1
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: Google shows off new features and a great new phone.

2
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 1: At Io twenty nineteen, Samsung says the Fold will live,

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: the popular photo app that was doing something not so nice,

4
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: and another app I'm currently obsessed with right now. Plus

5
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: your questions. What's going on? I'm Rich Demiro. This is

6
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: Rich on Tech, the podcast where I talk about this

7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: stuff I think you should know about happening in the

8
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: tech world. Plus we answer your tech questions. Joining me

9
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: as usual is producer Megan.

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 2: Hello, Rich, how are you.

11
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: We've had quite the morning here. We've been testing new equipment.

12
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,639
Speaker 2: It's been pretty intense.

13
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 3: We've been trying to figure out how to use the

14
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 3: audio board or new audio board, and also how to

15
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 3: live stream.

16
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems like they are mutually exclusive at this

17
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 1: point because we can do the audio board just fine.

18
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: We can take calls, but as soon as we try

19
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: to put it into Facebook Live, it just conks out

20
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: on us. So we will go back to the drawing

21
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 1: board on that. But don't worry about it. We still

22
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: have lots of questions, and we actually did a successful

23
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: test earlier today on my Facebook page. But now we're

24
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: actually going to get just into the podcast. So I

25
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: just got back from Google Io, which is the company's

26
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: big developers conference up in Mountain View. By the way,

27
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: one of my favorite events of the year because I

28
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: love Google. I love what they do, I love their

29
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: approach to things. I think they're a really smart company,

30
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: and I love just seeing kind of what they're doing

31
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: on stage. Now, I'll admit this year was not the

32
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: most exciting year, but they did have a bunch of

33
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: things I think you guys should know about. And I

34
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: think the first one is basically the theme that they

35
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: always go after is using AI. They just use AI

36
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: to kind of solve every problem in the world, and

37
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: these are not necessarily problems, but they're just kind of

38
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: fun stuff. So if you know about Google Lens, that's

39
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: their product where you can kind of aim your camera

40
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: at things it can identify stuff. Well, now they're using

41
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: that in search, so they're bringing augmented reality to search.

42
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: And the example they showed, which is kind of cool,

43
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: is let's say you're a kid doing a report on

44
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: a great white shark. You can aim your phone kind

45
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: of in your kitchen and see how big the shark is,

46
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: like super imposed over your kitchen, which is kind of cool.

47
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: That's cool, you know, like to get to understand like

48
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: the size of something, like here's what going to use that? Yeah,

49
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: that's really fun, or like if you're buying sneakers. You know,

50
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: obviously everything with Google has some sort of financial slant eventually,

51
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: you know, or hopefully not really they do a lot

52
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: of stuff that doesn't make the money, but you know,

53
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: if you want a pair of sneakers, you can see

54
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: how they look in your room or with an outfit

55
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: or something. So that was kind of interesting too. Little

56
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: fun things with Google lens. You can point your camera

57
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: at a restaurant menu and it will highlight the most

58
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: popular things on that menu, and then the other one

59
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: was what was the other one? It was the restaurant menu,

60
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: and it was also the tip at the end, Like

61
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: if you get your bill, you aim your lens at

62
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: the bill and you can divide up like it gives

63
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: you a virtual calculator on the screen. So that was

64
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: kind of cool like that. You can also read things

65
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: out loud, so you can, let's say you're in like

66
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 1: a foreign country and you see a sign, you can

67
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: literally aim your phone there and it will read the

68
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: sign out loud in whatever language that you want. So

69
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: that's kind of cool. Then they talked about Google Duplex.

70
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: I talked about this on earlier podcasts how I used

71
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: it to make a restaurant reservation. Now they're expanding it

72
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: to the web. So let's say the example they shown

73
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: they showed was booking a rental car. So you have

74
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: to go through all these screens, put in all your information.

75
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: Well with the assistant. It kind of knows when you've

76
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: planned your trip because you've already booked your ticket and

77
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: it's in Gmail, so it knows the dates. It knows

78
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: what kind of rental car you like because you're previous

79
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: rental cars, and it basically fills in the web form

80
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: for you. And this is not like one of those

81
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: autofill things you've seen with like a password manager or

82
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: just like any autofill. This is actually intelligent autofill, where

83
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: it's looking at what it needs to fill in, finding

84
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: that information and placing it there for you and you're

85
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: always in control. By the way, the other announcement from

86
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: Google was the Pixel phones, and they came out with

87
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: two phones, the Pixel three A and the Pixel three AXL.

88
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: And I will tell you right off the bat, I

89
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,119
Speaker 1: played with these things just a little bit at Google Io,

90
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: and they're forced to be reckoned with Now you're talking

91
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: four hundred dollars for one of the best smartphones on

92
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: the market. That's incredible, it is, and it has the

93
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: best camera, one of the best cameras. Actually, I think

94
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: it is the best camera you can get on a smartphone.

95
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: So now you're talking four hundred bucks for a smartphone

96
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: camera that's really good.

97
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 3: Better you said best camera on a smartphone. Yeah, better

98
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 3: than iPhone?

99
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, Okay, Now I wouldn't say in every

100
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 1: single situation, I think the iPhone is a good overall

101
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: camera and an excellent overall camera. The Pixel excels at

102
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: taking pictures in a way that like every picture you

103
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: get is like amazing, no matter what it is of

104
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: So anyway, that's kind of like that puts a lot

105
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: of pressure on other companies at this point, because you know,

106
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: there's a lot of phones out there that are more

107
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: expensive than that. And i'd probably recommend if someone doesn't

108
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: care about like the whole phone, like, oh my god,

109
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: I need like the fastest processor. The things you don't

110
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: get with the Pixel are the fastest processor. It's like

111
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: a processor that's at least a year old. You don't

112
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: get water resistance, you don't get wireless charging, you get

113
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: a plastic back instead of like this, you know, pretty

114
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: glass phone. But for the average person who literally emails

115
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: me all the time saying like, hey, Rich, I just

116
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: want a phone that's really good. It'd be nice if

117
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: hat a good camera, this is like an easy no brainer.

118
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: So all right, Megan, do you have a let me

119
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: just try one of these sound effects out here. Okay, okay,

120
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: that's that's your intro music transition. Do you have a

121
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: question for us?

122
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 3: I do, and it's from Twitter. It has to do

123
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 3: with Google. This is from at NJ Neer. I think

124
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 3: he's trying to say engineer.

125
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: Oh, which is that's a good one.

126
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: Clever.

127
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 3: Rich. Having seen the Pixel three A, would you pick

128
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 3: the three A or the S ten E if price

129
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 3: was equal?

130
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:49,119
Speaker 1: Wow? Good segue. Megan, do the clapping? Oh, I should

131
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: have done the clapping. So that's a great question. So

132
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: the the S ten E is kind of Samsung's low

133
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: end phone. It's really not a I shouldn't say low end,

134
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: I should say it's their least expensive phone. It's kind

135
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: of like the S ten You have the S ten

136
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: plus and then you have the S ten e. I

137
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: believe it starts at seven hundred and fifty dollars for

138
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,119
Speaker 1: that phone, which now seems like it used to seem

139
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: like a little bit of money. Now it seems like

140
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: a crazy amount of money because if you think about it,

141
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: I think that the Pixel three A is a better

142
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: value because you're getting a better camera overall the Samsung

143
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: S ten e. It's got a fingerprint reader kind of

144
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: in I think in a weird place. I think the

145
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: Pixel engineer, you go with the Pixel and the S

146
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: ten e is I think that Samsung excels in the

147
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: high end phones, and I wouldn't go for for seven

148
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty bucks. I think you're better served for

149
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: four hundred dollars with the smaller phone from Google. And

150
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: they're about the same size. When I say smaller, I

151
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: mean like the you know, the budget model or whatever

152
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: you want to call it. But that is that's going

153
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: to be the question that a lot of people are

154
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: going to wonder because the S ten e was sort

155
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: of like the phone that was like the entry level

156
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: kind of like the the iPhone ten are those are

157
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: kind of like right now the entry level devices, And

158
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: now we've got this pixel at four hundred. That just

159
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: kind of messes with everything. You have to rethink everything exactly.

160
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: I like it, though, I agree it was definitely necessary,

161
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: and I'm glad that Google it took Google to do

162
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: something like that. Speaking of Google, they also announced the

163
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: new product at Io called the Nest Hub Max. Now

164
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: this I did get some extensive hands on time with,

165
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: so I will tell you everything you need to know

166
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: about this. If you're familiar with the Google Home Hub,

167
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: that was a little product they introduced last year that

168
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: has the screen and it's also Google Assistant. It's also

169
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: a speaker. It also shows off your pictures that did

170
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: not have a camera. It also had a tiny screen,

171
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: seven inch screen. It's great, great for the kitchen, great

172
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: for like maybe bedside, but probably not. But I mean,

173
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: I guess you could put it there. But I'd like

174
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: to remember at CES we saw that little tiny clock,

175
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: that Lenovo smart clock, yeah, which never came out on it,

176
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: Like they said, spring is spring still here?

177
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 2: It's so summer?

178
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you? Yeah, So they need to either come

179
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: out with that or what that was eighty bucks that

180
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: would be perfect for the bedside. But this one is

181
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: the neb the Nest Hub Max. And if you notice

182
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: they've rebranded this to Nest, it's no longer Google Home.

183
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: It's now called Nest Hub, so, which is kind of

184
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean I So the reason why

185
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: they're renaming it Nest is kind of, you know, I

186
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: bring things in line across all their products. And this

187
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: has a Nest camera in it, so there is a

188
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: security camera in this device, or a camera that could

189
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: be used as a security camera. Plus it could be

190
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: used for video chat. It could also recognize you, so

191
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: it does have facial recognition, so when you walk up

192
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: to this thing, it gives you your notification. So if

193
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: you share your house with a couple people, only when

194
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: you walk up to it, does it say, oh, here's

195
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: what's on your calendar next, just for you. So that's interesting.

196
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, what if you're a twin that it would.

197
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: Have some problems. Good question, Megan, good question. Okay, So

198
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: the camera is a wide angle camera. It also follows

199
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: you around the room, so when you're video chatting, you

200
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: can kind of be like cooking or moving around it

201
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: follows you, which is kind of cool. And then they

202
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: have this thing called quick gestures, So when you're let's

203
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: say you're playing music with your Google Home Hub. Before

204
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: you have to go up to the screen and press

205
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: the pause button. Now you can just look at the

206
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: screen and hold your hand up kind of like that.

207
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: Talk to the hand motion, and it will pause the

208
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: music or start playing it. Yeah, I know, just don't

209
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: talk to the hand. Rich So it's gonna be two

210
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty nine dollars. They say it's going to

211
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: be available this summer. My Intel tells me sometime in July,

212
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: so we'll see.

213
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 2: Present.

214
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm excited for this one because I love that

215
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: it's multifunctional, like you can have this in your living room.

216
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: It acts as a security camera. It also acts as

217
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: a video chat device. And I'll be honest, what I

218
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: think is missing in the home is a way to

219
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: video chat easily with people in a fixed way. So

220
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: I know you probably use FaceTime with folks. FaceTime is great,

221
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: but the problem with FaceTime is people are moving around

222
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: too much and they're always kind of like moving and

223
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: sometimes you have to prop your phone up. With this,

224
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: it's like the device is there, you can kind of

225
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: it's steady, so it's like a much more calm experience

226
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: in my for my taste. Like with tablets and stuff,

227
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 1: you're always trying to either prop it up or you're

228
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: moving around, and it's just like you want to be

229
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 1: done video chatting to me quicker because it's too much

230
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: movement a laptop. I don't ever video chat on a

231
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 1: laptop ever, Like I've never I don't think I've ever

232
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: done that. Okay, Well you're the new generation, so maybe

233
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: that's maybe that's why are you a millennial? Yeah? Oh

234
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: you are.

235
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm right on the cuss.

236
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: I thought you were too young to be millennial, not.

237
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: A gen Z or whatever there.

238
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, do you have another question for me? Yes?

239
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: I do.

240
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 3: This is a little different. This is an email from Chris.

241
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 3: He said a while ago, you shared and a vacation

242
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 3: booking app Best Deals in Hotels.

243
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 2: Thank you.

244
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, that's the email. Oh is there a question?

245
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: Does you want to know what it is?

246
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 2: What the share?

247
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 3: You shared a vacation booking app.

248
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 2: That's the vacation booking app.

249
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: So I think he's talking about Ernie. Yeah, so that's

250
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: what I'm guessing. So I talked about Ernie, but I

251
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: feel like I talked about something else. Oh I did

252
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: I talked about the other one too. Okay, so Ernie

253
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: E ar and Y this is an app that is

254
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: a great app for refunds. Well, it used to be.

255
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: They've kind of the service has The service has not changed,

256
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: but the retailers have gotten really hip to what they

257
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: did and they kind of changed everything. So when I

258
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: first signed up with Ernie, my credit card would give

259
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: me a refund anytime a price dropped on Amazon. Well,

260
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: my credit card basically took that functionality away because so

261
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: many people started doing claims. So they're like, oh, never mind,

262
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: we don't give you that anymore. So the only reason

263
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: they had it on the credit card was when people

264
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: didn't use it, which is so dumb. Then when people

265
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 1: started using it, they're like, oh never mind, we're not

266
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: going to give you that feature anymore. So Ernie went

267
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 1: and they said, okay, we'll try it through. Anyway. Long

268
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: story short, they still get you refunds, but only if

269
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: like the retailer can support it, and if you're there

270
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 1: are certain credit cards that still do it. Mind does not,

271
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: so that's the number one. They've added hotels to the mix,

272
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: so if you book a hotel and the price drops,

273
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: they will find you a better price. Now, I'll be honest.

274
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: I did book a couple hotels in the past couple

275
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: months since we did this story. They never even showed

276
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: up in my Earni app. So I'm not sure if

277
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: they're not parsing my data correctly or if maybe Hilton

278
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: is not part of this. But that's why I book primarily.

279
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: But I've never seen in the app saying like here's

280
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: your Hilton, here's how much you pay two twenty four

281
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: to night, and we're watching that price like that never happened,

282
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: so I'm not sure I can't really vouch for how

283
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: good that service is. Got it now. The other app

284
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: that I talked about was Google one, and so Google

285
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: one is basically if you have Google storage with Google,

286
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: you're paying That means you're paying for storage through Google,

287
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: Google Drive, something like that. They have a hotel benefit.

288
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: So if you go to one dot Google dot com,

289
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: they have special Google one member pricing on hotels. So

290
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 1: there is a link, there's not I don't think there's

291
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: a direct link to get to it, but you tap

292
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: that link and next thing you know, you'll be taken

293
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: to a hotel search. And if you if they have

294
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: like a deal from Google like a special deal, special rate.

295
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: You will see that show up. Now I'm looking in

296
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, I don't see any. So I usually go

297
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: to Orlando because that has a lot of hotels and deals.

298
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: So let's see. So if I go to Orlando, member price.

299
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 1: So the Crown Plaza Orlando is normally one hundred and

300
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: one dollars, but Google one members get it for ninety

301
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: one dollars, so you're saving ten bucks.

302
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 2: What's the membership? Is it free?

303
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: No, it's you have to be paying for storage through Google.

304
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: It's so weird. I mean, what a random like side thing, right,

305
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: you know, like, oh, I pay for storage on Google Drive,

306
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: so I get hotel rates that are better than the

307
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: average person. Makes no sense? Yeah, all right, but that

308
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: answers this question. So Ernie and also one dot Google

309
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: dot com fair member, and you know you've got travel happening.

310
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 1: Google Maps I love. Do you love Google Maps? Do

311
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: you use them? I know your iPhone? You just default.

312
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 3: Well, but I was trying to use Google Maps for

313
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 3: a while and then to be honest, I prefer Apple Maps.

314
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: Really. I think I prefer the look of Apple Maps.

315
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: I think it's like simpler. Yeah, but I like the

316
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: functionality of Google Maps better. Well, now Google is bringing

317
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: incognito mode to Google Maps. So incognito mode is basically

318
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: a private mode where Google does not track what you're doing.

319
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: They introduced it, I believe, on Chrome. Then they brought

320
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: it to YouTube, which is handy for my kids because

321
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: when they're watching their Disney videos, it doesn't go into

322
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: my algorithm of like basically, when my kids started watching

323
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: videos on my phone, all my videos would be changed

324
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: to Mickey Mouse and gamers that are doing like walkthroughs

325
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: on games. So it's kind of like that's annoying, you know.

326
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: And now you can pop it in incognito mode. They

327
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: can search and do all their stuff and it doesn't

328
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: like kind of count towards your account, which is kind

329
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: of cool. So now they're doing this with Google Maps,

330
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: and once you turn this on, it will not save

331
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: the data that you're searching, like any places that you

332
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: search for, any places that you route to. And of

333
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: course what comes to mind, what like cheating couples basically

334
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: oh yeah, like someone's like, oh I don't want to

335
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: you know, let's just make sure I'm going to navigate this.

336
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 3: Does the map turn kind of gray?

337
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't turn gray.

338
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 2: What happens when you go incogast.

339
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: They showed, Yeah, they showed that would.

340
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 2: Be kind of weird, like turned really dark.

341
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: They know what did turn dark though, is normally there's

342
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: a blue little icon that lights up on Google Maps

343
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: that did turn gray, so you know, signifying that like

344
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: we know your location, but we're not sharing that, we're

345
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: not tracking. So anyway, it's interesting. I mean, it's one

346
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: of those things that, like, I believe in privacy we

347
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: should have with all these things that are tracking us,

348
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: it should be easier to like pause that tracking. But

349
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: of course what comes to mind is like people using

350
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: this for like, you know, like to get around you know.

351
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 2: And your significant on others be able to see you.

352
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: Well, it's a whole other topic. We're just talking. We're

353
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: just telling that. We're telling you about the technology. We're

354
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: not telling you how to use it, right, all right? So, uh, Megan,

355
00:15:59,160 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: do you have another question?

356
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 3: I have a Actually it's not really your question, it's

357
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 3: more like a statement, but I just wanted.

358
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 2: To include it.

359
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: Is this something you wrote?

360
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 3: It's not from me, it's from someone named Tito, and

361
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 3: it's regarding the latest Samsung Galaxy system update.

362
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 2: And he's kind of kind of upset about it.

363
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: I smell a rant coming out.

364
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much.

365
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: Let's hear it.

366
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 3: Hi, Rich, have you experienced the latest Samsung Galaxy system update?

367
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 2: I have an S.

368
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 3: Eight and I absolutely hate the update. I chatted with

369
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 3: someone at Samsung the other day who was of no help.

370
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 3: Do you have an inside contact to tell them how

371
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 3: much we hate what they did? Can you ask them

372
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 3: to change it back? I lost some features I use religiously,

373
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 3: and the icons look as if they belong on a

374
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 3: Fisher Price phone.

375
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: Ugh, that's it. Yeah, do you say like necessarily, Tito? Well,

376
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: what he's talking about is the Samsung one. And I'll

377
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: be honest, I've gotten a bunch of emails about this,

378
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: because anytime something changes on a phone, people get up

379
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: in arms. Right. You get used to how like remember

380
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: when like iOS changed. You know, it's like you you

381
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: kind of like get used to how something works, and

382
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: then it changes and you're like, all of a sudden, ah,

383
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: this is really obnoxious, right, Like I knew how to

384
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: send a text, or I knew how to get to

385
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: this part of the menu, and it all changes. So

386
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: I understand where you're coming from, Tito, but it's not

387
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: changing back. I'll tell you that they've I've been using

388
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: the one UI. I was kind of a beta tester

389
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: for like the past year before they launched it like

390
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: on all their new phones, And it's kind of one

391
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: of those things that like, yeah, it is kind of

392
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: candy colored and candy icons and stuff, but it's they're

393
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: trying to be simple, they're trying to be a friendlier interface,

394
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: and that's what they decided to do. So there's not

395
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: much you can do about it. You can't really go

396
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: back as far as I know. I mean, you could

397
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: probably find the software online, but you don't. You're not

398
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: going to do that.

399
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 3: Well, were the features that were lost?

400
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,120
Speaker 1: People have said that there were like certain little weird things,

401
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: Like people have told me they're not able to sign

402
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: assign specific ring tones to contacts anymore. That was like

403
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: one thing that like someone emailed me about and I

404
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: kind of like looked and I looked on my phone

405
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, yeah, I think they're right,

406
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 1: Like that was something you used to be able to do.

407
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: Maybe it's back. Here's the other thing. On a lot

408
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: of these kind of big software updates, it takes them

409
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: a while to like figure out. Oh shoot, we forgot

410
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: to include that. We need to you know, or that

411
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: people kind of liked how that worked and we need

412
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: to go back. So and the other thing about being

413
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: human that's awesome is that we adapt to a lot

414
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 1: of stuff. So Tito, I have no worry or no

415
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 1: doubt in my mind that eventually you will get used

416
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: to it and you'll kind of forget the way things

417
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: used to be. I mean, if you give me like

418
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: an old iPhone from like five years ago, you would

419
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: not even buil. You'd be like, this is disgusting, Like

420
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: I can't even believe people use this. But back in

421
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: the day, we thought it was amazing. So that kind

422
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: of happens with tech. Well I'm gonna segue speaking of Samsung,

423
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: since you brought up Samsung, I want to do like

424
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: a oh a segue. Well, now that can't be segue,

425
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: I have to do there we.

426
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 2: Go, Oh do that okay.

427
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: So Samsung says, actually, this is it is mysterious because

428
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: the Fold wow just blow out everyone's ear drums. So

429
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: the Galaxy Fold, you know, was supposed to launch on

430
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: April twenty sixth in the US. It did not because

431
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 1: a bunch of reviewers had problems with little gunk or

432
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: something getting into the screen and it disabled the phone.

433
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: And this happened to at least I think there was

434
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: four reports. Two people pulled off the protective screen, which stupid,

435
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: don't do that, like that messed up their phone obviously.

436
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: The other two people were legit, like their phone was

437
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: messed up because a piece of lint or something got

438
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: behind the screen, which should not happen. Right. Yeah, Now,

439
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: if you saw the Galaxy fold like I had, I

440
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: had the opportunity to go hands on before this thing

441
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: was recalled it there was like sort of a gap

442
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: because the screen folds, so I can understand how stuff

443
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: can get behind there and really mess it up. So,

444
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: according to the Korea Herald, the phone will launch. The

445
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: South Korean tech giant Samsung told them that they're going

446
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: to reach a conclusion in the next couple of days

447
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: on when they're going to launch this. So now they

448
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: didn't say they didn't say they're going to reach a

449
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: conclusion on the launch date. They said we're going to

450
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 1: reach a conclusion. So does that mean maybe they're not

451
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: going to launch it? I don't know. That's what a

452
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: lot of the rumors.

453
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 2: Say, right now, what's the headline.

454
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: Well, the headline says Samsung CEO confirms imminent launch of

455
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: Galaxy Fold after fixing flaws. But this can be interpreted

456
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: in a couple of ways because the only quote they

457
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: have is the company has reviewed the defect caused from

458
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: substances that entered the device, and we will reach a

459
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: conclusion in a couple of days on the launch. That

460
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: could go both ways. That could go they're gonna say, okay,

461
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: here's the date, or they can say, you know what,

462
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna scrap this like failure to launch. Right.

463
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 3: I think last week I said that they're going to

464
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 3: scrap it.

465
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: You think they're going to scrap it now you think now?

466
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 2: I feel like they're using it to their advance.

467
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: No, there's no advantage here. This is sad. This is

468
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: like really, it's bad for their image.

469
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 2: It's really sad.

470
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: And who's gonna buy this? I mean, really, would you

471
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: go into a store and buy this phone after you

472
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: knew all these problems with it? No way?

473
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 3: Even I was really rich, would I am rich?

474
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: I mean that's my name, you are? And I still

475
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't buy it. So they said that they figured out

476
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: that yes, it was stuff that got into the phone

477
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,719
Speaker 1: behind the screen. So what they're going to do is

478
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: they're going to strengthen the durability of the exposed areas

479
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: of the hinge. They're just going to minimize the tiny

480
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: little gap behind the protective layer and the main displace

481
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: that nothing can get in there. I don't know. I

482
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: can't imagine except for the only person I can think

483
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: that's gonna buy this in my head is like I

484
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: just imagine like an eighties business person, like a high

485
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: powered businessman in like Dallas, Texas and like the high

486
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: like office building, right.

487
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 2: Like, this is so specific.

488
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: Well, it's in my mind. It's that. No, it's kind

489
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 1: of like it's in my mind. It's that AMC show

490
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: Catching Halt Fire, Catching What was that? Oh my gosh, Okay,

491
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: now I'm totally off topic. Yeah, Catching hal Fire. That

492
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: was the AMC show. That's that's what I have, Halt

493
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: and Catch Fire. That's what I have in my head

494
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: of the person who's gonna buy this is one of

495
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: the people from that show.

496
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 2: Anyway, I'm going to buy it.

497
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: Okay, let's just have you do another question on Okay.

498
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 3: This next question is from Twitter from Jorge Alvarez. He says,

499
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 3: good morning, Rich. Quick question, if you had to pick

500
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 3: between Ero and Google Wi.

501
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 2: Fi, which would you choose?

502
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 3: I don't know which one to get yet, Thanks as

503
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 3: always for all your awesome advice.

504
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 1: All right, good question is this is you know what

505
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: these things are. These are the whole home Wi Fi networks, right,

506
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: and so they're both great. I think that either one

507
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 1: will do the job in a fantastic way. If you don't,

508
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: if you haven't upgraded your WiFi to the Mesh networking

509
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: system or the Mesh Wi Fi, go ahead and do it.

510
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: You will. Like I say, I pay sixty five dollars

511
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: month for Internet, I get every penny's worth because it

512
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: reaches every corner of my home before, like we all know,

513
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,239
Speaker 1: you're in a one part of your house another part

514
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: of your house and it doesn't work right. So this

515
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: I think, Jorge, either of these will work perfectly in

516
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: your home to give you nice, solid internet everywhere. My

517
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 1: personal choice is Eero. Now. The reason why I liked

518
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: Eero or still my like is like halfway down now

519
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: because they were bought by Amazon and so I'm kind

520
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:30,719
Speaker 1: of like I used to like them when they were

521
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: a startup because their entire job was to create a

522
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: Wi Fi system, right google wi Fi. Google has about

523
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: seventy five thousand other things going on. Google wi Fi

524
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: is just a tiny portion of that. And also Google

525
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: gets very distracted. They start something, they never finish it.

526
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: They start something, they forget about it. They start something,

527
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: they forget to update it. So again, Eero was a

528
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: company that was started just to do this, just to

529
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 1: solve this problem of making great Wi Fi. So that's

530
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: why I love them. Now. Background on that. The original

531
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: mesh wi Fi system I ever purchased was called Luma,

532
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: and the reason I purchased it is because Amazon invested

533
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: like one hundred and twenty million whatever it was. I'm

534
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: maybe twelve million dollars whatever it was. They invested in

535
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: this little startup, and I said, Ah, that's the one

536
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 1: that's going to succeed because they've got Google backing them.

537
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: Well guess what they bought them? Yeah, they Google?

538
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 2: No they oh sorrying.

539
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: Amazon gave them all that money and the company I

540
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: don't even know if it's around anymore. So basically, my

541
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: first inclination did not work. And so now Amazon went

542
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: and bought euro which turned out to be the market leader,

543
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: So hopefully, I'm assuming they're going to do good stuff

544
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: with them. Amazon's got a lot of purchases. They did Ring,

545
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 1: they did Blink, they did Eero. But there's so many

546
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,199
Speaker 1: products right now in the Amazon Electronics portfolio. They need

547
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 1: to kind of unify this stuff very quickly. They have

548
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 1: the cloud Cam, they have a lot of different brands

549
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: that they need to like get together make work. Yeah.

550
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 3: That's interesting though, because you just you basically feel like

551
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 3: it'll get ignored if you were to buy from let's

552
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 3: say Amazon or Google. You'd rather buy from a smaller company.

553
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: H of course, because they know that's their job, like that,

554
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: that's their world.

555
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 2: Exactly, gotcha?

556
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: All right, So this is I'm gonna call this a

557
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: naughty little app because man, this was not nice to me.

558
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 2: Oh wait, I was gonna press the clapping.

559
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: Oh that sounds clapping. H This is a naughty app.

560
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: This is called Ever, and NBC News out with a

561
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: big story that says EVER, which is a This is

562
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: an app that was kind of an alternative to Google Photos.

563
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: Still is. They're still around and the bottom line is

564
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: that they were using all the photos that you uploaded

565
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: to this app to train their facial recognition without really

566
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: you knowing, right, and then they were selling this artificial

567
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: intelligence to private companies, law enforcement, in the military. So

568
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: basically they're using all the faces in your pictures to

569
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: train their AI systems and people had no idea and

570
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: so now, oh yeah, so there's nothing you could really do. Like,

571
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: here's the bottom line. And I've talked about this before

572
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: on the show. If you're getting something for free, clearly

573
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: there is a reason why you don't just get stuff

574
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: for free. In this case, if you're getting a free

575
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: photo service that has unlimited storage just like Google Photos

576
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: or looking at your pictures, they're looking at your picture,

577
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: so they're using your pictures to train stuff. And that's

578
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: what they were doing. Now I'm not saying that for

579
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: Google yah, which although they probably are, but the reality

580
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: is this company was using it to basically profit by

581
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: I mean, how do you get tens of millions of

582
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 1: pictures really fast that you can use to train your system.

583
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: You tell people, hey, upload all your pictures here for free.

584
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: So NBC News kind of reached out, and obviously users

585
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: were very surprised to know that's so much. It is

586
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: kind of sketchy, and so I don't even know where

587
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: to go with this, but the company said that it's

588
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: mentioned in the apps privacy policy. Who reads the privacy

589
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: policy of anything?

590
00:26:58,760 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 3: The terms?

591
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: But again, if you're listening to the rich On to

592
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 1: Have podcast, you rich On Tech podcast, you know that

593
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: I've said this before. If you're getting something for free,

594
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: something's happening in the background. All those apps on your phone,

595
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: what do you how do you think they're surviving? They're

596
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: collecting your data. If they're free, they're collecting your data

597
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: and using it in some way. Now does it mean

598
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: it's bad? Like I mean the fact that your your

599
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: friend's photos were you know, training their facial recognition. It

600
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: doesn't really affect you in life, but it's just kind

601
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: of one of those things where it feels icky, right, Yeah,

602
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: But if.

603
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 3: You get added on Facebook from some random person that

604
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 3: like for some reasons related to this company, like that's

605
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 3: I don't know, that's where my brain goes.

606
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: Okay, I see what you're saying thinking, Yeah, I can

607
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: see that.

608
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's creepy.

609
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: It is creepy. It's just it's just one of those

610
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: things where it doesn't feel right, you know, like you

611
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 1: have to be I think let's put it this way.

612
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: Let me put it this way. Let's say Megan producer, Megan,

613
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 1: you sign up for this app and it's like, hey,

614
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: you can upload all your pictures here. Just fyi, we're

615
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 1: going to use them to train our algorithms to recognize faces.

616
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: Are you cool with that? You'd probably be like, well,

617
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: you'd probably take a second thought, right, Whereas if it

618
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: just says hey, free photo upload, go ahead, you'd be like,

619
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: oh fine, right. So it's one of those things where

620
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: like they know they were doing something wrong because they

621
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: didn't present it to you very clearly, right, yeah.

622
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 3: So and even on like the iPhone, how it like

623
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 3: recognizes faces, that's all like just on your phone.

624
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: Exactly, that's on device, Apple, Exactly, it's on device. And

625
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: that's that's what we heard, by the way at the

626
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: Google event, is Google's trying to do more on device

627
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: because Google's big thing back in the day, it was

628
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: always like we have such great computers that we can

629
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: and they're so fast, and your phone is so powerful

630
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: that we can like send data back and forth really

631
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: quickly and your phone doesn't even have to be that

632
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: powerful and we can still do our magic. Now they're

633
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: kind of taken back from that, they're saying, you know what,

634
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: We're going to try to do more on your phone

635
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: so that less of your data leaves your phone and

636
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: more of it's processed on your phone, which is kind

637
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,479
Speaker 1: of what Apple's been doing for a long time. Yeah,

638
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: so two different approaches. But now Google's kind of coming

639
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: into the approach of like, yeah, we understand people want privacy,

640
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: and so if you feel like your pictures can be

641
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: categorized to trees and beaches and parks and people's faces

642
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: all happening on your device and there's not some database

643
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: of that stuff elsewhere, people feel better about that. Right. Yeah,

644
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: So basically that ever company said that you can opt out.

645
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: There is a way to opt out in the settings,

646
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: and you can also say in your settings that you

647
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: don't want to have your photos used to train models.

648
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: Those options are available to consumers today and have always been.

649
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: That's what they told NBC.

650
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, all right, next next question transition, that's fine, Okay.

651
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 3: Next question is from Instagram from Debbie Cohen. She says,

652
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 3: I need your opinion. I'm currently subscribed to Kaspersky Total

653
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 3: Security for our computers. Is this the best one? My

654
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 3: renewal is approaching and wanted to see if there is

655
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 3: a better company to go with. It's for two desktop

656
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 3: PCs and some laptops too, Mac and pc.

657
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: A Kespersky. I mean that's fine. I mean it's that's

658
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: a lot of people use that. It's for how many things?

659
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: She's just wow, two desktop PCs and laptops mage, Okay,

660
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: she's got a mix of things. Yeah, so I my

661
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: recommendation is probably go at malware Bytes. That's the big

662
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: company that makes this, and people seem to like it.

663
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: Kespercy is fine. I think that I'm I know, I'm

664
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: kind of like use I use something called silance. I

665
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: don't use anything on my phones because I don't believe

666
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: that you need it. Definitely iPhone, you don't need antivirus.

667
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: There's no unless you're really doing something weird with your phone,

668
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: like basically downloading apps outside of the app store on iPhone,

669
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: there's no need.

670
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 2: For dark Well.

671
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: I don't even know if it's maybe I know it

672
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: sounds great, the dark that's the dark Web. But the

673
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: point is that, you know, iPhone, you just don't need antivirus.

674
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: Don't even download it, don't even think about it. Just

675
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: don't Android. I don't think you need it either, honestly,

676
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: And there are things you can do much more on

677
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: your on your Android than you can on iPhone, like

678
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: you can you have access to a lot more of

679
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: your device. But it's still again, unless you're downloading like

680
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: super malware ridden stuff, which like what are you doing exactly,

681
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: you really can't. It's like almost impossible, like unless you're

682
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: you're trying, you're trying. So I think for the average

683
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: person that's just going on normal websites and normal apps

684
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: that they're downloading from Google Play, you really don't need it.

685
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: But with that said, if you want to get it,

686
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: malware bytes very reputable. People really like them. They win

687
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: a lot of accolades, so go with that and you'll

688
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: pay now. Silance, the one that I use, was actually

689
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: purchased by BlackBerry, so I don't know what their future is,

690
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: but we did a story with them a couple of

691
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: years ago and I fell in love because it uses AI.

692
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: So unlike typical virus antivirus software that has this giant

693
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: list of definitions of here's everything we think is a

694
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: is a virus, this one literally just recognizes what files

695
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: are doing on your computer. And when they try to

696
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: do bad things, it will stop them. Oh kind of

697
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: a little cop. Just stop, yo, don't do that. Why

698
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: are you trying to access all riches private stuff? Stop?

699
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to ask you to stop right there.

700
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: It's like a mall cop on your computer. They roll

701
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: up in the little segue. Do we have any Do

702
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: we have any police?

703
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 3: That's that doesn't what happens that doesn't?

704
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh that's not okay, okay, Oh my god. I

705
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: feel like we're literally onlike public access right now with

706
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: like the you know, I just fell on the soundboard.

707
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: Oh that that's crickets. That reminds me.

708
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 2: I've been pressing this the entire fair.

709
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: That's the fairy us.

710
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 3: Oh.

711
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: I love the crickets because it reminds me of that

712
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: ride in Disney.

713
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 3: The next time you make a joke, I'm gonna.

714
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks. It's the ride that what's the one where

715
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: you can eat outside but or it's like in the Yeah,

716
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: that's the best.

717
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 2: That's the best place to make out Disneyland rides and.

718
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: That's the best place to eat. You know that.

719
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 2: I've never eaten there.

720
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: It's like blue buyou, blue buy you. No, you just

721
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: know you're talking about Club thirty three eating. Oh you've eaten.

722
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 2: There, but you haven't.

723
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: You haven't the Underground Okay, I haven't eaten the one

724
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: that opened to public, but you've eaten it. The one

725
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: that's the other one's vip. Okay. So an app that

726
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: I'm in love with right now is called Otter, and

727
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: this is really cool. It's fantastic. If you are ever

728
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: in a meeting and you just want a transcript of

729
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: everything that's being said in the meeting, this app you

730
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: literally just press one button. It records everything and transcribes

731
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: everything that's being said in real time. Not just that,

732
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: it divides up the speakers, so when Megan talks, it'll

733
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: put it under yours. When I talk, it'll put under mind. Yeah.

734
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: And it does it for free, by the way, for free. Yeah,

735
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: so clearly they're taking all your data.

736
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 3: And sorry, but you mentioned I think a similar kind

737
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 3: of app a couple of weeks ago, and that wasn't free.

738
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 2: That was like for recording.

739
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: Oh no, we did mention it. No, we did mention it.

740
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: I've already oh yeah, never mind. Okay, So I guess

741
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: after I mentioned it last week, I started using it more. No,

742
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't it's free. Oh yeah, well it's free up

743
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: to six hundred minutes a month. Okay, So basically I

744
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: took my own advice, so I basically listened to my

745
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: own podcast. That sounds good, Okay, Well anyway, so yeah,

746
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 1: that's totally worthless. So anyway, if you listen to the podcast.

747
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: I already talked about this, but it's called Otter Voice Notes,

748
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: works on Android and iOS, and it's phenomenal. And once

749
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: you link it to your calendar, every time you have

750
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: a meeting in your calendar, it'll be like, do you

751
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: want us to start recording? So from now on, you

752
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,439
Speaker 1: just press that one thing and you've got a list

753
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: of like everything that was said. So I do like

754
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: a lot of briefings for like tech products, and I

755
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: just turned this on. Now, yeah I've done two since

756
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: I started. I do a lot of and I do

757
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: do a lot of briefings, but you've done two but

758
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: since I did this, So anyway, six hundred minutes a

759
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:40,760
Speaker 1: month are totally free.

760
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 2: There you go, Do we have time for one more?

761
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: I think you have one more?

762
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 2: I can?

763
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, go ahead, Okay, be crazy, Okay, can I have

764
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 3: the Okay, So this next question is from Peter Castillanos.

765
00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 3: This he emailed you. It's very simple, but I like it.

766
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 3: Roku or firestick.

767
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 2: That's it.

768
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 1: You're Roku person. You love Roku.

769
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 2: I mean I don't love it.

770
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 3: I just I have a TCL Roku and I just

771
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 3: accept what I know.

772
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: If you have a TCL Roku, you gotta get the

773
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: speakers for the back like I have those. No, yeah,

774
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: because it will change your life. Put the two speakers

775
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: are wireless. You plug them in if you have a

776
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: TCL Roku, it works with them. Doesn't work with a

777
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: regular like Roku box just yet. But if you have

778
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 1: a TCL Roku TV, you plug them in the back

779
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: and boom, your sound is like amazing, so much easier

780
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:37,240
Speaker 1: to hear things.

781
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 3: Right because TV them in the back of the TV.

782
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: No, sorry, you just they plug in the back of

783
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 1: the room. Yeah, they're just wireless, so they once you

784
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: plug them in, they connect to your TV and all

785
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: your sound is piped through them and it sounds a

786
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:48,439
Speaker 1: lot better.

787
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 2: Oh wow.

788
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,919
Speaker 1: So yeah, we did a demo with it, and it's

789
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: just it's kind of a must have. But my pick is,

790
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I'm a hater of Roku. I don't

791
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: know why I don't. I'm such a hater and I

792
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: don't understand why because I used to love Roku. I

793
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: feel like their stuff is Oh God, I'm gonna offend

794
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: so many people here. I just feel like there's not

795
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 1: a premium feel to Roku.

796
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 3: You're reminding me of someone gosh who my sister and

797
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 3: her hatred of Android okay, because she's.

798
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 2: Like, I love Apple well okay, and she.

799
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,720
Speaker 3: Just won't even listen to me try to explain.

800
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: I'm not like that with Roku. Like I'm fine with

801
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: the road. I love what Roku is doing. They have

802
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: a nice platform, they have every app available. It's nice.

803
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: It's just to me, it doesn't have that premium feel

804
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 1: like Apple TV is super premium. Yes, Fire TV it

805
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: really doesn't have that premium feel either, but it's like

806
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: I like it. It's just like it's nice. Too much advertising

807
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: on there, but you know, Roku's biggest business is advertising.

808
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: Like they literally are like a huge advertiser. Somehow they

809
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 1: get all these companies like they get a little bit

810
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: of money, like every time someone like signs up for

811
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: one of their services, you know, like sling. If you

812
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: see like you know how the apps come pre installed. Yeah,

813
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: and then you like activate one. But they get a

814
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: little cut from that. They get a cut from like

815
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: all their free you know shows they're showing. They get

816
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: like ad revenue. So Roku wants just a lot of

817
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: people on there to be watching stuff at all times. Yeah,

818
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: and they don't really care what app you're using. They

819
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: I mean, they'd like you to do their billboard kind

820
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: of yeah. Okay, even don't they even have ads on the.

821
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 3: On the screen, say on screen all the time. But

822
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 3: I just don't even I just go to Hulu or

823
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 3: I go to Netflix.

824
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: Yeah whatever, okay. Yeah, And as as a conduit for

825
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,439
Speaker 1: those things, it's fine. Yeah, I mean, and Roku's great.

826
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: I mean, don't get me wrong, don't send me hate

827
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: mail about Roku. I'm just he asked my preference, right right,

828
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: And so if you're asking my preference, my preference out

829
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: of those is fire TV. I like that platform. I

830
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: don't think it's the best. I actually think Amazon does

831
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 1: a terrible job of showing you, like simple information like

832
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: what are the top movie rentals right now, or what

833
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: are the top movies across all you know, like across

834
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: that you can buy something that I just think is

835
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: so basic. They do a really bad job at But

836
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: I like the remote so basic. It is very basic.

837
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: I like the remote, I like I just like a

838
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 1: lot of little things about the Amazon fire Stick and

839
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: or the fire TV platform. And you know that's just me.

840
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: You asked, Peter asked for my opinion.

841
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,919
Speaker 2: Right, are the prices the same?

842
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: See, that's the thing. The prices are pretty much the same.

843
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,720
Speaker 1: They're they're pretty cheap. You can get a fire stick, yeah,

844
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 1: like you can start at like twenty five dollars. But

845
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: here's okay, this is the reason why I don't like

846
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: Roku as well, because they get people to buy these

847
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: super cheap Roku sticks right like twenty five dollars, and

848
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: they're super underpowered, and I just feel like, you got

849
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: you know, you're you're trying to pump four K video

850
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 1: through these things. It's just not gonna you know, it's

851
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: like it's it's slow when you first get it. You know,

852
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: like it's one of those things where it's like laggy

853
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: and fire. Amazon does the same thing. Their entry level

854
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: Firestick is like unusable to me because it's got like

855
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 1: a super slow processor. You've got to go with the

856
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: four K version and get like a decent one. Right,

857
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 1: So all these companies do the same. They play little

858
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: games with the pricing and they try to get you

859
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 1: to get in on their platform in any way, shape

860
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 1: or form. But again, and if I had to rank them,

861
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: obviously Apple TV is the best. It's the premium and

862
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 1: they're when you see what they're doing next, it's gonna

863
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 1: be even better. And then Fire and then Roku to

864
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: me again, this is rich on Tech. This is not

865
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: you know, everyone the world's opinion. Roku is doing just fine,

866
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: all right. Finally, before we go, website called Eskimo. This

867
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: is really weird. Okay, website called eskimo. Eskimo. I don't know,

868
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: let's see if they have the actual Eskimo what the

869
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 1: website is, but basically you can send a let's see

870
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: how I can know what the actual website is. You

871
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: can send an anonymous email to anyone through this website

872
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: eskimo dot com. Okay, and it's uh, oh weird, esk

873
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: I am oh oh weird. The website is eskiimo dot com,

874
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: but it's called eskimo. But basically it's literally a website

875
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,919
Speaker 1: that you just type in two and then you're from.

876
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: You know, you can say a friend, coworker, family member,

877
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: friend of a friend or someone, and you put your

878
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: message in there, they send it off anonymously. Now this

879
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: does not mean that the website is anonymous, because I

880
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,720
Speaker 1: think Eskimo can see anything that you send. So before

881
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: you get any funny ideas of doing crazy stuff through this,

882
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 1: don't because Eskimo will know. Anyway. I got an email

883
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: from the founder, twenty five year old tech lover and

884
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: creator from Sydney, Australia, and he said he built this

885
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: over the weekend that lets you send emails to that

886
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: special or maybe not that special person. So I think

887
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 1: he came up with it from like a nice standpoint

888
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 1: of like you're in love with someone or you want

889
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: you know, secret admyer kind of thing, right. He said

890
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,879
Speaker 1: the project in just over forty eight hours has had

891
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: over ten thousand eskimos sent. Thanks so anyway, and then

892
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: he says you should see the eskimos being sent. It's

893
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: really something, so I.

894
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 2: Think, oh he's reading it.

895
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, well okay, And at the bottom it says receive

896
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: the best Eskimos of the week every Monday in your inbox.

897
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 1: So I think they are kind of parsing these things.

898
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,720
Speaker 2: So it's like sending out creepy or funny.

899
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, we don't know. We don't know how it's

900
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: being used. Sign. I don't think I would. I mean,

901
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: it's not really something for me too. I mean, if

902
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 1: I was in like high school, I think it'd be

903
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 1: funny to send like an email to your crush, you

904
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like that, that's what comes to mind.

905
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 3: I hope to your friend and make him think he

906
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 3: has well.

907
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: See, that's mean, that's you're much meaner than I am,

908
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,280
Speaker 1: so you thought you immediately went to like the meanest possible.

909
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 2: That's not mean, it's me. It's funny.

910
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: It's funny. What a funny way to end the show.
