0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:19.000
<v Speaker 1>watches and more. PS five pricing details revealed a new

0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:23.360
<v Speaker 1>wireless doorbell from r Low, plus Your tech questions answered?

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:25.120
<v Speaker 2>What is going on? I'm Rich Dmiro.

0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:28.200
<v Speaker 1>This is Rich on Tech, the podcast where I talk

0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:30.520
<v Speaker 1>about the tech stuff I think you should know about,

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 1>and it's also where I answer the questions that you

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:34.239
<v Speaker 1>send me.

0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:35.840
<v Speaker 2>My name is Rich Dmiro.

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:39.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm the tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles.

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:41.920
<v Speaker 1>I know, a local news station with a tech reporter.

0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:44.559
<v Speaker 1>How interesting. But I've been doing it there for ten

0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:47.479
<v Speaker 1>years and we have a lot of fun and I

0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:50.839
<v Speaker 1>love doing what I do, and you know it if

0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>you watch me or follow me. This week was really cool.

0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 2>There is so.

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Much in this podcast today, so I will try to

0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 1>keep the items brief to keep me on time, but

0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:05.680
<v Speaker 1>there is a lot to get through because Apple revealed

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:07.920
<v Speaker 1>a whole bunch of new stuff. And I also went

0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:14.119
<v Speaker 1>to the new Amazon Fresh grocery store in Woodland Hills, California,

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 1>which is in an old Toys r US and it's

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>a new grocery store that is cool. It's kind of

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:23.480
<v Speaker 1>like the if you ever shopped on Amazon Fresh for

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.959
<v Speaker 1>your groceries that get delivered. It's kind of like that website,

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>but brought to life, so it looks really nice. It's

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 1>very modern. But the coolest thing about it is this

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Amazon Dash cart and it's a magical shopping cart that

0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 1>when you put your items inside.

0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:41.280
<v Speaker 2>It checks.

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:45.119
<v Speaker 1>You're basically doing self checkout as you go through the store,

0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 1>and so there's no checkout procedure. I used it twice yesterday,

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe three times to try it out, and you just

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.440
<v Speaker 1>put your stuff in the cart, it recognizes it. It's

0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.200
<v Speaker 1>really fast at recognizing stuff. It actually takes a little

0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 1>picture of everything you put in there, and if it

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 1>doesn't recognize it, it'll show you the black and white

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>picture and it's like what is this? And you can

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.519
<v Speaker 1>take something out of the cart and it will take

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:11.399
<v Speaker 1>it off of your tally. And that's the other neat part.

0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>There's a little screen on the cart that gives you

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:17.679
<v Speaker 1>an ongoing tallly of everything you've purchased. And I especially

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 1>like this because I've done this thing where I put

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:22.080
<v Speaker 1>my phone or calculator, you know, on the cart and

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 1>try to add things up as I go along, especially

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.200
<v Speaker 1>at Costco when I overspend.

0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:27.400
<v Speaker 2>So if you're trying to stick to a budget.

0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:30.840
<v Speaker 1>You can see exactly how much you're spending at the store,

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:33.480
<v Speaker 1>and not to mention, you know exactly how much things cost.

0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.400
<v Speaker 1>So you got to watch my video on the Amazon

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:38.639
<v Speaker 1>dash car. It is on my Facebook page Facebook dot

0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 1>com slash Rich on tech. It is just so cool

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.240
<v Speaker 1>and oh my gosh, it's the future. It really is.

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm not I don't know.

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:51.639
<v Speaker 1>I think it's just every store needs that, every store

0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.320
<v Speaker 1>needs that. Let's talk about iOS fourteen because it is

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:59.359
<v Speaker 1>now available. Perhaps you've already updated your iPhone. I had

0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 1>the beta version on my phone and then I had

0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 1>to take that off because I knew or the battery

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.359
<v Speaker 1>was just so bad. So now I've got the final

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:12.360
<v Speaker 1>version on my phone, the public iOS fourteen.

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:13.079
<v Speaker 2>And it's fantastic.

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 1>It's so interesting to me that, you know, I grew

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.680
<v Speaker 1>up kind of loving Android, and I kind of switched

0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:23.120
<v Speaker 1>over to iPhone specifically for you know, a couple of

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 1>years now. But you know, I've always swapped back and forth, and.

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:28.680
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of little things on Android that I love,

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:30.239
<v Speaker 2>but there are a lot of little.

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Things on iOS that annoyed me. But Apple just keeps

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 1>getting rid of all of my pain points. I mean,

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 1>they just keep adding these things that make everything work

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.440
<v Speaker 1>better and look better. And now with these widgets, you know,

0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>you can get Google on your home screen.

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 2>It's really cool.

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:47.160
<v Speaker 1>So a couple things to look out for in iOS fourteen,

0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 1>which I recommend you download if you want a better experience.

0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 1>There are a lot of improvements. Obviously, some people are

0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.560
<v Speaker 1>hesitant to download things right away because there might be

0:03:57.600 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 1>some bugs. I think that this is one of the

0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>most solid operating systems out of the gate. It was

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.560
<v Speaker 1>solid when it was beta except for the battery and

0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 1>I think they've fixed the battery issues. So a couple

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 1>things you can do in iOS fourteen. Number one home

0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 1>screen widgets, so you can now put widgets on your screens,

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.599
<v Speaker 1>which can give you access to information at a glance,

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 1>so your calendar Google. A lot of the third party

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:24.320
<v Speaker 1>widgets are not available just yet, but they will be

0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.440
<v Speaker 1>and once those start getting in there, it's going to

0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 1>be quite powerful. They also organize all of your apps

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:34.880
<v Speaker 1>now into categories, something called the App Library, so you

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.839
<v Speaker 1>can scroll through all of your apps in alphabetical order,

0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:41.919
<v Speaker 1>or see them in folders that Apple creates incoming Phone

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 1>calls and FaceTime calls are compact, so they don't take

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:46.599
<v Speaker 1>up the whole screen, which means if you're working on

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.200
<v Speaker 1>something Like yesterday, this happened to me. I'm working on

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.200
<v Speaker 1>something and a call comes in and I just swiped

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>it away.

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:52.279
<v Speaker 2>It was so great.

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.599
<v Speaker 1>My screen didn't go black and show me the person calling.

0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.479
<v Speaker 1>It was just perfect. It was exactly how Apple imagined it.

0:04:58.880 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Picture and picture.

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 1>You could and watch things on your screen while you're

0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.560
<v Speaker 1>doing something else. That's pretty cool. Siri.

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:06.640
<v Speaker 2>I am not a big fan of the redesign. It's

0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:07.239
<v Speaker 2>kind of weird.

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:09.560
<v Speaker 1>It's now on the bottom half of your screen in

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:11.600
<v Speaker 1>the top half, and it kind of looks weird. It's

0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:15.360
<v Speaker 1>very unappily to kind of have Siri over your home screen,

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.360
<v Speaker 1>so that's kind of strange getting used to that. In messages,

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.279
<v Speaker 1>you can now pin messages, so if you have a

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:24.840
<v Speaker 1>group of friends that you talk to regularly, you can

0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:28.800
<v Speaker 1>now swipe from left to right on that message chain

0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.760
<v Speaker 1>and then it'll reveal a little pin and you press

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:35.040
<v Speaker 1>that pin, and now those that message group will stay

0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:36.919
<v Speaker 1>at the top of your messages, so it's really easy

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:38.599
<v Speaker 1>to hop in there when you want to say something.

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 1>You can also reply to specific messages. So if you

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:43.479
<v Speaker 1>tap and hold a message in a thread, you can

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.839
<v Speaker 1>reply to that specific little message inside there, so people

0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:47.360
<v Speaker 1>know that, like.

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh, this is what he's talking about.

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.919
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of privacy enhancements. Now your phone is

0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.400
<v Speaker 1>going to show you when an app accesses your camera

0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:57.719
<v Speaker 1>or your microphone. You'll see a little green dot or

0:05:57.720 --> 0:05:59.159
<v Speaker 1>some sort of color. I'm not sure what it is,

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 1>but it's a little dot top of your phone in

0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:03.400
<v Speaker 1>the upper right hand corner. And when you swipe down

0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:07.240
<v Speaker 1>on your screen to see the control panel, it will

0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:11.039
<v Speaker 1>show you like which app recently accessed your camera or

0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 1>your audio. There's a new translay app which is pretty cool.

0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:16.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know when I'm gonna put that to you

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:19.920
<v Speaker 1>since I'm not traveling internationally anytime soon, but that's really neat.

0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:22.640
<v Speaker 1>And then weather, they bought this weather app which was

0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:24.680
<v Speaker 1>one of my favorites, called dark Sky, and so now

0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:27.400
<v Speaker 1>the weather app has gotten an update. It'll actually tell

0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:33.120
<v Speaker 1>you when it is going to rain minute by minute.

0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.479
<v Speaker 1>Let's get to the first question of the show, and

0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.039
<v Speaker 1>Laurie says, here's my question for you. My parents are

0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.640
<v Speaker 1>getting older in their eighties. Earlier today, my mom fell

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.039
<v Speaker 1>in the bedroom. Ooh sorry, she needed help. My dad

0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.880
<v Speaker 1>was in another room across a large house. My mom

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:51.240
<v Speaker 1>texted him. He did not see the message. They both

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.320
<v Speaker 1>have iPhones, they don't have Apple Watches, which I know

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 1>have the walkie talkie app. What's the best way for

0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:58.080
<v Speaker 1>them to get an emergency message to each other from

0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 1>another room in the house. They do have an Echo

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 1>dot in the kitchen. I was thinking they should get

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 1>a couple more Echo dots. Yes, that is the answer

0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:09.039
<v Speaker 1>I would say, is get a couple more Echo dots.

0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 1>There's a feature called Alexa Announcements, and this will enable

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 1>you to, oh, there goes my Alexa. This will enable

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.240
<v Speaker 1>you to have recently installed an Alexa Dot in my

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:22.080
<v Speaker 1>office for testing purposes.

0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.720
<v Speaker 2>And now it's actually gotten quite good.

0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm used to the Google Home but now I

0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 1>like kind of comparing the two and seeing what the

0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:34.160
<v Speaker 1>reactions are. But anyway, I would say the Echo dot

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:36.840
<v Speaker 1>do the broadcast thing or actually on Google it's called

0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:41.040
<v Speaker 1>broadcast and you can say, h Google broadcast this, and

0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.360
<v Speaker 1>it will broadcast whatever you say to your all of

0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.320
<v Speaker 1>your different devices, or you can choose out a specific

0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 1>room and on Amazon's Echo.

0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.600
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of the same thing. So I believe the

0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:52.800
<v Speaker 2>syntax is.

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 1>A announce that you know announce, so a you know

0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.200
<v Speaker 1>the name announce and then she will announce to the

0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:04.600
<v Speaker 1>other one something. So if you were, you know, A

0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 1>announced I've fallen it and I can't get up, and

0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:08.560
<v Speaker 1>then that would broadcast the other one. So I think

0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 1>that's a good way to do it. But Laurie, I

0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:13.000
<v Speaker 1>would also look into the Apple Watch with fall detection.

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:14.880
<v Speaker 1>I know your parents live together, so that's a good thing.

0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.760
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, congrats to them for you know,

0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:19.640
<v Speaker 1>being together strong this long.

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:20.320
<v Speaker 2>That's awesome.

0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 1>But the fall detection is a handy feature in the

0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Apple Watch that I think would benefit your parents. You

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:28.680
<v Speaker 1>might want to think of that. I know it's a

0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:30.880
<v Speaker 1>whole big thing Apple Watch. It adds a whole nother

0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:34.520
<v Speaker 1>level of complications to your parents tech setup. But start

0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:38.360
<v Speaker 1>with the dots and go from there. Now, let's talk

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:42.679
<v Speaker 1>about the Apple Watch Series six that was just announced

0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.400
<v Speaker 1>by Apple. It is now available and I've got one

0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:49.160
<v Speaker 1>on my wrist. I've got the blue with the blue

0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:51.280
<v Speaker 1>new band. I forget what the bands are called, but

0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:54.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm still forming my opinions on this watch. But I

0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.720
<v Speaker 1>will just tell you this, the Apple Watch is quite

0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:59.760
<v Speaker 1>simply amazing. I would put it in that same category

0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.680
<v Speaker 1>as something like a smart home speaker, something like the

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:06.479
<v Speaker 1>Amazon Dash cart that I just was telling you about.

0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.320
<v Speaker 1>And then the Apple Watch, I mean along with the iPhone.

0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:11.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean Apple, when you really think about it, they

0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 1>have had some really amazing products. When it comes to

0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:17.760
<v Speaker 1>the iPhone, the iPad, and the Apple Watch, I mean

0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:21.199
<v Speaker 1>these three things. This trio is just unstoppable. And the

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Apple Watch Series six kind of builds upon the series five.

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:26.439
<v Speaker 1>If you're happy with your watch and you don't need

0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.079
<v Speaker 1>these new features, then.

0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:28.880
<v Speaker 2>You're just fine.

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:32.320
<v Speaker 1>But it does add new features and blood oxygen sensor

0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:34.600
<v Speaker 1>is one of them. So this is a feature that

0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:37.800
<v Speaker 1>takes a blood oxygen reading in about fifteen seconds. Apple

0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 1>says it is not a medical device, but you know,

0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:43.200
<v Speaker 1>if you want to keep track of your blood oxygen,

0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:45.800
<v Speaker 1>get an idea of where you stand. This will do

0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 1>it throughout the day when you sleep and then when

0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:51.679
<v Speaker 1>you want to take a manual reading. And the manual

0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:53.760
<v Speaker 1>reading is you know a little tricky. You got to

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.560
<v Speaker 1>sit there, stay still, and you know it works, but

0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.360
<v Speaker 1>it you know it works better than other things out there.

0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 1>I guess some of the they're smart watches. It also

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:06.640
<v Speaker 1>hasn't always on altimeter, which can give you real time elevation,

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:08.520
<v Speaker 1>so if you're a big climber or whatever you want

0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:10.080
<v Speaker 1>to see, oh how you are, you can do that.

0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.320
<v Speaker 1>It also comes in two new colors, blue and red,

0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.480
<v Speaker 1>and it has that automatic hand washing detection which I

0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:18.640
<v Speaker 1>haven't tried yet. I need to turn that on and see.

0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:20.800
<v Speaker 1>I know I slack some times for the twenty seconds

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.600
<v Speaker 1>I know we all do. Sleep tracking is also in there.

0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:25.800
<v Speaker 1>I did wear it to bed the last two nights,

0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:29.560
<v Speaker 1>so the first night, yes, the sleep tracking worked, and

0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:31.920
<v Speaker 1>it was kind of cool to see, you know, how

0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 1>long I slept. It tells you how long you were

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.199
<v Speaker 1>in bed and then how long you slept. It doesn't

0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.600
<v Speaker 1>give you really good metrics like the way the fipbit does,

0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.080
<v Speaker 1>but you get an idea. And the other thing I

0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 1>noticed last night is that if you don't activate the

0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:43.839
<v Speaker 1>bedtime setting, it will not track your sleep.

0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:45.079
<v Speaker 2>That's what happened to me last night.

0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I just turned on do not disturb, and I guess

0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.040
<v Speaker 1>that's not enough for it to go into sleep mode.

0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:53.760
<v Speaker 1>The other thing is if you're using sleep tracking on

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:55.440
<v Speaker 1>the Apple Watch, you need to figure out when you're

0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:58.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna charge your Apple Watch. So now I usually charge

0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:01.679
<v Speaker 1>at bedside. I will probably move my charger into the

0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:05.200
<v Speaker 1>bathroom and I'll charge it while I shower, so you'll

0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:07.040
<v Speaker 1>have to top it off throughout the day. I don't

0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.040
<v Speaker 1>know if that's gonna be long enough for you know,

0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.679
<v Speaker 1>to probably not, but the watch does charge faster now

0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:15.560
<v Speaker 1>an hour and a half to top off, I guess

0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 1>to get to one hundred percent eighty percent I think

0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:21.040
<v Speaker 1>was like half an hour or something like that. Forty minutes.

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:24.920
<v Speaker 1>So again, it's a great watch. They're you know, the

0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:28.600
<v Speaker 1>two main things the oh, the always on screen is brighter,

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:31.480
<v Speaker 1>So when you're not when the screen is not fully lit,

0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.560
<v Speaker 1>the always on displays lit and that's actually brighter, and

0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:37.679
<v Speaker 1>I have noticed it is brighter. And it's also a

0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:41.040
<v Speaker 1>little bit faster, runs twenty percent faster. Has a new chip,

0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:44.600
<v Speaker 1>the U one chip, which will enable things like making

0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:49.640
<v Speaker 1>your watch a car key digital car key, and that's

0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of it. The prices remain the same three ninety

0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:56.040
<v Speaker 1>nine or four ninety nine for the cellular version. Like

0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:58.079
<v Speaker 1>I said, it's already available and this is one of

0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.400
<v Speaker 1>those devices that unless you the new features, you don't

0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:03.520
<v Speaker 1>really need to upgrade it. You know, people are still

0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:05.880
<v Speaker 1>rocking like a Series three. If it's working for you,

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:08.880
<v Speaker 1>it's working just fine. If you want the blood oxygen,

0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:10.880
<v Speaker 1>then that is something. You know, if there's something with

0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.400
<v Speaker 1>your health that requires that or that would be helpful

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.880
<v Speaker 1>to you, then yeah, this would be great. But again

0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 1>it's evolutionary. It just continues to get better. The battery

0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.840
<v Speaker 1>life is the same about eighteen hours, which you know,

0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:25.439
<v Speaker 1>it'd be nice if Apple could get that up a

0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:27.600
<v Speaker 1>little bit more. But at this point it seems like

0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.839
<v Speaker 1>the way Apple's seeing this device is that people charge

0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.720
<v Speaker 1>it on a daily basis. It's a little trickier when

0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:37.720
<v Speaker 1>you're tracking your sleep. But again, forming my opinions on this,

0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, they have two new types of bands. Let

0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:45.880
<v Speaker 1>me get my notes again. The bands are interesting because

0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:53.160
<v Speaker 1>they have a soft silicone solo loop and then braided yarn.

0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.679
<v Speaker 1>So it's like basically this little stretchable. It's kind of

0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:57.360
<v Speaker 1>like a rubber band that you put around your wrist,

0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:00.400
<v Speaker 1>and one's silicone and rubbery, the other one has this

0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:01.680
<v Speaker 1>braided yarn over it.

0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:02.839
<v Speaker 2>I've got the braided yarn.

0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:05.240
<v Speaker 1>The one thing to know about these bands is that

0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:08.960
<v Speaker 1>they're now sized, so they come in different sizes, like

0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:12.160
<v Speaker 1>a seven, a six, four. I don't know what they

0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:14.920
<v Speaker 1>go down to, but you do need to figure out

0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.480
<v Speaker 1>what size you are. I am wearing a size six.

0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:21.880
<v Speaker 1>My wrist is pretty small and it fits perfectly. And

0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:23.880
<v Speaker 1>it's funny because you can see as your wrist expands

0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:24.439
<v Speaker 1>throughout the day.

0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:25.400
<v Speaker 2>When you're in the.

0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Heat, your watch is a little bit tighter. But I

0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:29.880
<v Speaker 1>find the six works for me. So if you have

0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:31.760
<v Speaker 1>a bigger rist, you might need a seven. If you

0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:38.760
<v Speaker 1>have a smaller rist, you might need a smaller size.

0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:44.160
<v Speaker 1>All right, Valentina says, I need a few suggestions on

0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:48.480
<v Speaker 1>online sales sites. I usually have yard sales once to

0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:50.800
<v Speaker 1>twice a year to clean house, but everything going on,

0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:53.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel comfortable having one. With so many sites

0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:55.040
<v Speaker 1>to sell from home, I'm not sure which is the

0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:58.080
<v Speaker 1>best and easiest for a non tech savvy person. I

0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:01.840
<v Speaker 1>would recommend offer up so well, I'd recommend too. I

0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.920
<v Speaker 1>would say offer up, and they just bought the other

0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:08.080
<v Speaker 1>one called let's let's go or let go, Let's go,

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:11.079
<v Speaker 1>let go, So I would recommend the offer up app

0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:15.160
<v Speaker 1>which now has uh let Go, and then Facebook Marketplace.

0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Those are the two that I would recommend. And we

0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:20.520
<v Speaker 1>did a story about this. I think it was two

0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:22.960
<v Speaker 1>years ago. It's been a while, and my friend who

0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.640
<v Speaker 1>sells a bunch of stuff on these apps, he recommended

0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:29.080
<v Speaker 1>those two and it's funny that they merged offer up

0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:29.440
<v Speaker 1>and let.

0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Go, Oh, let Go.

0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Now I've sold stuff on offer up. Personally, it's great,

0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:35.640
<v Speaker 1>it's easy, it's simple. It's kind of like a little chat.

0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:38.680
<v Speaker 1>You post stuff from your phone. People text you and

0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:40.800
<v Speaker 1>then you text back and you say, all right, let's meet.

0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.080
<v Speaker 1>And I did sell stuff through the pandemic and I

0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:44.680
<v Speaker 1>just put on a mask. The other person had a

0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:45.120
<v Speaker 1>mask and.

0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:45.560
<v Speaker 2>It was great.

0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.600
<v Speaker 1>And you know, you can use cash. I guess you

0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:51.360
<v Speaker 1>could use Venmo if you wanted to, but cash is king.

0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Facebook Marketplace is neat because it's built into Facebook, so

0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:58.040
<v Speaker 1>it's just there. And also I think I would assume

0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:01.480
<v Speaker 1>that Facebook. If I search for a new boat on Facebook,

0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 1>I would assume that would put some of those Facebook

0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Marketplace adds in my feed for a new boat, because

0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:10.800
<v Speaker 1>if someone's selling it locally, there's like, hey, here you go.

0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:14.240
<v Speaker 1>That's kind of using the magic of what they know

0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:17.040
<v Speaker 1>about me to market to me. The other thing I

0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:19.080
<v Speaker 1>would recommend if you're using one of these services and

0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:20.760
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to give out your phone number is

0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:24.200
<v Speaker 1>an app called burner b U r n er, and

0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:26.240
<v Speaker 1>that will provide you with a temporary phone number that

0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:30.560
<v Speaker 1>people can call or text for a low fee. And

0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:34.440
<v Speaker 1>then the other recommendation the article that we did, my

0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 1>friend Chris said is the best day to sell is Sunday.

0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:39.680
<v Speaker 1>I guess Sunday is a day of leisure. People are

0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:42.880
<v Speaker 1>looking to, you know, do things around the house, sell stuff,

0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:46.280
<v Speaker 1>buy stuff, whatever. But those are the places I'd recommend

0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.480
<v Speaker 1>and just you know, obviously be safe, be aware, and

0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:52.160
<v Speaker 1>it generally helps to have someone with you when you

0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:55.880
<v Speaker 1>do that in person handoff, I would just recommend that

0:15:55.920 --> 0:16:00.640
<v Speaker 1>as well. Let's talk about another Apple Why this is

0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:02.600
<v Speaker 1>an Apple Watch. There's gonna be a lot of Apple news,

0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:07.400
<v Speaker 1>so spoiler alert. Apple Watch S is the new I guess,

0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:11.520
<v Speaker 1>lower priced Apple Watch. And the big difference between the

0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Apple Watch S is the display. I have not gone

0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:18.040
<v Speaker 1>hands on with this just yet, but the display and

0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:21.120
<v Speaker 1>also the sensors that you get. So two main sensors

0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:24.440
<v Speaker 1>you do not get in the Apple Watch s are

0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:29.040
<v Speaker 1>the EKG and the new Blood Oxygen. So otherwise you

0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.240
<v Speaker 1>get pretty much what you need. You get GPS, you

0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:35.320
<v Speaker 1>get accelerometer, you get gyroscope, you get the always on altimeter,

0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:38.880
<v Speaker 1>you get fall detection, you get emergency SOS, you get

0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:39.640
<v Speaker 1>the noise app.

0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:41.960
<v Speaker 2>So you do get a lot of stuff in this s.

0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:45.200
<v Speaker 2>I think that they just wanted to make something that

0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:48.200
<v Speaker 2>was a little bit cheaper than the big one, and

0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:50.040
<v Speaker 2>it also has a lesser processor.

0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:53.680
<v Speaker 1>So Apple very very smart company. Since they make all

0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.400
<v Speaker 1>these processors, it's like, well, why make this processor? They

0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:58.440
<v Speaker 1>make a new one every year, but then they've got

0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:01.360
<v Speaker 1>the old ones that are still pretty good, and so

0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:04.080
<v Speaker 1>they put those in their products that are a little

0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:05.679
<v Speaker 1>bit cheaper because they've already put all the R and

0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.840
<v Speaker 1>D into these processors, so why not get more use

0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:11.439
<v Speaker 1>out of them. The Apple Watch SE also has a

0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:16.160
<v Speaker 1>speaker and a microphone Siri walkie talkie. Like I said,

0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:19.359
<v Speaker 1>fall detection. Trying to see what else it has in here, Yeah,

0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.479
<v Speaker 1>two seventy nine starting at for the GPS version. The

0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:26.959
<v Speaker 1>GPS plus cellular starts at three twenty nine, And I

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.359
<v Speaker 1>think that this is a great option if you don't

0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:33.800
<v Speaker 1>need the blood oxygen and also the heart rate stuff,

0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:35.520
<v Speaker 1>or it's not heart rate because it still will take

0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:38.200
<v Speaker 1>your heart rate, it's just not going to do the ECG.

0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:41.360
<v Speaker 1>So that's like the heart you know, when it detects

0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:43.640
<v Speaker 1>if your heart has a fib or something like that.

0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:48.320
<v Speaker 1>So this is a great solution. It's less expensive. And

0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:51.399
<v Speaker 1>also they're targeting it towards their new family setup because

0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:52.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot of parents are going to be buying Apple

0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:55.680
<v Speaker 1>watches for their kids now. And I will get into

0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:58.880
<v Speaker 1>that after the next question. I will explain all of that,

0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:07.840
<v Speaker 1>all right, Chris says. And I know I'm going through

0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:09.359
<v Speaker 1>this stuff fast. I just feel like I have so

0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:11.080
<v Speaker 1>much stuff to go through that I want to get

0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:14.800
<v Speaker 1>through it all. Chris says, I follow you and a listener.

0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:17.000
<v Speaker 1>You make me look techy to my grandchildren.

0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:17.560
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I have Wi Fi from Frontier since they were a Verizon.

0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:24.520
<v Speaker 1>My router is a Verizon. I've had it for years.

0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Should I buy my own? What is the benefit of

0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:31.919
<v Speaker 1>replacing Chris? So, the benefit, Chris is that you would

0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:35.720
<v Speaker 1>theoretically get higher speeds, but only if you subscribe to

0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:39.440
<v Speaker 1>higher speeds. So what you need to do is number one,

0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:43.960
<v Speaker 1>call Frontier and ask them and just say, hey, what

0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:46.240
<v Speaker 1>is the speed that I'm supposed to be getting at

0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:48.880
<v Speaker 1>my house? And they may say something like one hundred,

0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:52.000
<v Speaker 1>and you go, okay, well here's my router. Can my

0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:55.760
<v Speaker 1>router get to one hundred? Most routers can. It's really

0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:59.399
<v Speaker 1>I think that the well, sorry, a lot of the

0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:02.000
<v Speaker 1>older route couldn't get the higher speeds. They were a

0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:06.120
<v Speaker 1>different I think it was called dosis doccis. So there's

0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:09.639
<v Speaker 1>like a certain level of software on those modems or

0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:12.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe it was the whatever the whatever the specs were.

0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:14.840
<v Speaker 1>They just couldn't handle the higher speed, so that when

0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:17.560
<v Speaker 1>you got newer, higher Internet they would say, oh, we

0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.040
<v Speaker 1>have to swap out your modem. So I don't know

0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:22.000
<v Speaker 1>if that's the case with you, but this kind of

0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:25.239
<v Speaker 1>applies to if you're listening and you have had your

0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:28.439
<v Speaker 1>router for a long long time, and maybe your company

0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:30.560
<v Speaker 1>has increased speeds in your area.

0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:32.200
<v Speaker 2>You can't really.

0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Take advantage of those speeds if you have one of

0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:35.639
<v Speaker 1>these older routers. But the only way to figure that

0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:39.680
<v Speaker 1>out is to really ask, and so call up Frontier

0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:42.359
<v Speaker 1>say what's the speed I'm paying for? And is my

0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:46.120
<v Speaker 1>router able to handle that. If they say yes, then

0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:49.560
<v Speaker 1>you're fine. If you want to upgrade and get faster speed,

0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:50.800
<v Speaker 1>you probably will need a.

0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:52.360
<v Speaker 2>Newer router with the newer specs.

0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:55.200
<v Speaker 1>So if it's been this long, which sounds like it's

0:19:55.200 --> 0:19:58.679
<v Speaker 1>been a while, you it's in your best interest to

0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:02.080
<v Speaker 1>figure out if you the newer router, and the benefit

0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:05.640
<v Speaker 1>of replacing again is just those faster speeds and also

0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:07.760
<v Speaker 1>maybe the Wi Fi network. So back in the day

0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:09.680
<v Speaker 1>the routers might have only had a two point four

0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:12.360
<v Speaker 1>gigahertz network. Maybe now they have two point.

0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:14.119
<v Speaker 2>Four gigaherts and five gigaherts.

0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:17.440
<v Speaker 1>So again I would just call Frontier, talk to them,

0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:20.160
<v Speaker 1>ask them and see what they say. And if you're

0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:22.439
<v Speaker 1>paying for a router, you're paying for a rental of

0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:26.000
<v Speaker 1>this modem, then you know, if it's included anyway, you

0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:28.040
<v Speaker 1>might as well get the new one. Might just be

0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:29.840
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a hassle of switching it out.

0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:32.359
<v Speaker 1>You might have to do that yourself. Every company is different.

0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:36.440
<v Speaker 1>A lot of stuff is self installed nowadays. But again, yeah,

0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:38.879
<v Speaker 1>just see what the deal is with your speed and

0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:41.360
<v Speaker 1>if your modem can handle it. If they can't, get

0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:44.560
<v Speaker 1>the new one, good question. Well, I promised i'd talk

0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:50.600
<v Speaker 1>about the new Apple Watch Family Setup, and this is brilliant.

0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Apple is going to sell a whole lot of watches

0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:57.639
<v Speaker 1>thanks to this new feature and on this podcast. Although

0:20:57.680 --> 0:21:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I have no good way of figure out what I've

0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:02.320
<v Speaker 1>said on this podcast, you know what I should do.

0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:05.360
<v Speaker 1>I should transcribe each episode after I'm done with it,

0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:08.000
<v Speaker 1>because there's always like little things that I say that

0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:10.199
<v Speaker 1>I want to remember or bring back and I can

0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:12.720
<v Speaker 1>never remember. But I know for a fact on this podcast,

0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:15.639
<v Speaker 1>I talked about the fact that Apple should free the

0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:19.560
<v Speaker 1>iPhone from the or sorry, free the Apple Watch from

0:21:19.560 --> 0:21:22.720
<v Speaker 1>the iPhone, because overnight it would become the most popular

0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:25.520
<v Speaker 1>kids watch in America. And if you've ever seen these

0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:29.600
<v Speaker 1>kids watches, they are terrible. They're just they're terrible. They're

0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:33.600
<v Speaker 1>really gross. They're big, they're bulky, they're expensive, the software

0:21:33.680 --> 0:21:36.080
<v Speaker 1>is horrible. Kids are wearing them and it's like this

0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:39.560
<v Speaker 1>giant thing on their wrist. Well, I said that Apple

0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:43.200
<v Speaker 1>should make the Apple Watch work with kids, and they

0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:46.439
<v Speaker 1>did so. For the first time, an Apple Watch can

0:21:46.480 --> 0:21:49.600
<v Speaker 1>be set up through a parent's iPhone through this feature

0:21:49.640 --> 0:21:52.040
<v Speaker 1>called family set Up, so the parent sets up the

0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Apple Watch through their phone, and then they can monitor

0:21:55.640 --> 0:21:57.840
<v Speaker 1>pretty much what the kid is able to do on

0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the device. So what does the kid get? They get texting,

0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:03.679
<v Speaker 1>they get calling, they get Apple Maps, they get Siri,

0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:06.080
<v Speaker 1>they get alarms, they get the app store. But the

0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:10.560
<v Speaker 1>parents can pretty much regulate everything that's available on their

0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:12.239
<v Speaker 1>device and what they can do and when they can

0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:15.560
<v Speaker 1>do it, kind of like screen time but for the watch.

0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:18.360
<v Speaker 2>But the reality of this.

0:22:18.880 --> 0:22:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Is that this is amazing for parents, and I get it.

0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to get into the whole debate over,

0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:27.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, whether kids should have a phone or device.

0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:29.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they should.

0:22:29.280 --> 0:22:31.440
<v Speaker 1>I think you should wait as long as humanly possible

0:22:31.480 --> 0:22:33.840
<v Speaker 1>to give them to your kids. But the reality is,

0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:34.959
<v Speaker 1>do my kids have an iPad?

0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:37.280
<v Speaker 2>Yes? They do. Do they love it? Absolutely?

0:22:37.520 --> 0:22:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Do I have to pry it from their tiny little

0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:43.119
<v Speaker 1>hands every once in a while, Yes, But that's the

0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:44.960
<v Speaker 1>world we live in. I don't know what to say.

0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:46.840
<v Speaker 1>Am I on my phone more than I should be?

0:22:46.880 --> 0:22:47.400
<v Speaker 2>Probably?

0:22:47.800 --> 0:22:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Did you watch the Social Dilemma documentary on Netflix? If

0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:54.439
<v Speaker 1>you didn't, please watch it because it's very eye opening,

0:22:54.720 --> 0:22:57.040
<v Speaker 1>even though I already kind of knew what they're talking

0:22:57.040 --> 0:22:59.840
<v Speaker 1>about all These notifications are just there to lure you in.

0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:03.119
<v Speaker 1>They're like the equivalent of when you went fishing, you

0:23:03.160 --> 0:23:05.600
<v Speaker 1>had a lure that was shiny and the fish would

0:23:05.720 --> 0:23:08.679
<v Speaker 1>you go for it? Well, that's what these notifications are.

0:23:08.720 --> 0:23:11.680
<v Speaker 1>They're shiny little objects that they dangle in front of

0:23:11.760 --> 0:23:14.240
<v Speaker 1>us and we go, Oh, what's that? Someone liked my picture?

0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:17.080
<v Speaker 2>What's that? Someone commented? What's that? Someone texted me?

0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, I gotta check my phone right now.

0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:22.640
<v Speaker 1>And I'm guilty of it all the time. And that's

0:23:22.640 --> 0:23:24.760
<v Speaker 1>why I have most of my notifications turned off. But

0:23:25.119 --> 0:23:28.119
<v Speaker 1>these apps are tricky. They make notifications kind of tricky

0:23:28.160 --> 0:23:30.199
<v Speaker 1>because you don't want to turn off all of the

0:23:30.280 --> 0:23:32.639
<v Speaker 1>notifications because you might miss an important one that you

0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:37.280
<v Speaker 1>actually need. And so anyway, round and round in circles

0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:41.800
<v Speaker 1>we go. So here is the trick about family set up. When,

0:23:42.240 --> 0:23:44.600
<v Speaker 1>as I understand it, from Apple, they want you to

0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:48.679
<v Speaker 1>use an Apple Watch that has a cellular antenna in it.

0:23:48.720 --> 0:23:51.520
<v Speaker 1>So you actually need to use an Apple Watch with cellular,

0:23:51.600 --> 0:23:55.480
<v Speaker 1>but from what I'm hearing, it sounds like you don't

0:23:55.520 --> 0:23:59.000
<v Speaker 1>necessarily have They don't require you to activate the cellular

0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:03.560
<v Speaker 1>although it is only strongly suggested.

0:24:03.040 --> 0:24:03.600
<v Speaker 2>That you do that.

0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:06.240
<v Speaker 1>And the reason they say that is because think about it,

0:24:06.480 --> 0:24:08.720
<v Speaker 1>your kids at school, your kid is at their friend's house,

0:24:08.760 --> 0:24:11.120
<v Speaker 1>your kid is at the playground. These are places where

0:24:11.119 --> 0:24:14.520
<v Speaker 1>they may not have the Wi Fi connection available on

0:24:14.560 --> 0:24:16.320
<v Speaker 1>their watch, or they're not gonna be able to connect

0:24:16.320 --> 0:24:18.240
<v Speaker 1>to Wi Fi because when they go to the mall,

0:24:18.320 --> 0:24:20.720
<v Speaker 1>yeah there's free Wi Fi, but what kid is gonna

0:24:20.720 --> 0:24:23.919
<v Speaker 1>sit there and connect it on their Apple Watch. Now,

0:24:23.920 --> 0:24:25.879
<v Speaker 1>if your kids ate and go to the mall by themselves,

0:24:25.880 --> 0:24:28.840
<v Speaker 1>that's a whole nother story that's really not probably not happening.

0:24:29.160 --> 0:24:32.000
<v Speaker 1>But the reality is there are lots of places where

0:24:32.320 --> 0:24:35.080
<v Speaker 1>they would not necessarily have a Wi Fi connection. And

0:24:35.119 --> 0:24:37.960
<v Speaker 1>so Apple is asking parents to use a watch or

0:24:38.080 --> 0:24:41.280
<v Speaker 1>requiring that parents use a watch with cellular and it

0:24:41.480 --> 0:24:45.000
<v Speaker 1>seems like you can still use this feature, but they

0:24:45.000 --> 0:24:47.080
<v Speaker 1>want you to activate the cellular so that you get

0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:50.479
<v Speaker 1>the full use out of this entire thing. And what

0:24:50.520 --> 0:24:54.280
<v Speaker 1>they can do is they kind of have a phone

0:24:54.359 --> 0:24:56.560
<v Speaker 1>on their wrists. They can make calls, they have their

0:24:56.600 --> 0:25:00.359
<v Speaker 1>own I Message, you know, they can send texts, they

0:25:00.440 --> 0:25:01.800
<v Speaker 1>can do a whole bunch of stuff.

0:25:01.800 --> 0:25:03.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's an Apple Watch.

0:25:03.560 --> 0:25:06.119
<v Speaker 1>And so they can also use emergency sos so they

0:25:06.160 --> 0:25:09.520
<v Speaker 1>can press the side button and notify people automatically. There's

0:25:09.560 --> 0:25:13.640
<v Speaker 1>medical idea on this thing. There's a feature called school Time,

0:25:13.760 --> 0:25:17.159
<v Speaker 1>which this is a special watch face designed for parents

0:25:17.160 --> 0:25:20.720
<v Speaker 1>and teachers. So this is a watch face called school

0:25:20.760 --> 0:25:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Time that when it's on there, you can look at

0:25:22.560 --> 0:25:25.200
<v Speaker 1>it and be like, okay, cool. The apps are restricted

0:25:25.200 --> 0:25:27.520
<v Speaker 1>and do not disturb is turned on, so during school.

0:25:27.560 --> 0:25:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Because Apple already saw that some teachers are gonna have

0:25:29.560 --> 0:25:32.200
<v Speaker 1>a problem with this, they will be able to see

0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:36.920
<v Speaker 1>that school Time watch face and say, Okay, Johnny is

0:25:37.560 --> 0:25:39.600
<v Speaker 1>paying attention because he's got that on, so he's not

0:25:39.680 --> 0:25:43.600
<v Speaker 1>sitting there playing with his watch. So Family Setup is available.

0:25:43.640 --> 0:25:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I again have not tested this just yet. I will

0:25:46.080 --> 0:25:49.600
<v Speaker 1>be testing this to see how it works. But the

0:25:49.640 --> 0:25:53.280
<v Speaker 1>reality is I think this is really really smart. And

0:25:53.400 --> 0:25:56.760
<v Speaker 1>here's the way they put it. To set up Apple

0:25:56.800 --> 0:26:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Watch with family set up to a new assistant guides

0:26:00.880 --> 0:26:04.440
<v Speaker 1>users through the configuration steps on iPhone. Family setup requires

0:26:04.480 --> 0:26:07.240
<v Speaker 1>family sharing and an Apple ID for the child or

0:26:07.280 --> 0:26:11.479
<v Speaker 1>older member of the household, and cellular service enables all

0:26:11.520 --> 0:26:14.600
<v Speaker 1>of its features. So it's not saying you have to

0:26:14.640 --> 0:26:17.240
<v Speaker 1>but you will have to use a watch with cellular,

0:26:17.800 --> 0:26:20.240
<v Speaker 1>So no matter what, you have to have an Apple

0:26:20.280 --> 0:26:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Watch Series four or an Apple Watch se with cellular.

0:26:25.080 --> 0:26:27.399
<v Speaker 2>So that makes it a little bit more expensive to

0:26:27.680 --> 0:26:27.960
<v Speaker 2>do that.

0:26:28.040 --> 0:26:30.240
<v Speaker 1>And then I'm looking at these plans, like T Mobile

0:26:30.280 --> 0:26:32.280
<v Speaker 1>emailed me and they said, oh, we have a great

0:26:32.359 --> 0:26:35.439
<v Speaker 1>new plan for the kids with his family set up.

0:26:35.760 --> 0:26:38.680
<v Speaker 1>It's ten dollars a month on promo for a limited time,

0:26:39.000 --> 0:26:41.639
<v Speaker 1>and that's including a you know, discount of something and

0:26:41.680 --> 0:26:42.520
<v Speaker 1>another discount.

0:26:42.520 --> 0:26:43.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa?

0:26:43.240 --> 0:26:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Hold on to add an Apple Watch to an iPhone

0:26:46.560 --> 0:26:48.480
<v Speaker 1>plan was always ten bucks a month, and now you're

0:26:48.520 --> 0:26:50.480
<v Speaker 1>telling me that these plans are going to be more expensive.

0:26:50.960 --> 0:26:52.080
<v Speaker 2>So it sounds like.

0:26:52.040 --> 0:26:55.480
<v Speaker 1>The wireless carriers really like this because they're going to

0:26:55.520 --> 0:26:58.840
<v Speaker 1>be able to charge Johnny twenty five dollars because well,

0:26:58.880 --> 0:27:02.000
<v Speaker 1>they don't have a an iPhone associated with this, so

0:27:02.040 --> 0:27:02.439
<v Speaker 1>we need to.

0:27:02.480 --> 0:27:03.240
<v Speaker 2>Charge them more.

0:27:03.600 --> 0:27:05.879
<v Speaker 1>Even though we all know Apple watches are using like

0:27:06.160 --> 0:27:09.399
<v Speaker 1>a tiny they're data sippers. They're using a tiny bit

0:27:09.440 --> 0:27:13.600
<v Speaker 1>of data. I mean, mine is like it's almost negligent

0:27:13.680 --> 0:27:16.399
<v Speaker 1>how much it is using. And yet you know I

0:27:16.440 --> 0:27:18.639
<v Speaker 1>only pay a ten bucks a month, thankfully, but you know,

0:27:18.680 --> 0:27:20.280
<v Speaker 1>the twenty five dollars a month. If that's where they

0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:22.200
<v Speaker 1>want to try to charge us for this family setup.

0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:23.600
<v Speaker 2>That's a little steep.

0:27:23.920 --> 0:27:26.280
<v Speaker 1>But with that said, it does give you peace of mind.

0:27:26.320 --> 0:27:28.200
<v Speaker 1>And my wife and I were debating this last night.

0:27:28.640 --> 0:27:31.080
<v Speaker 1>I get it, you don't have to agree that kids

0:27:31.119 --> 0:27:34.280
<v Speaker 1>need a watch or anything, but there are many many

0:27:34.440 --> 0:27:38.560
<v Speaker 1>circumstances where parents will feel more at ease knowing that

0:27:38.560 --> 0:27:41.120
<v Speaker 1>their kids are connected using this setup.

0:27:45.960 --> 0:27:47.320
<v Speaker 2>Dominic says Rich.

0:27:47.400 --> 0:27:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Do you have any recommendations for blue light filter screens

0:27:50.960 --> 0:27:53.560
<v Speaker 1>for the Mac Book Air? Thanks for your great tips

0:27:53.600 --> 0:27:59.040
<v Speaker 1>and Dominic, the answer is no, I do not. Now,

0:27:59.080 --> 0:28:00.919
<v Speaker 1>there are a couple things out. Recommend Number one, I've

0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:03.800
<v Speaker 1>been testing out blue blocking glasses. Apparently a lot of

0:28:03.840 --> 0:28:06.560
<v Speaker 1>people are emailing me about these because they're feeling the

0:28:06.600 --> 0:28:09.160
<v Speaker 1>strain on their eyes because they're working from.

0:28:08.960 --> 0:28:09.720
<v Speaker 2>Home so much.

0:28:10.400 --> 0:28:12.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't you know. I've tried to wear them for

0:28:12.760 --> 0:28:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the last couple of mornings. I don't really see a difference.

0:28:16.040 --> 0:28:17.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, maybe a little bit, but it could be

0:28:17.880 --> 0:28:21.200
<v Speaker 1>psychological that I feel better. But the other feature I

0:28:21.200 --> 0:28:24.240
<v Speaker 1>would definitely turn on in your Mac is the.

0:28:25.040 --> 0:28:26.280
<v Speaker 2>I think it's called night shift.

0:28:26.359 --> 0:28:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so go into your Mac preference system preferences, search

0:28:29.840 --> 0:28:34.119
<v Speaker 1>for night shift on your display, and night shift automatically

0:28:34.119 --> 0:28:36.440
<v Speaker 1>shifts the color of your display to the warmer end

0:28:36.920 --> 0:28:39.360
<v Speaker 1>of the color spectrum after dark. This can help you

0:28:39.360 --> 0:28:42.680
<v Speaker 1>get a better night's sleep. So that's mainly meant for,

0:28:43.200 --> 0:28:44.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, blocking out a little bit of that blue

0:28:44.920 --> 0:28:48.480
<v Speaker 1>light during the night, you know, the afternoon hours till

0:28:48.680 --> 0:28:50.800
<v Speaker 1>you know bed, but you can also use it during

0:28:50.800 --> 0:28:54.680
<v Speaker 1>the day if you want. Again, I don't know, it's

0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:56.720
<v Speaker 1>one of these things where I know we hear a

0:28:56.760 --> 0:28:58.920
<v Speaker 1>lot about blue blocking. We're actually working on a story

0:28:58.920 --> 0:29:02.160
<v Speaker 1>about that for KTLA. Apparently our interviews came back from

0:29:02.160 --> 0:29:06.600
<v Speaker 1>my producer Megan, and she said that one person said yes, yes, yes,

0:29:06.640 --> 0:29:08.840
<v Speaker 1>it's great, and the other person said no, no, no,

0:29:08.880 --> 0:29:12.240
<v Speaker 1>it's not that great, So we will find out. I

0:29:12.240 --> 0:29:13.960
<v Speaker 1>think it's one of these things where if it makes

0:29:13.960 --> 0:29:17.160
<v Speaker 1>you feel better and you personally feel better using a

0:29:17.160 --> 0:29:20.800
<v Speaker 1>blue light filter, then go ahead. And to answer your question,

0:29:21.360 --> 0:29:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I would assume that three M has some privacy screens

0:29:25.480 --> 0:29:28.080
<v Speaker 1>or some sort of screens you can attach that have

0:29:28.200 --> 0:29:31.600
<v Speaker 1>blue light filter in them, but I'm not completely sure,

0:29:31.920 --> 0:29:33.560
<v Speaker 1>but if you want, you can also try some blue

0:29:33.600 --> 0:29:37.520
<v Speaker 1>light blocking glasses, and there are a whole bunch like Felix.

0:29:37.600 --> 0:29:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Gray is the big one that makes them. I think WARB.

0:29:40.000 --> 0:29:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Parker does it. I've been testing. Let's see what are

0:29:44.640 --> 0:29:49.040
<v Speaker 1>the ones I'm testing. These are called pixel pix e

0:29:49.320 --> 0:29:52.200
<v Speaker 1>L pixel blue blockers. I've got the toros, which are nice.

0:29:52.240 --> 0:29:54.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they're they're great. They're just they feel like

0:29:54.640 --> 0:29:58.200
<v Speaker 1>window glasses, but they block blue light. So you know,

0:29:58.280 --> 0:30:00.360
<v Speaker 1>if it makes you feel better, do it. But I

0:30:00.400 --> 0:30:04.480
<v Speaker 1>can't say with certainty that it works or it's fantastic.

0:30:05.640 --> 0:30:08.560
<v Speaker 1>All right, So more Apple News. Apple One. This is

0:30:08.640 --> 0:30:11.840
<v Speaker 1>the subscription bundle plan. So if you have a bunch

0:30:11.880 --> 0:30:14.440
<v Speaker 1>of these Apple services like Apple Music, Apple TV plus

0:30:14.480 --> 0:30:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Apple Arcade, iCloud and more, you can get them all

0:30:17.800 --> 0:30:19.760
<v Speaker 1>now in one plan. So let me just go over

0:30:19.800 --> 0:30:23.760
<v Speaker 1>these plans that launch later this year. Individual plan includes

0:30:23.760 --> 0:30:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Apple Music, Apple TV plus Apple Arcade and fifty gigs

0:30:27.160 --> 0:30:31.320
<v Speaker 1>of iCloud storage that is fifteen dollars a month. Then

0:30:31.360 --> 0:30:35.040
<v Speaker 1>you've got the Family plan. This includes Apple Music, Apple

0:30:35.080 --> 0:30:39.160
<v Speaker 1>TV plus Apple Arcade, and two hundred gigs of iCloud

0:30:39.160 --> 0:30:41.320
<v Speaker 1>storage that is twenty dollars a month and can be

0:30:41.360 --> 0:30:43.040
<v Speaker 1>shared among six family members.

0:30:43.360 --> 0:30:44.600
<v Speaker 2>So let's just do the math.

0:30:45.200 --> 0:30:47.320
<v Speaker 1>If you're paying for Apple Music Family Plan, which I

0:30:47.320 --> 0:30:50.040
<v Speaker 1>think is fifteen, Apple TV Plus, which I don't think

0:30:50.040 --> 0:30:52.240
<v Speaker 1>anyone's paying for yet, but Apple Arcade, which I am,

0:30:52.560 --> 0:30:54.880
<v Speaker 1>that's five dollars a month, so right, there is twenty

0:30:54.880 --> 0:30:56.720
<v Speaker 1>bucks a month. So now you get the other two

0:30:56.720 --> 0:30:59.040
<v Speaker 1>for free, Apple TV Plus and two hundred gigs of

0:30:59.200 --> 0:31:01.840
<v Speaker 1>iCloud storage, which I think I pay three dollars a

0:31:01.840 --> 0:31:04.920
<v Speaker 1>month for, so right there is gonna save you eight bucks.

0:31:05.360 --> 0:31:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Then you've got the Premiere Plan. This is Apple Music,

0:31:08.720 --> 0:31:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Apple TV Plus, Apple Arcade, Apple Newsplus, Apple Fitness Plus,

0:31:13.440 --> 0:31:16.280
<v Speaker 1>and two terabytes of iCloud storage, all for thirty dollars

0:31:16.320 --> 0:31:19.200
<v Speaker 1>a month that can be shared among six family members.

0:31:19.240 --> 0:31:21.120
<v Speaker 1>And it sounds a lot thirty dollars a month, but

0:31:21.240 --> 0:31:24.840
<v Speaker 1>that is a fantastic deal. If you purchased all those

0:31:24.920 --> 0:31:28.080
<v Speaker 1>things separately, I mean Apple Music, that's let's just say

0:31:28.120 --> 0:31:31.480
<v Speaker 1>it's fifteen, Apple TV Plus. I think it's five. That's twenty,

0:31:31.680 --> 0:31:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Apple Arcade, twenty five, Apple News ten. That's thirty five,

0:31:35.240 --> 0:31:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Apple Fitness that's ten forty five two terabytes of storage.

0:31:38.880 --> 0:31:41.400
<v Speaker 1>I think it's ten fifty five sixty five so that's

0:31:41.400 --> 0:31:44.720
<v Speaker 1>like thirty dollars a month you're saving. So that's a

0:31:44.720 --> 0:31:48.560
<v Speaker 1>pretty good deal. I don't know which one I'll do.

0:31:48.720 --> 0:31:49.160
<v Speaker 2>I might do.

0:31:49.400 --> 0:31:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I already see the problem is I get Apple Music

0:31:51.680 --> 0:31:54.440
<v Speaker 1>including my Verizon plan, So that makes it very very

0:31:54.480 --> 0:31:58.640
<v Speaker 1>tricky because I have to extract that from my plan

0:31:59.280 --> 0:32:02.200
<v Speaker 1>and see but I I would think the Family Plan

0:32:02.240 --> 0:32:04.280
<v Speaker 1>would be really good for me for twenty bucks a month,

0:32:04.360 --> 0:32:06.160
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna look into that. Maybe I can downgrade

0:32:06.200 --> 0:32:08.840
<v Speaker 1>my Verizon plant and not include the music. You know what,

0:32:08.880 --> 0:32:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I'll do that, downgrade my Verizon plant to not

0:32:11.520 --> 0:32:13.160
<v Speaker 1>include But then I got then I got rid of

0:32:13.360 --> 0:32:16.640
<v Speaker 1>the gotta get rid of the HD video streaming. If

0:32:16.680 --> 0:32:19.400
<v Speaker 1>you drop down anyway, it's very complicated. So let me

0:32:19.440 --> 0:32:23.680
<v Speaker 1>go over another another subscription service I mentioned called Apple

0:32:23.880 --> 0:32:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Fitness Plus. This is sort of just a lot of

0:32:27.360 --> 0:32:29.680
<v Speaker 1>people are saying it's their answer to Peloton, which is true,

0:32:29.720 --> 0:32:31.280
<v Speaker 1>but there's a lot of fitness apps out there that

0:32:31.360 --> 0:32:34.400
<v Speaker 1>do video classes. Peloton is just the most popular. But

0:32:34.440 --> 0:32:37.080
<v Speaker 1>one I really like is called Aptive. They do they

0:32:37.120 --> 0:32:40.320
<v Speaker 1>started out as audio, now they do video. But Fitness

0:32:40.360 --> 0:32:42.720
<v Speaker 1>Plus is Apple's version, so you know, it's gonna be

0:32:42.720 --> 0:32:44.920
<v Speaker 1>more apply. You know, it's gonna keep you in that

0:32:45.040 --> 0:32:48.680
<v Speaker 1>Apple ecosystem with the Apple Watch, the Apple TV, and

0:32:49.040 --> 0:32:53.440
<v Speaker 1>of course the iPad and the iPhone. Most of the

0:32:53.480 --> 0:32:55.920
<v Speaker 1>workouts can be done with no equipment or just a

0:32:55.960 --> 0:33:00.880
<v Speaker 1>set of dumbbells. They've got cycling, treadmill, rowing, hit, strength, yoga,

0:33:00.960 --> 0:33:03.840
<v Speaker 1>dance core, and mindful cool down. And they also have

0:33:03.920 --> 0:33:07.120
<v Speaker 1>an absolute beginner program. This would be good for me,

0:33:07.400 --> 0:33:09.719
<v Speaker 1>just to give you the basics of movement and exercise.

0:33:11.400 --> 0:33:14.880
<v Speaker 1>And the big thing that Apple is promoting in this

0:33:15.160 --> 0:33:19.160
<v Speaker 1>is the on screen kind of handoff of information between

0:33:19.640 --> 0:33:23.400
<v Speaker 1>your Apple Watch and your iPad or however you're doing

0:33:23.440 --> 0:33:26.640
<v Speaker 1>these things. So on screen you're gonna see all your metrics,

0:33:26.680 --> 0:33:30.480
<v Speaker 1>like in real time, so how many calories you're burning,

0:33:30.920 --> 0:33:33.920
<v Speaker 1>your heart rate, your rings and if you close a ring,

0:33:34.040 --> 0:33:35.960
<v Speaker 1>it's going to like burst on the screen, so you

0:33:36.000 --> 0:33:38.520
<v Speaker 1>can be very excited. Then of course, they have this

0:33:38.680 --> 0:33:42.960
<v Speaker 1>curated selection of fitness trainers that are all Apple employees now,

0:33:43.080 --> 0:33:45.720
<v Speaker 1>and they're all sort of different. You know, some are

0:33:45.800 --> 0:33:49.400
<v Speaker 1>martial arts backgrounds, some are yogis, some are runners. It's

0:33:49.440 --> 0:33:51.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of like the way Peloton does it. It's they've

0:33:51.320 --> 0:33:55.400
<v Speaker 1>got all these really kind of fun, energetic folks that

0:33:55.440 --> 0:33:57.720
<v Speaker 1>you can identify with, right, so that you find the

0:33:57.720 --> 0:34:01.160
<v Speaker 1>people that you identify with, and that's the classes that

0:34:01.200 --> 0:34:03.400
<v Speaker 1>you sort of stick to. So I've got my favorite

0:34:03.440 --> 0:34:10.080
<v Speaker 1>trainers on Peloton. One interesting thing that Apple said, and

0:34:10.120 --> 0:34:12.080
<v Speaker 1>that I think they called this out for a reason.

0:34:12.760 --> 0:34:16.040
<v Speaker 1>They said, you know, privacy is huge on this, and

0:34:16.320 --> 0:34:20.640
<v Speaker 1>the workouts or the trainers that you use will not

0:34:20.960 --> 0:34:24.120
<v Speaker 1>be stored with your Apple ID, So basically this stays

0:34:24.120 --> 0:34:27.240
<v Speaker 1>private on your phone. So I find that really interesting

0:34:27.239 --> 0:34:29.279
<v Speaker 1>because you know, Peloton has a whole bunch of data

0:34:29.360 --> 0:34:32.359
<v Speaker 1>on us about who we like to take classes with

0:34:32.640 --> 0:34:35.800
<v Speaker 1>and you know how we're working out. But the workout

0:34:35.880 --> 0:34:39.120
<v Speaker 1>data here is staying private, which I find to be

0:34:39.200 --> 0:34:42.200
<v Speaker 1>really different compared to what everyone else is doing. Apple

0:34:42.239 --> 0:34:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Fitness Plus is ten dollars a month or eighty dollars

0:34:44.719 --> 0:34:48.520
<v Speaker 1>for a year. It's going to launch sometime later this year.

0:34:53.239 --> 0:34:56.840
<v Speaker 1>All right, next question from Wilmer. Hey, Rich, I'd like

0:34:56.880 --> 0:34:59.400
<v Speaker 1>to start a podcast. Any insight on the equipment one

0:34:59.440 --> 0:35:01.600
<v Speaker 1>should purchase in order to make it sound as good

0:35:01.600 --> 0:35:04.279
<v Speaker 1>as yours. The podcast would be interview style, so two

0:35:04.320 --> 0:35:08.239
<v Speaker 1>to four mics would be the ideal setup I'm looking for. Well,

0:35:08.239 --> 0:35:12.399
<v Speaker 1>here's my advice, because I've been doing this podcast for many,

0:35:12.440 --> 0:35:14.760
<v Speaker 1>many years, and if you've been listening since the beginning,

0:35:14.840 --> 0:35:19.560
<v Speaker 1>you know that it is sounded vastly different over the years.

0:35:19.560 --> 0:35:21.160
<v Speaker 1>And I like to think that I've improved it, but

0:35:21.200 --> 0:35:22.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of it stayed the same. I mean, most

0:35:22.719 --> 0:35:25.759
<v Speaker 1>of it's just me talking into a microphone. And yes,

0:35:25.840 --> 0:35:28.439
<v Speaker 1>I try to do the occasional callers, occasional guest host

0:35:28.560 --> 0:35:31.240
<v Speaker 1>to bring in you know, other folks to read the questions,

0:35:31.280 --> 0:35:33.839
<v Speaker 1>like producer Megan. But at the end of the day,

0:35:34.360 --> 0:35:38.759
<v Speaker 1>if you're starting a podcast, you know, the reality is

0:35:38.840 --> 0:35:40.200
<v Speaker 1>you just need a.

0:35:40.239 --> 0:35:41.879
<v Speaker 2>Board and microphones.

0:35:42.400 --> 0:35:45.319
<v Speaker 1>So I would recommend just getting I started with a

0:35:45.360 --> 0:35:49.480
<v Speaker 1>really inexpensive mixer, a barringer mixer that I bought on Amazon,

0:35:50.520 --> 0:35:52.880
<v Speaker 1>and I would just look for a USB version of that,

0:35:53.520 --> 0:35:56.040
<v Speaker 1>and then look for some mics. Go on YouTube and

0:35:56.160 --> 0:35:58.760
<v Speaker 1>everyone recommends stuff that they want, you know, beginner podcasts.

0:35:58.880 --> 0:36:01.040
<v Speaker 2>Just see, just get a good, good mic, a good

0:36:01.080 --> 0:36:01.640
<v Speaker 2>MIC's stand.

0:36:01.719 --> 0:36:05.120
<v Speaker 1>I've got like an extension arm stand and you know,

0:36:05.719 --> 0:36:08.640
<v Speaker 1>a mixer, and that's all you need. But the reality

0:36:08.719 --> 0:36:11.640
<v Speaker 1>is just kind of upgrade as you go along, So

0:36:12.440 --> 0:36:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I assume you're not going to be making millions of

0:36:14.480 --> 0:36:18.040
<v Speaker 1>dollars on this podcast overnight. So my advice is to

0:36:18.320 --> 0:36:21.280
<v Speaker 1>just build as you get into a groove. And my

0:36:21.280 --> 0:36:23.960
<v Speaker 1>my biggest thing with this podcast is I want to

0:36:24.000 --> 0:36:26.080
<v Speaker 1>be able to do it on a regular basis, So

0:36:26.120 --> 0:36:28.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to just have one episode one week

0:36:28.200 --> 0:36:30.360
<v Speaker 1>and then ah, three weeks go by and I'm on

0:36:30.440 --> 0:36:32.520
<v Speaker 1>vacation and I don't do another one for another month,

0:36:32.560 --> 0:36:35.160
<v Speaker 1>and how annoying is that? And yes, there's been times

0:36:35.160 --> 0:36:37.840
<v Speaker 1>when I go on vacation and I don't file a podcast.

0:36:38.080 --> 0:36:40.680
<v Speaker 1>That happens a couple times a year, but most of

0:36:40.719 --> 0:36:43.280
<v Speaker 1>the time I have stuck to my schedule of Thursday

0:36:43.360 --> 0:36:47.760
<v Speaker 1>or Friday recording to put the podcast out, and that's

0:36:48.080 --> 0:36:50.279
<v Speaker 1>what I want to do, and that's the main thing.

0:36:50.320 --> 0:36:52.319
<v Speaker 1>It's like, I think it's more important to stick to

0:36:52.360 --> 0:36:57.200
<v Speaker 1>a schedule than to worry about the quality being being perfect,

0:36:57.280 --> 0:37:00.359
<v Speaker 1>perfect perfect. And as you get along, you can get

0:37:00.360 --> 0:37:03.280
<v Speaker 1>more things. In my room here, I've got little drapes

0:37:03.280 --> 0:37:07.600
<v Speaker 1>that I are little moving blankets from Harbor Freight that

0:37:07.640 --> 0:37:09.439
<v Speaker 1>you can just hang on the wall or put over

0:37:09.480 --> 0:37:12.080
<v Speaker 1>your furniture so that the room doesn't sound so hollowy.

0:37:12.440 --> 0:37:15.960
<v Speaker 1>I've got an extension arm. Like I said that that works,

0:37:15.960 --> 0:37:19.520
<v Speaker 1>and now I've got the road the road Caster. Let's

0:37:19.520 --> 0:37:21.279
<v Speaker 1>see what are these mics. The mics are the road

0:37:21.440 --> 0:37:24.839
<v Speaker 1>pro Caster, the road Caster Pro. It's always like I think,

0:37:24.880 --> 0:37:27.520
<v Speaker 1>once pro Roadcaster and then road Caster Pro. But those

0:37:27.520 --> 0:37:29.839
<v Speaker 1>are the things I use to do this podcast. And

0:37:29.880 --> 0:37:32.560
<v Speaker 1>I also use an app called Seconds to time things

0:37:32.600 --> 0:37:34.879
<v Speaker 1>out so that I can stay on time and stay

0:37:34.880 --> 0:37:37.680
<v Speaker 1>on task. But again, you know, then I just use

0:37:37.719 --> 0:37:39.640
<v Speaker 1>a pair of Apple headphones. But again it just just

0:37:39.719 --> 0:37:42.719
<v Speaker 1>start small and build up as you go along. The

0:37:42.760 --> 0:37:44.399
<v Speaker 1>main thing is to just you know, you can start

0:37:44.400 --> 0:37:46.520
<v Speaker 1>with the app called Anchor and just record it into

0:37:46.560 --> 0:37:48.720
<v Speaker 1>your iPhone. But if you have two to four people,

0:37:49.200 --> 0:37:51.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, you can't really do that, I don't think,

0:37:51.440 --> 0:37:53.640
<v Speaker 1>But you know, you can experiment along the way. I've

0:37:53.680 --> 0:37:55.600
<v Speaker 1>experimented with a lot of different ways of doing this,

0:37:55.760 --> 0:37:58.600
<v Speaker 1>and you know, just see what works for you, what

0:37:58.640 --> 0:38:01.640
<v Speaker 1>works for your podcast, and most importantly, just continue to

0:38:01.640 --> 0:38:01.960
<v Speaker 1>do it.

0:38:02.480 --> 0:38:02.759
<v Speaker 2>All right.

0:38:02.760 --> 0:38:04.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't even want to talk about this story because

0:38:04.360 --> 0:38:05.960
<v Speaker 1>I know by the time you hear this, who knows

0:38:06.000 --> 0:38:07.839
<v Speaker 1>if it's still going to be happening, but I'll mention

0:38:07.920 --> 0:38:12.800
<v Speaker 1>it since it's really interesting. But the US is going

0:38:12.840 --> 0:38:17.040
<v Speaker 1>to start banning downloads new downloads of TikTok and we Chat.

0:38:17.640 --> 0:38:21.319
<v Speaker 1>This news dropped from the US Commerce Department, and we've

0:38:21.360 --> 0:38:24.680
<v Speaker 1>heard back and forth about TikTok for a couple months now.

0:38:25.239 --> 0:38:27.239
<v Speaker 1>Now we Chat is somehow in the mix. I wasn't

0:38:27.280 --> 0:38:30.040
<v Speaker 1>aware of that before, but now it is. And so

0:38:30.080 --> 0:38:33.960
<v Speaker 1>we Chat and TikTok are both owned or I guess

0:38:34.360 --> 0:38:36.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if they're owned by the Chinese government,

0:38:36.200 --> 0:38:39.120
<v Speaker 1>but they obviously are based in China, and that scares

0:38:39.360 --> 0:38:42.719
<v Speaker 1>the US, and so the US is worried that some

0:38:42.760 --> 0:38:45.160
<v Speaker 1>of the data that these apps collect could be, you know,

0:38:45.840 --> 0:38:49.640
<v Speaker 1>somehow funneled to the Chinese government, and so therefore they

0:38:49.680 --> 0:38:53.360
<v Speaker 1>are either banning them outright or just kind of limiting

0:38:53.400 --> 0:38:56.960
<v Speaker 1>their access here in the US. So Sunday, September twentieth,

0:38:57.440 --> 0:39:00.560
<v Speaker 1>theoretically you will not be able to download Chat or

0:39:00.600 --> 0:39:01.480
<v Speaker 1>TikTok on.

0:39:01.400 --> 0:39:03.360
<v Speaker 2>Google Play or the Apple App Store.

0:39:03.880 --> 0:39:08.080
<v Speaker 1>And then they're going a step further and on November twelfth,

0:39:08.080 --> 0:39:11.239
<v Speaker 1>for TikTok, they're gonna really kind of clamp down on

0:39:11.280 --> 0:39:13.320
<v Speaker 1>it and say that you know, ISPs here in the

0:39:13.400 --> 0:39:16.160
<v Speaker 1>US can't even give people access, So there's basically no

0:39:16.200 --> 0:39:16.960
<v Speaker 1>way you'd be able.

0:39:16.880 --> 0:39:19.759
<v Speaker 2>To access TikTok after November twelfth. Do I think that's

0:39:19.800 --> 0:39:22.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna happen. Absolutely not. I think that this is gonna

0:39:22.200 --> 0:39:22.720
<v Speaker 2>be resolved.

0:39:22.760 --> 0:39:25.160
<v Speaker 1>I think that this is a little bit of politics

0:39:25.920 --> 0:39:28.480
<v Speaker 1>mixed into a little bit of fear, mixed into a

0:39:28.520 --> 0:39:31.239
<v Speaker 1>little bit of you know, someone wants to deal and

0:39:31.280 --> 0:39:34.960
<v Speaker 1>so I'm not too concerned that TikTok is going to

0:39:35.000 --> 0:39:37.839
<v Speaker 1>go away in the US. And we Chat, I mean,

0:39:37.880 --> 0:39:42.440
<v Speaker 1>that's that's pretty concerning because we Chat is the the

0:39:42.560 --> 0:39:46.360
<v Speaker 1>app over in China. And so if you imagine people

0:39:46.680 --> 0:39:49.920
<v Speaker 1>that are here in the US that are conversing with

0:39:50.280 --> 0:39:53.400
<v Speaker 1>their friends and family in China, they're probably using we Chat.

0:39:53.600 --> 0:39:55.560
<v Speaker 1>And so if that's cut off here, that's gonna be

0:39:55.600 --> 0:39:58.359
<v Speaker 1>a problem because people rely on that. Yes, you can

0:39:58.400 --> 0:40:00.920
<v Speaker 1>find something else, but you know, so in China you're

0:40:00.920 --> 0:40:02.960
<v Speaker 1>not allowed to use some of these other options, which

0:40:03.000 --> 0:40:07.719
<v Speaker 1>would be like something like Facebook or you know, Instagram,

0:40:07.760 --> 0:40:10.000
<v Speaker 1>you can't really access those. Now that goes to this

0:40:10.040 --> 0:40:14.200
<v Speaker 1>whole big problem of you know, is China suppressing.

0:40:13.719 --> 0:40:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Speech over there? Yeah? Probably, because when I was over there.

0:40:16.600 --> 0:40:18.760
<v Speaker 1>It's really tough to talk to people in the US

0:40:19.400 --> 0:40:21.759
<v Speaker 1>unless you're on the terms that China.

0:40:21.520 --> 0:40:22.399
<v Speaker 2>Wants you to use.

0:40:22.960 --> 0:40:26.160
<v Speaker 1>So do I think this is gonna happen in full?

0:40:26.239 --> 0:40:28.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so, but it's something to be aware of.

0:40:29.000 --> 0:40:32.440
<v Speaker 1>And if you want these apps on your phone, you

0:40:32.480 --> 0:40:35.920
<v Speaker 1>gotta download them now and see what happens. So for

0:40:35.920 --> 0:40:38.000
<v Speaker 1>for we Chat, it seems like it's gonna go away,

0:40:38.440 --> 0:40:40.680
<v Speaker 1>like all the functionality seems like it's gonna go away

0:40:41.520 --> 0:40:43.120
<v Speaker 1>over the weekend on September twentieth.

0:40:43.239 --> 0:40:44.160
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know.

0:40:44.239 --> 0:40:46.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I assume there's gonna be some sort of

0:40:46.040 --> 0:40:49.440
<v Speaker 1>last minute deal to save these things. But for TikTok,

0:40:49.440 --> 0:40:51.800
<v Speaker 1>you have a little bit longer November twelfth. But again,

0:40:52.040 --> 0:40:54.440
<v Speaker 1>you won't be able to download either of these theoretically

0:40:54.560 --> 0:40:57.759
<v Speaker 1>after Sunday, September twentieth, So we're gonna keep an eye

0:40:57.760 --> 0:40:59.799
<v Speaker 1>on that one. See what's gonna happen. But now you

0:40:59.840 --> 0:41:06.840
<v Speaker 1>know what the deal is, all right? Do I have

0:41:06.840 --> 0:41:08.400
<v Speaker 1>another question here.

0:41:11.600 --> 0:41:14.520
<v Speaker 2>Online sales? We did that? Ah, here we go.

0:41:15.840 --> 0:41:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Robert says, good afternoon, Rich you said you only got

0:41:18.640 --> 0:41:19.400
<v Speaker 1>good mornings.

0:41:19.640 --> 0:41:21.239
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, that's funny. I did say that. Oh you

0:41:21.280 --> 0:41:22.239
<v Speaker 2>listened to the podcast.

0:41:22.560 --> 0:41:26.200
<v Speaker 1>I installed iOS fourteen on both and both my iPhone

0:41:26.200 --> 0:41:28.600
<v Speaker 1>and iPad no longer show chrome Cast as an option

0:41:28.719 --> 0:41:31.279
<v Speaker 1>to cast. They still show the fire TV stick. Do

0:41:31.320 --> 0:41:32.640
<v Speaker 1>you have an idea on how to cast with a

0:41:32.680 --> 0:41:33.200
<v Speaker 1>new update?

0:41:33.239 --> 0:41:33.560
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

0:41:34.080 --> 0:41:36.840
<v Speaker 1>So what I think is happening, Robert, is there's a

0:41:36.880 --> 0:41:41.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of new security procedures built into iOS fourteen, and

0:41:41.520 --> 0:41:43.480
<v Speaker 1>one of those I don't know if you've noticed, but

0:41:43.560 --> 0:41:45.880
<v Speaker 1>every app that you open it says can this app

0:41:45.920 --> 0:41:48.800
<v Speaker 1>discover things on your network? And you're like, wait, what

0:41:48.800 --> 0:41:51.040
<v Speaker 1>what do you mean discover things on my network? So

0:41:51.120 --> 0:41:54.359
<v Speaker 1>the inkling is to say no. And I have a

0:41:54.400 --> 0:41:57.279
<v Speaker 1>feeling that to number one, you got to do two things.

0:41:57.360 --> 0:41:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Number one, you got to open up these apps again

0:42:00.239 --> 0:42:04.560
<v Speaker 1>to see if you mistakenly hit no to the network discovery.

0:42:04.800 --> 0:42:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Because what that network discovery is it is like it's saying,

0:42:07.200 --> 0:42:09.279
<v Speaker 1>like YouTube, when you open it up, it needs to

0:42:09.280 --> 0:42:11.000
<v Speaker 1>be able to look on your network, on your Wi

0:42:11.000 --> 0:42:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Fi network and discover the Chrome cast device. That's what

0:42:13.920 --> 0:42:16.440
<v Speaker 1>it's asking for. I know it sounds scary, and Apple

0:42:16.480 --> 0:42:19.360
<v Speaker 1>makes all these things sound very scary, like this app

0:42:19.400 --> 0:42:22.640
<v Speaker 1>got your precise location seventeen thousand times. Do you want

0:42:22.640 --> 0:42:24.759
<v Speaker 1>to allow that? You're like, yeah, it's Google Maps. I

0:42:24.760 --> 0:42:27.000
<v Speaker 1>mean I think it needs that to function. Now for

0:42:27.080 --> 0:42:28.799
<v Speaker 1>other apps you don't need that, And I think it's

0:42:28.920 --> 0:42:31.840
<v Speaker 1>very smart that Apple's done this because for something like

0:42:31.960 --> 0:42:35.560
<v Speaker 1>a photo app, like you know, a photo editing app

0:42:35.920 --> 0:42:38.320
<v Speaker 1>that makes your face look better, does not need access

0:42:38.320 --> 0:42:40.080
<v Speaker 1>to your location twenty four to seven. So I think

0:42:40.080 --> 0:42:43.440
<v Speaker 1>it's smart that Apple's done this, But it does get confusing.

0:42:43.480 --> 0:42:47.000
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, go ahead and open up these apps. Make

0:42:47.040 --> 0:42:49.800
<v Speaker 1>sure that you are saying yes to network discovery on

0:42:49.880 --> 0:42:53.560
<v Speaker 1>the ones that need to discover the things on your network.

0:42:53.880 --> 0:42:57.200
<v Speaker 1>So if it's something like you're trying to use, you know,

0:42:57.440 --> 0:43:00.359
<v Speaker 1>Hulu and you want a Chrome cast, and maybe you

0:43:00.360 --> 0:43:04.000
<v Speaker 1>can if it's not showing up, delete Hulu, reinstall it,

0:43:04.040 --> 0:43:06.120
<v Speaker 1>and when you get to that network discovery question, just

0:43:06.120 --> 0:43:08.080
<v Speaker 1>say yes, good question.

0:43:08.600 --> 0:43:08.920
<v Speaker 2>All right.

0:43:08.920 --> 0:43:13.200
<v Speaker 1>We have the PlayStation five details launching this November. Three

0:43:13.320 --> 0:43:16.239
<v Speaker 1>hundred and ninety nine dollars for the digital edition, four

0:43:16.400 --> 0:43:19.239
<v Speaker 1>ninety nine for the addition with an Ultra HD Blu

0:43:19.360 --> 0:43:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Ray disk drive, so one hundred bucks more for the

0:43:22.360 --> 0:43:24.560
<v Speaker 1>disk drive, which you may or may not need. I

0:43:24.600 --> 0:43:27.200
<v Speaker 1>don't think you need it, but you know I don't.

0:43:27.239 --> 0:43:29.080
<v Speaker 1>I have not had a disk drive in my house

0:43:29.120 --> 0:43:33.600
<v Speaker 1>in so long. Both use the same processor, which is

0:43:33.680 --> 0:43:36.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of cool, high fidel De graphics up to four K.

0:43:37.000 --> 0:43:40.000
<v Speaker 1>They both have the same high speed solid state drive,

0:43:40.800 --> 0:43:45.239
<v Speaker 1>and both models offer better dual Sense wireless controllers with.

0:43:45.200 --> 0:43:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Three D audio.

0:43:46.120 --> 0:43:50.000
<v Speaker 1>So you basically get the same thing, except a disk

0:43:50.080 --> 0:43:53.160
<v Speaker 1>drive on one, no disk drive on the other. Did

0:43:53.160 --> 0:43:56.040
<v Speaker 1>I say when it's launching? It is coming to us

0:43:56.120 --> 0:44:01.760
<v Speaker 1>on November twelfth, So this price at three makes the

0:44:01.800 --> 0:44:05.600
<v Speaker 1>digital edition of the PlayStation five one hundred dollars more

0:44:05.640 --> 0:44:09.920
<v Speaker 1>than the digital edition of the Xbox series. I think

0:44:09.960 --> 0:44:15.360
<v Speaker 1>it's the s the smaller one, So that's a decision

0:44:15.440 --> 0:44:17.600
<v Speaker 1>you have to make. There are a lot of options

0:44:17.640 --> 0:44:20.399
<v Speaker 1>with this thing, too, a lot of accessories you've got.

0:44:20.840 --> 0:44:23.399
<v Speaker 1>Let's see, a dual Sense wireless controller is seventy bucks

0:44:23.400 --> 0:44:25.440
<v Speaker 1>if you want extra one of those. They've got a

0:44:25.440 --> 0:44:27.880
<v Speaker 1>three D wireless headset with three D audio that's one

0:44:27.960 --> 0:44:31.960
<v Speaker 1>hundred bucks, with a microphone, HD camera sixty bucks, a

0:44:32.040 --> 0:44:35.239
<v Speaker 1>remote control thirty dollars, and a charging station for your

0:44:35.239 --> 0:44:38.759
<v Speaker 1>remote controls all right, sorry for your two controllers, that's

0:44:38.840 --> 0:44:42.920
<v Speaker 1>thirty dollars, so oo start saving now for those holidays.

0:44:43.040 --> 0:44:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm likely getting my kids the Xbox I think it's gosh,

0:44:47.520 --> 0:44:48.160
<v Speaker 1>which one is it?

0:44:48.160 --> 0:44:52.560
<v Speaker 2>The Xbox Series? Is it the S? I'm thinking it's

0:44:52.560 --> 0:44:55.040
<v Speaker 2>the S, right, yeah, the S. So I want the S.

0:44:55.560 --> 0:44:58.120
<v Speaker 1>So that one's the digital Xbox and I think my

0:44:58.200 --> 0:44:59.719
<v Speaker 1>kids will like that one. Oh I hear my kids

0:44:59.719 --> 0:45:03.640
<v Speaker 1>scream right now? Isn't that funny? Working from home? It's

0:45:03.680 --> 0:45:06.600
<v Speaker 1>just the stuff that goes on is just wild, because

0:45:06.920 --> 0:45:09.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're all here, my wife, me, my two kids,

0:45:09.440 --> 0:45:11.920
<v Speaker 1>and my one kid is in kindergarten. He doesn't you know,

0:45:12.640 --> 0:45:15.680
<v Speaker 1>it's really tough for kindergartener to be on Zoom for classes.

0:45:16.239 --> 0:45:19.360
<v Speaker 1>So my other one, my older kid, takes everything very seriously,

0:45:19.840 --> 0:45:21.560
<v Speaker 1>and the little one, of course, gets bored after a

0:45:21.600 --> 0:45:23.719
<v Speaker 1>couple of minutes, and he starts jumping around, you know,

0:45:24.160 --> 0:45:25.359
<v Speaker 1>upsetting my older kid.

0:45:25.680 --> 0:45:26.480
<v Speaker 2>It is pretty wild.

0:45:26.560 --> 0:45:28.359
<v Speaker 1>So if you hear them screaming in the background, that's

0:45:28.360 --> 0:45:31.600
<v Speaker 1>the backstory. Now, you know, let's go to one more

0:45:31.719 --> 0:45:33.399
<v Speaker 1>story or do I have time for one?

0:45:33.480 --> 0:45:33.759
<v Speaker 2>Or two?

0:45:34.160 --> 0:45:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Maybe two quick stories here? Arlow has a new wire

0:45:37.760 --> 0:45:41.600
<v Speaker 1>free video doorbell. This is a one and ninety nine

0:45:41.640 --> 0:45:44.879
<v Speaker 1>dollars device that's launching in a little bit later this year.

0:45:45.440 --> 0:45:47.600
<v Speaker 1>But it's kind of like the same thing as their

0:45:47.680 --> 0:45:50.879
<v Speaker 1>wired video doorbell, except it has.

0:45:50.640 --> 0:45:51.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's battery.

0:45:52.200 --> 0:45:56.719
<v Speaker 1>So the the interesting feature about this is that they

0:45:56.719 --> 0:45:58.360
<v Speaker 1>have this thing. Now I need to test this outcause

0:45:58.360 --> 0:46:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm very curious how this works. But they call it

0:46:00.719 --> 0:46:03.680
<v Speaker 1>direct to mobile video call. So I get a lot

0:46:03.719 --> 0:46:06.040
<v Speaker 1>of emails from folks that have a ring video doorbell

0:46:06.320 --> 0:46:08.600
<v Speaker 1>and they say, ah, my ring takes so long. By

0:46:08.640 --> 0:46:11.160
<v Speaker 1>the time I get the notification, tap it, and then

0:46:11.160 --> 0:46:13.960
<v Speaker 1>the video starts, the person's either walked away or it's

0:46:14.000 --> 0:46:16.120
<v Speaker 1>just too slow. And a lot of that has to

0:46:16.120 --> 0:46:18.560
<v Speaker 1>do with your Wi Fi signal, because for mine, it's

0:46:18.640 --> 0:46:21.600
<v Speaker 1>pretty darn fast and I've got decent Wi Fi. But

0:46:22.840 --> 0:46:25.919
<v Speaker 1>Arlow must know that there's a pain point because they

0:46:25.960 --> 0:46:29.680
<v Speaker 1>have something called direct to mobile video call, and calls

0:46:30.000 --> 0:46:32.600
<v Speaker 1>go to your phone directly, so you don't miss a visitor.

0:46:33.080 --> 0:46:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Now what does that mean.

0:46:34.000 --> 0:46:34.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure.

0:46:34.600 --> 0:46:36.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's setting up some sort of ad

0:46:36.360 --> 0:46:40.640
<v Speaker 1>hoc network, but I guess it's somehow routing these calls

0:46:40.680 --> 0:46:43.200
<v Speaker 1>faster through your home Wi Fi to your phone, so

0:46:43.280 --> 0:46:45.960
<v Speaker 1>immediately the video stream is on your phone and you

0:46:45.960 --> 0:46:49.080
<v Speaker 1>can answer it and see the person. Also has two

0:46:49.080 --> 0:46:52.279
<v Speaker 1>way audio video messaging, so your guests can now leave

0:46:52.360 --> 0:46:55.160
<v Speaker 1>a voice message if you're unable to answer the door,

0:46:55.160 --> 0:46:56.040
<v Speaker 1>which is kind of cool.

0:46:56.719 --> 0:46:58.440
<v Speaker 2>HD video with HDR.

0:46:58.280 --> 0:47:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Night vision, it's weather resistant, it's got a built in

0:47:01.040 --> 0:47:03.319
<v Speaker 1>siren so you can trigger it if there's a problem

0:47:03.360 --> 0:47:08.040
<v Speaker 1>at your house, and one hundred and eighty degree viewing angle.

0:47:08.520 --> 0:47:10.880
<v Speaker 1>So it is going to be one hundred ninety nine

0:47:10.880 --> 0:47:14.400
<v Speaker 1>dollars two hundred bucks when it launches later this year.

0:47:14.680 --> 0:47:17.560
<v Speaker 1>But again, people love Arlow because they make these video

0:47:17.560 --> 0:47:20.520
<v Speaker 1>cameras that are super easy to put up anywhere, and

0:47:21.360 --> 0:47:23.719
<v Speaker 1>they were kind of the only game in town until

0:47:23.920 --> 0:47:26.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, Rain came along with their stick up cams,

0:47:26.120 --> 0:47:29.920
<v Speaker 1>and then now you've got the Wisecam outdoors which.

0:47:29.760 --> 0:47:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Are super cheap.

0:47:30.960 --> 0:47:34.000
<v Speaker 1>But people love Arlow, and again, this will probably be

0:47:34.080 --> 0:47:37.760
<v Speaker 1>something if you're in that Arlow ecosystem that you'll really

0:47:38.080 --> 0:47:43.520
<v Speaker 1>like having. And I think that's all the questions I

0:47:43.640 --> 0:47:49.280
<v Speaker 1>get I had today. One more thing. Verizon is acquiring

0:47:49.360 --> 0:47:52.160
<v Speaker 1>Trackphone Wireless. Not much to tell you about there, but

0:47:52.280 --> 0:47:54.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, if you have Trackphone, Verizon is going to

0:47:54.760 --> 0:47:57.920
<v Speaker 1>be purchasing them, which you know, is kind of interesting.

0:47:58.040 --> 0:48:01.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean track phone. The The interesting thing about this

0:48:01.280 --> 0:48:03.600
<v Speaker 1>is that I was under the impression that trackphone worked

0:48:03.640 --> 0:48:07.120
<v Speaker 1>with all of the mobile wireless providers, and I assume

0:48:07.160 --> 0:48:09.719
<v Speaker 1>that they're only going to work with Verizon now. So

0:48:10.960 --> 0:48:16.120
<v Speaker 1>it says that let's see, yeah, trackphone has approximately twenty

0:48:16.120 --> 0:48:20.160
<v Speaker 1>one million subscribers, and thirteen million of them are on Verizon,

0:48:20.560 --> 0:48:23.960
<v Speaker 1>So that leaves what eight million subscribers that are on

0:48:24.040 --> 0:48:26.040
<v Speaker 1>some sort of other network I'm guessing at and T.

0:48:26.920 --> 0:48:28.719
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not sure what that means, Like, are they

0:48:28.719 --> 0:48:31.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna make all those people switch to Verizon? I'm not sure,

0:48:31.200 --> 0:48:33.320
<v Speaker 1>but it's just something good to know keep a lookout

0:48:33.320 --> 0:48:38.160
<v Speaker 1>at on the horizon, because that is something that is

0:48:39.600 --> 0:48:43.279
<v Speaker 1>one of those need to know kind of things. Oh

0:48:43.320 --> 0:48:45.759
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, the music, it's already here.

0:48:46.040 --> 0:48:48.840
<v Speaker 2>You know what that means. That's gonna do it for

0:48:48.880 --> 0:48:50.160
