just make it supernatural

1700
01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:17,680
Speaker 5: and easy to do that. The third thing is we're

1701
01:29:17,680 --> 01:29:21,160
Speaker 5: adding more apps and services that you can access through Gemini,

1702
01:29:21,360 --> 01:29:24,519
Speaker 5: so you can use Gemini to add things to your calendar.

1703
01:29:25,160 --> 01:29:27,080
Speaker 1: For example, you could just take a picture.

1704
01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:30,760
Speaker 5: Of a event that maybe your kids got invited to

1705
01:29:30,960 --> 01:29:33,559
Speaker 5: and Gemini I'll just add it right to your Google calendar.

1706
01:29:34,040 --> 01:29:37,160
Speaker 1: When people are choosing AI to use, what do you

1707
01:29:37,200 --> 01:29:39,040
Speaker 1: think sets Gemini apart?

1708
01:29:39,400 --> 01:29:42,320
Speaker 5: Well, we're building AI that's great for everyone, and so

1709
01:29:42,439 --> 01:29:45,160
Speaker 5: I think what makes Gemini so awesome and what people

1710
01:29:45,200 --> 01:29:48,800
Speaker 5: tell us that they love is that integration into the

1711
01:29:48,840 --> 01:29:51,880
Speaker 5: apps and services from Google that they use all the time.

1712
01:29:52,240 --> 01:29:54,960
Speaker 5: We're also working hard to make Gemini just really easy

1713
01:29:55,360 --> 01:29:57,439
Speaker 5: for everybody to use, so you don't have to have

1714
01:29:57,479 --> 01:30:00,400
Speaker 5: any special skills. You just ask it or what you

1715
01:30:00,439 --> 01:30:01,160
Speaker 5: want and.

1716
01:30:01,080 --> 01:30:03,880
Speaker 1: It will help you out about that integration with like

1717
01:30:03,920 --> 01:30:07,679
Speaker 1: the different services. I saw they did a Google photos,

1718
01:30:07,720 --> 01:30:09,960
Speaker 1: like you can ask what's my license plate? Or when

1719
01:30:09,960 --> 01:30:12,720
Speaker 1: did my kid learn to swim? How do you kind

1720
01:30:12,760 --> 01:30:15,640
Speaker 1: of balance the privacy of your data and also the

1721
01:30:15,680 --> 01:30:17,759
Speaker 1: information that you want to get out of that data.

1722
01:30:17,920 --> 01:30:21,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, privacy is super important. We don't train our models

1723
01:30:21,640 --> 01:30:25,720
Speaker 5: on any personal information, and everything that you upload to

1724
01:30:25,760 --> 01:30:29,040
Speaker 5: Gemini that's personal stays private to your account.

1725
01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:33,000
Speaker 1: What kind of improvements are we seeing when it comes

1726
01:30:33,080 --> 01:30:35,920
Speaker 1: to interacting with these assistants, they almost feel like a person.

1727
01:30:37,040 --> 01:30:41,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, the natural is the goal, and with Live it

1728
01:30:41,439 --> 01:30:45,080
Speaker 5: just feels so natural and seamless and so an example,

1729
01:30:45,400 --> 01:30:47,960
Speaker 5: you know, I can interrupt Gemini like I would a person.

1730
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:51,000
Speaker 5: You know, sometimes when you use your voice, you have

1731
01:30:51,040 --> 01:30:52,719
Speaker 5: to like push a button or you have to say

1732
01:30:52,760 --> 01:30:55,400
Speaker 5: things just the right way. But now with Gemini, you

1733
01:30:55,520 --> 01:30:58,280
Speaker 5: literally can just say what's on your mind, you can pause,

1734
01:30:58,400 --> 01:31:01,759
Speaker 5: you can say and and I just gets it naturally.

1735
01:31:01,960 --> 01:31:04,400
Speaker 1: And also I saw the email feature where you can

1736
01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:07,200
Speaker 1: now summarize your emails and it can be like an

1737
01:31:07,240 --> 01:31:11,280
Speaker 1: assistant in that regard. Explain that feature a little bit, like,

1738
01:31:11,320 --> 01:31:13,200
Speaker 1: how are people going to be using that?

1739
01:31:13,280 --> 01:31:16,880
Speaker 5: You think users are already using that feature with our

1740
01:31:16,920 --> 01:31:21,040
Speaker 5: Gmail extension in Gemini, and now we're bringing Gemini actually

1741
01:31:21,080 --> 01:31:24,080
Speaker 5: into Gmail. So if you're in Gmail and you're looking

1742
01:31:24,120 --> 01:31:25,799
Speaker 5: at your in box, you have a ton of email,

1743
01:31:26,080 --> 01:31:29,240
Speaker 5: you can actually just ask Gemini to summarize that email

1744
01:31:29,320 --> 01:31:31,840
Speaker 5: for you and save yourself a whole.

1745
01:31:31,720 --> 01:31:32,200
Speaker 9: Bunch of time.

1746
01:31:32,840 --> 01:31:37,559
Speaker 1: They showed off a really neat travel itinerary generator. Explain

1747
01:31:37,600 --> 01:31:38,919
Speaker 1: what makes that so unique?

1748
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:42,400
Speaker 5: I am so excited about this. So already users love

1749
01:31:42,439 --> 01:31:46,160
Speaker 5: to come to Gemini and brainstorm travel ideas. But what

1750
01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:49,839
Speaker 5: chatbots typically aren't very good at is understanding the physics

1751
01:31:49,840 --> 01:31:52,040
Speaker 5: of the real world, like the fact that you have

1752
01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:55,639
Speaker 5: to have time between events and there are opening hours

1753
01:31:55,640 --> 01:31:58,960
Speaker 5: and closing hours, and so with this new planning experience

1754
01:31:58,960 --> 01:32:01,920
Speaker 5: in Gemini, we've train the models on some of those

1755
01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:06,200
Speaker 5: space and time dynamics, and so Gemini can actually create

1756
01:32:06,280 --> 01:32:09,920
Speaker 5: a really realistic itinerary for you that takes into account

1757
01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:12,240
Speaker 5: how long you have to you know, plan to travel

1758
01:32:12,280 --> 01:32:15,920
Speaker 5: between places. And then because of the Gmail integration, it

1759
01:32:15,960 --> 01:32:18,599
Speaker 5: can pull in your itinerary to help you get started.

1760
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:21,479
Speaker 5: So I can't wait to use it for my own travel.

1761
01:32:21,520 --> 01:32:23,639
Speaker 5: I think it's going to be a killer. The one

1762
01:32:23,680 --> 01:32:26,360
Speaker 5: other thing I'll just mention that we announced today that

1763
01:32:26,400 --> 01:32:29,519
Speaker 5: I think is super cool speaking of personalization, is something

1764
01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:32,840
Speaker 5: called gems, and so this lets users create their own

1765
01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:37,160
Speaker 5: tailored versions of Gemini that are four specific things. So

1766
01:32:37,280 --> 01:32:39,719
Speaker 5: I have a gem that I've created for travel planning

1767
01:32:39,760 --> 01:32:41,920
Speaker 5: for my family and knows what kind of hotels we

1768
01:32:42,040 --> 01:32:44,880
Speaker 5: like to stay at, It knows what our typical budget is.

1769
01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:46,439
Speaker 5: It knows where we live and how far are we

1770
01:32:46,560 --> 01:32:49,000
Speaker 5: like to go, and so you know, you can create

1771
01:32:49,040 --> 01:32:50,800
Speaker 5: as many of these as you want, and it just

1772
01:32:50,880 --> 01:32:53,479
Speaker 5: it's a great example of how Gemini is becoming so

1773
01:32:53,560 --> 01:32:57,160
Speaker 5: much more personal and tailored to your specific needs.

1774
01:32:57,760 --> 01:32:59,880
Speaker 1: And what's the goal of all this? What's the kind

1775
01:32:59,880 --> 01:33:03,599
Speaker 1: of of you know, end result. Is it really our information?

1776
01:33:03,800 --> 01:33:06,400
Speaker 1: Is it Google's information that we're kind of access quicker

1777
01:33:06,520 --> 01:33:07,799
Speaker 1: or is it a combination of both.

1778
01:33:08,240 --> 01:33:11,080
Speaker 5: I think that the end goal for me is really

1779
01:33:11,160 --> 01:33:14,799
Speaker 5: to make everyone have, you know, access to this personal

1780
01:33:14,840 --> 01:33:17,439
Speaker 5: AI assystem that helps them live their best life, that

1781
01:33:17,520 --> 01:33:22,400
Speaker 5: helps them express themselves better, be more organized save time.

1782
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:24,160
Speaker 5: I think that's the end goal.

1783
01:33:24,280 --> 01:33:26,280
Speaker 1: Confused or I think some people may be confused on

1784
01:33:26,280 --> 01:33:29,479
Speaker 1: how to access Gemini because we hear this, but it's

1785
01:33:29,479 --> 01:33:32,040
Speaker 1: also an app, it's also a feature, it's also a thing.

1786
01:33:32,520 --> 01:33:35,040
Speaker 1: So how do people access this tool?

1787
01:33:35,320 --> 01:33:38,840
Speaker 5: Yes, we are working to make Gemini available everywhere, but

1788
01:33:38,880 --> 01:33:40,960
Speaker 5: if you want to go right to Gemini, you can

1789
01:33:41,040 --> 01:33:44,080
Speaker 5: go to Gemini dot Google dot com, and you can

1790
01:33:44,120 --> 01:33:48,200
Speaker 5: also download the Gemini app on Android and on iOS.

1791
01:33:48,400 --> 01:33:50,719
Speaker 5: You can go right into the Google app and Gemini

1792
01:33:50,920 --> 01:33:52,960
Speaker 5: is there. There's a star at the top of the.

1793
01:33:52,960 --> 01:33:54,920
Speaker 1: App that you just tap on, and can you give

1794
01:33:54,960 --> 01:33:57,240
Speaker 1: me some kind of like hidden tips or tricks that

1795
01:33:57,280 --> 01:33:59,840
Speaker 1: people may not you know, if you've never used Gemini, Like,

1796
01:34:00,160 --> 01:34:02,040
Speaker 1: where do I start? I know you got the commercial

1797
01:34:02,040 --> 01:34:04,200
Speaker 1: with just the prompt, but you know what do I

1798
01:34:04,240 --> 01:34:04,760
Speaker 1: say to it?

1799
01:34:05,120 --> 01:34:07,640
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, the commercial the cat playing guitar. You know,

1800
01:34:07,800 --> 01:34:10,479
Speaker 5: you can just describe an image that you want Gemini

1801
01:34:10,520 --> 01:34:12,679
Speaker 5: to make for you, and it will draw that image

1802
01:34:12,760 --> 01:34:14,439
Speaker 5: up for you. So that is a really fun place

1803
01:34:14,479 --> 01:34:17,120
Speaker 5: to start. The other one I encourage people to try

1804
01:34:17,200 --> 01:34:19,040
Speaker 5: is we all have things we have to write, whether

1805
01:34:19,120 --> 01:34:22,400
Speaker 5: it's a thank you card or like declining an event

1806
01:34:22,520 --> 01:34:24,639
Speaker 5: that you don't really want to go to, you can

1807
01:34:24,680 --> 01:34:26,519
Speaker 5: just go to Gemini and say, hey, I need to

1808
01:34:26,520 --> 01:34:29,800
Speaker 5: write this message. Here's what I wanted to say, and

1809
01:34:29,920 --> 01:34:32,439
Speaker 5: Gemini will write that for you. And so that's a

1810
01:34:32,479 --> 01:34:34,200
Speaker 5: great way to get started.

1811
01:34:34,360 --> 01:34:37,360
Speaker 1: Since it is so simple. There's no instructions. It's just

1812
01:34:37,400 --> 01:34:40,479
Speaker 1: a box that says, you know, prompt, type your prompt.

1813
01:34:40,800 --> 01:34:43,880
Speaker 1: I mean, how do you give people ideas on how

1814
01:34:43,880 --> 01:34:45,679
Speaker 1: to use this stuff because there's so many like hidden

1815
01:34:45,880 --> 01:34:48,479
Speaker 1: features inside. Yeah, we got a challenge.

1816
01:34:48,760 --> 01:34:50,679
Speaker 5: Yeah that I think it is super important to help

1817
01:34:50,680 --> 01:34:52,600
Speaker 5: people know how to get started. And so when you

1818
01:34:52,640 --> 01:34:54,840
Speaker 5: go to Gemini, one of the things that you'll see

1819
01:34:55,040 --> 01:34:58,240
Speaker 5: is above that input box, we have some suggestions for

1820
01:34:58,439 --> 01:35:01,479
Speaker 5: things that you can try, and if you tap or

1821
01:35:01,520 --> 01:35:04,200
Speaker 5: you click on those, it will put that into the

1822
01:35:04,240 --> 01:35:06,080
Speaker 5: prompt and you can run through that and kind of

1823
01:35:06,120 --> 01:35:08,760
Speaker 5: get an idea of what that response would be like.

1824
01:35:09,200 --> 01:35:11,320
Speaker 5: So that's one thing that we're doing to help people

1825
01:35:11,400 --> 01:35:13,840
Speaker 5: know how to interact with this. But our goal is

1826
01:35:13,880 --> 01:35:16,800
Speaker 5: really that people don't need special expertise. They should be

1827
01:35:16,880 --> 01:35:20,200
Speaker 5: able to just start chatting with Gemini the way they

1828
01:35:20,200 --> 01:35:22,440
Speaker 5: would chat with a actual assistant.

1829
01:35:23,000 --> 01:35:25,960
Speaker 1: And for people that maybe using another assistant like open Ai,

1830
01:35:26,160 --> 01:35:30,519
Speaker 1: Chat EBT, probably lesser so clawed, But like, what do

1831
01:35:30,520 --> 01:35:33,080
Speaker 1: you say to them, do you think they should try Gemini?

1832
01:35:33,640 --> 01:35:36,920
Speaker 5: I definitely think everybody should try Gemini. We're working to

1833
01:35:36,960 --> 01:35:40,480
Speaker 5: make it such an awesome, helpful and really fun assistant

1834
01:35:40,680 --> 01:35:43,559
Speaker 5: that just helps everybody with whatever they need to do.

1835
01:35:44,560 --> 01:35:48,839
Speaker 1: Once again, that was Jenny Blackburn of Google explaining Gemini.

1836
01:35:48,880 --> 01:35:51,960
Speaker 1: If you haven't tried it out, definitely do it. It's

1837
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:54,200
Speaker 1: on your iPhone if you have the Google app, open

1838
01:35:54,280 --> 01:35:56,240
Speaker 1: up the Google App up at the top, you'll see

1839
01:35:56,280 --> 01:35:59,160
Speaker 1: it says search and then there's a little star. If

1840
01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:01,920
Speaker 1: you tap that star, it will convert the Google App

1841
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:05,880
Speaker 1: into Gemini and just have some fun ask it some questions.

1842
01:36:05,920 --> 01:36:08,840
Speaker 1: It is very knowledgeable. On Android, you can just go

1843
01:36:08,960 --> 01:36:12,759
Speaker 1: in search on the play Store Gemini, you can download

1844
01:36:12,800 --> 01:36:15,080
Speaker 1: the app and use it that way, and then on

1845
01:36:15,120 --> 01:36:19,519
Speaker 1: the web Gemini dot Google dot com. Check it out.

1846
01:36:19,560 --> 01:36:22,760
Speaker 1: If you're looking for real time information, like stuff that's

1847
01:36:23,600 --> 01:36:26,080
Speaker 1: more so than just ideas and things like you want

1848
01:36:26,160 --> 01:36:28,720
Speaker 1: information about where you're traveling or something like that, like

1849
01:36:29,040 --> 01:36:31,680
Speaker 1: this is what Gemini is really good at all. Right,

1850
01:36:31,720 --> 01:36:35,240
Speaker 1: coming up, we are going to do the feedbag segment,

1851
01:36:35,840 --> 01:36:39,600
Speaker 1: that is your emails, your comments into the show. My

1852
01:36:39,720 --> 01:36:42,880
Speaker 1: name is rich Sarmiro. You are listening to Rich on tech.

1853
01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:49,080
Speaker 1: Before we get to the feedbag, let me just two

1854
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:52,479
Speaker 1: things I wanted to note Google. You know how Google

1855
01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:55,479
Speaker 1: search results have gotten really cluttered with all kinds of

1856
01:36:55,520 --> 01:37:00,920
Speaker 1: pictures and videos and Twitter and articles and whatever. If

1857
01:37:00,960 --> 01:37:03,400
Speaker 1: you want to go back to the old style of

1858
01:37:03,640 --> 01:37:07,880
Speaker 1: just text based links, there is now a new filter

1859
01:37:08,080 --> 01:37:11,880
Speaker 1: on Google called Web. So the next time you do

1860
01:37:11,920 --> 01:37:16,040
Speaker 1: a search, it may pop up as a little button

1861
01:37:16,120 --> 01:37:19,160
Speaker 1: underneath the search bar. Like I search for my name

1862
01:37:19,240 --> 01:37:22,559
Speaker 1: rich to Mirowna says images, news, videos, Wikipedia, Web. So

1863
01:37:22,600 --> 01:37:26,120
Speaker 1: if I tap now web, it gets rid of everything

1864
01:37:26,400 --> 01:37:29,479
Speaker 1: except the links. So if you just want a pre

1865
01:37:29,680 --> 01:37:32,720
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven Google, you can tap web. It

1866
01:37:32,720 --> 01:37:34,400
Speaker 1: doesn't do it for every search, but it does it

1867
01:37:34,439 --> 01:37:36,439
Speaker 1: on a search by search basis. So if you're looking

1868
01:37:36,479 --> 01:37:39,320
Speaker 1: for just links, there is now a filter on Google

1869
01:37:39,360 --> 01:37:42,360
Speaker 1: for links. If it doesn't show the word web underneath

1870
01:37:42,360 --> 01:37:45,960
Speaker 1: your search, go to where it says all filters, and

1871
01:37:46,320 --> 01:37:50,040
Speaker 1: if you scroll down it'll say web right there. And

1872
01:37:50,160 --> 01:37:53,400
Speaker 1: iOS seventeen point five is available now if you haven't

1873
01:37:53,400 --> 01:37:56,920
Speaker 1: already updated your iPhone. This has a couple new things

1874
01:37:56,920 --> 01:37:58,840
Speaker 1: for the folks over in the EU, but here in

1875
01:37:58,840 --> 01:38:02,240
Speaker 1: the US. If you like to play word games, there

1876
01:38:02,320 --> 01:38:06,920
Speaker 1: is a new Quartiles game inside Apple News Plus. Unfortunately

1877
01:38:06,960 --> 01:38:10,000
Speaker 1: it's only for subscribers, but if you subscribe to Apple

1878
01:38:10,040 --> 01:38:13,680
Speaker 1: News Plus, you can access this new Quartiles game. You

1879
01:38:13,720 --> 01:38:16,200
Speaker 1: build words, and the longer you build the words the

1880
01:38:16,240 --> 01:38:18,360
Speaker 1: letters they give you, the more points you get. I

1881
01:38:18,400 --> 01:38:22,120
Speaker 1: tried it this morning. It's very tough. Apple News also

1882
01:38:22,160 --> 01:38:25,519
Speaker 1: has an offline mode, so if you fly a lot

1883
01:38:25,600 --> 01:38:28,280
Speaker 1: and you want something that's offline and you could download

1884
01:38:28,400 --> 01:38:32,080
Speaker 1: your phone. This allows offline access to magazines, newspapers, and

1885
01:38:32,200 --> 01:38:37,479
Speaker 1: narrated articles automatically downloads the content. There's from some Find

1886
01:38:37,479 --> 01:38:40,920
Speaker 1: My Network updates and a new repair state so if

1887
01:38:40,920 --> 01:38:43,320
Speaker 1: you send your phone in for repair, you can still

1888
01:38:43,400 --> 01:38:46,960
Speaker 1: leave find My on which is a nice addition. And

1889
01:38:47,080 --> 01:38:50,640
Speaker 1: there's fifteen notable security patches. And by the way, if

1890
01:38:50,680 --> 01:38:53,080
Speaker 1: you want to find that Quartiles game, open up the

1891
01:38:53,080 --> 01:38:56,559
Speaker 1: Apple News app and tap the following tab in the

1892
01:38:56,600 --> 01:38:59,920
Speaker 1: lower right hand corner and then tap Quartiles. You'll see

1893
01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:03,200
Speaker 1: under puzzles. All right, let's get to the feedbag. This

1894
01:39:03,400 --> 01:39:07,280
Speaker 1: is a feedback plus the mail bag equals feedbag. These

1895
01:39:07,280 --> 01:39:09,160
Speaker 1: are the emails the comments that I get from you.

1896
01:39:09,680 --> 01:39:11,680
Speaker 1: If you'd like to submit yours, just go to Rich

1897
01:39:11,760 --> 01:39:18,519
Speaker 1: on tech dot tv and hit contact. James from Tampa,

1898
01:39:18,640 --> 01:39:21,760
Speaker 1: Florida says you mentioned you are currently testing Tello. We

1899
01:39:21,840 --> 01:39:25,160
Speaker 1: have been using Tello and really enjoy their simple eSIM activation,

1900
01:39:25,840 --> 01:39:30,240
Speaker 1: concise invoicing plan prices, ease of changing plans, and their coverage.

1901
01:39:30,280 --> 01:39:33,080
Speaker 1: So good, so far, so good, better than my mint

1902
01:39:33,120 --> 01:39:35,360
Speaker 1: line in terms of data speeds and coverage even though

1903
01:39:35,400 --> 01:39:38,439
Speaker 1: they both use Tea mobile. If I need to call support,

1904
01:39:38,479 --> 01:39:40,880
Speaker 1: I get right through to my helpful customer service, even

1905
01:39:40,880 --> 01:39:44,360
Speaker 1: though it is offshore. I currently have six eSIMs on

1906
01:39:44,400 --> 01:39:47,840
Speaker 1: my iPhone fifteen promacs, only two are active at a time.

1907
01:39:48,560 --> 01:39:51,360
Speaker 1: Three of them are playing Tello one hundred minute lines

1908
01:39:51,400 --> 01:39:54,400
Speaker 1: with no data because they are special phone numbers vanity

1909
01:39:54,479 --> 01:39:56,599
Speaker 1: numbers that are easy to remember that I don't want

1910
01:39:56,600 --> 01:39:58,160
Speaker 1: to give up, so I just parked them with Tello

1911
01:39:58,280 --> 01:40:01,040
Speaker 1: until I decide what to do. Great show, as always,

1912
01:40:01,280 --> 01:40:04,880
Speaker 1: Chow Yes, Tello is a great option if you want

1913
01:40:04,920 --> 01:40:08,160
Speaker 1: something that is super simple and gives you a very

1914
01:40:08,280 --> 01:40:12,760
Speaker 1: customizable way of creating your phone plan. So if you

1915
01:40:12,920 --> 01:40:15,360
Speaker 1: just want talking text, you can sign up for that.

1916
01:40:15,640 --> 01:40:18,080
Speaker 1: If you just want tell a text, you can sign

1917
01:40:18,120 --> 01:40:19,960
Speaker 1: up for that. If you just want data, you can

1918
01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:21,559
Speaker 1: sign up for that. If you want unlimited, you can

1919
01:40:21,560 --> 01:40:24,479
Speaker 1: sign up for that. If it's really really great Tello

1920
01:40:24,560 --> 01:40:26,839
Speaker 1: dot com, you can find a link on my website.

1921
01:40:26,880 --> 01:40:29,759
Speaker 1: Rich on tech dot tv, I've got a a referral

1922
01:40:29,800 --> 01:40:31,639
Speaker 1: link that I think gives you like ten bucks off

1923
01:40:31,720 --> 01:40:35,240
Speaker 1: or something like that, only because I use it, Robert

1924
01:40:35,320 --> 01:40:39,719
Speaker 1: from Sacramento says on the May eleventh program, a gentleman

1925
01:40:39,800 --> 01:40:42,360
Speaker 1: mentioned he was happy with his Galaxy S ten, and

1926
01:40:42,400 --> 01:40:45,559
Speaker 1: you correctly asked about security updates. He said he was

1927
01:40:45,560 --> 01:40:49,559
Speaker 1: getting them. However, Samsung stopped updating that phone in April

1928
01:40:49,600 --> 01:40:52,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, so unless he rooted his phone, he

1929
01:40:52,800 --> 01:40:55,280
Speaker 1: has gone over a year without an update. Given that

1930
01:40:55,320 --> 01:40:58,800
Speaker 1: he also mentioned doing nature photography having a quality camera

1931
01:40:58,840 --> 01:41:00,840
Speaker 1: with him all the time. Is I'm port will a

1932
01:41:00,880 --> 01:41:03,719
Speaker 1: new phone matches Laika or whatever system he uses.

1933
01:41:04,040 --> 01:41:04,200
Speaker 10: No.

1934
01:41:04,600 --> 01:41:08,960
Speaker 1: Heck, my Pentax under certain circumstances, especially telephoto, takes better

1935
01:41:09,040 --> 01:41:12,200
Speaker 1: pictures of my S twenty four Ultra, but the quality

1936
01:41:12,280 --> 01:41:16,040
Speaker 1: top of the line phone cameras is amazing. Anyone serious

1937
01:41:16,040 --> 01:41:19,679
Speaker 1: about photography should invest impossible, if possible, in a phone

1938
01:41:19,720 --> 01:41:22,360
Speaker 1: with a quality camera. I did think that. After the

1939
01:41:22,439 --> 01:41:24,679
Speaker 1: caller said that his S ten was still getting updates,

1940
01:41:24,680 --> 01:41:27,080
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't think it is. There is

1941
01:41:27,080 --> 01:41:29,839
Speaker 1: a website you can check. It's called end of life

1942
01:41:31,280 --> 01:41:35,920
Speaker 1: and it'll tell you when the software is updated. So

1943
01:41:36,360 --> 01:41:38,360
Speaker 1: I should come up with the if you just search

1944
01:41:38,439 --> 01:41:40,640
Speaker 1: end of life, that does not come. This does not

1945
01:41:40,640 --> 01:41:43,200
Speaker 1: come up. I gotta find the link for that website.

1946
01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:48,040
Speaker 1: Richard from Murrieta says, Hey, rich I'm a regular listener

1947
01:41:48,080 --> 01:41:50,280
Speaker 1: and I want to pass this along if you're inclined

1948
01:41:50,280 --> 01:41:54,479
Speaker 1: to inform your audience. Frontier Airlines promotes its go Wild Pass,

1949
01:41:54,520 --> 01:41:57,400
Speaker 1: which for one price, offers unlimited flights for the summer

1950
01:41:57,720 --> 01:42:01,080
Speaker 1: or the year. I purchased a yearly pass for five

1951
01:42:01,160 --> 01:42:04,759
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety nine dollars. However, when I tried booking flights,

1952
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:08,200
Speaker 1: nothing was available. I contacted Frontier. They said I had

1953
01:42:08,200 --> 01:42:10,320
Speaker 1: twenty four hours to apply for a refund, but I

1954
01:42:10,320 --> 01:42:12,920
Speaker 1: was past the allotted time. I resolved this with my

1955
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:15,559
Speaker 1: credit card company, which has given me a credit. Despite

1956
01:42:15,600 --> 01:42:20,080
Speaker 1: Frontier's deceptive policy. I have since found numerous negative reviews

1957
01:42:20,080 --> 01:42:23,240
Speaker 1: online from others in the same situation. Please inform your

1958
01:42:23,280 --> 01:42:25,559
Speaker 1: audience that this program is as close to a scam

1959
01:42:25,600 --> 01:42:30,040
Speaker 1: as it gets. Thank you, Rich. I've heard of this program.

1960
01:42:30,080 --> 01:42:32,920
Speaker 1: I have not familiar, but any unlimited flight program I

1961
01:42:32,920 --> 01:42:36,640
Speaker 1: would assume you have to be very, very, very flexible,

1962
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:39,360
Speaker 1: because if they're giving away a lot of flights for

1963
01:42:39,400 --> 01:42:43,200
Speaker 1: that one price, it's basically whatever's left on the plane.

1964
01:42:44,720 --> 01:42:48,080
Speaker 1: Melissa from Recita, California rights Hi, Rich, I've been watching

1965
01:42:48,160 --> 01:42:51,240
Speaker 1: and enjoying your KTLA segments for many years, and I've

1966
01:42:51,240 --> 01:42:54,360
Speaker 1: always wondered why there's so little attention paid to Android

1967
01:42:54,400 --> 01:42:58,000
Speaker 1: by seemingly everyone in your field. As a decade's long

1968
01:42:58,120 --> 01:43:01,439
Speaker 1: user of all things Samsung cell phone, own TVVCR, DVD,

1969
01:43:01,760 --> 01:43:04,879
Speaker 1: and now smart TVs, I'm wondering why the overwhelming majority

1970
01:43:04,880 --> 01:43:08,120
Speaker 1: of information, tips, updates, and reviews of cell phones are

1971
01:43:08,160 --> 01:43:11,040
Speaker 1: focused on Apple, while it seems Samsung is more of

1972
01:43:11,080 --> 01:43:14,320
Speaker 1: an afterthought or a courtesy mentioned when it comes to security,

1973
01:43:14,360 --> 01:43:18,040
Speaker 1: convenience updates, and tips about using it more efficiently, everyone

1974
01:43:18,120 --> 01:43:20,160
Speaker 1: seems mostly to leave it up to the user to

1975
01:43:20,200 --> 01:43:23,639
Speaker 1: figure it all out. Thanks for your time, Melissa. Melissa,

1976
01:43:24,080 --> 01:43:27,240
Speaker 1: I do understand that the industry is very iOS and

1977
01:43:27,320 --> 01:43:30,280
Speaker 1: Apple centric. When I wrote my book, yes, it was

1978
01:43:30,320 --> 01:43:33,160
Speaker 1: for iOS and there was a very particular reason for that.

1979
01:43:33,760 --> 01:43:37,799
Speaker 1: It's because iPhone works the same for everyone around the world.

1980
01:43:37,840 --> 01:43:40,519
Speaker 1: And I think that's the biggest difference between iPhone and

1981
01:43:40,560 --> 01:43:43,120
Speaker 1: Samsung and what makes it tough to cover Samsung in

1982
01:43:43,160 --> 01:43:46,240
Speaker 1: the same way. There are many different versions of their software,

1983
01:43:46,439 --> 01:43:50,120
Speaker 1: There are many different devices, and they all work slightly differently,

1984
01:43:50,160 --> 01:43:53,680
Speaker 1: and then the accessories are all different as well. You

1985
01:43:53,720 --> 01:43:56,960
Speaker 1: may have a Samsung phone plus a one plus watch

1986
01:43:57,120 --> 01:44:00,960
Speaker 1: and nothing headphones, and it's a It's a combination of

1987
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:03,599
Speaker 1: things and that's what makes the Android ecosystem so great,

1988
