1 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 1: Apple sets a time and date for its next big event, 2 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: The new way to secure your Zoom account, fake Amazon reviews, 3 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: plus your tech questions answered. 4 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 2: What's going on? 5 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,439 Speaker 1: I'm Rich Dmiro and this is Rich on Tech, the 6 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: podcast where I talk about the tech stuff I think 7 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: you should know about. It's also the place right answer 8 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: the questions that you send me What's going on? My 9 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 1: name is Rich Demiro, tech reporter at KTLA Channel five 10 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. Welcome, Welcome, Welcome. How's it going working 11 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: and schooling from home? I have been working from home. 12 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: I can't believe that it is now September? Can you September? 13 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: Where did the time go? I remember going out for 14 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: Memorial Day weekend, like thinking that was the first kind 15 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: of kickoff to the summer. And here we are past 16 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: Labor Day, Summer's over, and we are into the thick 17 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: of school, into work, into just everything, and we've gotten 18 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: used to working from home. I kind of enjoy it 19 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 1: at this point, and I think that there are some 20 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: advantages to it. 21 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 2: There's some disadvantages. 22 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 1: But everyone's sleeping longer except me since I still wake 23 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: up pretty early for the news. But my wife and 24 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: kids are sleeping longer. Because they don't have a commute anymore. 25 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: There's no rush to get in the shower and get 26 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: dressed and get on the commute to work in school. 27 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: So now everyone just kind of rolls out of bed, 28 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: they have some breakfast, they watch some TV, and then 29 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: it's the reality of work. And here in Los Angeles, 30 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: last week, man, it was hot. Whoa, it was really 31 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: really hot last week. And now we've got some fires 32 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: going on in California. I think that's an understatement. So 33 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: these are some interesting times for me. It is getting 34 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: into the thick of gadget season. We've got so many 35 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: new gadgets coming out in the next couple of months. 36 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: We just got through all of Samsung's stuff, and now 37 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: we are going to get into all of Apple stuff 38 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: and maybe even some of Google stuff and Microsoft stuff 39 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: and Sony stuff. So it is a time for gadgets. 40 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: Right before the holidays, this is when everything is announced. 41 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: And sadly, I am sending back my Note twenty Ultra 42 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: today along with a Z flip but I or Z 43 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: fold but I didn't really think I would use that phone. 44 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: But no, twenty Ultra, I have to say, still one 45 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: of my favorite phones. 46 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 2: So if you are. 47 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: Thinking of making the switch to a Samsung device or 48 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: the Note device. The Note twenty Ultra was one of 49 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: my favorite phones I have tested in the past five years, 50 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: i'd say. And so with that said, the biggest problem 51 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: I had with the Note twenty Ultra was the size, 52 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: and the thing that I wanted was a smaller version, 53 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: and I kind of contemplated. In fact, let me see, 54 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: it was actually on sale on Amazon for uh. I 55 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: had it in my let's see my browsing history. I 56 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: had the Note twenty, the regular version, in my browsing 57 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: in my Amazon cart for a moment. Ah, the price 58 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: went back up again. 59 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 2: Darn it. 60 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: Oh wait, wait wait, maybe it didn't hold on. Nope, 61 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: it's still two hundred dollars off the Note twenty, not 62 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: the big one, not the Ultra, but the regular Note 63 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: twenty is eight hundred bucks, which is still expensive. But 64 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: you just don't get a couple of things that I 65 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: want on there. But anyway, I will be happy my 66 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: iPhone is right here. It's not as exciting as some 67 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: of the Samsung devices that I've been testing, but it 68 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: still works and for social media. You know, I've talked 69 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: about this, It's still better let's get into the first 70 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: big story of the podcast. Apple officially announces it's September 71 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: fifteenth event. This was really funny because, so here's what happened. 72 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: Everyone was waiting because there's a big rumor that they 73 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: would announce this event on Tuesday, September eighth. 74 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 2: I think it was Yes, that is correct, And so. 75 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: All the people are just sitting there refreshing Apple's website refresh, refresh, refresh, 76 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: looking at their email refresh, refreshed, waiting for this invite. 77 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: As journalists that we get well. Apple did something kind 78 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: of funny this year. They put the information on their 79 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: website first, and then they waited a little bit, and 80 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: then they sent out the invitation. 81 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 2: So we got two different stories. 82 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: At first, all the people that saw the information on 83 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: the website said, yes, we have our big iPhone event 84 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: happening September fifteenth, ten am Pacific. And then after everyone 85 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: tweeted that and screenshoted that, they sent out the invitation 86 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: to journalists including myself that had won two extra words 87 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 1: on it that the website did not, and it said 88 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: time flies, which immediately everyone realized that, oh, this is 89 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: about the Apple Watch and not necessarily the iPhone because 90 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: we know that the iPhone supposedly is delayed this year. 91 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: So as it stands September fifteenth, ten am Pacific, you 92 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: can watch the live stream of Apple's next big event, 93 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: and we are expected to see new Apple Watches and 94 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: a new iPad Air. 95 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 2: That's according to Bloomberg. 96 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: They say that the iPhone twelve will launch later in October, 97 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: and that makes sense because we've heard with the pandemic 98 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: that things are a little bit delayed. 99 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 2: So am I. 100 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: Excited for new Apple Watch and new iPad Air? Yes, 101 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: the new iPads. I am excited because I'd like to 102 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: buy my kids new iPads. It's been a while, it's 103 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: been I think four years now, and they need a 104 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: new iPad, both of them. 105 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 2: So I am excited for that. 106 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: My one kid's iPad is all cracked and it just 107 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 1: needs to get a new one. And they're just small, 108 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: and ideally like to get them iPad Mini. I'm not 109 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 1: sure if they're refreshing that, but whatever it is, I 110 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: just need to buy new iPads. So I will be 111 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: very excited for the iPad situation and Apple Watch. I mean, 112 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: I can't imagine what they're gonna add to the Apple Watch. 113 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: That would make me more excited about it. I think 114 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,119 Speaker 1: the current Apple Watch is near perfect except for battery life, 115 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: but I've gotten so used to charging it every night anyway. 116 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 1: The other thing is that the well, we'll just say, 117 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: we'll see. So that's that, And I don't know what 118 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: more to say about the Apple event. It's gonna be exciting, 119 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: it's virtual. I'm not going up there, so that saves me, 120 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: you know, the time and effort of going up to Coopertino. 121 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: It's always fun to go up there, but it's just 122 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: not happening that way right now. So we will see 123 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: what happens with Apple. Maybe they'll throw us some surprises, 124 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: throw us some loops, But right now, as it stands, 125 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: we're looking forward to new Apple Watches and new iPads. 126 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: Perhaps maybe some smaller gadgets like an air tag, but 127 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: I think that's coming with the iPhone, and even with 128 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 1: the iPhone, I mean, what more do you want with that? 129 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: I mean except for people that are just waiting to upgrade, 130 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: and five G is cool, but we know that five 131 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,679 Speaker 1: G is not necessarily all there just yet. So let's 132 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: get to our first question. This comes from let's see, 133 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: Lisa says, good morning, Good morning. I have a tech 134 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: question for you. I recently purchased a Roku to save 135 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: money and lose our cable during this difficult time. Would 136 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: like to still have some basic channels and some sports. 137 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: Do you recommend any particular app for this? Thank you 138 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: for your time and input. Love the Channel five News. Well, 139 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: thank you, Lisa. So you ditched cable, which was a 140 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: smart move to get you save some money here, and 141 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: you have a Roku. So the good news is Roku 142 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: has pretty much everything you need, with the exception right 143 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: now of HBO Max and also what is it HBO 144 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: Max And what's the other one that's not on there 145 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: right now? HBO Max blanking right now, there's two? What 146 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: was the one that just came out? Anyway, So Hulu 147 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: has a lot of what you need. The problem is 148 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: you're looking for sports, which is kind of tricky. I 149 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,679 Speaker 1: will tell you one app that I think is pretty 150 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: cool that I think is kind of like having cable 151 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: but for free. 152 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 2: And it's called Pluto TV. 153 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: And this is I kind of tell these stories, but 154 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: I've been wrong about a couple of things several times 155 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: in my tech career, and I'm human, I get it. 156 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 2: It happens. 157 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: But I'll never forget sitting there with this guy at 158 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: lunch who told me that he started this new app 159 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: called Pluto TV, and I didn't get it. I literally 160 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: sat there and told this guy. He's like, you know, 161 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: maybe you should do a story on it. I'm like, why, 162 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: come on, dude, there's so many streaming apps out there. 163 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: This was many years ago, and I'm not kidding. I 164 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 1: sat there at lunch as he told me all about 165 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: Pluto and how it was going to be like cable 166 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: but for free, and I just didn't get it. It 167 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: did not register in rich Demuro's mind that this was 168 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,719 Speaker 1: a three hundred million dollar idea, because a couple of 169 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 1: years later, that's how much Viacom paid him for Pluto TV. 170 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 2: So, needless to say, I was wrong, he was right. 171 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 2: And sometimes I will be honest. 172 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: Sometimes I am told stuff so early in the game 173 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: that my little brain cannot process just how big of 174 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: an idea this is. Now, I'm not saying that's all 175 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: the time. When I remember the Microsoft came in and 176 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: told me about the surface, I got it immediately. 177 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 2: And while no one else can. 178 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: Understand how a tablet could be a PC and how 179 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 1: PC could be a tablet and touchscreen and pen and 180 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: all this stuff. I got that, and it took a 181 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: while for the rest of the world to catch on 182 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: to that idea. But with the Pluto TV situation, I 183 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: just didn't really get it. I said, why would you 184 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: want this? I downloaded it when I got home. I 185 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: watched it for about five minutes. It seemed to me 186 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: that it was YouTube but strung together, you know, one 187 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: one video after another, which I kind of like, but 188 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: I'd rather just watch what I want to watch by 189 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: keying and keywords. 190 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 2: Well, now I get it. 191 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 1: Pluto has really done a good job of expanding and 192 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: when you download the app, it's fast. 193 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 2: The channels changed like cable channels. There's a whole bunch. 194 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: Of stuff to watch for free, and I'm very impressed. 195 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: And someone at Viacom, which is much smarter than me, 196 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: because they capitalized on it and bought it from this guy. 197 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 2: And now the rest, as they say, is history. 198 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: So Lisa, to answer your question, I would start with 199 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: something like a I would just go through Roku and 200 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: look at the top channels. Everything is represented there. So 201 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: if you want, you know, entertainment, sports, whatever, you're gonna 202 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: get it. The problem is what it's going to be 203 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 1: tough to do is local news in certain aspects, and 204 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: sports are really tricky too because you usually have to 205 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: pay for those. 206 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 2: The other website I'd. 207 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: Recommend is Untangled dot tv, so if you want to 208 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: pay for a little bit of something, you might. 209 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 2: Want to look at that. 210 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 1: The other service that gives you a lot of channels 211 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: for a little bit is Filo Philo. Filo is a 212 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: cable kind of streaming service that's twenty bucks a month 213 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: for a whole bunch of channels, fifty channels plus a DVR, 214 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: and what you'll find is there's no sports on there. 215 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 2: That's how they save money. 216 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: But they've got all the cable channels, like or a 217 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: lot of them, AMC, Animal Planet, DIY, Food Network, FI, 218 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: Game Show Network, MTV, Lifetime, No Oxygen, No Oxygen, Nicktoons, 219 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: Nick Junior. So they have a lot of stuff on there. 220 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: But again, go to Untangled dot tv and pop in 221 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: the things that you want to watch, the things that 222 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: you like, and just see if that gets what you need. 223 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: But if you canceled cable to save money, personally, I 224 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: would just not subscribe to anything and just see what 225 00:11:59,559 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: you can get. 226 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 2: At for free through these streaming services. 227 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: On the live stream, folks are recommending Peacock's a bunch 228 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: of stuff there. You can get a bunch for free streaming. 229 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: Just go ahead and like I said, look at the 230 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: top channels on Roku and just see what what interests you. 231 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 2: Oh whoops, sorry, wrong sound effect. I'm going to a 232 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 2: story right now. 233 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: Microsoft unveiled details on the Xbox Series S and the 234 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: Xbox Series X S and x S and x S 235 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 1: and x S and x say that ten times fast. 236 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: And here is an interesting part. I believe they've had 237 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: this before, but you can now basically rent to own 238 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: an Xbox. So it starts at twenty five bucks a month. Here, 239 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: let me give you details. November tenth, that is when 240 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: the Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S. 241 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 2: Will be available. 242 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: Pre orders are already or no, they're starting on September 243 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: twenty second. So let's talk about the Xbox Series S. 244 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: This is the I guess, the inexpensive model. This is 245 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: the cheaper one, all digital, and that means it's still 246 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 1: fast still. 247 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 2: You know, has what you need. But it's a small, 248 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 2: sleek Xbox. 249 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,959 Speaker 1: That I believe does not have any sort of CD drive, 250 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: disk drive, whatever. 251 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 2: It's all Ye, it's all digital. 252 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: So that's kind of the entry level model that I 253 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: think a lot of people will like. But if you're 254 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: a true gamer, you're probably going to be more interested 255 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: in the Xbox Series X. The Xbox Series S, by 256 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 1: the way, is three hundred bucks. Then you've got the 257 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: x which is the you know, the the big boy. 258 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,839 Speaker 1: It's the real deal everything that you need five hundred 259 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: dollars for that one. And again these are both you know, 260 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: big new gaming platforms, gaming consoles, I should say, And that's. 261 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 2: What you need to know. So pricing, let's talk about 262 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 2: the prices. 263 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: They are doing this Xbox All Access and so for 264 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: twenty four months, you pay and you get this console 265 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: your choice. 266 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 2: So here's what you get. You get the console of 267 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 2: your choice. 268 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: Then you get one hundred high quality games to play 269 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: on that console, including next gen optimized games. Then you 270 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: get one hundred high quality games to play on your PC. 271 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: Then you get an EA Play membership, so you can 272 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: play sixty of EA's biggest games and one hundred games 273 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: to play from the cloud. So a whole bunch of games. 274 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: Now it sounds great. I'm counting this up one hundred, 275 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: two hundred two sixty three hundred and sixty games to play. 276 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: How many of these games are you actually going to play? 277 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: Probably not many. The games that you actually want to 278 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: play are probably still going to cost you the sixty 279 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: bucks or whatever they cost for a new game. 280 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 2: Now. 281 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: I am not a huge gamer, so I can't really 282 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: comment on how many games are in this Xbox Game 283 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: Pass Ultimate, but I'm sure there's some. It's kind of 284 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: like the Nintendo Switch or Apple Arcade. You're gonna find 285 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: stuff to play, But is it gonna be the latest, greatest, 286 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: best games that you want to play? Probably not in 287 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: every circumstance. 288 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 2: How much does this cost? 289 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: Twenty five dollars for twenty four months for the Xbox 290 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: series S. If you want the x which is the 291 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: bigger batter machine, that's gonna be thirty five dollars a 292 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: month for twenty four months. I'll do the math for you, 293 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: save you the math, and that is six hundred dollars 294 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: or eight hundred forty dollars. So how much are you 295 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: paying extra? You're paying an extra three hundred dollars on 296 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: top of the small one, three hundred and forty on 297 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: top of the big one, so you have to decide 298 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: in two years is three hundred or three hundred forty 299 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: dollars worth all those games you get? And also the 300 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: I guess the pricing plan. So if you like to 301 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: pay monthly, it might seem like a better deal because. 302 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 2: It's only twenty five bucks a month. It's only thirty 303 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 2: five bucks a month, no big deal. 304 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: But you're actually paying three hundred dollars in interest or 305 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: three hundred and forty dollars in interest in the form 306 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: of games. So I'm not gonna tell you whether that's 307 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: good or bad. You can decide on your own. But 308 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: I will tell you that both of these Xbox consoles 309 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: are backwards compatible with thousands of generations or games from 310 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: four generations of Xboxes. So that's kind of cool because 311 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: that's always a big question, will these play old games? 312 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: And I think that, you know, I think that my 313 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: kid wants the Xbox. It's gonna be Xbox versus PlayStation. 314 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: I think he wants the Xbox because he wants to 315 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: do Minecraft and Minecraft on a console. He's been asking 316 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: for it for a while, so that will probably be the. 317 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 2: Direction we go in the DeMuro household. 318 00:16:49,520 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: But again, now you know, next question from Kristen or Kirsten. 319 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: I never know if it's Ki. I guess that's Kirsten, right, 320 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: Kirsten says, Hi, Rich, have you done a review on 321 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 1: the new Samsung Galaxy Watch three. I have not, and 322 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. I wore the Samsung Galaxy Watch 323 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: three for about twenty four hours and that was it. 324 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 2: That was about all I could take of it. So 325 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:20,719 Speaker 2: I don't want to knock it. 326 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 1: I'm sure that if you have an Android and you 327 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: know Samsung device, it's great. I just could not get 328 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: into it, and especially at the price four hundred bucks, 329 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: it just did not seem like something that was what 330 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 1: I wanted, and it just it's the Samsung Galaxy Watch three. 331 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: It has a leather band number one, which I immediately 332 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: don't like because I feel like I'm not trying to 333 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: get a watch for looks. 334 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 2: I'm trying to get a watch for. 335 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: Fitness situations, and I just I don't know. So, Kirsten, 336 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 1: I did not do a formal review because I just 337 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: did not see the mainstream appeal of that device at 338 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: that price. And so maybe I'll change my mind to 339 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: do it, but I just have not gotten a lot 340 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: of interest from it either. And also, I be totally honest, 341 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: I think that the Fitbit Sense, the new Fippit coming out, 342 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 1: is a way better fit for an Android user and 343 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 1: a lot of iPhone users out there now. I think 344 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,919 Speaker 1: iPhone the Apple Watch is always going to be best, 345 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: but I think when it comes to in general for Android, 346 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,719 Speaker 1: I just feel like the Fippit is a better device. 347 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: It just has more features, it has a better price point. 348 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: It's already down to three hundred bucks on Amazon, down 349 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: from three to thirty, and. 350 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 2: I just think it just I don't know, it just 351 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 2: seems better to me. 352 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: I've not tested it yet, so I don't know for sure, 353 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: but that's my feeling. So I just didn't really see 354 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: the big appeal of the Samsung Galaxy Watch three. 355 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 2: And I could be wrong. 356 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,360 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong, like I was about about the other thing, 357 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: the Pluto TV. But at the same time, that's why 358 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: I didn't cover it. I played with it for a 359 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,640 Speaker 1: little bit and it's just there's literally no apps available. 360 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: There's just not much on that. It's like the same 361 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: thing that I opened up a couple years ago when 362 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: I checked out the Galaxy Watch. 363 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 2: The last time. 364 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 1: There has been no movement on that device whatsoever. There's 365 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 1: no there's no music apps, there's no no I mean, 366 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: if I look at my Apple Watch, every app I 367 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: install on my iPhone, there's a there's a companion app 368 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 1: that goes onto the Apple Watch. Google Maps just came 369 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 1: to the Apple Watch after many years of not being there. 370 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: There's just a lot of pro there's just a lot 371 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: of progress with the Apple Watch, and I just have 372 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: not seen that same progress with the adoption of Samsung's watch. 373 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 2: And when it comes to something. 374 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: Like Fitbit, I feel like they have progressively gotten better 375 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,919 Speaker 1: and better and better and kind of honed things. 376 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 2: But at the same time, I just. 377 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 1: Think that's a better choice for most people. So I 378 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: will be reviewing the Fitbit. I don't think they're sending 379 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: it to me, so I will be purchasing that myself 380 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: and definitely getting that on a review because I feel 381 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: like people need to know about that watch. 382 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 2: A sense. 383 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: Just seems like they put everything we need in a 384 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: smart watch for the Android side, from sleep to temperature 385 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: scanning to all kinds of stuff, and it has a 386 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,959 Speaker 1: six day battery life. So to me, that's where my 387 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: money is, and I think that that's where your money 388 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: should be. If you're looking for a watch for the 389 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: Android side of things, if you're looking for. 390 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 2: iPhone side of things. 391 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 1: I still think you gotta go Apple Watch because it 392 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 1: just integrates so well with their iPhone that I can't 393 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 1: imagine going with something else. Unless sleep is your primary 394 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: sleep and battery life are your primary motivations for a watch, 395 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 1: then I think the Sense would be good for you 396 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 1: for that. 397 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 2: But again I haven't tested it yet, so that's you know. 398 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: And again this is this podcast is called rich on Tech. 399 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 1: It's it's my opinion, it's what I see in the world. 400 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: So if you listen to an Android podcast or a 401 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: Samsung podcast, they may say that the Samsung Galaxy Watch 402 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: three is the best thing ever invented. 403 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 2: I don't know if that's the case. 404 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: I am very quick to judge things when it comes 405 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: to some of this tech, and to me, when I 406 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: put that watch on. 407 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 2: It just felt like a step backwards. And so I 408 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 2: feel like you have to just go with your gut. 409 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: Sometimes on these things, even though yes I'm wrong sometimes, 410 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know, I tried it. 411 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: I did a couple I did a run with it, 412 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: I did a bike thing, with it. It just didn't 413 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: give me the satisfaction that I get from the Apple 414 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: Watch or even from when I wore the Fippit. I 415 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: wore the Versa for a long long time over the 416 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: Apple Watch, and I think the Fipbit Versa three looks 417 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: very promising. I think the inspired, I think what fipbit 418 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 1: is doing is very good. When it comes to just 419 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: every day general fitness and tracking, that's what you want 420 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: to go with, all right. So in Los Angeles, you know, 421 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: everyone's talking about COVID nineteen and I hope you're safe 422 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,040 Speaker 1: from that, and I hope you're doing well with that. 423 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 1: But this whole idea of contact tracing, So if you know, 424 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: if you're familiar with that idea of contact tracing, it 425 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 1: means that it you know, if you come down with COVID, 426 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: someone out there in the health department wants to know, well, 427 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: who did you come into contact with because we need 428 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 1: to call them and they need to be aware of 429 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: this and potentially get tested. And so the tech companies 430 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: Apple and Google, they came up with a system that's 431 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: built into all the iPhones and all the androids, and 432 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: it's a really good system that uses Bluetooth to track 433 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: you where you go, but not location, just track who 434 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,959 Speaker 1: you come into contact with. And if you come into 435 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 1: contact with someone that gets COVID nineteen and they report 436 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 1: it to their phone, then it will be reported to 437 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: you all anonymously. Well, it's getting some pick up, but 438 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: not a lot. Well, Los Angeles County decided to go 439 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: with Citizen and an app that they have called safe Pass, 440 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: and it's the same idea. You go into this app 441 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: every day and you report whether you have COVID or 442 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 1: symptom or testing or whatever, and it will tell the 443 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: folks that you've come into contact with if they should 444 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: get tested because well, you came down with COVID. 445 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 2: Well, the big difference. 446 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: Here is that when I downloaded the safe Pass app, 447 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 1: which is being promoted all over the place because city 448 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: County of Los Angeles decided to go with it, all 449 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 1: of a sudden I noticed that there was no log in, 450 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: there was no whatever, But it was somehow linked to 451 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: my Citizen app, which I love. 452 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 2: Citizen. 453 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: By the way, if you don't have the Citizen app 454 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 1: on your phone, get it. 455 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 2: It's awesome. 456 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: It tells you all the insane crime happening around your house, 457 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,360 Speaker 1: and it's scary, And it's scary in a good way 458 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 1: because you feel very informed, but you don't know what 459 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: to do about it. But you know what's going on 460 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: in your neighborhood. 461 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 2: Well what safe Pass? 462 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: I was a little bit perturbed because before I downloaded it, 463 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: I looked all over the permissions on iPhone and Android 464 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: and all. 465 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 2: I saw was Bluetooth, Bluetooth, Bluetooth, nothing about GPS. 466 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: And so when I downloaded it, it said, oh, here 467 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: are the people in your neighborhood, and it gave my 468 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: neighborhood name and said here's how many people are using it. 469 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: I said, well, that's odd because I never gave you 470 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 1: access to my location. So what's going on here? 471 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 2: Well? 472 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 1: I figured since I had Citizen downloaded on my phone, 473 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,479 Speaker 1: which needs location to work, that somehow safe pass was 474 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: sort of piggybacking on their data. And my hunch was 475 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: correct because I emailed Citizen and I got a response, 476 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 1: and let me read you their response. I said, does 477 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: it use location? And they said if a safe pass 478 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: user already has Citizen downloaded and location enabled, safe pass 479 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 1: will use this information to provide you with the location, 480 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: as well as the time, date, duration, and around a 481 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 1: potential COVID nineteen exposure, so the user can decide all 482 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: location data is deleted after thirty days. Okay, fine, but 483 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: here's my problem with that. You need to tell me 484 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: that you are using my location, especially with something that 485 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: is purportedly tracking me twenty four to seven every single 486 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: place I go. Now, I know that the Citizen app 487 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 1: has been doing this, and I like that because in return, 488 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: I get a really good product for free, which is 489 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: crime alerts around where I am. But I know that 490 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: that's doing that, and safe pass never told me it 491 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: was doing that. Now I took it a step further, 492 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: specifically saying, I see that it only asks for Bluetooth 493 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: in permissions, but is it piggybacking on location data from 494 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: the Citizen app or otherwise sourcing it? 495 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 2: I see? 496 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: I ask because I see that when I activated safe 497 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: Pass is said where I was located and how many 498 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: other people in my city were using the app. 499 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 2: Here's what their response was. 500 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: Safe Pass depends on Citizen for GPS data for now, 501 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 1: and eventually all users will benefit from the GPS enabled features. 502 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: If you're logged into Citizen with location permissions enabled and 503 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:52,199 Speaker 1: then download safe Pass, the accounts link so that the 504 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: user's Citizen app will provide GPS data to the users 505 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: safe pass app. 506 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 2: What hold on? You need to tell us this? 507 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: This was not revealed in any way, shape or form 508 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: to the citizens of Los Angeles downloading this app. Now 509 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: they say, users who have both Citizen and safe Pass 510 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 1: are informed of GPS data location via our privacy policies. Okay, 511 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: when was the last time you read a privacy policy 512 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: while you downloaded an app? 513 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 2: Exactly? Never? 514 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: So I don't like this further for now, if you 515 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 1: don't have Citizen downloaded and location enabled, if you download 516 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: safe Pass, safe Pass will not use GPS location. So 517 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: what I get from this If you want to protect 518 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: your privacy and you don't want safe Pass to keep 519 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: a location of where you are at all times with GPS, 520 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: you can download the app by first deleting your Citizen 521 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,439 Speaker 1: app off your phone, but then you don't get the 522 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: benefit of Citizen. 523 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 2: Now. 524 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: I am not saying that it's bad that it's using 525 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: location to do this COVID tracing. I think that there 526 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,360 Speaker 1: is definitely a level of privacy that you're giving up 527 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: if you decide to go that route, and the route 528 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: that this app is going is specifically the route that 529 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: Apple and Google wanted to avoid because they specifically do 530 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 1: not use your GPS location for their COVID nineteen exposure notifications. 531 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 1: They use only Bluetooth, and that is the most private way. 532 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that it's a big deal. If 533 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,199 Speaker 1: you don't care, if you're not doing anything wrong, you 534 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 1: don't really care about your location, then it's not that 535 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: big of a deal. Where I take issue with this 536 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: is the fact that nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, except in the 537 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: privacy policy, did they tell us that this is happening. 538 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: And I don't like that. I feel like that's not 539 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 1: very nice to do to people. And so for an 540 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: app that the County of Los Angeles is using and endorsing, 541 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 1: I feel like people should know they throw ound Bluetooth, Bluetooth, Bluetooth, 542 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: but realistically they're. 543 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 2: Using location, location location, so they really need to make 544 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 2: that clearer. 545 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:02,679 Speaker 1: And I suspect as more people kind of realize this, 546 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: I suspect that the Citizen website will change, and in fact, 547 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 1: I'm taking a screenshot of it right now because right 548 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 1: now it says with save pass, you can track your symptoms, 549 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: find testing sites, and enable Bluetooth contact tracing to get alerted. 550 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: I have a feeling they are going to change that 551 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 1: wording because when people realize that it's more than just bluetooth, yeah, 552 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: that will change. Speaking of privacy, am I am? 553 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 2: I getting fired up yet? 554 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: I love getting fired up in this podcast because it's 555 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: it's my place to get fired up. But here's something 556 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: that you need to do today on your Zoom account. 557 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 1: And it's called two factor authentication. And if you've heard 558 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 1: me blab on on this podcast over and over and 559 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: over and over and over, you've heard me talk about 560 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: two factor authentication. Two factor authentication is the probably the 561 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: best way to secure your accounts. What it means is 562 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: that if you're using the same password over and over 563 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: or a variation of your password over and over for 564 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: all your accounts, which I know you are. I know 565 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: you're out there, I know a couple of you are. 566 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: If you're doing that, which I highly recommend not doing, 567 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: you need to enable two factor authentication, which makes things 568 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: a little bit more secure. 569 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 2: So what two factor. 570 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: Authentication does is when someone gets a hold of that 571 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: tired old password that you're using everywhere and they enter 572 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: it to log into your accounts, it will say oh okay, well, hey, 573 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: we also need to get a text message that we 574 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: just texted to your phone and the hacker goes, oh 575 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: darn it, I don't have that person's phone, so in 576 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: that aspect, they can't log in. So it basically stops 577 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 1: these logins from happening when people get your password because 578 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: you use a really weak password. 579 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 2: So it's protecting you from yourself. And so. 580 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: Zoom recently enabled this for everyone, and I highly highly 581 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: recommend that you enable it. It works with both a 582 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: SMS which is a text to your phone, or a 583 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: password authentication app, which there are many of them. Google Authenticator, 584 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 1: Microsoft Authenticator or authy is another one, and just pick 585 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: one of those. It takes a little bit to set 586 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: it up. Don't lose your password to that account. But 587 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: those are the things that are a little bit more 588 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: secure than using your phone to do this, but at 589 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: the minimum, use your phone for SMS. Here's how you 590 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: do it. Go to zoom dot us slash profile. You're 591 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: gonna have to log in and then scroll to where 592 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: it says two factor authentication. You're gonna have to log 593 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: in again when you say turn on, and you turn 594 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: it on, follow the steps. 595 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 2: It will be turned on and your life. 596 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: Will be better for it, especially if you're a teacher. 597 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: You do not want someone hacking into your Zoom account. 598 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if a lot of people are hacking 599 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: into Zoom accounts. I know that, like zoom bombing is 600 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: a big thing. This doesn't really help with that, but 601 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: it will help from someone getting access to your account. 602 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: You just don't want people to have access to your account. 603 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 2: All right, let's see here, let's see Amanda. 604 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: Amanda says, good morning. I guess a lot of people 605 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: write me emails in the morning, can I get I 606 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: guess you know what. It's probably because they see me 607 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: on TV and then it's like boom. They want to 608 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 1: they want to email me because like, oh yeah, I 609 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: gotta email that guy that's always on my TV talking 610 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: about tech. 611 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 2: Good morning. 612 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: Can I get your suggestions on the best apps to 613 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: monitor your teenage kid on social media and personal texts? 614 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 2: Thank you, Amanda, Amanda. 615 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: I recommend the same thing to everyone, and it is 616 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 1: called bark bark dot us. And the reason why I 617 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: like bark is because while I have not used this 618 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: with my children, I feel like they are the most 619 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, it just seems like they do it right. 620 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 2: They can do a lot of stuff. 621 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: They can monitor thirty of the most popular apps and 622 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: social media platforms, including text messaging and email, and they 623 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 1: use artificial intelligence. 624 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 2: So what I like is that they actually don't there's 625 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 2: some services. 626 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: That just give you a list of all of your 627 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: kids stuff and you have to like go through it 628 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 1: and look at it. What Bark does is it kind 629 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: of like monitors using AI, so it will kind of 630 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: tell you when it notices something that's a little bit off. Now, 631 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: it's not always going to be right, but I kind 632 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 1: of like that approach better than you having to read 633 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: every one. 634 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 2: Of your kids text messages. To me, that seems better. 635 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: And this works with a lot of stuff iPhone, Android, Chrome, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Spotify, Gmail, WhatsApp, 636 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: kick disc, TikTok, Skype. It works with a lot of stuff, 637 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: and I think that that's pretty good. It looks for 638 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: signs of harmful interaction and content, and so it will 639 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 1: give you a little alerts that tell you when you 640 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: need to kind of give something a human eye, and 641 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: so I really like that. I don't know, I just 642 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: think it looks really good and I, you know, I 643 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,479 Speaker 1: hate the fact that we have to do this, but 644 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: the reality is we do. 645 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 2: And how much is it. 646 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 1: It is five dollars a month or fifty dollars a 647 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: year for Bark Junior, and that is something that you 648 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: don't really that's just managing screen time and filtering websites. 649 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 1: So realistically, if you want to get the most out 650 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 1: of Bark with all the monitoring the apps, it's fifteen 651 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: bucks a month or one hundred dollars for the year, 652 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 1: which it sounds like a lot, but that's a small 653 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: price to pay for peace of mind with your kid. 654 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:47,959 Speaker 1: I am dealing with this with my kids with Minecraft 655 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: and Roadblocks. They want to be able to Minecraft. I 656 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 1: figured it out where they can chat with just their friends. 657 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,719 Speaker 1: With Roadblocks, it's a whole different story. 658 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 2: You know. 659 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of Roadblocks. If it was up 660 00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: to me, it'd be banned in my home, but I 661 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 1: know all the kids play it. So my kids do 662 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 1: get to play it, but they are highly restricted. And 663 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: the problem with Roadblocks is that there's a lot of 664 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: stuff going on in there that I don't like, a 665 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,840 Speaker 1: lot of chat. It's very sticky. The kids love it, 666 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 1: gets them playing all day long. They can chat with 667 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 1: their friends, but there's you know, there's just a lot 668 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 1: of stuff going on in there. So I don't like 669 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:18,800 Speaker 1: that they are not allowed to chat and they're always 670 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: asking me. And the games are restricted, and my kid 671 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,800 Speaker 1: is like, oh, can I just unrestrict my games? And 672 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 1: then you can go through every week and kind of 673 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 1: see the games I've played. I don't want to do that. 674 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: I don't want to just sit there and go through 675 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,880 Speaker 1: every game you've played and see if it's a bad. 676 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 2: Game or not. So I just restrict them, and it 677 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 2: does limit what they can do. 678 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: And so anyway, I digress' that's what I'm dealing with. 679 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 2: All right. 680 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: If you have a Visio TV, you can get the 681 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 1: Apple TV app on your Visio TV.

So the guy from tech Armor. 744 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 1: I forget where he came from, but he had a 745 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 1: lot of experience with tech and I forget what his 746 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:41,839 Speaker 1: background was. But now he came to me with tech Armor, 747 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: and immediately I understood it because I said, dude, everyone 748 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,920 Speaker 1: else is charging fifty bucks for a screen protector. You're 749 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 1: charging ten. Like, what's the catch? He said, nothing, We're 750 00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 1: just not doing it at mal Kiosks. So we can 751 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 1: charge a lot less because we're going straight to Amazon. 752 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 1: And on Amazon you can find a lot of stuff 753 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,560 Speaker 1: out there, but you want to go with brands that 754 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,799 Speaker 1: you know. So I'm looking on here and do they 755 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:03,920 Speaker 1: have the Samsung Galaxy S nine? 756 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:05,759 Speaker 2: And yes they do. 757 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 1: And this is a little bit of a curved screen, 758 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,920 Speaker 1: so I think that's why you're saying, is it case friendly? 759 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:15,359 Speaker 1: But they've got it tech Armor three D curved HD 760 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:19,799 Speaker 1: clear ballistic glass and it is twelve dollars ninety five 761 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:20,600 Speaker 1: cents for. 762 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:23,279 Speaker 2: Is it coming to three pack? 763 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 1: Sometimes they come in like a two pack, oh, one pack, okay, 764 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 1: so it's twelve ninety five for one. So that's the 765 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 1: one that I'd recommend go with that, and that's the 766 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 1: first choice. The other choices are zag Zag is great. 767 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 1: I really like their screen protectors. They do charge if 768 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,399 Speaker 1: you you know, they do charge a little bit more. 769 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 1: So if you go into the mall, you are gonna get. 770 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 1: You're gonna get, you know a well. I think Invisible 771 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,239 Speaker 1: Shield is the brand name from Zag. But you're gonna 772 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 1: pay a little bit more, but you know what, it's 773 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 1: gonna be high quality.

So 779 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,720 Speaker 1: you're gonna pay a little bit more for Zag. Sorry 780 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,399 Speaker 1: I keep calling it Zag. But invisible Shield I think 781 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 1: does Zag also do no? 782 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, Zag, I don't know. 783 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,279 Speaker 1: But anyway, it's Invisible Shield is the ZAG brand, but 784 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 1: they also so anyway, those are the two that i'd recommend. 785 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 1: I would look into those. You know, it depends do 786 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:34,799 Speaker 1: you want to pay thirty bucks or do you want 787 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,239 Speaker 1: to pay thirteen dollars? Maybe start with the thirteen and 788 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: if you don't like it, go to the thirty. But 789 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 1: I always I those are the screen protectors I put 790 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 1: on my phones and I like them. Now I will 791 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: tell you I did put a screen protector on my 792 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:49,439 Speaker 1: iPhone this week. 793 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:50,880 Speaker 2: And that's what I love about scream protectors. 794 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: When they break or they crack, you just peel it 795 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:53,839 Speaker 1: off and you put on a new one and it's 796 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 1: like you have a new phone. And I'll be honest 797 00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,799 Speaker 1: with the note twenty, I did not have a screen 798 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:01,839 Speaker 1: p protector on there because I did not get them 799 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 1: in time for my testing and I dropped the phone. 800 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,320 Speaker 1: It survived for the most part, but there is a 801 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,000 Speaker 1: little tiny scratch on the screen and that's just annoying 802 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:11,080 Speaker 1: when you do that. 803 00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 2: And so it's just one of. 804 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 1: Those things that when you have a scratch on your screen, 805 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:18,720 Speaker 1: it's really really annoying. 806 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,279 Speaker 2: And so that's that. 807 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:23,959 Speaker 1: By the way, if you're asking questions on Facebook Live, 808 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,360 Speaker 1: I will get to those, but at the end of 809 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,480 Speaker 1: the podcast, I always do the Facebook Live questions at 810 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 1: the end, So stick around till the end and I 811 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,239 Speaker 1: will get to some of those questions. But that's you know, 812 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,400 Speaker 1: you got to have a screen protector. And okay, so 813 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:40,280 Speaker 1: my story was that I put on a screen protector 814 00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 1: that was a Matt finish, and I don't remember putting 815 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:47,840 Speaker 1: a Matt Finish on there. I don't. I like the 816 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:49,759 Speaker 1: privacy ones, but I can't really use them because I 817 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 1: record a lot on my screen when I do little 818 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,680 Speaker 1: tips and tricks for you, So I can't really have 819 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,479 Speaker 1: a privacy one because if you're at just the wrong angle, 820 00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: it's gonna look weird. It just doesn't look as good 821 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 1: on camera. But I like the privacy ones. Those are 822 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,279 Speaker 1: kind of cool because you know everyone's creeping on your phone. 823 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 1: They're trying to see what you're looking at, especially if 824 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:06,880 Speaker 1: you're commuting or something. 825 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 2: Or at work. 826 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,400 Speaker 1: You don't want all those eyes on your phone. They 827 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 1: don't need to see that you're on Instagram the whole day, 828 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:17,400 Speaker 1: that's what you're doing. But I don't like Matt screen protectors. 829 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:18,760 Speaker 2: It's it's really off putting. 830 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,000 Speaker 1: For some reason, I am so used to a shiny 831 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,960 Speaker 1: phone screen that I put this Matt screen protector on 832 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 1: my iPhone and it just it looks so weird. It's 833 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:28,799 Speaker 1: just like it feels like my phone is messed up, 834 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,799 Speaker 1: and it always looks grimy too, which I don't like. 835 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 1: So that's my story and I'm sticking to it all 836 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 1: right Peloton, which has been the bell of the ball 837 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,879 Speaker 1: during the pandemic. They have a couple of new devices, 838 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,600 Speaker 1: a new bike and a new treadmill. I'm not going 839 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,319 Speaker 1: to go over the new treadmill because you can just 840 00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,040 Speaker 1: look that up. But the new bike is called the 841 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,200 Speaker 1: Bike Plus, and if you can believe it, it's actually 842 00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:58,440 Speaker 1: more expensive than the last Peloton bike. This one is 843 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,759 Speaker 1: twenty five hundred dollars, and so the old one was 844 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: like twenty two hundred, I think or something like that. 845 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 2: So what did they do new? 846 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,680 Speaker 1: It's got a new twenty three point eight inch rotating 847 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,080 Speaker 1: HD touchscreen. So the old one was a little bit smaller. 848 00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 1: It was like two inches smaller, and it did not 849 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:19,200 Speaker 1: rotate left and right. So what happens is when you're 850 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,560 Speaker 1: done with a Peloton this is spin bike, by the way, 851 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 1: when you're done with a workout, you want to be 852 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,680 Speaker 1: able to spin your screen left or right so that 853 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,760 Speaker 1: you can do kind of the stretching or the strength 854 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 1: exercises they have, and you couldn't do that before, and 855 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:33,560 Speaker 1: so now you can rotate it one hundred and eighty 856 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:37,320 Speaker 1: degrees left and right. They've got a new better speaker system. 857 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 2: But to me. 858 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,760 Speaker 1: I think that's pointless because who listens to the speaker 859 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,640 Speaker 1: on their peloton? Don't you just have headphones in. And 860 00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,360 Speaker 1: then this is really cool. You can now tap to 861 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,360 Speaker 1: pair your Apple Watch and my gym. 862 00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:50,240 Speaker 2: My old gym. 863 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,560 Speaker 1: Before I canceled my membership because of the pandemic, had 864 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,759 Speaker 1: this on some of their treadmills where you would just 865 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,879 Speaker 1: tap your Apple Watch to the treadmill and it would 866 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:01,879 Speaker 1: sync up the results, which was really cool. So because 867 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,120 Speaker 1: you're on a treadmill inside, you might not get the 868 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,600 Speaker 1: proper results from your Apple Watch. So of course the 869 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:11,880 Speaker 1: treadmill knows exactly how far you've gone, so it would anyway, 870 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,000 Speaker 1: so syncs that up. That's really cool. That's a that's 871 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 1: a great feature. And then they have this new auto 872 00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:20,000 Speaker 1: follow digital resistance. So if you put your metrics in, 873 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,799 Speaker 1: like what your target metrics are when the teacher calls out, okay, 874 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:24,920 Speaker 1: you got to be at thirty resistance right now, the 875 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 1: bike will automatically adjust to that resistance, which is really cool. 876 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,279 Speaker 2: It's kind of like autopilot again. 877 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 1: It's twenty five hundred bucks for the new bike, plus 878 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,879 Speaker 1: it's available September ninth, which has already passed, so you're 879 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:39,480 Speaker 1: good there. And the original Peloton bike is going down 880 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,560 Speaker 1: to nineteen hundred dollars, which is kind of cool. 881 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 2: Don't forget. 882 00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:44,759 Speaker 1: On top of all these prices, you still have to 883 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:49,360 Speaker 1: pay forty dollars a month for their service, for their membership, 884 00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 1: and if you have an original Peloton bike in the 885 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,279 Speaker 1: US in working condition, you can trade it in for 886 00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,239 Speaker 1: seven hundred dollars towards the new one, which I thought 887 00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:57,719 Speaker 1: was really cool. 888 00:43:57,719 --> 00:43:58,480 Speaker 2: They don't have to do that. 889 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,439 Speaker 1: They'll even pick it up from your house, and if 890 00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,440 Speaker 1: you bought a bike in the past thirty days, they 891 00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,040 Speaker 1: will refund you the three hundred and fifty dollars price difference, 892 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,720 Speaker 1: which is how much the price of the bike dropped 893 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,680 Speaker 1: the original one. So I think Peloton has done a 894 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:16,360 Speaker 1: solid here, and that's it. I mean, Peloton's fantastic. I 895 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,600 Speaker 1: don't have one. I have a imitation bike that I 896 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:21,719 Speaker 1: use the Peloton app with and it's fantastic. 897 00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,600 Speaker 2: It's the Bowflex C six if you're interested. 898 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,280 Speaker 1: I know when I mentioned that on my Instagram, everyone 899 00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 1: was like, well bike you have. 900 00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:29,400 Speaker 2: I love it. 901 00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:31,480 Speaker 1: If I was going to buy another one, i'd probably 902 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,400 Speaker 1: buy the Peloton. I just could not get over the 903 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,959 Speaker 1: forty dollars a month membership fee for the app I pay. 904 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:38,880 Speaker 2: I think it's thirteen dollars a month, which is a 905 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:39,520 Speaker 2: lot cheaper. 906 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,719 Speaker 1: And so if you're fine with all those fees, by 907 00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:46,840 Speaker 1: the time you most people are buying the Peloton on payments. 908 00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 1: So by the time you add up the payment with 909 00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,080 Speaker 1: the monthly payment for the app, I mean, I think 910 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,560 Speaker 1: you're talking what is that eighty and eighty that's a 911 00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,200 Speaker 1: forty and Eightyes, yet I don't know. Oh yeah, fifty 912 00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 1: dollars a month plus forty that's ninety dollar a month 913 00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 1: for the bike. So now that seemed like a lot 914 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,759 Speaker 1: to me when I was paying for a gym membership. 915 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,280 Speaker 1: Now that I'm not paying for gym membership, it doesn't 916 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:11,440 Speaker 1: seem as high. 917 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 2: So I understand where Peloton's coming from. 918 00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:16,160 Speaker 1: I don't like to do monthly payments on things, So 919 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:18,560 Speaker 1: for me, I would want to pay the whole thing 920 00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,879 Speaker 1: in advance and twenty five hundred bucks out the door. 921 00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,680 Speaker 2: It's a lot, but I'd save up for it. That's 922 00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:24,480 Speaker 2: the way i'd do it. 923 00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:26,960 Speaker 1: But I think most people, many people like you know, 924 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,440 Speaker 1: the idea of forty bucks a month fifty bucks a month. 925 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,880 Speaker 1: Though it's just monthly, I'll have a job forever, but 926 00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 1: you never know. Clearly, as we saw during this pandemic, 927 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,480 Speaker 1: a lot of people were affected. And so that's why 928 00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:39,759 Speaker 1: I don't like to do the monthly payments because you 929 00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 1: never know, never know, and you know what you're getting 930 00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,440 Speaker 1: monthly is not coming in anymore. I know it's a 931 00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,560 Speaker 1: negative way of looking at it, but it's just better 932 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,279 Speaker 1: you have more of your money. Anyway, I'm not going 933 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,360 Speaker 1: to get it. This is not a financial podcast, but 934 00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:56,759 Speaker 1: so anyway, I am now doing Orange theory when that restarts, 935 00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,600 Speaker 1: so I feel like, you know, paying for that and 936 00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:01,799 Speaker 1: then pay for the bike whatever. You don't need to 937 00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,320 Speaker 1: know how I'm staying in shape. But I'm just saying 938 00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,120 Speaker 1: ninety dollars a month if you're just using that bike 939 00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,320 Speaker 1: to work out at home along with you know, YouTube 940 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,000 Speaker 1: and all that other stuff or the app, it's fine, 941 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna that's a pretty decent price to pay. 942 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:16,680 Speaker 2: One hundred bucks a month. It's not that big of 943 00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:16,960 Speaker 2: a deal. 944 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,120 Speaker 1: A lot of gyms are, you know, fifty sixty seventy 945 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:21,560 Speaker 1: one hundred bucks a month if you go to a 946 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,279 Speaker 1: fancy gym, it's gonna be two hundred a month. 947 00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:27,640 Speaker 2: I don't know anything about that because I never belong 948 00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,600 Speaker 2: to one of those so expensive. 949 00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:33,480 Speaker 1: I think that's gonna do it for the end of 950 00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:36,000 Speaker 1: the show. I think I'm done. I think I'm done 951 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:39,000 Speaker 1: preaching about all kinds of stuff.
