1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,120

26
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: many families out there need that. I know that for

27
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,839
Speaker 1: a fact. Well, welcome once again to the show. Thanks

28
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: for joining me, and thanks for streaming the first part

29
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: of the show on the KTLA plus app. This week

30
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: took me to Mexico City for a brand new tech show.

31
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: It's called Electronics Home. Now I'm back in the studio,

32
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: but I just got back from Mexico City. Just to

33
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: be clear, it's called Electronics Home. This is the first

34
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: year they did this show. The organizers asked if they

35
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: can bring me down to Mexico City. I said, sure,

36
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: why not. I've never been there before. And I think

37
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: that the more you experience travel and the more you

38
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: experience the world, the better perspective you have on just

39
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: about everything, including technology and personally. I love to travel

40
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: because it always forces me to try new things with

41
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: technology and to check out new gadgets and to just

42
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: see what it's like to make your way around this world.

43
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: The group behind this show has been running a major

44
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: electronics show in Brazil for the past two decades. They

45
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: recently expanded into Argentina and now Mexico City, so they

46
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: have a trifecta of Latin America. Now. The show itself

47
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: was very small, really small, compared to something like CS

48
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas or IFA in Berlin, both shows that

49
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: I've attended, and it's a start. Now. Many of the

50
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: companies were from China that were exhibiting their products. There

51
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: were a few from Europe and the US as well.

52
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: But the big takeaway for me many but number one,

53
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: Mexico is an emerging market. People there are getting disposable income,

54
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: so more people are spending money. That means opportunity. But

55
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Price still matters more than brand for

56
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: a lot of consumers there. That's a challenge if you're

57
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: a premium brand going into a market because think about it,

58
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: why would you spend fifty dollars as a consumer in

59
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: Mexico on a charging cable when you know you can

60
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: get one for five And so that's the challenge of

61
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 1: these brands here. They're working to educate consumers explaining, hey,

62
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: we've got stuff that's better quality. It means it's going

63
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: to be longer lasting. It's going to be safer for

64
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: your other tech products out there. So that was one

65
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: thing I saw. The other is that some of these brands,

66
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: like a Mofi are doing a sub brand like a

67
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: Mofi Essentials, which is, you know a little bit of

68
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: a I guess like a maybe not lesser quality, but

69
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: it maybe has a few less features than the main

70
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: brands so that they can charge less but still get

71
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: that good brand. Tariffs, of course another hot topic. I

72
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: asked just about every company there about them. Now, these

73
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: companies aren't scared of tariffs in general because they're very

74
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: used to them. Tariffs have been around forever, that is

75
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: not a new concept. What bothered the CEOs and the

76
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: people I spoke with is the unpredictability that they're seeing

77
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: right now. It's really hard to plan when you don't

78
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: know if the tariff is going to be ten percent

79
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: next week or forty percent, and that uncertainty is what's

80
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: leading to a lot of stress, especially as we head

81
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: into the holidays. How much is my pricing going to

82
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: be for a particular product now. As for Mexico City itself,

83
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: I was really impressed. This is a massive historical city

84
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: with lots of energy. I had no idea going there

85
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: that it was like on top of a mountain range

86
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: or whatever, so really high elevation. It's actually higher than Denver,

87
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: over seven thousand feet compared to you know, we know Denver.

88
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: Remember back to great school math. What's a mile hundred

89
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: and eighty feet high mile high city? There you go,

90
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: it's higher than Denver. Now, I felt it only on

91
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: my run. When I took a run and I was like, oh,

92
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: I'm breathing heavy. That's when I realized the air was

93
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: really thin. The people are great in Mexico City. The

94
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: food is awesome and your money goes very far there.

95
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: The most expensive meal I think I had was about

96
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: thirty five dollars. That was at it like what I

97
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: would consider a tourist trap. And yes I did try grasshoppers.

98
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: Grasshoppers on guacamole. I don't I mean, look, I had

99
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: to do it. I'm in you know, when in Rome,

100
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: right in this case Mexico City. Let's see what else

101
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: I walked everywhere. I took ubers. They were also cheap.

102
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: I went to the Wahwei store, so they've got their

103
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: version of Rodeo drive. And of course I had to

104
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: check out the Wahwei store because we can't have Huahwei

105
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: here in the US. And I'm not kidding you walk

106
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: into this store. If I blindfolded you and walked you

107
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: into this store and took off the blindfold and I

108
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: said where are you, you would say, oh, I'm in

109
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: an Apple store and wrong answer. No, you were in

110
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: Ahahwei store. It looks identical, like literally someone just came

111
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: here to the US took pictures of the Wahwei store

112
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: or the Apple store and said, yeah, just make that

113
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: and so yes, a little bit of a copycat. But

114
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: the phones, I will tell you, I checked out the

115
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 1: cameras really impressive. Like it's incredible how many choices of

116
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: smartphones they have in overseas places like Europe and Mexico

117
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: and China compared to the US and the US we

118
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: are pretty much limited to Samsung, Apple, Pixel and Motorola

119
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: is like probably a tiny bit of the market. But

120
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: in other countries you've got all these other brands opo

121
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: zte a SEUs or is it a a sir Huaweih

122
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: of course, I mean really a lot of brands out there.

123
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: But what strikes me every time I travel is just

124
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: how much tech has transformed the game. So I can't

125
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: remember the last time I needed cash in a country

126
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: that I went to. Because you can use tap to

127
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: pay for just about everything, you don't need to trans

128
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: convert your cash anymore. I didn't need a new simcard,

129
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: so I recently switched to a phone plan that now

130
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: includes international roaming, which is really convenient. I don't have

131
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: to do anything, just turn on my phone. Now, you

132
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: do pay more per month, so I do not recommend

133
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: you switch to a plan that has international roaming unless

134
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: you travel abroad a lot. Otherwise you're paying every month

135
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: a little bit more for that, you know, for that service,

136
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: So you don't necessarily need that unless you're traveling a lot.

137
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: And e SIM is a great bet. I tested out

138
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: two of them while I was in Mexico, Aerolow, which

139
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: I've talked about many times on the show, and then

140
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: a new one called Saley s Ai L s A

141
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: I L E Y s A I L E Y

142
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: s AI L why Sale And they both worked great.

143
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: And like I said, Tap to pay is everywhere, so

144
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: use that. Lean on that. Make sure your card, whatever

145
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: card you're using, does not charge foreign transaction fees. So

146
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: an Apple Wallet is something else I figured out. If

147
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: you want to change your default card that pops up

148
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: when you tap to pay, just slide it to the front.

149
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: So literally just press and hold it in your Apple

150
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: Wallet and slide it to the front and that will

151
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: be your default card. Took me a bit to figure

152
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: that one out. Android, you can just go into the

153
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: card and press set as default. Now, when it comes

154
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: to currency conversions, you can also do that right on

155
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: your phone. This was another thing I figured out. On

156
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: the iPhone. You can swipe down and you can just

157
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: type in like two hundred and forty pass and it'll

158
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: convert it instantly into dollar, So that was pretty cool.

159
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: They also have built in conversions in the Calculator app.

160
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: Look in the lower left hand corner. You tap the

161
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: little calculator icon. It says do conversions. You tap that

162
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: and boom, No need to download anything extra Now an Android,

163
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: I recommend the XE app that'll do conversions pretty easily.

164
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: Other travel tips I picked up add a widget to

165
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: your home screen with your time zone back home to

166
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: make it easy to know what time it is back home.

167
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: Download offline maps before you travel so that you can

168
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: navigate even if you don't have service, Like there may

169
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: come a time when you're going from the airport to

170
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: your hotel and you don't have service or connectivity just

171
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 1: yet because maybe you haven't gotten your eSIM activated or whatever.

172
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: You might need to navigate download those offline maps. That

173
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: is great. Now the other big thing, and this is

174
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: a really pro tip that I've took me a while

175
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: to figure this one out, but when you go to

176
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: a different country and you search on Google for the

177
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: first time, it's going to change your region to that country.

178
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: And what does that mean? All of your search results

179
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,359
Speaker 1: are going to come up in my case as Mexico

180
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: search results right or whatever country you're in, like you

181
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: might be in Italy and get Italian search results. That's

182
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: not going to be very helpful for you as an American.

183
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: So what you want to do is go into your

184
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: Google account, which is your profile picture upper right hand

185
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: corner of the Google main page, and it'll say settings,

186
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: So you can go manage your Google account and you'll

187
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: see your settings and all you have to search for

188
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: is region settings and once you do that, you can

189
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: search that to your standard. Let me just I'm trying

190
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: to do this as I talk to you here, but yeah,

191
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: as you go into your oh here it is lower

192
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: right hand corner. Sorry, settings, okay, and it says search settings.

193
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: And then you go into let's see where is it

194
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: other settings, and it says language and region and you

195
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: tap that and it says results language filter and results

196
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: region is what you want to change back to the US.

197
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: And I'll put this all on the website so you

198
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: know it. But that is key because otherwise you're gonna

199
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: get all those results for your local area that you're

200
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: not gonna make any sense to you. So change the

201
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: default region to United States, and that way you can

202
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: get your your standard Google results that you like. And yes,

203
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: chat GBT. This is my first major international trip with

204
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: chat GBT and it's incredible. I mean it did everything

205
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: for me, from telling me the neighborhoods to visit to

206
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: the things to do and translating menus. I mean it

207
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: was really great. You know, I love Google's AI mode.

208
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: That did not work in Mexico because I guess it's

209
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: a regional thing here in the US. Still, so I

210
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: ended up using perplexity a lot, which is also excellent.

211
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: So if you're not trying perplexity, check that out. But

212
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: the bottom line. The world indeed feels a lot smaller

213
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: and more accessible than ever, and it is all thanks

214
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: to that little phone in your pocket. Lean on it,

215
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: use it, and with these tips you will be a

216
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: pro traveler. All right. Coming up, I'm gonna tell you

217
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: about the camera app that I was testing over in

00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: in Winchester, California. Oscar, you are on with Rich. What's up, Hi, Rich?

231
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: I've got a a question about the U in my

232
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 2: Windows ten desktop. I have Microsoft Outlook that I have

233
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 2: to have. I got it to go, Daddy, and then

234
00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: Microsoft exchange, and uh, I would like to be able

235
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 2: to uninstall it because their font site on it for

236
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 2: some reason. Got I think it's when it added, you know,

237
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 2: one of the AI options or something, and the font

238
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 2: size got in in uh to the largest and I

239
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 2: can't get it down. And then right now, also there

240
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 2: are there's a Microsoft notification that that that is up

241
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 2: on the screen that stays up that I can't get without,

242
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 2: so it covers my Outlook screen and I can't get

243
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 2: to the inbox or anything without this notification coming up.

244
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: So you want to start over or are you? Are

245
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: you going to reinstall Outlook?

246
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 2: Yeah? The thing, well, let me give you a not more.

247
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 2: It's it's more like a standalone version of Outlook.

248
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,599
Speaker 1: Right, so you want to get the one from Microsoft,

249
00:12:59,640 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: the new one.

250
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 2: It's not right, it's not it's the new version. It's

251
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 2: not the one that.

252
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 3: Came in.

253
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 2: Like I had used to have Office thirteen on there,

254
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 2: and it's had Outlook that is removed. So now it

255
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 2: doesn't show in up apps and features. Okay, so it

256
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 2: doesn't show in the program files or program files eighty six.

257
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: Okay, Well here's what I would do. So it sounds

258
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 1: like if you don't want to use this Outlook anymore,

259
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: then you want to uninstall it. And that sounds like

260
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: you're going to reinstall the new version of Outlook, which

261
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: you can download from Microsoft as well. They have like

262
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: a free version you can get for Windows. So what

263
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: I would do is you got to go into your

264
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: settings on Windows. So if you go into Settings, just

265
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: type in the search bar add or remove programs, and

266
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: it should bring up System Settings at to remove programs

267
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: and you'll see a list of all of your apps there,

268
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: so it'll say installed apps. And up at the top

269
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: there's a search bar. You can type in Outlook and

270
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: you should find the version of Outlook that you're looking for.

271
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: And so once you do that, you're going to see

272
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: a couple little dots on the right hand side and

273
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: it'll say advanced options or uninstall, and you want to

274
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: just tap that uninstalled. Let it go through the process

275
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: of uninstalling that program from your computer, and then you

276
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: want to restart your computer. And then once you do that,

277
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: then you can go to the Outlook website. Let's see

278
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: here download Microsoft Outlook because there should be a version

279
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: of Outlook you can get for Yeah, the new Outlook

280
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: for Windows so it's free for anyone with Windows, and

281
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: that's a little bit different than the program that you're

282
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: talking about. I think this is more like a consumer

283
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: friendly version of Outlook than the standard ones that used

284
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: to come with the office programs. So you can then

285
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: view that in the Windows Store and you can download

286
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: that for free, and then you'll just have to reconnect

287
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: your email. And typically most email nowadays is all done

288
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: server side, so you should get all your emails in there.

289
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: If you're worried about your emails oscar being in the

290
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: old app, you might want to export those first before

291
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: you uninstall that app, so that way you have access

292
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: to your emails if you need them as a backup.

293
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: But that's what I would do, and then just reinstall

294
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: the new Windows or the new Outlook and you should

295
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: be just fine with that system, and that's fine. That's

296
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: the way to do it. So if you're getting these

297
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: random little things that are happening on your computer and

298
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: it's just not working out for you, get rid of it,

299
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: download the new one, and it's a whole refresh like

300
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: Outlook got a lot friendlier looking, I think than the

301
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: standard old version. And so I use the web version

302
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: of Outlook, which is completely different. But that's just because

303
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: I'm on a Mac most of the day and it's

304
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: just easier for me to do it that way, and

305
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: I have the installed version I do you know, I

306
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: have Outlook for Mac as well. There's just one little

307
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: feature that does not work for me. I've got this

308
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: like distribution list that I send an email to every week,

309
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: and for some reason, the Outlook for Mac does not

310
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: support that. And you know, they keep upgrading it because

311
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: it's brand new, But that's that's the reason I'm not

312
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: using that. Thanks for the call, Oscar, do appreciate it.

321
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,040

00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,880

337
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging out

338
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: with you talking technology at Triple eight Rich one O

339
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: one eighty eight seven four to two four one zero one.

340
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 1: Before the break, we were talking to Oscar about uninstalling

341
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 1: Outlook on his computer. Turns out it's not showing up

342
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: in that list of ad or remove programs. So when

343
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 1: that's happening, a couple things it could be. It could

344
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 1: be that it's part of Microsoft Office Suite, which has

345
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 1: sounded like Oscar said, so in that case you might

346
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: have to go to the Office Suite and uninstall it.

347
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: That way. There's also a third party program that might

348
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: be able to help. And this is in general, if

349
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,199
Speaker 1: you want to uninstall some of the programs that are

350
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 1: on your computer that Windows is just not helping you do.

351
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: It's called Revo Uninstaller r e v O Uninstaller, and

352
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: this has a free version which can do some of

353
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: the basics for you. It'll uninstall your apps for free

354
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: Windows apps and a couple other things. But you know,

355
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: if you want kind of the pro version, you might

356
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: have to pay, but I would check out the free

357
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: version and just see if that helps. Let's go to

358
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: let's see Karina in Las Vegas, Krena. You're on with Rich.

359
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 4: Hi, Rich, Hi, thank you for taking my call.

360
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, what's going on?

361
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 4: Well, we used to have an exercise class here where

362
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 4: I live, and because I'm in a senior community and

363
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 4: they didn't rehire the gal. Well, I've got all these

364
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 4: videos that I've taped her classes on they're on my phone.

365
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 4: Excuse me, but I of course it's taking up so

366
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 4: much space, So I want to know where's the best

367
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 4: place and the easiest because I don't want a lot

368
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 4: a lot of complications of where I can store all

369
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 4: these videos.

370
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: How much? How much are we talking? Like how much

371
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: are they taking up? And what are you trying to

372
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 1: give them to her? Or are you trying to just

373
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 1: keep them?

374
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 4: I want to save them. I want to save them

375
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 4: for myself because now that we don't have her here anymore,

376
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 4: I want to still be able to use them when I'm.

377
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 5: In the gym.

378
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: Oh I see she still want to like, you still

379
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: want to watch these videos on your phone?

380
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 4: Well, yes, but I want to put them on another platform.

381
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 4: I guess that's what you call it, so that it

382
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 4: won't take up so much space on my phone, because

383
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 4: I keep getting that message to clear up the storage,

384
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 4: and it's because, yeah, I've got pictures and videos and

385
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 4: my grandkids and but right now what's more important is

386
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 4: these exercise videos.

387
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to get rid of these things. It's

388
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: like you can't do anything else on your phone because

389
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: of this. How do you know how much storage these

390
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: photo these videos are taking up? Roughly? Like are we

391
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: talking a gigabyte? Are we talking five? Gigs.

392
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 4: Okay, you're asking me a question. I said, I don't

393
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 4: know how to answer that.

394
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, Okay. So the main thing is that

395
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 1: there's a couple. So it sounds to me like you

396
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 1: want to get these off your phone, but you also

397
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: want to be able to access them on your phone

398
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: in the future, so that if you wanted to refer

399
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: to them, it'd be easy to do that.

400
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 4: Now, yes, exactly.

401
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: Now, here's the thing. Are you paying for iCloud storage?

402
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 4: No?

403
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: Okay, you're not, Okay, So what I would do is,

404
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: I think, uh Karina, I think the best way to

405
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 1: do this is to really get a cloud service provider

406
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: where you can upload these photos or these videos and

407
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: then that way you'll still be able to access them,

408
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: but you will have them off your phone. So what

409
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: I would do is look for a provider. There are

410
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: a couple, so it depends on how big these attachments are. Right,

411
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: So if we're talking like a gig or two gigs,

412
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: most of the service providers will give you up to

413
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: like fifteen gigabytes of free storage, depending on the service provider.

414
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 1: So for instance, if you were to download Dropbox, what

415
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: you could do is you could upload these videos directly

416
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: from your phone to the Dropbox app, and then once

417
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: they're in the Dropbox app, you can delete them off

418
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: your phone. Now, Dropbox gives you two gigabytes of free storage.

419
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: So let me just take a look at the amount

420
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: of space of video is taking up on my phone. Okay,

421
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: so let's see. Here's a standard video that's about This

422
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: is about a minute long, and this video is taking

423
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: up about one hundred gigabyte one hundred megabytes. So if

424
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: we're doing the math on there, you know, it depends

425
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: on how much you need. The one that I probably

426
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: recommend is one Drive because they're going to give you

427
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: five gigs of storage for free, and it's pretty easy.

428
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: You could download one Drive, you can sign up and

429
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: that will give you five gigabytes of storage and you

430
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: can keep that on your phone and so you'll still

431
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: have access to these videos. The other one I'm looking

432
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: at is let's see here. So there's a service called

433
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: Pea Cloud which I was testing, and they're going to

434
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: give you ten gigabytes of free storage. And I've tested

435
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: this recently. It's exactly as it sounds. Ten gigabytes is

436
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: pretty good. So maybe start with that one. Let's see here,

437
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: So ten gigabytes for free. And what you would do

438
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: is you would just upload these videos to this this

439
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: pa cloud app, and then once they're on that app safely,

440
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: they'll be in the cloud. You can just delete them

441
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: off of your phone and they will still live in

442
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: the cloud. So that's the way I do it. And

443
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: then you can access them at any time through this

444
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: app on your phone, and it's very easy. I've tried

445
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: this and it's pretty simple to do, so that's probably

446
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: what I recommend. So go to the website pcloud dot

447
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: com or just download that app on your phone and

448
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: set it up, sign up, and then once you download

449
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,959
Speaker 1: that app, take you know. The app will show you

450
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: in your gallery all your videos, find those little exercise video,

451
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: upload them to this app, and then you can delete

452
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: them one by one off your phone. And this is

453
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,479
Speaker 1: free pretty much forever for that amount of storage. So

454
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: that's probably gonna be the easiest way to do it.

455
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: There are a million ways to do what you're talking about,

456
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: by the way, it's just a matter of like what

457
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: do you want to do with these videos afterwards? Like

458
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 1: if you just wanted to offload them from your computer

459
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: or your phone, I would say, you could just grab

460
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: a flash drive, plug it into the bottom of your

461
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: phone and drag these videos to that flash drive and

462
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: then delete them. But you said you wanted to follow

463
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 1: these exercise videos from your phone in the future, so

464
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: that's probably the best way to do it. Thanks for

465
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: the call, Kreta, appreciate it. Do appreciate that. Let's see here,

466
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: how long do we have Bobo before I got to

467
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: go to break? Okay, got time. So let me tell

468
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: you about this, this giant password leak because sixteen billion passwords.

469
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: Lots of headlines about this, Lots and lots of headlines, scary,

470
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: scary stuff. Everyone's saying you gotta change all your passwords

471
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: right now. That is not realistic. So this is being

472
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: called the largest data breach. Ever, a lot of this

473
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: was stolen via malware that logs your keystrokes, so it's

474
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: not necessarily like these companies were hacked. It was computers

475
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: that were hacked. And this is a gathering of stuff.

476
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: So a lot of people are debating whether this is

477
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: old or new. It doesn't matter. You still have to

478
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,959
Speaker 1: treat this as a reminder to lock things down. So

479
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: number one, do not reuse passwords. If one password gets compromised,

480
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: the hackers will try to use it everywhere else. That's

481
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: why you don't want to reuse your passwords. Number two,

482
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: turn on two factor authentication. So you want to use

483
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: an app like two fas or pretty much any two

484
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: factor authentication app that you come across that you like.

485
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: You can use au these good Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator.

486
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: They all have their pros and cons. Two fas is nice,

487
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,719
Speaker 1: it works on iPhone and Android, and it's better than

488
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: getting those SMS codes. So sign up for an app

489
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: like that and then use a password. Man, I know

490
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: I'm a broken record. You got to use a password manager,

491
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: something like bitwarden, which is great. It's free, it's cross

492
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: platform that'll generate and store long unique passwords. Now, focus

493
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: on protecting your key accounts. Now in this password leak,

494
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 1: we've heard about Google, Apple, Facebook, We've heard about those

495
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: passwords being involved in this. Now, if your account is

496
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: out there with this password in the wild, yeah, there's

497
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: a chance that someone can log into your account. But

498
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: if you have two factor authentication, you're going to be

499
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: protected way more than if you don't. So do you

500
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 1: have to go out and change your password on these accounts?

501
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: If it's a password that you've been reusing for the

502
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 1: past ten years, absolutely get out there and change it,

503
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: because chances are it's in this dump. If it's not

504
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: a password that you've been reusing, if it's something in

505
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: a password manager, you're probably okay. And you have two

506
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: factor turned on, you're probably okay. Keep it in mind,

507
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 1: a lot of these hacks happen when people say, oh,

508
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: I got hacked on Facebook, hack on Google, I got

509
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: hacked on Instagram. It's not necessarily that someone is sitting

510
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: out there trying to hack your account. It's most of

511
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: the time you are being tricked into entering your password

512
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 1: on a fake website that is trying to steal your information.

513
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: So that's what's really happening a majority of the time. Now,

514
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: in this case, you know a lot of these passwords

515
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 1: were gotten via malware that steals your keystrokes from your computer. Again,

516
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: your computer was hacked at some point along the way.

517
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: And this happens when you download some random program or

518
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: you know, whatever you're doing on your computer that you

519
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 1: might install something that you're like, oh, wait a second,

520
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: why did I just do that? And then you've got

521
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 1: something that's logging what you're doing on there. Now, there

522
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 1: are some ways if you're curious. A website called cyber

523
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: News has a password leak checker, so they actually have

524
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: a website where you can go to you can type

525
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: in your password. I know this sounds scary, and I

526
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: don't recommend that you necessarily do this unless you are

527
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: typing in a password that's old and you've reused a

528
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: bunch and you're just sort of curious. So I typed

529
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: in a couple of my old, old passwords that I

530
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: was reusing a lot before I got smart, and sure enough, yeah,

531
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,479
Speaker 1: it's like, oh yeah, those are out there. So if

532
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: you've got those passwords you want to try to put

533
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: into this website cybernews dot com slash password dash leak

534
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: dash check, and you can type in a password that

535
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: you've reused over the years and it will tell you, yeah,

536
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: that's out there. They've got thirty a database of thirty

537
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: three million passwords that are just sitting out there, exposed

538
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: on the open web. So if you're using one of

539
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: those passwords from back in the day, chances are yes,

540
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: it is been leaked. And again this is not new information.

541
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: This stuff. I'm telling you. The steps I'm telling you

542
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: to take right now are the same steps I would

543
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: have told you six months ago before we had these

544
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: scary headlines. It is the same main things. You have

545
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: to get used to using strong, unique passwords. Today I

546
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,719
Speaker 1: was logging into a new account that I created at

547
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: a bank, and it was like, hey, do you want

548
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: to create You have to create these security questions. Answers

549
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 1: to security questions, name of the street you grew up on,

550
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: name of your best friend when you grew up. I

551
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: forget what the third one is. And I'm not kidding.

552
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: I don't use real answers to those questions. Because you

553
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: could figure out the street that I grew up on.

554
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: You could figure out my best friend's name when I

555
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: was a kid. That's pretty common knowledge, or my school,

556
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 1: my high school mascot. So what I do is I

557
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: use a some sort of generator to make up fake answers,

558
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: and I remember those answers so that if that information

559
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: got out there, you wouldn't be able to figure it

560
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 1: out because it's something that I don't even know. It's

561
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: just made up. Now, you have to keep tracted. Caveat

562
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: is If you're doing that, it'll keep you secure, but

563
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: you have to keep track of that information. So in

564
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: your password manager there's literally a small notes field and

565
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: you can type in the answers those questions and the answer,

566
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: so that'll give you an added layer of security. So yeah,

567
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: this stuff is not easy. I guess My point is,

568
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: if you're trying to secure online, it's not something that's fast.

569
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: It does take a little bit extra, but it will

570
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: protect you from things like this in the future. I'll

571
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: put the link to that password checker on my website.

Speaker 1: website links to anything I mentioned, is right there A

581
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: lot of you sending emails in let's see here we've

582
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:46,479
Speaker 1: got Greg says, so should I use the password manager

583
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: on my iPhone or get the one you recommended in

584
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: your latest newsletter, Greg, I recommend a third party password manager,

585
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: so you can use the one on the iPhone, the

586
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: Passwords app. It's safe, it's fine. But the the reason

587
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: I don't like it is because it locks you into

588
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: the iPhone and iOS and all that stuff. And I

589
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: just personally think that third party software is better because

590
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: Bitwarden is thinking about everyone. They're thinking about how to

591
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: make their app work great on iPhone, Android, Windows, Chrome, everything,

592
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: versus Apple is only thinking about getting people to stick

593
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: to the iPhone and so therefore they're only prioritizing things

594
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: that work for iPhone users. So it's fine. If you're

595
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: never going to switch out of Apple, go ahead use it.

596
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: It's simple, it's easy, it's built in. But personally, I

597
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: like third party when it comes to all of my

598
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: software because it works equally across everything. And that's the

599
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: way I think the technology should be. I think that

600
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: technology should be inclusive and getting everyone on board in

601
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: the same way versus something that excludes people. And when

602
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: you're using something like passwords app on the iPhone, yeah,

603
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: they've got a way that you can use it on

604
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: a Windows computer, but it's just not very good, not

605
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: as easy as something like a Bitwarden. Well that's the answer.

606
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: But if you're fine with that, just go with it.

607
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: It's built in. And yes, of course it's easy and

608
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: it's simple. Then we got another email here from Let's

609
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: see here? Where was it? Vic says, Hey, Rich, I

610
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: listened to your podcast. I find it very informative. You

611
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: make it easy to understand technology. I'm trying to join Cantina,

612
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: but it wants to access my contact list and I

613
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: don't feel comfortable giving them full access. When I try

614
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: to select contacts, it won't let me. Do you know

615
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: if they if they contact everyone on my contact list

616
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: to try Cantina, is there a way around joining without

617
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: giving them full access? Thanks, I have not heard about

618
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: this app called Cantina, but yes, a lot of these

619
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: apps will try to get you to sign up and

620
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: give access to your full contact book because guess what

621
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: is a growth hack? It helps them get this information

622
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: to more people. So that is a red flag if

623
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: they will not let you sign up without giving them

624
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: full access. Because what's happened is so many of these

625
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: apps over the years that I've tested out, they will

626
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: take access to your information and they will spam your

627
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: followers or your contacts. I guess I should say, and

628
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: so with this app. I'm not sure. I'm trying to

629
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: go through the sign up sign up process right now

630
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: while we talk. Oh wow, look, I'm already I'm already

631
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: signed up for Cantina. How I've never even heard of

632
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: this app? Sorry, this email is taken? How is my

633
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: email taken on an app I've never heard of in

634
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: my life? Okay, I'm gonna type skip. When is your birthday? Okay?

635
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: I already don't like this app. If apps are asking

636
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: you for all this information, I don't know what that

637
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: You must be eighteen? Okay, well so I don't know.

638
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: I gotta get back to you on that one. I

639
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: don't know if I like that app. Let's see here,

640
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: let's go to Bill in Fullerton. Bill, what's going on?

641
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 6: Hey?

642
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 2: Rich? Can you hear me?

643
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: Okay? Yeah?

644
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 6: Here?

645
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: Are you great?

646
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 6: Hey?

647
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 7: I've got a Dell Tower to a PC model eighty

648
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 7: nine hundred I got from Costco about four or five

649
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 7: years ago, and the Windows eleven upgrade is telling me

650
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 7: that my CPU is not meeting their requirements. So instead

651
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 7: of buying a whole new computer, I was wondering, could

652
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 7: I upgrade the motherboard and the CPU and keep everything else.

653
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: I mean you might be able to, But how much

654
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: would you pay for this computer?

655
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 2: Oh?

656
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 7: Probably, I'm guessing five point fifteen six.

657
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, so by the time you upgrade this thing, which

658
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: mayor you know, you may be able to do that,

659
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: but I don't think that's worth it. So you're the

660
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: amount you're going to pay for new components, if any,

661
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: that are going to work inside this computer is probably

662
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: going to be more than the price of a new PC.

663
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: But I don't think that that means this is hopeless.

664
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: We had a couple of guests on the show talking

665
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: about ways to get around these. You know what Windows

666
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: is doing is it's looking. It's it's checking your computer

667
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: to make sure that it's compatible, and it's it has

668
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: a list of things that it has in its checklist.

669
00:33:58,120 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: It says, yeah, this is going to make sure that

670
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: that when eleven works smoothly on this computer. But if

671
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: you're if you're gonna get rid of this thing anyway

672
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: or like upgrade or buy a new one, I'd rather

673
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: see you upgrade or force the upgrade of the software

674
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: on your computer and at least use this computer as is.

675
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,919
Speaker 1: So what I would do is I mentioned this article

676
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: last week. There's a great article The Intelligence dot Com

677
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:25,240
Speaker 1: is a great Windows newsletter, and he talks about Chris

678
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: a guy, a guest we've had on our show, talks

679
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: about how you can kind of force your computer to

680
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: upgrade to Windows eleven, even if it says it is

681
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: not officially supported. And the way you do this is

682
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: there's an app called rufous, So you download Rufus and

683
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 1: once you have that, that's basically going to help you

684
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: create a bootable USB drive very simply, and then you

685
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: download the Windows eleven disk image from Microsoft's website and

686
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: all you have to do is install that and it

687
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 1: will say a Windows User Experience window will appear, and

688
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 1: there is an option that says move requirement for four

689
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: gigabytes of RAM, secure boot and TPM two point zero.

690
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: Make sure that's checked. Install this, and now you can

691
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: just install Windows eleven on here. This is not again,

692
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 1: if Bill, if you're not sort of like a little

693
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: bit advanced with your computer, but it sounds like you

694
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: are based on what you just said to me. This

695
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: is not for the the inexperienced person, So I think

696
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: that you have to be a little bit tech savvy

697
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 1: to try this. And of course, before you do something

698
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 1: like this. You want to make sure that you are

699
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: backing up everything on your computer because it could all

700
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: go away when you're doing this fourced upgrade. But that's

701
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 1: what I would do. I'll put a link to this,

702
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: you know, this article on my website rich on tech

703
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,280
Speaker 1: dot TV. But I'd probably do that before you look into,

704
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: you know, opening up this tower and replacing some of

705
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: those components on a computer. That's probably not meant to

706
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: do that. Rich on Tech dot TV eighty to eight

707
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 1: rich one oh one eighty eight seven four to two,

Speaker 1: Thanks so much for hanging out with me. We've got

715
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about. Uh, we've got a great

716
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: guest this hour. Remember the BlackBerry. You know, everyone loved

717
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: their BlackBerry phone and had that keyboard click aty clack,

718
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: click any clack. Well, if you want to bring back

719
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: that experience, there's a company called Clicks that is doing that.

720
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 1: They're making keyboard cases for a couple of the smartphones

721
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: out there, like the Samsung's, the iPhones, some Motorolas, and

722
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: you can actually buy them at Best Buy. But this

723
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: has been pretty popular. So we're gonna have the CEO

724
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: of Clicks join us this hour to talk about how

725
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: you can add a physical keyboard to your phone and

726
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 1: just you know, I guess people like it. They've sold

727
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:58,720
Speaker 1: a bunch of them. It is Prime Day, I guess sorry,

728
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: it is not Prime Day, falsel arm. I'm not spreading

729
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: false news here. It is not Prime Day. Stand down.

730
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: Put your credit card. Put your credit card back in

731
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:11,760
Speaker 1: your wallet? Is that a credit card in your pocket?

732
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: You're you just happy for Prime Day? That'll get Boba?

733
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: See I would that be considered a dad joke or no? Yeah? Okay, Bobo,

734
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: Bobo's back. By the way, Bobo is Bobo. If you

735
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: didn't know, the show did not fall off the rails

736
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: the last three weeks, but it could have easily because

737
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: Bobo was off cruise in. Uh does that mean something different? No,

738
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,879
Speaker 1: You're fine with that, okay. I was celebrating my forty

739
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: second Yes, happy birthday, Thank you?

740
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 4: Bo?

Speaker 1: How old forty two, damn right and and everything. Yeah,

742
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: you can say that word. You're getting up there, tell

743
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: me about it, you know, Hey, it's you know, forty

744
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: two is pretty young, all things consider. Oh it is,

745
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: I bet hold on, do you remember do you remember

746
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: turning twenty one? Vaguely? Oh, vaguely? Okay, you had a

747
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: good party.

748
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 5: Then.

749
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: I remember turning twenty one. I can remember it like

750
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: it was yesterday. I was in Vegas. I went to Vegas.

751
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 1: It was so exciting, like that was such a big

752
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: moment in my life. I was in Vegas.

753
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,879
Speaker 8: My cousin took me to Vegas with my twenty first

754
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 8: was the first time I got drunk off alcohol.

755
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: Firt. Wow, you were better than I was. I didn't

756
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: drink it till I was twenty one.

757
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:25,919
Speaker 9: More.

758
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:31,800
Speaker 1: Wow, you're a saint. Well sadly, it's been downhill ever since. No, no,

759
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: you're not wrong. Oh my gosh, that's funny though. Good

760
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: for you. Hey, you know what, kids, if you're listening,

761
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: be like Bobo. There is no reason to drink. Honestly,

762
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: it is none at all. It's honestly, ever, But the

763
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:50,479
Speaker 1: problem is you get started and then it's relaxing. It's fun.

764
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: You know, you have a good time, and then it's

765
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: like you know, and for some people they can't handle it.

766
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 1: You know, they just can't handle it.

767
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

768
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: True, you seem like a guy that can handle ithred

769
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: percent minus life year.

770
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 3: And we've all had those days. Yeah, they're just like

771
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,479
Speaker 3: never again. But I can't say that I did miss

772
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 3: the show. Like I was telling my wife, I was like,

773
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 3: oh my god, I gotta go back on Rich. I said, Rich,

774
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 3: don't think I'm abandoning, But I was like, I gotta

775
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 3: go back, and She's like, you shouldn't want to take

776
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 3: off one more like jokingly, I was like, nah, I'm gonna.

777
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: Have a word with Britney. Come in, hold on. I

778
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 1: thought I liked her. All right, Well, it's good to

779
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: have you back.

780
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 8: Oh, and shout out to the city of Santa Monica.

781
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 8: I mentioned that I worked with you on Saturdays. I

782
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 8: hosted a Juneteenth festival and everybody told me to say

783
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 8: you love so from Santa Monica to Rich.

784
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 1: They wanted to say, hey, thank you, Santa Monica. And

785
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 1: now they have that new promenade which you can drink outside.

786
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 1: Yes they do speak. Okay, so Prime Day happening. It's

787
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: bigger than ever this year, happening July eighth through July eleventh,

788
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: four full days, first time ever for that started out

789
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: as one day back in twenty fifteen. Remember Prime Day

790
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:01,399
Speaker 1: started as a way to celebrate Amazon's twentieth birthday and

791
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: Prime like membership for customers, and of course sell Prime memberships.

792
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 1: But now they just keep expanding it and clearly Prime

793
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: Day is doing well for Amazon, and I think some

794
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: years it was like a little bit like Okay, give

795
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,760
Speaker 1: me a break. Now I actually think it's gotten very legitimate,

796
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 1: like companies plan around Prime Day, and if you don't

797
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 1: really understand how Amazon works, it kind of benefits everyone

798
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: for Prime Day because there are so many Amazon affiliates

799
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 1: out there, right, people who write about Amazon products link

800
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: them up on their websites, and that website gets a

801
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: little commission from Amazon for selling products. So they have

802
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: like all these sales people out there that sell products

803
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 1: and they come up with like, you know, ten ten

804
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: travel products that are the best or ten whatever, just

805
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: pick any category. Websites are promoting this stuff. That's why,

806
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 1: so Prime Day kind of works out for everyone because

807
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 1: everyone wins. So this year, what's going to be different?

808
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: Lowest prices of the year on brands like Sony, Dyson,

809
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: and Samsung. Today's Big Deals. That's a new thing. They're

810
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: doing daily theme drops exclusive to Prime members. They just

811
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: come up with like a different deal name every year.

812
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: You're also gonna get a dollar off a gallon of

813
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: gas per gallon July third through six, so good for

814
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 1: Fourth of July weekend. That's at BP, Amoco and AMPM,

815
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: but you have to sign up for that first. That

816
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: program they have, Alexa Plus, is gonna help you track

817
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: deals and there's gonna be all kinds. Like the bottom line,

818
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: here's what you need to know about Prime Day. Don't

819
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,720
Speaker 1: believe the hype. Don't go in there trying to spend money,

820
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: trying to find things to buy. What you really need

821
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 1: to do is just think about the stuff that you

822
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: need and or want right. There is a difference. But

823
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: put that stuff in your cart now or put it

824
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 1: in your save for later, and then when July eighth

825
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: rolls around, that's when you can look in your cart

826
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: and see if these things go on sale. Now there's

827
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: a caveat. You know, all the Amazon brands are gonna

828
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: go on sale, the rings, the Kindles, the fire TVs,

829
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: all that stuff's gonna go on sale. A lot of

830
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: big brands are gonna go on sale too, But put

831
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: the stuff that you want in your cart now. And

832
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 1: by the way, we're talking about this a couple of

833
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: weeks before it happens. Prices drop in the in the

834
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: hours and days leading up to Prime Day because there's

835
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 1: so much attention around Prime Day. People are just looking

836
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 1: for stuff to buy. I'm already going to Amazon dot

837
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: com slash Prime Day, and there's already a whole bunch

838
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 1: of deals on all kinds of stuff. I mean, everything

839
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: back to school, up to thirty percent off top products

840
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: like ring I mean, there's just so much stuff that

841
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,720
Speaker 1: you might want to buy. But again, don't just browse

842
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: the website. That's gonna You're gonna lose money in the

843
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: end doing that. What you want to do is think

844
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: about the stuff you need. Look around your house, even

845
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 1: things that you eat, things that you need, like to restock.

846
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,919
Speaker 1: It sounds silly, but that's the best way to get

847
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: the most out of Prime Day. It's like buying the

848
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,240
Speaker 1: stuff that you're gonna get anyway. It's like going into Costco.

849
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: When you go into Costco for one thing, right, they

850
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: get you because you want to buy your coffee that

851
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: you like at Costco and it's inexpensive because you buy

852
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: it in bulk. Well, most people can't walk out of

853
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: Costco with just buying that one thing. They parade through

854
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,320
Speaker 1: all the aisles and there's so many great deals and

855
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: you end up spending a couple hundred bucks just because

856
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: you came in for that coffee or I mean paper towels,

857
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,879
Speaker 1: toilet paper. Why do you think they put all those

858
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,439
Speaker 1: on the back wall. You gotta walk all the way

859
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: through Costco and there's it's like you know, you're a

860
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: kid in a candy store when you're an adult at Costco, right,

861
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: there's so many things and it's and don't get me wrong,

862
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: Costco is a good deal. You compare the price you're

863
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: gonna paid anything at Costco, it's gonna be better than

864
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: on anywhere else you go. But the thing is you're

865
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,359
Speaker 1: buying a whole bunch of other stuff at the same time.

866
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,399
Speaker 1: And usually there's one or two things you buy that

867
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: you probably didn't go in for, that you don't really need,

868
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: but you buy anyway. That's how it goes. So anyway,

869
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: Prime Day is happening with that said, I do have

870
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: a list of I just created on my website a

871
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: list of some of the products that I like because

872
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: people always ask me what's your go to gadgets and gear,

873
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,240
Speaker 1: So I made a list of my go to gadgets

874
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: in gear and I put it all on there. This

875
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 1: is stuff that I've tested that I like, and it's

876
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: all linked up. So if you want to see if

877
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,839
Speaker 1: that stuff goes on sale for Prime Day, check it out.

878
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 1: Rich on tech dot TV. The thing I did test

879
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,800
Speaker 1: on my trip to Mexico City is a portable carbon

880
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 1: monoxide detector. I'm sure you've heard the stories in the

881
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 1: you know, these couple of stories throughout the years where

882
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: there's been some unfortunate incidents where carbon monoxide has claimed lives.

883
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: You know, people are in a rental place or in

884
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 1: a hotel room. Now, I don't think this is a

885
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 1: prevalent thing. I don't think it's a major issue, but

886
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: it has happened, and it's happened enough, or when I've

887
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: stayed in a rental I'm like, Okay, I want to

888
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: have one of these things in there, because you never know.

889
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: And so I tested this new one, which is a

890
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:53,240
Speaker 1: digital one. It's small, it's compact, it's got a digital readout.

891
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 1: And the wild thing is I plug this thing in

892
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 1: or actually it's it's a cordless so I didn't have

893
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 1: to plug it in, but I charged and the first

894
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: night I'm in my hotel room, the thing is given

895
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 1: a reading of thirty, like thirty ppm of COO and

896
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, uh, oh, what the heck, what am I

897
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: supposed to do? It was ten o'clock at night. I

898
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: turned this thing on and I'm like, great, my room

899
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: is filled with carbon monoxide. That's not good, now, I

900
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 1: figured at the end of the day. So I ended

901
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 1: up putting on putting on my shoes, and walking downstairs

902
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: in my pajamas at this hotel and I went outside

903
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: with this little carbon dioxide detector. I'm like, let me

904
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: see if it changes to zero. And it did change

905
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: to like a little bit less, but it was still

906
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 1: a little bit on the high end. But I was like,

907
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 1: you know what, this thing has an alarm on it.

908
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 1: If it's if it's a problem, it's going to alarm.

909
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: So clearly it thinks it's under the threshold, which I

910
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: think is about fifty. Even though you don't want to

911
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: be in any sort of COO exposure for a long time.

912
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 1: But anyway, so it finally worked out. It was fine.

913
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: I survived my first night of sleep. I was like, well,

914
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 1: that's it. That's it for rich On Tech. I'm to

915
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 1: go to sleep and quietly just never wake up all

916
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: because I've decided to not listen to this carbon monoxide detector.

917
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 1: But for the rest of the week, the odd thing

918
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:09,760
Speaker 1: was there was no reading in my room over zero.

919
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: So I don't know if something was going on that

920
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: night or what, but it did have a reading. But

921
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: this thing's cool because it's got the carbon monoxide reading,

922
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: it's got the temperature, the humidity and the air quality

923
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 1: and so it's all in one and it's really really great.

924
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: So anyway, it's forty bucks. If you want to see

925
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: if it goes on sale. You don't need to buy

926
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 1: it today, but put it in your cart. See if

927
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: it goes on sale for Prime Day, because you know,

945
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 10: Bye, Rich, thank you for taking my call.

946
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: Absolutely. What's going on?

947
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 9: So?

948
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 10: I have a printer model HP Office Jet Pro okay

949
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 10: six eight three zero. I know it's an old printer,

950
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 10: but I really really need a printer right now related

951
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 10: to work. So I have searched Google on how to

952
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 10: print head, how to clean the print head. So I

953
00:47:53,600 --> 00:48:01,399
Speaker 10: did follow the directions one and then uh I let

954
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 10: the printer rest dry for about thirty minutes and I

955
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 10: was successful. But then after another couple of hours, maybe

956
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 10: I wanted to print again, and so the print head

957
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 10: error appeared again.

958
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 1: So what First off, this is an ink chet printer, right, Yes?

959
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 1: Are you using genuine HP ink Chet cartridges? Yes? I am?

960
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: And are they old or new?

961
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 10: They're new? Actually I just got them and I made

962
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 10: sure that they're not expired.

963
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 1: Okay, And so when you put these in, have you

964
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 1: did you go through? How did you clean this?

965
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 10: So I followed the print head cleaning from Google, you

966
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 10: know for HP Office Jet Pro. I looked at the

967
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 10: model and then I I detached the or I unplugged.

968
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 10: I unplugged so I was able to move the print

969
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:16,480
Speaker 10: head from side to side. And I've placed the paper

970
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:22,760
Speaker 10: towel underneath the print head, and then I flushed each

971
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 10: port of the ink, the color ones and the black port.

972
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 10: I flushed it with a print head cleaning kit that

973
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 10: I bought separately from Amazon.

974
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 1: Well, typically these little printer as far as I understand,

975
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: the print head is like on the cartridge itself. So

976
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,280
Speaker 1: if I feel like there's something bigger going on here,

977
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,720
Speaker 1: have you done the have you done like the built

978
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 1: in sort of system cleaning where you go into like

979
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 1: set up printer maintenance and then clean print head. Have

980
00:49:58,440 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 1: you done that?

981
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 5: Yes?

982
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 10: I tried that, but it wouldn't show me you know

983
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 10: there it's it's better when I see the picture and yeah,

984
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:15,440
Speaker 10: and so I I've done that. But and then even

985
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 10: if I do it, it doesn't print anyway.

986
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:21,800
Speaker 1: So what's the what's the error on the actual machine

987
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:23,280
Speaker 1: saying yes?

988
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 10: On the actual machine?

989
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:28,280
Speaker 1: And what's the error saying clean the print heads? Yes?

990
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 10: And then it keeps uh giving an error message your

991
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 10: print print head is uh is I forgot what the

992
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 10: message was. But it needs a pension. Your print head

993
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 10: needs a pension.

994
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 11: Okay, So I.

995
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 10: I probably will try cleaning it again, but then I

996
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 10: probably would have to ask your suggestion if I have

997
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:56,320
Speaker 10: to buy another another printer.

998
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,320
Speaker 1: How old this printer? How old is this printer?

999
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 10: Ten years?

1000
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 1: Ten years old? Okay? That okay, that could be the issue.

1001
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,879
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I think that a printer should last

1002
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 1: ten years. I don't know what's going on with this printer.

1003
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure I've encountered this error on mine.

1004
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 1: I would think that replacing the cartridges. And I'm looking

1005
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 1: at the manual cleaning. I mean it says like for

1006
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: effective manual print head cleaning, gather these supplies lint free

1007
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 1: microfiber cloths, distilled water, shallow dish, printer cleaning solution, rubber gloves,

1008
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:32,879
Speaker 1: paper towels. Sounds like you're doing surgery on this printer here.

1009
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it seems like a lot. I would say

1010
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:39,800
Speaker 1: I wouldn't spend any more money on this printer to

1011
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:43,919
Speaker 1: fix this or to try this, but I would other

1012
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 1: than following their printing. You know, they're they're kind of

1013
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 1: like built in print head cleaning process. It says you

1014
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 1: might need to do it up to three to four times,

1015
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 1: so that's the only thing I can think of. There's

1016
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:00,040
Speaker 1: also a printer diagnostic test. This might help with the

1017
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 1: HP Print and Scan Doctor, So that might be something

1018
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:06,359
Speaker 1: you look into and maybe that can help you out.

1019
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 1: It's called hp Print and Scan Doctor for Windows, and

1020
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: that might be a way to see what's going on

1021
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: with this printer. Otherwise, you can take this printer into

1022
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: a place like you break I fixed, and you can

1023
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 1: get them to give you like a free estimate on

1024
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 1: how much it might cost to fix this thing. But

1025
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 1: I wouldn't really spend any extra money on it. If

1026
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:29,760
Speaker 1: I were you, I would just go with the brother

1027
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 1: laser jet printer if you need me in depends if

1028
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 1: you need color or not, but I would just go

1029
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 1: with the Brother laser jet. There's a I'll link up

1030
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: the model number on the website. Rich on tech dot tv.

1031
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,360
Speaker 1: But that's probably what you want to do, is just

1032
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 1: get something simple that's inexpensive, because ten years is a

1033
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 1: pretty good run for a printer, but I'd like for

1034
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 1: it to last longer. But if it's not working and

1035
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: the print head cleaning is just not it sounds like

1036
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 1: you've done everything you need to do to get these

1037
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 1: print heads cleaned and it's just not giving you that

1038
00:52:57,840 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: error free message. The only other thing I would think

1039
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 1: to do, and you might want to try this, is

1040
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 1: do a reset, like a factory reset of this printer.

1041
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 1: You can go into settings and in the settings it'll

1042
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: say like factory reset printer. You might want to try that,

1043
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 1: and that's going to clear all the settings and that's

1044
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:17,399
Speaker 1: going to bring this thing back to factory. You're gonna

1045
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,239
Speaker 1: have to reset it up, but that might clear out

1046
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 1: that error message. Good question, Lorna, that's a tricky one

1047

00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 12: What I and my entire team were huge BlackBerry lovers,

1074
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 12: you know, massively passionate about it, and so you know,

1075
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 12: this is something that we've wanted to do for a

1076
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:21,400
Speaker 12: really long time.

1077
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 1: Now, that's the interesting thing. So clearly you did your homework.

1078
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 1: Did you find that there was a need or a

1079
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 1: want for people to go back to these physical keyboards

1080
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 1: because it's been a while since we've had them.

1081
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,359
Speaker 12: Yeah, it has, and a lot of us have been

1082
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:38,360
Speaker 12: in this space for a number of years now, and

1083
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 12: we've always known that there is this nascent demand for

1084
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 12: people who really missed their buttons. I mean, one of

1085
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 12: our co founders, he's known online as crackbree ke Heavin, and

1086
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 12: he's the guy who always gets emailed every single week.

1087
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 12: Do you know where the BlackBerry's coming out? Do you

1088
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 12: know when the next keyboard phone is coming out? And

1089
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 12: so we know that there's always a demand there for it.

1090
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 1: So who do you think this is for? Like, do

1091
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 1: you think this is for someone that just likes the

1092
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,799
Speaker 1: old days of their BlackBerry keyboard or do they you know, like,

1093
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 1: is it just to get work done? Like what do

1094
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:11,359
Speaker 1: you think this is? Like what's the use case scenario here?

1095
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, really good question.

1096
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 12: We've been on the market for a year now and

1097
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 12: we've done a number of post purchase surveys just to

1098
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,960
Speaker 12: get an idea of who's using the products, and it's

1099
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 12: actually a lot different to what we initially thought. So

1100
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 12: you do get your I guess you'd say you're kind

1101
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 12: of business people who really miss their blackberries. You know,

1102
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 12: you're kind of ex Wall Street or Wall Street banker

1103
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,279
Speaker 12: type people who you know, missed back braze.

1104
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 9: And use this.

1105
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 12: But actually we've also found that the demographic is really broad,

1106
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 12: so anybody from you know, entrepreneurs, people who kind of

1107
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 12: work for themselves, you just like to do stuff on

1108
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 12: the go. Also to students, people in college, you know,

1109
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 12: they're taking their devices with their clicks into their class

1110
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 12: and they're using it to record that their lectures.

1111
00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 1: Now, how hard is it to get used to typing

1112
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 1: on a keyboard again after years of you know, training

1113
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 1: on a touch screen.

1114
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:05,879
Speaker 12: That's a that's a really good question. It's it does

1115
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:08,840
Speaker 12: feel a little bit alien at first. We say, it

1116
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:12,880
Speaker 12: takes around kind of you know, between two days to

1117
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 12: two weeks to get used to having buttons under your

1118
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:18,120
Speaker 12: thumbs again. But once you're there, you're you're flying and

1119
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 12: it feels so good.

1120
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 1: So what has been the reaction? I mean, I know,

1121
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:23,919
Speaker 1: you guys are in best Buy, right like, that's that's

1122
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 1: pretty huge for a tech gadget.

1123
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, we are.

1124
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 12: We we were actually in We were in best Buy

1125
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 12: for over a year now. We started off with them

1126
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 12: middle of last year. You know, great great partners, and

1127
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 12: we've got our own little space and about two hundred

1128
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 12: best Buy stores in the US in the theater district space.

1129
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 9: And you know, it's been super successful.

1130
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 12: People have been, you know, going there trying the products

1131
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 12: in their hands and then and then supporting it to

1132
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 12: the extent we're actually this year we launched a new

1133
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 12: product called most roller Raser clicks and Best Buy for

1134
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 12: when they promoted them the first phone, the first most

1135
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:05,959
Speaker 12: roller razer for this year, they actually gave a free

1136
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 12: clicks away to.

1137
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 9: Every customer that bought a corresponding razor phone.

1138
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's pretty cool. How much do these keyboards

1139
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:14,600
Speaker 1: typically cost.

1140
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 12: They are one three nine dollars for the regular size

1141
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:20,640
Speaker 12: and one hundred and fifty nine and for the larger size.

1142
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 1: And what phones do you have them for? I know

1143
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 1: you started out with the iPhone obviously that's you know,

1144
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 1: a good place to start, but you've branched out, So

1145
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: tell me what phones you have them for now.

1146
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, we did.

1147
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 12: We started off doing iPhone fourteen and fifteen. When iPhone

1148
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 12: fifteen launched in September, we may go on for that

1149
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 12: product as well. This year, we've also made it for

1150
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 12: the Google Pixel nine nine prob and for the most

1151
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 12: roller Razor Flip and Adrian.

1152
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 1: Do you think that because of the success of these

1153
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 1: keyboards there will be a company that makes smartphones that

1154
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 1: brings back the physical keyboard that built in.

1155
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 9: That is such a good question, Rich.

1156
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 12: I don't know whether you're seeing what's going on at

1157
00:58:57,480 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 12: the moment online on TikTok, there's a lot of stuff

1158
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 12: about BlackBerry and you know, either bringing back BlackBerry or

1159
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,280
Speaker 12: companies out there that are trying to restore all Blackberries.

1160
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 12: We know of projects that have tried in the past

1161
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:13,440
Speaker 12: and that are looking to do this, and so we

1162
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 12: know the demand is there. We know that there is,

1163
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 12: and ultimately, I think a lot of people who you know, yeah,

1164
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 12: they like their they're like an iPhone with a keyboard

1165
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 12: case on it, but some really do want to have

1166
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 12: just a phone like a Blackberries have experience again.

1167
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:30,680
Speaker 1: And I was able to I know, mister Mobile obviously,

1168
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 1: Michael Fisher one of your other is he a co

1169
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:33,800
Speaker 1: founder with the company.

1170
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 9: Yes, Michael is a co founder. He's he's been with

1171
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 9: us on the journey since you know, really early days.

1172
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 12: He's had a lot of input into you know, everything

1173
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 12: we do, from you know, keyboard designs to user experience.

1174
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 12: You know, he just knows he knows the products, not

1175
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 12: just from a keyboard, addective smartphones as well. You know,

1176
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 12: he's probably reviewed every single keyboard smartphone that's ever been

1177
00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 12: produced and been released to market. So he's such a

1178
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 12: such a world of knowledge, you know, and such a

1179
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 12: genuine guy as well.

1180
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 9: He's a really really good person to have on the team.

1181
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:07,400
Speaker 7: He is.

1182
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 1: It's funny because I go to a lot of events

1183
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,280
Speaker 1: with him, and he always has the most friends around

1184
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 1: him at every event, So that's a that's a good

1185
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:16,840
Speaker 1: sign for him. But you know, here's the thing, So

1186
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: I tried this out at CES. This was a couple

1187
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 1: of years ago, I think when it was first launching.

1188
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 1: It does add some bulk to the phone, So explain

1189
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:26,479
Speaker 1: that aspect, because is it a case. Is it something

1190
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 1: you put on and off when you need it, or

1191
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 1: is it something you leave on all the time.

1192
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 10: Yeah, we don't.

1193
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 12: Really tell people how to use it, but what we

1194
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 12: found from our users is that most people leave it

1195
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:40,479
Speaker 12: on all the time. Now, it does add a little

1196
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 12: bit of bulk, and you know, it does stick out

1197
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 12: of your pockets. You know, we have a lot of

1198
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:48,920
Speaker 12: our female customers saying it doesn't fit into a handbag.

1199
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 12: We've tried to make it as small as possible for

1200
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 12: kind of the product as it is today, but we're

1201
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 12: continuing to innovade, you know, look at how we can improve,

1202
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 12: even if it's shaving minimey to new product form factors.

1203
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 12: You know, we're always listening to our customers and we

1204
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 12: want to try and make the best keyboard experience out

1205
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 12: there for people.

1206
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 1: All right, is called clicks Adrian, What do you find

1207
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 1: fun about all this? I assume this is not your

1208
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 1: first sort of startup or thing that you've done before.

1209
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 1: What do you find fun about all this stuff.

1210
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 12: Yeah correct, Yeah, not one of my first roudio here.

1211
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 12: But I love making products. I think we we, we

1212
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 12: and a lot of the team we come from a

1213
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:28,960
Speaker 12: place where we just love making physical products. We're really

1214
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 12: passionate about them. We love seeing people use the product.

1215
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:34,640
Speaker 12: I mean, I was in a I was in an

1216
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 12: event last week. Somebody came up to me and he said, clicks,

1217
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 12: I know you guys. I was in a board meeting

1218
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 12: last week and Linda Yakarino, who's on my board, showed up.

1219
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:47,640
Speaker 12: She put she sat on the set, she sat down,

1220
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 12: took her phone out, put it on the table and

1221
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 12: I had your product on that and she started telling

1222
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 12: you all about it.

1223
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 9: And this was such an amazing story.

1224
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 12: And to hear things like that, and to know that

1225
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,640
Speaker 12: your product is being used by people, whether they're fortune

1226
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 12: ten CEOs, whether they are you know, college students, whether

1227
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:08,400
Speaker 12: it's somebody who has you know, some kind of you know,

1228
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 12: hearing or site visibility issue and they can't, you know,

1229
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:14,960
Speaker 12: use a phone properly, and now they can. You know,

1230
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:16,560
Speaker 12: all of these things I think really give us a

1231
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:18,560
Speaker 12: kick to making the products that we do.

1232
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 1: Wait, that's interesting, So is there an accessibility aspect to

1233
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 1: these keyboards.

1234
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:27,040
Speaker 12: Well, I think you know, we didn't, we didn't go

1235
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:30,640
Speaker 12: into it deep ourselves initially. What we found is that

1236
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 12: visually impaired people, We've had feedback from people that have

1237
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:38,640
Speaker 12: Parkinson's for example, who were unable to really use a

1238
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 12: touchscreen very well, have now been able to really navigate

1239
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 12: you know, keyboards and actually input into a phone. And

1240
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 12: that's and that was a really nice story when we

1241
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 12: started hearing some of these things.

1242
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,600
Speaker 1: That's incredible. Yeah, it's it's I've I've found that with

1243
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 1: a lot of tech products that they don't set out

1244
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:56,960
Speaker 1: to help people, you know, necessarily, like they don't think

1245
01:02:56,960 --> 01:02:59,560
Speaker 1: about that aspect. But of course as people use these

1246
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:02,400
Speaker 1: things and they find these aspects that really benefit them,

1247
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 1: Like I'm thinking of specifically the ray band glasses, Like

1248
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:07,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people in the accessibility community were like,

1249
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:09,200
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, these are so great for this, this

1250
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:11,600
Speaker 1: and this, and I just think that's a that's a

1251
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:14,200
Speaker 1: neat side effect of all this stuff.

1252
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:17,320
Speaker 9: Agreed, Yeah, no, Agrede. I mean, I've got a great story, right.

1253
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 12: I was before we actually launched the products. I was

1254
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:22,919
Speaker 12: in the Apple Store in the UK. This was about

1255
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:24,800
Speaker 12: three months before launch and I had to buy an iPhone.

1256
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 12: I was like, we would have an iPhone to the team,

1257
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:27,240
Speaker 12: I'm just going to buy iPhones.

1258
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 9: So I went.

1259
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 12: I went to the Apple store. The lady serving me

1260
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:34,360
Speaker 12: was visually impaired, and I was so impressed how she

1261
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 12: was navigating through iOS. And you know when you go

1262
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:39,720
Speaker 12: to Apple stores and you purchase something, they all use

1263
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 12: their iPhones to you know, to make the payments, make

1264
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:45,840
Speaker 12: the transaction. She was using a combination of an AirPod

1265
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:49,760
Speaker 12: and audio cues to navigate through with the menu system.

1266
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:51,880
Speaker 12: And I kind of let her finish what she was doing,

1267
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 12: and I said, oh, you know, I'm really impressed how

1268
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 12: you're navigating through iOS and how you're doing this transaction

1269
01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:58,960
Speaker 12: For me. I just want to let you know, you know,

1270
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 12: the reason I'm buying the phone, and you know, I

1271
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 12: let out and I said, look, we're developing this product.

1272
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:05,960
Speaker 9: I think you might be you know, you might find

1273
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 9: it interesting.

1274
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 12: And I put her fingers on it and she touched

1275
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:12,000
Speaker 12: the keys and immediately she got in she was like, wow,

1276
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 12: it's it's the keyboards and and you know, her reaction

1277
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 12: and her face was like you know it was. It

1278
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 12: really touched me. And you know, to me, I thought,

1279
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:22,520
Speaker 12: you know what, this is something that the world really needs.

1280
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 12: You know, it might not be something that everybody will

1281
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:27,360
Speaker 12: out there take out, take and grab, but I think,

1282
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:29,760
Speaker 12: you know, there is definitely a really strong community out

1283
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 12: there and people that want a product like this.

1284
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:34,400
Speaker 9: So we're just going to keep keep growing and keep

1285
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:35,600
Speaker 9: scaling amazing.

1286
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:39,440
Speaker 1: The website is clicks dot tech. Clicks dot tech if

1287

Speaker 1: They've gotten for the iPhone, the Pixel, the razor. Any

1289
01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 1: any thought about Samsung in the future, is that maybe

1290
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:49,120
Speaker 1: going to happen.

1291
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 12: We we thought about it, you know, I think we

1292
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:55,320
Speaker 12: listened to our community and you know, it's who's going

1293
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:57,920
Speaker 12: to shout loudest. You know, we're also a growing business

1294
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:00,360
Speaker 12: and we want to scale at the right page. We

1295
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 12: don't want to do We've learned I think a lot

1296
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 12: of lessons in the last year. It's very easy to

1297
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 12: do too much too quickly. And Samson's are you know,

1298
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 12: beast in itself in terms of the different phone models,

1299
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:15,120
Speaker 12: just like Apple an iPhone. So we'll we'll get to

1300
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:16,280
Speaker 12: it eventually, okay.

01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 11: Hell, Hi, Hi, I'm gonna can you hear me?

1357
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:00,240
Speaker 6: Okay?

1358
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, you kind of broke up a little bit,

1359
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 1: but go ahead, okay.

1360
01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 10: Yes.

1361
01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:07,120
Speaker 11: I have an acer Chromebook.

1362
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:08,200
Speaker 7: It's about a year old.

1363
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:11,720
Speaker 11: I love it. I do genealogy and I use a

1364
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:17,639
Speaker 11: split screen. And what's happening with my computer is it'll

1365
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:21,519
Speaker 11: just start spinning like it's not connected to the internet.

1366
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:25,000
Speaker 11: But my internet is very strong. All the other devices

1367
01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 11: are fine. And the only solution is to turn it

1368
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:33,480
Speaker 11: off and to turn it back on, and that gets annoying.

1369
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:35,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, and I didn't.

1370
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:37,439
Speaker 11: Know if there was any way of fixing it. But

1371
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 11: since prime days are coming up, I also can get

1372
01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:44,240
Speaker 11: a new Chromebook like that.

1373
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:44,800
Speaker 5: They're light.

1374
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:49,479
Speaker 1: You just got this a year ago. We're not buying

1375
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:50,080
Speaker 1: a new computer.

1376
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 9: This.

1377
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:52,519
Speaker 1: The computer should last more than a year.

1378
01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:55,000
Speaker 6: So I used.

1379
01:08:56,840 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 11: It's very heavily.

1380
01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:01,080
Speaker 1: Used, so well, that shouldn't like effect. So here's the deal. Number.

1381
01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:02,920
Speaker 1: There could be number one. There could be you said

1382
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:07,160
Speaker 1: this a Chromebook, right right, So there could be the

1383
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:10,720
Speaker 1: fact that you know, the Wi Fi chromebooks are not

1384
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 1: necessarily known for being the most powerful computers out there,

1385
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:15,880
Speaker 1: so the components in them are not going to be

1386
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:19,479
Speaker 1: of the highest quality necessarily. It doesn't mean that they're not,

1387
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:21,759
Speaker 1: but it just means that the Wi Fi chip inside

1388
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 1: this computer may not be as strong as some of

1389
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:26,160
Speaker 1: the other devices you were talking about. Now, I test

1390
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:28,719
Speaker 1: a lot of devices, and believe me, there is a

1391
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:32,879
Speaker 1: wide range of Wi Fi reception on the various devices

1392
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:36,160
Speaker 1: that I test. Like, for instance, Samsung phones have probably

1393
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 1: the best Wi Fi and cellular reception out of any

1394
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:41,080
Speaker 1: device that I test. It's just the way they make them.

1395
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:44,400
Speaker 1: Pixel probably has the worst Wi Fi reception. And that's

1396
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 1: also Google by the way, and so you know, an

1397
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 1: iPhone somewhere in between. So I think the first thing

1398
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:55,000
Speaker 1: is has this been happening since you first got this Chromebook? No? No, okay,

1399
01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:58,360
Speaker 1: So it could be that this thing is, like you said,

1400
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:01,000
Speaker 1: it's used a lot, but a year a very small

1401
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:02,920
Speaker 1: amount of time for a computer. So what I would

1402
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 1: do is the neat thing about chromebooks is that you

1403
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:10,760
Speaker 1: can factory reset them without losing the data because it's

1404
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:13,160
Speaker 1: all basically done in the cloud. Like this, this computer

1405
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:14,800
Speaker 1: is just something that you sign in with your Google

1406
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:19,320
Speaker 1: account and you're browsing the web. Correct, yes, uh huh?

1407
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:22,800
Speaker 11: And is it does it save all the passwords? I

1408
01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:23,840
Speaker 11: have a password saver?

1409
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're you have it saved in Google Passwords. Yeah, yeah,

1410
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 1: those will all be in there. So that's the beauty

1411
01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:31,439
Speaker 1: of this. So what I would do is just to

1412
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:34,280
Speaker 1: save you and probably get you another year of this

1413
01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:36,439
Speaker 1: computer at least. I mean, you want a computer to

1414
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:39,720
Speaker 1: last anywhere from four to you know, eight years. But

1415
01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:43,040
Speaker 1: what I would do is there's a thing called power wash.

1416
01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:45,920
Speaker 1: So have you heard of that on the chromebook? Okay,

1417
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:50,920
Speaker 1: so you can basically powerwash this computer, which is a

1418
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:53,560
Speaker 1: factory reset of the entire computer, so it's going to

1419
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:57,360
Speaker 1: be back to the when you open this thing up

1420
01:10:57,400 --> 01:10:59,439
Speaker 1: for the first time. So that's what I would do,

1421
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:02,679
Speaker 1: is what called the powerwash. I'll put the instructions on

1422
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:05,160
Speaker 1: my website in the show notes rich on tech dot TV.

1423
01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:08,920
Speaker 1: But basically, you sign out of your Chromebook, you press

1424
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:16,040
Speaker 1: and hold control alt shift are, and then you press restart. Okay, okay,

1425
01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 1: so you sign out control alt shift are, select restart,

1426
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:21,800
Speaker 1: and then you'll see a box and in that box

1427
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 1: you'll see powerwash and that basically the name implies what

1428
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:27,960
Speaker 1: it's doing. It's giving your computer a power washing, which

1429
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 1: means it's going to clear out all the junk, clear

1430
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:33,280
Speaker 1: out any settings that you changed, it's going to delete

1431
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:35,320
Speaker 1: all the Wi Fi networks that you've connected to, and

1432
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:37,680
Speaker 1: it's going to reset your Chromebook. And then once you

1433
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:39,760
Speaker 1: reset it, you can open it up, sign back in

1434
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:42,720
Speaker 1: with your Google account. Everything should be there and then

1435
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:45,200
Speaker 1: hopefully the problem is fixed and you won't have this

1436
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:47,599
Speaker 1: issue anymore, and that'll also get rid of any little

1437
01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:50,559
Speaker 1: lingering issues that might be happening. The only thing is

1438
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:52,240
Speaker 1: you have to know is that ninety nine percent of

1439
01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:53,880
Speaker 1: what you're doing on the chromebook is in the cloud.

1440
01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:56,880
Speaker 1: Do you have any sort of oh, we got to go,

1441
01:11:57,720 --> 01:11:59,600
Speaker 1: but that that should be just fine just back up

1442
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:02,639
Speaker 1: any fire that might be on an external drive. Great question, Daisy,

1443
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:07,960
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for the call. Welcome back to rich

1444
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:10,519
Speaker 1: on Tech Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you, talking

1445
01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 1: technology at eight eight eight rich one oh one eight

1446
01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:20,360
Speaker 1: eight eight seven four to two, four to one zero one.

1447
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:25,040
Speaker 1: Kim is standing by, get you on the air. Bobo's dancing.

1448
01:12:25,760 --> 01:12:29,640
Speaker 1: I'm just doing my thing here on the mic. The

1449
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:33,040
Speaker 1: website for the show rich on tech dot TV. If

1450
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:35,320
Speaker 1: you're not following me on social media, check me out

1451
01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:38,559
Speaker 1: on Instagram. Got a couple of posts of note. If

1452
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:40,840
Speaker 1: you want to see a trifolding phone, I've got that.

1453
01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:45,479
Speaker 1: A watch that has earbuds built into it. That's kind

1454
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:47,600
Speaker 1: of cool. I think it's only available in Mexico, but

1455
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:50,400
Speaker 1: it's still fun to look at. And then a couple

1456
01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:53,840
Speaker 1: I got my number one hotel hack number one. I

1457
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:58,400
Speaker 1: am sharing all my secrets. By the way, I mentioned

1458
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:01,000
Speaker 1: that WhatsApp is getting at so you probably see a

1459
01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of headlines about that. The thing

1460
01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:07,719
Speaker 1: is look all these companies of Meta, you know, Meta

1461
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 1: owns WhatsApp. They bought them. They got to make some

1462
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 1: money on it. So this is what they're doing. They're

1463
01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:15,599
Speaker 1: going to put ads in the updates tab. I never

1464
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:17,720
Speaker 1: even looked at the updates tab until I just looked

1465
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:21,320
Speaker 1: at this. It is basically like the status update area.

1466
01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:23,400
Speaker 1: So that's where you're going to start seeing ads if

1467
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:26,080
Speaker 1: you're looking at that section. Most people, I think, are

1468
01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 1: looking at the chats, which is what I use it for.

1469
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:32,960
Speaker 1: WhatsApp was was instrumental in Mexico because there's you know,

1470
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:34,680
Speaker 1: ten or fifteen of us on the trip, and we

1471
01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:37,519
Speaker 1: all have different phones, this and that, and I said, hey,

1472
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:39,920
Speaker 1: can we just use WhatsApp. Let's just make a WhatsApp group.

1473
01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 1: And it's perfect because everyone is It's a level playing field.

1474
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:47,040
Speaker 1: WhatsApp works the same on every single device, So you

1475
01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:49,760
Speaker 1: want to send a big picture, video link, whatever, no

1476
01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:52,200
Speaker 1: matter what phone you have, you can use it. And

1477
01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 1: so that's what people love. I mean, outside the US,

1478
01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:56,519
Speaker 1: WhatsApp is huge. I mean everyone uses it. Hearing the

1479
01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 1: US people use it, but you know, I message is

1480
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:02,960
Speaker 1: really kind of the king of everything. Sadly, I say, sadly,

1481
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 1: because again I like cross platform applications, and yes, I

1482
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:12,599
Speaker 1: message has gotten a lot better with RCS versus you know,

1483
01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:15,519
Speaker 1: exchanging messages between iPhone and Android has gotten a lot

1484
01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:19,040
Speaker 1: better because of RCS. But still people are not I Message,

1485
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:20,960
Speaker 1: and people get all bent out of shape. Oh you're

1486
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:25,280
Speaker 1: making the group green or whatever. That's nonsense to me

1487
01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:28,360
Speaker 1: in a world of technology that should work equally well

1488
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:31,920
Speaker 1: for everyone anyway. Besides the point, so your personal chats,

1489
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:34,760
Speaker 1: your messages will remain ad free and most importantly, end

1490
01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:38,439
Speaker 1: to end encryptied, which is really what WhatsApp is all about.

1491
01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:40,599
Speaker 1: No one can tap into those messages that you sent

1492
01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:45,000
Speaker 1: on WhatsApp. No one, no government, no, not even Meta themselves.

1493
01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:47,919
Speaker 1: So that's why people like it because it is private

1494
01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:54,120
Speaker 1: and encrypted by default. Let's go to Sherry in Orange County. Sharry,

1495
01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:54,840
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich.

1496
01:14:56,160 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 5: Oh Rich, nice to meet you.

1497
01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:01,599
Speaker 1: Well, nice to meet you you too via phone.

1498
01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 5: Okay, so my question is kind of a interesting, Uh dylmma,

1499
01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:12,679
Speaker 5: I have I've retired almost three years ago.

1500
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:16,400
Speaker 10: Congratulations, thank you, and I have three issues.

1501
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:19,759
Speaker 5: First off, on my iPhone, go in and I'm trying

1502
01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:21,800
Speaker 5: to enter in my email address. It goes to my

1503
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:24,920
Speaker 5: work email address, and I've looked all over and I

1504
01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:27,280
Speaker 5: can't figure out how to remove that. It's like an

1505
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:28,000
Speaker 5: instant thing.

1506
01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:30,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's an instant thing.

1507
01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:33,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, like you know, you you start typing it in

1508
01:15:33,479 --> 01:15:36,720
Speaker 5: and a little auto we put in your email address.

1509
01:15:36,400 --> 01:15:39,080
Speaker 1: Oh auto fill, yes, yeah, go to.

1510
01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:42,479
Speaker 5: My work email. And then then the next two are

1511
01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:45,679
Speaker 5: that I set up the Facebook for my work years

1512
01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:48,960
Speaker 5: and years ago, and I also set up Instagram, and

1513
01:15:49,040 --> 01:15:52,960
Speaker 5: I guess I'm the main admin on it, and the

1514
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:57,160
Speaker 5: girl that took over can't remove me because I'm I

1515
01:15:57,160 --> 01:15:58,320
Speaker 5: guess still working there and.

1516
01:15:58,320 --> 01:15:59,240
Speaker 2: Superior to her.

1517
01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:02,360
Speaker 5: But I don't know anyway. I need to figure out

1518
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:03,960
Speaker 5: how to do that too. I know I probably have

1519
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:07,960
Speaker 5: to make her the main admin too and then delete me,

1520
01:16:08,120 --> 01:16:09,080
Speaker 5: but I can't find.

1521
01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:09,479
Speaker 2: How to do it.

1522
01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:13,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, that's that the admin thing is, uh is? Yeah,

1523
01:16:13,240 --> 01:16:14,760
Speaker 1: I got to look into that because I'm not sure

1524
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:17,200
Speaker 1: I've got I've got my wife as an admin on

1525
01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:20,000
Speaker 1: my page, and I gotta I gotta see if you

1526
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:23,120
Speaker 1: can switch that. But let's let's tackle the the autofil first.

1527
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:27,320
Speaker 1: I think where that's coming from is your There's two

1528
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:29,280
Speaker 1: places that you can potentially do that first off, in

1529
01:16:29,320 --> 01:16:32,160
Speaker 1: your contacts if you go to your con If you

1530
01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:35,280
Speaker 1: go to your contacts and you go to yourself, which

1531
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:38,479
Speaker 1: is my card up at the top, you should delete

1532
01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 1: your work email out of there.

1533
01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:43,439
Speaker 5: Under my card?

1534
01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:44,240
Speaker 9: Did you say yes?

1535
01:16:44,360 --> 01:16:48,320
Speaker 1: Under my card? And so that's that's probably where it's

1536
01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:51,360
Speaker 1: populating that from the other place you can go is

1537
01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:56,520
Speaker 1: into settings and there is a keyboard. Let's see here, keyboard,

1538
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:02,880
Speaker 1: let's see so is your is your email address in there?

1539
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:07,439
Speaker 5: Well? I had like three emails in there, but it

1540
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:09,360
Speaker 5: always goes to my work one first.

1541
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:11,960
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so I would I would delete the work

1542
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 1: one out of there and just that way that that

1543
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:16,559
Speaker 1: should probably fix that. But I'm going to look up

1544
01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:22,600
Speaker 1: under the keyboard on your computer there is reset keyboard dictionary,

1545
01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:26,080
Speaker 1: So I would tap that and see if that helps.

1546
01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:29,599
Speaker 1: Because what happened is if you if you selected that

1547
01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:33,000
Speaker 1: auto complete a couple of times throughout the years, your

1548
01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:35,880
Speaker 1: iPhone just learns that that's what you're using, and they

1549
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:37,679
Speaker 1: kind of put that there at the top because it's

1550
01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:39,400
Speaker 1: it's just what they're doing.

1551
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:42,960
Speaker 5: If I delete them all or delete before I do that,

1552
01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:44,360
Speaker 5: am I deleting everything? Then?

1553
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:46,120
Speaker 1: Well? Do you have a lot of stuff in your

1554
01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 1: custom keyboard. I don't think you do. I mean it

1555
01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:51,679
Speaker 1: probably chance, but I'm just wondering chances are you don't.

1556
01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 1: I don't. It's just basically anything that the keyboard has

1557
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:55,840
Speaker 1: learned over the years, like if you corrected someone's name

1558
01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:57,120
Speaker 1: or something like that. I don't think it's a big

1559
01:17:57,160 --> 01:17:59,479
Speaker 1: deal to start over on that. If that's my first

1560
01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:02,479
Speaker 1: first start with the contact Go to your contact card

1561
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:04,760
Speaker 1: and delete out your work email address, and I think

1562
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:07,240
Speaker 1: that should fix it. Restart your phone and see if

1563
01:18:07,240 --> 01:18:08,640
Speaker 1: that helps the next time you go to type in

1564
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:13,240
Speaker 1: an email. For what it's worth, Sherry, uh. I. For

1565
01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:17,120
Speaker 1: some reason, the only email address my iPhone does not

1566
01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:19,720
Speaker 1: auto complete is my email address. It does every other

1567
01:18:19,720 --> 01:18:23,080
Speaker 1: email address in the world except mine, and I'm not

1568
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:25,559
Speaker 1: sure why that's doing that. So I've got it in

1569
01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 1: my contact let me just maybe, you know what, let

1570
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:28,960
Speaker 1: me just make sure it's in my contact card now

1571
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:31,719
Speaker 1: that I've got you here. Yeah, I've got it right there,

1572
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:34,280
Speaker 1: and so I its just for some reason, it auto

1573
01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:37,920
Speaker 1: completes every other email address in the world except for mine.

1574
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:42,320
Speaker 1: So that's it. Okay. Number two, change the admin on

1575
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:43,640
Speaker 1: a Facebook page.

1576
01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:44,080
Speaker 2: So.

1577
01:18:46,439 --> 01:18:48,719
Speaker 5: Change it on Facebook. Is it also changing on Instagram

1578
01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:50,440
Speaker 5: or do you go both places?

1579
01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:53,479
Speaker 1: Uh? That I am not sure about. Usually with the

1580
01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:58,439
Speaker 1: with the if their accounts are linked. Are the accounts linked, Yeah, yeah,

1581
01:18:58,439 --> 01:19:01,120
Speaker 1: then it typically should change it on both. So what

1582
01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:03,639
Speaker 1: I would do is, I think now I'm just kind

1583
01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:05,960
Speaker 1: of imagining how you would do this, is that you

1584
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:09,280
Speaker 1: would name the new person as an administrator. Have you

1585
01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:09,639
Speaker 1: done that?

1586
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:14,639
Speaker 5: I haven't looked at it recently, but I probably did.

1587
01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:20,040
Speaker 5: But she said she wasn't the like maybe she was

1588
01:19:20,080 --> 01:19:20,840
Speaker 5: a contributor.

1589
01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:24,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would set her as the set her as

1590
01:19:24,160 --> 01:19:26,760
Speaker 1: the main admin or set her as an admin, and

1591
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:28,639
Speaker 1: then if you can set her as the main admin

1592
01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:31,320
Speaker 1: and then you can go through and have her I

1593
01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:33,599
Speaker 1: think she might have to delete you so.

1594
01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:37,400
Speaker 13: And she said you couldn't go well, right.

1595
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:39,400
Speaker 1: But she might not have been a complete admin, So

1596
01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:41,320
Speaker 1: I would I would go into there and check your

1597
01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:45,360
Speaker 1: Facebook settings. That's going to be under settings and then

1598
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:50,040
Speaker 1: page roll. So let's see. Uh Facebook, It's Facebook settings

1599
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:54,599
Speaker 1: are a nightmare. They are literally the worst. They are

1600
01:19:54,600 --> 01:19:57,360
Speaker 1: the worst setup of anything that I've seen on the

1601
01:19:57,400 --> 01:20:00,120
Speaker 1: Internet because there's just so many of them, and it

1602
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:03,959
Speaker 1: depends if you're managing a page versus a private account,

1603
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:06,559
Speaker 1: which in my case I have both, so I can't.

1604
01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:08,000
Speaker 1: I can't go through these on the air right here

1605
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:10,800
Speaker 1: because there's just too many settings. But typically go into

1606
01:20:10,800 --> 01:20:15,559
Speaker 1: your settings on Facebook, look under page rolls, and if

1607
01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:18,559
Speaker 1: it's not page rolls, it could also be page set up,

1608
01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:21,559
Speaker 1: depending on the version of Facebook that you're using. I

1609
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:24,680
Speaker 1: think you're probably using I would hope the new page experience,

1610
01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:27,920
Speaker 1: so that's under settings, and then page set up, and

1611
01:20:27,960 --> 01:20:31,320
Speaker 1: then choose the user, give them access and then you'll

1612
01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:33,600
Speaker 1: have to confirm that and then they can probably go

1613
01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:37,280
Speaker 1: through and delete you. Okay, all right, sure you have

1614
01:20:37,320 --> 01:20:38,160
Speaker 1: a little bit of homework.

1615
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:43,479
Speaker 5: When I set up Facebook and then Instagram came into existence,

1616
01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:46,599
Speaker 5: and then I want to say they're connected, because that's

1617
01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:50,559
Speaker 5: how I got into Instagram, so it should be connected, right.

1618
01:20:50,439 --> 01:20:52,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, they should be connected like mine's connected because I

1619
01:20:53,080 --> 01:20:55,160
Speaker 1: mine's all under the same account, So as long as

1620
01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:57,360
Speaker 1: it's in the same account, it should be connected. I

1621
01:20:57,400 --> 01:20:59,439
Speaker 1: don't I don't if it's not, and you'll just have

1622
01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:01,440
Speaker 1: to do the same thing on Instagram.

1623
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:03,599
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, I appreciate it.

1624
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:05,960
Speaker 1: All right, Sherry, keep me posted. Go to Rich on

1625
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:07,720
Speaker 1: tech Dot TV send me an email let me know

1626
01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:10,000
Speaker 1: if any of that stuff worked, because you know, sometimes

1627
01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:11,679
Speaker 1: I like do a follow up because we talk about

1628
01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:13,920
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff on this show, and I like

1629
01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:15,599
Speaker 1: to know if the things that we talk about actually

1630
01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:18,360
Speaker 1: work when you try to do them, because I can't

1631
01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:20,559
Speaker 1: do everything while I'm on the air because it's just's.

1632
01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:23,840
Speaker 1: I mean, like settings alone on Instagram. I'm looking at

1633
01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:26,680
Speaker 1: the page here, there's just there's so many and they

1634
01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:30,559
Speaker 1: change like every week. So I'm looking at my page setup. Okay,

1635
01:21:30,560 --> 01:21:34,519
Speaker 1: here we go, page set up, and I'm looking for

1636
01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:40,040
Speaker 1: the page recommendations, page access. Okay, here we go page access,

1637
01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:44,680
Speaker 1: and there's me and there's my wife, and okay, so

1638
01:21:44,840 --> 01:21:48,320
Speaker 1: if I yeah, I can set let's see remove access,

1639
01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:52,240
Speaker 1: remove access. Oh I can remove access to my own self.

1640
01:21:52,280 --> 01:21:55,519
Speaker 1: That's scary, but yeah. So if you look at it,

1641
01:21:55,520 --> 01:21:57,880
Speaker 1: it should be where you can add someone as an

1642
01:21:57,920 --> 01:22:00,160
Speaker 1: admin right there. And so that's what I would do

1643
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:02,439
Speaker 1: and just add her as the admin, make sure she

1644
01:22:02,479 --> 01:22:04,599
Speaker 1: has complete access, and then she can go into this

1645
01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:09,000
Speaker 1: the people with Facebook access setting and delete you out.

1646
01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:13,519
Speaker 1: Good question eighty eight rich one O one eight eight

1647
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:17,160
Speaker 1: eight seven four to two four one zero one. Uh

1648
01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:22,320
Speaker 1: if you like Xbox Game Pass, you can get two

1649
01:22:22,360 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 1: months free if you have a Samsung TV or a monitor.

1650
01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:29,080
Speaker 1: So this is a new deal because Samsung has a

1651
01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:32,880
Speaker 1: new deal with EA Sports FC twenty five. I guess

1652
01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:36,200
Speaker 1: you can play it with no console on a Samsung

1653
01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:38,920
Speaker 1: TV or a monitor now, which is pretty cool. So

1654
01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:42,240
Speaker 1: this is in the Samsung Gaming hug Hub. But because

1655
01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:46,200
Speaker 1: they did that, they are giving people an Xbox game

1656
01:22:46,280 --> 01:22:49,760
Speaker 1: Pass UH subscriber two months. So two months of this

1657
01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:53,840
Speaker 1: for free. That's about twenty dollars a month. That's forty dollars. Yeah,

1658
01:22:53,920 --> 01:22:55,920
Speaker 1: are you familiar with game You're you know? What do

1659
01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:59,360
Speaker 1: you have? The Ultimate? Of course? Yeah? Now I've done

1660
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:01,559
Speaker 1: so many free trials of this. I've never I think

1661
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:04,360
Speaker 1: I've only paid for it one month. But I every

1662
01:23:04,479 --> 01:23:06,920
Speaker 1: every like gadget like computers and things they come with

1663
01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:09,120
Speaker 1: like a I don't know, just always I'm always getting

1664
01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:10,400
Speaker 1: like months of free.

1665
01:23:10,720 --> 01:23:13,080
Speaker 8: My only issue is now that Xbox Live is like

1666
01:23:13,400 --> 01:23:15,680
Speaker 8: twenty bucks a month they change, You're paying like one

1667
01:23:15,760 --> 01:23:18,519
Speaker 8: hundred and twenty dollars a year to game online. But

1668
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:22,000
Speaker 8: the positive thing about Xbox Live Ultimate is you get

1669
01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:24,639
Speaker 8: literally most of their catalog to play.

1670
01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:26,840
Speaker 1: You can just download the games and play them. When

1671
01:23:26,840 --> 01:23:28,639
Speaker 1: you're done, want them to delete them and download something else.

1672
01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:30,880
Speaker 1: Most of the Microsoft games, most of the Microsoft game

1673
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:33,160
Speaker 1: the big titles there, yeah, the major titles. Then you

1674
01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:35,720
Speaker 1: get them like a day early. Oh that's the cool thing. Yeah,

1675
01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:37,559

1703
01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:02,640
Speaker 6: I'm in the market for a new laptop. I have

1704
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:07,160
Speaker 6: an old, old HP and I'm looking to pick up

1705
01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:11,439
Speaker 6: another laptop. I'm not into gaming, not into downloading movies

1706
01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:13,639
Speaker 6: or music. I guess I'm kind of boring. I mainly

1707
01:25:13,720 --> 01:25:17,880
Speaker 6: just surf the web, email, and pay my bills online.

1708
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:21,000
Speaker 6: That's about basically all I use my laptop for. I

1709
01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:23,679
Speaker 6: had this HP for I'm still on a Windows seven

1710
01:25:23,720 --> 01:25:24,560
Speaker 6: if you believe.

1711
01:25:24,320 --> 01:25:28,479
Speaker 1: It, Oh my gosh, I burn it, burn that thing.

1712
01:25:29,360 --> 01:25:31,760
Speaker 1: Yeah I am, I'm just kidding. Don't don't. I don't

1713
01:25:31,760 --> 01:25:34,920
Speaker 1: want the environmental do do not burn batteries. Please do

1714
01:25:35,040 --> 01:25:36,439
Speaker 1: not burn your laptops properly.

1715
01:25:36,479 --> 01:25:40,799
Speaker 6: Recycled anyway, it's been working great. I have no complaints,

1716
01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:43,120
Speaker 6: but it's getting tired and it's been flown down, so

1717
01:25:43,120 --> 01:25:45,679
Speaker 6: I won't if you have any recommendations for another laptop.

1718
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:47,519
Speaker 1: Now, how long have you had this laptop?

1719
01:25:50,360 --> 01:25:55,360
Speaker 6: Well, it's a Pavilion E seven thirteen thirty DX.

1720
01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:58,240
Speaker 1: Not TAB Oh my gosh, okay, HP.

1721
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:00,719
Speaker 6: You know it's worth great.

1722
01:26:00,960 --> 01:26:02,559
Speaker 1: No, that's that's what I'm saying. I mean, look at

1723
01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:04,360
Speaker 1: this is the thing. Like we had a caller earlier

1724
01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:08,280
Speaker 1: wanted to upgrade their computer after one year. No, computers

1725
01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:10,960
Speaker 1: should be lasting minimum four years.

1726
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:11,160
Speaker 2: You know.

1727
01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:13,880
Speaker 1: If you're a power user like me, like I switch

1728
01:26:13,960 --> 01:26:17,160
Speaker 1: my I switch out my computer every usually every two

1729
01:26:17,200 --> 01:26:20,280
Speaker 1: to three years at the max. Right, But I'm a

1730
01:26:20,280 --> 01:26:22,479
Speaker 1: power user, so I need to do that. But if

1731
01:26:22,479 --> 01:26:24,720
Speaker 1: you're just an average user, that's like you said, you're

1732
01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:27,639
Speaker 1: just doing bills, you're just surfing the web. Your computer

1733
01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:29,559
Speaker 1: should last a long time. With a little bit of

1734
01:26:29,600 --> 01:26:32,280
Speaker 1: maintenance and just kind of keeping things nice and clean

1735
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:35,080
Speaker 1: and up to date. You should have a computer that

1736
01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:35,960
Speaker 1: lasts a long time.

1737
01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:39,840
Speaker 6: So it's probably over fifteen twenty years I've had it.

1738
01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:41,840
Speaker 1: That's incredible. That's an incredible run.

1739
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:47,080
Speaker 6: I'm looking up grade, okay, get in the twenty first century.

1740
01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:49,160
Speaker 1: So here's the thing. So I mean, when it comes

1741
01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:52,559
Speaker 1: to specs, what I would recommend is you don't need

1742
01:26:52,720 --> 01:26:54,360
Speaker 1: super high end stuff. So I'm just going to give

1743
01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:56,719
Speaker 1: you the basic specs I think you should be looking for. Okay,

1744
01:26:57,240 --> 01:27:01,000
Speaker 1: so number one Intel or AMD chip. Now, most of

1745
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:05,599
Speaker 1: the chips these days are numbered, whether it's A three, five, seven, nine,

1746
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:07,880
Speaker 1: So I would go for you, you probably just need

1747
01:27:07,920 --> 01:27:11,439
Speaker 1: a five. So Intel in Intel Core five, they have

1748
01:27:11,439 --> 01:27:13,680
Speaker 1: two different like levels of that, so one is like

1749
01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:17,879
Speaker 1: Intel Core one's Intel Core Ultra. You know Ultra obviously

1750
01:27:17,960 --> 01:27:19,240
Speaker 1: is gonna be a little bit better. It's got the

1751
01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:21,800
Speaker 1: AI stuff, but you'd be fine with the Core. So

1752
01:27:22,800 --> 01:27:26,160
Speaker 1: but yeah, Intel Core seven or Core five, or you

1753
01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:29,200
Speaker 1: can go with the a MD. I would say when

1754
01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:31,400
Speaker 1: it comes to am D, you know, same thing. You

1755
01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:35,200
Speaker 1: can go five or seven. But you know, they also

1756
01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:37,800
Speaker 1: have these new computers that have the Qualcomm chips in them,

1757
01:27:38,120 --> 01:27:40,240
Speaker 1: which is like a Snapdragon X. Those are gonna be

1758
01:27:40,240 --> 01:27:43,080
Speaker 1: a little bit less powered, but for what you're needing,

1759
01:27:43,160 --> 01:27:44,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna be just fine as well. So if you

1760
01:27:44,800 --> 01:27:47,800
Speaker 1: see a computer with snap Dragon X that's gonna be fine.

1761
01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:48,760
Speaker 6: Uh.

1762
01:27:48,840 --> 01:27:51,559
Speaker 1: Now when it comes to memory, uh, the other one

1763
01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:53,800
Speaker 1: is uh, the memory you probably want. You probably want

1764
01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:57,639
Speaker 1: minimum sixteen gigs of memory, So that's RAM. And when

1765
01:27:57,640 --> 01:28:00,120
Speaker 1: it comes to the graphics, you know, the do GPU like,

1766
01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:02,679
Speaker 1: you don't need a separate graphics if it's built into

1767
01:28:02,720 --> 01:28:06,519
Speaker 1: the CPU, that's fine. Memory sixteen gigs is fine if

1768
01:28:06,560 --> 01:28:08,080
Speaker 1: you want to make this thing. I mean, your last

1769
01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:10,439
Speaker 1: computer lasted so long. If you want to go thirty

1770
01:28:10,439 --> 01:28:14,360
Speaker 1: two gigs to make it last even longer, that's great. Storage.

1771
01:28:14,400 --> 01:28:17,280
Speaker 1: You want a I would say probably five twelve to

1772
01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:20,519
Speaker 1: one terabyte gig hard drive and most of the time

1773
01:28:20,760 --> 01:28:22,640
Speaker 1: these are going to be SSD drives. That's going to

1774
01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:26,639
Speaker 1: be much faster than a standard hard drive. Let's see

1775
01:28:26,640 --> 01:28:28,080
Speaker 1: what else. And of course you just want to look

1776
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:30,439
Speaker 1: for your USB C ports. You want to make sure

1777
01:28:30,439 --> 01:28:34,160
Speaker 1: it has that. You want good wireless. I think that's

1778
01:28:34,160 --> 01:28:37,800
Speaker 1: going to do it. So brands specifically, I think the

1779
01:28:37,840 --> 01:28:40,120
Speaker 1: brand to look at that I really like as the

1780
01:28:40,160 --> 01:28:43,040
Speaker 1: a SEUs. I like two brands. The Vvo Book is

1781
01:28:43,080 --> 01:28:47,320
Speaker 1: going to be sort of an overall great computer, the

1782
01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:50,120
Speaker 1: Vivo Book. They often go on sale at best Buy,

1783
01:28:50,240 --> 01:28:53,519
Speaker 1: so do not pay full price, but like this one

1784
01:28:53,560 --> 01:28:56,760
Speaker 1: that I'm looking at, this VVO book S fourteen, which

1785
01:28:56,800 --> 01:28:59,760
Speaker 1: is highly rated. It's nine hundred and fifty dollars. This

1786
01:28:59,760 --> 01:29:01,599
Speaker 1: thing been on sale for as low as like five

1787
01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:05,840
Speaker 1: hundred dollars, So definitely be on the lookout for, you know,

1788
01:29:05,920 --> 01:29:07,800
Speaker 1: deals on that. And you want something that has a

1789
01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:11,280
Speaker 1: big screen, make sure you get fifteen fourteen fifteen sixteen

1790
01:29:11,320 --> 01:29:13,040
Speaker 1: inch screen is going to be best, especially if you're

1791
01:29:13,120 --> 01:29:15,360
Speaker 1: using your computer for all those years. The other one

1792
01:29:15,400 --> 01:29:17,439
Speaker 1: I like is the one I'm using over here. This

1793
01:29:17,520 --> 01:29:20,479
Speaker 1: is a a sus Zen book that's going to be

1794
01:29:20,479 --> 01:29:23,000
Speaker 1: a little bit more expensive, a little more sleek and slick,

1795
01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:25,120
Speaker 1: but that's a really good one as well. So those

1796
01:29:25,160 --> 01:29:28,360
Speaker 1: are two good laptops, but really, any laptop that you

1797
01:29:28,479 --> 01:29:30,519
Speaker 1: find that has those specs that I mentioned, I think

1798
01:29:30,560 --> 01:29:32,479
Speaker 1: you're going to good with Tom. Thanks for the call

1799
01:29:32,520 --> 01:29:34,720
Speaker 1: and thanks for using a computer that long great for

1800
01:29:34,760 --> 01:29:37,160
Speaker 1: the world. Coming up, we're going to talk to Molly

Speaker 1: Joining me now is Mollie de Frank. She's got a

1805
01:29:56,240 --> 01:30:00,639
Speaker 1: new book called Digital Detox, The two Week Tech Reset

1806
01:30:00,720 --> 01:30:03,320
Speaker 1: for Kids. Mollie, thanks for joining me today.

1807
01:30:03,800 --> 01:30:04,800
Speaker 13: Thanks for having me rich.

1808
01:30:05,040 --> 01:30:08,880
Speaker 1: So, this is a problem that is happening everywhere when

1809
01:30:08,880 --> 01:30:11,080
Speaker 1: I was in I was in Mexico City this week

1810
01:30:11,160 --> 01:30:12,960
Speaker 1: and I was watching I'd love to watch how people

1811
01:30:13,040 --> 01:30:15,880
Speaker 1: use their phones and on the plane, just everywhere. And

1812
01:30:15,920 --> 01:30:17,719
Speaker 1: so this is not just kids, but like pretty much

1813
01:30:17,720 --> 01:30:21,200
Speaker 1: everyone is in this swiping culture of flip flip flip

1814
01:30:21,200 --> 01:30:24,599
Speaker 1: flip flip, Like attention span is like one second and

1815
01:30:24,680 --> 01:30:27,760
Speaker 1: it's getting out of control. So what inspired you to

1816
01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:28,559
Speaker 1: write this book?

1817
01:30:29,479 --> 01:30:32,839
Speaker 14: Well, as a mom to six kids, I hear exactly

1818
01:30:32,880 --> 01:30:36,120
Speaker 14: what you're saying. It definitely resonates, And honestly, it was

1819
01:30:36,200 --> 01:30:38,960
Speaker 14: out of our own experience. My kids had too much

1820
01:30:38,960 --> 01:30:41,719
Speaker 14: technology and I did not appreciate how much their digital

1821
01:30:41,840 --> 01:30:44,320
Speaker 14: entertainment was squashing their creativity.

1822
01:30:44,400 --> 01:30:45,919
Speaker 13: It was putting them in bad moods.

1823
01:30:46,200 --> 01:30:48,360
Speaker 14: It was making them fight with each other in ways

1824
01:30:48,360 --> 01:30:51,400
Speaker 14: that I had not seen. It made my own childhood

1825
01:30:51,400 --> 01:30:54,640
Speaker 14: squabbles look like nothing in comparison. I was watching, like

1826
01:30:54,840 --> 01:30:57,639
Speaker 14: wwe live in my living room, and I knew something

1827
01:30:57,720 --> 01:31:00,559
Speaker 14: had to change. So we actually did some thing crazy,

1828
01:31:00,560 --> 01:31:03,719
Speaker 14: and we took away all of their digital entertainment and

1829
01:31:04,280 --> 01:31:08,280
Speaker 14: it solved probably eighty percent of our parenting problems. And

1830
01:31:08,320 --> 01:31:11,280
Speaker 14: I couldn't believe it. So I wrote this book about

1831
01:31:11,320 --> 01:31:13,160
Speaker 14: how to help other parents do it. And I've had

1832
01:31:13,240 --> 01:31:15,120
Speaker 14: so many parents come back to me and say, I

1833
01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:17,320
Speaker 14: cannot believe how quickly and how well this worked in

1834
01:31:17,320 --> 01:31:17,799
Speaker 14: my family.

1835
01:31:18,240 --> 01:31:20,799
Speaker 1: So well, you described what was happening in your family,

1836
01:31:20,800 --> 01:31:23,040
Speaker 1: You describe what's happening in like ninety nine percent of

1837
01:31:23,040 --> 01:31:26,320
Speaker 1: households in America right now, and it happens in mine too.

1838
01:31:26,360 --> 01:31:28,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like I call my kids like

1839
01:31:28,479 --> 01:31:31,759
Speaker 1: iPad zombies. When they're on their iPad, it's like nothing

1840
01:31:31,800 --> 01:31:35,639
Speaker 1: else in the world matters. And I've said this many times.

1841
01:31:35,680 --> 01:31:37,960
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, you know, I was outside,

1842
01:31:38,040 --> 01:31:39,760
Speaker 1: I was and I'm not. Look. I get that the

1843
01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:42,320
Speaker 1: world has changed in the time since I was a kid,

1844
01:31:42,360 --> 01:31:44,320
Speaker 1: and I get it, But at the same time, you

1845
01:31:44,360 --> 01:31:46,240
Speaker 1: still need to be a kid, and when you're on

1846
01:31:46,280 --> 01:31:49,439
Speaker 1: your screen, you're just not like it's very different of

1847
01:31:49,800 --> 01:31:51,280
Speaker 1: how you're developing as a child.

1848
01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:52,320
Speaker 6: Well.

1849
01:31:52,360 --> 01:31:55,799
Speaker 14: Absolutely, and to be honest, like it's a very difficult

1850
01:31:55,800 --> 01:31:58,439
Speaker 14: time to parent right now. Because we're looking back at

1851
01:31:58,479 --> 01:32:00,600
Speaker 14: our childhood going, yeah, pack me and all that.

1852
01:32:00,720 --> 01:32:01,599
Speaker 13: I grew up on that stuff.

1853
01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:05,160
Speaker 14: It's fine Saturday morning cartoons, but the technology has changed

1854
01:32:05,360 --> 01:32:08,639
Speaker 14: so much over one generation that it's not the same.

1855
01:32:09,040 --> 01:32:11,000
Speaker 14: And just like you mentioned, you've got these kids, they're

1856
01:32:11,040 --> 01:32:13,760
Speaker 14: like iPad kids. They look like zombies. They're addicted to

1857
01:32:13,840 --> 01:32:17,719
Speaker 14: these devices. So parents are kind of scratching their heads, going, gosh,

1858
01:32:17,720 --> 01:32:20,200
Speaker 14: the marketing told me, you know, giving my kids a

1859
01:32:20,280 --> 01:32:23,000
Speaker 14: tablet early would turn them into a rocket scientist. But

1860
01:32:23,040 --> 01:32:24,920
Speaker 14: that's not what I'm seeing. I'm seeing kids who are

1861
01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:28,920
Speaker 14: bored and irritable and ornery. And what went wrong and

1862
01:32:29,439 --> 01:32:31,439
Speaker 14: what we know and what we're seeing us the research

1863
01:32:31,479 --> 01:32:34,600
Speaker 14: is just pouring out, is that this is not the

1864
01:32:34,600 --> 01:32:38,519
Speaker 14: same technology, and it's purposefully designed to addict our kids,

1865
01:32:38,560 --> 01:32:42,240
Speaker 14: and there are there are very little, if any redemptive

1866
01:32:42,320 --> 01:32:44,240
Speaker 14: value in our kids digital entertainment right now.

1867
01:32:44,439 --> 01:32:46,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, And I actually think this may turn

1868
01:32:46,720 --> 01:32:49,439
Speaker 1: out to be the Tobacco of this generation. Like it really,

1869
01:32:49,479 --> 01:32:51,880
Speaker 1: like like you said, there's a lot of studies, but

1870
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:54,080
Speaker 1: like parents don't want to believe it, and it's so

1871
01:32:54,400 --> 01:32:58,479
Speaker 1: ingrained in how kids function these days, Like when it

1872
01:32:58,520 --> 01:33:01,200
Speaker 1: comes to keeping it in touch with kids and playing

1873
01:33:01,280 --> 01:33:05,160
Speaker 1: video games. Like everything's online on the everything filters through

1874
01:33:05,200 --> 01:33:07,920
Speaker 1: the screen, and so that also makes it a challenge.

1875
01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:10,800
Speaker 1: So what is kind of the framework of your two

1876
01:33:10,800 --> 01:33:12,280
Speaker 1: week digital detalks.

1877
01:33:12,760 --> 01:33:16,160
Speaker 14: Yes, so I recommend parents, if you notice in your

1878
01:33:16,240 --> 01:33:19,960
Speaker 14: kids that they're irritable or they have their interests really

1879
01:33:20,040 --> 01:33:22,519
Speaker 14: don't go beyond the screen. If the screen timer dings

1880
01:33:22,560 --> 01:33:24,960
Speaker 14: and they fall apart, if you tell them go play outside,

1881
01:33:25,240 --> 01:33:27,360
Speaker 14: build a fort, read a book, they say that's boring.

1882
01:33:27,520 --> 01:33:30,680
Speaker 14: Those are red flags that shows you my kids might

1883
01:33:30,720 --> 01:33:33,120
Speaker 14: need a reset, they might need to do a digital detox.

1884
01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:36,760
Speaker 14: So I recommend going cold turkey no digital entertainment for

1885
01:33:36,840 --> 01:33:39,759
Speaker 14: two full weeks. And I know that sounds really scary,

1886
01:33:39,880 --> 01:33:41,800
Speaker 14: but I promise you can do it and it will

1887
01:33:41,880 --> 01:33:43,000
Speaker 14: absolutely change your life.

1888
01:33:43,040 --> 01:33:44,280
Speaker 13: It'll change your kids for the better.

1889
01:33:44,680 --> 01:33:48,439
Speaker 1: Now, okay, so once you do the two week digital detoks,

1890
01:33:48,520 --> 01:33:50,360
Speaker 1: then how do you reintroduce all this stuff?

1891
01:33:51,120 --> 01:33:53,439
Speaker 14: Yes, great question, because the goal here is not to

1892
01:33:53,600 --> 01:33:56,519
Speaker 14: move off the grid and go full like ma angles

1893
01:33:56,560 --> 01:33:59,080
Speaker 14: on everyone. I mean, maybe that's your goal, it wasn't ours.

1894
01:33:59,120 --> 01:34:00,439
Speaker 13: We enjoy digital entertainment.

1895
01:34:00,680 --> 01:34:03,240
Speaker 1: That's like a little house in the Prairie reference. I

1896
01:34:03,240 --> 01:34:03,519
Speaker 1: don't know.

1897
01:34:03,600 --> 01:34:05,599
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, we love Little House Egad.

1898
01:34:05,800 --> 01:34:06,439
Speaker 1: I got that.

1899
01:34:06,880 --> 01:34:08,880
Speaker 14: Yeah, we called my kids call it l HOP. They've

1900
01:34:08,920 --> 01:34:13,040
Speaker 14: like given it a nickname as an acronym, LHOP. Anyway,

1901
01:34:13,120 --> 01:34:13,679
Speaker 14: we love that show.

1902
01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:17,280
Speaker 13: It's a great Yeah, it's quality programming.

1903
01:34:18,240 --> 01:34:20,280
Speaker 14: But yes, So the goal isn't to move off the

1904
01:34:20,320 --> 01:34:23,120
Speaker 14: grid completely. The goal is to put technology in its

1905
01:34:23,200 --> 01:34:25,920
Speaker 14: right place. So the first half of the book is

1906
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:28,080
Speaker 14: all the details, what to do in the trenches if

1907
01:34:28,120 --> 01:34:30,439
Speaker 14: you take your kids technology away, how to get through

1908
01:34:30,479 --> 01:34:33,559
Speaker 14: the days when they're losing their minds ideas for what

1909
01:34:33,680 --> 01:34:35,880
Speaker 14: to do for every type of family. And then the

1910
01:34:35,920 --> 01:34:37,720
Speaker 14: second half of the book is how to make a

1911
01:34:37,760 --> 01:34:41,040
Speaker 14: new long term plan that sustains those great results while

1912
01:34:41,080 --> 01:34:44,519
Speaker 14: you're still using and enjoying digital entertainment in its right place.

1913
01:34:44,640 --> 01:34:46,160
Speaker 13: That was really important to our family.

1914
01:34:46,280 --> 01:34:49,360
Speaker 14: My kids love Mario Kart together, they love, you know,

1915
01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:51,000
Speaker 14: with some video games with a friend, and we don't

1916
01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:53,759
Speaker 14: need to have shame or stress over these things once

1917
01:34:53,800 --> 01:34:56,720
Speaker 14: we've agreed that now this is the right place for it.

1918
01:34:56,760 --> 01:34:57,280
Speaker 13: You know, it's a lot.

1919
01:34:57,520 --> 01:35:00,719
Speaker 14: You can kind of compare it to sugar in our

1920
01:35:01,040 --> 01:35:03,479
Speaker 14: world and our culture and our standard American diet, there's

1921
01:35:03,520 --> 01:35:05,920
Speaker 14: so much sugar, and if you take it all out

1922
01:35:05,960 --> 01:35:07,880
Speaker 14: and you do like a sugar detox, you're going to

1923
01:35:07,920 --> 01:35:10,559
Speaker 14: taste your food a lot better and you're gonna realize, Gosh,

1924
01:35:10,640 --> 01:35:12,360
Speaker 14: I did not need that much sugar. Once in a while,

1925
01:35:12,400 --> 01:35:16,320
Speaker 14: treat is fine. Similar with your kids digital entertainment, you

1926
01:35:16,360 --> 01:35:19,600
Speaker 14: take it all away. Now their taste buds, their creativity,

1927
01:35:19,600 --> 01:35:22,519
Speaker 14: what they're interested in is completely changed. It's a lot healthier,

1928
01:35:23,000 --> 01:35:26,040
Speaker 14: and then you can decide, yeah, a treat once, you know,

1929
01:35:26,120 --> 01:35:29,160
Speaker 14: every now and again. But our kids today, the standard

1930
01:35:29,200 --> 01:35:31,800
Speaker 14: American screen diet, eight to twelve year old kids are

1931
01:35:31,800 --> 01:35:35,799
Speaker 14: spending forty hours per week on digital entertainment, and thirteen

1932
01:35:35,840 --> 01:35:37,960
Speaker 14: to eighteen year olds are spending fifty hours a week.

1933
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:40,479
Speaker 14: I mean, these kids are like working the equivalent of

1934
01:35:40,520 --> 01:35:43,439
Speaker 14: a full time job on just digital entertainment that doesn't

1935
01:35:43,439 --> 01:35:44,240
Speaker 14: even count school.

1936
01:35:44,560 --> 01:35:46,519
Speaker 1: I always think that about I always say that to

1937
01:35:46,560 --> 01:35:49,040
Speaker 1: my kids. I'm like, you're doing this like it's a job,

1938
01:35:49,200 --> 01:35:51,200
Speaker 1: Like you literally act like it's your job to be

1939
01:35:51,320 --> 01:35:54,840
Speaker 1: on like Minecraft and what's the other thing, roadblocks. I'm

1940
01:35:54,840 --> 01:35:57,880
Speaker 1: not a fan of roadblocks Minecraft. I'll you know, I

1941
01:35:57,920 --> 01:36:00,080
Speaker 1: know it's silly but I don't mind it as much.

1942
01:36:00,120 --> 01:36:03,519
Speaker 1: But roadblocks I really take issue with because I feel

1943
01:36:03,560 --> 01:36:06,800
Speaker 1: like it is ninety nine point nine percent nonsense in

1944
01:36:06,840 --> 01:36:09,400
Speaker 1: that world. Yeah, and I think.

1945
01:36:09,320 --> 01:36:13,439
Speaker 14: That's great too, because I'm all about parents choosing the

1946
01:36:13,479 --> 01:36:15,439
Speaker 14: best technology that fits their kids.

1947
01:36:15,560 --> 01:36:18,439
Speaker 13: No one knows your kids like you do, so I

1948
01:36:18,479 --> 01:36:19,000
Speaker 13: don't think.

1949
01:36:18,880 --> 01:36:21,400
Speaker 14: Parents need to feel shame or stress about their rules

1950
01:36:21,439 --> 01:36:24,559
Speaker 14: compared to someone else's rules. You know, if you have

1951
01:36:24,600 --> 01:36:27,360
Speaker 14: a kid with ADHD, for example, you're probably going to

1952
01:36:27,479 --> 01:36:32,040
Speaker 14: notice that that child maybe responds or reacts more negatively

1953
01:36:32,160 --> 01:36:33,759
Speaker 14: to tablet time or video gaming.

1954
01:36:33,760 --> 01:36:35,680
Speaker 13: They might fall apart worse afterwards.

1955
01:36:36,120 --> 01:36:38,799
Speaker 14: And maybe you have another kid who doesn't have ADHD,

1956
01:36:38,920 --> 01:36:41,240
Speaker 14: who can handle a little more without falling apart.

1957
01:36:41,360 --> 01:36:43,200
Speaker 13: And there's science to support that.

1958
01:36:43,280 --> 01:36:46,240
Speaker 14: So take confidence as mom or dad, and no, gosh,

1959
01:36:46,280 --> 01:36:47,760
Speaker 14: I'm going to make these rules that fit for my

1960
01:36:47,840 --> 01:36:49,920
Speaker 14: family and my family's values, and I'm not going to

1961
01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:52,680
Speaker 14: feel stressed about it. But I just really want to

1962
01:36:52,720 --> 01:36:54,559
Speaker 14: encourage parents there's a way to get back in the

1963
01:36:54,600 --> 01:36:57,599
Speaker 14: driver's seat, because most parents just feel out of control.

1964
01:36:57,880 --> 01:37:00,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now we are getting into the summer yours. A

1965
01:37:00,680 --> 01:37:03,080
Speaker 1: lot of kids are already in their summer break, So

1966
01:37:04,040 --> 01:37:06,880
Speaker 1: it seems like the worst possible time for parents to

1967
01:37:06,960 --> 01:37:10,320
Speaker 1: start this digital detox. So how do you get started

1968
01:37:10,320 --> 01:37:11,960
Speaker 1: with this? Like, how do you get the buy in

1969
01:37:12,160 --> 01:37:14,880
Speaker 1: from the kids, the spouse, everyone.

1970
01:37:15,280 --> 01:37:18,759
Speaker 14: Actually riche The summer is the best time to start

1971
01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:22,280
Speaker 14: a digital detox because I promise you you will enjoy

1972
01:37:22,320 --> 01:37:24,599
Speaker 14: your kids more for the rest of the summer when

1973
01:37:24,600 --> 01:37:27,679
Speaker 14: they're not a screen zombie. Okay, Like, if your kids

1974
01:37:27,680 --> 01:37:30,880
Speaker 14: are losing their minds, they're falling apart, they can be

1975
01:37:30,960 --> 01:37:34,120
Speaker 14: unpleasant to be around when they're amped up on their devices.

1976
01:37:34,120 --> 01:37:36,880
Speaker 14: But if you can plan out two weeks right at

1977
01:37:36,920 --> 01:37:39,679
Speaker 14: the front end of your summer, most families I help

1978
01:37:39,760 --> 01:37:44,360
Speaker 14: report that either it's easy immediately, It's like flipping a switch.

1979
01:37:44,400 --> 01:37:46,679
Speaker 14: That's how it was with my kids. Some families say

1980
01:37:47,080 --> 01:37:49,439
Speaker 14: the first day or two can be difficult, their kids

1981
01:37:49,479 --> 01:37:51,360
Speaker 14: are complaining, they're getting used to it. But really, what

1982
01:37:51,400 --> 01:37:54,479
Speaker 14: you're doing is you're resetting the dopamine levels in your kids' brains,

1983
01:37:54,960 --> 01:37:58,920
Speaker 14: because these devices are purposefully engineered to release so much

1984
01:37:58,960 --> 01:38:02,200
Speaker 14: dopamine in the brain that, by comparison the dopamine that

1985
01:38:02,280 --> 01:38:04,280
Speaker 14: kids are getting from things in the real world, it

1986
01:38:04,320 --> 01:38:07,400
Speaker 14: doesn't even register. So that's what you're doing. You're giving

1987
01:38:07,400 --> 01:38:10,679
Speaker 14: them a dopamine reset. And now after a couple of days,

1988
01:38:10,720 --> 01:38:13,400
Speaker 14: after two weeks, now they can look around and actually

1989
01:38:13,479 --> 01:38:15,599
Speaker 14: enjoy going for a walk or going for a bike ride,

1990
01:38:15,680 --> 01:38:18,080
Speaker 14: or you know, reading a book.

1991
01:38:18,160 --> 01:38:21,960
Speaker 1: So you're just reawakening simple things. Oh my gosh, little

1992
01:38:22,160 --> 01:38:24,599
Speaker 1: how do you? I mean, how do you? I always say,

1993
01:38:24,600 --> 01:38:27,320
Speaker 1: how do you compare with this world? There's like this

1994
01:38:27,400 --> 01:38:29,800
Speaker 1: world on your screen is like there's so much going on,

1995
01:38:30,240 --> 01:38:31,760
Speaker 1: and when you sit down to like read a book

1996
01:38:31,880 --> 01:38:33,879
Speaker 1: or do something simple or just play in the backyard,

1997
01:38:33,880 --> 01:38:36,280
Speaker 1: it's like it's also simple. It's like, wait, it doesn't

1998
01:38:36,320 --> 01:38:38,880
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't fire all these cylinders. Like you said,

1999
01:38:38,880 --> 01:38:41,559
Speaker 1: the dopamine hit all right, so we got a run.

2000
01:38:41,600 --> 01:38:45,479
Speaker 1: But one tip, what's a small step parents can take

2001
01:38:45,520 --> 01:38:47,759
Speaker 1: if they can't go all in on the detox right away,

2002
01:38:48,160 --> 01:38:50,360
Speaker 1: what's one small step they can take to reduce the

2003
01:38:50,520 --> 01:38:51,480
Speaker 1: screen overload.

2004
01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:55,760
Speaker 14: I really recommend you get the book Digital Detalks. I

2005
01:38:55,800 --> 01:38:57,960
Speaker 14: recommend you do some research. There's a lot of great

2006
01:38:58,080 --> 01:39:00,679
Speaker 14: research out there. Jonathan Height has a lot of great

2007
01:39:00,760 --> 01:39:04,120
Speaker 14: data about the effects this technology is having on our kids.

2008
01:39:04,400 --> 01:39:07,000
Speaker 14: And then I would say, talk with your spouse, have

2009
01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:09,519
Speaker 14: a conversation about when to do with detox. Even if

2010
01:39:09,520 --> 01:39:11,200
Speaker 14: you want to do a mini one over a weekend,

2011
01:39:12,280 --> 01:39:13,280
Speaker 14: you know, talk it through.

2012
01:39:13,720 --> 01:39:14,960
Speaker 13: I think that if you're.

2013
01:39:14,800 --> 01:39:19,320
Speaker 14: Trying the same old thing, setting timers, taking it away,

2014
01:39:19,479 --> 01:39:23,080
Speaker 14: adding on more screen time later for better behavior, it's

2015
01:39:23,120 --> 01:39:25,040
Speaker 14: not It doesn't work. And I think you know if

2016
01:39:25,040 --> 01:39:26,680
Speaker 14: you're listening to your parent, that doesn't work because you

2017
01:39:26,720 --> 01:39:28,920
Speaker 14: need to do a full dopamine reset. So I recommend

2018
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:31,719
Speaker 14: doing some research, plan a date, put it on the calendar,

2019
01:39:31,760 --> 01:39:33,320
Speaker 14: grab a friend, try it.

2020
01:39:33,360 --> 01:39:34,080
Speaker 13: You won't get it.

2021
01:39:34,400 --> 01:39:38,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, Mollie de Frank. The book is Digital Detox,

2022
01:39:38,920 --> 01:39:42,280
Speaker 1: the two week Tech Reset for Kids. Now, are you

2023
01:39:42,280 --> 01:39:44,160
Speaker 1: going to do one for adults next? Because you know

2024
01:39:44,360 --> 01:39:45,840
Speaker 1: all the things you just mentioned are the same thing

2025
01:39:45,840 --> 01:39:47,680
Speaker 1: with adults. We can just our brains are just more

2026
01:39:47,720 --> 01:39:49,880
Speaker 1: engineered to handle all this nonsense.

2027
01:39:50,640 --> 01:39:53,400
Speaker 14: Check out the last chapter, Rich, it's about digital de

2028
01:39:53,479 --> 01:39:54,360
Speaker 14: talks for mom and dad.

2029
01:39:54,800 --> 01:39:57,080
Speaker 1: Cover there we go. All right, thanks so much for

2030
01:39:57,160 --> 01:40:00,400
Speaker 1: joining me on the show. Rich on tech dot tv

2031
01:40:00,640 --> 01:40:02,040
Speaker 1: is the website to go to if you want to

2032
01:40:02,040 --> 01:40:05,200
Speaker 1: link to Molly to Frank's book. Time to Flip the Switch,

2033
01:40:05,400 --> 01:40:07,800
Speaker 1: Get those kids off those screens, get them outside, find

2034
01:40:07,800 --> 01:40:11,000
Speaker 1: some worms under rocks. You're listening to rich on Tech.

2035
01:40:16,680 --> 01:40:19,679
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging

2036
01:40:19,720 --> 01:40:23,920
Speaker 1: out with you, talking technology. We're gonna get to the feedbag.

2037
01:40:24,040 --> 01:40:26,760
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, so many you know. I come in

2038
01:40:26,800 --> 01:40:29,080
Speaker 1: every week with like a million things to talk about.

2039
01:40:29,120 --> 01:40:30,439
Speaker 1: I don't always get to all of them, but I

2040
01:40:30,479 --> 01:40:32,280
Speaker 1: do want to mention a couple of things. First off,

2041
01:40:32,320 --> 01:40:36,439
Speaker 1: there's a new camera app from Adobe called Indigo. This

2042
01:40:36,640 --> 01:40:38,800
Speaker 1: was developed by two of the original creators of the

2043
01:40:38,840 --> 01:40:41,160
Speaker 1: Pixel and Google camera app. So if you want to

2044
01:40:41,240 --> 01:40:44,240
Speaker 1: upgrade the camera app on your iPhone, maybe you have

2045
01:40:44,240 --> 01:40:46,280
Speaker 1: an older iPhone, this will work all the way back

2046
01:40:46,320 --> 01:40:50,840
Speaker 1: to iPhone twelve pro and up. So yeah, check it out.

2047
01:40:51,280 --> 01:40:53,320
Speaker 1: It's Indigo. I've been trying it out and it just

2048
01:40:53,360 --> 01:40:57,160
Speaker 1: gives you a lot more control uses computational photography and

2049
01:40:57,240 --> 01:40:58,800
Speaker 1: if you like I mean, this may not be for

2050
01:40:58,880 --> 01:41:01,840
Speaker 1: like the casual average, but if you like to edit

2051
01:41:01,920 --> 01:41:05,519
Speaker 1: things in light room and Adobe, this is probably for you.

2052
01:41:06,080 --> 01:41:08,640
Speaker 1: So the goal is to give your iPhone photos a

2053
01:41:08,680 --> 01:41:12,040
Speaker 1: more natural, sl art style look. So again it's called

2054
01:41:12,040 --> 01:41:15,120
Speaker 1: the Indigo Camera. If you just like to try, you know,

2055
01:41:15,200 --> 01:41:17,280
Speaker 1: camera apps. That one's really cool. The other one I

2056
01:41:17,320 --> 01:41:20,200
Speaker 1: was posting a lot of pictures with was the West

2057
01:41:21,160 --> 01:41:24,160
Speaker 1: Camera app on iPhone and it gives your pictures that

2058
01:41:24,200 --> 01:41:27,519
Speaker 1: old filmic quality. The other thing to look at on

2059
01:41:27,560 --> 01:41:32,160
Speaker 1: my instagram is why your web browser matters because Duc

2060
01:41:32,240 --> 01:41:36,160
Speaker 1: Ducco has this new scam blocker feature that can detect

2061
01:41:36,160 --> 01:41:41,360
Speaker 1: fake online sites, crypto scams, virus pop ups, and yeah,

2062
01:41:41,479 --> 01:41:43,920
Speaker 1: it's really good. It actually works. So if you click

2063
01:41:44,280 --> 01:41:46,880
Speaker 1: a link on your phone or your computer that is

2064
01:41:46,920 --> 01:41:48,360
Speaker 1: going to lead you to a website that's going to

2065
01:41:48,360 --> 01:41:51,000
Speaker 1: try to steal information from you, this will stop it.

2066
01:41:51,479 --> 01:41:55,040
Speaker 1: And I tested a bogus like a phony website on

2067
01:41:55,120 --> 01:42:00,360
Speaker 1: both Duc duc Go Chrome and Safari and Brave. Duc

2068
01:42:00,439 --> 01:42:03,960
Speaker 1: Duco and Chrome blocked the website and said warning, warning, Warning,

2069
01:42:04,400 --> 01:42:07,519
Speaker 1: Safari and Brave let you go right to the website.

2070
01:42:07,560 --> 01:42:09,719
Speaker 1: So if you're trying to protect yourself from being tricked,

2071
01:42:10,040 --> 01:42:12,599
Speaker 1: you might want to consider changing your default web browser

2072
01:42:12,640 --> 01:42:15,360
Speaker 1: on your computer and your phone. And that's on my

2073
01:42:15,439 --> 01:42:17,760
Speaker 1: instagram at richon Tech you can read more about that.

2074
01:42:18,160 --> 01:42:20,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the feedback. We've got a

2075
01:42:20,080 --> 01:42:22,040
Speaker 1: lot to get through. John Wrights In I picked up

2076
01:42:22,040 --> 01:42:25,960
Speaker 1: a set of shocks Open Run pro to sport headphones

2077
01:42:26,000 --> 01:42:29,960
Speaker 1: at Best Buy phenomenal sound. I got tired of earbuds

2078
01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:32,920
Speaker 1: jammed in my ears and over the year headphones were

2079
01:42:32,920 --> 01:42:36,080
Speaker 1: just too bulky for workouts. These are lightweight, stay put,

2080
01:42:36,120 --> 01:42:40,639
Speaker 1: and you never sweat into them. Definitely worth checking out, John, Yes,

2081
01:42:40,720 --> 01:42:43,880
Speaker 1: I do love the Shocks Open Run. I don't know

2082
01:42:43,920 --> 01:42:45,960
Speaker 1: what model number I have, but I've been testing them

2083
01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:49,000
Speaker 1: out and yeah, they're great because they use what's called

2084
01:42:49,040 --> 01:42:52,320
Speaker 1: bone conduction, so you put them basically, they don't go

2085
01:42:52,439 --> 01:42:55,320
Speaker 1: in your ears at all. They sit on your face,

2086
01:42:55,560 --> 01:42:57,920
Speaker 1: like almost right in front of your ears, and then

2087
01:42:57,960 --> 01:43:00,840
Speaker 1: go around the back of your neck. Yes, they do

2088
01:43:00,920 --> 01:43:03,800
Speaker 1: sound great. I'm not as good as like traditional air

2089
01:43:03,880 --> 01:43:06,720
Speaker 1: pods or headphones, like you said, but if you want

2090
01:43:06,720 --> 01:43:08,760
Speaker 1: to be more aware of your surroundings, you don't want

2091
01:43:08,800 --> 01:43:11,280
Speaker 1: anything in your ears. That's going to be a great

2092
01:43:11,720 --> 01:43:16,120
Speaker 1: great alternative shocks open run earbuds or headphones. I guess

2093
01:43:16,120 --> 01:43:18,600
Speaker 1: you call them. Ken writes in I recently bought a

2094
01:43:18,600 --> 01:43:21,000
Speaker 1: Moto G five G phone and I've been trying over

2095
01:43:21,040 --> 01:43:22,960
Speaker 1: and over to get the eSIM working with no luck.

2096
01:43:23,360 --> 01:43:25,800
Speaker 1: I'm using consumer cellular, and eventually they just had to

2097
01:43:25,800 --> 01:43:28,080
Speaker 1: send me a physical SIM card. Is this a common problem?

2098
01:43:28,479 --> 01:43:30,200
Speaker 1: By the way, I was born in Manhattan. They used

2099
01:43:30,240 --> 01:43:32,400
Speaker 1: to love looking across the river at the amusement park

2100
01:43:32,400 --> 01:43:35,599
Speaker 1: on the New Jersey side. I enjoy listening to your show.

2101
01:43:36,240 --> 01:43:40,400
Speaker 1: Thank you, Ken. Yeah, eSIMs are hit or miss. Sometimes

2102
01:43:40,400 --> 01:43:43,200
Speaker 1: they work perfectly and flawlessly. Other times. Yeah, you'll get

2103
01:43:43,200 --> 01:43:45,640
Speaker 1: some issues with them, but I would say for the

2104
01:43:45,680 --> 01:43:49,080
Speaker 1: majority of people they probably work pretty well. But a

2105
01:43:49,080 --> 01:43:52,280
Speaker 1: physical SIM offers more flexibility because it can be easily

2106
01:43:52,320 --> 01:43:54,679
Speaker 1: moved from phone to phone if you're switching phones a lot.

2107
01:43:55,000 --> 01:43:58,320
Speaker 1: But on the flip side, the eSIM is embedded into

2108
01:43:58,360 --> 01:44:01,320
Speaker 1: the phone, so there's no moving parts, there's nothing to lose,

2109
01:44:01,720 --> 01:44:04,840
Speaker 1: nothing to pop out, and it's easy to switch theoretically

2110
01:44:04,880 --> 01:44:08,360
Speaker 1: from one phone to another. So maybe in the future

2111
01:44:08,400 --> 01:44:10,160
Speaker 1: you can give another run, But you probably want to

2112
01:44:10,160 --> 01:44:12,000
Speaker 1: go into a physical store if they had one, to

2113
01:44:12,040 --> 01:44:16,960
Speaker 1: get some help with that next time around. Elizabeth writes

2114
01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:18,880
Speaker 1: in Hey, Rich, I listen to the radio show every week.

2115
01:44:18,920 --> 01:44:20,680
Speaker 1: I really enjoy it. I'm not tech savvy, but your

2116
01:44:20,720 --> 01:44:22,720
Speaker 1: show has helped me learn so much. I use all

2117
01:44:22,800 --> 01:44:24,719
Speaker 1: Mac devices, which I love, but I run a PC

2118
01:44:24,960 --> 01:44:27,719
Speaker 1: just for my CAD program. Not long ago, you recommended

2119
01:44:27,760 --> 01:44:30,880
Speaker 1: a great simple printer that scans copies prints. I wrote

2120
01:44:30,880 --> 01:44:33,639
Speaker 1: it down but lost the note. Could you remind me? Yes,

2121
01:44:33,880 --> 01:44:37,600
Speaker 1: the simple printer I mentioned was the Brother. Let me

2122
01:44:37,640 --> 01:44:39,920
Speaker 1: make sure this is the right thing that I wrote

2123
01:44:39,960 --> 01:44:44,439
Speaker 1: down here, this is the brother yep, oh see this

2124
01:44:44,479 --> 01:44:46,840
Speaker 1: is not it you wanted the one. That's uh. I

2125
01:44:46,840 --> 01:44:49,679
Speaker 1: got to look in the show notes, but it's been well.

2126
01:44:49,840 --> 01:44:52,519
Speaker 1: Great question. Great answer your question, because I don't even

2127
01:44:52,560 --> 01:44:54,280
Speaker 1: have it. Let's see if I can find this. I

2128
01:44:54,400 --> 01:44:57,880
Speaker 1: see them using up all my feedbag time. Here. Let's

2129
01:44:57,880 --> 01:45:04,000
Speaker 1: see if I can find this quickly. Brother. Here we go. Nope, nope, nope, yep,

2130
01:45:04,080 --> 01:45:06,479
Speaker 1: here it is. Nope, Okay, I gotta look it up.

2131
01:45:06,840 --> 01:45:10,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's a Brother printer. It's gosh. Okay, Well,

2132
01:45:10,360 --> 01:45:12,960
Speaker 1: off to come back to that one. Let's go to

2133
01:45:13,960 --> 01:45:16,280
Speaker 1: Bob writes and I use unique passwords for every site

2134
01:45:16,320 --> 01:45:18,640
Speaker 1: I visit and rely on a password manager Bitwarden to

2135
01:45:18,680 --> 01:45:20,960
Speaker 1: generate and store them. But today there are login issues

2136
01:45:20,960 --> 01:45:25,320
Speaker 1: with Bitwarden's US servers, which means that functionality is compromised. Luckily,

2137
01:45:25,360 --> 01:45:28,080
Speaker 1: I have copies of the really important passwords. Just a reminder.

2138
01:45:28,520 --> 01:45:31,719
Speaker 1: In the digital world, anything can break, that is true.

2139
01:45:32,160 --> 01:45:34,080
Speaker 1: The downside of you using a password manager, if you

2140
01:45:34,080 --> 01:45:36,680
Speaker 1: can't log into it, that could be a problem. So

2141
01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:40,840
Speaker 1: be sure you save the master password and the recovery password,

2142
01:45:41,400 --> 01:45:44,240
Speaker 1: and you can export your passwords out of there to save.

2143
01:45:44,360 --> 01:45:46,760
Speaker 1: But you got to be careful because that's usually unencrypted,

2144
01:45:47,120 --> 01:45:49,360
Speaker 1: and so if you just have that file floating around

2145
01:45:49,400 --> 01:45:51,840
Speaker 1: in your computer, that could be really bad. So maybe

2146
01:45:51,840 --> 01:45:56,800
Speaker 1: for your main passwords to like Gmail, Google, Facebook, Microsoft,

2147
01:45:57,240 --> 01:46:00,160
Speaker 1: maybe keep those written down somewhere in a safe in

2148
01:46:00,160 --> 01:46:04,639
Speaker 1: your house. Good reminder. Richard and Washington say says, Hey,

2149
01:46:04,720 --> 01:46:06,559
Speaker 1: rich I have a number of friends who use the

2150
01:46:06,800 --> 01:46:08,920
Speaker 1: blank box. I'm not going to say the name, and

2151
01:46:09,160 --> 01:46:11,760
Speaker 1: rave about how it lets them watch free content. Is

2152
01:46:11,800 --> 01:46:13,840
Speaker 1: this legit or is it like Napster? Too good of

2153
01:46:13,880 --> 01:46:17,000
Speaker 1: a thing to last? Yeah, Richard, I do not recommend

2154
01:46:17,040 --> 01:46:21,080
Speaker 1: any of these gray market streaming boxes. They usually operate

2155
01:46:21,120 --> 01:46:24,320
Speaker 1: in a legal gray area, streaming content without proper rights

2156
01:46:24,400 --> 01:46:28,519
Speaker 1: or licenses. The box itself, the software may not be updated.

2157
01:46:28,600 --> 01:46:30,960
Speaker 1: It could expose you to different things. So I cannot

2158
01:46:30,960 --> 01:46:33,479
Speaker 1: recommend those in any way, shape or form. Stick to

2159
01:46:33,560 --> 01:46:37,360
Speaker 1: the legitimate streaming services. Sarah writes in, Hey, Rich, it

2160
01:46:37,400 --> 01:46:41,040
Speaker 1: seems there's no whisper Flow for Android. Is there anything similar? No,

2161
01:46:41,160 --> 01:46:43,640
Speaker 1: I have not found a similar app. Whisper Flow is

2162
01:46:43,760 --> 01:46:47,640
Speaker 1: excellent for voice to text on the iPhone. They are

2163
01:46:47,640 --> 01:46:50,919
Speaker 1: coming to Android. It's just a matter of when. Gabriel

2164
01:46:50,960 --> 01:46:53,200
Speaker 1: writes in, Hey, my name is Gabriel. I really enjoy

2165
01:46:53,240 --> 01:46:56,519
Speaker 1: your show. I'm listening on twelve eighty KIT using a

2166
01:46:56,680 --> 01:47:00,120
Speaker 1: nineteen forty seven tube radio and I love it. Just

2167
01:47:00,120 --> 01:47:02,120
Speaker 1: wanted to share this thought. I can't imagine what the

2168
01:47:02,160 --> 01:47:05,719
Speaker 1: CEOs of RCA, Zenith or Ge in the nineteen forties

2169
01:47:05,760 --> 01:47:08,479
Speaker 1: would think if they saw their product still working in

2170
01:47:08,520 --> 01:47:12,800
Speaker 1: the twenty twenties broadcasting the rise of AI technology. That

2171
01:47:12,960 --> 01:47:16,240
Speaker 1: is so cool. Thanks for Gabriel from Yakima, Washington. Oh

2172
01:47:16,280 --> 01:47:20,439
Speaker 1: my gosh. Anna in Long Beach says you can make

2173
01:47:20,479 --> 01:47:24,280
Speaker 1: the Chevyes sweet corn cake at home chee cheese sweet

2174
01:47:24,280 --> 01:47:27,559
Speaker 1: corn cake mix from Walmart. Just add butter, water and

2175
01:47:27,960 --> 01:47:30,960
Speaker 1: water and a can of cream corn bacon and joy.

2176
01:47:31,640 --> 01:47:34,760
Speaker 1: There you go. And Joel writes in to say he
