But I've been doing it there for ten 13 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: years and we have a lot of fun and I 14 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 1: love doing what I do, and you know it if 15 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: you watch me or follow me. This week was really cool. 16 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 2: There is so. 17 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: Much in this podcast today, so I will try to 18 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: keep the items brief to keep me on time, but 19 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 1: there is a lot to get through because Apple revealed 20 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of new stuff. And I also went 21 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 1: to the new Amazon Fresh grocery store in Woodland Hills, California, 22 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: which is in an old Toys r US and it's 23 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: a new grocery store that is cool. It's kind of 24 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: like the if you ever shopped on Amazon Fresh for 25 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: your groceries that get delivered. It's kind of like that website, 26 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: but brought to life, so it looks really nice. It's 27 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: very modern. But the coolest thing about it is this 28 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: Amazon Dash cart and it's a magical shopping cart that 29 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: when you put your items inside. 30 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 2: It checks. 31 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: You're basically doing self checkout as you go through the store, 32 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: and so there's no checkout procedure. I used it twice yesterday, 33 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: maybe three times to try it out, and you just 34 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: put your stuff in the cart, it recognizes it. It's 35 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: really fast at recognizing stuff. It actually takes a little 36 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: picture of everything you put in there, and if it 37 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: doesn't recognize it, it'll show you the black and white 38 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: picture and it's like what is this? And you can 39 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 1: take something out of the cart and it will take 40 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,399 Speaker 1: it off of your tally. And that's the other neat part. 41 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: There's a little screen on the cart that gives you 42 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,679 Speaker 1: an ongoing tallly of everything you've purchased. And I especially 43 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: like this because I've done this thing where I put 44 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: my phone or calculator, you know, on the cart and 45 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: try to add things up as I go along, especially 46 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: at Costco when I overspend. 47 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 2: So if you're trying to stick to a budget. 48 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: You can see exactly how much you're spending at the store, 49 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: and not to mention, you know exactly how much things cost. 50 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: So you got to watch my video on the Amazon 51 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: dash car. It is on my Facebook page Facebook dot 52 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: com slash Rich on tech. It is just so cool 53 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: and oh my gosh, it's the future. It really is. 54 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 2: I'm not I don't know. 55 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: I think it's just every store needs that, every store 56 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: needs that. Let's talk about iOS fourteen because it is 57 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: now available. Perhaps you've already updated your iPhone. I had 58 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: the beta version on my phone and then I had 59 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: to take that off because I knew or the battery 60 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: was just so bad. So now I've got the final 61 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: version on my phone, the public iOS fourteen. 62 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 2: And it's fantastic. 63 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: It's so interesting to me that, you know, I grew 64 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: up kind of loving Android, and I kind of switched 65 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: over to iPhone specifically for you know, a couple of 66 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: years now. But you know, I've always swapped back and forth, and. 67 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 2: There's a lot of little things on Android that I love, 68 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 2: but there are a lot of little. 69 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: Things on iOS that annoyed me. But Apple just keeps 70 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: getting rid of all of my pain points. I mean, 71 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: they just keep adding these things that make everything work 72 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: better and look better. And now with these widgets, you know, 73 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: you can get Google on your home screen. 74 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 2: It's really cool. 75 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: So a couple things to look out for in iOS fourteen, 76 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: which I recommend you download if you want a better experience. 77 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: There are a lot of improvements. Obviously, some people are 78 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: hesitant to download things right away because there might be 79 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: some bugs. I think that this is one of the 80 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: most solid operating systems out of the gate. It was 81 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: solid when it was beta except for the battery and 82 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: I think they've fixed the battery issues. So a couple 83 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: things you can do in iOS fourteen. Number one home 84 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: screen widgets, so you can now put widgets on your screens, 85 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: which can give you access to information at a glance, 86 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: so your calendar Google. A lot of the third party 87 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: widgets are not available just yet, but they will be 88 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: and once those start getting in there, it's going to 89 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: be quite powerful. They also organize all of your apps 90 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: now into categories, something called the App Library, so you 91 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: can scroll through all of your apps in alphabetical order, 92 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 1: or see them in folders that Apple creates incoming Phone 93 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: calls and FaceTime calls are compact, so they don't take 94 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: up the whole screen, which means if you're working on 95 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: something Like yesterday, this happened to me. I'm working on 96 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: something and a call comes in and I just swiped 97 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: it away. 98 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 2: It was so great. 99 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: My screen didn't go black and show me the person calling. 100 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: It was just perfect. It was exactly how Apple imagined it. 101 00:04:58,880 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 2: Picture and picture. 102 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: You could and watch things on your screen while you're 103 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: doing something else. That's pretty cool. Siri. 104 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 2: I am not a big fan of the redesign. It's 105 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:07,239 Speaker 2: kind of weird. 106 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: It's now on the bottom half of your screen in 107 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: the top half, and it kind of looks weird. It's 108 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: very unappily to kind of have Siri over your home screen, 109 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: so that's kind of strange getting used to that. In messages, 110 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: you can now pin messages, so if you have a 111 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: group of friends that you talk to regularly, you can 112 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: now swipe from left to right on that message chain 113 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: and then it'll reveal a little pin and you press 114 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: that pin, and now those that message group will stay 115 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 1: at the top of your messages, so it's really easy 116 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: to hop in there when you want to say something. 117 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: You can also reply to specific messages. So if you 118 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: tap and hold a message in a thread, you can 119 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: reply to that specific little message inside there, so people 120 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: know that, like. 121 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 2: Oh, this is what he's talking about. 122 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,919 Speaker 1: There's a lot of privacy enhancements. Now your phone is 123 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: going to show you when an app accesses your camera 124 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: or your microphone. You'll see a little green dot or 125 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: some sort of color. I'm not sure what it is, 126 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: but it's a little dot top of your phone in 127 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: the upper right hand corner. And when you swipe down 128 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: on your screen to see the control panel, it will 129 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: show you like which app recently accessed your camera or 130 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: your audio. There's a new translay app which is pretty cool. 131 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: I don't know when I'm gonna put that to you 132 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: since I'm not traveling internationally anytime soon, but that's really neat. 133 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: And then weather, they bought this weather app which was 134 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: one of my favorites, called dark Sky, and so now 135 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: the weather app has gotten an update. It'll actually tell 136 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: you when it is going to rain minute by minute. 137 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: Let's get to the first question of the show, and 138 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: Laurie says, here's my question for you. My parents are 139 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: getting older in their eighties. Earlier today, my mom fell 140 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: in the bedroom. Ooh sorry, she needed help. My dad 141 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: was in another room across a large house. My mom 142 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: texted him. He did not see the message. They both 143 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: have iPhones, they don't have Apple Watches, which I know 144 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: have the walkie talkie app. What's the best way for 145 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: them to get an emergency message to each other from 146 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: another room in the house. They do have an Echo 147 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: dot in the kitchen. I was thinking they should get 148 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: a couple more Echo dots. Yes, that is the answer 149 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 1: I would say, is get a couple more Echo dots. 150 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: There's a feature called Alexa Announcements, and this will enable 151 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: you to, oh, there goes my Alexa. This will enable 152 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: you to have recently installed an Alexa Dot in my 153 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: office for testing purposes. 154 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 2: And now it's actually gotten quite good. 155 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: Like I'm used to the Google Home but now I 156 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: like kind of comparing the two and seeing what the 157 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: reactions are. But anyway, I would say the Echo dot 158 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: do the broadcast thing or actually on Google it's called 159 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: broadcast and you can say, h Google broadcast this, and 160 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: it will broadcast whatever you say to your all of 161 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: your different devices, or you can choose out a specific 162 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: room and on Amazon's Echo. 163 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 2: It's kind of the same thing. So I believe the 164 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 2: syntax is. 165 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: A announce that you know announce, so a you know 166 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: the name announce and then she will announce to the 167 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: other one something. So if you were, you know, A 168 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: announced I've fallen it and I can't get up, and 169 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: then that would broadcast the other one. So I think 170 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: that's a good way to do it. But Laurie, I 171 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: would also look into the Apple Watch with fall detection. 172 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: I know your parents live together, so that's a good thing. 173 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: And by the way, congrats to them for you know, 174 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: being together strong this long. 175 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 2: That's awesome. 176 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: But the fall detection is a handy feature in the 177 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: Apple Watch that I think would benefit your parents. You 178 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: might want to think of that. I know it's a 179 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: whole big thing Apple Watch. It adds a whole nother 180 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: level of complications to your parents tech setup. But start 181 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: with the dots and go from there. Now, let's talk 182 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 1: about the Apple Watch Series six that was just announced 183 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: by Apple. It is now available and I've got one 184 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: on my wrist. I've got the blue with the blue 185 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: new band. I forget what the bands are called, but 186 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: I'm still forming my opinions on this watch. But I 187 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: will just tell you this, the Apple Watch is quite 188 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: simply amazing. I would put it in that same category 189 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: as something like a smart home speaker, something like the 190 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,479 Speaker 1: Amazon Dash cart that I just was telling you about. 191 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: And then the Apple Watch, I mean along with the iPhone. 192 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: I mean Apple, when you really think about it, they 193 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: have had some really amazing products. When it comes to 194 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: the iPhone, the iPad, and the Apple Watch, I mean 195 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 1: these three things. This trio is just unstoppable. And the 196 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: Apple Watch Series six kind of builds upon the series five. 197 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 1: If you're happy with your watch and you don't need 198 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 1: these new features, then. 199 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 2: You're just fine. 200 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: But it does add new features and blood oxygen sensor 201 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: is one of them. So this is a feature that 202 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: takes a blood oxygen reading in about fifteen seconds. Apple 203 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: says it is not a medical device, but you know, 204 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: if you want to keep track of your blood oxygen, 205 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: get an idea of where you stand. This will do 206 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: it throughout the day when you sleep and then when 207 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: you want to take a manual reading. And the manual 208 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: reading is you know a little tricky. You got to 209 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: sit there, stay still, and you know it works, but 210 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: it you know it works better than other things out there. 211 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: I guess some of the they're smart watches. It also 212 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: hasn't always on altimeter, which can give you real time elevation, 213 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: so if you're a big climber or whatever you want 214 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: to see, oh how you are, you can do that. 215 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: It also comes in two new colors, blue and red, 216 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: and it has that automatic hand washing detection which I 217 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: haven't tried yet. I need to turn that on and see. 218 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: I know I slack some times for the twenty seconds 219 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: I know we all do. Sleep tracking is also in there. 220 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: I did wear it to bed the last two nights, 221 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: so the first night, yes, the sleep tracking worked, and 222 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: it was kind of cool to see, you know, how 223 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: long I slept. It tells you how long you were 224 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 1: in bed and then how long you slept. It doesn't 225 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: give you really good metrics like the way the fipbit does, 226 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: but you get an idea. And the other thing I 227 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: noticed last night is that if you don't activate the 228 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,839 Speaker 1: bedtime setting, it will not track your sleep. 229 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 2: That's what happened to me last night. 230 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: I just turned on do not disturb, and I guess 231 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: that's not enough for it to go into sleep mode. 232 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: The other thing is if you're using sleep tracking on 233 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: the Apple Watch, you need to figure out when you're 234 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: gonna charge your Apple Watch. So now I usually charge 235 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 1: at bedside. I will probably move my charger into the 236 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: bathroom and I'll charge it while I shower, so you'll 237 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: have to top it off throughout the day. I don't 238 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: know if that's gonna be long enough for you know, 239 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: to probably not, but the watch does charge faster now 240 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: an hour and a half to top off, I guess 241 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: to get to one hundred percent eighty percent I think 242 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: was like half an hour or something like that. Forty minutes. 243 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: So again, it's a great watch. They're you know, the 244 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: two main things the oh, the always on screen is brighter, 245 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: So when you're not when the screen is not fully lit, 246 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: the always on displays lit and that's actually brighter, and 247 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 1: I have noticed it is brighter. And it's also a 248 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: little bit faster, runs twenty percent faster. Has a new chip, 249 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: the U one chip, which will enable things like making 250 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: your watch a car key digital car key, and that's 251 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: kind of it. The prices remain the same three ninety 252 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: nine or four ninety nine for the cellular version. Like 253 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 1: I said, it's already available and this is one of 254 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: those devices that unless you the new features, you don't 255 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: really need to upgrade it. You know, people are still 256 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: rocking like a Series three. If it's working for you, 257 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: it's working just fine. If you want the blood oxygen, 258 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: then that is something. You know, if there's something with 259 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: your health that requires that or that would be helpful 260 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: to you, then yeah, this would be great. But again 261 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: it's evolutionary. It just continues to get better. The battery 262 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: life is the same about eighteen hours, which you know, 263 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 1: it'd be nice if Apple could get that up a 264 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: little bit more. But at this point it seems like 265 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 1: the way Apple's seeing this device is that people charge 266 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: it on a daily basis. It's a little trickier when 267 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: you're tracking your sleep. But again, forming my opinions on this, 268 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they have two new types of bands. Let 269 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: me get my notes again. The bands are interesting because 270 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: they have a soft silicone solo loop and then braided yarn. 271 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 1: So it's like basically this little stretchable. It's kind of 272 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: like a rubber band that you put around your wrist, 273 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: and one's silicone and rubbery, the other one has this 274 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: braided yarn over it. 275 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 2: I've got the braided yarn. 276 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: The one thing to know about these bands is that 277 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: they're now sized, so they come in different sizes, like 278 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: a seven, a six, four. I don't know what they 279 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: go down to, but you do need to figure out 280 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: what size you are. I am wearing a size six. 281 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: My wrist is pretty small and it fits perfectly. And 282 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: it's funny because you can see as your wrist expands 283 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:24,439 Speaker 1: throughout the day. 284 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 2: When you're in the. 285 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: Heat, your watch is a little bit tighter. But I 286 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: find the six works for me. So if you have 287 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: a bigger rist, you might need a seven. If you 288 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: have a smaller rist, you might need a smaller size. 289 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: All right, Valentina says, I need a few suggestions on 290 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: online sales sites. I usually have yard sales once to 291 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: twice a year to clean house, but everything going on, 292 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,439 Speaker 1: I don't feel comfortable having one. With so many sites 293 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: to sell from home, I'm not sure which is the 294 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: best and easiest for a non tech savvy person. I 295 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: would recommend offer up so well, I'd recommend too. I 296 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: would say offer up, and they just bought the other 297 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: one called let's let's go or let go, Let's go, 298 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 1: let go, So I would recommend the offer up app 299 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: which now has uh let Go, and then Facebook Marketplace. 300 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: Those are the two that I would recommend. And we 301 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: did a story about this. I think it was two 302 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: years ago. It's been a while, and my friend who 303 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: sells a bunch of stuff on these apps, he recommended 304 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: those two and it's funny that they merged offer up 305 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: and let. 306 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 2: Go, Oh, let Go. 307 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: Now I've sold stuff on offer up. Personally, it's great, 308 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: it's easy, it's simple. It's kind of like a little chat. 309 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: You post stuff from your phone. People text you and 310 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: then you text back and you say, all right, let's meet. 311 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: And I did sell stuff through the pandemic and I 312 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: just put on a mask. The other person had a 313 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: mask and. 314 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 2: It was great. 315 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: And you know, you can use cash. I guess you 316 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: could use Venmo if you wanted to, but cash is king. 317 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: Facebook Marketplace is neat because it's built into Facebook, so 318 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: it's just there. And also I think I would assume 319 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: that Facebook. If I search for a new boat on Facebook, 320 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: I would assume that would put some of those Facebook 321 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: Marketplace adds in my feed for a new boat, because 322 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: if someone's selling it locally, there's like, hey, here you go. 323 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: That's kind of using the magic of what they know 324 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: about me to market to me. The other thing I 325 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: would recommend if you're using one of these services and 326 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: you don't want to give out your phone number is 327 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: an app called burner b U r n er, and 328 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: that will provide you with a temporary phone number that 329 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: people can call or text for a low fee. And 330 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: then the other recommendation the article that we did, my 331 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: friend Chris said is the best day to sell is Sunday. 332 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: I guess Sunday is a day of leisure. People are 333 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: looking to, you know, do things around the house, sell stuff, 334 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: buy stuff, whatever. But those are the places I'd recommend 335 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: and just you know, obviously be safe, be aware, and 336 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: it generally helps to have someone with you when you 337 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: do that in person handoff, I would just recommend that 338 00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: as well. Let's talk about another Apple Why this is 339 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: an Apple Watch. There's gonna be a lot of Apple news, 340 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: so spoiler alert. Apple Watch S is the new I guess, 341 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: lower priced Apple Watch. And the big difference between the 342 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: Apple Watch S is the display. I have not gone 343 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: hands on with this just yet, but the display and 344 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: also the sensors that you get. So two main sensors 345 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: you do not get in the Apple Watch s are 346 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: the EKG and the new Blood Oxygen. So otherwise you 347 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: get pretty much what you need. You get GPS, you 348 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: get accelerometer, you get gyroscope, you get the always on altimeter, 349 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: you get fall detection, you get emergency SOS, you get 350 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: the noise app. 351 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 2: So you do get a lot of stuff in this s. 352 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 2: I think that they just wanted to make something that 353 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 2: was a little bit cheaper than the big one, and 354 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 2: it also has a lesser processor. 355 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: So Apple very very smart company. Since they make all 356 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: these processors, it's like, well, why make this processor? They 357 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: make a new one every year, but then they've got 358 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: the old ones that are still pretty good, and so 359 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: they put those in their products that are a little 360 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 1: bit cheaper because they've already put all the R and 361 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: D into these processors, so why not get more use 362 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 1: out of them. The Apple Watch SE also has a 363 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: speaker and a microphone Siri walkie talkie. Like I said, 364 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: fall detection. Trying to see what else it has in here, Yeah, 365 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,479 Speaker 1: two seventy nine starting at for the GPS version. The 366 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,959 Speaker 1: GPS plus cellular starts at three twenty nine, And I 367 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 1: think that this is a great option if you don't 368 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: need the blood oxygen and also the heart rate stuff, 369 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: or it's not heart rate because it still will take 370 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 1: your heart rate, it's just not going to do the ECG. 371 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,360 Speaker 1: So that's like the heart you know, when it detects 372 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 1: if your heart has a fib or something like that. 373 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: So this is a great solution. It's less expensive. And 374 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: also they're targeting it towards their new family setup because 375 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: a lot of parents are going to be buying Apple 376 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: watches for their kids now. And I will get into 377 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 1: that after the next question. I will explain all of that, 378 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: all right, Chris says. And I know I'm going through 379 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 1: this stuff fast. I just feel like I have so 380 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: much stuff to go through that I want to get 381 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: through it all. Chris says, I follow you and a listener. 382 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: You make me look techy to my grandchildren. 383 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 2: Thank you. 384 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: I have Wi Fi from Frontier since they were a Verizon. 385 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: My router is a Verizon. I've had it for years. 386 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: Should I buy my own? What is the benefit of 387 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,919 Speaker 1: replacing Chris? So, the benefit, Chris is that you would 388 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: theoretically get higher speeds, but only if you subscribe to 389 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: higher speeds. So what you need to do is number one, 390 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: call Frontier and ask them and just say, hey, what 391 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: is the speed that I'm supposed to be getting at 392 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 1: my house? And they may say something like one hundred, 393 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: and you go, okay, well here's my router. Can my 394 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: router get to one hundred? Most routers can. It's really 395 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: I think that the well, sorry, a lot of the 396 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: older route couldn't get the higher speeds. They were a 397 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 1: different I think it was called dosis doccis. So there's 398 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 1: like a certain level of software on those modems or 399 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: maybe it was the whatever the whatever the specs were. 400 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: They just couldn't handle the higher speed, so that when 401 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: you got newer, higher Internet they would say, oh, we 402 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: have to swap out your modem. So I don't know 403 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: if that's the case with you, but this kind of 404 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,239 Speaker 1: applies to if you're listening and you have had your 405 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,439 Speaker 1: router for a long long time, and maybe your company 406 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: has increased speeds in your area. 407 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 2: You can't really. 408 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: Take advantage of those speeds if you have one of 409 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: these older routers. But the only way to figure that 410 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: out is to really ask, and so call up Frontier 411 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 1: say what's the speed I'm paying for? And is my 412 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 1: router able to handle that. If they say yes, then 413 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: you're fine. If you want to upgrade and get faster speed, 414 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: you probably will need a. 415 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 2: Newer router with the newer specs. 416 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: So if it's been this long, which sounds like it's 417 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 1: been a while, you it's in your best interest to 418 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: figure out if you the newer router, and the benefit 419 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 1: of replacing again is just those faster speeds and also 420 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: maybe the Wi Fi network. So back in the day 421 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: the routers might have only had a two point four 422 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,360 Speaker 1: gigahertz network. Maybe now they have two point. 423 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 2: Four gigaherts and five gigaherts. 424 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: So again I would just call Frontier, talk to them, 425 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 1: ask them and see what they say. And if you're 426 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 1: paying for a router, you're paying for a rental of 427 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: this modem, then you know, if it's included anyway, you 428 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: might as well get the new one. Might just be 429 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: a little bit of a hassle of switching it out. 430 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: You might have to do that yourself. Every company is different. 431 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: A lot of stuff is self installed nowadays. But again, yeah, 432 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: just see what the deal is with your speed and 433 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 1: if your modem can handle it. If they can't, get 434 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: the new one, good question. Well, I promised i'd talk 435 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: about the new Apple Watch Family Setup, and this is brilliant. 436 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 1: Apple is going to sell a whole lot of watches 437 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 1: thanks to this new feature and on this podcast. Although 438 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: I have no good way of figure out what I've 439 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: said on this podcast, you know what I should do. 440 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 1: I should transcribe each episode after I'm done with it, 441 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: because there's always like little things that I say that 442 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,199 Speaker 1: I want to remember or bring back and I can 443 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: never remember. But I know for a fact on this podcast, 444 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: I talked about the fact that Apple should free the 445 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: iPhone from the or sorry, free the Apple Watch from 446 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: the iPhone, because overnight it would become the most popular 447 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: kids watch in America. And if you've ever seen these 448 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: kids watches, they are terrible. They're just they're terrible. They're 449 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: really gross. They're big, they're bulky, they're expensive, the software 450 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: is horrible. Kids are wearing them and it's like this 451 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: giant thing on their wrist. Well, I said that Apple 452 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: should make the Apple Watch work with kids, and they 453 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 1: did so. For the first time, an Apple Watch can 454 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: be set up through a parent's iPhone through this feature 455 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: called family set Up, so the parent sets up the 456 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: Apple Watch through their phone, and then they can monitor 457 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: pretty much what the kid is able to do on 458 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 1: the device. So what does the kid get? They get texting, 459 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,679 Speaker 1: they get calling, they get Apple Maps, they get Siri, 460 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: they get alarms, they get the app store. But the 461 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: parents can pretty much regulate everything that's available on their 462 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,239 Speaker 1: device and what they can do and when they can 463 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: do it, kind of like screen time but for the watch. 464 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 2: But the reality of this. 465 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: Is that this is amazing for parents, and I get it. 466 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: I don't want to get into the whole debate over, 467 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: you know, whether kids should have a phone or device. 468 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 2: I don't think they should. 469 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 1: I think you should wait as long as humanly possible 470 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: to give them to your kids. But the reality is, 471 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:34,959 Speaker 1: do my kids have an iPad? 472 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 2: Yes? They do. Do they love it? Absolutely? 473 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 1: Do I have to pry it from their tiny little 474 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: hands every once in a while, Yes, But that's the 475 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: world we live in. I don't know what to say. 476 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: Am I on my phone more than I should be? 477 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 2: Probably? 478 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: Did you watch the Social Dilemma documentary on Netflix? If 479 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,439 Speaker 1: you didn't, please watch it because it's very eye opening, 480 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: even though I already kind of knew what they're talking 481 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: about all These notifications are just there to lure you in. 482 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: They're like the equivalent of when you went fishing, you 483 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: had a lure that was shiny and the fish would 484 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 1: you go for it? Well, that's what these notifications are. 485 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: They're shiny little objects that they dangle in front of 486 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: us and we go, Oh, what's that? Someone liked my picture? 487 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 2: What's that? Someone commented? What's that? Someone texted me? 488 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I gotta check my phone right now. 489 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 1: And I'm guilty of it all the time. And that's 490 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: why I have most of my notifications turned off. But 491 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 1: these apps are tricky. They make notifications kind of tricky 492 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 1: because you don't want to turn off all of the 493 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: notifications because you might miss an important one that you 494 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: actually need. And so anyway, round and round in circles 495 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: we go. So here is the trick about family set up. When, 496 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: as I understand it, from Apple, they want you to 497 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 1: use an Apple Watch that has a cellular antenna in it. 498 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: So you actually need to use an Apple Watch with cellular, 499 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: but from what I'm hearing, it sounds like you don't 500 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: necessarily have They don't require you to activate the cellular 501 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: although it is only strongly suggested. 502 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 2: That you do that. 503 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: And the reason they say that is because think about it, 504 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: your kids at school, your kid is at their friend's house, 505 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 1: your kid is at the playground. These are places where 506 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: they may not have the Wi Fi connection available on 507 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: their watch, or they're not gonna be able to connect 508 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: to Wi Fi because when they go to the mall, 509 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: yeah there's free Wi Fi, but what kid is gonna 510 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 1: sit there and connect it on their Apple Watch. Now, 511 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: if your kids ate and go to the mall by themselves, 512 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: that's a whole nother story that's really not probably not happening. 513 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: But the reality is there are lots of places where 514 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: they would not necessarily have a Wi Fi connection. And 515 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: so Apple is asking parents to use a watch or 516 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: requiring that parents use a watch with cellular and it 517 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: seems like you can still use this feature, but they 518 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: want you to activate the cellular so that you get 519 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,479 Speaker 1: the full use out of this entire thing. And what 520 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: they can do is they kind of have a phone 521 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: on their wrists. They can make calls, they have their 522 00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: own I Message, you know, they can send texts, they 523 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: can do a whole bunch of stuff. 524 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 2: I mean, it's an Apple Watch. 525 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 1: And so they can also use emergency sos so they 526 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: can press the side button and notify people automatically. There's 527 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 1: medical idea on this thing. There's a feature called school Time, 528 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 1: which this is a special watch face designed for parents 529 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: and teachers. So this is a watch face called school 530 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: Time that when it's on there, you can look at 531 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: it and be like, okay, cool. The apps are restricted 532 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: and do not disturb is turned on, so during school. 533 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: Because Apple already saw that some teachers are gonna have 534 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: a problem with this, they will be able to see 535 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 1: that school Time watch face and say, Okay, Johnny is 536 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: paying attention because he's got that on, so he's not 537 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: sitting there playing with his watch. So Family Setup is available. 538 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: I again have not tested this just yet. I will 539 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: be testing this to see how it works. But the 540 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: reality is I think this is really really smart. And 541 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: here's the way they put it. To set up Apple 542 00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: Watch with family set up to a new assistant guides 543 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 1: users through the configuration steps on iPhone. Family setup requires 544 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: family sharing and an Apple ID for the child or 545 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,479 Speaker 1: older member of the household, and cellular service enables all 546 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: of its features. So it's not saying you have to 547 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: but you will have to use a watch with cellular, 548 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: So no matter what, you have to have an Apple 549 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: Watch Series four or an Apple Watch se with cellular. 550 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 2: So that makes it a little bit more expensive to 551 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 2: do that. 552 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: And then I'm looking at these plans, like T Mobile 553 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: emailed me and they said, oh, we have a great 554 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 1: new plan for the kids with his family set up. 555 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 1: It's ten dollars a month on promo for a limited time, 556 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: and that's including a you know, discount of something and 557 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: another discount. 558 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 2: I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa? 559 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: Hold on to add an Apple Watch to an iPhone 560 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: plan was always ten bucks a month, and now you're 561 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: telling me that these plans are going to be more expensive. 562 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 2: So it sounds like. 563 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: The wireless carriers really like this because they're going to 564 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: be able to charge Johnny twenty five dollars because well, 565 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: they don't have a an iPhone associated with this, so 566 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 1: we need to. 567 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 2: Charge them more. 568 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 1: Even though we all know Apple watches are using like 569 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 1: a tiny they're data sippers. They're using a tiny bit 570 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: of data. I mean, mine is like it's almost negligent 571 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 1: how much it is using. And yet you know I 572 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 1: only pay a ten bucks a month, thankfully, but you know, 573 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: the twenty five dollars a month. If that's where they 574 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 1: want to try to charge us for this family setup. 575 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 2: That's a little steep. 576 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: But with that said, it does give you peace of mind. 577 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 1: And my wife and I were debating this last night. 578 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: I get it, you don't have to agree that kids 579 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: need a watch or anything, but there are many many 580 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: circumstances where parents will feel more at ease knowing that 581 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 1: their kids are connected using this setup. 582 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 2: Dominic says Rich. 583 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 1: Do you have any recommendations for blue light filter screens 584 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: for the Mac Book Air? Thanks for your great tips 585 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: and Dominic, the answer is no, I do not. Now, 586 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,919 Speaker 1: there are a couple things out. Recommend Number one, I've 587 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: been testing out blue blocking glasses. Apparently a lot of 588 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: people are emailing me about these because they're feeling the 589 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: strain on their eyes because they're working from. 590 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 2: Home so much. 591 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: I don't you know. I've tried to wear them for 592 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 1: the last couple of mornings. I don't really see a difference. 593 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe a little bit, but it could be 594 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: psychological that I feel better. But the other feature I 595 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: would definitely turn on in your Mac is the. 596 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 2: I think it's called night shift. 597 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, so go into your Mac preference system preferences, search 598 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 1: for night shift on your display, and night shift automatically 599 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: shifts the color of your display to the warmer end 600 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: of the color spectrum after dark. This can help you 601 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: get a better night's sleep. So that's mainly meant for, 602 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: you know, blocking out a little bit of that blue 603 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: light during the night, you know, the afternoon hours till 604 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: you know bed, but you can also use it during 605 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: the day if you want. Again, I don't know, it's 606 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: one of these things where I know we hear a 607 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: lot about blue blocking. We're actually working on a story 608 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: about that for KTLA. Apparently our interviews came back from 609 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: my producer Megan, and she said that one person said yes, yes, yes, 610 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: it's great, and the other person said no, no, no, 611 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: it's not that great, So we will find out. I 612 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 1: think it's one of these things where if it makes 613 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: you feel better and you personally feel better using a 614 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: blue light filter, then go ahead. And to answer your question, 615 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: I would assume that three M has some privacy screens 616 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: or some sort of screens you can attach that have 617 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: blue light filter in them, but I'm not completely sure, 618 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: but if you want, you can also try some blue 619 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: light blocking glasses, and there are a whole bunch like Felix. 620 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: Gray is the big one that makes them. I think WARB. 621 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: Parker does it. I've been testing. Let's see what are 622 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: the ones I'm testing. These are called pixel pix e 623 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: L pixel blue blockers. I've got the toros, which are nice. 624 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're great. They're just they feel like 625 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: window glasses, but they block blue light. So you know, 626 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: if it makes you feel better, do it. But I 627 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: can't say with certainty that it works or it's fantastic. 628 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: All right, So more Apple News. Apple One. This is 629 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: the subscription bundle plan. So if you have a bunch 630 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: of these Apple services like Apple Music, Apple TV plus 631 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: Apple Arcade, iCloud and more, you can get them all 632 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: now in one plan. So let me just go over 633 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: these plans that launch later this year. Individual plan includes 634 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: Apple Music, Apple TV plus Apple Arcade and fifty gigs 635 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: of iCloud storage that is fifteen dollars a month. Then 636 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: you've got the Family plan. This includes Apple Music, Apple 637 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: TV plus Apple Arcade, and two hundred gigs of iCloud 638 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: storage that is twenty dollars a month and can be 639 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: shared among six family members. 640 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 2: So let's just do the math. 641 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: If you're paying for Apple Music Family Plan, which I 642 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: think is fifteen, Apple TV Plus, which I don't think 643 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 1: anyone's paying for yet, but Apple Arcade, which I am, 644 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: that's five dollars a month, so right, there is twenty 645 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 1: bucks a month. So now you get the other two 646 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: for free, Apple TV Plus and two hundred gigs of 647 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: iCloud storage, which I think I pay three dollars a 648 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: month for, so right there is gonna save you eight bucks. 649 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: Then you've got the Premiere Plan. This is Apple Music, 650 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: Apple TV Plus, Apple Arcade, Apple Newsplus, Apple Fitness Plus, 651 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: and two terabytes of iCloud storage, all for thirty dollars 652 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: a month that can be shared among six family members. 653 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 1: And it sounds a lot thirty dollars a month, but 654 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: that is a fantastic deal. If you purchased all those 655 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: things separately, I mean Apple Music, that's let's just say 656 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 1: it's fifteen, Apple TV Plus. I think it's five. That's twenty, 657 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 1: Apple Arcade, twenty five, Apple News ten. That's thirty five, 658 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: Apple Fitness that's ten forty five two terabytes of storage. 659 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: I think it's ten fifty five sixty five so that's 660 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: like thirty dollars a month you're saving. So that's a 661 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: pretty good deal. I don't know which one I'll do. 662 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 2: I might do. 663 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: I already see the problem is I get Apple Music 664 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: including my Verizon plan, So that makes it very very 665 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 1: tricky because I have to extract that from my plan 666 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: and see but I I would think the Family Plan 667 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: would be really good for me for twenty bucks a month, 668 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna look into that. Maybe I can downgrade 669 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: my Verizon plant and not include the music. You know what, 670 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: Maybe I'll do that, downgrade my Verizon plant to not 671 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: include But then I got then I got rid of 672 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: the gotta get rid of the HD video streaming. If 673 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: you drop down anyway, it's very complicated. So let me 674 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: go over another another subscription service I mentioned called Apple 675 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: Fitness Plus. This is sort of just a lot of 676 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: people are saying it's their answer to Peloton, which is true, 677 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: but there's a lot of fitness apps out there that 678 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: do video classes. Peloton is just the most popular. But 679 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: one I really like is called Aptive. They do they 680 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: started out as audio, now they do video. But Fitness 681 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: Plus is Apple's version, so you know, it's gonna be 682 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: more apply. You know, it's gonna keep you in that 683 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: Apple ecosystem with the Apple Watch, the Apple TV, and 684 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: of course the iPad and the iPhone. Most of the 685 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 1: workouts can be done with no equipment or just a 686 00:32:55,960 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: set of dumbbells. They've got cycling, treadmill, rowing, hit, strength, yoga, 687 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 1: dance core, and mindful cool down. And they also have 688 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: an absolute beginner program. This would be good for me, 689 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,719 Speaker 1: just to give you the basics of movement and exercise. 690 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 1: And the big thing that Apple is promoting in this 691 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: is the on screen kind of handoff of information between 692 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 1: your Apple Watch and your iPad or however you're doing 693 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 1: these things. So on screen you're gonna see all your metrics, 694 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 1: like in real time, so how many calories you're burning, 695 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: your heart rate, your rings and if you close a ring, 696 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: it's going to like burst on the screen, so you 697 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: can be very excited. Then of course, they have this 698 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 1: curated selection of fitness trainers that are all Apple employees now, 699 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 1: and they're all sort of different. You know, some are 700 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: martial arts backgrounds, some are yogis, some are runners. It's 701 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 1: kind of like the way Peloton does it. It's they've 702 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: got all these really kind of fun, energetic folks that 703 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 1: you can identify with, right, so that you find the 704 00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: people that you identify with, and that's the classes that 705 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 1: you sort of stick to. So I've got my favorite 706 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: trainers on Peloton. One interesting thing that Apple said, and 707 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: that I think they called this out for a reason. 708 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: They said, you know, privacy is huge on this, and 709 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: the workouts or the trainers that you use will not 710 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: be stored with your Apple ID, So basically this stays 711 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,240 Speaker 1: private on your phone. So I find that really interesting 712 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 1: because you know, Peloton has a whole bunch of data 713 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,359 Speaker 1: on us about who we like to take classes with 714 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,800 Speaker 1: and you know how we're working out. But the workout 715 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: data here is staying private, which I find to be 716 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 1: really different compared to what everyone else is doing. Apple 717 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,720 Speaker 1: Fitness Plus is ten dollars a month or eighty dollars 718 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 1: for a year. It's going to launch sometime later this year. 719 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 1: All right, next question from Wilmer. Hey, Rich, I'd like 720 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 1: to start a podcast. Any insight on the equipment one 721 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 1: should purchase in order to make it sound as good 722 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: as yours. The podcast would be interview style, so two 723 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 1: to four mics would be the ideal setup I'm looking for. Well, 724 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:12,399 Speaker 1: here's my advice, because I've been doing this podcast for many, 725 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,760 Speaker 1: many years, and if you've been listening since the beginning, 726 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 1: you know that it is sounded vastly different over the years. 727 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 1: And I like to think that I've improved it, but 728 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: a lot of it stayed the same. I mean, most 729 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: of it's just me talking into a microphone. And yes, 730 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,439 Speaker 1: I try to do the occasional callers, occasional guest host 731 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,240 Speaker 1: to bring in you know, other folks to read the questions, 732 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,839 Speaker 1: like producer Megan. But at the end of the day, 733 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 1: if you're starting a podcast, you know, the reality is 734 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: you just need a. 735 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:41,879 Speaker 2: Board and microphones. 736 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,319 Speaker 1: So I would recommend just getting I started with a 737 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 1: really inexpensive mixer, a barringer mixer that I bought on Amazon, 738 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,880 Speaker 1: and I would just look for a USB version of that, 739 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 1: and then look for some mics. Go on YouTube and 740 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,760 Speaker 1: everyone recommends stuff that they want, you know, beginner podcasts. 741 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 2: Just see, just get a good, good mic, a good 742 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 2: MIC's stand. 743 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 1: I've got like an extension arm stand and you know, 744 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 1: a mixer, and that's all you need. But the reality 745 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 1: is just kind of upgrade as you go along, So 746 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 1: I assume you're not going to be making millions of 747 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: dollars on this podcast overnight. So my advice is to 748 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,280 Speaker 1: just build as you get into a groove. And my 749 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 1: my biggest thing with this podcast is I want to 750 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 1: be able to do it on a regular basis, So 751 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to just have one episode one week 752 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,360 Speaker 1: and then ah, three weeks go by and I'm on 753 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 1: vacation and I don't do another one for another month, 754 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: and how annoying is that? And yes, there's been times 755 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,840 Speaker 1: when I go on vacation and I don't file a podcast. 756 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 1: That happens a couple times a year, but most of 757 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,280 Speaker 1: the time I have stuck to my schedule of Thursday 758 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:47,760 Speaker 1: or Friday recording to put the podcast out, and that's 759 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,279 Speaker 1: what I want to do, and that's the main thing. 760 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 1: It's like, I think it's more important to stick to 761 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: a schedule than to worry about the quality being being perfect, 762 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,359 Speaker 1: perfect perfect. And as you get along, you can get 763 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,280 Speaker 1: more things. In my room here, I've got little drapes 764 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 1: that I are little moving blankets from Harbor Freight that 765 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,439 Speaker 1: you can just hang on the wall or put over 766 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 1: your furniture so that the room doesn't sound so hollowy. 767 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 1: I've got an extension arm. Like I said that that works, 768 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 1: and now I've got the road the road Caster. Let's 769 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,279 Speaker 1: see what are these mics. The mics are the road 770 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,839 Speaker 1: pro Caster, the road Caster Pro. It's always like I think, 771 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 1: once pro Roadcaster and then road Caster Pro. But those 772 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,839 Speaker 1: are the things I use to do this podcast. And 773 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 1: I also use an app called Seconds to time things 774 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,879 Speaker 1: out so that I can stay on time and stay 775 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: on task. But again, you know, then I just use 776 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 1: a pair of Apple headphones. But again it just just 777 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 1: start small and build up as you go along. The 778 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,399 Speaker 1: main thing is to just you know, you can start 779 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 1: with the app called Anchor and just record it into 780 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,720 Speaker 1: your iPhone. But if you have two to four people, 781 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 1: you know, you can't really do that, I don't think, 782 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 1: But you know, you can experiment along the way. I've 783 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 1: experimented with a lot of different ways of doing this, 784 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 1: and you know, just see what works for you, what 785 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 1: works for your podcast, and most importantly, just continue to 786 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:01,960 Speaker 1: do it. 787 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 2: All right. 788 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,359 Speaker 1: I don't even want to talk about this story because 789 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 1: I know by the time you hear this, who knows 790 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,839 Speaker 1: if it's still going to be happening, but I'll mention 791 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:12,800 Speaker 1: it since it's really interesting. But the US is going 792 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 1: to start banning downloads new downloads of TikTok and we Chat. 793 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:21,319 Speaker 1: This news dropped from the US Commerce Department, and we've 794 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 1: heard back and forth about TikTok for a couple months now. 795 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 1: Now we Chat is somehow in the mix. I wasn't 796 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 1: aware of that before, but now it is. And so 797 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 1: we Chat and TikTok are both owned or I guess 798 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're owned by the Chinese government, 799 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 1: but they obviously are based in China, and that scares 800 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 1: the US, and so the US is worried that some 801 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 1: of the data that these apps collect could be, you know, 802 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 1: somehow funneled to the Chinese government, and so therefore they 803 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:53,360 Speaker 1: are either banning them outright or just kind of limiting 804 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 1: their access here in the US. So Sunday, September twentieth, 805 00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 1: theoretically you will not be able to download Chat or 806 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:01,480 Speaker 1: TikTok on. 807 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,360 Speaker 2: Google Play or the Apple App Store. 808 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:08,080 Speaker 1: And then they're going a step further and on November twelfth, 809 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,239 Speaker 1: for TikTok, they're gonna really kind of clamp down on 810 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,320 Speaker 1: it and say that you know, ISPs here in the 811 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 1: US can't even give people access, So there's basically no 812 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 1: way you'd be able. 813 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,759 Speaker 2: To access TikTok after November twelfth. Do I think that's 814 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 2: gonna happen. Absolutely not. I think that this is gonna 815 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:22,720 Speaker 2: be resolved. 816 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 1: I think that this is a little bit of politics 817 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 1: mixed into a little bit of fear, mixed into a 818 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,239 Speaker 1: little bit of you know, someone wants to deal and 819 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 1: so I'm not too concerned that TikTok is going to 820 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 1: go away in the US. And we Chat, I mean, 821 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 1: that's that's pretty concerning because we Chat is the the 822 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:46,360 Speaker 1: app over in China. And so if you imagine people 823 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,920 Speaker 1: that are here in the US that are conversing with 824 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,400 Speaker 1: their friends and family in China, they're probably using we Chat. 825 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 1: And so if that's cut off here, that's gonna be 826 00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,359 Speaker 1: a problem because people rely on that. Yes, you can 827 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,920 Speaker 1: find something else, but you know, so in China you're 828 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 1: not allowed to use some of these other options, which 829 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 1: would be like something like Facebook or you know, Instagram, 830 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,000 Speaker 1: you can't really access those. Now that goes to this 831 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 1: whole big problem of you know, is China suppressing. 832 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 2: Speech over there? Yeah? Probably, because when I was over there. 833 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,760 Speaker 1: It's really tough to talk to people in the US 834 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 1: unless you're on the terms that China. 835 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:22,399 Speaker 2: Wants you to use. 836 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 1: So do I think this is gonna happen in full? 837 00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,840 Speaker 1: I don't think so, but it's something to be aware of. 838 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,440 Speaker 1: And if you want these apps on your phone, you 839 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 1: gotta download them now and see what happens. So for 840 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 1: for we Chat, it seems like it's gonna go away, 841 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 1: like all the functionality seems like it's gonna go away 842 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 1: over the weekend on September twentieth. 843 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:44,160 Speaker 2: But I don't know. 844 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I assume there's gonna be some sort of 845 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,440 Speaker 1: last minute deal to save these things. But for TikTok, 846 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,800 Speaker 1: you have a little bit longer November twelfth. But again, 847 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 1: you won't be able to download either of these theoretically 848 00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,759 Speaker 1: after Sunday, September twentieth, So we're gonna keep an eye 849 00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,799 Speaker 1: on that one. See what's gonna happen. But now you 850 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:06,840 Speaker 1: know what the deal is, all right? Do I have 851 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:08,400 Speaker 1: another question here. 852 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 2: Online sales? We did that? Ah, here we go. 853 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 1: Robert says, good afternoon, Rich you said you only got 854 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:19,400 Speaker 1: good mornings. 855 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,239 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's funny. I did say that. Oh you 856 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:22,239 Speaker 2: listened to the podcast. 857 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:26,200 Speaker 1: I installed iOS fourteen on both and both my iPhone 858 00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 1: and iPad no longer show chrome Cast as an option 859 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,279 Speaker 1: to cast. They still show the fire TV stick. Do 860 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 1: you have an idea on how to cast with a 861 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 1: new update? 862 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:33,560 Speaker 2: Thank you. 863 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,840 Speaker 1: So what I think is happening, Robert, is there's a 864 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 1: lot of new security procedures built into iOS fourteen, and 865 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 1: one of those I don't know if you've noticed, but 866 00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,880 Speaker 1: every app that you open it says can this app 867 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,800 Speaker 1: discover things on your network? And you're like, wait, what 868 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 1: what do you mean discover things on my network? So 869 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,359 Speaker 1: the inkling is to say no. And I have a 870 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 1: feeling that to number one, you got to do two things. 871 00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 1: Number one, you got to open up these apps again 872 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 1: to see if you mistakenly hit no to the network discovery. 873 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,160 Speaker 1: Because what that network discovery is it is like it's saying, 874 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,279 Speaker 1: like YouTube, when you open it up, it needs to 875 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 1: be able to look on your network, on your Wi 876 00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,880 Speaker 1: Fi network and discover the Chrome cast device. That's what 877 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,440 Speaker 1: it's asking for. I know it sounds scary, and Apple 878 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,360 Speaker 1: makes all these things sound very scary, like this app 879 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,640 Speaker 1: got your precise location seventeen thousand times. Do you want 880 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,759 Speaker 1: to allow that? You're like, yeah, it's Google Maps. I 881 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,000 Speaker 1: mean I think it needs that to function. Now for 882 00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:28,799 Speaker 1: other apps you don't need that, And I think it's 883 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,840 Speaker 1: very smart that Apple's done this because for something like 884 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,560 Speaker 1: a photo app, like you know, a photo editing app 885 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,320 Speaker 1: that makes your face look better, does not need access 886 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,080 Speaker 1: to your location twenty four to seven. So I think 887 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:43,440 Speaker 1: it's smart that Apple's done this, But it does get confusing. 888 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:47,000 Speaker 1: So anyway, go ahead and open up these apps. Make 889 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,800 Speaker 1: sure that you are saying yes to network discovery on 890 00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:53,560 Speaker 1: the ones that need to discover the things on your network. 891 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 1: So if it's something like you're trying to use, you know, 892 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,359 Speaker 1: Hulu and you want a Chrome cast, and maybe you 893 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:04,000 Speaker 1: can if it's not showing up, delete Hulu, reinstall it, 894 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,120 Speaker 1: and when you get to that network discovery question, just 895 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,080 Speaker 1: say yes, good question. 896 00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:08,920 Speaker 2: All right. 897 00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 1: We have the PlayStation five details launching this November. Three 898 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,239 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety nine dollars for the digital edition, four 899 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,239 Speaker 1: ninety nine for the addition with an Ultra HD Blu 900 00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:21,960 Speaker 1: Ray disk drive, so one hundred bucks more for the 901 00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,560 Speaker 1: disk drive, which you may or may not need. I 902 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,200 Speaker 1: don't think you need it, but you know I don't. 903 00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,080 Speaker 1: I have not had a disk drive in my house 904 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 1: in so long. Both use the same processor, which is 905 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,920 Speaker 1: kind of cool, high fidel De graphics up to four K. 906 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,000 Speaker 1: They both have the same high speed solid state drive, 907 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:45,239 Speaker 1: and both models offer better dual Sense wireless controllers with. 908 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:45,920 Speaker 2: Three D audio. 909 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:50,000 Speaker 1: So you basically get the same thing, except a disk 910 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:53,160 Speaker 1: drive on one, no disk drive on the other. Did 911 00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 1: I say when it's launching? It is coming to us 912 00:43:56,120 --> 00:44:01,760 Speaker 1: on November twelfth, So this price at three makes the 913 00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 1: digital edition of the PlayStation five one hundred dollars more 914 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 1: than the digital edition of the Xbox series. I think 915 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:15,360 Speaker 1: it's the s the smaller one, So that's a decision 916 00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 1: you have to make. There are a lot of options 917 00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,399 Speaker 1: with this thing, too, a lot of accessories you've got. 918 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,399 Speaker 1: Let's see, a dual Sense wireless controller is seventy bucks 919 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,440 Speaker 1: if you want extra one of those. They've got a 920 00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 1: three D wireless headset with three D audio that's one 921 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,960 Speaker 1: hundred bucks, with a microphone, HD camera sixty bucks, a 922 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:35,239 Speaker 1: remote control thirty dollars, and a charging station for your 923 00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,759 Speaker 1: remote controls all right, sorry for your two controllers, that's 924 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,920 Speaker 1: thirty dollars, so oo start saving now for those holidays. 925 00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 1: I'm likely getting my kids the Xbox I think it's gosh, 926 00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:48,160 Speaker 1: which one is it? 927 00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:52,560 Speaker 2: The Xbox Series? Is it the S? I'm thinking it's 928 00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,040 Speaker 2: the S, right, yeah, the S. So I want the S. 929 00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,120 Speaker 1: So that one's the digital Xbox and I think my 930 00:44:58,200 --> 00:44:59,719 Speaker 1: kids will like that one. Oh I hear my kids 931 00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 1: scream right now? Isn't that funny? Working from home? It's 932 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,600 Speaker 1: just the stuff that goes on is just wild, because 933 00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,400 Speaker 1: you know, we're all here, my wife, me, my two kids, 934 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,920 Speaker 1: and my one kid is in kindergarten. He doesn't you know, 935 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,680 Speaker 1: it's really tough for kindergartener to be on Zoom for classes. 936 00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:19,360 Speaker 1: So my other one, my older kid, takes everything very seriously, 937 00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:21,560 Speaker 1: and the little one, of course, gets bored after a 938 00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,719 Speaker 1: couple of minutes, and he starts jumping around, you know, 939 00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:25,359 Speaker 1: upsetting my older kid. 940 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:26,480 Speaker 2: It is pretty wild. 941 00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,359 Speaker 1: So if you hear them screaming in the background, that's 942 00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,600 Speaker 1: the backstory. Now, you know, let's go to one more 943 00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:33,399 Speaker 1: story or do I have time for one? 944 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:33,759 Speaker 2: Or two? 945 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,640 Speaker 1: Maybe two quick stories here? Arlow has a new wire 946 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 1: free video doorbell. This is a one and ninety nine 947 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,879 Speaker 1: dollars device that's launching in a little bit later this year. 948 00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,600 Speaker 1: But it's kind of like the same thing as their 949 00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:50,879 Speaker 1: wired video doorbell, except it has. 950 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:51,960 Speaker 2: You know, it's battery. 951 00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:56,719 Speaker 1: So the the interesting feature about this is that they 952 00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:58,360 Speaker 1: have this thing. Now I need to test this outcause 953 00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,560 Speaker 1: I'm very curious how this works. But they call it 954 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,680 Speaker 1: direct to mobile video call. So I get a lot 955 00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,040 Speaker 1: of emails from folks that have a ring video doorbell 956 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:08,600 Speaker 1: and they say, ah, my ring takes so long. By 957 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,160 Speaker 1: the time I get the notification, tap it, and then 958 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,960 Speaker 1: the video starts, the person's either walked away or it's 959 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,120 Speaker 1: just too slow. And a lot of that has to 960 00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 1: do with your Wi Fi signal, because for mine, it's 961 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,600 Speaker 1: pretty darn fast and I've got decent Wi Fi. But 962 00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,919 Speaker 1: Arlow must know that there's a pain point because they 963 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:29,680 Speaker 1: have something called direct to mobile video call, and calls 964 00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,600 Speaker 1: go to your phone directly, so you don't miss a visitor. 965 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:33,960 Speaker 1: Now what does that mean. 966 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 2: I'm not sure. 967 00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:36,319 Speaker 1: I don't think it's setting up some sort of ad 968 00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:40,640 Speaker 1: hoc network, but I guess it's somehow routing these calls 969 00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,200 Speaker 1: faster through your home Wi Fi to your phone, so 970 00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,960 Speaker 1: immediately the video stream is on your phone and you 971 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,080 Speaker 1: can answer it and see the person. Also has two 972 00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:52,279 Speaker 1: way audio video messaging, so your guests can now leave 973 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,160 Speaker 1: a voice message if you're unable to answer the door, 974 00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:56,040 Speaker 1: which is kind of cool. 975 00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:58,440 Speaker 2: HD video with HDR. 976 00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,880 Speaker 1: Night vision, it's weather resistant, it's got a built in 977 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,319 Speaker 1: siren so you can trigger it if there's a problem 978 00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:08,040 Speaker 1: at your house, and one hundred and eighty degree viewing angle. 979 00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:10,880 Speaker 1: So it is going to be one hundred ninety nine 980 00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:14,400 Speaker 1: dollars two hundred bucks when it launches later this year. 981 00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,560 Speaker 1: But again, people love Arlow because they make these video 982 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,520 Speaker 1: cameras that are super easy to put up anywhere, and 983 00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,719 Speaker 1: they were kind of the only game in town until 984 00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,120 Speaker 1: you know, Rain came along with their stick up cams, 985 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,920 Speaker 1: and then now you've got the Wisecam outdoors which. 986 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:30,600 Speaker 2: Are super cheap. 987 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,000 Speaker 1: But people love Arlow, and again, this will probably be 988 00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:37,760 Speaker 1: something if you're in that Arlow ecosystem that you'll really 989 00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:43,520 Speaker 1: like having. And I think that's all the questions I 990 00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:49,280 Speaker 1: get I had today. One more thing. Verizon is acquiring 991 00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,160 Speaker 1: Trackphone Wireless. Not much to tell you about there, but 992 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,719 Speaker 1: you know, if you have Trackphone, Verizon is going to 993 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,920 Speaker 1: be purchasing them, which you know, is kind of interesting. 994 00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:01,200 Speaker 1: I mean track phone. The The interesting thing about this 995 00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 1: is that I was under the impression that trackphone worked 996 00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:07,120 Speaker 1: with all of the mobile wireless providers, and I assume 997 00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,719 Speaker 1: that they're only going to work with Verizon now. So 998 00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:16,120 Speaker 1: it says that let's see, yeah, trackphone has approximately twenty 999 00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:20,160 Speaker 1: one million subscribers, and thirteen million of them are on Verizon, 1000 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:23,960 Speaker 1: So that leaves what eight million subscribers that are on 1001 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,040 Speaker 1: some sort of other network I'm guessing at and T. 1002 00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:28,719 Speaker 1: So I'm not sure what that means, Like, are they 1003 00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:31,160 Speaker 1: gonna make all those people switch to Verizon? I'm not sure, 1004 00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:33,320 Speaker 1: but it's just something good to know keep a lookout 1005 00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:38,160 Speaker 1: at on the horizon, because that is something that is 1006 00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:43,279 Speaker 1: one of those need to know kind of things. Oh 1007 00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:45,759 Speaker 1: my gosh, the music, it's already here. 1008 00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,840 Speaker 2: You know what that means.
