Speaker 1: Discount and the way you find that two. Ways number
Speaker 1: one the Mac Rumors Buyer's. GUIDE i love this to

Speaker 1: Product it gives a rec commending of a recommendation of
Speaker 1: buy neutral or. Weight Apple Insider Price guides shows the
Speaker 1: lowest current prices across major. Retailers so IF i go
Speaker 1: there right, Now Apple Insider Price. Guides, okay let's just
Speaker 1: Say i'm looking for a new eleven inch iPad AIR m.
Speaker 1: Three IF i go to The Apple, Store i'm gonna
Speaker 1: pay five hundred ninety nine. Dollars IF i go to Best,
Speaker 1: Buy i'm gonna pay five hundred ninety nine. Dollars IF
Speaker 1: i go To, Amazon i'm gonna pay five hundred. DOLLARS
Speaker 1: i just save myself ninety nine dollars just by checking
Speaker 1: this website that's Called Apple Insider Price.
Speaker 2: Guides let's see what.
Speaker 1: Else, oh don't forget About apple tradings that can also
Speaker 1: get you some money towards your next device.
Speaker 2: Deals When i'm.
Speaker 1: Looking for, deals there are two WEBSITES i check on
Speaker 1: a regular. Basis one of THEM i check every single
Speaker 1: day that is Slick deals slickdeals dot. Net you go
Speaker 1: to that website and it is crowdsourced. Deals so basically
Speaker 1: anyone in the universe well that has An internet connection
Speaker 1: can go on this website and, say, HEY i found
Speaker 1: a deal. Online they post the link to that. Website
Speaker 1: other people take a look at those deals and they
Speaker 1: vote up the best. Ones so it's like a discussion
Speaker 1: of the best shoppers in the world over whether this
Speaker 1: is a good, product whether that's a good, deal and
Speaker 1: why it's a good. Deal so if there is a
Speaker 1: deal on a, product chances are Slick deals has. It right,
Speaker 1: Now i'm looking at The nintendo switch to console With
Speaker 1: Mario Kart world four hundred and five dollars typically five.
Speaker 1: Hundred you're not even gonna know about that unless you
Speaker 1: went to Slick deals or maybefunt target dot. Com so
Speaker 1: Slick deals is, great has stuff on you, know, gadgets,
Speaker 1: clothing whatever you.
Speaker 2: Want Deal news a little bit.
Speaker 1: Different they use editors to find the, savings so it's
Speaker 1: a slightly different way of doing, things but you, know
Speaker 1: gets you to the same, place all, right coupon. Codes
Speaker 1: if you want a promo code for a, WEBSITE i
Speaker 1: do not search online at all for. Them you will
Speaker 1: not find good working coupon codes if you just go
Speaker 1: On google. It maybe you, will but nine times out
Speaker 1: of ten you're sitting there for an hour trying different.
Speaker 1: Codes here's the website THAT i go, to simply codes dot.
Speaker 1: Com that's the only WEBSITE i go to to check
Speaker 1: for promo. Codes, NOW i will tell you you may
Speaker 1: go there and not find a code for the. Website, say,
Speaker 1: rich what are you talking. ABOUT i just went. There
Speaker 1: there's no codes for my. Website that means that website
Speaker 1: probably doesn't have a working promo. Code there is so
Speaker 1: much data on this website it is fantastic simply coodes dot. Com,
Speaker 1: now if there is no discount on the thing that
Speaker 1: you want to, buy there is another tactic for getting a,
Speaker 1: discount and that is to buy a discounted gift card
Speaker 1: from the retailer that you're purchasing. From because what happens
Speaker 1: is grandma gives the kid a gift, card the kid, goes,
Speaker 1: Eh i'd rather have, Cash so that fifty dollars gift
Speaker 1: card That grandma just gave. Him the kid is willing
Speaker 1: to sell it to these, websites these retail THESE i
Speaker 1: guess gift card reseller websites at a discount and then
Speaker 1: they will resell it to you at a slightly higher.
Speaker 1: Cost so let's SAY i sell my fifty dollars gift
Speaker 1: card for forty then the gift card website sells it
Speaker 1: to me for forty.
Speaker 2: Two they just made two.
Speaker 1: DOLLARS i made fifty, dollars and then the new person
Speaker 1: has a fifty dollars gift card for forty two, Dollars
Speaker 1: so everyone wins in that. Scenario the website THAT i,
Speaker 1: check and this actually came from a listener a while,
Speaker 1: ago cardbear dot. Com cardbear dot com lists all it's
Speaker 1: like an aggregator. Website so if you want to target
Speaker 1: gift card right, now ten percent, off that's a. Rarity
Speaker 1: and they list all the different retailers that are selling
Speaker 1: gift cards and how much the discount. Is so it's
Speaker 1: almost like a comparison shopping site to all these different
Speaker 1: gift card. Retailers the difference is you have to be.
Speaker 1: Careful number, one make sure it's. Reliable i've used card,
Speaker 1: Cash i've had great luck with. Them read the fine.
Speaker 1: Print some gift cards that you buy only work, online
Speaker 1: some only work in, store some.
Speaker 2: Work in both.
Speaker 1: Places so be very careful because you're not returning these
Speaker 1: gift cards once you buy. Them and don't make the
Speaker 1: MISTAKE i. MADE i bought a gift card THINKING i
Speaker 1: could buy another gift card with it to sort of
Speaker 1: hack the. System and oh, no they. Know they, say,
Speaker 1: uh you can't do. That, Rich, well then address me by,
Speaker 1: name but basically they didn't let me do. It let's
Speaker 1: see what? Else what AM i looking for? Here what
Speaker 1: else DO i want to tell you? About how much
Speaker 1: longer do we?
Speaker 2: Have we?
Speaker 1: Got let's, see it's, okay we got two, minutes all,
Speaker 1: Right so let me tell you about two other. Websites
Speaker 1: if you're a credit card, user you've got AN, amx A,
Speaker 1: chase A city. Card they have these things called offers
Speaker 1: that you have to add to your card and you
Speaker 1: will get a discount at a. Retailer, right, so maybe
Speaker 1: you're going to Best buy and they're, saying, hey if
Speaker 1: you spend one hundred dollars the Best, buy we'll give
Speaker 1: you five dollars on a statement. Credit, well you have
Speaker 1: to activate each one of those independently. Online it's a,
Speaker 1: pain and they know most people don't do, it so
Speaker 1: most people lose out on these. Counts but there are
Speaker 1: two websites that can help you activate all of these offers.
Speaker 1: Automatically as soon as you visit your credit card, company
Speaker 1: you log, In i'll, say, hey do you want us
Speaker 1: to activate all your offers at.
Speaker 2: Once.
Speaker 1: Yes they are called Card pointers cardpointers dot. Com and
Speaker 1: the other one is save Wise get savewise dot. Com,
Speaker 1: NOW i will tell you you have to have a
Speaker 1: pro or a paid membership to get the auto, activation
Speaker 1: but the paid membership is not that expensive and you'll
Speaker 1: probably make back that money if you use a couple
Speaker 1: of these offers throughout the. Year, now you can use
Speaker 1: both of these websites for. Free you just don't get
Speaker 1: the auto. Activation you could still do a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff with. Them but if you want that auto, activate
Speaker 1: you have to pay for this. Service So i'm just
Speaker 1: telling you that out, upfront but it is pretty. Awesome
Speaker 1: and then when you're out of. Store both of these
Speaker 1: websites have an app, where let's say you're Inside, macy's
Speaker 1: you can search in the App. Macy's it will tell
Speaker 1: you which of your cards not only is the best
Speaker 1: to use to get the most points and things like,
Speaker 1: that And i'll play those, games but it will tell
Speaker 1: you which of your cards has an offer that you
Speaker 1: can then charge on that card and get that. OFFER
Speaker 1: i personally, USE i prefer my debit card unless my
Speaker 1: card is leaving my. Hand just remember, that So i'm
Speaker 1: not trying to get you into any credit card debt over.
Speaker 4: Here.
Speaker 1: Uh and then, finally if you want to use a virtual,
Speaker 1: card there's a great website called privacy dot. Com this
Speaker 1: generates one time use virtual card. Numbers you have to
Speaker 1: link your your bank. Account but if you're signing up
Speaker 1: for some sort of free trial or something and you
Speaker 1: know you're gonna, forget privacy dot com will do it all.

Speaker 1: rich ONE o one eight eight eight seven four to
Speaker 1: two four one zero one the website rich on Tech DOT. Tv,
Speaker 1: okay so we've heard this promise before and AFFORDABLE ev,
Speaker 1: well a startup Named slate is aiming to make one next,
Speaker 1: year starting in the mid Twenty and the, secret well it's.
Speaker 2: Not really a. Secret they've talked about. This it's called
Speaker 2: The Blank.
Speaker 1: Slate that's their FIRST ev and it's basically a blank,
Speaker 1: slate so it doesn't even have a center console. Screen
Speaker 1: you buy this car and then you add only the
Speaker 1: things you, want so only comes in one color. Gray
Speaker 1: so let's talk To Jeff, jablinski head of communications At,
Speaker 1: slate to learn more about The SLATE.
Speaker 2: Ev so what Is.
Speaker 6: Slate slate is a New american company building vehicles that
Speaker 6: people can, afford, personalize and.
Speaker 2: Love and what's your first vehicle going to?
Speaker 6: Be so our first vehicle is The Slate, truck which
Speaker 6: we debuted back In. April we revealed it for the
Speaker 6: first time after working on it for about three years in.
Speaker 6: Stealth Slate truck is more than just a pickup. Truck
Speaker 6: it can also convert into a five seed suv and
Speaker 6: we think people are going to love. It we've already
Speaker 6: taken over one hundred thousand reservations from the truck since we.
Speaker 1: Revealed and what's different about this car than every other
Speaker 1: car that's coming out these?
Speaker 6: Days so like every every car that's coming out these
Speaker 6: days is too. Expensive the average price of a new
Speaker 6: car is like fifty thousand. Dollars for used, car it's
Speaker 6: about over thirty thousand. Dollars right, now people are underwater
Speaker 6: and car payments and they're not able to make vehicles
Speaker 6: the way they want.
Speaker 2: To so it's.
Speaker 6: Slate we, said what if we reimagined, it and what
Speaker 6: if we instead of adding things to be, different we.
Speaker 6: Subtracted so the blank slate as we call, it single configuration.
Speaker 6: Vehicle it's AN. Ev we're making them here In, indiana
Speaker 6: and we are really excited about the fact that you
Speaker 6: can personalize it after you buy. It so accessorize it
Speaker 6: from everything from a full vehicle wrap starting around five
Speaker 6: hundred dollars instead of multiples of, that to adding accessories
Speaker 6: from wheel, decals lift, kits.
Speaker 2: You name it and you can do. It is the
Speaker 2: car safe at that?
Speaker 6: Price, Yeah so one of the things that we said
Speaker 6: was everybody deserves a safe. Vehicle so we've designed it
Speaker 6: to BE iihs five star top safety.
Speaker 2: Pick we knew that we couldn't compromise on. That and
Speaker 2: so did you draw in inspiration from like the?
Speaker 1: iPhone like it seems like you've got the blank, slate
Speaker 1: like you, said but then you add accessories like almost
Speaker 1: like a case and a screen.
Speaker 2: Protector is there a software play here as well or?
Speaker 6: No so we took inspiration from the automotive world as
Speaker 6: well as basically everywhere else because we started, from you,
Speaker 6: know part of the. Pond we started from a blank
Speaker 6: slate and from a software, perspective we're actually we're.
Speaker 2: Bringing your own.
Speaker 6: Technology so one of the things you noticed right away
Speaker 6: inside the vehicle is there's no big. Screen people to
Speaker 6: say enough like rere tired of having a big. Screen
Speaker 6: so instead we're decoupled from the consumer electronics life cycle
Speaker 6: and you bring your own. Technology so the blank slate
Speaker 6: comes to the phone, holder and then you can have
Speaker 6: accessories like a tablet if you want, to or bring
Speaker 6: in everything that you.
Speaker 2: Like and it's all.
Speaker 6: Yours there's no, no there's no motive in the vehicle
Speaker 6: h and basically it's it's whenever level of technology you.
Speaker 6: Want is there a dashboard oh, yeah, okay, sashboard, yeah,
Speaker 6: dashboard review camera but basically that's.
Speaker 2: It and what about a?
Speaker 1: Radio, yeah so no, radio so, nothing no entertainment in
Speaker 1: the car except your OWN.
Speaker 2: Byo.
Speaker 6: Yeah so we looked at what people were actually doing
Speaker 6: in their, vehicles and so much of what you use for,
Speaker 6: technology media streaming is already on your, phone so you
Speaker 6: bring that. In THERE'S usb power so you can charge.
Speaker 6: It and we offer blue suit as an. Accessory so,
Speaker 6: yeah but no no radio as standards and.
Speaker 2: So when are you going to get these cars on?
Speaker 6: Roads, yeah so we'll be building vehicles In indiana starting
Speaker 6: in twenty twenty. Six our reservations opened back In, april
Speaker 6: and we can produce up to one hundred and fifty
Speaker 6: thousand of our factory that we re industrializing In.
Speaker 1: Indiana do you think you can actually do? This can
Speaker 1: you get these cars? Made because there's been so many
Speaker 1: issues with you, know affordable evs in the past ten.
Speaker 1: Years everyone says they want to do, it but we
Speaker 1: haven't seen.
Speaker 6: It so we're building the affordable vehicle that's been promised
Speaker 6: but never. Delivered and we did that by not saying
Speaker 6: how can we do this at the lowest, price but
Speaker 6: by eliminating costly parts of the automotive process that people
Speaker 6: aren't asking. For, so for, example there's no. Paint it's
Speaker 6: molded in to the composite panels in the. Vehicle but
Speaker 6: from that point you can wrap. It that's a savings
Speaker 6: in the range of hundreds of millions of. Dollars then
Speaker 6: we can pass right back on to people and hit
Speaker 6: that price.
Speaker 1: Point tell me about the electric aspect of, this it's
Speaker 1: how many miles do you get and how do you charge?
Speaker 6: It, yeah so in the fact that it's an ev
Speaker 6: is almost the least exciting thing about it because of
Speaker 6: everything else that a slate can. Do we have a
Speaker 6: fifty two point seven kill what our battery good for
Speaker 6: about one hundred and fifty miles of. Range if you
Speaker 6: want more, range we have an available eighty four kill
Speaker 6: what our. Battery it's good for about two hundred and forty.
Speaker 6: Miles you can charge it at A tesla supercharger at
Speaker 6: about one hundred and twenty.
Speaker 1: Kilowatts and it's been, reported you, Know Jeff bezos is
Speaker 1: a big investor in this.

Speaker 6: Want and over ten million configurations have already been made
Speaker 6: in the Slate.

Speaker 2: You can do it.
Speaker 6: Yourself and Through Sleeve university is a series of videos
Speaker 6: that we're, producing we'll.

Speaker 6: stations all across THE. Us they have about four thousand
Speaker 6: shops right, now and we're hoping that sleave owners are
Speaker 6: going to be able to find repair poll locations in their.
Speaker 1: Neighborhoods and you've gotten a bunch of reservations for these.
Speaker 1: Cars what are the biggest questions people are asking you about?
Speaker 2: This other than when CAN i get?
Speaker 6: THIS i was going to say that's the first question
Speaker 6: people ask us is how soon CAN i get this
Speaker 6: in my? Driveway because they're drawn to what we're. Offering
Speaker 6: but people are asking about and whether they want THE
Speaker 6: suv kit or if they want the extended range. Battery
Speaker 6: we've seen it take. Wrate that's actually not one way
Speaker 6: or the. Other people are telling us they want. Both,
Speaker 6: YEAH i think what we've, done our commitments of building
Speaker 6: things in THE us has helped us. Significantly our factory
Speaker 6: In indiana was formally a printing, press so they never made.
Speaker 6: Automobiles but we're taking something that existed in the community
Speaker 6: and we're revitalizing. IT i use the term, reindustrialized but
Speaker 6: we're turning that printing press into an automobile factory In, Warsaw.
Speaker 6: Indiana so with that and we're going to be taking
Speaker 6: From indiana and bringing it.
Speaker 2: To the rest of THE. Us All.
Speaker 1: Right that Was Jeff chablonski with the Startup. Slate the
Speaker 1: website Is slate dot auto if you want to check it,
Speaker 1: out but better, yet go to my instagram at rich On.
Speaker 1: Tech people have been debating the merits of this. Car

Speaker 2: Minimalistic so you got to check it.
Speaker 1: Out go To instagram at rich On, tech check out
Speaker 1: the slate ev tell me what you think if you

Speaker 1: IDEA i, MEAN i think we can all use a
Speaker 1: cheap car like. This WELL i shouldn't say cheap inexpensive
Speaker 1: car and you only add the things you. Want BUT
Speaker 1: i think it's really telling that there's no center console.
Speaker 1: Screen you use your phone for. Everything that's going to
Speaker 1: take some getting used to for some, people but for
Speaker 1: others they, say, hey that's What i'm already. Doing all,

Speaker 1: people are doing with faxes these days are taking a
Speaker 1: scan on their phone and using an app to send
Speaker 1: that to a.
Speaker 2: Fax machine on the other.
Speaker 1: End but there's almost no reason for this except maybe
Speaker 1: in the medical, field where a lot of people still
Speaker 1: use fax. Machines but, otherwise you, know an email will
Speaker 1: be just. Fine and EVEN i find a doctor's, offices
Speaker 1: they'll take an. Email at this, point you just have

Speaker 1: gadget of the. Week stay. Tuned this is Rich on.
Speaker 1: T welcome back to Rich On. Tech let's go To
Speaker 1: pat In Apple Valley line.
Speaker 4: Too, pat you're on with Rich, Hey, rich how are
Speaker 4: you doing? Today doing?
Speaker 2: Great what CAN i help you?
Speaker 4: With? HEY i sent you a message this last WEEK
Speaker 4: i think it was Like wednesday or, whatever and you
Speaker 4: gave me some information about some antennis for my travel. Trailer,
Speaker 4: okay but all the ones you gave me were. MASKED
Speaker 4: i had to put them on a, mast you, know
Speaker 4: to put them up or put him in a. Window
Speaker 4: AND i once bought one from home depot that.
Speaker 1: Went in a.
Speaker 4: Window it didn't work with the. Hoot SO i was just,
Speaker 4: wondering what do you think about Wind guard three SIXTY g.
Speaker 1: Five, WELL i don't know the wind guard three SIXTY g.
Speaker 1: Five let me look at it, Though so let's. See
Speaker 1: so you want something that goes where on top of YOUR.
Speaker 3: Rv?
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah WHEN i was looking at, that it said that
Speaker 4: you take the old intenna off and you mount it
Speaker 4: on to where it goes in there because the wires
Speaker 4: all come up for the for THE.
Speaker 1: Tv and, so, okay you're gonna do this, YOURSELF i
Speaker 1: planned on. It, no you're gonna have someone do. It,
Speaker 1: well WHAT i like about this off the bat is
Speaker 1: that it's Got Wi fi and FIVE g when you
Speaker 1: pair it with a, router which is pretty. Cool plus
Speaker 1: it has the over the air antenna, system so it's
Speaker 1: got everything all in one two hundred. DOLLARS i would
Speaker 1: have to look at the, reviews but it seems like
Speaker 1: it would be a pretty. Good oh, wow it's even starlink,
Speaker 1: compatible so you can put starlink in. THERE i would
Speaker 1: say for two hundred. Bucks this thing looks like it's pretty.
Speaker 1: GOOD i don't have any experience with, this but it
Speaker 1: so far seems like it has everything that you need
Speaker 1: for AN. Rv so it's gonna be much more of
Speaker 1: an integrated. Solution you know you're gonna. Be you're gonna
Speaker 1: have to pay someone probably to install, this and Then
Speaker 1: i'm guessing is there a monthly? Fee so you've got
Speaker 1: to you've got to just get the FIVE g service sold. Separately,
Speaker 1: okay four g, uh but you do get that over
Speaker 1: the air antenna as, well so you're getting everything all in.
Speaker 2: One what kind of R v were talking?
Speaker 4: ABOUT i can have a travel trailer at twenty six
Speaker 4: foot travel, trailer.
Speaker 1: Okay and you're trying to, add what's your main priority?
Speaker 1: Here is at THE tv or is at the internet?
Speaker 4: Signal, Well i'm going to be, retiring hopefully in a
Speaker 4: couple of, months and my wife AND i want to,
Speaker 4: travel but right, now we we when we, travel we'd
Speaker 4: stay at R rv resort somewhere it has power and
Speaker 4: water and sewer and. Stuff but WHEN i, Retire i'm
Speaker 4: not going to have the same kind of, cash so
Speaker 4: we're gonna have to be spending sometimes in in a
Speaker 4: state campgrounds and stuff that has nothing like boon. DOCKING
Speaker 4: i guess you would call. It so, okay you, know
Speaker 4: When i'm, out you, know just part, in you, know
Speaker 4: in a regular old. Campground you, Know i'd like to
Speaker 4: be able to you, know maybe turn MY tv on
Speaker 4: or my wife can send. Pictures, well here's.
Speaker 2: The, THING i, MEAN i THINK i think that this is.
Speaker 1: FINE i think, that to be, HONEST i think that you,
Speaker 1: know a lot of people are going with the streaming you,
Speaker 1: know like streaming internet for everything at this. Point so
Speaker 1: unless you're looking specifically to get over the air channels
Speaker 1: wherever you're, going which may or may not be the,
Speaker 1: case it might be easier to do something like A
Speaker 1: t mobile FIVE g home internet, box and that will
Speaker 1: be a lot easier because you can set it up
Speaker 1: everywhere you. Go it's about you, know starts at thirty
Speaker 1: five dollars a, month so it's not that expensive and
Speaker 1: it's not going to cost you a lot like. This
Speaker 1: you're talking this system that you're installing, here you, know
Speaker 1: and that's just the, antenna the top part that two hundred.
Speaker 1: Dollars then you've got to get a, gateway a FOUR
Speaker 1: g or FIVE g gateway if you want that thing
Speaker 1: to handle the internet. Connection that's another five three fifty
Speaker 1: to five hundred. Dollars so now you're up to about
Speaker 1: see three fifty four five about six hundred dollars just
Speaker 1: for the. Devices then you have to get it. Installed
Speaker 1: then you got to pay. Monthly so you're getting to
Speaker 1: a very expensive solution. Here AND i think it might
Speaker 1: be easier just to go with one of these Home
Speaker 1: internet boxes that you can just bring anywhere you plug and.
Speaker 1: Play it's going to pull in a signal and then
Speaker 1: you can use that as YOUR WiFi for your WHOLE
Speaker 1: rv and use STREAMING. Tv and there's a ton of
Speaker 1: free STREAMING tv you can. Watch you don't really have
Speaker 1: to worry about. THAT i think that's going to be
Speaker 1: a better solution for. YOU i would start with one of,
Speaker 1: those BECAUSE i don't know if these, THINGS i don't
Speaker 1: think they have a contract.
Speaker 2: NECESSARILY i have to check on.
Speaker 1: That but you know you've Got verizon AND T mobile
Speaker 1: are the two big companies that are pushing these these home,
Speaker 1: internet these wireless home internet. Boxes SO i THINK i
Speaker 1: would start with one of, those see how that works
Speaker 1: out for, you and then if none of that, works
Speaker 1: THEN i would go to one of these more you,
Speaker 1: know built in. Solutions but you're you're talking a lot
Speaker 1: of money to get started with this. Antenna so good, Question,
Speaker 1: Pat thanks for the. CALL i hope that helps appreciate.
Speaker 1: It eight eight Eight rich ONE o one eight eight
Speaker 1: eight seven four to two four one zero. One let's
Speaker 1: go To let's go To matthew And Marietta line. One matthew, There.
Speaker 9: Hi rich have a, question, sure wondering if you know
Speaker 9: anything about The Frontier communications nationwide.
Speaker 1: Outage i'm looking online at the nationwide outage for Front.
Speaker 1: Frontier i'm not seeing anything specific From. Frontier they do
Speaker 1: have a, okay let's see, here so let me put.
Speaker 1: In The frontier has a help page where you can
Speaker 1: put in your address and it can tell you if
Speaker 1: there is an outage in your.
Speaker 2: Area and So i'm looking and let's. See let's Just
Speaker 2: i'm gonna search real.
Speaker 1: Quick the thing with outages is that they come and,
Speaker 1: go and you, know they by the time you talk about,
Speaker 1: them they're already. Back So I'm i'm not seeing a
Speaker 1: nationally reported outage From, frontier so it could be a local.
Speaker 1: Thing there's a couple of ways you can. Check number,
Speaker 1: one there's two. WEBSITES i go to the first well
Speaker 1: And frontier has their. Own so if you go to
Speaker 1: A frontier check for service, outages Like frontier's, website you
Speaker 1: can type in your your physical address and it will
Speaker 1: tell you if there is a reported outage in your.
Speaker 1: Area if there's, not it's probably something that's locally happening
Speaker 1: with your router or with your. Setup so that's number.
Speaker 1: One then you can go to a website like downdetector dot. Com,
Speaker 1: now if you go to down, detector it does report
Speaker 1: That frontier folks are definitely registering some, issues but to
Speaker 1: be quite, honest it's not a. Lot you're talking like
Speaker 1: seventy three issues. Today that's not that many, reports SO
Speaker 1: i would look, there let's see. Here but people are reporting,
Speaker 1: it so there's Definitely i'm seeing reports of outages In Los, Angeles,
Speaker 1: Dallas Saint, Louis, Washington, Tampa. Okay and then the other
Speaker 1: website is down for everyone or just me dot com
Speaker 1: and they're, saying we're not detecting any problems With frontier right.
Speaker 1: Now so WHAT i would do is in the, meantime
Speaker 1: check out for sure That frontier outage. Website check for
Speaker 1: service outages at your. Address if it is, Out usually
Speaker 1: they fix these things pretty. Quickly it should tell you
Speaker 1: what the problem. Is OTHERWISE i would use the hotspot
Speaker 1: on your phone in the meantime or find some Free
Speaker 1: Wi fi to get that going. There thanks for the,
Speaker 1: Call matthew And. MIRIATT i appreciate. It eight eight eight
Speaker 1: rich one on One more rich On tech come your

Speaker 1: lot of these trifoldable phones over In china from companies Like.
Speaker 1: Huawei Now samsung, says hold my, Beer i've got one.
Speaker 1: Too so The samsung trifold will launch In korea On december,

Speaker 1: Here but are you ready for a trifoldable? Phone most

Speaker 1: mean it's like it's like tiny number of people that
Speaker 1: have a foldable phone here over In, asia much more,
Speaker 1: popular and so of course Just samsung is, global appealing
Speaker 1: to a global. Market so we'll see how this does
Speaker 1: In korea when it rolls, out and then we'll have
Speaker 1: it here in THE us in the first, quarter probably
Speaker 1: about twenty five hundred.
Speaker 2: Dollars that's what we're looking at.

Speaker 1: a foldable phone next, year so we don't know for,
Speaker 1: sure but that's the big. Rumor so we'll see what

Speaker 1: me personally THAT i, want BUT i can see the.
Speaker 1: APPEAL i know there's a lot of. People any any
Speaker 1: PERSON i know that has one absolutely loves.
Speaker 2: It so it's just not for me.
Speaker 1: PERSONALLY i still like the standard. Phone but you, know
Speaker 1: as these things get better and more, durable we'll see what.
Speaker 1: Happens all, Right let's go to line. Three tanya waiting
Speaker 1: patiently there In Orange. County, tanya how can we help?
Speaker 5: Hi?
Speaker 10: Rich thank you so much for taking my. CALL i feel,
Speaker 10: like first of, ALL i feel like my course has
Speaker 10: been asked an answer b it for AND i do
Speaker 10: apologize for, that BUT i thought it might be a
Speaker 10: good ask for the holiday discounts some new. Laptops so
Speaker 10: WHAT Pc windows laptop would you recommend? Please for my
Speaker 10: husband who's a casual, user a price range between five
Speaker 10: to eight, hundred has a tech, screen is lightweight about fifteen,
Speaker 10: inches has a fast. Consciensor it's, quiet meaning no fan.
Speaker 10: Noise in, ADDITION i don't know whether to get sixteen
Speaker 10: or thirty two. Gigabytes he will be using it for,
Speaker 10: emails in our, browsing writing and shaving, documents and viewing.
Speaker 10: YouTube and just a little, FOOTNOTE i did Purchase adell
Speaker 10: sixteen inch touch screen laptop Until core. Seven that didn't work.
Speaker 10: Out the fan would just not shut, down AND i
Speaker 10: contacted customer service and they weren't able to troubleshoot. It
Speaker 10: so they'll be going.
Speaker 1: Back, Okay, well at least your question is not. Specific
Speaker 1: but so here's the. Deal if you want something that
Speaker 1: does not have fan, noise you want you want what's
Speaker 1: called a Snap dragon. Processor, Okay so these are the
Speaker 1: new generation of processors that are much more efficient Because
Speaker 1: snapdragon is known for their mobile phone processors and now
Speaker 1: they're applying that same logic to. Laptops so if you
Speaker 1: want a laptop that is really nice and, quiet you
Speaker 1: want to look for something That's.
Speaker 2: Snapdragon and what's he going to be doing on.
Speaker 10: This, computer LIKE i, said Just internet browsing, emails, writing saving,
Speaker 10: documents and dealing you, too.
Speaker 4: Just a casual.
Speaker 2: Okay So snapdragon is going to be completely fine for.
Speaker 4: That.
Speaker 1: Okay so the website That i'm going to Is qualcomm
Speaker 1: dot com Slash Snapdragon laptops And, Tablets, okay and they've
Speaker 1: got a. Bunch now here's the, thing the. Touchscreen the
Speaker 1: first THING i WOULD i would recommend over any tablet
Speaker 1: out there is The asus Zen book or any.
Speaker 2: Laptop. RATHER i love this.
Speaker 1: Laptop i'm using it personally right. HERE i think it's
Speaker 1: a fantastic. Laptop for some, reason and this may be
Speaker 1: just the model that they sent me to, review the
Speaker 1: ONE i. Have for some, reason they ditched the touch
Speaker 1: screen on The snapdragon, version so that is something to look.
Speaker 1: For BUT i think that laptop is really really. Good
Speaker 1: so that's the number, one the a sus Zen BOOK a. Fourteen.
Speaker 1: Okay the other laptop That i've personally tested THAT i
Speaker 1: really like is called THE Hp omnibook five and that
Speaker 1: one also has A snapdragon and it does have a touch.
Speaker 1: SCREEN i really like that, One so you've got that
Speaker 1: one as. Well let me just make sure hold, ON
Speaker 1: i gotta confirm the touch. Screen you got to confirm
Speaker 1: with These snapdragons that they have the touch. Screen maybe
Speaker 1: there's something about it that they don't like it as
Speaker 1: much or it uses too much. Energy the other one
Speaker 1: is and this became highly recommended from one of our
Speaker 1: experts on the, Show Dan ackerman Of. Microcenter a couple months.
Speaker 1: Ago he said he really likes The Lenovo Idea pad,
Speaker 1: slim so that's another option. There and then if you
Speaker 1: want to go with kind of like you, know the
Speaker 1: best of the, best The Microsoft surface laptops or The
Speaker 1: Surface pro are going to be really good as. Well
Speaker 1: so those are the LAPTOPS i would recommend if you
Speaker 1: if you want that, quiet that quiet, laptop you have
Speaker 1: to go with A snapdragon because it's just not gonna
Speaker 1: some of these may not even need a, fan but
Speaker 1: some of them are just not going to fire up
Speaker 1: the fan as much because they're just not as power
Speaker 1: hungry as An intel processor or an AM A md.
Speaker 1: Processor the other place to look for these. DEALS i
Speaker 1: know you mentioned it's the, holidays everyone's looking for a laptop.
Speaker 1: Deal you got to go to slick, deals dot net
Speaker 1: slash laptop dash. Deals that is WHAT i look, for
Speaker 1: and this will this will give you all the laptops
Speaker 1: that people are finding that are excellent. Deals and so
Speaker 1: you can scroll through there and kind of go through
Speaker 1: and see what people are saying about these. Laptops the
Speaker 1: price that you, mentioned so if you wanted something that
Speaker 1: was like under nine hundred, dollars it sounded, like so
Speaker 1: you can go in there and filter by nine. Hundred
Speaker 1: AND i don't know why that filter doesn't work that.
Speaker 1: Well every TIME i put it in, there it doesn't
Speaker 1: work as. Well But i'm looking. Here you mentioned the
Speaker 1: thirty two versus sixteen gigabytes OF. RAM i would always
Speaker 1: go with MORE ram if you, can BECAUSE ram is
Speaker 1: what keeps your computer working really fast in the. Moment
Speaker 1: so the hard, DRIVE i would say one terabyte is
Speaker 1: going to be good for most. People that is where
Speaker 1: you store your stuff long, term but short, term THE
Speaker 1: ram really does all.
Speaker 2: Of the heavy.
Speaker 1: Lifting so the more that you can get in THE ram,
Speaker 1: department the better the computer is going to be at
Speaker 1: efficiency and staying cool and processing things. Fast so my
Speaker 1: computer has thirty two AND i think that works pretty.
Speaker 1: Well oh oh, gosh wait a, second mine only has twenty.
Speaker 1: Four i'm. SORRY i THOUGHT i got thirty two last,
Speaker 1: time BUT i GUESS i. Didn't maybe that's why it's slowing.
Speaker 1: Down so, yeah, anywhere the thirty two is going to
Speaker 1: probably be the best bet at this. Point but what
Speaker 1: your husband's doing on there is not completely memory. Intensive
Speaker 1: if you told me he was editing videos and photos
Speaker 1: all the, time, Sure but, again look for those Snap dragon.
Speaker 2: COMPUTERS i think those are going to be the.
Speaker 1: Best and just by the, way when you look at Those,
Speaker 1: snapdragons there are different levels of The snapdragon. Processor so
Speaker 1: just like they have the levels of processors for The
Speaker 1: intel and THE, amd there Are snapdragon. Versions so you've
Speaker 1: got The SNAPDRAGON, x THE x, plus then you have
Speaker 1: THE X elite and THE x Two. Elite so again
Speaker 1: the higher you, know you can just tell by the naming,

Speaker 1: eighty two billion dollar. DEAL i guess they. ARE i
Speaker 1: don't know. WHATEVER i don't understand the financial parts of,

Speaker 1: how to explain, it but it's seventy two billion to
Speaker 1: eighty two, billion whatever the numbers work. Out i'm not
Speaker 1: the numbers, guy but it's a lot of. Money So
Speaker 1: netflix canna Acquire Warner, Brothers Discovery, STUDIOS, hbo AND Hbo.
Speaker 1: Max they're gonna Keep Warner brothers operations, intact including its
Speaker 1: theatrical film. Releases that means they're still gonna put movies

Speaker 1: ton of, franchises INCLUDING, dc all the superhero, Stuff Harry, Potter, Friends,
Speaker 1: Sopranos game Of.
Speaker 2: Thrones that's all going Into, Netflix so this is going
Speaker 2: to be. Wild.
Speaker 1: Now netflix says the merger is going to give consumers
Speaker 1: more choice with deeper film AND tv catalogs plus continued global. Reach,
Speaker 1: okay that's what they're. Saying what does it really mean for?
Speaker 1: Consumers your prices are going. Up netflix is going to cost.
Speaker 1: More so take Whatever Warner brothers is charging for their streaming,
Speaker 1: SERVICE Hbo max and add that to the price Of.
Speaker 1: Netflix that's what you're going to be paying if they
Speaker 1: mix these two things, together which it sounds, like of

Speaker 1: year three and expects the deal to be profitable by year.
Speaker 2: Two now what does that. Mean that means people are
Speaker 2: going to get.

Speaker 1: Know theater, owners according To Hollywood, reporter are already sounding the,
Speaker 1: alarm saying, that you, Know netflix does not like to
Speaker 1: put things in.
Speaker 2: Movie, theaters so that's a.
Speaker 1: Problem Uh as for regulatory, SCRUTINY i DON'T i don't
Speaker 1: see it being a.
Speaker 2: Problem this is gonna slide right, through.
Speaker 1: GUARANTEED i just don't see it being a problem because
Speaker 1: when you think about something Like Warner, brothers it is
Speaker 1: an old school company doing things in a very old school.
Speaker 1: Way netflix is a new school company doing things in
Speaker 1: a very new school. Way the government's gonna, say, yeah
Speaker 1: these two can use each. Other so we're probably not
Speaker 1: going to see a big issue.
Speaker 2: There this is. HUGE i, mean this is this is a.
Speaker 1: Company netflix used to be laughed out of meetings with
Speaker 1: old school studios Like Warner.
Speaker 2: Brothers now they're buying. Them just think about. That let
Speaker 2: that settle. In this is rich On. Tech welcome back
Speaker 2: to Rich On. Tech Rich demiro here.
Speaker 1: Hanging out with, you talking technology At TRIPLE a rich
Speaker 1: one on one eight eight eight seven four to two
Speaker 1: four one zero. One Uh, HOWARD i see you. There
Speaker 1: we're gonna get you in just a. Moment but FIRST
Speaker 1: i want to tell you about the one plus, fifteen
Speaker 1: the gadget of the. Week last, WEEK i was In
Speaker 1: arizona for a bit with the, family having a little,
Speaker 1: vacation AND i got a lot of time to test
Speaker 1: out the one plus. Fifteen this just went, well, Okay
Speaker 1: so it was delayed in the. Us we talked about.
Speaker 1: That now pre orders have started because it IS fcc,
Speaker 1: Certified SO i will tell you this is the most
Speaker 1: Powerful android PHONE i have ever. Tested it is a
Speaker 1: screaming fast. PHONE i love. That it also has a huge,
Speaker 1: battery over seven thousand millionamp. Hours most phones top out
Speaker 1: around five, thousand So i'm not. Kidding you could, Not.
Speaker 1: Tanner you helped me test, this so you can tell
Speaker 1: me about. It you love this, phone didn't? You what
Speaker 1: was your playing games on?
Speaker 4: It?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: OH i can't hear. You oh, Okay bobo has left
Speaker 1: the room AND i can't Hear. Tanner, Okay so we're
Speaker 1: gonna have to get your thoughts on it in a
Speaker 1: little bit. Now if you're keeping track one plus skip
Speaker 1: the four fourteen and you know that now they're doing the.
Speaker 1: Fifteen so it's got this Latest Snapdragon Qualcomms snapdragon, processor
Speaker 1: so it's really. Fast you can video edit on, it
Speaker 1: you can game on. It The android, software WHICH i
Speaker 1: kind of poop pooed last, TIME i actually really, like
Speaker 1: so that grew on. Me it's got a solid, build
Speaker 1: high water and dust, resistance no wireless. Charge it does
Speaker 1: have wireless, charging but no. Magnets so if you wanted
Speaker 1: to get like the magnetic accessories on the, back you
Speaker 1: would have to get a case that has. Magnets the
Speaker 1: other thing you need to know about this is that
Speaker 1: it doesn't have some of these safety features That i've
Speaker 1: really grown to, love which is satellite messaging and car crash.
Speaker 1: Detection so those are two things That i've really liked
Speaker 1: that this does not. Have but, otherwise the biggest downside
Speaker 1: to this phone is really the. Camera it is excellent
Speaker 1: when it.
Speaker 2: Works.
Speaker 1: It you, know sometimes the camera is just, amazing but
Speaker 1: other times it's just hit or. Miss and so that's
Speaker 1: my only downside to this phone is LIKE i want
Speaker 1: a phone in my pocket THAT i can trust every single,
Speaker 1: time and this ONE i JUST i love it for
Speaker 1: the powerful nature of, it BUT i don't trust the.
Speaker 2: Camera. Tanner, okay, Now bobo's back. Up so you tried.
Speaker 2: This you played all kinds of games on this, thing, Right.
Speaker 7: Yeah SO i downloaded a lot of games on that
Speaker 7: phone on the app, store AND i will say it's
Speaker 7: like a great gaming, Phone like there's no, lag which.
Speaker 2: Is like it's like.
Speaker 11: Good.
Speaker 2: Yeah in the battery, life the battery life.
Speaker 7: Literally in the car when we were on our road trip,
Speaker 7: THERE i was playing a game for like one hour
Speaker 7: straight and the battery only went down by like three
Speaker 7: percent and didn't even have low power mode, on WHICH
Speaker 7: i thought was like.
Speaker 2: Insane like how what about the what did it get?
Speaker 2: Hot did it heat up a lot or?
Speaker 7: Not so ACTUALLY i was pretty surprised because in the,
Speaker 7: CAR i was in direct, sunlight and in the hotel
Speaker 7: room WHEN i was playing sometimes the battery like or,
Speaker 7: no it didn't get, hot nothing got. Hot only WHEN
Speaker 7: i was on it for like a little longer than
Speaker 7: an hour it would have gone it like did get.
Speaker 2: Hot but the battery life is. Awesome the battery life.
Speaker 1: Is LIKE i don't even get how it, stays like,
Speaker 1: yeah eight hundred ninety nine dollars for the one plus.
Speaker 1: Fifteen they're given anyone basically one hundred dollars off if
Speaker 1: you trade in any phone in any.
Speaker 2: Condition so that's pretty.
Speaker 1: Good but, again if you just want a, phone like
Speaker 1: if the camera is not your top priority and you
Speaker 1: want like one of the Best android, devices and you
Speaker 1: can look past that whole like you, know satellite messaging
Speaker 1: and the car crash, detection you, know this is a
Speaker 1: really really nice.
Speaker 2: Phone so one plus. Fifteen there you have.
Speaker 7: It.

Speaker 9: Happy to be, Here thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: So first, off tell me what offline dot now is all.
Speaker 9: About, Right so we're the first platform on the web
Speaker 9: here to help people find digital balance in their, lives find,
Speaker 9: it maintain, it improve their relationships with the screens in their.
Speaker 2: Lives do you think people have a good relationship with?
Speaker 9: Screens you, KNOW i think that most people fifty percent
Speaker 9: Of americans will say that they are addicted to their,
Speaker 9: screens but only seven percent are. Clinical SO i think
Speaker 9: people are motivated to make some changes in their.
Speaker 1: Lives what's the difference between saying you're addicted and clinical?
Speaker 2: Addiction you, know.
Speaker 9: Everyone in their life has what they're doing with their,
Speaker 9: time what they want to be spending, doing and you
Speaker 9: know how they are actually spending their. Time and so
Speaker 9: people might say them myself Like i'm using my phone
Speaker 9: too much When i'm with my, partner When i'm at
Speaker 9: the dinner, table When i'm with my. Kids MAYBE i
Speaker 9: might want to make a change. There so you, know
Speaker 9: whether it's addiction or, not it's just if you perceive
Speaker 9: that you should be using your time, differently you want
Speaker 9: to make a, Change we want to help you get.
Speaker 1: There so what you've got this three minute self? Assessment
Speaker 1: what's that all? About, sure it's just asking people two
Speaker 1: really simple. Questions how motivated are you to make that
Speaker 1: change on a scale of one to, six and how
Speaker 1: self confident are you and your ability to make that
Speaker 1: change when you want? To and that could be putting
Speaker 1: the phone down when you're doom scrolling and you want
Speaker 1: to go to, bed or you, know focusing on your
Speaker 1: studing whatever that. Is but that drops you into one
Speaker 1: of four types, overwhelmed, stuck, ready or. Unconcerned and each
Speaker 1: one of those types gives you a starting place for
Speaker 1: changing your phone. Habits so it kind of when changing
Speaker 1: habits is, hard starting in the right place is. Key
Speaker 1: and that's what we help people. Do can you give
Speaker 1: us one sort of like one morning habit that WILL i,
Speaker 1: mean doom scrolling is pretty common with, everyone you, know
Speaker 1: whatever it, is whether It's, TikTok whether it's you, know
Speaker 1: used to Be twitter all the time now IT'S.
Speaker 2: X i, mean Even, instagram you can do the same.
Speaker 1: THING i, MEAN i think doom scroll just in general
Speaker 1: means like to, me it means you're just scrolling all the, time,
Speaker 1: aimlessly not, necessarily you're just stuck.
Speaker 9: In it could be a dating, app it could Be,
Speaker 9: amazon it could be, shopping it doesn't. Matter it could
Speaker 9: be digital goods for a game you love to. Play
Speaker 9: it's just getting stuck in that. Loop and so what
Speaker 9: can you give me a habit that can help us stop?
Speaker 4: That you? KNOW i mean you said in the.
Speaker 9: Morning the morning is, critical right because it sets the
Speaker 9: tone for the whole. Day and if you're getting up
Speaker 9: and using your phone within the first fifteen minutes of getting,
Speaker 9: up you're training your brain to be in emergency. Mode
Speaker 9: you're giving it a dopamine hit first thing in the,
Speaker 9: morning before it even is a wake and that sets
Speaker 9: kind of the tone that you're going to spend your
Speaker 9: day running and setting out.
Speaker 2: Fire so if you can get, up have a glass of,
Speaker 2: water get some fresh.
Speaker 9: Air if it could be really, hard maybe maybe wait five,
Speaker 9: minutes best to wait fifteen if you. Can but you'll
Speaker 9: notice that your day is different if you can give
Speaker 9: yourself a little bit of a break before you get.
Speaker 1: STARTED i, mean that is really, tough because it's just
Speaker 1: one of those things where it's it's. Habit people literally wake,
Speaker 1: up And i'll be, HONEST i do the same. Thing
Speaker 1: you wake, up you literally roll over and you pick
Speaker 1: up your.
Speaker 2: Phone that's what you. Do that is WHAT i would.
Speaker 1: Say Now i'd be curious to Maybe i'll do a
Speaker 1: poll on My instagram to see what people. Say but,
Speaker 1: LIKE i feel like that's what the reality is for
Speaker 1: a lot Of, americans where you just get up and
Speaker 1: you look at your.
Speaker 2: Phone, YEAH i, meant get let's get real about.
Speaker 9: THIS i, mean it's not habit. Change like habit change
Speaker 9: is hard to begin with starting to go to the,
Speaker 9: gym quitting, smoking for, sure but then you've got this
Speaker 9: intimate relationship with your. Phone you sleep with, it use
Speaker 9: it in the, bathroom it's all over your commute every.
Speaker 9: Minute you're used to taking out hundreds of times a,
Speaker 9: day and people are having intimate conversations WITH ai with
Speaker 9: like so it's really, personal and changing an intimate relationship
Speaker 9: like that is even. Harder which is why you, know
Speaker 9: using rule based approaches or you, know like giving yourselves,
Speaker 9: ultimatums it's not necessarily setting yourself up for.
Speaker 1: Success this really resonates with me. Now some people will,
Speaker 1: say you, KNOW i need to be. On i'm a high,
Speaker 1: Performer i'm, working my job depends on. IT i need
Speaker 1: to be on twenty four to. Seven i've started to
Speaker 1: see some of these little emails THAT i get from
Speaker 1: people that, says, hey our work hours may be, different
Speaker 1: don't expect to reply for me at these times at those.
Speaker 1: Times so maybe they've already read your. Book but what
Speaker 1: do you think about? Boundaries will they actually work for
Speaker 1: people that feel like they need to be on twenty
Speaker 1: four to?
Speaker 2: Seven you, know people that are.
Speaker 9: High performers know that delivering that, product whatever it, is
Speaker 9: requires time and brain power and, attention and sometimes high
Speaker 9: performers have a real challenge carving out the time to
Speaker 9: get focused and do what they need to. Do boundaries are,
Speaker 9: important you, Know boundaries on your, phone boundaries on your
Speaker 9: work on you know your co, workers are about time for.
Speaker 9: Yourself so maybe maybe your phone needs to have office.
Speaker 9: Hours you, know and your phone likes to tell you
Speaker 9: everything is, important. Right it's always going to tell you
Speaker 9: pick me up right. Now and the apps also want
Speaker 9: tons of, attention so you need to manage that phone
Speaker 9: otherwise it's going to manage. You and you, KNOW i
Speaker 9: just want to jump. In this is not about being anti.
Speaker 9: Tech this is not saying break up with your, phone
Speaker 9: you shouldn't be using. It it's about being conscious about
Speaker 9: the relationships with your device in your, life and if
Speaker 9: you don't manage, it it will manage.
Speaker 1: You, yeah AND i do think we are going to
Speaker 1: Have you, know when when technology came, out everyone was a, cheerleader, right,
Speaker 1: like including all the journalists and all the people that
Speaker 1: were promoting. Technology it was we were excited because it
Speaker 1: did things that we've never seen.
Speaker 2: Before.
Speaker 1: Right it starts the whole internet for anything you want in, seconds, information,
Speaker 1: music it's all. VIDEO i, mean it's all kind of
Speaker 1: come down this. Pipe but now we're getting to the
Speaker 1: point where people are starting to, Realize, wait hold, on
Speaker 1: who's in charge? Here AM i still in? Charge or
Speaker 1: is this little device that vibrates on my wrist every ten?
Speaker 1: Seconds like you, said everything's? IMPORTANT i just got a, DoorDash, like, Hey,
Speaker 1: rich it's been a while since you open the, app, Right,
Speaker 1: like that's not. Important that should not be ringing my
Speaker 1: wrist in the middle of a conversation on a national radio.
Speaker 9: Show the early days of the, web when we fell
Speaker 9: in love AND i had an early social media, agency,
Speaker 9: like it was about, community bringing people, together doing things
Speaker 9: that could never have been done, before democratizing, media you,
Speaker 9: know connecting communities and people with similar interests across the.
Speaker 9: World but then it shifted from community building to attention,
Speaker 9: harvesting and the business model became monetizing that, attention and
Speaker 9: so training you and these apps train you to give
Speaker 9: them your. Attention and SO i think people are now
Speaker 9: becoming consciously aware of. That and there's behavioral research that's
Speaker 9: longitudinally about the damage. There so you, know people can
Speaker 9: make these changes in their. Lives they have, agency it
Speaker 9: just takes time and. Effort tell me about The, sundays
Speaker 9: the reset. DAY i think that you're saying that that's
Speaker 9: a good day for a. RESET i like to think
Speaker 9: Of sundays as LIKE i try not to be on
Speaker 9: my computer or phone as.
Speaker 2: Much how can that help?
Speaker 1: Us?
Speaker 9: Right, so we've been taking this assessment the offline Now
Speaker 9: matrix on our. Site hundreds of people have given it to,
Speaker 9: us so we know their, motivation, confidence time of, day
Speaker 9: day of. Week sunday is the highest day FOR. Ready
Speaker 9: sunday is the day where people believe they can make
Speaker 9: all those changes in their lives that they want to.
Speaker 9: Make and on the highest times for ready are weekdays
Speaker 9: from like five to nine pm and a little bit
Speaker 9: in the. Morning So, sunday sit down with, yourself your,
Speaker 9: partner your. Kids think about what kind of experiments you
Speaker 9: want to try during the week to change. Things kind,
Speaker 9: experiments think about ones that you can do between five
Speaker 9: to eight, pm and then give it a. Shot see
Speaker 9: how you. Do and it's not about success or. Failure
Speaker 9: what did you learn from those. Experiments but my advice
Speaker 9: start with stuff that's really small that you can guarantee
Speaker 9: you're going to be successful up because at the, beginning
Speaker 9: it's not about changing that. Relationship it's about building your
Speaker 9: confidence that you can do it, right bit by.
Speaker 1: Bit AND i love you know you mentioned also low tech,
Speaker 1: swaps you, know LIKE i really AND i know kindle
Speaker 1: is still high, tech BUT i love reading on My
Speaker 1: kindle because it's not an iPad and it's not my,
Speaker 1: phone which have the same type of.
Speaker 2: Screen The kindle to me is like a.
Speaker 1: Book AND i REALLY i find that WHEN i do
Speaker 1: stuff like, that WHEN i kind of disconnect and just
Speaker 1: read it, all it's just it's so weird how in
Speaker 1: today's day and, age that feels like you're doing something
Speaker 1: so good for, yourself, right something as simple as just
Speaker 1: reading a.
Speaker 2: Book i'm totally with.
Speaker 9: You you, Know i'm a high tech.
Speaker 2: GUY i love.
Speaker 9: MUSIC i GOT. Adhd some music is like what gets
Speaker 9: my brain fired. Up SO i bought myself a high
Speaker 9: resolution music. PLAYER i get up in the morning AND
Speaker 9: i can crank up the tunes without having to use
Speaker 9: my phone to give me my, music which will give
Speaker 9: which will take me in a whole other. Direction so
Speaker 9: that's one thing you can. Do but the trick is
Speaker 9: to figure out what gets you. Excited what is that
Speaker 9: skill you want to, learn that habit you want to,
Speaker 9: learn that thing you love to do that you want
Speaker 9: to bring. Back are you doom scrolling.
Speaker 2: In the couch and you love to.
Speaker 9: Sketch make sure that there's a sketchbook with a bunch
Speaker 9: of pencils on the on the, countertop and you, know

Speaker 9: do a tiny doodle and then pick that phone back, up,
Speaker 9: like don't make it. Existential but after two weeks you
Speaker 9: might have like thirty forty drawings and you're, like, Oh

Speaker 3: know things you can, do but it doesn't really say
Speaker 3: which one gives.
Speaker 4: You the best.
Speaker 3: Quality the best, sound AND i was wondering if you'd
Speaker 3: give me some insight on.
Speaker 1: That, okay, well there's a lot of ways you can do, this,
Speaker 1: obviously there's so. MANY i, mean there's you, know you
Speaker 1: can Connect sonos to these. Things you can do you,
Speaker 1: know there's a new thing that just came out out Of.
Speaker 1: Sweden let's see. Here it is the MY i haven't
Speaker 1: gotten it, yet but they just they're sending one to
Speaker 1: me to test. Out it's The atonamo Stream. Player and
Speaker 1: this is sort of a little box that connects your,
Speaker 1: products like you're talking. About so it's like an audio
Speaker 1: streaming device that you can pair and you, know connect speakers.
Speaker 1: Wirelessly you can plug in via cable to your speaker
Speaker 1: and then connect it to your home.
Speaker 2: Network but that that one is more Like.
Speaker 1: Google it has all the different things built in Like,
Speaker 1: Spotify Title, Connect Google Cast, airplay which you could then
Speaker 1: use from your laptop to the device and the device
Speaker 1: would connect to your. Speaker so that's one way of going.
Speaker 1: About But i've not tested, it SO i can't tell
Speaker 1: you how good it. Is but that's about one hundred.
Speaker 1: Dollars the thing THAT i think is probably going to
Speaker 1: be the best for what you need is called the
Speaker 1: whim wiim and this is a device that is basically
Speaker 1: meant to do what you're talking. About so they have
Speaker 1: so many if you go to their website whim home Wiim,
Speaker 1: home they have so many little devices here that will
Speaker 1: do pretty much what you. Need and it's kind of
Speaker 1: like that that RECEIVER i just, mentioned but it's got
Speaker 1: a lot of inputs on the, back so you can
Speaker 1: connect your computer if you want your. Laptop but again
Speaker 1: it Does, Spotify, Airplay alexa, Cast, Title Google, cast and some.
Speaker 1: Others so once you connect these to your, system you,
Speaker 1: know you would basically connect your, system set it up
Speaker 1: however you, want your old school, system and then you
Speaker 1: would connect one of these little devices to, it and
Speaker 1: then your computer would connect to this device in any.
Speaker 1: Way you can connect to hard, cable or you can
Speaker 1: connect via all these different. Services the whim if you
Speaker 1: look on the back of it has all the different
Speaker 1: sort of inputs and outputs that you.
Speaker 2: Need i'm looking at the streamcast. ONE i got to.
Speaker 1: See let me see if that one says what kind of.
Speaker 1: Connections it HAS USB c power. Input it's got analog,
Speaker 1: output so as long as you could use that analog
Speaker 1: output to your your.
Speaker 2: Stereos you'd be able to use one of.
Speaker 1: These this one's ninety nine. Dollars that one's brand new
Speaker 1: just is coming. Out the Whim i'm looking at is
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty. Dollars so AND i have had
Speaker 1: PEOPLE i haven't personally used, this But i've had other
Speaker 1: people that have told me that they, have and they
Speaker 1: wrote in on the show and they said they love.
Speaker 1: It so the other option is A. Sonos they used
Speaker 1: to make a device that would allow you to connect
Speaker 1: old school, systems AND i don't know if they do that.
Speaker 1: Anymore let's see if they still make those. Components let's. See,
Speaker 1: okay they. Do so they've got what's called THE poor
Speaker 1: which is The Network Audio, streamer and so that's a
Speaker 1: similar product to WHAT i was just talking about From,
Speaker 1: sonos and that will connect your stereo system into The sonos.
Speaker 1: System and so the difference there is that this is
Speaker 1: more for someone who wants to Use sono speakers instead
Speaker 1: of you, know the system that you're talking. About SO
Speaker 1: i probably recommend that that's five hundred, dollars but it's
Speaker 1: just another. Option it, says bring The sono's experience to
Speaker 1: your existing stereo or receiver and enjoy endless possibilities for
Speaker 1: multi room. Listening so you connect this port to your you,
Speaker 1: know traditional audio, equipment and then you stream all that
Speaker 1: stuff to Your sono. Speaker so that's if you're going
Speaker 1: to go The sonos. Route but, again as you can See,
Speaker 1: howard there are so many ways to do, this BUT
Speaker 1: i think what you want to do is probably check
Speaker 1: out the whim, first see if that's going to do.
Speaker 1: It if, not if you want to take a chance
Speaker 1: on this new thing From, sweden you can then check
Speaker 1: out this, uh you, know this stream player and see
Speaker 1: if that does what you. Need i'm trying to look
Speaker 1: and see what the connections are on the back and
Speaker 1: let's see IF i can see this. Thing, yeah SINCE
Speaker 1: i haven't really tested it just, YET i can't give
Speaker 1: you all the, details but it looks like just off
Speaker 1: the top of my head here the whim has much
Speaker 1: more connection, options whereas the stream player has just that
Speaker 1: three point five millimeter analog and it says.
Speaker 2: Output so there you, go. Easy. Easy the other thing
Speaker 2: you can, do by the, way you can.
Speaker 1: UPLOAD i don't know why nobody knows, this but you
Speaker 1: can literally go to music dot YouTube dot. Com ANY
Speaker 1: mp three's or music that you, have you can just
Speaker 1: drag onto that page and it will put them into
Speaker 1: a cloud. Library AND i don't, think as far AS i,
Speaker 1: Know google makes any judgments on where these files came.
Speaker 1: From but once you have them in that music dot
Speaker 1: YouTube dot, com you can download the YouTube music app
Speaker 1: on your phone and now you can play all your
Speaker 1: music from the.
Speaker 2: Cloud it's so.

Speaker 1: nevada and NOW i need to Say. Nevada, No. NEVADA
Speaker 1: i got it. Backwards nevada is the right, pronunciation?
Speaker 12: Correct, okay got?
Speaker 3: It all?
Speaker 1: Right, well says we can't figure that. Out let's get
Speaker 1: to your. Question maybe we could figure that.
Speaker 12: Out, well it's it's a quick question for. You the
Speaker 12: best ADVICE i got from your predecessor was AFTER i,
Speaker 12: RETIRED i didn't need a computer, anymore a desktop or a,
Speaker 12: laptop and he pointed me towards get A. Chromebook and
Speaker 12: it has been absolutely done EVERYTHING i needed it to.
Speaker 12: DO i, MEAN i didn't have to do any high
Speaker 12: powered spreadsheets or presentations or anything like. That my question
Speaker 12: is is there a lifespan on The. CHROMEBOOK i seem
Speaker 12: to recall somebody saying something.
Speaker 1: About that there, is and you can check so on Your.
Speaker 1: Yeah So google actually extended The chromebook. Updates so the
Speaker 1: way they do this is they support it with, updates,
Speaker 1: right and you already know that The chromebook in, general you,
Speaker 1: know they're not as high powered as you know your
Speaker 1: typical laptops out. There but what they do is they're
Speaker 1: very secure and they stay safe because there's really no.
Speaker 1: Virus there's ACTUALLY i don't think there's Any you can't
Speaker 1: get a virus on A. Chromebook and the software updates are.
Speaker 1: Automatic they're in the, background so there's no lengthy software
Speaker 1: updates like. This Whole windows, ten you log On windows
Speaker 1: eleven and it's, like, hey can you do you mind
Speaker 1: restarting your. Computer now they tell you how many minutes
Speaker 1: it's gonna, take which is, nice but you, know it
Speaker 1: used to be, like, OH i don't really want to
Speaker 1: restart my computer BECAUSE i have no idea how long
Speaker 1: it's going to take for this computer to come back to.
Speaker 1: Life and the other, day by the, WAY i restarted
Speaker 1: a computer at. Work it just, died like straight up
Speaker 1: died while it was. Restarting AND i was, like wait.
Speaker 1: This i'm like looking around for the hidden. Camera i'm,
Speaker 1: like did this really just happen to? Me and sure
Speaker 1: ENOUGH i had to call the, engineers which is embarrassing
Speaker 1: for a tech, guy, Right and that was, like, wait
Speaker 1: AM i right in? This like, yeah this thing literally
Speaker 1: died while it was. Restarting so, ANYWAY i tell you
Speaker 1: all that because there are a couple things to. Know Number,
Speaker 1: one chromebooks are good for ten years of automatic. Updates,
Speaker 1: okay so when you get A, chromebook it will last
Speaker 1: for ten, years, safety security, wise all that kind of. Stuff,
Speaker 1: NOW i can't say that the physical chromebook is going
Speaker 1: to last for ten years if you knock it around or.
Speaker 1: Whatever and also the speed of The, chromebook you, KNOW
Speaker 1: i can't guarantee it's gonna be perfect after ten, years
Speaker 1: but they do support them for ten years. Now if
Speaker 1: you've got a device prior to twenty twenty, one they
Speaker 1: will still get extended, updates but not every feature will be.
Speaker 1: Supported So google is really pushing a lot of THESE
Speaker 1: ai features. Lately if you have an Older, chromebook it
Speaker 1: may still get all the security, updates it may not
Speaker 1: get all of the LATEST ai. Updates so just understand
Speaker 1: that whatever you, buy when you get your Your, chromebook
Speaker 1: it gets ten years of automatic. Updates And i'm guessing
Speaker 1: that is from the time that The chromebook is, made
Speaker 1: not when you buy. It, right if you buy A
Speaker 1: chromebook that's three years, old you're not going to still
Speaker 1: get ten.
Speaker 2: Years so here's how you.
Speaker 4: Check.
Speaker 2: John this is where you go on Your chromebook near the.
Speaker 2: Time you will see.
Speaker 1: Settings, okay so you go to settings and then About
Speaker 1: CHROME os and then once you go, there you Tap
Speaker 1: Additional details and in the update schedule section you will
Speaker 1: see when Your chromebook will receive its last. Update its
Speaker 1: kind of its final resting, update so it tells you
Speaker 1: the end. Date it's kind of, sad tells you when
Speaker 1: This chromebook will. Die so it's not going to die
Speaker 1: on that, day it's just not going to get any
Speaker 1: more updates after that. Time so, again settings About Chrome
Speaker 1: os additional details in the update schedule. Section look at
Speaker 1: when you'll see Your chromebook will get its final. Update
Speaker 1: so if you have A, chromebook that's probably something good
Speaker 1: to check because that will help you plan for a New.
Speaker 1: Chromebook that, way you're not you, know struggling or scrambling
Speaker 1: to get a New chromebook right off the bat as
Speaker 1: soon as you need. It, Okay so that's a great, Question.
Speaker 1: JOHN i know you said it was a simple, question
Speaker 1: but that was a good. Question thanks for the call
Speaker 1: today From let's see IF i can get it Right.
Speaker 1: Nevada DID i get it?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 2: Tanner? YES i.
Speaker 1: Did, okay this is a big. Story if you're like
Speaker 1: me back in the, day you always bought. Memory if
Speaker 1: you're a computer you know extra. Well, micron one of
Speaker 1: the companies that makes a lot of, it is shutting.
Speaker 1: Down it's crucial consumer. Business after nearly thirty, years you've
Speaker 1: probably bought crucial ram if you are building a computer or.
Speaker 1: Whatever they are exiting the consumer side of. Business they're
Speaker 1: going to continue shipping stuff through the end Of february
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, six they will still honor their warranty for existing,
Speaker 1: products and they're still going to sell stuff to enterprise.
Speaker 1: Customers they, SAY ai is just is just too. Much
Speaker 1: they can't deal with the demand for their enterprise, customers
Speaker 1: so they got to cut off the, standard you, know regular.
Speaker 1: Consumer So crucial has been around for twenty nine. YEARS
Speaker 1: i think that anyone who's ever built a computer or
Speaker 1: upgraded their hard their system has looked At. Crucial AND
Speaker 1: i think the other big player is let's see, Here Crucial.
Speaker 1: MEMORY i think it's PM, y, right unless there's one
Speaker 1: That i'm Forgetting, Kingston, Okay kingston's, Big so, YEAH i
Speaker 1: mean it's that's a that's the end of an.

Speaker 1: for three years.
Speaker 3: Now she is just.
Speaker 1: Wild next year will be the start of the fourth
Speaker 1: year of this. Show just how did it go so?
Speaker 1: Fast how did this year go so? Fast it's already
Speaker 1: gonna be twenty twenty. SIX i don't want to rush it.
Speaker 1: Though we still have a lot of holidays to get.
Speaker 1: Through Luke aragoni is a founder AND ceo Of Low.
Speaker 1: Tai here to talk about a very popular, topic all
Speaker 1: these deep fakes you're. SEEING i mean when That sora
Speaker 1: app came, out it was like game, over game, over
Speaker 1: you can't believe your eyes. Anymore, luke thanks for joining me.
Speaker 13: Be, Here thanks for having.
Speaker 2: Me so tell me what does LO t? Do number?
Speaker 13: One so we try to find you everywhere online and
Speaker 13: try to remove all the stuff where you don't. Belong
Speaker 13: that includes things like deep fakes or for a lot
Speaker 13: of our public figure, clients things like impersonators or false.
Speaker 4: Endorsements oh.
Speaker 1: Interesting so when people, okay CAUSE i get these emails
Speaker 1: from people they, say, Hey George clooney is endorsing this
Speaker 1: new you know cryptos, App like SHOULD i do?
Speaker 2: That And i'm, like, wait why Would George?
Speaker 1: CLOONEY i, mean, now crazier things have, happened you, know
Speaker 1: celebrities have endorsed these kind of, Things AND i GUESS
Speaker 1: i guess that's what they're praying, upon is, that like
Speaker 1: we don't know what these celebrities are doing most of the, time,
Speaker 1: Right like you just see them and you're, like, okay, Cool,
Speaker 1: no that's.
Speaker 13: It and then we talk to those celebrity teams and
Speaker 13: they tell us what they are and aren't. Doing so
Speaker 13: when we see something pop up like that And George
Speaker 13: clooney is supporting some kind of new bitcoin scheme and
Speaker 13: it's not something they're actually, supporting and we'll go ahead
Speaker 13: and issue takedowns across the web on.
Speaker 1: It and who's behind these? Things like who where does
Speaker 1: this money? Go like where do who is behind that?
Speaker 1: Ad because like how do they even get a fake
Speaker 1: ad Onto facebook Or instagram or.
Speaker 2: Whatever so that's kind of the interesting, part.
Speaker 13: Right it's the scams that are run or like industrialized
Speaker 13: now those entire team of people dedicated to making. Them
Speaker 13: so where they're at it is very scattered, geographically but
Speaker 13: how they make them is really. Concentrated with one new favorite,
Speaker 13: tool which IS. Ai it's with tools Like sora and,
Speaker 13: others it's much easier to create realistic, looking like high
Speaker 13: fidelity recreations of people looking and sounding like these people endorsing,
Speaker 13: products which.
Speaker 1: Is wild because When sora, too which is owned by Open,
Speaker 1: ai makers of Chat, ebt when that came, out the
Speaker 1: wild thing to me is that you are basically giving
Speaker 1: your own image to make a deep fake of. Yourself
Speaker 1: like it's, like, hey can we scan your face and
Speaker 1: also say a couple words on camera and now we've
Speaker 1: captured your likeness and now you can make fun videos
Speaker 1: of yourself doing whatever you know within. Reason what did
Speaker 1: you think when you saw?
Speaker 13: THAT i thought there is going to be a lot
Speaker 13: more misuse on the way that things were set. UP
Speaker 13: i was so easy to tend to be someone that
Speaker 13: you weren't on their first version that came, out and
Speaker 13: even today there's a lot of holes in. It and
Speaker 13: so largely WHEN i saw, IT i was, like, oh
Speaker 13: there's going to be another kind of round of deep
Speaker 13: fakes that, appear and you, know no doubt that's exactly
Speaker 13: what has.
Speaker 1: HAPPENED i, mean, so what do you think about people
Speaker 1: putting in their information to this This sora number? One like,
Speaker 1: there you, know if you're not a, celebrity, right LIKE i,
Speaker 1: mean if you're just like a regular, Person you're, Like,
Speaker 1: okay what DO i have to, lose Like i'll JUST
Speaker 1: i want to see myself on a roller. COASTER i
Speaker 1: want to see myself meeting you, know the president of.
Speaker 1: Whatever you, know, like is there a problem there or
Speaker 1: is it just the celebrities have to be.
Speaker 13: Concerned, well what we do when we talk to you,
Speaker 13: know open ay team and, others we really promote a
Speaker 13: third party as someone that can monitor and have control
Speaker 13: over it so you can revoke it at any. Time
Speaker 13: but right, now the way it's set, up it's even
Speaker 13: if you're just you, know the average show like me
Speaker 13: or you and we're going, on we just want to
Speaker 13: put it into the system to have some funny video
Speaker 13: made of. Us you're turning over a lot of biometric
Speaker 13: data that is going to be very, hard maybe even
Speaker 13: impossible to ever get. Back so you, know we we
Speaker 13: of course have this really strong narrative around someone else
Speaker 13: should be the one that monitors it so you can
Speaker 13: put it in and pull it out of the market
Speaker 13: whenever you. Want and then then you bring that thing
Speaker 13: that kind of connect your third party to an OPEN
Speaker 13: ai type. Platform but the whole thing that we want
Speaker 13: is just more control over. It SO i would caution,
Speaker 13: everyone you know it doesn't matter if you're going to
Speaker 13: get famous or. Not, maybe you, know giving all of
Speaker 13: your what you sound like and look, like your likeness
Speaker 13: to a startup may not be the most ideal scenario
Speaker 13: to begin.
Speaker 2: With oh too late for, ME.
Speaker 13: I will, say it's not the end of the, world
Speaker 13: and there's not a ton of harm if that's not
Speaker 13: as big of a. Deal but for for some, people you,
Speaker 13: know you know that are very mindful of, it it
Speaker 13: is a pretty onerous type, System like you're giving up
Speaker 13: a lot of rights for.
Speaker 2: It, well and that's the other.
Speaker 1: Thing so if you are a, celebrity you know you
Speaker 1: have a lot to lose because of you, know it's
Speaker 1: seeing them doing something or saying something or endorsing. Something you,
Speaker 1: know there's money at, stake there's reputation at. Stake so
Speaker 1: you mostly work with public figures on your. Website how
Speaker 1: do you go about like finding what is being posted about?
Speaker 1: Them like how do you scan like the web to
Speaker 1: see if there's like likeness of.
Speaker 12: Them we have a.
Speaker 13: Superpower we can download the internet every night and then
Speaker 13: we run through things like face recognition and voice recognition
Speaker 13: to find our clients and all of. It so we
Speaker 13: spend like a million dollars a month ON. GPUs an
Speaker 13: enormous amount of resources are spent to try and figure
Speaker 13: out how we find everyone. Everywhere but the main part
Speaker 13: of it is using these kinds of, identifiers these biometric
Speaker 13: identifiers say, oh that's my, client and whether you're famous
Speaker 13: or not, famous we have clients of all walks of.
Speaker 13: Life we still can say they don't belong in this,
Speaker 13: spot and so we issue the takedown from.
Speaker 1: There oh, Wait i'm looking here on your. Website low
Speaker 1: uh low t L o t ai wait L o
Speaker 1: t i ai dot. Com and this says likeness protection for.
Speaker 1: All this says the everyone, Plans so tell me about.
Speaker 2: That that's for like.
Speaker 13: Anyone, yeah so anyone could sign up and there's a
Speaker 13: free tier so you just you, know kind of see
Speaker 13: what's out there of you and you can do five
Speaker 13: takedowns a month and it's free. Forever on. That we're
Speaker 13: trying to basically deliver this privacy type tool as a,
Speaker 13: freemium trying to set the standard of The internet of
Speaker 13: you should be able to find. Yourself you should be
Speaker 13: able to like load to yourself anywhere on the, web
Speaker 13: pull back the stuff and if it's bad things that
Speaker 13: shouldn't be out. There you should be able to click
Speaker 13: the delete button a few times every month to make
Speaker 13: sure things are.
Speaker 1: Gone so this is almost, like oh my, gosh all
Speaker 1: those services that take your private information off the, web you,
Speaker 1: know they scan all those people finder sites and things like.
Speaker 1: That this is almost THE ai equivalent of, that for
Speaker 1: like your actual you, know physical.
Speaker 13: Likeness, yeah so it makes a deep fake of, you
Speaker 13: or someone uploads a picture of you from high school
Speaker 13: and they don't know how to tag. You some ancient
Speaker 13: thing is out. There your dentist has a picture of
Speaker 13: you on this. Website it's been twenty years since you've been.
Speaker 13: There whatever it might. Be it could be anything from
Speaker 13: curiosity to you, know some kind of malignant use of your.
Speaker 13: Likeness but in either, way, well we'll find all of
Speaker 13: them and take them, down including things that are more
Speaker 13: nefarious like hidden cameras and things like. That we can
Speaker 13: remove that content as.
Speaker 2: Well, wow that's.
Speaker 1: Incredible so tell me about the legality of all, this you,
Speaker 1: know are? There you, know people have been talking about
Speaker 1: rules and regulations FOR.
Speaker 2: Ai is any of that? Happening is it in the?
Speaker 2: Works like where do we stand with?
Speaker 4: That?
Speaker 13: Yeah, Well we had a really big win for the
Speaker 13: privacy sector with The Take It Down act during probably
Speaker 13: the first quarter the start of the second quarter this,
Speaker 13: year which was if there's any kind of explicit material
Speaker 13: of you, ONLINE i have a lot more tools AS
Speaker 13: lowdi to be able to go and delete. Them so
Speaker 13: that was a huge. One and then we have no
Speaker 13: fakes coming out next. Year likely it's going to pass
Speaker 13: the next couple of, months and that allows me to,
Speaker 13: say if there's a deep fake of you of any,
Speaker 13: kind whether it be you, know, nefarious explicit or, otherwise
Speaker 13: if it's not, authorized If rich did, it say this is,
Speaker 13: okay Then i'm allowed to go and delete that as.
Speaker 13: Well so there's a couple of really great laws that
Speaker 13: are coming down that are helping us do that delete. Portion,
Speaker 13: Uh i'm very excited.
Speaker 1: About and you said you work with some of these
Speaker 1: companies like the open A eyes of The. World you
Speaker 1: got to talk to them and your you, know in
Speaker 1: your course of, business how are they about all this
Speaker 1: stuff because they want to move this forward AND i
Speaker 1: don't think that they're evil at these, places like they
Speaker 1: just want to use technology and new and different and fun,
Speaker 1: ways and you, know some of it of, course can
Speaker 1: be used in bad. Ways so where do they stand
Speaker 1: on all this? Stuff like do they want to have
Speaker 1: THESE i, MEAN i know they don't want to necessarily
Speaker 1: have all the regulations in, place but they do want
Speaker 1: to have guardrails and. Guidelines i'm guessing.
Speaker 13: Right, Yeah, well this is where there's a real good
Speaker 13: meeting of the, minds which is, Myself OPEN. Ai you,
Speaker 13: Know hollywood in. General everyone is excited about the potential
Speaker 13: THAT ai brings to. Us it's a new kind of, paintbrush,
Speaker 13: Right it's we don't want it to be the. Artist
Speaker 13: we don't want to tell the whole story because they're
Speaker 13: all typically very. Lame if you HAVE ai do all
Speaker 13: the real creative. Work but it's a new way to
Speaker 13: tell a very big story in a more effective. Way
Speaker 13: and so with that, lens when we talk to OPEN
Speaker 13: ai and, others we all share a common goal of
Speaker 13: what's the easiest way to get what's the easiest and
Speaker 13: safest way to get talent INTO. Ai and while you,
Speaker 13: know we we go back and forth over what those
Speaker 13: strategies might, BE i think everyone is really aligned on
Speaker 13: one common, goal which is this is a new, tool
Speaker 13: and there's people that want to tell new stories with.
Speaker 13: It let's figure out the, safest easiest.
Speaker 10: Way to get that.
Speaker 2: Done what about THAT ai actress Like tilly or. Something
Speaker 2: would would you think would sell?
Speaker 13: That nor WOULD i think it was the name of?
Speaker 4: It?
Speaker 13: Right that presents a completely different problem because it's it's
Speaker 13: and basically you have this competitive entrant into a, market
Speaker 13: and that is something that we actually have to talk
Speaker 13: about something totally, different which is the apprenticeship program in
Speaker 13: The United.
Speaker 2: States it's think about it this.
Speaker 13: Way when you started off and you're interviewing people and
Speaker 13: starting out in your career in journalism and radio AND,
Speaker 13: tv you probably were not the. Best you have to get.
Speaker 2: Good at, it, right sucked at that.
Speaker 13: POINT i Mean i'm sure you were always, great, right
Speaker 13: but at some point you had to like learn and
Speaker 13: it would have sucked at that point if you had
Speaker 13: to compete with like AN ai version that was one
Speaker 13: hundred times cheaper than.
Speaker 4: You oh.
Speaker 13: Right you need to have some kind of like protective
Speaker 13: layer where people can be bad to start so they
Speaker 13: can get, good because the good humans are much better THAN.
Speaker 13: Ai but if we necap the ability to let the
Speaker 13: people get good by saying there's These tilly norwoods that'll
Speaker 13: compete with starting.
Speaker 10: You, know actors or.
Speaker 13: Actresses we do have a real compelling problem we have
Speaker 13: to think, about which, is how does anyone find their
Speaker 13: way to mastery if early on they have to compete
Speaker 13: with free ish.
Speaker 1: Ai oh my, gosh that is such a good. Thought
Speaker 1: we're gonna leave it. There Luke, aragoni founder AND ceo
