WEBVTT - Photo App Uses Your Data to Train AI 0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:06.720 Google shows off new features and a great new phone. 0:00:06.720 --> 0:00:10.639 At Io twenty nineteen, Samsung says the Fold will live, 0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:14.880 the popular photo app that was doing something not so nice, 0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:18.880 and another app I'm currently obsessed with right now. Plus 0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:22.560 your questions. What's going on? I'm Rich Demiro. This is 0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:24.800 Rich on Tech, the podcast where I talk about this 0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:27.080 stuff I think you should know about happening in the 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:31.680 tech world. Plus we answer your tech questions. Joining me 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:33.720 as usual is producer Megan. 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:35.519 Hello, Rich, how are you. 0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:38.559 We've had quite the morning here. We've been testing new equipment. 0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:41.639 It's been pretty intense. 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.440 We've been trying to figure out how to use the 0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:47.199 audio board or new audio board, and also how to 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:48.760 live stream. 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.320 Yeah, it seems like they are mutually exclusive at this 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:53.480 point because we can do the audio board just fine. 0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:55.120 We can take calls, but as soon as we try 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:57.400 to put it into Facebook Live, it just conks out 0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:59.640 on us. So we will go back to the drawing 0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:01.639 board on that. But don't worry about it. We still 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:04.400 have lots of questions, and we actually did a successful 0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:07.240 test earlier today on my Facebook page. But now we're 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:09.280 actually going to get just into the podcast. So I 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:11.960 just got back from Google Io, which is the company's 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:14.960 big developers conference up in Mountain View. By the way, 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:17.600 one of my favorite events of the year because I 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:19.440 love Google. I love what they do, I love their 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:21.840 approach to things. I think they're a really smart company, 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:23.800 and I love just seeing kind of what they're doing 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:26.759 on stage. Now, I'll admit this year was not the 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.240 most exciting year, but they did have a bunch of 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.600 things I think you guys should know about. And I 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:34.440 think the first one is basically the theme that they 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:37.319 always go after is using AI. They just use AI 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.000 to kind of solve every problem in the world, and 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:41.840 these are not necessarily problems, but they're just kind of 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:44.440 fun stuff. So if you know about Google Lens, that's 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:46.880 their product where you can kind of aim your camera 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.880 at things it can identify stuff. Well, now they're using 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:53.200 that in search, so they're bringing augmented reality to search. 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.120 And the example they showed, which is kind of cool, 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:57.200 is let's say you're a kid doing a report on 0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:59.680 a great white shark. You can aim your phone kind 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.160 of in your kitchen and see how big the shark is, 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.800 like super imposed over your kitchen, which is kind of cool. 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:06.800 That's cool, you know, like to get to understand like 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.040 the size of something, like here's what going to use that? Yeah, 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:11.440 that's really fun, or like if you're buying sneakers. You know, 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:15.160 obviously everything with Google has some sort of financial slant eventually, 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:17.880 you know, or hopefully not really they do a lot 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:19.840 of stuff that doesn't make the money, but you know, 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:21.359 if you want a pair of sneakers, you can see 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.320 how they look in your room or with an outfit 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:25.960 or something. So that was kind of interesting too. Little 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.600 fun things with Google lens. You can point your camera 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:32.280 at a restaurant menu and it will highlight the most 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:34.880 popular things on that menu, and then the other one 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:38.280 was what was the other one? It was the restaurant menu, 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:40.520 and it was also the tip at the end, Like 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:43.079 if you get your bill, you aim your lens at 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:44.799 the bill and you can divide up like it gives 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:47.079 you a virtual calculator on the screen. So that was 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.400 kind of cool like that. You can also read things 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:50.840 out loud, so you can, let's say you're in like 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.399 a foreign country and you see a sign, you can 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:55.880 literally aim your phone there and it will read the 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.799 sign out loud in whatever language that you want. So 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.800 that's kind of cool. Then they talked about Google Duplex. 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:03.880 I talked about this on earlier podcasts how I used 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:07.200 it to make a restaurant reservation. Now they're expanding it 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.680 to the web. So let's say the example they shown 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:13.200 they showed was booking a rental car. So you have 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:15.200 to go through all these screens, put in all your information. 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.440 Well with the assistant. It kind of knows when you've 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:19.560 planned your trip because you've already booked your ticket and 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.919 it's in Gmail, so it knows the dates. It knows 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.480 what kind of rental car you like because you're previous 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.720 rental cars, and it basically fills in the web form 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:29.440 for you. And this is not like one of those 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.560 autofill things you've seen with like a password manager or 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:36.040 just like any autofill. This is actually intelligent autofill, where 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.920 it's looking at what it needs to fill in, finding 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.440 that information and placing it there for you and you're 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:44.440 always in control. By the way, the other announcement from 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.320 Google was the Pixel phones, and they came out with 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.600 two phones, the Pixel three A and the Pixel three AXL. 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:52.760 And I will tell you right off the bat, I 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.119 played with these things just a little bit at Google Io, 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.520 and they're forced to be reckoned with Now you're talking 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:02.440 four hundred dollars for one of the best smartphones on 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:05.360 the market. That's incredible, it is, and it has the 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:07.640 best camera, one of the best cameras. Actually, I think 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:09.760 it is the best camera you can get on a smartphone. 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.160 So now you're talking four hundred bucks for a smartphone 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:13.320 camera that's really good. 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:17.760 Better you said best camera on a smartphone. Yeah, better 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:18.320 than iPhone? 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:21.520 Oh yeah, yeah, Okay, Now I wouldn't say in every 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:23.919 single situation, I think the iPhone is a good overall 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:27.640 camera and an excellent overall camera. The Pixel excels at 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.600 taking pictures in a way that like every picture you 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.120 get is like amazing, no matter what it is of 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.360 So anyway, that's kind of like that puts a lot 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:39.080 of pressure on other companies at this point, because you know, 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:40.840 there's a lot of phones out there that are more 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.240 expensive than that. And i'd probably recommend if someone doesn't 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:44.920 care about like the whole phone, like, oh my god, 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:47.560 I need like the fastest processor. The things you don't 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.000 get with the Pixel are the fastest processor. It's like 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:53.080 a processor that's at least a year old. You don't 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:56.320 get water resistance, you don't get wireless charging, you get 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.880 a plastic back instead of like this, you know, pretty 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:04.040 glass phone. But for the average person who literally emails 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:05.760 me all the time saying like, hey, Rich, I just 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.080 want a phone that's really good. It'd be nice if 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.160 hat a good camera, this is like an easy no brainer. 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.400 So all right, Megan, do you have a let me 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:18.000 just try one of these sound effects out here. Okay, okay, 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.040 that's that's your intro music transition. Do you have a 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:21.719 question for us? 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.919 I do, and it's from Twitter. It has to do 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:29.880 with Google. This is from at NJ Neer. I think 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:31.440 he's trying to say engineer. 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:33.920 Oh, which is that's a good one. 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:34.440 Clever. 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:39.720 Rich. Having seen the Pixel three A, would you pick 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.760 the three A or the S ten E if price 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:43.320 was equal? 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:49.119 Wow? Good segue. Megan, do the clapping? Oh, I should 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:52.640 have done the clapping. So that's a great question. So 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:56.280 the the S ten E is kind of Samsung's low 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:59.160 end phone. It's really not a I shouldn't say low end, 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.520 I should say it's their least expensive phone. It's kind 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:04.160 of like the S ten You have the S ten 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.080 plus and then you have the S ten e. I 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:09.919 believe it starts at seven hundred and fifty dollars for 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:13.119 that phone, which now seems like it used to seem 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:14.479 like a little bit of money. Now it seems like 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.560 a crazy amount of money because if you think about it, 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.320 I think that the Pixel three A is a better 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:24.640 value because you're getting a better camera overall the Samsung 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:26.800 S ten e. It's got a fingerprint reader kind of 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:29.000 in I think in a weird place. I think the 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:32.200 Pixel engineer, you go with the Pixel and the S 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.960 ten e is I think that Samsung excels in the 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.400 high end phones, and I wouldn't go for for seven 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:39.359 hundred and fifty bucks. I think you're better served for 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:43.240 four hundred dollars with the smaller phone from Google. And 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.240 they're about the same size. When I say smaller, I 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.440 mean like the you know, the budget model or whatever 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:50.520 you want to call it. But that is that's going 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:51.760 to be the question that a lot of people are 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:55.760 going to wonder because the S ten e was sort 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:57.920 of like the phone that was like the entry level 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:01.520 kind of like the the iPhone ten are those are 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:04.000 kind of like right now the entry level devices, And 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.040 now we've got this pixel at four hundred. That just 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:09.960 kind of messes with everything. You have to rethink everything exactly. 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:14.960 I like it, though, I agree it was definitely necessary, 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:16.760 and I'm glad that Google it took Google to do 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.920 something like that. Speaking of Google, they also announced the 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:23.120 new product at Io called the Nest Hub Max. Now 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:25.240 this I did get some extensive hands on time with, 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:27.800 so I will tell you everything you need to know 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.400 about this. If you're familiar with the Google Home Hub, 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.360 that was a little product they introduced last year that 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:36.200 has the screen and it's also Google Assistant. It's also 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.000 a speaker. It also shows off your pictures that did 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:40.880 not have a camera. It also had a tiny screen, 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:43.520 seven inch screen. It's great, great for the kitchen, great 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:47.600 for like maybe bedside, but probably not. But I mean, 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:49.560 I guess you could put it there. But I'd like 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.200 to remember at CES we saw that little tiny clock, 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:55.040 that Lenovo smart clock, yeah, which never came out on it, 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:57.520 Like they said, spring is spring still here? 0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:58.960 It's so summer? 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:02.360 Okay, thank you? Yeah, So they need to either come 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:04.720 out with that or what that was eighty bucks that 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.560 would be perfect for the bedside. But this one is 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:11.600 the neb the Nest Hub Max. And if you notice 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.480 they've rebranded this to Nest, it's no longer Google Home. 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:18.040 It's now called Nest Hub, so, which is kind of 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:19.800 I don't know, I mean I So the reason why 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.560 they're renaming it Nest is kind of, you know, I 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.120 bring things in line across all their products. And this 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:27.400 has a Nest camera in it, so there is a 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:30.000 security camera in this device, or a camera that could 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.720 be used as a security camera. Plus it could be 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:36.840 used for video chat. It could also recognize you, so 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.640 it does have facial recognition, so when you walk up 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:41.880 to this thing, it gives you your notification. So if 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.440 you share your house with a couple people, only when 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.040 you walk up to it, does it say, oh, here's 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:49.000 what's on your calendar next, just for you. So that's interesting. 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.720 Yeah, what if you're a twin that it would. 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:57.800 Have some problems. Good question, Megan, good question. Okay, So 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.280 the camera is a wide angle camera. It also follows 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:02.080 you around the room, so when you're video chatting, you 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:03.800 can kind of be like cooking or moving around it 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:05.600 follows you, which is kind of cool. And then they 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.440 have this thing called quick gestures, So when you're let's 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.800 say you're playing music with your Google Home Hub. Before 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:12.120 you have to go up to the screen and press 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.520 the pause button. Now you can just look at the 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:16.440 screen and hold your hand up kind of like that. 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:19.120 Talk to the hand motion, and it will pause the 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:22.960 music or start playing it. Yeah, I know, just don't 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.880 talk to the hand. Rich So it's gonna be two 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.079 hundred and twenty nine dollars. They say it's going to 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:32.280 be available this summer. My Intel tells me sometime in July, 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:34.520 so we'll see. 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:36.160 Present. 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:39.000 Yeah. I'm excited for this one because I love that 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.360 it's multifunctional, like you can have this in your living room. 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.880 It acts as a security camera. It also acts as 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.760 a video chat device. And I'll be honest, what I 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.080 think is missing in the home is a way to 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:52.240 video chat easily with people in a fixed way. So 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:56.240 I know you probably use FaceTime with folks. FaceTime is great, 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.040 but the problem with FaceTime is people are moving around 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:01.200 too much and they're always kind of like moving and 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:02.880 sometimes you have to prop your phone up. With this, 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:05.120 it's like the device is there, you can kind of 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:08.000 it's steady, so it's like a much more calm experience 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:12.120 in my for my taste. Like with tablets and stuff, 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:13.839 you're always trying to either prop it up or you're 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:15.800 moving around, and it's just like you want to be 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:19.199 done video chatting to me quicker because it's too much 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.640 movement a laptop. I don't ever video chat on a 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.079 laptop ever, Like I've never I don't think I've ever 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:28.600 done that. Okay, Well you're the new generation, so maybe 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.280 that's maybe that's why are you a millennial? Yeah? Oh 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:31.560 you are. 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:32.560 Yeah, I'm right on the cuss. 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:34.400 I thought you were too young to be millennial, not. 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.000 A gen Z or whatever there. 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.240 Yeah, all right, do you have another question for me? Yes? 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:39.680 I do. 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.920 This is a little different. This is an email from Chris. 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:49.160 He said a while ago, you shared and a vacation 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:51.520 booking app Best Deals in Hotels. 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:52.520 Thank you. 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:58.080 That's it. Yeah, that's the email. Oh is there a question? 0:10:58.160 --> 0:10:59.200 Does you want to know what it is? 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:01.640 What the share? 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:04.200 You shared a vacation booking app. 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:05.400 That's the vacation booking app. 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.160 So I think he's talking about Ernie. Yeah, so that's 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:11.199 what I'm guessing. So I talked about Ernie, but I 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:13.120 feel like I talked about something else. Oh I did 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.160 I talked about the other one too. Okay, so Ernie 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:18.640 E ar and Y this is an app that is 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:20.640 a great app for refunds. Well, it used to be. 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:24.720 They've kind of the service has The service has not changed, 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:26.800 but the retailers have gotten really hip to what they 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:28.600 did and they kind of changed everything. So when I 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:31.120 first signed up with Ernie, my credit card would give 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:34.800 me a refund anytime a price dropped on Amazon. Well, 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:37.520 my credit card basically took that functionality away because so 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:40.120 many people started doing claims. So they're like, oh, never mind, 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:41.960 we don't give you that anymore. So the only reason 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:43.560 they had it on the credit card was when people 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:46.280 didn't use it, which is so dumb. Then when people 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:47.839 started using it, they're like, oh never mind, we're not 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:50.600 going to give you that feature anymore. So Ernie went 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:52.959 and they said, okay, we'll try it through. Anyway. Long 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.480 story short, they still get you refunds, but only if 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:57.440 like the retailer can support it, and if you're there 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:00.080 are certain credit cards that still do it. Mind does not, 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:03.800 so that's the number one. They've added hotels to the mix, 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.000 so if you book a hotel and the price drops, 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.400 they will find you a better price. Now, I'll be honest. 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.280 I did book a couple hotels in the past couple 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.960 months since we did this story. They never even showed 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:16.560 up in my Earni app. So I'm not sure if 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.440 they're not parsing my data correctly or if maybe Hilton 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:23.040 is not part of this. But that's why I book primarily. 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.160 But I've never seen in the app saying like here's 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.000 your Hilton, here's how much you pay two twenty four 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.760 to night, and we're watching that price like that never happened, 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:31.880 so I'm not sure I can't really vouch for how 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.560 good that service is. Got it now. The other app 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:38.240 that I talked about was Google one, and so Google 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:42.080 one is basically if you have Google storage with Google, 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:44.720 you're paying That means you're paying for storage through Google, 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:48.920 Google Drive, something like that. They have a hotel benefit. 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.120 So if you go to one dot Google dot com, 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:55.480 they have special Google one member pricing on hotels. So 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:57.439 there is a link, there's not I don't think there's 0:12:57.480 --> 0:12:59.480 a direct link to get to it, but you tap 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:01.720 that link and next thing you know, you'll be taken 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.840 to a hotel search. And if you if they have 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:08.800 like a deal from Google like a special deal, special rate. 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:10.600 You will see that show up. Now I'm looking in 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:12.319 Los Angeles, I don't see any. So I usually go 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:15.520 to Orlando because that has a lot of hotels and deals. 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:20.000 So let's see. So if I go to Orlando, member price. 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.719 So the Crown Plaza Orlando is normally one hundred and 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.520 one dollars, but Google one members get it for ninety 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:27.520 one dollars, so you're saving ten bucks. 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:29.040 What's the membership? Is it free? 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:32.080 No, it's you have to be paying for storage through Google. 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:35.560 It's so weird. I mean, what a random like side thing, right, 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:38.160 you know, like, oh, I pay for storage on Google Drive, 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:39.839 so I get hotel rates that are better than the 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:42.520 average person. Makes no sense? Yeah, all right, but that 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:45.600 answers this question. So Ernie and also one dot Google 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:49.439 dot com fair member, and you know you've got travel happening. 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.839 Google Maps I love. Do you love Google Maps? Do 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:54.400 you use them? I know your iPhone? You just default. 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:57.040 Well, but I was trying to use Google Maps for 0:13:57.040 --> 0:13:59.960 a while and then to be honest, I prefer Apple Maps. 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.360 Really. I think I prefer the look of Apple Maps. 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:04.760 I think it's like simpler. Yeah, but I like the 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:08.920 functionality of Google Maps better. Well, now Google is bringing 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:14.600 incognito mode to Google Maps. So incognito mode is basically 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.640 a private mode where Google does not track what you're doing. 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:21.000 They introduced it, I believe, on Chrome. Then they brought 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:23.560 it to YouTube, which is handy for my kids because 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:26.640 when they're watching their Disney videos, it doesn't go into 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:29.320 my algorithm of like basically, when my kids started watching 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.120 videos on my phone, all my videos would be changed 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:35.800 to Mickey Mouse and gamers that are doing like walkthroughs 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.160 on games. So it's kind of like that's annoying, you know. 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.840 And now you can pop it in incognito mode. They 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:43.680 can search and do all their stuff and it doesn't 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:45.600 like kind of count towards your account, which is kind 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:47.840 of cool. So now they're doing this with Google Maps, 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:51.840 and once you turn this on, it will not save 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:54.720 the data that you're searching, like any places that you 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:57.760 search for, any places that you route to. And of 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:02.880 course what comes to mind, what like cheating couples basically 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:04.840 oh yeah, like someone's like, oh I don't want to 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.560 you know, let's just make sure I'm going to navigate this. 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:10.880 Does the map turn kind of gray? 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:12.240 It doesn't turn gray. 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:14.480 What happens when you go incogast. 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:17.680 They showed, Yeah, they showed that would. 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:19.640 Be kind of weird, like turned really dark. 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:22.600 They know what did turn dark though, is normally there's 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.720 a blue little icon that lights up on Google Maps 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.600 that did turn gray, so you know, signifying that like 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:30.920 we know your location, but we're not sharing that, we're 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:33.360 not tracking. So anyway, it's interesting. I mean, it's one 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:35.400 of those things that, like, I believe in privacy we 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:37.600 should have with all these things that are tracking us, 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.080 it should be easier to like pause that tracking. But 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.960 of course what comes to mind is like people using 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:45.800 this for like, you know, like to get around you know. 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.600 And your significant on others be able to see you. 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:53.600 Well, it's a whole other topic. We're just talking. We're 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:55.960 just telling that. We're telling you about the technology. We're 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:59.120 not telling you how to use it, right, all right? So, uh, Megan, 0:15:59.160 --> 0:15:59.880 do you have another question? 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:02.600 I have a Actually it's not really your question, it's 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:05.400 more like a statement, but I just wanted. 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:05.680 To include it. 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:06.680 Is this something you wrote? 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:12.440 It's not from me, it's from someone named Tito, and 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:15.680 it's regarding the latest Samsung Galaxy system update. 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:18.880 And he's kind of kind of upset about it. 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:20.000 I smell a rant coming out. 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:21.960 Yeah, pretty much. 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:22.680 Let's hear it. 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:27.640 Hi, Rich, have you experienced the latest Samsung Galaxy system update? 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:29.240 I have an S. 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:33.360 Eight and I absolutely hate the update. I chatted with 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:36.200 someone at Samsung the other day who was of no help. 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.600 Do you have an inside contact to tell them how 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:42.200 much we hate what they did? Can you ask them 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:45.680 to change it back? I lost some features I use religiously, 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:48.920 and the icons look as if they belong on a 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:50.040 Fisher Price phone. 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:56.680 Ugh, that's it. Yeah, do you say like necessarily, Tito? Well, 0:16:56.720 --> 0:17:01.760 what he's talking about is the Samsung one. And I'll 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:03.760 be honest, I've gotten a bunch of emails about this, 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:06.800 because anytime something changes on a phone, people get up 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:09.520 in arms. Right. You get used to how like remember 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:11.800 when like iOS changed. You know, it's like you you 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:14.320 kind of like get used to how something works, and 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:16.640 then it changes and you're like, all of a sudden, ah, 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:18.800 this is really obnoxious, right, Like I knew how to 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:20.600 send a text, or I knew how to get to 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:23.240 this part of the menu, and it all changes. So 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:26.520 I understand where you're coming from, Tito, but it's not 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:29.400 changing back. I'll tell you that they've I've been using 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:31.240 the one UI. I was kind of a beta tester 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:33.720 for like the past year before they launched it like 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:36.000 on all their new phones, And it's kind of one 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:37.560 of those things that like, yeah, it is kind of 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:41.840 candy colored and candy icons and stuff, but it's they're 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:45.080 trying to be simple, they're trying to be a friendlier interface, 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:48.080 and that's what they decided to do. So there's not 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:49.600 much you can do about it. You can't really go 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:51.240 back as far as I know. I mean, you could 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:53.359 probably find the software online, but you don't. You're not 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:53.920 going to do that. 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:55.800 Well, were the features that were lost? 0:17:56.840 --> 0:18:00.120 People have said that there were like certain little weird things, 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.080 Like people have told me they're not able to sign 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:06.520 assign specific ring tones to contacts anymore. That was like 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:08.960 one thing that like someone emailed me about and I 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:10.440 kind of like looked and I looked on my phone 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:11.600 and I was like, oh, yeah, I think they're right, 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:13.199 Like that was something you used to be able to do. 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:15.480 Maybe it's back. Here's the other thing. On a lot 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.359 of these kind of big software updates, it takes them 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:21.679 a while to like figure out. Oh shoot, we forgot 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:24.000 to include that. We need to you know, or that 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:26.120 people kind of liked how that worked and we need 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:29.240 to go back. So and the other thing about being 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:31.840 human that's awesome is that we adapt to a lot 0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:35.400 of stuff. So Tito, I have no worry or no 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:38.199 doubt in my mind that eventually you will get used 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:39.600 to it and you'll kind of forget the way things 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:41.520 used to be. I mean, if you give me like 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:44.040 an old iPhone from like five years ago, you would 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:46.159 not even buil. You'd be like, this is disgusting, Like 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:47.960 I can't even believe people use this. But back in 0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:50.040 the day, we thought it was amazing. So that kind 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:54.640 of happens with tech. Well I'm gonna segue speaking of Samsung, 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:57.359 since you brought up Samsung, I want to do like 0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:00.480 a oh a segue. Well, now that can't be segue, 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:02.119 I have to do there we. 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:04.320 Go, Oh do that okay. 0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:08.640 So Samsung says, actually, this is it is mysterious because 0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:13.280 the Fold wow just blow out everyone's ear drums. So 0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:15.240 the Galaxy Fold, you know, was supposed to launch on 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:18.160 April twenty sixth in the US. It did not because 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:22.679 a bunch of reviewers had problems with little gunk or 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:25.800 something getting into the screen and it disabled the phone. 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:28.000 And this happened to at least I think there was 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:32.040 four reports. Two people pulled off the protective screen, which stupid, 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:34.919 don't do that, like that messed up their phone obviously. 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:38.639 The other two people were legit, like their phone was 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:41.640 messed up because a piece of lint or something got 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:44.800 behind the screen, which should not happen. Right. Yeah, Now, 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:46.800 if you saw the Galaxy fold like I had, I 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:48.800 had the opportunity to go hands on before this thing 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:52.000 was recalled it there was like sort of a gap 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:54.440 because the screen folds, so I can understand how stuff 0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:56.600 can get behind there and really mess it up. So, 0:19:57.040 --> 0:20:01.680 according to the Korea Herald, the phone will launch. The 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:05.119 South Korean tech giant Samsung told them that they're going 0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:07.000 to reach a conclusion in the next couple of days 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:08.840 on when they're going to launch this. So now they 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:11.159 didn't say they didn't say they're going to reach a 0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:13.240 conclusion on the launch date. They said we're going to 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:15.919 reach a conclusion. So does that mean maybe they're not 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:17.800 going to launch it? I don't know. That's what a 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:18.639 lot of the rumors. 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:19.840 Say, right now, what's the headline. 0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:23.960 Well, the headline says Samsung CEO confirms imminent launch of 0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:27.880 Galaxy Fold after fixing flaws. But this can be interpreted 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:29.520 in a couple of ways because the only quote they 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:32.920 have is the company has reviewed the defect caused from 0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:35.520 substances that entered the device, and we will reach a 0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:38.159 conclusion in a couple of days on the launch. That 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:41.480 could go both ways. That could go they're gonna say, okay, 0:20:41.520 --> 0:20:42.919 here's the date, or they can say, you know what, 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:46.000 we're gonna scrap this like failure to launch. Right. 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:48.600 I think last week I said that they're going to 0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:49.080 scrap it. 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:51.040 You think they're going to scrap it now you think now? 0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:54.680 I feel like they're using it to their advance. 0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:58.000 No, there's no advantage here. This is sad. This is 0:20:58.080 --> 0:20:59.920 like really, it's bad for their image. 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:00.840 It's really sad. 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:03.560 And who's gonna buy this? I mean, really, would you 0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:06.680 go into a store and buy this phone after you 0:21:06.760 --> 0:21:08.280 knew all these problems with it? No way? 0:21:08.400 --> 0:21:11.680 Even I was really rich, would I am rich? 0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:14.400 I mean that's my name, you are? And I still 0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:19.600 wouldn't buy it. So they said that they figured out 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:21.960 that yes, it was stuff that got into the phone 0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:23.719 behind the screen. So what they're going to do is 0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:27.320 they're going to strengthen the durability of the exposed areas 0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:29.879 of the hinge. They're just going to minimize the tiny 0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:33.280 little gap behind the protective layer and the main displace 0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:35.680 that nothing can get in there. I don't know. I 0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:38.720 can't imagine except for the only person I can think 0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:41.720 that's gonna buy this in my head is like I 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:44.600 just imagine like an eighties business person, like a high 0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:48.080 powered businessman in like Dallas, Texas and like the high 0:21:48.440 --> 0:21:50.200 like office building, right. 0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:51.679 Like, this is so specific. 0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:54.800 Well, it's in my mind. It's that. No, it's kind 0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:56.919 of like it's in my mind. It's that AMC show 0:21:57.080 --> 0:22:01.359 Catching Halt Fire, Catching What was that? Oh my gosh, Okay, 0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:04.840 now I'm totally off topic. Yeah, Catching hal Fire. That 0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:07.400 was the AMC show. That's that's what I have, Halt 0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:09.680 and Catch Fire. That's what I have in my head 0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:11.240 of the person who's gonna buy this is one of 0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:12.200 the people from that show. 0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:13.560 Anyway, I'm going to buy it. 0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:20.399 Okay, let's just have you do another question on Okay. 0:22:20.440 --> 0:22:27.720 This next question is from Twitter from Jorge Alvarez. He says, 0:22:28.080 --> 0:22:31.040 good morning, Rich. Quick question, if you had to pick 0:22:31.119 --> 0:22:33.120 between Ero and Google Wi. 0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:34.399 Fi, which would you choose? 0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:37.840 I don't know which one to get yet, Thanks as 0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:39.840 always for all your awesome advice. 0:22:40.480 --> 0:22:42.679 All right, good question is this is you know what 0:22:42.680 --> 0:22:45.960 these things are. These are the whole home Wi Fi networks, right, 0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:48.240 and so they're both great. I think that either one 0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:50.880 will do the job in a fantastic way. If you don't, 0:22:50.920 --> 0:22:54.639 if you haven't upgraded your WiFi to the Mesh networking 0:22:54.680 --> 0:22:57.280 system or the Mesh Wi Fi, go ahead and do it. 0:22:57.320 --> 0:22:59.880 You will. Like I say, I pay sixty five dollars 0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:02.840 month for Internet, I get every penny's worth because it 0:23:02.920 --> 0:23:06.320 reaches every corner of my home before, like we all know, 0:23:06.440 --> 0:23:08.239 you're in a one part of your house another part 0:23:08.280 --> 0:23:11.240 of your house and it doesn't work right. So this 0:23:11.440 --> 0:23:15.280 I think, Jorge, either of these will work perfectly in 0:23:15.320 --> 0:23:19.359 your home to give you nice, solid internet everywhere. My 0:23:19.600 --> 0:23:23.439 personal choice is Eero. Now. The reason why I liked 0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:26.680 Eero or still my like is like halfway down now 0:23:26.680 --> 0:23:29.560 because they were bought by Amazon and so I'm kind 0:23:29.560 --> 0:23:30.719 of like I used to like them when they were 0:23:30.720 --> 0:23:34.720 a startup because their entire job was to create a 0:23:34.760 --> 0:23:38.480 Wi Fi system, right google wi Fi. Google has about 0:23:38.640 --> 0:23:41.280 seventy five thousand other things going on. Google wi Fi 0:23:41.359 --> 0:23:43.800 is just a tiny portion of that. And also Google 0:23:43.840 --> 0:23:46.960 gets very distracted. They start something, they never finish it. 0:23:47.080 --> 0:23:49.520 They start something, they forget about it. They start something, 0:23:49.520 --> 0:23:52.639 they forget to update it. So again, Eero was a 0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:54.879 company that was started just to do this, just to 0:23:54.920 --> 0:23:57.159 solve this problem of making great Wi Fi. So that's 0:23:57.200 --> 0:24:01.560 why I love them. Now. Background on that. The original 0:24:01.640 --> 0:24:04.320 mesh wi Fi system I ever purchased was called Luma, 0:24:05.000 --> 0:24:08.760 and the reason I purchased it is because Amazon invested 0:24:08.840 --> 0:24:11.280 like one hundred and twenty million whatever it was. I'm 0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:14.080 maybe twelve million dollars whatever it was. They invested in 0:24:14.119 --> 0:24:16.000 this little startup, and I said, Ah, that's the one 0:24:16.040 --> 0:24:18.640 that's going to succeed because they've got Google backing them. 0:24:18.880 --> 0:24:21.879 Well guess what they bought them? Yeah, they Google? 0:24:22.480 --> 0:24:24.800 No they oh sorrying. 0:24:24.040 --> 0:24:26.399 Amazon gave them all that money and the company I 0:24:26.400 --> 0:24:29.000 don't even know if it's around anymore. So basically, my 0:24:29.080 --> 0:24:33.040 first inclination did not work. And so now Amazon went 0:24:33.080 --> 0:24:35.119 and bought euro which turned out to be the market leader, 0:24:35.640 --> 0:24:38.080 So hopefully, I'm assuming they're going to do good stuff 0:24:38.080 --> 0:24:40.240 with them. Amazon's got a lot of purchases. They did Ring, 0:24:40.640 --> 0:24:44.400 they did Blink, they did Eero. But there's so many 0:24:44.400 --> 0:24:47.199 products right now in the Amazon Electronics portfolio. They need 0:24:47.240 --> 0:24:49.679 to kind of unify this stuff very quickly. They have 0:24:49.720 --> 0:24:51.679 the cloud Cam, they have a lot of different brands 0:24:51.720 --> 0:24:55.080 that they need to like get together make work. Yeah. 0:24:55.080 --> 0:24:57.520 That's interesting though, because you just you basically feel like 0:24:58.560 --> 0:25:02.120 it'll get ignored if you were to buy from let's 0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:05.760 say Amazon or Google. You'd rather buy from a smaller company. 0:25:05.960 --> 0:25:08.000 H of course, because they know that's their job, like that, 0:25:09.040 --> 0:25:09.600 that's their world. 0:25:09.840 --> 0:25:10.960 Exactly, gotcha? 0:25:11.080 --> 0:25:14.399 All right, So this is I'm gonna call this a 0:25:14.480 --> 0:25:18.879 naughty little app because man, this was not nice to me. 0:25:19.560 --> 0:25:22.640 Oh wait, I was gonna press the clapping. 0:25:22.880 --> 0:25:27.080 Oh that sounds clapping. H This is a naughty app. 0:25:27.200 --> 0:25:30.600 This is called Ever, and NBC News out with a 0:25:30.600 --> 0:25:34.280 big story that says EVER, which is a This is 0:25:34.280 --> 0:25:36.800 an app that was kind of an alternative to Google Photos. 0:25:36.920 --> 0:25:41.240 Still is. They're still around and the bottom line is 0:25:41.280 --> 0:25:43.520 that they were using all the photos that you uploaded 0:25:43.520 --> 0:25:47.520 to this app to train their facial recognition without really 0:25:47.560 --> 0:25:50.520 you knowing, right, and then they were selling this artificial 0:25:50.520 --> 0:25:54.040 intelligence to private companies, law enforcement, in the military. So 0:25:54.080 --> 0:25:56.720 basically they're using all the faces in your pictures to 0:25:56.880 --> 0:26:01.359 train their AI systems and people had no idea and 0:26:01.440 --> 0:26:04.520 so now, oh yeah, so there's nothing you could really do. Like, 0:26:04.600 --> 0:26:06.359 here's the bottom line. And I've talked about this before 0:26:06.400 --> 0:26:10.040 on the show. If you're getting something for free, clearly 0:26:10.320 --> 0:26:13.200 there is a reason why you don't just get stuff 0:26:13.200 --> 0:26:15.359 for free. In this case, if you're getting a free 0:26:15.359 --> 0:26:18.560 photo service that has unlimited storage just like Google Photos 0:26:18.920 --> 0:26:20.960 or looking at your pictures, they're looking at your picture, 0:26:21.080 --> 0:26:23.480 so they're using your pictures to train stuff. And that's 0:26:23.480 --> 0:26:24.760 what they were doing. Now I'm not saying that for 0:26:24.800 --> 0:26:28.320 Google yah, which although they probably are, but the reality 0:26:28.440 --> 0:26:33.200 is this company was using it to basically profit by 0:26:33.280 --> 0:26:34.520 I mean, how do you get tens of millions of 0:26:34.560 --> 0:26:36.919 pictures really fast that you can use to train your system. 0:26:37.040 --> 0:26:39.840 You tell people, hey, upload all your pictures here for free. 0:26:40.320 --> 0:26:44.240 So NBC News kind of reached out, and obviously users 0:26:44.240 --> 0:26:47.800 were very surprised to know that's so much. It is 0:26:47.880 --> 0:26:50.560 kind of sketchy, and so I don't even know where 0:26:50.600 --> 0:26:53.960 to go with this, but the company said that it's 0:26:54.040 --> 0:26:57.400 mentioned in the apps privacy policy. Who reads the privacy 0:26:57.400 --> 0:26:58.440 policy of anything? 0:26:58.760 --> 0:26:59.359 The terms? 0:27:00.119 --> 0:27:01.760 But again, if you're listening to the rich On to 0:27:01.840 --> 0:27:04.439 Have podcast, you rich On Tech podcast, you know that 0:27:04.480 --> 0:27:06.760 I've said this before. If you're getting something for free, 0:27:07.200 --> 0:27:10.000 something's happening in the background. All those apps on your phone, 0:27:10.440 --> 0:27:12.280 what do you how do you think they're surviving? They're 0:27:12.280 --> 0:27:14.760 collecting your data. If they're free, they're collecting your data 0:27:14.760 --> 0:27:17.320 and using it in some way. Now does it mean 0:27:17.359 --> 0:27:19.680 it's bad? Like I mean the fact that your your 0:27:19.720 --> 0:27:23.520 friend's photos were you know, training their facial recognition. It 0:27:23.560 --> 0:27:25.359 doesn't really affect you in life, but it's just kind 0:27:25.359 --> 0:27:27.280 of one of those things where it feels icky, right, Yeah, 0:27:27.320 --> 0:27:27.640 But if. 0:27:27.520 --> 0:27:30.359 You get added on Facebook from some random person that 0:27:30.520 --> 0:27:33.440 like for some reasons related to this company, like that's 0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:34.720 I don't know, that's where my brain goes. 0:27:34.760 --> 0:27:37.280 Okay, I see what you're saying thinking, Yeah, I can 0:27:37.760 --> 0:27:38.160 see that. 0:27:38.280 --> 0:27:39.320 Yeah, it's creepy. 0:27:39.359 --> 0:27:41.040 It is creepy. It's just it's just one of those 0:27:41.040 --> 0:27:42.800 things where it doesn't feel right, you know, like you 0:27:42.880 --> 0:27:45.120 have to be I think let's put it this way. 0:27:45.200 --> 0:27:47.879 Let me put it this way. Let's say Megan producer, Megan, 0:27:47.920 --> 0:27:49.640 you sign up for this app and it's like, hey, 0:27:49.680 --> 0:27:51.920 you can upload all your pictures here. Just fyi, we're 0:27:51.920 --> 0:27:55.439 going to use them to train our algorithms to recognize faces. 0:27:55.480 --> 0:27:57.560 Are you cool with that? You'd probably be like, well, 0:27:57.560 --> 0:28:00.800 you'd probably take a second thought, right, Whereas if it 0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:04.359 just says hey, free photo upload, go ahead, you'd be like, 0:28:04.400 --> 0:28:07.080 oh fine, right. So it's one of those things where 0:28:07.080 --> 0:28:08.840 like they know they were doing something wrong because they 0:28:08.840 --> 0:28:10.920 didn't present it to you very clearly, right, yeah. 0:28:11.280 --> 0:28:14.800 So and even on like the iPhone, how it like 0:28:14.880 --> 0:28:18.360 recognizes faces, that's all like just on your phone. 0:28:18.080 --> 0:28:21.720 Exactly, that's on device, Apple, Exactly, it's on device. And 0:28:21.840 --> 0:28:24.240 that's that's what we heard, by the way at the 0:28:24.640 --> 0:28:27.359 Google event, is Google's trying to do more on device 0:28:27.400 --> 0:28:29.119 because Google's big thing back in the day, it was 0:28:29.160 --> 0:28:31.840 always like we have such great computers that we can 0:28:31.880 --> 0:28:34.480 and they're so fast, and your phone is so powerful 0:28:34.720 --> 0:28:37.080 that we can like send data back and forth really 0:28:37.119 --> 0:28:39.120 quickly and your phone doesn't even have to be that 0:28:39.200 --> 0:28:41.760 powerful and we can still do our magic. Now they're 0:28:41.800 --> 0:28:43.480 kind of taken back from that, they're saying, you know what, 0:28:43.480 --> 0:28:44.960 We're going to try to do more on your phone 0:28:45.240 --> 0:28:47.680 so that less of your data leaves your phone and 0:28:47.720 --> 0:28:49.440 more of it's processed on your phone, which is kind 0:28:49.440 --> 0:28:51.479 of what Apple's been doing for a long time. Yeah, 0:28:51.520 --> 0:28:54.400 so two different approaches. But now Google's kind of coming 0:28:54.440 --> 0:28:57.280 into the approach of like, yeah, we understand people want privacy, 0:28:57.720 --> 0:28:59.360 and so if you feel like your pictures can be 0:28:59.360 --> 0:29:03.800 categorized to trees and beaches and parks and people's faces 0:29:04.200 --> 0:29:06.400 all happening on your device and there's not some database 0:29:06.400 --> 0:29:10.440 of that stuff elsewhere, people feel better about that. Right. Yeah, 0:29:10.600 --> 0:29:14.760 So basically that ever company said that you can opt out. 0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:16.880 There is a way to opt out in the settings, 0:29:17.600 --> 0:29:19.960 and you can also say in your settings that you 0:29:20.000 --> 0:29:22.200 don't want to have your photos used to train models. 0:29:22.480 --> 0:29:25.240 Those options are available to consumers today and have always been. 0:29:25.400 --> 0:29:26.360 That's what they told NBC. 0:29:27.040 --> 0:29:33.840 Okay, all right, all right, next next question transition, that's fine, Okay. 0:29:34.200 --> 0:29:39.560 Next question is from Instagram from Debbie Cohen. She says, 0:29:39.840 --> 0:29:45.720 I need your opinion. I'm currently subscribed to Kaspersky Total 0:29:45.760 --> 0:29:48.760 Security for our computers. Is this the best one? My 0:29:48.880 --> 0:29:51.480 renewal is approaching and wanted to see if there is 0:29:51.520 --> 0:29:54.760 a better company to go with. It's for two desktop 0:29:54.880 --> 0:29:58.800 PCs and some laptops too, Mac and pc. 0:30:00.960 --> 0:30:03.720 A Kespersky. I mean that's fine. I mean it's that's 0:30:03.800 --> 0:30:06.120 a lot of people use that. It's for how many things? 0:30:06.120 --> 0:30:08.600 She's just wow, two desktop PCs and laptops mage, Okay, 0:30:08.640 --> 0:30:11.000 she's got a mix of things. Yeah, so I my 0:30:11.120 --> 0:30:13.800 recommendation is probably go at malware Bytes. That's the big 0:30:13.840 --> 0:30:16.040 company that makes this, and people seem to like it. 0:30:16.760 --> 0:30:21.040 Kespercy is fine. I think that I'm I know, I'm 0:30:21.080 --> 0:30:24.320 kind of like use I use something called silance. I 0:30:24.320 --> 0:30:26.360 don't use anything on my phones because I don't believe 0:30:26.400 --> 0:30:28.560 that you need it. Definitely iPhone, you don't need antivirus. 0:30:28.600 --> 0:30:32.680 There's no unless you're really doing something weird with your phone, 0:30:32.960 --> 0:30:36.640 like basically downloading apps outside of the app store on iPhone, 0:30:36.920 --> 0:30:38.240 there's no need. 0:30:38.040 --> 0:30:39.800 For dark Well. 0:30:40.160 --> 0:30:42.080 I don't even know if it's maybe I know it 0:30:42.160 --> 0:30:47.920 sounds great, the dark that's the dark Web. But the 0:30:48.000 --> 0:30:50.440 point is that, you know, iPhone, you just don't need antivirus. 0:30:50.440 --> 0:30:52.200 Don't even download it, don't even think about it. Just 0:30:52.240 --> 0:30:55.320 don't Android. I don't think you need it either, honestly, 0:30:55.840 --> 0:30:58.560 And there are things you can do much more on 0:30:58.600 --> 0:31:00.560 your on your Android than you can on iPhone, like 0:31:00.600 --> 0:31:02.280 you can you have access to a lot more of 0:31:02.280 --> 0:31:05.880 your device. But it's still again, unless you're downloading like 0:31:06.160 --> 0:31:10.120 super malware ridden stuff, which like what are you doing exactly, 0:31:10.240 --> 0:31:12.800 you really can't. It's like almost impossible, like unless you're 0:31:13.000 --> 0:31:16.240 you're trying, you're trying. So I think for the average 0:31:16.280 --> 0:31:19.000 person that's just going on normal websites and normal apps 0:31:19.000 --> 0:31:20.920 that they're downloading from Google Play, you really don't need it. 0:31:20.960 --> 0:31:22.800 But with that said, if you want to get it, 0:31:23.640 --> 0:31:26.520 malware bytes very reputable. People really like them. They win 0:31:26.560 --> 0:31:29.600 a lot of accolades, so go with that and you'll 0:31:29.640 --> 0:31:31.640 pay now. Silance, the one that I use, was actually 0:31:31.640 --> 0:31:34.240 purchased by BlackBerry, so I don't know what their future is, 0:31:34.280 --> 0:31:35.680 but we did a story with them a couple of 0:31:35.760 --> 0:31:38.040 years ago and I fell in love because it uses AI. 0:31:39.000 --> 0:31:43.680 So unlike typical virus antivirus software that has this giant 0:31:43.720 --> 0:31:46.160 list of definitions of here's everything we think is a 0:31:46.520 --> 0:31:49.600 is a virus, this one literally just recognizes what files 0:31:49.640 --> 0:31:51.200 are doing on your computer. And when they try to 0:31:51.240 --> 0:31:53.320 do bad things, it will stop them. Oh kind of 0:31:53.360 --> 0:31:58.320 a little cop. Just stop, yo, don't do that. Why 0:31:58.320 --> 0:32:00.440 are you trying to access all riches private stuff? Stop? 0:32:00.480 --> 0:32:02.040 I'm gonna have to ask you to stop right there. 0:32:02.200 --> 0:32:05.040 It's like a mall cop on your computer. They roll 0:32:05.120 --> 0:32:08.200 up in the little segue. Do we have any Do 0:32:08.200 --> 0:32:08.840 we have any police? 0:32:10.320 --> 0:32:14.560 That's that doesn't what happens that doesn't? 0:32:14.680 --> 0:32:18.920 Yeah, oh that's not okay, okay, Oh my god. I 0:32:18.920 --> 0:32:21.920 feel like we're literally onlike public access right now with 0:32:21.960 --> 0:32:24.080 like the you know, I just fell on the soundboard. 0:32:26.480 --> 0:32:29.120 Oh that that's crickets. That reminds me. 0:32:29.480 --> 0:32:32.800 I've been pressing this the entire fair. 0:32:33.000 --> 0:32:33.840 That's the fairy us. 0:32:34.120 --> 0:32:34.280 Oh. 0:32:34.320 --> 0:32:36.000 I love the crickets because it reminds me of that 0:32:36.120 --> 0:32:36.920 ride in Disney. 0:32:37.080 --> 0:32:40.080 The next time you make a joke, I'm gonna. 0:32:39.800 --> 0:32:43.640 Yeah, thanks. It's the ride that what's the one where 0:32:43.640 --> 0:32:47.400 you can eat outside but or it's like in the Yeah, 0:32:47.560 --> 0:32:48.240 that's the best. 0:32:48.320 --> 0:32:50.320 That's the best place to make out Disneyland rides and. 0:32:50.760 --> 0:32:52.680 That's the best place to eat. You know that. 0:32:53.280 --> 0:32:54.280 I've never eaten there. 0:32:55.160 --> 0:32:58.080 It's like blue buyou, blue buy you. No, you just 0:32:58.120 --> 0:33:01.560 know you're talking about Club thirty three eating. Oh you've eaten. 0:33:01.400 --> 0:33:02.560 There, but you haven't. 0:33:03.160 --> 0:33:05.520 You haven't the Underground Okay, I haven't eaten the one 0:33:05.560 --> 0:33:07.320 that opened to public, but you've eaten it. The one 0:33:07.360 --> 0:33:11.360 that's the other one's vip. Okay. So an app that 0:33:11.400 --> 0:33:13.680 I'm in love with right now is called Otter, and 0:33:13.720 --> 0:33:17.240 this is really cool. It's fantastic. If you are ever 0:33:17.320 --> 0:33:20.120 in a meeting and you just want a transcript of 0:33:20.160 --> 0:33:22.600 everything that's being said in the meeting, this app you 0:33:22.680 --> 0:33:26.280 literally just press one button. It records everything and transcribes 0:33:26.280 --> 0:33:28.400 everything that's being said in real time. Not just that, 0:33:28.800 --> 0:33:31.760 it divides up the speakers, so when Megan talks, it'll 0:33:31.760 --> 0:33:35.240 put it under yours. When I talk, it'll put under mind. Yeah. 0:33:35.280 --> 0:33:38.280 And it does it for free, by the way, for free. Yeah, 0:33:38.560 --> 0:33:40.440 so clearly they're taking all your data. 0:33:40.480 --> 0:33:43.480 And sorry, but you mentioned I think a similar kind 0:33:43.560 --> 0:33:45.880 of app a couple of weeks ago, and that wasn't free. 0:33:45.960 --> 0:33:47.280 That was like for recording. 0:33:47.640 --> 0:33:50.600 Oh no, we did mention it. No, we did mention it. 0:33:50.720 --> 0:33:53.160 I've already oh yeah, never mind. Okay, So I guess 0:33:53.200 --> 0:33:56.160 after I mentioned it last week, I started using it more. No, 0:33:56.240 --> 0:33:58.520 it wasn't it's free. Oh yeah, well it's free up 0:33:58.520 --> 0:34:01.600 to six hundred minutes a month. Okay, So basically I 0:34:01.640 --> 0:34:05.120 took my own advice, so I basically listened to my 0:34:05.120 --> 0:34:08.600 own podcast. That sounds good, Okay, Well anyway, so yeah, 0:34:08.600 --> 0:34:10.840 that's totally worthless. So anyway, if you listen to the podcast. 0:34:10.880 --> 0:34:13.040 I already talked about this, but it's called Otter Voice Notes, 0:34:13.280 --> 0:34:16.319 works on Android and iOS, and it's phenomenal. And once 0:34:16.360 --> 0:34:18.080 you link it to your calendar, every time you have 0:34:18.120 --> 0:34:19.520 a meeting in your calendar, it'll be like, do you 0:34:19.560 --> 0:34:22.719 want us to start recording? So from now on, you 0:34:22.840 --> 0:34:24.439 just press that one thing and you've got a list 0:34:24.440 --> 0:34:26.160 of like everything that was said. So I do like 0:34:26.160 --> 0:34:27.960 a lot of briefings for like tech products, and I 0:34:28.040 --> 0:34:30.719 just turned this on. Now, yeah I've done two since 0:34:30.760 --> 0:34:33.200 I started. I do a lot of and I do 0:34:33.280 --> 0:34:35.719 do a lot of briefings, but you've done two but 0:34:36.080 --> 0:34:39.560 since I did this, So anyway, six hundred minutes a 0:34:39.600 --> 0:34:40.760 month are totally free. 0:34:41.719 --> 0:34:44.960 There you go, Do we have time for one more? 0:34:45.000 --> 0:34:45.759 I think you have one more? 0:34:45.840 --> 0:34:46.160 I can? 0:34:46.320 --> 0:34:49.759 Yeah, go ahead, Okay, be crazy, Okay, can I have 0:34:50.000 --> 0:34:56.160 the Okay, So this next question is from Peter Castillanos. 0:34:56.480 --> 0:35:01.200 This he emailed you. It's very simple, but I like it. 0:35:01.480 --> 0:35:03.359 Roku or firestick. 0:35:04.320 --> 0:35:04.600 That's it. 0:35:05.800 --> 0:35:09.360 You're Roku person. You love Roku. 0:35:10.000 --> 0:35:10.960 I mean I don't love it. 0:35:11.000 --> 0:35:13.120 I just I have a TCL Roku and I just 0:35:13.239 --> 0:35:14.600 accept what I know. 0:35:14.680 --> 0:35:16.279 If you have a TCL Roku, you gotta get the 0:35:16.320 --> 0:35:19.960 speakers for the back like I have those. No, yeah, 0:35:20.000 --> 0:35:22.640 because it will change your life. Put the two speakers 0:35:22.680 --> 0:35:24.560 are wireless. You plug them in if you have a 0:35:24.600 --> 0:35:26.560 TCL Roku, it works with them. Doesn't work with a 0:35:26.600 --> 0:35:29.560 regular like Roku box just yet. But if you have 0:35:29.560 --> 0:35:32.319 a TCL Roku TV, you plug them in the back 0:35:32.440 --> 0:35:36.480 and boom, your sound is like amazing, so much easier 0:35:36.520 --> 0:35:37.240 to hear things. 0:35:37.120 --> 0:35:39.080 Right because TV them in the back of the TV. 0:35:39.239 --> 0:35:41.600 No, sorry, you just they plug in the back of 0:35:41.600 --> 0:35:44.360 the room. Yeah, they're just wireless, so they once you 0:35:44.360 --> 0:35:46.160 plug them in, they connect to your TV and all 0:35:46.160 --> 0:35:47.960 your sound is piped through them and it sounds a 0:35:48.000 --> 0:35:48.439 lot better. 0:35:48.560 --> 0:35:49.040 Oh wow. 0:35:49.040 --> 0:35:50.919 So yeah, we did a demo with it, and it's 0:35:51.000 --> 0:35:54.239 just it's kind of a must have. But my pick is, 0:35:55.160 --> 0:35:57.719 here's the thing. I'm a hater of Roku. I don't 0:35:57.719 --> 0:36:00.319 know why I don't. I'm such a hater and I 0:36:00.320 --> 0:36:03.120 don't understand why because I used to love Roku. I 0:36:03.280 --> 0:36:07.120 feel like their stuff is Oh God, I'm gonna offend 0:36:07.160 --> 0:36:09.080 so many people here. I just feel like there's not 0:36:09.120 --> 0:36:10.320 a premium feel to Roku. 0:36:10.400 --> 0:36:14.440 You're reminding me of someone gosh who my sister and 0:36:14.480 --> 0:36:17.200 her hatred of Android okay, because she's. 0:36:17.040 --> 0:36:19.839 Like, I love Apple well okay, and she. 0:36:19.840 --> 0:36:21.720 Just won't even listen to me try to explain. 0:36:22.000 --> 0:36:24.120 I'm not like that with Roku. Like I'm fine with 0:36:24.160 --> 0:36:25.960 the road. I love what Roku is doing. They have 0:36:26.040 --> 0:36:28.719 a nice platform, they have every app available. It's nice. 0:36:28.760 --> 0:36:31.239 It's just to me, it doesn't have that premium feel 0:36:31.280 --> 0:36:34.839 like Apple TV is super premium. Yes, Fire TV it 0:36:34.880 --> 0:36:36.799 really doesn't have that premium feel either, but it's like 0:36:36.800 --> 0:36:39.759 I like it. It's just like it's nice. Too much advertising 0:36:39.800 --> 0:36:42.640 on there, but you know, Roku's biggest business is advertising. 0:36:42.800 --> 0:36:46.080 Like they literally are like a huge advertiser. Somehow they 0:36:46.080 --> 0:36:47.839 get all these companies like they get a little bit 0:36:47.880 --> 0:36:49.799 of money, like every time someone like signs up for 0:36:49.840 --> 0:36:51.920 one of their services, you know, like sling. If you 0:36:51.960 --> 0:36:54.160 see like you know how the apps come pre installed. Yeah, 0:36:54.200 --> 0:36:55.840 and then you like activate one. But they get a 0:36:55.880 --> 0:36:57.799 little cut from that. They get a cut from like 0:36:57.800 --> 0:37:00.000 all their free you know shows they're showing. They get 0:37:00.040 --> 0:37:03.120 like ad revenue. So Roku wants just a lot of 0:37:03.160 --> 0:37:07.640 people on there to be watching stuff at all times. Yeah, 0:37:07.640 --> 0:37:09.920 and they don't really care what app you're using. They 0:37:10.040 --> 0:37:12.719 I mean, they'd like you to do their billboard kind 0:37:12.719 --> 0:37:15.719 of yeah. Okay, even don't they even have ads on the. 0:37:15.680 --> 0:37:19.480 On the screen, say on screen all the time. But 0:37:19.560 --> 0:37:22.799 I just don't even I just go to Hulu or 0:37:22.840 --> 0:37:23.680 I go to Netflix. 0:37:23.760 --> 0:37:26.279 Yeah whatever, okay. Yeah, And as as a conduit for 0:37:26.280 --> 0:37:28.439 those things, it's fine. Yeah, I mean, and Roku's great. 0:37:28.440 --> 0:37:29.920 I mean, don't get me wrong, don't send me hate 0:37:29.960 --> 0:37:32.960 mail about Roku. I'm just he asked my preference, right right, 0:37:33.160 --> 0:37:35.480 And so if you're asking my preference, my preference out 0:37:35.480 --> 0:37:39.480 of those is fire TV. I like that platform. I 0:37:39.520 --> 0:37:42.200 don't think it's the best. I actually think Amazon does 0:37:42.239 --> 0:37:47.319 a terrible job of showing you, like simple information like 0:37:47.600 --> 0:37:49.560 what are the top movie rentals right now, or what 0:37:49.560 --> 0:37:52.400 are the top movies across all you know, like across 0:37:52.440 --> 0:37:54.799 that you can buy something that I just think is 0:37:54.840 --> 0:37:56.759 so basic. They do a really bad job at But 0:37:57.200 --> 0:38:00.000 I like the remote so basic. It is very basic. 0:38:00.480 --> 0:38:02.319 I like the remote, I like I just like a 0:38:02.360 --> 0:38:04.839 lot of little things about the Amazon fire Stick and 0:38:05.040 --> 0:38:08.120 or the fire TV platform. And you know that's just me. 0:38:08.200 --> 0:38:10.640 You asked, Peter asked for my opinion. 0:38:10.760 --> 0:38:12.919 Right, are the prices the same? 0:38:13.520 --> 0:38:16.080 See, that's the thing. The prices are pretty much the same. 0:38:16.080 --> 0:38:18.720 They're they're pretty cheap. You can get a fire stick, yeah, 0:38:18.760 --> 0:38:20.840 like you can start at like twenty five dollars. But 0:38:20.880 --> 0:38:22.759 here's okay, this is the reason why I don't like 0:38:23.080 --> 0:38:26.160 Roku as well, because they get people to buy these 0:38:26.239 --> 0:38:29.560 super cheap Roku sticks right like twenty five dollars, and 0:38:29.600 --> 0:38:32.480 they're super underpowered, and I just feel like, you got 0:38:32.640 --> 0:38:34.960 you know, you're you're trying to pump four K video 0:38:35.000 --> 0:38:36.839 through these things. It's just not gonna you know, it's 0:38:36.880 --> 0:38:39.200 like it's it's slow when you first get it. You know, 0:38:39.719 --> 0:38:41.600 like it's one of those things where it's like laggy 0:38:42.080 --> 0:38:44.520 and fire. Amazon does the same thing. Their entry level 0:38:44.520 --> 0:38:47.480 Firestick is like unusable to me because it's got like 0:38:47.480 --> 0:38:49.279 a super slow processor. You've got to go with the 0:38:49.280 --> 0:38:51.640 four K version and get like a decent one. Right, 0:38:52.000 --> 0:38:54.359 So all these companies do the same. They play little 0:38:54.360 --> 0:38:55.960 games with the pricing and they try to get you 0:38:56.040 --> 0:38:58.840 to get in on their platform in any way, shape 0:38:58.880 --> 0:39:01.839 or form. But again, and if I had to rank them, 0:39:02.200 --> 0:39:05.319 obviously Apple TV is the best. It's the premium and 0:39:05.360 --> 0:39:07.719 they're when you see what they're doing next, it's gonna 0:39:07.719 --> 0:39:10.880 be even better. And then Fire and then Roku to 0:39:11.040 --> 0:39:13.759 me again, this is rich on Tech. This is not 0:39:14.000 --> 0:39:18.759 you know, everyone the world's opinion. Roku is doing just fine, 0:39:18.880 --> 0:39:22.600 all right. Finally, before we go, website called Eskimo. This 0:39:22.719 --> 0:39:28.440 is really weird. Okay, website called eskimo. Eskimo. I don't know, 0:39:28.520 --> 0:39:31.200 let's see if they have the actual Eskimo what the 0:39:31.239 --> 0:39:36.359 website is, but basically you can send a let's see 0:39:36.360 --> 0:39:38.200 how I can know what the actual website is. You 0:39:38.200 --> 0:39:41.680 can send an anonymous email to anyone through this website 0:39:41.760 --> 0:39:46.920 eskimo dot com. Okay, and it's uh, oh weird, esk 0:39:47.880 --> 0:39:52.480 I am oh oh weird. The website is eskiimo dot com, 0:39:52.480 --> 0:39:56.000 but it's called eskimo. But basically it's literally a website 0:39:56.080 --> 0:39:58.919 that you just type in two and then you're from. 0:39:59.360 --> 0:40:01.520 You know, you can say a friend, coworker, family member, 0:40:01.600 --> 0:40:04.120 friend of a friend or someone, and you put your 0:40:04.120 --> 0:40:06.680 message in there, they send it off anonymously. Now this 0:40:06.800 --> 0:40:09.960 does not mean that the website is anonymous, because I 0:40:10.000 --> 0:40:12.720 think Eskimo can see anything that you send. So before 0:40:12.719 --> 0:40:15.239 you get any funny ideas of doing crazy stuff through this, 0:40:15.800 --> 0:40:18.840 don't because Eskimo will know. Anyway. I got an email 0:40:18.880 --> 0:40:21.360 from the founder, twenty five year old tech lover and 0:40:21.400 --> 0:40:25.520 creator from Sydney, Australia, and he said he built this 0:40:25.600 --> 0:40:28.040 over the weekend that lets you send emails to that 0:40:28.120 --> 0:40:31.040 special or maybe not that special person. So I think 0:40:31.040 --> 0:40:32.800 he came up with it from like a nice standpoint 0:40:32.840 --> 0:40:34.359 of like you're in love with someone or you want 0:40:34.360 --> 0:40:37.440 you know, secret admyer kind of thing, right. He said 0:40:37.480 --> 0:40:39.879 the project in just over forty eight hours has had 0:40:39.920 --> 0:40:44.279 over ten thousand eskimos sent. Thanks so anyway, and then 0:40:44.320 --> 0:40:46.480 he says you should see the eskimos being sent. It's 0:40:46.520 --> 0:40:47.600 really something, so I. 0:40:47.560 --> 0:40:48.960 Think, oh he's reading it. 0:40:49.040 --> 0:40:51.360 Yeah, well okay, And at the bottom it says receive 0:40:51.440 --> 0:40:54.239 the best Eskimos of the week every Monday in your inbox. 0:40:54.760 --> 0:40:56.880 So I think they are kind of parsing these things. 0:40:57.000 --> 0:41:00.720 So it's like sending out creepy or funny. 0:41:00.960 --> 0:41:02.560 Okay, yeah, we don't know. We don't know how it's 0:41:02.560 --> 0:41:05.759 being used. Sign. I don't think I would. I mean, 0:41:05.800 --> 0:41:08.400 it's not really something for me too. I mean, if 0:41:08.400 --> 0:41:10.320 I was in like high school, I think it'd be 0:41:10.320 --> 0:41:12.360 funny to send like an email to your crush, you 0:41:12.400 --> 0:41:14.160 know what I mean? Like that, that's what comes to mind. 0:41:14.160 --> 0:41:15.840 I hope to your friend and make him think he 0:41:15.920 --> 0:41:16.719 has well. 0:41:16.760 --> 0:41:19.759 See, that's mean, that's you're much meaner than I am, 0:41:19.840 --> 0:41:23.280 so you thought you immediately went to like the meanest possible. 0:41:23.400 --> 0:41:26.520 That's not mean, it's me. It's funny. 0:41:26.560 --> 0:41:29.040 It's funny. What a funny way to end the show. 0:41:29.520 --> 0:41:31.319 That's going to do it for the show today.
