Speaker 2: you're there, be sure to sign up for my free newsletter.

9
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: New issue went out this weekend, so be sure to

10
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: read that. Coming up this hour, we've got Brandon Butch,

11
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: tech YouTuber and writer at the Apple Den. He's going

12
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 2: to talk about all things Apple this week, all the

13
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: little announcements that they had, So we'll get on the

14
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 2: line with him and talk big breakthrough from Microsoft. Now

15
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 2: this goes way over my head. It's quantum computing, but

16
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: it seems like a big deal. This is a new chip,

17
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: the Mayorana one. This is a groundbreaking quantum chip powered

18
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: by a new material who invents a new material, all

19
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: topo conductor. They say it's the biggest breakthrough in computing

20
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: materials since silicon. The topo conductor topological semi superconductor is

21
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: not a solid liquid or gas. It's a new state

22
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: of matter that scientists have theorized for about one hundred years,

23
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: but hadn't achieved it until now. My friend I Justine,

24
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: did a great video. She went up to Microsoft and

25
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 2: did a video on this thing. And apparently this this

26
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 2: new chip they made to work has to be in

27
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: like a space that is colder than outer space, like

28
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: in this kind of they put it in this chamber

29
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: just to work.

30
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: That's how wild this stuff is.

31
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: So the main thing about this material is that a

32
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: could drastically speed up quantum computing development, so cutting timelines

33
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: from decades to just a few years. And that means

34
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: that these chips are so incredibly powerful they can solve

35
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: complex problems faster, so things like energy, healthcare, environmental cleanup,

36
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: so things like self healing materials, sustainable agriculture, advanced chemical discoveries.

37
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 2: Because they can compute this stuff so much faster, the

38
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: timeline for figuring out these solutions is quicker. Now, this

39
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: is all theoretical at this point. I mean, they came

40
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: up with this chip and the material, but now they

41
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 2: actually have to somehow use it, and so I think

42
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: that's the next step here.

43
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: But pretty wild.

44
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: Uh.

45
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 2: The topoconductor based cubits cubits are with quantum bits. They

46
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: are so small, one to one hundredth of a millimeter.

47
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't get It's like, how do you

48
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: even think about this stuff? We're talking about things you

49
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: can't even see. Now, here's the whole thing with quantum computing.

50
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 2: There's a lot of errors apparently in the quantum computing

51
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: realm because of the way that these chips are designed.

52
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: So when they're coming up with the calculation, apparently they

53
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: have a lot of mistakes. And so the big thing

54
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: that they've been trying to figure out is how to

55
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 2: make less mistakes. And I guess Microsoft's breakthrough has much

56
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: more error resistance and digital control for better performance. So

57
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: it just sounds wild. I'm excited just because anything with

58
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 2: these breakthroughs we had Google. I talked about a breakthrough

59
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: in quantum computing with Google a couple of weeks ago

60
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: or a couple of months ago, and now we've got Microsoft.

61
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: So again, the timeline for all of this stuff just

62
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: continues to accelerate, and I'm here for it. Very very exciting.

63
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 2: Let's go to Mark in Los Angeles. Mark, you're on

64
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:35,119
Speaker 2: with Rich.

65
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: Rich you excited about quantum computing.

66
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 4: Mark, I'm very excited about it. Maybe it'll solve my problems.

67
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 4: I have two R low camera systems. I've had them

68
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 4: for years and with the old app they've been great.

69
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 4: I had to upgrade to the new app and the

70
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 4: new app is just terrible and difficult and very complicated.

71
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 4: I can't set the same schedules and alerts. I do

72
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 4: have paid subscription. However, the real problem is I called

73
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 4: Arlow customer Service in India. I've spent hours on the

74
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 4: phone with different people and they can't figure it out either. Well,

75
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 4: that's a problem, don't know, you know, it's just too complicated.

76
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 4: When I ask a question, they put me on a

77
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 4: long hold and they come back with an answer that

78
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 4: I know that they don't really understand. My question is

79
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 4: is there a way to get back to the old app?

80
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 4: They said no? Or is there a way to contact

81
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 4: Arlow someone in the US to get like real answers,

82
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 4: like how do I make this all work?

83
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: Well, the second question is a good one. I will

84
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 2: reach out to Arlow and see what they say. But

85
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: I think that have you asked for like an elevated

86
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 2: customer service supervisor?

87
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: Have you done that?

88
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 4: Yes? And and someone is supposed to call me. They

89
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 4: haven't yet, but I mean, you know, I think they

90
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 4: probably will, but everybody, I mean, this is really it's

91
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 4: kind of like the Saunos app. They come up with

92
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 4: a new app ap.

93
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: Oh oh, Mark, don't get me started on it. I

94
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: oh my gosh.

95
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 2: I've had Sonos for since almost since day one, and

96
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 2: my system I I can't. I used to not be

97
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 2: able to speak high enough about Sonos. Now I don't

98
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: think I could ever recommend it to someone because it's

99
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: so terrible. Yeah, the app. I still cannot adjust the

100
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 2: volume on all of my speakers at the same time.

101
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: That is that is insane to me. This is something

102
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 2: that is like, this is.

103
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 4: Almost like the same thing. Now. They have told me

104
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 4: I do have two different locations, which was never a problem.

105
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 4: One of the people said, well, maybe you have to

106
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 4: get it by a second subscription, and I said, well

107
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 4: I never had to before. And if that's the the

108
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 4: the the goal of the new app is just to

109
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 4: make more money, you know. One that's not very It

110
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 4: doesn't make me happy, but it should have been disclosed

111
00:05:58,680 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 4: that way.

112
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

113
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,559
Speaker 2: So okay, so the main system, so your system doesn't

114
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: do what it used to do anymore, correct Okay, Now

115
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 2: when it comes to the app, now, I don't know

116
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 2: how much.

117
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: When did they update this.

118
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 4: Apps, Like a couple of weeks ago, I think it's

119
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 4: pretty recent.

120
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: Do you have an Android or an iPhone?

121
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 4: iPhone?

122
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: Okay, well that's a problem.

123
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 2: So so on Android, you you can go to websites

124
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 2: called APK websites that will give you the actual old

125
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 2: versions of apps. So in this case, if you wanted

126
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 2: to go download the r LO secure from you know,

127
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: a couple months ago, you might be able to find

128
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 2: it on this like an APK website. There's one example

129
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: is called APK Mirror. Now, you got to be careful,

130
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: and I'm talking to Android folks right now, because if

131
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: you're downloading APKs, that is there could be room for viruses, malware, spyware,

132
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: so you do have to be careful. But a lot

133
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 2: of times Google will scan them, you know, in this

134
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: the website that you're getting it from, as long as

135
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 2: it's reputable as well. So I'm just saying proceed at

136
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: your own risk. With iPhone, that is not possible. Once

137
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 2: iPhone upgrades, there's really no way to go back. There's

138
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 2: not a system to do that. So for you mark

139
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: the problem is how do you get these things to

140
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 2: do what you need them to do, and what do

141
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: you need them to do that they're not doing.

142
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 4: It's just the to have two different systems, both easily accessible,

143
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 4: and to go ahead and set different schedules and alerts

144
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 4: for both for either system.

145
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: But they're in different locations.

146
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 4: They are, But that was never ever a problem with

147
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:35,239
Speaker 4: the old app.

148
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I mean so that I don't know because

149
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 2: I don't use our low so I don't really know

150
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 2: why that changed. But I can understand that if you're

151
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 2: looking trying to think like with my standard camera. So

152
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: if they're on two different Wi Fi networks, is that

153
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: what I'm hearing here?

154
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 5: Yeah?

155
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think that is. They probably said, like, look,

156
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 2: if something's on one Wi Fi network, you can't manage

157
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: it from the same place because you're gonna have to

158
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: do you have to log in separately for each network.

159
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 2: Now or do they all show up on the same app?

160
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: They just you just can't control them.

161
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 4: They all show up on the same app. But but

162
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 4: you just now one of them no longer records and

163
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 4: one of them can't be set and in general before

164
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 4: actually that, the the app itself is just terrible in

165
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 4: just in terms of how you you know, have to

166
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 4: now do a very complicated setup for what used to

167
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 4: be a very easy thing. I just hate to have

168
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 4: to buy another subscription when before I didn't have to.

169
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 4: But but but I'm not sure that that's actually going

170
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 4: to solve the problem.

171
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean, so what do you what do

172
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: you need the subscription for for? What do you use

173
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 2: that for?

174
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 4: Uh, it's it's to record and uh, you know, to

175
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 4: record any kind of camera alert camera video, and it

176
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 4: gives you your really good alerts, and you know, I

177
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 4: don't mind paying for It's always functioned really well.

178
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: Have you searched online for the r low app update?

179
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 2: Are there people complaining about this?

180
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 4: I went on the community. Yes, they are complaining.

181
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm looking at Reddit right now. There's a do

182
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: you know about the website Reddit Answers No, yeah, so

183
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 2: I just searched. Reddit Answers is sort of like they're

184
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: you know Reddit, right, Yeah? Okay, so Reddit Answers is

185
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 2: sort of like their AI and so it searches through

186
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 2: all of the reddit forms without you having to do

187
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 2: it and summarizes it and so yeah, people are definitely

188
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 2: having issues with motion detection, GEO fencing, and scheduling the

189
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: user interface. People are threatening to switch to different brands.

190
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 2: Some people have found partial solutions by tweaking settings like

191
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 2: motion sensitivity and redefining activity zones and third party solutions interesting.

192
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 2: Seymour By prompt Ai, I can't I don't know if

193
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 2: I would recommend that, but yeah, it sounds like Mark,

194
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 2: the issues you're having are not unique to you. The

195
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 2: best I can say is I will reach out to

196
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: r Low and see what they kind of say. If

197
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 2: this is a more recent update, which it sounds like

198
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 2: it is. Maybe they're still polishing things, But I would

199
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: say my instinct is telling me that if you're saying

200
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: it's tougher to manage the two different locations because of

201
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: the subscription situation, it's probably because they want to push

202
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 2: you to subscribe in more ways. And that's really and

203
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: this is the sad part about all of the tech

204
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 2: companies at this point, is it used to be technology

205
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 2: was unifying and empowering for the consumer, and now we

206
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 2: are seeing a shift towards benefiting the company first, and

207
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 2: that's always an issue and all these and it's all

208
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 2: because of subscriptions. Once these companies got an idea that,

209
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 2: by the way, we're not going to sell you a

210
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: box of software once, we are now going to have

211
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 2: you subscribe every month for the rest of your life.

212
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: Why would you not want that?

213
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 2: And so it seems like every improvement quote unquote improvement

214
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: we've seen with tech has always been pushing consumers towards

215
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: that subscription for the stuff they really want. I think

216
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 2: that might be what's going on here. Hopefully the app

217
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 2: will get better over time. Eighty eight rich one oh

218
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 2: one eight eight eight seven four to two four one

219
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 2: zero one. Coming up, I'll tell you about Google's new

220
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 2: AI tool that helps you discover your next career, and

221
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 2: Google's bringing one of their best Android features to iOS

222
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 2: kind of sorta. I'll explain you are listening to rich

223
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 2: on tech. Jace writes in on X Hey, rich on Tech.

224
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: I'm a visually impaired person and the home button on

225
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 2: the iPhone is something I strongly value. With the sixteen E,

226
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: it will take a lot of getting used to for me,

227
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 2: and I would prefer still having my home button. I

228
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 2: used an SE three at the moment. Yeah, you know,

229
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 2: that is an interesting point, So it will take some

230
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 2: getting used to. I think that you'll be able to Yeah,

231
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 2: that's going to be interesting, but it's it's good to

232
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 2: have different persons effectives and jas.

233
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: Thanks for that. Appreciate you writing in on that. Google.

234
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: A couple notable items.

235
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 2: First off, Google is bringing one of their best features

236
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: from Android to iPhone, but kindness sort is not going

237
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 2: to work in the same way. If you've listened to

238
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 2: me at all, you've heard me extol the praises of

239
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 2: Circle to Search on Android. I think this is the

240
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 2: differentiator right now between Android and iPhone because anything on

241
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 2: your screen on Android you can search, you can reverse search,

242
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 2: you can circle whatever you need, you can search it.

243
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: On iPhone you can't really do that.

244
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 2: So there's times when someone posts a restaurant or a

245
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 2: link or a phone number, whatever, and if it's not

246
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 2: like something that is clickable, you can't do anything with it.

247
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: But on Android you can.

248
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: You just bring up Circle to Search and it will

249
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 2: find the links, it will find the phone numbers, it

250
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 2: will search the images, it will search the whatever you want,

251
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 2: text translate things. I mean, it's quite miraculous. So anyway,

252
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: in iPhone, there now bringing similar functions calling it Circle

253
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 2: to Search, but they're calling it Search Screen with Google Lens.

254
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 2: And so if you want to try this out, this

255
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 2: is on Chrome or the Google App. You don't have

256
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 2: to screenshot anything. So when Chrome, tap the three dot

257
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 2: menu and then selects Search screen with Google Lens. And

258
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 2: in the Google App, you can tap the three dot

259
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: menu and choose search this screen.

260
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 1: So it's not perfect, but it's a little bit better.

261
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 2: And it's basically being billed as Google Lens but in

262
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 2: a different way. But it's only going to work inside Chrome,

263
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: which is fine if you're using Chrome as your browser

264
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 2: and Google App, which is fine. It's a start, but

265
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 2: the fact that this works across anything on Android is

266
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 2: pretty incredible. And then Google launched a new tool called

267
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 2: Career Dreamer. This is an AI powered tool from Grow

268
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 2: with Google that basically lets you explore potential career paths

269
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 2: based on your skills and also your background and your interests.

270
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 2: So if you're sitting there thinking, gosh, I really kind

271
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 2: of want a new job. Whatever I'm doing is not

272
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: really working, but I've been a professor for twenty years

273
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 2: and I want to try something new, well, this tool

274
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 2: basically has you go through a series of prompts saying Okay,

275
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 2: what are your skills, what's your current classification, what are

276
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 2: your skills, what do you like to do, what's your background?

277
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 2: And then it will come up with things, thanks to AI,

278
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 2: that you may be good for. And it taps into

279
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 2: job market data, so it's like basically finding stuff that

280
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 2: is not a dead end, stuff that's growing based on

281
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 2: the Bureau of Labor Statistics and also job market data

282
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 2: from light Cast. It can also help you make a

283
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: resume a cover letter, but kind of cool if you

284
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 2: want to try it out, grow dot Google slash Career Dreamer,

285
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 2: Grow dot Google slash career Dreamer and pop in your skills.

286
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 2: See where you can go. I should have done this.

287
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 2: I should have done this to see what it comes

288
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 2: up with for me. That'd be fun. Let's see here.

289
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 2: Let's go to Patrick in reading. Patrick, you're on with Rich.

290
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 6: Hello, Rich, Hey, I have ways Wise Security systems okay, and.

291
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 7: I I bought two one.

292
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 2: I've got a heart out here, so I need a

293
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 2: question real quick here, Sorry.

294
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 7: I have I want to know how to connect two

295
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 7: new cameras, but none necessarily Wise cameras. They can pan okay,

296
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 7: because the Wise three PAN doesn't have night vision.

297
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 8: They can't fix it.

298
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: So you want to connect them to what the wise app?

299
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 7: Or no, actually a separate app. Is there an app

300
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 7: that I can connect wise cameras to end it can

301
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 7: be the cheap camera.

302
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: No, you gotta you gotta use the separate apps.

303
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 2: The only thing you could do possibly is bring them

304
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 2: into something like Google Home app. You might be able

305
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 2: to monitor several of them from there. But as far

306
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 2: as I know, I've got a couple different cameras in

307
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 2: my house and they're all on different apps. So if

308
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 2: I want to look at I can look at the

309
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 2: cameras from let's see here, I can look at all

310
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 2: of my let's see here. Yeah, I can look at them.

311
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 2: Let's see those are all Nest cams. Yeah, so it

312
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 2: looks like you have to Yeah, you may be able

313
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: to link them up through the the Google Home app

314
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 2: to view them, but your best bet, Patrick is just

315
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 2: going to be to use the separate apps because you're

316
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: going to get the the full uh you know, the

317
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 2: full features of all these different cameras through their own apps,

318
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 2: their own respective apps. So as far as I know,

319
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 2: you can't just mix and match into one place. But uh,

320
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's these these companies are building silos, right.

321
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 2: They want you to use their app, they want you

322
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 2: to have a subscription, they want you to have all

323
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 2: the same thing. And I think that yes, you'll be

324
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 2: able to do some of the functionality through the Google

325
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 2: Home app if you have that per se, or maybe

326
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 2: through the you know, the Home Kit, the Home on iOS,

327
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 2: but I think for the most part you're gonna.

328
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: Have to be stuck with the separate apps.

329
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 2: Coming up, we're going to talk to Brandon Butch of

330
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 2: the Apple Den about all announcements from Apple this week.

331
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: Right here on rich On Tip.

332
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 2: We've got Brandon Butch here, tech YouTuber and writer at

333
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 2: the Apple Den. Welcome to the show, Brandon, thanks for

334
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 2: having me, Thanks for being here. So I'm here, I'm

335
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 2: I'm hearing a little echo here for some reason.

336
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 1: So let's talk. First off, explain what you do.

337
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 2: I met you at this Samsung event up in San

338
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 2: Francisco and we hit it off. We were chatting and

339
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 2: you know, learned about what you do. But tell me

340
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 2: what you do exactly.

341
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, pretty ironic that we met at a same Tunging

342
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 9: event because I mostly do Apple content, so I've been

343
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 9: doing that since two thousand and eight on YouTube. And

344
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 9: I have a newsletter as well called the Apple Den

345
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 9: where I write about Apple news every week, and that's

346
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 9: just been my thing for a long time, covered the iPhones,

347
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 9: the software, pretty much anything to do with Apple products.

348
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 2: So Apple big announcement this week obviously the new iPhone

349
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 2: sixteen E.

350
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: Uh what do you make of that?

351
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, So that was kind of a surprise because I

352
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 9: think everybody went in expecting an SE four you know,

353
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 9: kind of a continuation of the cheap budget model. So

354
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 9: when Apple announced the price at five ninety nine, it

355
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 9: was a little bit more than people are expecting. But

356
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 9: I think we also got more than people are expecting

357
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 9: with the sixteen E.

358
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: So it's the first ever you know, E model from Apple.

359
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 9: And I personally view this more like an iPhone ten

360
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 9: R from twenty eighteen compared to like an iPhone SE,

361
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 9: So I don't really view it as an SE equivalent.

362
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 9: It kind of is, but I view it more like

363
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,719
Speaker 9: the ten R because it has a lot of the

364
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,239
Speaker 9: you know iPhone fourteen design language, but with a lot

365
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 9: of the more modern iPhone sixteen, like you know, Apple intelligence,

366
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 9: which I think is a big deal. The action button,

367
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 9: the O lead display is a big one because the

368
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 9: iPhone ten R back in the day, the big you

369
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 9: know drawback with that was the LCD display. So yeah,

370
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,959
Speaker 9: I think the sixteen E. It's priced at five ninety nine,

371
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 9: it's two hundred dollars cheaper than the regular sixteen. It

372
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 9: is missing some of the more advanced features, but I

373
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 9: think this is targeted to people who just want to

374
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 9: go into the Apple store. You know, hey, what's the

375
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 9: cheapest iPhone you have. It's going to last me all day,

376
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 9: battery life boom. They say five to ninety nine. It's

377
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 9: two hundred dollars cheaper than you know, the sixteen, but

378
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 9: it still has the sixteen name in it.

379
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: It's an easy sale. I think, yeah, that's that.

380
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 2: That was my kind of thesis at the top of

381
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 2: the show is that I think Apple's going to sell

382
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 2: a ton of these.

383
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: I think so too.

384
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 9: I mean, if you look back at the iPhone ten R,

385
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 9: that was you know, everybody made fun of the iPhone

386
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 9: ten R when that phone came out, you know, back

387
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 9: in the day, and that sold extremely well for Apple.

388
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,239
Speaker 9: So I kind of view this as going down a

389
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 9: more similar path to the as the iPhone ten R

390
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 9: compared to like maybe the previous SE models.

391
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 2: What about this whole modem. I mean, they've got like

392
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 2: a Apple built modem. I know, it was a big

393
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 2: deal when Apple shifted away from the Intel chips and

394
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 2: their computers to their own, and that's just been fantastic.

395
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: Their computers have been so good ever since they did that.

396
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 2: Is this bad for Qualcom?

397
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 9: I think it is bad for Qualcom if you're you know,

398
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 9: maybe an investor, But I think it's great news for

399
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 9: Apple iPhones, especially moving forward. Maybe it'll show up in

400
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 9: other things as well, but iPhones especially. I mean, we

401
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 9: saw the big difference that makes just in battery efficiency

402
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 9: for the first generation of this C one chip. So

403
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 9: it's the C one modem, that's what it's called inside,

404
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 9: and you know, eventually it's so it doesn't have millimeter wave,

405
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 9: it doesn't have the super fast five G speeds just yet.

406
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 9: But you know, most people, especially buying a base model iPhone,

407
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 9: are not going to care or even know what that means.

408
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 2: Oh wait, hold on, So so explain that again, because

409
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 2: I I've seen that Apple keeps saying this is a

410
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 2: five G modem. So first off, the phone will support

411
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 2: four G, right, correct?

412
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: Okay?

413
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 2: But it's not going to have that ultra wideband, so

414
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 2: like like on Verizon, let's say, when you get into

415
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 2: those like really fast speeds when you get into a

416
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 2: UW section or on T Mobile, I think they call

417
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 2: it like UC so will it not support those?

418
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 9: Correct, Yes, it will not support those. That's called millimeter wave,

419
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 9: and that's you know, one of Qualcom's main benefits. So

420
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 9: that's gonna mostly be and like you're really populated cities

421
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 9: New York, California, like in the city, if you're in

422
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 9: a more rural area, it's not gonna you probably never

423
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 9: have seen that before on your phone.

424
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 2: So oh when I see that, Brandon, I'm like, I'm

425
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 2: literally like downloading all of Netflix. When I see that,

426
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, baby, let's down. Let's do whatever

427
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 2: we can to take advantage of this speed. Because something

428
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 2: I mean, I think I've gotten like really really fast,

429
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,239
Speaker 2: like faster than home on some of those Okay, so

430
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 2: the sixteen E anything else that you think is notable

431
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 2: that we should talk about with this device.

432
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think one of the main things that I,

433
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 9: you know, quickly picked up on and a lot of

434
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 9: people have mentioned this as well. So there's no mag

435
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 9: Safe support, so the magnets in the back. You know

436
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 9: a lot of people have the mag Safe wallets that

437
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 9: they just stick on to the back of their phone.

438
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 9: That's not in the iPhone sixteen e. So that's a

439
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 9: big drawback for a lot of people. Also for the

440
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 9: wireless charging, you can wirelessly charge the sixteen e, but

441
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 9: it does not support mag Safe, which enables faster wireless charging,

442
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 9: So that's not the big deal. I think a lot

443
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 9: of people are kind of upset that they can't use

444
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 9: maybe their accessories that they had. However, you can buy

445
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 9: cases with magnets in it, so it's not a complete

446
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 9: lost cause it's just not in the phone itself.

447
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: Right.

448
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 2: And the other thing is the face ID. You know,

449
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 2: of course on my Facebook page, you know where rumored

450
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 2: speculation runs rampant. People commented, Oh, well face ID is

451
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 2: you know your face biometrics are instantly sent to the cloud.

452
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 2: Now I know that not to be true because it's

453
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 2: stored on device, but just can you go over fact,

454
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,479
Speaker 2: like what the difference is between face ID and the

455
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: touch ID.

456
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: Is it as secure?

457
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 3: Yeah?

458
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 9: I think it's more secure because touch ID, you know,

459
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 9: you can take somebody's finger if somebody were to do

460
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 9: something crazy and you know, have your finger without you knowing,

461
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 9: they can unlock your phone, whereas face ID you there's

462
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,719
Speaker 9: a setting where you have to be actually have your

463
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 9: eyes open and looking at the camera. So if you

464
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 9: were knocked out or something and somebody couldn't just put

465
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 9: the phone up to your face and unlock it. So

466
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 9: I think face ID is a lot more secure than

467
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 9: touch ID.

468
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 2: So the other headline that of course a lot of

469
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 2: people are sharing online is this whole cloud encryption change

470
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 2: in the UK. Right, so Apple has this setting where

471
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 2: they can you can super encrypt anything that you send

472
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 2: to the cloud that nobody can tap into and out.

473
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 2: Now they're getting rid of that in the UK, not

474
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 2: in the US, just in the UK. Does that mean

475
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 2: that Apple's looking at your stuff and the government's looking

476
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 2: at your stuff?

477
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: And how big of a deal do you think that is?

478
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, So just a little backstory here real quick. So,

479
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 9: so the UK government basically demanded Apple to create a

480
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 9: backdoor to allow the government to in view to view

481
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 9: that encrypted user data globally. So they were trying to

482
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 9: pitch a back door that would allow the government to

483
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 9: view everybody state, including those in the US, so Apple

484
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 9: of course denied creating that backdoor, and instead they just

485
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 9: decided to pool the end to end encryption for iCloud

486
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 9: storage in the UK, which is called Advanced Data Protection.

487
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 9: So basically, now British user files like the iCloud backup

488
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 9: files will be accessible to Apple, so they'll be able

489
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 9: to be shared with law enforcement if they have a warrant,

490
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 9: things like that. Now, I do not see this happening

491
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 9: in the US whatsoever. The UK has been you know,

492
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 9: pushing back against end encryption for years now for some reason,

493
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 9: so this is kind of bound to happen at some point.

494
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 9: But yeah, I don't see this happening in the US

495
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 9: at all.

496
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 2: How long before Apple just says, you know what, UK,

497
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 2: We're now longer going to do business here.

498
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: I mean, they're changing.

499
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 2: Every aspect of how Apple wants to do business when

500
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 2: it comes to privacy and security by opening up the phone.

501
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: You know, they made them change to USBC, which I

502
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: do like.

503
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 2: But still, you know, they opened up the app store,

504
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 2: the payment method is like all this stuff that's just

505
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 2: like a thorn and Apple side. How much more can

506
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 2: they deal with before they just say, you know what?

507
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 2: Europeans you can't have the iPhone.

508
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, it's such a big market for them

509
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 9: that I don't see that happening. I think they'll continue to, like,

510
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 9: you know, maybe remove features and things like this to

511
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 9: kind of, you know, find a middle ground. But the

512
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 9: thing is a lot of these EU changes where a

513
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 9: lot of people are against it at first, but now

514
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 9: fast forward years later, most people are kind of happy,

515
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 9: you know, that they kind of forced Apple's hand and

516
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 9: doing things like USBC and some of the other ones.

517
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 9: This is the first one that I think, just globally

518
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 9: is just like a bad idea for them, like to

519
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 9: even pitch in the first place.

520
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 2: Okay, we've got about a minute left, so I'm going

521
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 2: to leave it to you. Is there any other I

522
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 2: sent you a whole bunch of topics that I wanted

523
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 2: to touch upon. Is there anything else that you want

524
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 2: to touch upon that you know we haven't yet?

525
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean Vision US two point four. I know

526
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 9: there's probably twelve people out there with an Apple Vision

527
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 9: Pro right now, but you know, Vision of US two

528
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 9: point four is a massive software update that's going to

529
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 9: bring a lot of big features to the Vision Pro,

530
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 9: things like Apple Intelligence supports a companion app for the iPhone,

531
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 9: kind of like with the Apple Watch. So you're gonna

532
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 9: have an app on your phone where you can have

533
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 9: an improved guest mode. You can kind of see what

534
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 9: the person is seeing in the vision Pro from your

535
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 9: iPhone via airplay, which is really cool. So I just

536
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 9: think it's gonna Apple's gonna continue working on the Vision Pro.

537
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 9: Despite the you know, not very many sales of that,

538
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 9: They're still continuing to build it out to be something great.

539
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: Will there be? I mean, is there a future for

540
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: the vision Pro?

541
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 9: I think theree is. I think we're still ways away.

542
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 9: I think the weights and obviously just the infrastructure. It's

543
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 9: still in its infancy. We're only on the second version. Ever,

544
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 9: it's like going back to iPhone when it was iPhone

545
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 9: OS two. We're now on eighteen, you know, sixteen years later,

546
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 9: so I kind of see it following a similar path

547
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 9: where it's going to take quite some time.

548
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: All right, Brandon Butch, thanks for joining me today.

564
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I got so many emails in the past.

565
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 2: Couple of moments here, but I'll get through those and

566
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 2: maybe read a couple on air here.

567
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: Did a segment this week.

568
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 2: You know, I'm also on TV on KTLA five in

569
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,719
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, so I do TV segments, so you can

570
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 2: watch those on YouTube, also on my website. But this

571
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 2: week I talked to Jefferson Graham. He's a friend of

572
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 2: the show. He's been on a bunch. He was a

573
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 2: tech journalist at USA Today for many years now. He

574
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 2: has show called Photo Walks TV, and he shared some

575
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 2: of his top photography tips and number one start out.

576
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 2: I know these sounds simple, but you'd be surprised. Charge

577
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 2: your phone, clear out your storage. Two things I know

578
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 2: seems like a given, but I've seen. I've been at

579
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 2: the plays and the recitals for my kids, the holiday shows,

580
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 2: and I've watched the phones in front of me with

581
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: that dreaded screen that says boop, you're out of storage,

582
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 2: and people are sitting there scrambling to delete things out

583
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:29,719
Speaker 2: of your phone. And by the way, if that happens

584
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 2: to you, the easiest thing to delete a couple of

585
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 2: large videos. He also says, clean your lens. This is

586
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 2: a big one. You have no idea how many people say, hey,

587
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 2: rich or they just come up to me, hey, can

588
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 2: you take a picture? You know, you're at a restaurant

589
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 2: or something, and you know, you go to take a

590
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 2: picture with their phone, and it's like the smudgiest looks

591
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 2: like there's vasoline on the lens. So the first thing

592
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 2: you gotta do is clean your lens.

593
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: He also likes the iPhone.

594
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 2: After you know, trying shooting with the iPhone Samsung Pixel,

595
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 2: he actually prefers the iPhone for its natural colors, and

596
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 2: then he mentioned a couple apps that he likes. Number one,

597
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 2: Adobe Light Room Mobile, I said, well, doesn't that have

598
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 2: a subscription. No, you can use a lot of the

599
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 2: features without subscribing, So I downloaded that Adobe light Room mobile.

600
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 2: He likes this de haze tool, so it makes the

601
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 2: skies look better. So you take a sky and it

602
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 2: just you kind of use that de haze tool and

603
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 2: it just kind of brings out the sky.

604
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: It makes it look a lot better.

605
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 2: He also likes the black Magic camera app for taking

606
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 2: time lapses. He says that the iPhone sort of doesn't

607
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 2: let you change any of the settings with time lapses.

608
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 2: I think he says, they'd limit them to it like

609
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 2: thirty seconds. But if you get one of these apps,

610
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 2: a third party app like black Magic, you can do whatever.

611
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: You want with your time lapses.

612
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 2: And then he likes the Halied app, which has an

613
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 2: anti AI mode, So if you want to take a

614
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 2: photo without any AI, Halid will let you do it.

615
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 2: There's also another one called Zerocam, which I think you

616
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 2: have to pay ten dollars. I think I paid for that,

617
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 2: but you have to It takes pictures without any AI,

618
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 2: so that's called zero cam. He didn't mention that. I'm

619
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 2: mentioning that, but the app that if you download one

620
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 2: thing that I'm talking about. It's called Radiant Photo. R

621
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 2: Adant Radiant Photo. Again, all these apps are like freemium.

622
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 2: You download them, they want you to pay, but you

623
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 2: don't really have to. You can get a lot of

624
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 2: the functionality. But this Radiant Photo, I'm not kidding. I'm

625
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 2: hesitant to even share it because I feel like it's

626
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 2: my secret weapon.

627
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: It literally perfects your photo with not even a tap.

628
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 3: You don't.

629
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 2: All you have to do is put the photo into

630
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 2: it and it will just automatically look at the scene,

631
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 2: sense what you're trying to show, and it will just

632
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 2: perfect it. Like if it's someone's face, if it's a

633
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 2: portrait photo, if it's a landscape, it just somehow does

634
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 2: a really nice job of identifying what that picture is

635
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 2: and making it better. So Radiant Photo iOS Android. Yes,

636
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 2: they may try to get you to subscribe or pay,

637
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 2: but you don't have to. I've I've been using it

638
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 2: for six months, no payment, and it's worked every time.

639
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 2: I Basically any picture that I uploaded social media, I'll

640
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 2: just put in there and just kind of one tap

641
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 2: and it's perfect. Let's go to Mark in Oh, sorry,

642
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 2: let's go to Randy. Randy you're on with Rich.

643
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 10: Hi Rich, I enjoy your show.

644
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: Oh thank you, well, I enjoyed doing it.

645
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 10: I'm not super tech savvy, but I wanted to ask

646
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 10: your opinion if you could just keep it as basic

647
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 10: language as possible. I have an iPhone eleven and I

648
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 10: deleted a video about a year ago, and I regret

649
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 10: doing that. And I've struggled and agonized over finding apps

650
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 10: that will recover deleted and lost photos and videos, and

651
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 10: I'm just totally dumbfounded by them. I did look in

652
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 10: my iPhone backup.

653
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 4: It's gone.

654
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 10: There is there any specific app that you would recommend

655
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 10: that would do the job? Or is it permanently gone?

656
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: A video on the iPhone that you deleted a year ago?

657
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: It is gone.

658
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 2: So I hate to say that, but there are there's

659
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 2: not an app that can bring it back on the iPhone,

660
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 2: let's put it that way. But are there some avenues

661
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 2: that you can explore?

662
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 6: So?

663
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 2: Number one, did you have this backed up in any way,

664
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 2: shape or form to any app?

665
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 10: No other than the iCloud. I'm not even sure if

666
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 10: it was back. Well, it wasn't back.

667
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: It was not.

668
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 2: Okay, what about a backup of your phone? Did you

669
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 2: ever have a backup of your phone.

670
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: No, no, no.

671
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 2: So with those two things, so there's a couple of

672
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 2: ways that you know a photo could be still around.

673
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 2: Number one, when you delete a picture on your iPhone,

674
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 2: it does linger for about thirty days in a special folder.

675
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 2: And I'm sure you've checked this, but it's called recently deleted.

676
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 2: Have you seen that one?

677
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 5: Yes?

678
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, So with the.

679
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 2: Latest iOS, they did add a feature where you have

680
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 2: to authorize your phone before you can look at it.

681
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 2: But on my phone, it's showing me, yeah, twenty nine

682
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 2: days until it deletes the last photo, and it gives

683
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 2: you a little countdown for each picture.

684
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: So that's the first place to look.

685
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 2: And Randy, even though you may not be able to

686
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 2: get this back sadly, I am just going to go

687
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 2: through these these suggestions so that if someone is dealing

688
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 2: with something similar, maybe they deleted a photo by accident,

689
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 2: these are the places they could potentially look. So that's

690
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 2: number one, they recently deleted, and both iPhone and Android

691
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 2: have a version of that, So that's the first place

692
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 2: to check. The second place is an online backup. So

693
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 2: I always recommend that you back up your photos. I

694
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 2: understand for privacy concerns or other reasons. You may not

695
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 2: want to do that, but I always recommend doing that.

696
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 2: That could be through iCloud, that could be through Google Photos,

697
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 2: that could be through one Drive, it could be through iedrive.

698
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 2: I mean, there's so many different ways of backing up.

699
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 2: If you're an Amazon Photo, if you're an Amazon Prime member,

700
00:33:55,600 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 2: they offer free unlimited photo backup at full resolution for

701
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 2: their Prime members. Now as long as you're paying for Prime,

702
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 2: right even if you stop paying, they'll give you a

703
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 2: certain amount of time to download it.

704
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: So those are little.

705
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 2: Avenues to backup photos if you don't want to pay

706
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 2: a lot. The other place to look is a full

707
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 2: phone backup. So when you back up your phone, it

708
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 2: you know, if you have an iPhone, it's backing up

709
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 2: to iCloud like the entire phone. Even if you have

710
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 2: iCloud photos turned off, it's still backing up a copy

711
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 2: of your entire phone to the cloud. So you may

712
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 2: be able to go in there use a program like

713
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 2: I Amazing to extract that photo out of that backup,

714
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 2: or you can restore that backup to another iPhone or

715
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 2: your or your current iPhone and get that photo back

716
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,399
Speaker 2: the other place to look, of course, is iCloud. And

717
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 2: if you're wondering, like, okay, this on my phone? Is

718
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 2: it not on my phone? You can always go to

719
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 2: iCloud dot com and check to see if the picture

720
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 2: is there.

721
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: But those are the avenues, Randy.

722
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 2: There is not a way to find that video that

723
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 2: I know of, unless someone emails me something different that's

724
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 2: been deleted a year ago. Because after a year, you know,

725
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 2: no matter what, that thing is pretty much gone. The

726
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 2: only thing I can think of is if it's something

727
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 2: important in the future, you can upload it to YouTube

728
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 2: as a private video for free.

729
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: Dropbox gives you two gigs of storage. I believe for free.

730
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 2: Most of the main service writers will give you a

731
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 2: couple of gigs of storage completely free.

732
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: I'm sorry this happened to you.

733
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 2: Please back up your photos or put something that you

734
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 2: need to keep in a safe place.

735
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: Eighty eight rich.

736
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 2: One O one eight eight seven four two four one

737
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,479
Speaker 2: zero one more rich on tech coming your.

738
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: Way after this.

739
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 2: Eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

740
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 2: We got the question about earlier about the best Android

741
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 2: music app for an Android phone for local files and

742
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 2: uh CALLI Cardinal fan writes in on a Pulsar is

743
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 2: a reasonably good music player for Android. It is compatible

744
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 2: with Android Auto two. Oh, I like that. That's a

745
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 2: good point. Make sure it's compatible with Android Auto. So

746
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 2: I looked it up, Pulsar Music Player. It's got five

747
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 2: million downloads, four point six in the ratings. And most importantly,

748
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 2: and this is always how you want to judge an app,

749
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:24,439
Speaker 2: by the way, always look at the updated on date,

750
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 2: because if an app is out of update, it's not

751
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 2: going to be you know, they're not it's not actively

752
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 2: getting any improvements or updates. So this was last update

753
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 2: on December eleventh, twenty twenty four, which is just fine.

754
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 2: So again, if you're looking iOS or or Android, always

755
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 2: look at that updated on date, the last update, because

756
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 2: that will give you an idea if an app is

757
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,959
Speaker 2: actively being maintained, or if it's something that's just still

758
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 2: lingering in the store and not really getting any active updates.

759
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 2: So again, we got a lot of a lot of

760
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 2: suggestions on the best Android music app. So we've got

761
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 2: YouTube Music Cloud, which I think that's the easiest. Just

762
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 2: upload your music to YouTube Music. They have a free

763
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 2: service where you can just upload your MP threes and

764
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 2: they'll show up on your phone, Samsung Music if you

765
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 2: have a Samsung phone, and then listeners recommended Double Twist

766
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 2: and Pulsar. And by the way, if you want anything

767
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 2: that I talk about, I take very good show notes.

768
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 1: It's all on the website. Rich on Tech dot tv. Definitely.

Speaker 6: on my camera. I'm a third monitor here and it's fantastic.

776
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 6: The father's going down and getting the fishing and bringing

777
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 6: the fishing up, and then mom fixed the fish apart

778
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 6: and feeds the three babies.

779
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,919
Speaker 2: People are obsessed with this stuff. It's like a big

780
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 2: on YouTube. I think it's one big ad for Big Bear.

781
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 2: That's what I think. Because it is it makes you

782
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 2: want to go there.

783
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 6: Yeah for sure, yeah, not too far away. But I

784
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 6: don't go very often. My question is I do consulting,

785
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 6: and I go to site do site visits from time

786
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 6: to time. And I used to use a Live Scribe

787
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 6: with the ten and the special paper in the audio system,

788
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 6: which has been good. But what can I use now?

789
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 6: With AI emerging? It helped me do interviews that haven't

790
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 6: transcribed instantly or virtually.

791
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: Oh my, how long are you recording? Typically not more

792
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: than an hour?

793
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 6: Half an hour? I mean I get to break it

794
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 6: up and segments if necessary.

795
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 2: Okay, well, my favorite favorite favorite app is called Whisper

796
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 2: Memos w h I spe er Whisper Memos. Are you

797
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 2: on an iPhone or Android?

798
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 6: Oh?

799
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 2: Okay, hold on, that's different. Okay, so if you're on Android,

800
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 2: that's a little bit different. So you're on Samsung or

801
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 2: you on Pixel.

802
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 6: I'm on Samsung, but I also have an iPad. I

803
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 6: usually take an iPad with me.

804
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 2: Okay, well, well, I think I think the best app

805
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 2: right now is the Whisper Memos app. And what I

806
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 2: love about it is that you record and basically it

807
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 2: will transcribe using the latest open AI Whisper model, which

808
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 2: is really good.

809
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: There's there's a couple of ways to do it. Do

810
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: you need to What kind of computer do you have?

811
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:43,359
Speaker 6: I have a basic desktop, okay, Windows desk up.

812
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 2: I mean, there's so many there's so many apps that

813
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 2: do this. There's another one called letterly l e t

814
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,720
Speaker 2: t e r l Y. Now, for what you're doing,

815
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 2: I think the service from otter might be the best one.

816
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,240
Speaker 1: That's for what you're doing. Have you heard of otter

817
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 1: dot ai?

818
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 6: Yeah?

819
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 2: Okay, so I think for your your purposes that might

820
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 2: be the best solution. It all depends on do you

821
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 2: want this to be free? Do you want this to

822
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 2: be free or do you or do you mind paying?

823
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 6: I don't mind paying, but I like free all the

824
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 6: time too.

825
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, So I mean I love free too. So

826
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 2: what I do and I transcribe every interview I do

827
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 2: for TV. So when I interview someone, we record it

828
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 2: and then I transcribe it. And so what I do

829
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 2: is I take that audio and drop it into an

830
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 2: app called mac whisper m A c w h I

831
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 2: s p e er now the equivalent for other. There's

832
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 2: another app called Descript, which I used to use and

833
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 2: that you can use as well. Anytime you're doing something

834
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 2: for business. It's tough to get the free because you're

835
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 2: using it more than what the free allotment is. Right,

836
00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 2: So with something like descript, you can use it for free,

837
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 2: but as soon as you go over a certain amount,

838
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to start paying. So it all depends

839
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 2: on how much you're using this with built into the

840
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 2: phones nowadays, they've got so many different options for transcribing.

841
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 2: So you mentioned you have a Samsung, Yes I do.

842
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 2: Do you have the latest one UI on it or no? Like,

843
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,320
Speaker 2: do you have the AI features or no?

844
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 6: I don't think so. I have the S twenty two

845
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 6: Anthrom that I hadn't upgrading to AI.

846
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 2: Okay, so yeah, if you have the S twenty two Ultra,

847
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 2: that's not gonna have the AI because basically at this point,

848
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 2: the iPhone, the Pixel, and the Samsung they all have

849
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 2: audio recording on them that also transcribes for free. So

850
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 2: that's another way of doing it. But if you've got

851
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 2: the S twenty two, they just I think they just

852
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 2: announced the one UI beta. Let's see one UI seven

853
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 2: beta rolls out to more phones.

854
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:56,439
Speaker 1: Let's see.

855
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 2: Yeh see it's going to the S twenty three. Yeah,

856
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 2: so it's it's not to your phone just yet, but

857
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 2: that would be a good way to do it. But

858
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 2: I mean, look, there's a lot of options out there.

859
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 2: I think that one of these AI kind of it

860
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 2: depends if you want your phone to do it one

861
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 2: hundred percent, if you want your phone to do it

862
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 2: from start to finish, I'd probably recommend something like otter

863
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 2: dot AI. If you don't mind taking the file and

864
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 2: transcribing it later, then I would use something like a

865
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 2: descript That would probably be the best option there. And

866
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 2: then you know, there's just there's so many ways of

867
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 2: doing this, but I think those are probably some good

868
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 2: ways to start doing it. But again, I so what

869
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 2: I do is I get my file, I throw it

870
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 2: into mac Whisper, and then I will use that transcription

871
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 2: and then toss that into something like a chat GBT

872
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 2: just to get some key takeaways things like that to

873
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 2: help me think about crafting my story around that. There

874
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 2: is a I'm trying to find there is a transcription.

875
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 2: Let's see where it is. There is a transcription website

876
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 2: that I will look up the url, but I shared it.

877
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 2: It's a free transcription on like basically any computer, so

878
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 2: it's hosted on hugging face. I gotta find the website though,

879
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 2: but that one's pretty cool and I will put that

880
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 2: in the show notes. Rich on tech dot tv is

881
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 2: where you can find that. Thanks for the call ron

882
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 2: appreciate it. There are so many it's so funny. I

883
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 2: went from never ever transcribing my interviews to now I

884
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 2: transcribe everything. In fact, I have a folder inside my

885
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 2: notes of transcriptions, so anything someone says, I can go

886
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 2: back and just and I record everything. All my meetings

887
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 2: I take now, like if I go to like a briefing,

888
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 2: I will record that.

889
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: On my phone.

890
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,879
Speaker 2: And it's just gotten so incredibly easy to do this

891
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 2: process of transcribing that it's like, why not just have everything?

892
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 2: And I think that you know, with the later phones,

893
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,439
Speaker 2: the newer phones that handle the AI stuff, it really

894
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 2: makes it a lot easier because it's built in for free,

895
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 2: like I said, on the Pixel phones, the latest Samsung phones,

896
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,760
Speaker 2: and of course the iPhones if they support the iOS eighteen.

897
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: It's all right there for free.

898
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 2: But if you don't have access to the free services,

899
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 2: you can always do some of the paid stuff that

900
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 2: will work just as well. And I'll put everything I mentioned,

901
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 2: by the way in the show notes Rich on tech

902
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 2: dot TV. I know I mentioned a lot of different services,

903
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 2: but it sort of depends on what you want out

904
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,919
Speaker 2: of them, which one is the best for you. Eighty

905
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 2: eight rich one O one eight eight eight seven four

906
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 2: to two four one zero one visited the new Google

907
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 2: store in Santa Monica, California. It's at the Third Street Promenade.

908
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,240
Speaker 2: If you're familiar with LA one of my favorite places.

909
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 2: I joke, it's one of the first places I ever

910
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 2: visited when I came to California, and I thought this

911
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 2: was like heaven on Earth. I have never seen anything

912
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,760
Speaker 2: like this in my life. Growing up in New Jersey,

913
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 2: it was an outdoor mall on a street and I'm

914
00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 2: talking vibrant. Adam, you remember this In the day, Third

915
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 2: Street Promenade was like the place to go for everything,

916
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 2: and you just stroll down the street. You'd get a

917
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 2: Wetzel's Pretzels, You'd go into Barnes and Noble browse the books.

918
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 2: You'd go into all these stores, never buying anything, or

919
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 2: maybe you did, you know something little, but you could

920
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 2: just spend a whole night there and you know, you'd run.

921
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: Into people, you'd see people. It was just so great.

922
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 1: Now it's gone through some ups and downs.

923
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 2: Hopefully it's back on its way up after you know,

924
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 2: pandemic really was tough on the outdoor malls. But anyway,

925
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 2: so now they've got a new Google Store there where

926
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 2: you can check out the pixel phones, they're watches, Nest devices.

927
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 2: You can get a help desk, so if you need

928
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 2: a screen repair, you can do that, or you need

929
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 2: your device swapped, if you have a warranty on it,

930
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 2: they can do that.

931
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: This is their sixth store.

932
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 2: They've got them in New York, Chicago, Mountain View they're headquarters,

933
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:54,600

00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,799
Speaker 2: the side, it completely changes color. I talk to the

946
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:32,080

951
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:46,360

Speaker 2: Mort rich on Tech coming your way right after this

953
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 2: the website rich on tech dot tv. During the breaks,

954
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 2: I am furiously taking notes about everything I mentioned, and

955
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:10,280
Speaker 2: so we just have a question about the U transcriptions

956
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 2: of recorded meetings. So I put all of the services

957
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 2: that I mentioned on the website, and you kind of

958
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:17,399
Speaker 2: have to pick the one that works for you. They're

959
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 2: all kind of different, but I like aspects of each

960
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 2: one of them. But the website that I was looking

961
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 2: for that does it on the web. If you have

962
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:29,839
Speaker 2: a file, like an audio file that you want to

963
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 2: transcribe quickly and easily and free, there's a website. It's

964
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:39,840
Speaker 2: a whisper Web. So it's actually hosted on hugging Face.

965
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 2: So I have to it's too long of a URL

966
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 2: to give you over the radio. But if you go

967
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 2: to the website rich on Tech dot tv or just

968
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 2: search hugging Face whisper Web, that should bring you. Let

969
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:56,839
Speaker 2: me just make sure hugging Face whisper web. Yeah, that'll

970
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 2: bring it. That'll bring you right there, and that's completely free,

971
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 2: and it does speech recognition transcription right in your browser,

972
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 2: so it's nice in private, and that's a freeway of

973
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:10,279
Speaker 2: transcribing stuff. If you have a Windows computer or a

974
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 2: Chromebook or a Mac whatever, it'll work on all those.

975
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 1: So there you go.

976
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 2: Eighty eight rich one O one eight eight eight seven

977
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 2: four two four one zero one. Coming up this hour,

978
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 2: we're going to talk to doctor Gita, doctor g Uh,

979
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:29,280
Speaker 2: doctor Gita Nayir. She's going to talk about healthcare misinformation

980
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,359
Speaker 2: on social media. Yeah, there's a lot of it, so

981
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 2: she'll talk about that. We had a question from Reggie

982
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 2: in South Carolina that apparently I guess Reggie didn't want

983
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 2: to be on the air, but was asking about tax

984
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 2: time and software that you like, and so I will

985
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 2: tell you what I use this year, which was absolutely incredible.

986
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,360
Speaker 1: I love it and it is so good.

987
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:59,720
Speaker 2: It's called flyfinn flyfinn dot I guess their websites flyfinn

988
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:03,439
Speaker 2: dot com tax but it's called fly finn Ai. And

989
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 2: this was one of the first guests I ever had

990
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 2: on this show, and basically I found this app and

991
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 2: it is incredible if you are even if you're not

992
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 2: a freelancer, Like, it's just so easy because the way

993
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:18,320
Speaker 2: this app works, you download the app to your phone,

994
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 2: right and if you're a freelancer, this is like or

995
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 2: whatever you are, it's still incredible. But basically what they

996
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,720
Speaker 2: do is that you connect your bank accounts to this app,

997
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 2: and then as you get transactions in those accounts, AI

998
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 2: will go through and suggest if that's a write off

999
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 2: or not, and basically put it into the categories as

1000
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 2: you go along during the year, and so when it

1001
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:44,919
Speaker 2: comes to tax time, your taxes are like ninety nine

1002
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 2: point nine percent done, and then you can either do

1003
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 2: them yourself and just use all the categories and everything

1004
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,320
Speaker 2: that you've already categorized, or you can use one of

1005
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 2: their CPAs to do it. And I will tell you

1006
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 2: with the caveat that the CPA seemed to be overseas

1007
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 2: because I got like a little warning that my tax

1008
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 2: return was being handled overseas. I think, so, you know,

1009
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 2: if you're comfortable with that, But I'm telling you, this

1010
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 2: is the easiest thing I've ever used in my life,

1011
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 2: and it's so easy. They handle everything, and so you

1012
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 2: go through, you have all this stuff on the app,

1013
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 2: and then the CPA asks you questions, so you'll get

1014
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 2: all these questions.

1015
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 1: You just respond with your answers.

1016
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 2: You send them all your documents if they need it

1017
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 2: at the end of the year and they complete it all.

1018
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:30,399
Speaker 1: And I was looking at it today.

1019
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:32,839
Speaker 2: It was like ninety eight pages, you know, and you

1020
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:36,320
Speaker 2: sign it all electronically, and it's it's really really slick.

1021
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 2: So I think it's incredible. And it's not that expensive.

1022
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:44,240
Speaker 2: It's way cheaper than you know. I had a CPA

1023
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 2: do my taxes last year, and I'm not kidding. It

1024
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 2: was not a very good experience. I was not very

1025
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 2: happy and it was very expensive. And that's why I

1026
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 2: went back to the app. Because I did the app

1027
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 2: the year before. It was almost too easy. I was like,

1028
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 2: all right, this is too easy, too cheap, like what's

1029
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 2: the catch? And then I use the CPA and I

1030
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 2: was like this is too expensive and way too complicated.

1031
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:07,959
Speaker 2: And now this year I went back to the app

1032
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 2: and I was just like, all right, this is the

1033
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 2: way it is. It's so easy, it's so great, and

1034
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 2: I love it, Like I can't speak highly enough of this.

1035
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 2: The pricing, you know, it depends. Okay, they've got three plans. Yeah,

1036
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 2: so they have a standard plan where if you're just

1037
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 2: individual then they've got the premium.

1038
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: And the ultimate.

1039
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,439
Speaker 2: But I'm telling you, oh, the other thing is, let's

1040
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 2: say you have during the year. Let's say you have

1041
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 2: an expense and you're like, I'm not sure if this

1042
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,399
Speaker 2: is even a write off. I'm not even sure if

1043
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 2: this is deductible. You can flag it and your CPA,

1044
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 2: the person they assigned they have like all you know,

1045
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 2: even if you don't have your own CPA, like if

1046
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 2: you don't pay for that level, they still have a

1047
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 2: whole bunch of CPAs they employ that just look at

1048
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 2: these questions all day long and then respond to you.

1049
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 2: So if you went out to lunch with someone in

1050
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 2: discuss business and you're like, I don't know, is this

1051
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:56,760
Speaker 2: a business expense?

1052
00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: You flag that expense. It sends it to them. They

1053
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 1: take a look at it and say, oh, yeah, that's categorized.

1054
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 2: Under this boom done. I mean, it's really really incredible.

1055
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 2: It's called flyfinn aiflyfin dot tax is the website.

1056
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 1: I really like it.

1057
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 2: I tried doing the turbo tax thing, and I think

1058
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 2: that that's probably my second favorite. And the reason I

1059
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 2: like it, I know it's complicated. I know they, you know,

1060
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 2: do all the stuff where they fight to make taxes

1061
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:24,839
Speaker 2: complicated and all that stuff, or people say they do.

1062
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 2: But I like it because they do a lot of

1063
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 2: returns and so it's like there's strength in numbers where

1064
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 2: they've seen a lot of data. And so anytime someone's

1065
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 2: seen a lot of data, I always like kind of

1066
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 2: like that. But you know, at the end of the day, look,

1067
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:39,880
Speaker 2: going to like a person in your neighborhood is probably

1068
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 2: the easiest and nicest. But for me, you know, I

1069
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 2: like to do everything online. So to me, this worked

1070
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:47,879
Speaker 2: eight and eight Rich one on one eight eight eight

1071
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,839
Speaker 2: seven four two four one zero one coming up, we'll

1072
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 2: talk misinformation when it comes to help on the internet.

1073
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: Surely you're on with Rich.

1074
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 11: Hi. Rich. I'm super excited. I'm starting my retirement degree

1075
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 11: and I have a computer I haven't used in three years.

1076
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 11: It is probably six years old. So I turn it

1077
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:20,799
Speaker 11: on and it said battery half uh, like depleted. So

1078
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 11: I just need it for like word and typing in

1079
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:25,840
Speaker 11: a class or typing notes at a meeting.

1080
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 3: That's it.

1081
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,319
Speaker 11: But of course I want to save it and then

1082
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 11: send it, you know, send it somewhere as a PDAF size,

1083
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 11: just wondering what does that mean to me? With this

1084
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:39,839
Speaker 11: battery half depleted? It's an HP, it's I think it's

1085
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:43,720
Speaker 11: a seventeen inch laptop. Like it's super nice, hardly used,

1086
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 11: but I want to use, you know, make use of

1087
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 11: something instead of just going out and getting another one.

1088
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:50,320
Speaker 11: What do you think?

1089
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:50,760
Speaker 7: Well?

1090
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:51,760
Speaker 1: Is it working?

1091
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 11: It turns on and then it goes right off. And

1092
00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 11: it just said battery half So I'm like, can't you

1093
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 11: like to me? It's like, well, what's with the half battery?

1094
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 11: I can't. If it took me a half battery for

1095
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 11: the first few years, can I use the other half

1096
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 11: for the next like five months a year?

1097
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:13,839
Speaker 1: Okay? So you turn Okay, So this is an HP.

1098
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:15,360
Speaker 1: What do you know the model?

1099
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 11: No, off hand.

1100
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:18,359
Speaker 1: So it's an HP.

1101
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,359
Speaker 2: You've had it for six years. So does it work

1102
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:22,319
Speaker 2: when you plug it in?

1103
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 11: Yes, it turns on. It turns on and then tell

1104
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 11: me about the battery and then it goes off.

1105
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 1: Can you remove the battery?

1106
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:36,879
Speaker 11: I haven't touched anything, but I don't know, but go ahead,

1107
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 11: and I'm listening you remove it. What do you mean.

1108
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:45,360
Speaker 1: Does the battery pull out of the does the battery

1109
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:45,919
Speaker 1: pull out.

1110
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 11: Oh, probably because it's fairly new. I mean, it's not

1111
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 11: that old to me, it's not that old.

1112
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 8: I'm sure it will.

1113
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 11: But what about it.

1114
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 2: Well, if you could pull out the battery, then you

1115
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 2: could just replace the battery and get a new one.

1116
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 2: So I would, Yeah, so I would. I would bring

1117
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 2: this somewhere you can look up on Yelp, like a

1118
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 2: local repair shop, computer repair shop. If if the computer

1119
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,319
Speaker 2: is doing what you need it to do when it

1120
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:15,360
Speaker 2: turns on, you know, if it's if it's going to

1121
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 2: accomplish the tasks you need, then I would just spend

1122
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 2: a couple, you know, a couple bucks on a new battery.

1123
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 2: It's probably HP replacement battery. Let's see how much that

1124
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,360
Speaker 2: would be. I'm guessing like one hundred, one hundred and

1125
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 2: fifty three up to maybe three hundred bucks. But it

1126
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 2: all depends, you know.

1127
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 1: But I would.

1128
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't find a price on here right now,

1129
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 2: but that's what I would do. So HP has a

1130
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 2: so you can't get this thing to turn on at all.

1131
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:44,919
Speaker 11: It goes on with that like a pretty screen saver,

1132
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 11: and then it says batteries half like done, have you?

1133
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 1: And that's when it's plugged in.

1134
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 11: When it's been plugged in overnight. I can't set plugged

1135
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:54,800
Speaker 11: in now just to see what happened.

1136
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 1: Okay, so you've left it.

1137
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, like, leave it plugged in for

1138
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 2: a long like longer than you think and see what

1139
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 2: happens there. But if it's okay, So if it's if

1140
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 2: it's been plugged in overnight, which gives it plenty of

1141
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 2: time to charge that battery, and it's still not turning on,

1142
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 2: there's something going on there. And typically even with like

1143
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 2: a laptop that the battery is depleted, it would still

1144
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:21,760
Speaker 2: turn on with the yeah, with the battery out. But okay,

1145
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 2: so I think what you need to do is I

1146
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:25,800
Speaker 2: would bring this to a shop get an estimate.

1147
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: Where do you live? You said, Long Beach, Long Beach?

1148
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 2: Okay, so there are let's see here, there are places

1149
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:36,280
Speaker 2: called you break I Fix.

1150
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 1: Have you heard of that?

1151
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:38,399
Speaker 12: Yes?

1152
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 2: Okay, So I would bring it there. They will give

1153
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:42,799
Speaker 2: you a free estimate and see what that estimate is.

1154
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:47,359
Speaker 2: And if it's I would say for a six year

1155
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 2: old computer to replace the battery, I would not spend

1156
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,760
Speaker 2: more than one hundred and fifty bucks on that because

1157
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 2: six years for a Windows laptop. It's probably not going

1158
00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:59,359
Speaker 2: to be the best, and you can get a new

1159
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 2: laptop for five hundred, six hundred dollars, so I would

1160
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 2: probably put my money more towards that than this repair.

1161
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 1: If it's more than that money. That makes sense, yes, sir, Okay.

1162
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 2: So check that out and if you if you need

1163
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 2: a recommendation on a new laptop after you do this,

1164
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 2: but call me back next time after you get this estimate,

1165
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 2: call me back and let me know what they say.

1166
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 8: Okay, off the.

1167
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 11: Top of your head, what would be a good college laptop,

1168
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 11: like an extensive like Lenovo or something like just something

1169
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 11: to get by.

1170
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 2: To the next like, well, I think I think the

1171
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 2: I think the MacBook Air at eight ninety nine for

1172
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:38,720
Speaker 2: a brand new M four chip is going to be

1173
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 2: your absolute best choice because you're gonna get ten years

1174
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 2: out of that thing and it's going to be incredible.

1175
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 1: The battery life is going to be incredible.

1176
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 2: Ariis four mac Book MacBook Air M four and it

1177
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 2: just came out comes out actually on March twelfth.

1178
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 1: But I would go with that.

1179
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 2: That's going to get you through whatever you need for

1180
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 2: your study and longer and when you're done with it,

1181
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 2: you can pass it down to someone that that also

1182
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 2: needs a laptop while you get a new one.

1183
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:06,959
Speaker 1: So that's how.

1184
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 11: Good got awesome. Thank you, sir, Thank you very much.

1185
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 2: All right, Shirley, thanks for the call. Triple eight Rich

1186
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 2: one on one eight eight eight seven four to two

1187
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 2: four one zero one. Let's go to Tom and Woodland Hills. Tom,

1188
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 2: you're on with Rich.

1189
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 8: Hey, Rich, good show.

1190
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 1: Thank you.

1191
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 8: I've got a weird one for you. I've got Sonos

1192
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 8: one speakers with the Sonos app which has Alexa enabled,

1193
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 8: and I can play other iHeart radio stations like KOs

1194
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 8: and things like that, but I can't play Kfi.

1195
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 1: Can't play Kfi. No hm, that's so why not?

1196
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 3: It says, hold on here, Alexa play Kfi.

1197
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 2: Okay here, I hear it working right now. Okay, so

1198
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 2: I hear I heard it said. I'm having trouble playing that. Okay,

1199
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 2: So you're trying to do the voice assistant there. The

1200
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 2: The short answer is, I'm not sure. I don't know

1201
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 2: if anything changed. I don't know if anything uh is

1202
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 2: going on in the background. I do know that things

1203
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 2: sort of happen sometimes that may impact that, but in general,

1204
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 2: can you bring it up through the app.

1205
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 1: Like if okay, so I will let's see. So it's

1206
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 1: just a voice in.

1207
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 6: The Sona's app itself.

1208
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 8: I can't but you know I could use wait.

1209
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 1: Why can't you through the soap?

1210
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 8: I don't know, it just wouldn't do it.

1211
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 2: Okay, well if you so, if you go into your

1212
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:50,920
Speaker 2: services on the Sono SAP, there is an iHeartRadio service

1213
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 2: and that's kind of like a fool proof way of

1214
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 2: of getting it to play. So I would try that.

1215
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:03,400
Speaker 2: And sometimes these radio stations are also on that tune in,

1216
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 2: which also is on iHeart or sorry on so NOS,

1217
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 2: so I would check for it there as well, but

1218
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 2: bring those two services in if something you know and this,

1219
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 2: if this continues not working, you might try to disconnect

1220
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 2: your Alexa from Sonos and bring it back, or do

1221
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 2: a restart of your sons system on the app, like

1222
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 2: just say restart your system. But you know, I'm angry

1223
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:30,000
Speaker 2: at Sonos right now in general because they have really

1224
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 2: failed me in the past year of their speakers, because

1225
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:37,760
Speaker 2: I have them in every room and they I still

1226
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 2: can't adjust the volume across all my speakers with this

1227
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 2: new app.

1228
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 1: It's just like it's slow.

1229
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 2: One of my speakers skips every song like it just

1230
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:49,280
Speaker 2: it plays half the song and then skips it. So

1231
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 2: sons and you know, the CEO recently either left the

1232
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 2: company or was pushed out, so they've been going through

1233
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 2: some issues with their quality control there, so maybe that's

1234
01:00:58,720 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 2: part of it.

1235
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:01,680
Speaker 1: But you should be able to play it. So I

1236
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 1: would do those two steps.

1237
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 2: I would disconnect the uh maybe first restart your system,

1238
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 2: see if that helps them. Maybe disconnect the Alexa service,

1239
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:11,960
Speaker 2: bring it back on board and see if that helps.

1240
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:14,920
Speaker 2: But I do think all of this is going to

1241
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:19,000
Speaker 2: get better when Alexa is infused with AI, because I

1242
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,160
Speaker 2: think she's gonna be able to understand what we're trying

1243
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 2: to do a lot better. And even though you just

1244
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:25,960
Speaker 2: said play KFI, I think you're gonna be able to

1245
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 2: do a lot more with Alexa when it comes to

1246
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 2: music and streaming and all that stuff once she understands

1247
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 2: sort of natural language commands. But Tom, I you know

1248
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 2: source subject for me this so no stuff because they

1249
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 2: just had the best speakers and service in the world

1250
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:46,920
Speaker 2: until they decided to redo the app, and then just

1251
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 2: everything started going wrong after that, and I ended up

1252
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 2: getting rid of my speakers and replacing them with Amazon

1253
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 2: Echoes and then that was fine. But I kind of

1254
01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:57,959
Speaker 2: like the grouping of the speakers, and I like having

1255
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 2: them everywhere, and I like the app. And they're slowly

1256
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 2: but surely clawing their way back to a working system again.

1257
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:06,720
Speaker 1: But it's been really, really tricky.

1258
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 2: Eighty eight rich one on one eight eight eight seven

1259
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 2: four two four one zero one. We're going to try

1260
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:16,600
Speaker 2: to get our guests coming up to talk about medical misinformation.

1261
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 1: Uh, we'll see if we can get them on the line.

1262
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 1: Coming up right here on rich on Tech.

1263
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 2: My next guest is going to break down the growing

1264
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 2: crisis of healthcare misinformation. Uh, doctor Gita Nayer, Doctor g

1265
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:37,000
Speaker 2: welcome to the show.

1266
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:39,560
Speaker 12: Thank you so much for having me, Rich.

1267
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 1: So tell me. Let's let's just start with tell me

1268
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 1: what you do.

1269
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 2: First off, you've got you know, you're you've been on

1270
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 2: all kinds of places talking about healthcare, your doctor. So

1271
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 2: why are you interested in this idea of healthcare misinformation?

1272
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 12: Well, you know, Rich, I'm a doctor, a technologist as

1273
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 12: well as a best selling author on exactly this topic

1274
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:06,000
Speaker 12: and disinformation in the era of health tech, AI, social media,

1275
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 12: all the things we your viewers know and love and

1276
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 12: really because as a physician, I've just run into this

1277
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 12: so many times, and having come from a tech background,

1278
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:19,720
Speaker 12: was previously chief medical officer of salesforce at and T.

1279
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 12: I understand the power of tech, and I believe in

1280
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 12: the power of tech, but you still got to understand

1281
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:29,480
Speaker 12: what you're looking at and what and how it affects

1282
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 12: your body. And so this has really become a passion

1283
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:32,440
Speaker 12: project for me.

1284
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 2: So I imagine that are we talking Like basically people

1285
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 2: see this crazy stuff on TikTok and then they start

1286
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,840
Speaker 2: doing it, or you know, it used to be you

1287
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 2: would just google like what your symptoms were, and you

1288
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:47,400
Speaker 2: would just follow like what was it WebMD or something.

1289
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 2: And of course at the end of the day, I

1290
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 2: always made the joke like, no matter what you have,

1291
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:53,480
Speaker 2: you're gonna die, because it's like if you just go

1292
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 2: down this rabbit hole of like the worst possible thing

1293
01:03:56,120 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 2: and then you go to the actual doctor and like,

1294
01:03:58,080 --> 01:03:59,600
Speaker 2: oh no, here, all you need is this little creamy

1295
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:00,120
Speaker 2: to be fine.

1296
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 12: Exactly, you got it. Look in today's post pandemic world,

1297
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:08,480
Speaker 12: the everyday consumer out there is really hungry and thirsty

1298
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 12: for healthcare information, and you're right, they're going to doctor Google.

1299
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:15,880
Speaker 12: But more often than not, they're going to doctor TikTok. Right.

1300
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 12: We know that fifty nine million Americans turn to social

1301
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 12: media for questions about their health. And I think social

1302
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:24,760
Speaker 12: media is a great asset and tool, but you have

1303
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 12: to be mindful of what you're actually looking at, who

1304
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 12: is it that you're following, and that you understand and

1305
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 12: know when to take some of that information with a

1306
01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 12: grain of salt.

1307
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 1: So how do you know? I mean, like, let's give

1308
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 1: an example.

1309
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:38,800
Speaker 2: Now, this may not be medical, but you know there's

1310
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 2: a big trend right now of like eating your weight

1311
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:44,040
Speaker 2: in protein every day or something ridiculous like that. So

1312
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 2: I mean that kind of stuff I feel like started

1313
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:50,000
Speaker 2: on social media and we've seen a million of these trends.

1314
01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 1: How do you know what's real what's not?

1315
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:54,880
Speaker 12: You know, there's a couple of things you can do

1316
01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:57,480
Speaker 12: if you're out there and interested in your health. Number One,

1317
01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:00,560
Speaker 12: checking the source, Right is this something coming from if

1318
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 12: you're looking for something for your kids? The American Academy Pediatrics,

1319
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 12: the American Medical Association, the American Whatever Association. Right, So

1320
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 12: one looking for who is the source? Keeping in mind

1321
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 12: there are actually associations out there that are for patients,

1322
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:17,360
Speaker 12: four people with diabetes, four patients with heart disease. They're

1323
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:21,440
Speaker 12: always going to be propagating information that is good for

1324
01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:25,400
Speaker 12: the consumer. So that's one two. Looking for inflammatory language,

1325
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:28,480
Speaker 12: right the always or never, You know, the human body

1326
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 12: doesn't tend to work in extremes and complex scientific things

1327
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:35,480
Speaker 12: can rarely have a simple solution or a hack like

1328
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:39,320
Speaker 12: eating your weight in protein. Third, you have to understand

1329
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:41,480
Speaker 12: your body is not the same as everyone's body. Right,

1330
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:43,560
Speaker 12: If you've got kidney issues, I can tell you that's

1331
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:46,400
Speaker 12: a bad plan. So you've got to know your own body.

1332
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:48,919
Speaker 12: You have to know your own health. And lastly, rich

1333
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 12: you've got to have your own doctor right when and

1334
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:55,120
Speaker 12: where you can double check things and actually get personalized

1335
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 12: information that is for you, relates to your family history

1336
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:00,600
Speaker 12: and look, I know access is an issue, depends if

1337
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:02,440
Speaker 12: you have health insurance, depends where you are. It can

1338
01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:04,240
Speaker 12: take a while to get an appointment. But there are

1339
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 12: a lot of online virtual telemedicine services out there now.

1340
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:10,080
Speaker 12: And so if you are feeling like you are reading

1341
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:12,440
Speaker 12: a lot of stuff but you're quite unsure of what

1342
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 12: to do, make that doctor's appointment. It's going to help

1343
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 12: you make the final decision and also get you information

1344
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:21,800
Speaker 12: that's just tailored to you, not just to the general population.

1345
01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 2: It's so wild, and I'll admit this for myself, but

1346
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 2: you know, when you have any sort of issue, you're

1347
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 2: always scared to go to the doctor because you don't

1348
01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:29,760
Speaker 2: want to find out what it actually is. But the

1349
01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 2: reality is it's probably better to know what it is

1350
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:33,280
Speaker 2: than to not.

1351
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:37,280
Speaker 12: Absolutely prevention is always going to be the key in medicine.

1352
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 12: We want you to get the mammogram, the colonoscophy before

1353
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:41,920
Speaker 12: you get breast cancer of colon cancer, so it is

1354
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 12: always wise to know. It can be scary. I agree

1355
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 12: with that, and I understand that emotion, but you know,

1356
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:51,320
Speaker 12: knowledge is power, and I love that patients want to read.

1357
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:54,560
Speaker 12: I often exactly what we said. I often direct my

1358
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:58,200
Speaker 12: patients when we make a new diagnosis like glupus, matoriitter earthritis.

1359
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:00,160
Speaker 12: I'll say, look, I want you to read everything and

1360
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:02,680
Speaker 12: come back and ask me your questions. But here's the

1361
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 12: top three sites, here's the top three influencers that I follow,

1362
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:08,600
Speaker 12: And so don't be afraid to have that conversation too

1363
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 12: with your doc, which is where should I be reading,

1364
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 12: what should I be aware of? And one more tipperach

1365
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 12: if they're selling something, if they're selling you a supplement,

1366
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 12: if they're selling you something for just nine ninety nine

1367
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:22,480
Speaker 12: or click here for this subscription, that's often a really

1368
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:24,720
Speaker 12: big red flag because docs are never going to ask

1369
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:25,240
Speaker 12: you to do that.

1370
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 2: Interesting, what do you think about chat GBT? And like,

1371
01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 2: you know, AI is now kind of replacing the Google search.

1372
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:35,800
Speaker 2: I know that I've uploaded some of my medical records

1373
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 2: when you can tell me if I'm wrong for doing that.

1374
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 2: But it's like kind of fascinating you think you're getting

1375
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 2: like this analysis, this expert analysis.

1376
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 12: Well, look again, I think knowledge is power. I love

1377
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 12: that people are more and more curious about the human body,

1378
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:52,680
Speaker 12: and I think that's terrific. But again, chat GBT is

1379
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:55,320
Speaker 12: a great source, like ninety percent of the time, the

1380
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:58,880
Speaker 12: truth is we still don't know. And again remember it's

1381
01:07:58,920 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 12: only as good as the you give it, right, So

1382
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 12: I don't know if you uploaded your whole medical record.

1383
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 12: I don't know if you uploaded what has most recently changed.

1384
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:10,440
Speaker 12: So being mindful that so much of AI is dependent

1385
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 12: on the data, and that we in healthcare have lots

1386
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:17,280
Speaker 12: of gaps and data. Doctors don't share information. Hospitals don't

1387
01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 12: share information, so you have to be mindful that it's

1388
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:23,400
Speaker 12: not a silver bullet. Right Again, there is no real quick,

1389
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:26,639
Speaker 12: easy button solution. I think it's great to be curious.

1390
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:31,000
Speaker 12: I encourage anyone to read scientific sites, to follow actual

1391
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 12: doctors with licenses. Because here's the other thing rich, right,

1392
01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 12: there's entertainment. There are entertainers out there that are making

1393
01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:41,479
Speaker 12: millions of dollars off of propagating this and disinformation, but

1394
01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 12: they're not accountable the way that physicians nurses are accountable.

1395
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:47,919
Speaker 12: If I give you bad advice, I can lose my license.

1396
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 12: So there is an incentive to be on the side

1397
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:53,960
Speaker 12: of the consumer, which is very different from entertainment.

1398
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,559
Speaker 2: That is such a good point, and I do back

1399
01:08:57,600 --> 01:09:00,960
Speaker 2: to your point about the medical history not being shared.

1400
01:09:01,320 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 2: That has got to be the most frustrating thing as

1401
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:06,439
Speaker 2: a patient. That for me, like I would just imagine

1402
01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:09,439
Speaker 2: that somehow in AI and this will happen in the future,

1403
01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:12,960
Speaker 2: would have everything from my birth up until now in

1404
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:15,640
Speaker 2: a file, and that way you can see patterns, you

1405
01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:18,280
Speaker 2: can see things emerging, and I'm waiting for that day

1406
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 2: and I know we're working on it, but is a

1407
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:22,840
Speaker 2: very slow process. All right, doctor G. What's the best

1408
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:24,840
Speaker 2: way for folks to find you online?

1409
01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:28,240
Speaker 12: Oh? Thanks, rich I'm I'm everywhere. I'm on Instagram, I'm

1410
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:30,840
Speaker 12: on LinkedIn, I'm on x and easy to find me

1411
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:34,960
Speaker 12: Genayor and I look forward to continue the conversation with

1412
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:35,759
Speaker 12: you and your viewers.

1413
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:37,599
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, and I'll link you up on

1414
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:41,360
Speaker 2: my website rich On Tech dot TV. Doctor G, thanks

1415
01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:43,720
Speaker 2: for joining me, coming up more of your calls right

1416
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:53,120
Speaker 2: here on rich On Tech. Welcome back to rich On Tech.

1417
01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:56,479
Speaker 2: Rich Demiro here hanging out with you, talking technology at

1418
01:09:56,520 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 2: Triple eight rich one on one eight eight eight seven

1419
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:03,760
Speaker 2: four to two four one zero one. Phone lines are open. Website,

1420
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:07,679
Speaker 2: rich on Tech dot TV, on social media. You guessed

1421
01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 2: it at rich On Tech is in New York this

1422
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:13,400
Speaker 2: week went to dinner and the restaurant we went to.

1423
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:16,880
Speaker 2: I've got this little system for picking restaurants, by the way,

1424
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:20,679
Speaker 2: so I look for my hotel is any anytime going out,

1425
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:23,000
Speaker 2: I just go to you gotta go. You gotta do

1426
01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:25,559
Speaker 2: this on a desktop. It doesn't work on your phone

1427
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:28,679
Speaker 2: for some reason. But if you go to Google Maps

1428
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:32,000
Speaker 2: and then you search for where you're staying, right, so

1429
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:34,640
Speaker 2: no matter where you are. Let's just say you're at

1430
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:39,559
Speaker 2: a hotel. I'll just pick one down downtown and then

1431
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:41,880
Speaker 2: you'll see once you search for that place, you'll see

1432
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:45,880
Speaker 2: at the top of Google Maps it says nearby hotels, restaurants,

1433
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:48,640
Speaker 2: things to do, bars, coffee. Now they've got some of

1434
01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:50,840
Speaker 2: these options on the phone, but they just don't work

1435
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:53,400
Speaker 2: the same. So what I do is tap restaurants, and

1436
01:10:53,439 --> 01:10:55,920
Speaker 2: I typically want a place I can walk to, and

1437
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 2: so I will look. As soon as you tap restaurants,

1438
01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 2: then you've got this thirty minute down at the bottom,

1439
01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:04,799
Speaker 2: you've got walking or driving. So I will choose fifteen

1440
01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:08,360
Speaker 2: minutes as my maximum walking time, and then you go

1441
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:11,320
Speaker 2: to your filters. And so if you really want something

1442
01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:15,080
Speaker 2: that's like highly rated four point five, that's not like

1443
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:17,799
Speaker 2: those are the ratings, like a generalized rating that people

1444
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:21,759
Speaker 2: give it, not like there's no traditional like zagit or whatever.

1445
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 2: This is just like an aggregated score. So four point

1446
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:27,760
Speaker 2: five is pretty good, Like not many restaurants get that.

1447
01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:30,200
Speaker 2: So if you want to find the places that people

1448
01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:32,400
Speaker 2: go to, you can tap that, and then you can

1449
01:11:32,439 --> 01:11:35,320
Speaker 2: go to all filters and you can say, you know

1450
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:37,920
Speaker 2: how many dollars signs you want the cuisine you want.

1451
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:41,599
Speaker 2: But typically once you have that list of restaurants, now

1452
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:44,400
Speaker 2: you've got restaurants that are within fifteen minutes walking distance,

1453
01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:47,799
Speaker 2: and then you can look at the number of ratings

1454
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:50,680
Speaker 2: they have, So anything that's got like in the thousands,

1455
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:53,920
Speaker 2: people are going to that place a lot, and then

1456
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:56,360
Speaker 2: you could just kind of narrow down from there. It's

1457
01:11:56,600 --> 01:11:58,960
Speaker 2: it's just a very easy way to sort of narrow

1458
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 2: down some of the pop their places near you instead

1459
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:04,880
Speaker 2: of trying to search through all these different things and

1460
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:07,320
Speaker 2: find the place or look through reviews and that.

1461
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:08,559
Speaker 1: But this is just my.

1462
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:11,960
Speaker 2: Easy go to way and it usually works every single time.

1463
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:14,599
Speaker 1: It works. The other way to do it is on Yelp.

1464
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:17,320
Speaker 2: If you just want somewhere that's really popular, you could

1465
01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:20,160
Speaker 2: just open up the Yelp app and then just sort

1466
01:12:20,479 --> 01:12:23,919
Speaker 2: You can tap restaurants and then sort by most reviewed,

1467
01:12:24,400 --> 01:12:27,240
Speaker 2: and that basically gives you, like the they may not

1468
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 2: be the best restaurants. You'll still have to use your

1469
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:31,680
Speaker 2: your judgment to figure out which one you want to

1470
01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 2: go to, but those are like the places that are

1471
01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:36,720
Speaker 2: most visited, most reviewed, most talked about, and that's just

1472
01:12:36,920 --> 01:12:39,000
Speaker 2: you know, again, if you're in town. If you've got

1473
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:40,720
Speaker 2: friends and all that stuff, like, sure, ask them for

1474
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:43,200
Speaker 2: a recommendation. But if you're just in town for one night,

1475
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 2: you want to find a decent place. Those two systems

1476
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:48,559
Speaker 2: that I use pretty much work every time. Anyway, that

1477
01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:52,240
Speaker 2: led us to our restaurant that we went to. It

1478
01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:56,840
Speaker 2: was called Piccora Bianca and nice place. It was packed

1479
01:12:56,840 --> 01:12:58,439
Speaker 2: the whole time. But they had this thing on the

1480
01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:01,240
Speaker 2: table that I loved. Yes, there's a tech angle to this.

1481
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:03,880
Speaker 2: They had a QR code on the table that you

1482
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:06,599
Speaker 2: could scan at the end of dinner and pay your

1483
01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:10,320
Speaker 2: bill from your phone. And I've seen this before at restaurants,

1484
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:13,880
Speaker 2: but this was the best implementation I've seen. Because you

1485
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,679
Speaker 2: scan it, it was clear, it was easy. It says

1486
01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:18,479
Speaker 2: do you want to pay the full bill or do

1487
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:20,560
Speaker 2: you want to pay for just your items or do

1488
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:22,920
Speaker 2: you want to split the bill. And so if you're

1489
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:25,080
Speaker 2: in one of those groups where everyone's like, you know, saying,

1490
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:27,479
Speaker 2: oh I got the I had one less French fry,

1491
01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 2: so I paid five dollars less, like you can say, okay, fine,

1492
01:13:30,160 --> 01:13:32,519
Speaker 2: everyone go to your app, choose the things you ordered,

1493
01:13:32,600 --> 01:13:35,599
Speaker 2: pay for it. Now, for our group, we had split

1494
01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:38,120
Speaker 2: a bunch of appetizers, and so it was tricky to

1495
01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:40,320
Speaker 2: do the whole like, oh, I'll pay for just what

1496
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:42,320
Speaker 2: I had. So then we just said, okay, well I'll

1497
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:44,880
Speaker 2: just split the bill. And you know, there's five of us,

1498
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:46,640
Speaker 2: and it said, how many people do you want to

1499
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:48,320
Speaker 2: pay for? I said too, I was paying for me

1500
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:50,639
Speaker 2: and my mom, and so divided the whole thing up.

1501
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:53,600
Speaker 2: I paid for us and I used Apple Pay and

1502
01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:55,960
Speaker 2: you could use Google Pay whatever you want, and the

1503
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:58,879
Speaker 2: bill was done. So I looked up, of course this company,

1504
01:13:58,920 --> 01:14:03,880
Speaker 2: it's called Sunday sun Day Sunday app dot com. So

1505
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:06,280
Speaker 2: if you have a restaurant, I guess my thesis here is,

1506
01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 2: please adopt this technology.

1507
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:10,919
Speaker 1: It is so easy. It's so much.

1508
01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:13,880
Speaker 2: Better than asking the waiter, hey, can you split the

1509
01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:16,759
Speaker 2: bill or this or that, because it gives people options

1510
01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:19,240
Speaker 2: on how they want to pay. Now, the only thing

1511
01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:21,640
Speaker 2: that's a little bit weird about this, I took a

1512
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:24,080
Speaker 2: picture of the QR code on the table to like

1513
01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:27,240
Speaker 2: put in my newsletter, and you can scan that QR

1514
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:30,760
Speaker 2: code at any time and kind of spy on what

1515
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:33,760
Speaker 2: people are ordering at that table because that QR code

1516
01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:36,000
Speaker 2: is specific for that table and it's linked to their

1517
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:39,799
Speaker 2: POS system, their point of sale system, their hospitality system.

1518
01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:43,080
Speaker 2: And so last night I scanned it as just a test,

1519
01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:44,599
Speaker 2: and I could see all the things that people are

1520
01:14:44,680 --> 01:14:47,760
Speaker 2: ordering at that table. So I guess they're not too concerned,

1521
01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:50,840
Speaker 2: because who's going to sit there after they left a restaurant,

1522
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:53,679
Speaker 2: scan this QR code again and then pay for someone

1523
01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:55,719
Speaker 2: else's dinner. It's probably not going to happen. There's nothing

1524
01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 2: like nefarious you can do with that QR code.

1525
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:01,439
Speaker 1: But anyway, I thought that was really cool.

1526
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:05,519
Speaker 2: I love when restaurants make life easy, and I'm all

1527
01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:07,479
Speaker 2: about that. Like these restaurants they go in there and

1528
01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:09,800
Speaker 2: they're like, oh, you can't split the bill, or you

1529
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:11,200
Speaker 2: can't do this, or you can't do that.

1530
01:15:11,240 --> 01:15:12,439
Speaker 1: It's or I'm adding all this.

1531
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:12,920
Speaker 3: You know.

1532
01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:14,519
Speaker 2: The new thing is all these fees they add to

1533
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:17,559
Speaker 2: the bill. This was just a nice breath of fresh air.

1534
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:18,960
Speaker 2: It was just like the way you want to check

1535
01:15:18,960 --> 01:15:20,200
Speaker 2: out simple easy.

1536
01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:21,200
Speaker 1: I liked it.

1537
01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:26,600
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to let's see here Michael in

1538
01:15:26,840 --> 01:15:28,559
Speaker 2: uh Capistrano Beach.

1539
01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:29,479
Speaker 1: You're on with Rich.

1540
01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:34,439
Speaker 3: My question was for you when you hear about the

1541
01:15:34,600 --> 01:15:38,040
Speaker 3: w EF members, how he gets up and he talks

1542
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:41,560
Speaker 3: about how the humans are going to be hackable animals.

1543
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:42,960
Speaker 3: What do you think about that?

1544
01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:45,000
Speaker 1: Who said this?

1545
01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:52,040
Speaker 3: Yuri the World's Economic Forum. They say that humans are

1546
01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:53,040
Speaker 3: hackable animals.

1547
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:53,680
Speaker 1: Oh, is this the.

1548
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:58,280
Speaker 2: Guy that wrote the Sapiens book. I think it might

1549
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:01,160
Speaker 2: be because he's it looks like that might be the hymn.

1550
01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:04,800
Speaker 2: I've read a lot of that book, and so I

1551
01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:06,760
Speaker 2: did not hear this. I did not hear about what

1552
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:12,080
Speaker 2: he said. But you know, there already are you know,

1553
01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:14,920
Speaker 2: body hackers out there, people that are trying to hack

1554
01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:18,760
Speaker 2: their own body in different ways from a biological standpoint.

1555
01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:21,559
Speaker 2: But then there's the idea of all these things like

1556
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 2: neurolink and these companies that are working on sort of

1557
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:28,679
Speaker 2: add ons to our brain. So what do I think

1558
01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:32,439
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna happen. I think that we are

1559
01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:35,080
Speaker 2: just at the beginning of this now. I think there's

1560
01:16:35,080 --> 01:16:39,400
Speaker 2: gonna be a lot of pros for people like quadriprilegics,

1561
01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:43,280
Speaker 2: people that have some sort of brain damage, and people

1562
01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:45,960
Speaker 2: that you know, of different abilities that you know might

1563
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:48,640
Speaker 2: be confined to a wheelchair, like there may be breakthroughs

1564
01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:52,519
Speaker 2: that will allow these people to get around like regular,

1565
01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:56,120
Speaker 2: you know, like average human beings. And so I think

1566
01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 2: that there is good in this stuff. And I was

1567
01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:00,679
Speaker 2: reading a whole article I think was on the plane

1568
01:17:00,720 --> 01:17:06,160
Speaker 2: about the original guy who got the brain implant from Neurlink,

1569
01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:08,439
Speaker 2: and you know, he was just talking about how it

1570
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:12,000
Speaker 2: changed his life. Like the guy was just a you know,

1571
01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:14,320
Speaker 2: he had a regular body, and all of a sudden

1572
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:16,000
Speaker 2: he got into I think it was a was it

1573
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:18,960
Speaker 2: a car accident, And next thing you know, you know,

1574
01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:21,639
Speaker 2: he's confined to a wheelchair and barely can move at all.

1575
01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:23,960
Speaker 2: And he said, when they put this thing in his brain,

1576
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:27,160
Speaker 2: they approached him, he said, it was amazing. He can

1577
01:17:27,280 --> 01:17:29,719
Speaker 2: move a cursor on a computer. Like he said, everything

1578
01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:32,960
Speaker 2: that he had to do with the assistance of a person,

1579
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:35,280
Speaker 2: he can now do a lot of this stuff by himself.

1580
01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:39,879
Speaker 2: Maybe not moving around per se, but like just being online.

1581
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:43,400
Speaker 2: Like imagine that you can't move, you can't control a

1582
01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:46,880
Speaker 2: mouse computer things that you were accustomed to doing, and

1583
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:49,000
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you can't do that anymore.

1584
01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:50,479
Speaker 1: How frustrating it is.

1585
01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:52,800
Speaker 2: And so he said, things that would take him, you know,

1586
01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:54,680
Speaker 2: an hour to kind of move or do something on

1587
01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 2: the computer screen, he can now do in seconds just

1588
01:17:57,360 --> 01:18:00,160
Speaker 2: by looking at it. Just by thinking about moving the

1589
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:02,920
Speaker 2: cursor to the left or the right, or selecting something,

1590
01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:07,479
Speaker 2: it happens on screen. So I think, you know, but

1591
01:18:07,720 --> 01:18:10,880
Speaker 2: on the flip side, once we start embedding people with

1592
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:16,200
Speaker 2: this technology, of course that technology is hackable, it is programmable.

1593
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:19,439
Speaker 2: There will be, you know, people that try to abuse

1594
01:18:19,479 --> 01:18:22,960
Speaker 2: this stuff. So I think that no matter what, we

1595
01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:25,680
Speaker 2: are in for it. And I was reading something too

1596
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:28,479
Speaker 2: about cars, you know how you know, we think about

1597
01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:31,080
Speaker 2: all these cars that can do things, they can drive themselves,

1598
01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:35,440
Speaker 2: you know, security cameras on cars, like all this technology

1599
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:38,160
Speaker 2: that's built into cars. You know, there are people working

1600
01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:39,960
Speaker 2: twenty four to seven to try to figure out how

1601
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:42,720
Speaker 2: to hack that stuff and use it to their advantage

1602
01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:46,120
Speaker 2: in various ways. Now, stealing a car is one thing,

1603
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 2: but you know, can you imagine if all the self

1604
01:18:48,160 --> 01:18:51,400
Speaker 2: driving cars slam themselves into walls? I mean, you know

1605
01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:53,160
Speaker 2: there's someone out there working on trying to make that

1606
01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:58,040
Speaker 2: happen because they're evil. I hope that doesn't happen. But again,

1607
01:18:58,160 --> 01:19:00,280
Speaker 2: people do have to look into this stuff to try

1608
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:04,600
Speaker 2: to patch the exploits that other people may find, and

1609
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:06,880
Speaker 2: so there's always someone that's looking for the holes in

1610
01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:10,760
Speaker 2: this software in the programming in the hardware, no matter what,

1611
01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:14,320
Speaker 2: whether they're going to use it for good or for bad.

1612
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, we are just at the beginning

1613
01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:19,080
Speaker 2: of all this stuff. And I talk about this a

1614
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:22,439
Speaker 2: lot too, the idea that AI right now, we've got it.

1615
01:19:22,439 --> 01:19:24,360
Speaker 2: It's been you know what two years that we've had it,

1616
01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:26,880
Speaker 2: and we've been playing with this stuff and everyone loves,

1617
01:19:27,120 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 2: you know, some of the things that CHATCHYBT and Gemini

1618
01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:34,000
Speaker 2: and Perplexity can do. But right now it is so basic.

1619
01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:39,839
Speaker 2: Just imagine when they start building this AI technology into robots,

1620
01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:43,599
Speaker 2: like I'm talking humanoid robots that many many companies are

1621
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:47,439
Speaker 2: working on, Like these robots that can walk around and

1622
01:19:47,520 --> 01:19:50,800
Speaker 2: sort of think for themselves, do for themselves, act for themselves.

1623
01:19:51,439 --> 01:19:54,960
Speaker 2: So this stuff is happening. It's going to happen, and

1624
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:57,280
Speaker 2: we need to be ready for all aspects of this

1625
01:19:57,840 --> 01:20:00,680
Speaker 2: no matter what. A good movie to watch. It's a

1626
01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:03,200
Speaker 2: little a little silly, and I hope I'm not giving

1627
01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:04,719
Speaker 2: too much away, but it's been out for a while.

1628
01:20:04,720 --> 01:20:07,200
Speaker 2: But Companion we sat down to watch kind of a

1629
01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:09,400
Speaker 2: horror movie. I don't want to give away the premise,

1630
01:20:09,479 --> 01:20:14,719
Speaker 2: but just it's interesting. So again that's kind of along

1631
01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:17,719
Speaker 2: the lines of what we're looking forward to in the future.

1632
01:20:18,479 --> 01:20:21,200
Speaker 2: Good question. Thanks for the call, Michael, appreciate it. Eighty

1633
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:23,800
Speaker 2: eight Rich one O one eight eight seven four to

1634
01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:26,599
Speaker 2: two four one zero one. Coming up this hour, we're

1635
01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:28,880
Speaker 2: going to talk to a software engineer who wrote a

1636
01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:33,479
Speaker 2: book about how social platforms really work. You are listening

1637
01:20:33,479 --> 01:20:44,519
Speaker 2: to Rich on tech. Let's go to George in Los Angeles.

1638
01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:45,240
Speaker 1: You're on with Rich.

1639
01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:46,360
Speaker 11: Hi.

1640
01:20:46,479 --> 01:20:50,439
Speaker 13: Rich, Okay, I got a question here. I'm having a

1641
01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:53,800
Speaker 13: lot of trouble, a lot of headed I'm trying to

1642
01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:59,680
Speaker 13: connect the wireless microphones to my phone. Is a Galaxy

1643
01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:06,080
Speaker 13: A fifteen, and somehow it's not working. I cannot connect

1644
01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:09,519
Speaker 13: the external microphone to my phone. When I try to

1645
01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:14,280
Speaker 13: record a video with my camera, my phone camera, it

1646
01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:18,439
Speaker 13: doesn't give me the audio. And I try with another

1647
01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:22,559
Speaker 13: old phone that I have, is a Galaxy S twenty,

1648
01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:26,559
Speaker 13: Samsung Galaxy X twenty, and it works. But I don't

1649
01:21:26,560 --> 01:21:30,960
Speaker 13: know why with the Samsung Galaxy A fifteen doesn't work.

1650
01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:33,320
Speaker 13: And I try with out of different phones and a

1651
01:21:33,400 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 13: tablet and somehow the microphone don't work. The audio doesn't

1652
01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:41,160
Speaker 13: you know, doesn't connect. I mean the external microphone doesn't

1653
01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:43,639
Speaker 13: connect with the tablet. I don't know if I need

1654
01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:48,439
Speaker 13: a NAP or I did a comparable wireless microphone. I

1655
01:21:48,479 --> 01:21:51,439
Speaker 13: tried with two different microphones and it's not working.

1656
01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:53,800
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, a couple of things going on here. Number one,

1657
01:21:54,120 --> 01:21:57,760
Speaker 2: have you confirmed that this what brand is the wireless microphone?

1658
01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:02,439
Speaker 13: It's a label level ler K thirty nine.

1659
01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:05,640
Speaker 1: Okay, so is it wired or wireless?

1660
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:10,920
Speaker 13: It's uh, well, it's I got the wire from Risk

1661
01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:14,360
Speaker 13: for the receiver. I connected to the phone with a

1662
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:17,520
Speaker 13: wire and then I had the microphone.

1663
01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:18,960
Speaker 4: There are wireless okay.

1664
01:22:19,439 --> 01:22:25,320
Speaker 2: Well, number one, not every smartphone supports a external microphone.

1665
01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:30,040
Speaker 2: Now the Samsung's for sure, do the the Pro models,

1666
01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:33,120
Speaker 2: the S models they do. Now the A models that's

1667
01:22:33,120 --> 01:22:36,080
Speaker 2: sort of their budget line, they may not support. And

1668
01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:39,360
Speaker 2: I'm trying to confirm if they actually have support for

1669
01:22:39,479 --> 01:22:43,840
Speaker 2: an external mic, and I can't confirm right here, like

1670
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:47,200
Speaker 2: over the air, let's see, Yeah, I can't confirm like

1671
01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:50,320
Speaker 2: if that spec is available. So that could be the

1672
01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:53,360
Speaker 2: first problem. Do you know that this phone is compatible

1673
01:22:53,360 --> 01:22:54,280
Speaker 2: with an external mic?

1674
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:56,840
Speaker 13: I had no idea.

1675
01:22:56,960 --> 01:23:00,280
Speaker 2: Okay, So typically on a Samsung phone, when you plug

1676
01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:03,840
Speaker 2: in an external mic, it will recognize it and say

1677
01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:08,679
Speaker 2: right on the screen on your camera viewfinder, external mic connected.

1678
01:23:09,360 --> 01:23:12,040
Speaker 2: So if it is not giving you that message as

1679
01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:14,960
Speaker 2: soon as you connect that external mic, this phone may

1680
01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 2: not be compatible. So over the years, since I do

1681
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:21,240
Speaker 2: a lot of content creation for my TV job, I

1682
01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:23,880
Speaker 2: you know, and I test a lot of smartphones over

1683
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:26,479
Speaker 2: the years, I found it's very hit or miss whether

1684
01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:30,879
Speaker 2: these phones support the external mic. I know, the Pixel does, obviously,

1685
01:23:30,920 --> 01:23:34,680
Speaker 2: the iPhone does, the Samsung, the high end models do.

1686
01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:37,880
Speaker 2: The OnePlus can still be hit or miss, but nowadays

1687
01:23:37,960 --> 01:23:41,439
Speaker 2: usually it typically does. But this is an A fifteen model,

1688
01:23:41,479 --> 01:23:43,160
Speaker 2: which you know, if you're looking at a phone that's

1689
01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:46,160
Speaker 2: a more of a budget minded device, they may not

1690
01:23:46,320 --> 01:23:47,679
Speaker 2: build in all of those things.

1691
01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:50,960
Speaker 1: So what I would do is go online, find the

1692
01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:51,640
Speaker 1: specs for this.

1693
01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:53,960
Speaker 2: Make sure you can find maybe a YouTube video or

1694
01:23:53,960 --> 01:23:57,840
Speaker 2: someone that actually says, hey, this does support an external microphone.

1695
01:23:58,160 --> 01:23:59,600
Speaker 1: That's number one. That's going to save you a lot

1696
01:23:59,640 --> 01:24:00,000
Speaker 1: of headache.

1697
01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:02,880
Speaker 2: The second thing to do, George, is to make sure

1698
01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:06,000
Speaker 2: that this is compatible with or this microphone that you have.

1699
01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:08,280
Speaker 2: This setup is going to work. So a lot of

1700
01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:11,080
Speaker 2: these microphones that you find on Amazon sometimes are very

1701
01:24:11,120 --> 01:24:14,400
Speaker 2: hit or miss I use the Dji, which is the

1702
01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:18,000
Speaker 2: kind of the gold standard for wireless microphones. It's expensive,

1703
01:24:18,360 --> 01:24:20,920
Speaker 2: but it works. It does exactly what you need, and

1704
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:23,400
Speaker 2: it's really good. There are other brands out there that

1705
01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:26,599
Speaker 2: are cheaper that will also do it, but just make

1706
01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:28,360
Speaker 2: sure they have a lot of reviews and people saying

1707
01:24:28,360 --> 01:24:30,599
Speaker 2: that they actually work. If you want to get one

1708
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:34,120
Speaker 2: of those cheaper brands on Amazon, Like if you search Dji,

1709
01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:37,880
Speaker 2: Mike or Road Wireless Mic for iPhone and those come up,

1710
01:24:38,040 --> 01:24:40,120
Speaker 2: just make sure that a lot of people have verified yes,

1711
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:42,280
Speaker 2: they do actually work. But the other one is the

1712
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:45,080
Speaker 2: Road Mics. People like those. But there's a whole bunch

1713
01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:47,519
Speaker 2: of these microphones on Amazon that you can get.

1714
01:24:47,680 --> 01:24:50,519
Speaker 1: Some of them are as small as a button, you know.

1715
01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:54,000
Speaker 2: They're just they've changed the game when it comes to

1716
01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:56,559
Speaker 2: creating content on the go, because it used to be

1717
01:24:56,680 --> 01:25:00,240
Speaker 2: had to have either something wired or not something very good.

1718
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:02,320
Speaker 2: And now the fact that you can use these wireless

1719
01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:05,880
Speaker 2: mics is just so great. But it's all dependent on

1720
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:08,360
Speaker 2: whether your phone actually supports it. The other thing you

1721
01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:10,760
Speaker 2: could do if your phone doesn't support it, you don't

1722
01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:12,240
Speaker 2: want to invest in a new mic. You don't want

1723
01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:14,880
Speaker 2: to invest in a new phone. A lot of these

1724
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:17,960
Speaker 2: microphones will record into themselves, so they will actually have

1725
01:25:18,479 --> 01:25:21,080
Speaker 2: built in memory on the microphone.

1726
01:25:21,120 --> 01:25:22,120
Speaker 1: You can press record.

1727
01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:25,640
Speaker 2: You can record the audio separate from the video and

1728
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:28,760
Speaker 2: then use an app like Final Cut to sync those up.

1729
01:25:29,200 --> 01:25:30,200
Speaker 1: So that's what we'll do.

1730
01:25:30,360 --> 01:25:32,320
Speaker 2: If we have a problem with the audio or it's

1731
01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:35,000
Speaker 2: not embedded on the video, we'll just sync it up later.

1732
01:25:35,040 --> 01:25:37,320
Speaker 2: So that's another option where you can just record the

1733
01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:40,479
Speaker 2: audio separate from the video, bring it into an editing

1734
01:25:40,560 --> 01:25:44,200
Speaker 2: program like Final Cut or Premiere, and then synchronize the

1735
01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:45,240
Speaker 2: audio to the video.

1736
01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:47,559
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what they used to do in Hollywood

1737
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:48,280
Speaker 1: with that clapboard.

1738
01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:51,559
Speaker 2: You know, they always recorded audio separate, so they use

1739
01:25:51,600 --> 01:25:52,920
Speaker 2: that clapboard to sync it up.

1740
01:25:53,320 --> 01:25:54,880
Speaker 1: All right, good question, George.

1741
01:25:54,880 --> 01:25:57,200
Speaker 2: Something to look out for on your smartphones if you

1742
01:25:57,280 --> 01:26:01,080
Speaker 2: are going to be creating content because those wireless mics,

1743
01:26:01,320 --> 01:26:03,519
Speaker 2: I call it the best invention of the last decade

1744
01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:05,240
Speaker 2: for me, they're just so handy.

1745
01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:08,160
Speaker 1: Coming up, we are going to talk to Tim O'Hearn.

1746
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:11,240
Speaker 2: He is a author of Framed. He's got a new

1747
01:26:11,280 --> 01:26:13,320
Speaker 2: take on how social platforms really work.

1748
01:26:13,479 --> 01:26:14,200
Speaker 1: That's up next.

1749
01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:29,280
Speaker 2: Joining me now is Tim O'Hearn, a software engineer and

1750
01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:35,120
Speaker 2: author of Framed, A Villain's Perspective on Social Media. Thanks

1751
01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:35,720
Speaker 2: for joining me.

1752
01:26:35,680 --> 01:26:38,720
Speaker 14: Tim, Thanks Rich thanks for having me on.

1753
01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:42,240
Speaker 1: So what's your background and what made you write this book.

1754
01:26:44,479 --> 01:26:47,160
Speaker 5: I'm a software engineer and I spent most of my twenties,

1755
01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:50,719
Speaker 5: so the last ten years I spent working in quantitative trading.

1756
01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:53,960
Speaker 5: During my first year, second year on the job, I

1757
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:56,439
Speaker 5: was approached by some people involved in the New York

1758
01:26:56,479 --> 01:26:59,519
Speaker 5: City nightlife industry who told me that they had a

1759
01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:02,160
Speaker 5: business that they were using to make money by getting

1760
01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:05,439
Speaker 5: people more followers on Instagram. They needed someone to help

1761
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:07,760
Speaker 5: build up the business and help scale it up, and

1762
01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:10,240
Speaker 5: that's when my involvement began in twenty seventeen.

1763
01:27:10,640 --> 01:27:15,040
Speaker 2: And so you got involved with basically selling what bots

1764
01:27:15,040 --> 01:27:17,600
Speaker 2: and things like trying to get like people on Instagram

1765
01:27:17,600 --> 01:27:19,639
Speaker 2: and social media. They want a lot of followers because

1766
01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:21,559
Speaker 2: it looks like they have a lot of influence, so

1767
01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:23,360
Speaker 2: a lot of times you will buy those.

1768
01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:27,599
Speaker 14: Yeah. So really our service was in the second wave.

1769
01:27:28,200 --> 01:27:31,720
Speaker 5: I call this the organic growth phase, so it was

1770
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:35,880
Speaker 5: one step removed from people just paying twenty dollars for

1771
01:27:35,960 --> 01:27:39,800
Speaker 5: five thousand followers. The bots I created would actually log

1772
01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:42,840
Speaker 5: into a customer's account and then act as if they

1773
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:45,880
Speaker 5: were the customer. So this allowed things to grow more

1774
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:48,320
Speaker 5: organically and for it to seem less like a bot

1775
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:51,200
Speaker 5: and more like a human actually taking the actions.

1776
01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:54,360
Speaker 2: Ah, So they would sort of like maybe like things,

1777
01:27:54,479 --> 01:27:56,920
Speaker 2: comment on things, reply to stuff.

1778
01:27:58,439 --> 01:28:03,840
Speaker 1: Exactly, and what did you learn in this experience and

1779
01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:05,240
Speaker 1: why are you telling the story now?

1780
01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:10,800
Speaker 5: During this time, there was a lot of i would say,

1781
01:28:11,040 --> 01:28:14,160
Speaker 5: unspoken facts and unspoken truths about the dark side of

1782
01:28:14,160 --> 01:28:16,880
Speaker 5: social media. So some things that have come to light

1783
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:21,920
Speaker 5: is regarding how social networks actually enforce their policies and

1784
01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:25,360
Speaker 5: what it means to commit terms of service violation on

1785
01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:26,880
Speaker 5: a social media site.

1786
01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:28,479
Speaker 14: So in the early days, which I.

1787
01:28:28,479 --> 01:28:32,360
Speaker 5: Would say twenty seventeen twenty eighteen, we found that we

1788
01:28:32,360 --> 01:28:35,760
Speaker 5: were learning so much about the underside, about all the

1789
01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:39,840
Speaker 5: rule breakers and this spectrum of enforcement, realizing that of

1790
01:28:39,880 --> 01:28:43,920
Speaker 5: course these social media platforms don't want people spamming and

1791
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:47,880
Speaker 5: don't want people being disrupted, but we actually found that

1792
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:50,559
Speaker 5: we were less of a priority compared to the people

1793
01:28:50,680 --> 01:28:53,880
Speaker 5: actually doing really bad, really illegal stuff.

1794
01:28:54,120 --> 01:28:55,320
Speaker 14: So for a while we had this.

1795
01:28:55,320 --> 01:28:58,400
Speaker 5: Reprieve where we just weren't the biggest priority, and during

1796
01:28:58,439 --> 01:28:59,560
Speaker 5: that time we proliferated.

1797
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:02,640
Speaker 1: Why because these social media platforms want to grow.

1798
01:29:04,200 --> 01:29:07,120
Speaker 5: Definitely, they want to grow, and they're just worried about

1799
01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:11,599
Speaker 5: ultimately reactive you know, reactive moves here. They're worried about

1800
01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:14,960
Speaker 5: having to speak in front of Congress. You know, they're

1801
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:18,400
Speaker 5: worried about these bombshell articles coming from the New York Times.

1802
01:29:18,880 --> 01:29:23,320
Speaker 5: And until twenty late twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen, nobody

1803
01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:26,400
Speaker 5: was talking about followers in that same way, you know,

1804
01:29:26,439 --> 01:29:29,639
Speaker 5: they were talking about other types of illicted activities going

1805
01:29:29,640 --> 01:29:30,559
Speaker 5: on on social media.

1806
01:29:31,040 --> 01:29:33,120
Speaker 1: So what do you think the average consumer needs to

1807
01:29:33,160 --> 01:29:35,919
Speaker 1: know about all this stuff at this point?

1808
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:39,840
Speaker 5: At this point, I think what the book communicates is

1809
01:29:39,840 --> 01:29:44,280
Speaker 5: that there's a very awkward relationship between users platforms and

1810
01:29:44,320 --> 01:29:48,280
Speaker 5: then platform stakeholders. People don't realize that, you know, using

1811
01:29:48,320 --> 01:29:51,800
Speaker 5: a platform for free, you are the product. So you

1812
01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:54,040
Speaker 5: are the person who is you know, helping out this

1813
01:29:54,120 --> 01:29:57,040
Speaker 5: advertising vehicle, or you are the person who investors are

1814
01:29:57,040 --> 01:30:01,040
Speaker 5: looking to en mass to actually increase the value of

1815
01:30:01,400 --> 01:30:02,160
Speaker 5: a platform.

1816
01:30:02,400 --> 01:30:06,400
Speaker 14: So there are all these awkward, like weird.

1817
01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:10,000
Speaker 5: Symbiotic relationships between each one of these groups that aren't

1818
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:12,640
Speaker 5: obvious to someone who's being beckoned to sign up for

1819
01:30:12,640 --> 01:30:14,320
Speaker 5: a social media service to begin.

1820
01:30:14,160 --> 01:30:16,840
Speaker 1: With, So, what a consumers do I mean?

1821
01:30:16,840 --> 01:30:18,960
Speaker 2: What I mean, does it change the way that we

1822
01:30:19,080 --> 01:30:21,559
Speaker 2: use these services or should we be on guard when

1823
01:30:21,600 --> 01:30:22,160
Speaker 2: we use them?

1824
01:30:22,240 --> 01:30:27,320
Speaker 5: Or what? As more things have developed on social media,

1825
01:30:27,400 --> 01:30:30,160
Speaker 5: I think that there are concerns not just in our

1826
01:30:30,240 --> 01:30:33,679
Speaker 5: own usage habits, but the effects that the platforms are

1827
01:30:33,720 --> 01:30:37,240
Speaker 5: having on our emotional state and how we receive and

1828
01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:41,160
Speaker 5: process information. When I started using my Space in two

1829
01:30:41,160 --> 01:30:43,880
Speaker 5: thousand and six or two thousand and seven, as as

1830
01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:47,160
Speaker 5: ridiculous as the experience was, it was actually quite pure.

1831
01:30:47,720 --> 01:30:50,440
Speaker 14: And pure is probably.

1832
01:30:49,680 --> 01:30:52,960
Speaker 5: The last word we would use to describe Reddit or

1833
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:55,840
Speaker 5: Facebook or x or any of these platforms today. So

1834
01:30:56,000 --> 01:30:58,400
Speaker 5: one of the solutions might simply be to spend less

1835
01:30:58,400 --> 01:31:01,080
Speaker 5: time on it and be more aware of the consequences

1836
01:31:01,120 --> 01:31:02,519
Speaker 5: of heavy usage.

1837
01:31:02,640 --> 01:31:05,599
Speaker 2: Why do you think these algorithms are engineered to addict us?

1838
01:31:07,680 --> 01:31:08,040
Speaker 1: I do.

1839
01:31:08,240 --> 01:31:11,080
Speaker 5: And one interesting thing for me was after I worked

1840
01:31:11,120 --> 01:31:15,040
Speaker 5: at Shark Social, which was the Instagram growth company, I

1841
01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:18,160
Speaker 5: later worked at a small social media startup where I

1842
01:31:18,200 --> 01:31:22,479
Speaker 5: built these persuasive technology systems. So I built systems that

1843
01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:25,760
Speaker 5: tried to get users to click on certain push notifications,

1844
01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:28,280
Speaker 5: or tried to get users to spend more time looking

1845
01:31:28,320 --> 01:31:31,360
Speaker 5: at the news speed of this app My entire job

1846
01:31:31,439 --> 01:31:35,600
Speaker 5: as the Special Projects lead was essentially to enforce and

1847
01:31:35,720 --> 01:31:39,640
Speaker 5: encourage addictive behaviors. So you think at scale, there are

1848
01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:43,320
Speaker 5: entire teams within big Tech who are just trying to

1849
01:31:43,400 --> 01:31:45,720
Speaker 5: ratchet up those metrics a little bit more, and that

1850
01:31:45,800 --> 01:31:48,560
Speaker 5: means getting people to spend more time online.

1851
01:31:48,640 --> 01:31:51,240
Speaker 2: I mean, look, we already know when you open up Instagram,

1852
01:31:51,320 --> 01:31:54,640
Speaker 2: it's the equivalent of a slot machine, even down to

1853
01:31:54,720 --> 01:31:57,559
Speaker 2: the way the little notifications appear in the upper right

1854
01:31:57,560 --> 01:32:01,640
Speaker 2: hand corner with the numbers says the likes, the comments,

1855
01:32:01,720 --> 01:32:06,240
Speaker 2: the hearts. It appears exactly like a Las Vegas slot machine.

1856
01:32:06,600 --> 01:32:09,479
Speaker 2: So what do we need to know for parents and kids?

1857
01:32:09,520 --> 01:32:12,639
Speaker 2: Because you know, I'm an adult, I sort of understand

1858
01:32:12,680 --> 01:32:13,080
Speaker 2: this stuff.

1859
01:32:13,120 --> 01:32:14,000
Speaker 1: I get what I'm up.

1860
01:32:13,880 --> 01:32:16,600
Speaker 2: Against, right, Like Instagram's goal is to get me to

1861
01:32:16,760 --> 01:32:19,759
Speaker 2: never close Instagram in my entire life. Like that's their goal,

1862
01:32:20,920 --> 01:32:24,400
Speaker 2: and you can do that. The swipe, the reels, the stuff,

1863
01:32:24,439 --> 01:32:27,439
Speaker 2: it's it's never ending. But kids, you know, they're not

1864
01:32:27,520 --> 01:32:30,479
Speaker 2: as evolved because they're still they're still growing.

1865
01:32:30,840 --> 01:32:32,360
Speaker 1: So what do you think parents need to know about

1866
01:32:32,360 --> 01:32:32,559
Speaker 1: all this.

1867
01:32:34,880 --> 01:32:37,680
Speaker 5: I support the general guidelines which are coming out from

1868
01:32:37,720 --> 01:32:41,200
Speaker 5: countries such as Australia, which is that a child under

1869
01:32:41,320 --> 01:32:43,960
Speaker 5: thirteen years of age has no place on social media

1870
01:32:44,360 --> 01:32:48,559
Speaker 5: or any type of scrolling type of content feed because

1871
01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:52,400
Speaker 5: the belief is that it is harmful for the developing mind,

1872
01:32:53,120 --> 01:32:55,160
Speaker 5: and it may be harmful in ways that we don't

1873
01:32:55,160 --> 01:32:58,080
Speaker 5: fully understand yet. So one example I give in my

1874
01:32:58,120 --> 01:33:01,560
Speaker 5: book is, hey, you wouldn't get a baby a cigarette,

1875
01:33:02,479 --> 01:33:06,880
Speaker 5: like that's a comedy skit, But we do give babies iPads,

1876
01:33:07,080 --> 01:33:08,800
Speaker 5: and I see it all over New York City here

1877
01:33:08,840 --> 01:33:11,719
Speaker 5: where tons of kids are mindlessly looking at these things

1878
01:33:11,760 --> 01:33:14,840
Speaker 5: because it keeps the kid entertained. But what you don't

1879
01:33:14,840 --> 01:33:17,720
Speaker 5: realize is that when they're looking at apps that are

1880
01:33:17,720 --> 01:33:20,439
Speaker 5: designed like slot machines and stuff, when it comes time

1881
01:33:20,479 --> 01:33:24,360
Speaker 5: to function in society or learn in the classroom sometimes,

1882
01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:27,599
Speaker 5: you know, schoolroom learning is not as exciting or enthralling

1883
01:33:27,840 --> 01:33:30,680
Speaker 5: as these experiences, so it can have some some absolutely

1884
01:33:30,760 --> 01:33:31,840
Speaker 5: terrible consequences.

1885
01:33:32,200 --> 01:33:35,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's much much more boring compared to TikTok, which

1886
01:33:35,200 --> 01:33:37,360
Speaker 2: is like even the format. I mean, I come from

1887
01:33:37,360 --> 01:33:41,120
Speaker 2: a classic news background where you know, we do news segments,

1888
01:33:41,160 --> 01:33:43,519
Speaker 2: and I get it. The news is not perfect, but

1889
01:33:43,680 --> 01:33:46,040
Speaker 2: you know my segments are and so I you know,

1890
01:33:46,080 --> 01:33:49,800
Speaker 2: I do things that are it's informational. You know, Yeah,

1891
01:33:49,880 --> 01:33:51,760
Speaker 2: it could be fast paced, but I mean if you

1892
01:33:51,760 --> 01:33:54,000
Speaker 2: look at something like TikTok, it's like there's a cut

1893
01:33:54,040 --> 01:33:57,639
Speaker 2: every second because people's you know, they're going to look away.

1894
01:33:57,960 --> 01:33:59,880
Speaker 2: And I've talked to TikTokers that say that they have

1895
01:33:59,920 --> 01:34:02,800
Speaker 2: to follow that format or else people scroll away if

1896
01:34:02,840 --> 01:34:06,400
Speaker 2: it's not changing fast enough. So some of this stuff

1897
01:34:06,439 --> 01:34:08,519
Speaker 2: seems to be changing the fabric of sort of our

1898
01:34:08,560 --> 01:34:11,800
Speaker 2: brains in the way that we perceive information as well.

1899
01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:17,920
Speaker 5: Sure, short form video is very addictive, and I think

1900
01:34:17,960 --> 01:34:20,439
Speaker 5: it is harmful in the way that it kind of

1901
01:34:20,520 --> 01:34:24,840
Speaker 5: melds and changes our expectations for what is entertaining and

1902
01:34:24,880 --> 01:34:28,719
Speaker 5: how things like plot lines develop. Like how many people

1903
01:34:28,760 --> 01:34:32,120
Speaker 5: can really sit through a movie now without thinking about, Okay,

1904
01:34:32,160 --> 01:34:34,200
Speaker 5: I need to go check my phone right, Like the

1905
01:34:34,360 --> 01:34:37,679
Speaker 5: attention span. The effect on the attention span is crazy.

1906
01:34:37,760 --> 01:34:40,280
Speaker 5: And this is something we saw in the early twenty

1907
01:34:40,320 --> 01:34:43,200
Speaker 5: tens where like it started to come out on YouTube

1908
01:34:43,320 --> 01:34:45,760
Speaker 5: where you had quick cuts, quick cuts quick cuts the

1909
01:34:45,800 --> 01:34:48,320
Speaker 5: first time I really saw it. I thought this is ridiculous,

1910
01:34:48,560 --> 01:34:51,960
Speaker 5: But now, as you said, it's standard almost everywhere.

1911
01:34:51,760 --> 01:34:52,760
Speaker 1: It really is. All right.

1912
01:34:52,800 --> 01:34:57,080
Speaker 2: The book is Framed a Villain's Perspective on Social Media.

1913
01:34:57,520 --> 01:35:01,760
Speaker 2: The author is Tim O'Hearn. It's availed now on Amazon.

1914
01:35:01,920 --> 01:35:03,479
Speaker 2: Did you have fun writing a book? Because I wrote

1915
01:35:03,479 --> 01:35:05,120
Speaker 2: a book a couple of years ago. It was one

1916
01:35:05,160 --> 01:35:07,040
Speaker 2: of the best things I've ever done.

1917
01:35:07,160 --> 01:35:09,040
Speaker 14: It was a very fulfilling experience for me.

1918
01:35:09,200 --> 01:35:12,559
Speaker 5: And seeing the reaction to it, both from people in

1919
01:35:12,600 --> 01:35:16,360
Speaker 5: the press, from users, from experienced engineers, and especially from

1920
01:35:16,400 --> 01:35:19,439
Speaker 5: academics and researchers, it's been very meaningful for me.

1921
01:35:19,800 --> 01:35:21,880
Speaker 2: All right, Well, thanks for joining me today on the show.

1922
01:35:21,920 --> 01:35:26,080
Speaker 2: Tim O'Hearn once again. The book Framed a Villain's Perspective

1923
01:35:26,120 --> 01:35:29,040
Speaker 2: on Social Media available on Amazon. I'll put a link

1924
01:35:29,080 --> 01:35:32,640
Speaker 2: on the website. Rich on tech dot TV. All right,

1925
01:35:32,680 --> 01:35:35,120
Speaker 2: coming up, we got a couple of items of notes.

1926
01:35:35,240 --> 01:35:38,719
Speaker 2: I've got a new way to chat with AI using

1927
01:35:39,000 --> 01:35:41,599
Speaker 2: text messaging. If you have a Pixel seven you got

1928
01:35:41,600 --> 01:35:43,600
Speaker 2: a problem with your battery, I will explain what you

1929
01:35:43,640 --> 01:35:46,599
Speaker 2: can do with that. And Netflix has a new option

1930
01:35:46,720 --> 01:35:51,200
Speaker 2: for subtitles. Plus the feedback we are going to open

1931
01:35:51,280 --> 01:35:51,879
Speaker 2: up the feedback.

1932
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:53,280
Speaker 1: Coming up next on rich.

1933
01:35:53,200 --> 01:36:07,200
Speaker 2: On Tech, Apple Watch celebrates ten years. I know I've

1934
01:36:07,240 --> 01:36:10,840
Speaker 2: worn worn one on my wrist almost that entire time,

1935
01:36:11,760 --> 01:36:14,200
Speaker 2: and I think it's game changing. I tell people a

1936
01:36:14,240 --> 01:36:16,400
Speaker 2: lot of times that I like the Apple Watch better

1937
01:36:16,439 --> 01:36:20,080
Speaker 2: than the iPhone just because it's always there. It's simple,

1938
01:36:20,200 --> 01:36:22,880
Speaker 2: it does what I need, tracks my workouts.

1939
01:36:22,960 --> 01:36:23,080
Speaker 5: You know.

1940
01:36:23,160 --> 01:36:27,960
Speaker 2: Of course you've got the rings, all these things. April

1941
01:36:27,960 --> 01:36:30,960
Speaker 2: twenty fourth, twenty fifteen, that's when the first Apple watches

1942
01:36:31,960 --> 01:36:32,479
Speaker 2: came out.

1943
01:36:32,880 --> 01:36:34,680
Speaker 1: I was there at the launch day. They sold them

1944
01:36:34,680 --> 01:36:35,799
Speaker 1: at high end stores.

1945
01:36:36,280 --> 01:36:38,920
Speaker 2: In addition, well I don't trying to remember why was

1946
01:36:38,920 --> 01:36:40,559
Speaker 2: at like such a high end store for it. It

1947
01:36:40,600 --> 01:36:44,320
Speaker 2: was like a little boutique. Now, of course, the Apple

1948
01:36:44,360 --> 01:36:47,640
Speaker 2: Watch very popular now. The original Apple Watch was more

1949
01:36:47,680 --> 01:36:50,320
Speaker 2: about like fashion. It did not start out as this

1950
01:36:50,439 --> 01:36:53,720
Speaker 2: like really health and fitness focused device. But now, of

1951
01:36:53,720 --> 01:36:56,639
Speaker 2: course it's health, it's fitness. It tracks you know, all

1952
01:36:56,760 --> 01:37:02,639
Speaker 2: kinds of stuff except blood oxygen because they took that away. Yeah,

1953
01:37:02,800 --> 01:37:05,120
Speaker 2: one of the features I thought was interesting back.

1954
01:37:04,920 --> 01:37:05,240
Speaker 1: In the day.

1955
01:37:05,280 --> 01:37:07,920
Speaker 2: I wrote about this in my newsletter today Digital touch.

1956
01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:09,600
Speaker 2: Did you know, I thought they took it away, but

1957
01:37:09,640 --> 01:37:12,559
Speaker 2: you can still do it. If you go to a

1958
01:37:12,680 --> 01:37:16,559
Speaker 2: text message, press the plus sign next to the message

1959
01:37:16,560 --> 01:37:20,320
Speaker 2: field and select digital touch and then you tap two

1960
01:37:20,400 --> 01:37:24,080
Speaker 2: fingers on your screen, it'll send your heartbeat to the

1961
01:37:24,120 --> 01:37:27,920
Speaker 2: other person. Yeah, it's called digital touch. It's really weird.

1962
01:37:27,920 --> 01:37:29,320
Speaker 2: I thought that they got rid of that, and last

1963
01:37:29,400 --> 01:37:30,840
Speaker 2: night when I was doing some testing, I was like.

1964
01:37:30,840 --> 01:37:31,760
Speaker 1: Wait, that's still there.

1965
01:37:32,120 --> 01:37:36,559
Speaker 2: What news service called text ai lets you text ai?

1966
01:37:37,600 --> 01:37:41,000
Speaker 2: Text dot Ai is the website, but basically you just

1967
01:37:41,040 --> 01:37:43,599
Speaker 2: go to the phone number and you text it and

1968
01:37:43,640 --> 01:37:46,720
Speaker 2: it works with your traditional SMS. So just text it

1969
01:37:47,040 --> 01:37:49,640
Speaker 2: and ask a question. It will text you back. No

1970
01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:54,719
Speaker 2: download required. It can help with plans, recommendations, answers, anything else.

1971
01:37:54,720 --> 01:37:59,360
Speaker 2: Built by former Tesla and Walmart Labs employees. Again, the

1972
01:37:59,360 --> 01:38:02,120
Speaker 2: website tech do Ai. It's free to use. They do

1973
01:38:02,160 --> 01:38:03,920
Speaker 2: not sell your phone number as far as they say.

1974
01:38:04,360 --> 01:38:08,120
Speaker 2: Text dot Ai. If you have a Google Pixel seven A,

1975
01:38:08,720 --> 01:38:11,120
Speaker 2: you got some problems to do battery maybe it's swelling

1976
01:38:11,200 --> 01:38:15,519
Speaker 2: or popping. You can get a free battery replacement. So

1977
01:38:15,880 --> 01:38:20,160
Speaker 2: you got that bulging back cover your phone looks thick, man?

1978
01:38:20,200 --> 01:38:24,080
Speaker 2: What am I talking about here? Rapid battery drain? You

1979
01:38:24,120 --> 01:38:27,439
Speaker 2: got to check eligibility online. But yes, this is the

1980
01:38:27,520 --> 01:38:31,720
Speaker 2: Pixel seven A. If you have some battery swelling, check out.

1981
01:38:31,720 --> 01:38:34,759
Speaker 2: It's called the Pixel seven A Extended Repair Program.

1982
01:38:34,840 --> 01:38:36,280
Speaker 1: I'll put the link on the website.

1983
01:38:37,120 --> 01:38:40,200
Speaker 2: AT and T is adding cruise ship coverage to its

1984
01:38:40,200 --> 01:38:44,160
Speaker 2: International Day Pass, So the International Day Pass now works

1985
01:38:44,200 --> 01:38:46,839
Speaker 2: on cruise ships twenty dollars per day. So it's pricey,

1986
01:38:47,560 --> 01:38:49,880
Speaker 2: but you know, if you're on a cruise, you know

1987
01:38:49,960 --> 01:38:52,680
Speaker 2: it's like one free drink. I guess twenty bucks you

1988
01:38:52,720 --> 01:38:56,439
Speaker 2: saved paid paid for this five hundred megabytes of data

1989
01:38:56,439 --> 01:38:59,559
Speaker 2: plus unlimited talk and text, and it works on land

1990
01:38:59,680 --> 01:39:03,720
Speaker 2: and see surf and turf, so no extra charge when

1991
01:39:03,720 --> 01:39:06,519
Speaker 2: you step off. The ship covers more than four hundred

1992
01:39:06,560 --> 01:39:08,880
Speaker 2: cruise ships. Obviously they have to be in this AT

1993
01:39:08,960 --> 01:39:12,639
Speaker 2: and T coverage zone to work, and there's no data overages.

1994
01:39:12,720 --> 01:39:14,720
Speaker 2: So if you hit that five hundred megabytes, which by

1995
01:39:14,720 --> 01:39:17,320
Speaker 2: the way is not very tough to hit, your speeds

1996
01:39:17,320 --> 01:39:19,719
Speaker 2: will slow down, but you will stay connected.

1997
01:39:19,840 --> 01:39:20,920
Speaker 1: But most of the time.

1998
01:39:20,800 --> 01:39:23,040
Speaker 2: When you hit those data speed bumps, you're just gonna

1999
01:39:23,040 --> 01:39:27,040
Speaker 2: be able to like check your email, let's see what else. Yeah,

2000
01:39:27,280 --> 01:39:32,000
Speaker 2: so AT and T International Day Pass it's called Man,

2001
01:39:32,040 --> 01:39:34,400
Speaker 2: we're just going through a lot of notes here Max,

2002
01:39:35,200 --> 01:39:38,639
Speaker 2: the free ride is over seven dollars and ninety nine cents.

2003
01:39:38,680 --> 01:39:41,799
Speaker 2: If you have someone clinging onto your account, the extra

2004
01:39:41,920 --> 01:39:45,200
Speaker 2: member add on is now available. So if you have

2005
01:39:45,280 --> 01:39:49,160
Speaker 2: someone that's using your MAX log in. Yeah, remember this

2006
01:39:49,200 --> 01:39:51,919
Speaker 2: is to be called HBO Max and Max and they change.

2007
01:39:51,680 --> 01:39:52,599
Speaker 1: The color of the logo.

2008
01:39:53,080 --> 01:39:54,680
Speaker 2: They're all over the place, But you know what I'm

2009
01:39:54,680 --> 01:39:56,880
Speaker 2: talking about. It it's the service that lets you watch

2010
01:39:57,040 --> 01:40:01,519
Speaker 2: HBO shows and other stuff. So the primary account holder

2011
01:40:01,520 --> 01:40:04,160
Speaker 2: can now invite one friend or family member outside their

2012
01:40:04,160 --> 01:40:06,360
Speaker 2: household for eight bucks a month. If you want to

2013
01:40:06,400 --> 01:40:09,120
Speaker 2: pay for them. Extra members get their own log in.

2014
01:40:09,640 --> 01:40:11,600
Speaker 2: They can stream on one device at a time and

2015
01:40:11,640 --> 01:40:15,840
Speaker 2: access everything. Or if you don't want to pay for them,

2016
01:40:16,240 --> 01:40:21,120
Speaker 2: they can transfer their profile to move all of their history, recommendations,

2017
01:40:21,160 --> 01:40:24,360
Speaker 2: and settings. This is only available if you subscribe to

2018
01:40:24,439 --> 01:40:27,799
Speaker 2: MAX directly, not if you're a bundle user. But basically,

2019
01:40:27,880 --> 01:40:30,400
Speaker 2: the bottom line is the free ride is over. If

2020
01:40:30,400 --> 01:40:33,360
Speaker 2: you got people sharing your password, they're going to get

2021
01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:34,960
Speaker 2: that screen that says, hey, you should sign up for

2022
01:40:35,000 --> 01:40:37,000
Speaker 2: your own account. As far as I can tell, you

2023
01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:39,679
Speaker 2: don't have to just yet, but they're going to continue

2024
01:40:39,720 --> 01:40:43,800
Speaker 2: to ratchet this up until they get all the memberships

2025
01:40:43,800 --> 01:40:48,280
Speaker 2: they want out of the freeloaders. And Netflix they have

2026
01:40:48,320 --> 01:40:51,200
Speaker 2: a new subtitle option. I don't know about you, but

2027
01:40:51,280 --> 01:40:53,960
Speaker 2: in my house, we watch a lot of shows with

2028
01:40:54,000 --> 01:40:56,640
Speaker 2: the subtitles on, even though we don't need to. But

2029
01:40:56,720 --> 01:40:58,920
Speaker 2: with all the commotion in the background, the kids playing,

2030
01:40:58,920 --> 01:41:01,080
Speaker 2: you know, they got their iPad, all those things going on,

2031
01:41:01,520 --> 01:41:05,040
Speaker 2: talking to their friends, this is just an easy way to,

2032
01:41:05,160 --> 01:41:07,120
Speaker 2: you know, instead of saying what they just say, you

2033
01:41:07,200 --> 01:41:10,800
Speaker 2: just got the subtitles on. But Netflix knows this, so

2034
01:41:10,840 --> 01:41:14,400
Speaker 2: now they've introduced a new type of subtitle that just

2035
01:41:14,520 --> 01:41:19,600
Speaker 2: includes the words themselves and not the audio cues. So

2036
01:41:19,640 --> 01:41:22,920
Speaker 2: your typical you know, subtitles have things like music swells

2037
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:26,200
Speaker 2: or phone buzzes. They don't have that anymore. Now it's

2038
01:41:26,320 --> 01:41:29,160
Speaker 2: just the words that people are saying. So you can

2039
01:41:29,160 --> 01:41:32,160
Speaker 2: see two choices, now English for dialogue only, and then

2040
01:41:32,240 --> 01:41:35,519
Speaker 2: English CC if you want the full close captions. And

2041
01:41:35,640 --> 01:41:39,040
Speaker 2: this will be on every This will be on more

2042
01:41:39,040 --> 01:41:42,160
Speaker 2: shows moving forward, but right now, it's starting with the

2043
01:41:42,280 --> 01:41:45,320
Speaker 2: season five of the show You, which I've not watched,

2044
01:41:45,720 --> 01:41:49,639
Speaker 2: but I guess that's a popular show. Netflix says half

2045
01:41:50,040 --> 01:41:53,000
Speaker 2: of viewing hours in the US already happened with subtitles

2046
01:41:53,040 --> 01:41:56,200
Speaker 2: on and don't forget you can customize the subtitles by

2047
01:41:56,240 --> 01:41:56,960
Speaker 2: size and font.

2048
01:41:57,040 --> 01:41:57,920
Speaker 1: Some people forget that.

2049
01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:02,439
Speaker 2: Fed back now, Michelle writes in after hearing us talk

2050
01:42:02,479 --> 01:42:07,240
Speaker 2: about the recent settlement payout for Facebook and Zell, I

2051
01:42:07,320 --> 01:42:09,800
Speaker 2: thought the email I got with spam. It said I

2052
01:42:09,880 --> 01:42:11,920
Speaker 2: had a forty dollars payment pending, and it gave me

2053
01:42:11,960 --> 01:42:14,240
Speaker 2: a deadline to click a link. I looked up the

2054
01:42:14,280 --> 01:42:17,920
Speaker 2: case and even called both the settlement administrator and Zel.

2055
01:42:18,320 --> 01:42:20,840
Speaker 2: Turns out it was legit. I'd signed up for it

2056
01:42:20,920 --> 01:42:25,040
Speaker 2: years ago and totally forgot. After some hesitation, I followed through.

2057
01:42:25,080 --> 01:42:28,840
Speaker 2: I'm now forty dollars and sixty seven cents richer. So

2058
01:42:28,920 --> 01:42:32,200
Speaker 2: if you see that Facebook settlement through Zell, yeah, I

2059
01:42:32,240 --> 01:42:34,479
Speaker 2: guess you can claim it. Just be careful because, like

2060
01:42:34,520 --> 01:42:37,000
Speaker 2: we know, the scam artists will play prey upon something

2061
01:42:37,040 --> 01:42:40,320
Speaker 2: that's real and turn it into something that's fake. Gail

2062
01:42:40,360 --> 01:42:43,080
Speaker 2: from Oakland says, is there an easy way to turn

2063
01:42:43,160 --> 01:42:46,719
Speaker 2: a handwritten page of my well formed cursive into text

2064
01:42:47,320 --> 01:42:48,559
Speaker 2: using my iPad pro?

2065
01:42:49,280 --> 01:42:49,519
Speaker 7: Yes?

2066
01:42:50,000 --> 01:42:50,679
Speaker 1: Chat GBT.

2067
01:42:51,280 --> 01:42:54,120
Speaker 2: Take a picture of whatever you're writing and upload it

2068
01:42:54,120 --> 01:42:54,839
Speaker 2: to chat GBT.

2069
01:42:55,120 --> 01:42:57,679
Speaker 1: It will read it and convert it into text.

2070
01:42:58,200 --> 01:43:00,840
Speaker 2: It's fast and it's accurate, and if you're saying you

2071
01:43:00,880 --> 01:43:03,160
Speaker 2: have good cursive, it'll be easy to do that.

2072
01:43:04,560 --> 01:43:05,160
Speaker 1: Good question.

2073
01:43:06,120 --> 01:43:08,920
Speaker 2: Christopher from Justice Illinois writes in, is there a way

2074
01:43:08,920 --> 01:43:11,040
Speaker 2: to see what devices are connected to my WiFi?

2075
01:43:11,200 --> 01:43:11,400
Speaker 1: Yes?

2076
01:43:11,920 --> 01:43:16,120
Speaker 2: There's an app called fing fing iOS and Android give

2077
01:43:16,120 --> 01:43:18,599
Speaker 2: you a list of all the connected devices. Good if

2078
