Embracing our new lives at home 3 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,600 Speaker 1: due to coronavirus, plus your tech questions answered. What's going on? 4 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: I'm Rich Damiro and this is Rich on Tech, the 5 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: podcast where I talk about the tech stuff I think 6 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: you should know about and I answer the questions that 7 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: you send me. My name is Rich Dmiro, tech reporter 8 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. Joining me is 9 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: producer Megan. How's it going? Let me bring this down 10 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: and bring you up? 11 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 2: Hello, you know it's going. 12 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 3: This is an interesting new normal that we're all just 13 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 3: you know, adjusting to. 14 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, kind of crazy. I'm in my home, Megan is 15 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: in her home trying to do this. We're also Facebook 16 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: living this, so we are saying hello to everyone that's 17 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: listening on Facebook Live that or I should say, watching 18 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: on Facebook Live. And of course I just heard the 19 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: little comments. So every time someone does one of those 20 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: little like thumbs up, you hear it on the show anyway, 21 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: So that's fun. Yeah, there it goes again. So I 22 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: got to figure out how to get that off anyway. Oh, 23 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: mute sound effects. There we go. So, how are you adjusting. 24 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: We are working halfway from the station, halfway home. It's 25 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: very interesting for sure. Oh no, they're still there. And 26 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: I don't know what to say. I mean, I've got 27 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: my kids at home, I've got my wife at home, 28 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: and it's pretty wild. It's like a very different experience. 29 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I feel like every day it's changing. We're 30 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 3: just like, you know, it's just all so crazy. 31 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is crazy. And your whole family home, I'm 32 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: guessing as well, Yes they are. And then so you know, 33 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: and now California is on this crazy like shutdown. So 34 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: we were watching that on TV yesterday. I mean, it's 35 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: just every day it seems like something else changes. Let's 36 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: get to the first story. New MacBook Air. So I 37 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: know that tech news has taken sort of a backseat 38 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: to you know, this crazy virus that is, you know, 39 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: making its way through all of the world. But there 40 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: was some tech news this week and Apple released a 41 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: new MacBook Air. Now, normally we'd go up to Cooper 42 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: Tino for a big event and you would, you know, 43 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: have Tim Cook up on stage. None of that happened 44 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: because guess what, we're in crazy time. So they just 45 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: put out a press release. They put out the MacBook 46 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: Air and it's now ninety nine dollars, so got a 47 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 1: one hundred dollars price cut, it got two times of performance, 48 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: a new keyboard, and twice the storage. So that's the headline, 49 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: and realistically, I think they did a great job of 50 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: making this a computer that is now very desirable for 51 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: a student or a college student, because that price point 52 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: is nine ninety nine, which one hundred dollars cheaper than before. 53 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: Before it was eleven hundred. And the reality is anything 54 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: over one thousand, mentally is really tough to comprehend, and 55 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: so nine ninety nine is just a nice magic number, right, 56 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: That's why everything is ninety nine cents, you know, three 57 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: ninety nine. But if you're a student, you can actually 58 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: get this for eight ninety nine, so nine hundred bucks, 59 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: and I get it. That's way more expensive than like 60 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: your typical five hundred dollars Windows computer, but you're getting 61 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: a Mac and it's really nice magic keyboard, which means 62 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: the keyboard is going to be way better than before. 63 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: It's the keyboard that I use on my current MacBook Pro, 64 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: which is the Magic keyboard, and it's really good. And 65 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: it also has double storage, so two hundred and fifty 66 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: six versus one twenty eight. And I think that's all 67 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: you need to know about it. So there you have it, 68 00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: all right, Producer Megan, it is time for your first question. 69 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 3: Okay, So our first question comes from Claudia Hi Rich. 70 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 3: I saw your story about expanded sell and internet service 71 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 3: during the next two months due to COVID nineteen. But 72 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 3: what about security? What should we be looking for to 73 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 3: be safe online? Especially since schools are now online and 74 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 3: most of our activities exercise to shopping are online. How 75 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 3: do we not become a victim during this time of 76 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 3: increased accessibility and increased use. 77 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: Okay, great question, and this is something that I actually 78 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: am working up a story on. But yes, everyone's working 79 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,919 Speaker 1: at home and this company, my Fi, they have some 80 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: executives that I asked this question too because of your 81 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: email and a couple things. Number one tips to secure 82 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: your home network, They say Wi Fi access points. You 83 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: know the SSID like the thing you connect to. They 84 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 1: say to change your settings to hide your SSID. So 85 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: normally in your house at broadcasts, if you go on 86 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: your phone and you look at all the kind of 87 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: networks around you, you can see all your neighbor's networks. 88 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: So of course that's much easier to hack because now 89 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: you can just connect to that network if you can 90 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: figure out the password, and now you're on the network. 91 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: So if you hide that SSID, that means that hackers 92 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: can't see your network. And that doesn't mean they can't 93 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: detect it, but they can't see it, and so that 94 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: makes it a little bit tougher for them. Obviously, you 95 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: want to use Wi Fi Protected Access, so WPA or 96 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: WPA two if you haven't done that. Make sure that 97 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: your password on your Wi Fi network is long and 98 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: random so it can't be cracked. Do not use the 99 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: default password. And this is my favorite. Use a guest 100 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: network because when I have babysitters come to the house, 101 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: I have them connect to the guest network. The reason 102 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: I do that is because they don't have access to 103 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: all of the things on my network, which are the 104 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: smart lights and the computers and the storage, and I 105 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: don't not that I don't trust them, but it's just 106 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: easier also to manage those guests that are on your network. 107 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: So that is my recommendation, as well as the recommendation 108 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: from this company, which is let's see in Sego in 109 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: sego slash my fi and the other thing that a 110 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: lot of people are wondering, do they need a VPN 111 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 1: when they're working at home? Don't necessarily need a VPN. 112 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: If your company requires it, obviously you should be using that, 113 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: and in many cases you can't access your company's files 114 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: unless you're on that VPN. But the reality is for 115 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: just personal stuff, you probably don't need a VPN. So 116 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: good question for our first one of the day. All right, 117 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: let's get to the second story of the day. Apple 118 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: unveils a new iPad pro. 119 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 2: So. 120 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: I told you there was a couple of new products 121 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: out there, and this is Apple, and this is the 122 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: iPad pro. So iPad pro is obviously, this is going 123 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: to appeal to kind of the business traveler, the high 124 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: end folks. Nobody's business traveling right now. But they're making 125 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: this closer and closer to a good laptop replacement. And 126 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 1: I think they're doing a really nice job because the 127 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: main headline of the iPad pro is that it now 128 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: has a trackpad support. So now that the keyboard cover 129 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: has a little trackpad, you know, a little thing you 130 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: put your fingers on and move them around. And I 131 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: think that's really crazy because Apple always said like, we 132 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: would never do that. But of course they've they backtracked 133 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: on the whole stylus thing. Now they're backtracking on the 134 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: track pad thing. But the bottom line on the iPad 135 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: Pro is that it has a new chip that's faster. 136 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: They say it's faster than most Windows PC laptops out 137 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: quite the burn there. It's got an ultra wide camera 138 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: and studio quality mic. So, Megan, if we got these, 139 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: we can convince Katla to get us these iPad pros. 140 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: We can just record our podcast without any external equipment. 141 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: All we need is the iPad Wow, and how cool 142 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: will that be? So the microphone built in, they're saying, 143 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: is as good as your studio quality mic that you 144 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: have right now. It also has LDAR, which is it's 145 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: kind of like a a did you hear that? Yeah? 146 00:07:59,120 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 2: Was that you? 147 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: Yeah? That's y U great, that's that's my family. We 148 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: have this giant group chat on Telegram. And when my 149 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: family starts chatting, oh boy do they chat. They will 150 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: chat four hours. It's basically a twenty four to seven chat. 151 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: So I just muted that one and the lightar on 152 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: the back side of the iPad gives you new augmented 153 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: reality possibilities. Now, if you're thinking of getting one of 154 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: these iPad pros and thinking that you might replace your 155 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: laptop with it, well it's not cheap. The base configuration 156 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: is an eleven inch for eight hundred bucks, and that 157 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,719 Speaker 1: has one hundred and twenty eight gigs of storage. Then 158 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 1: you go up to the twelve point nine inch model, 159 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: which is a really nice size for a iPad. That's 160 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: one thousand bucks. Then then, by the way, Megan, you 161 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: still have to get the keyboard, so the Magic keyboard 162 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: is three hundred to three point fifty. Then after you 163 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: get the keyboard, you still have to get the iPad 164 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: pencil or the Apple pencil. That's another one hundred and 165 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: twenty nine. So let's do the math real quick. You 166 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: were good at math, right, So add this up for 167 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: me ready eight hundred.

A lot of you 247 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: been emailing me.

Well that's yeah typical. 252 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty standard. But it says body armor, so 253 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: it looks like I'm having something healthy. No, I'm just kidding. 254 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: It's actually just water. It's just water. But this water 255 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: bottle is unique because it's really meant for like athletes 256 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: because look at that wide opening, so you can like 257 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: really get like a lot of water at once. So 258 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 1: it's like it's like really to quench your thirst. And 259 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: I've literally done minimal workouts since I've been stranded here. 260 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 2: I don't believe that. 261 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 1: Well, okay, that's that's I did. I actually did the 262 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: the Planet Fitness online workout that they're doing their live 263 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: streaming at like seven pm every day, So I put 264 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: up YouTube and like I just did the workout just 265 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:52,959 Speaker 1: to try it out. So We're going to do a 266 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: story on all these fitness companies that are doing at 267 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: home workouts. It was great and it wasn't really hard, 268 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: but it was great. And then today I'll probably go 269 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: for a run. But the Planet Fitness people were telling 270 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: me that they actually have tanning beds in their gyms. 271 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: So they were like, oh, Planet Fitness sucks because they 272 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: have tanning beds, which I had to look up, which 273 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: I think is kind of odd in today's day and 274 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: age for like, you know, you know all this stuff 275 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: about tanning. I mean, you went through the tanning face, 276 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: what you went through your tanning bed face? But you've 277 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: given that up, right, I've. 278 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 3: Never I've never done it. 279 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: You've never done that. I'll advance actually did it once. 280 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: I did it once, and it was when I when 281 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: I first started at KTLA. I moved from oh no, 282 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: sorry k Cal, I think it was, and I moved 283 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: from like the middle of nowhere, and I felt like 284 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: I didn't fit in in LA without a tan and 285 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: so actually I actually went once and it was like 286 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: the most humiliating experience. I never did it again. But 287 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: now they just now. 288 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 4: I realize, well now I realized they just give you 289 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 4: the you know, the bronzer, Yeah, the bronze or whatever, 290 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 4: and they can do whatever they want in the makeup room. 291 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: You know, it's right.

The bike that you you ordered? 336 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: The bike that I ordered was the Bowflex C six, 337 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 1: And I also noticed they raise the price on it, 338 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: so demand must be so high that they actually up 339 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: the price by fifty bucks. So when I ordered it, it 340 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: was eight ninety nine. Now it's nine hundred and fifty dollars, 341 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: so oh WOWK Peloton, you can use the Peloton app. 342 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: They're giving that free for thirty days or for ninety days. 343 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: Normally it's thirty, it's ninety. Then there's an app called 344 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: Caribou cr Ibu. This lets you connect your kids on 345 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: a virtual plate eate so you can connect this with 346 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: grandma and you can read a book across the app, 347 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: so it's kind of like FaceTime, but you can read 348 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: a book. So talk about that for a second, Meggan, 349 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna clear my throat here, so give your 350 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: thoughts on that. 351 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 3: I think that's so cute that you can like read 352 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 3: a book with your grandma or your aunt or your uncle. 353 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 2: I love that. 354 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 3: Are your kids using that. 355 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 2: Are you still clearing it? 356 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: They are not. They have not used it, but I 357 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: may try it. The problem is getting your kids. Getting 358 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: grandma to install that app is probably the biggest challenge. 359 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 1: But the mark on the Facebook chat says, what was 360 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: the new website for Rich? I Eventually it'll just still 361 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: be rich on tech dot tv, but it'll bring you 362 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 1: to this other website. But just go to links dot 363 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: rich on tech dot tv and that should bring you 364 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: to the new site. It's pretty cool, so just I 365 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 1: mean it should some people. Here's the problem with the website. 366 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: If you went to my old website and you try 367 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: to go to rich on tech dot tv, it's currently 368 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 1: giving you an error because your browser is thinking it's 369 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: not finding the redirect. But if you're new and you've 370 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:36,959 Speaker 1: never been to my website and you go to rich 371 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: on tech dot tv, it should work and bring you 372 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: to the new one. But if you just go to 373 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: links dot rich on tech dot tv, that's working all right. 374 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: The other thing is kina do k I n E edu. 375 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: This one's really good. If you have really little kids 376 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: under four, you type in their age and all their 377 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: stuff and their day to birth and it will give 378 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: you activities for them daily, which is kind of cool. 379 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 1: Sling TV is encouraging folks to stay and sling. This 380 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: is kind of like their Netflix and Chill. You can 381 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: actually watch a whole bunch of stuff on their website 382 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: without logging in or signing up. It's watch dot sling 383 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: dot com and no sign up, really easy Headspace. They're 384 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 1: giving their meditation app free to any teacher in the 385 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: US and healthcare professionals. And we actually messed up a 386 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 1: little bit about Megan with our tags today. With our wraps, 387 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: we mentioned the healthcare professionals only, and I actually kind 388 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: of got that wrong. It's all teachers as well. So 389 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 1: if you have a teacher or a school administrator or 390 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: any support staff in the US, if you work at 391 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: a school, you basically get Headspace for free. And I 392 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 1: would say one hundred percent get that because I like that. 393 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: And yes, Courtney recommends clear cash and cookies and then 394 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: rich on tech dot tv will work. I tried that 395 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: on my computer. It's still not working. I think I 396 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: have to do a full reset on my browser. Apple 397 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: News Plus not necessarily anything special for the free trial. 398 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: Well it's just a month, but they have all kinds 399 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: of magazines, and I would say, if you have never 400 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: done one of the Apple News Plus subscriptions for free, 401 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: take advantage right now. Thirty days is amazing. So that's 402 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: pretty good. And then Go Noodle has some free stuff 403 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 1: as well. We've featured one of their things. But the 404 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: Sling TV experience is really cool. It's the real deal. 405 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not bad at all. Molin says, I 406 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: am a teacher. Can you type in the link? Yes? 407 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: Let me see if I can do this. So let's 408 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: go to links dot rich On. I had like a 409 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,919 Speaker 1: little tiny browser and it's not working. So here, I 410 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: think I can actually go in here and type stuff. 411 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: So I think I can comment if I comment here, 412 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 1: if I add a comment, boom, Let's see if that works. 413 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: Did that work? 414 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 2: Oh? 415 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 1: I can add things to the broadcast too, which is 416 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 1: kind of cool. So oh, I forgot that I can 417 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: actually do this. Watch this, Megan, Are you watching the broadcast? 418 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm watching on my phone. It's just it's delayed 419 00:20:59,640 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 3: for me. 420 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: See that now it's gonna It's got that. I forgot 421 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: that I can do this. This is actually part of 422 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: the most fun thing. So if you go to there 423 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: and then click on the first story, it will have it. 424 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 1: I have like one hundred thousand windows open right now, 425 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: so it's tough for me to do anything. But I 426 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: think it's working. I mean I think people are there. 427 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 2: It loaded on my phone. 428 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 1: Okay, perfect, Okay, you know what that sound means. And 429 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: if you guys type in the wittiest comments, I'll start 430 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: putting them on screen too. So do we lose Megan though? 431 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: Oh no, we lost you and I did that there 432 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: were You're back? 433 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 2: Okay, I'm back, yep, okay. 434 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 3: This next question comes from Cynthia. I have several old 435 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 3: computer laptops that I don't know what to do with. 436 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 3: I seem to recall you. 437 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: Oh, hold on, Megan, it's saying there. It's echoing, So 438 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 1: if you want, I don't know if you're oh I 439 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: see hold on, let me see something. Okay, I think 440 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: uh oh we lost Megan. Okay, echo, echo echo, Okay, 441 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: something happened here when I did that. I don't know 442 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,919 Speaker 1: what happened. Are you you're not on your phone? Is it? 443 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: If you're watching this on somewhere else, maybe just close 444 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: that out? Okay, if you're watching the broadcast, Okay, I 445 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: don't hear an echo about now. I don't hear it, 446 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 1: but I don't know why I have. 447 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 2: Everything off now Okay, should I go ahead? 448 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: Or yeah? Go ahead? 449 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:24,679 Speaker 2: Okay? 450 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 3: This next question comes from Cynthia. I have several old 451 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 3: computer laptops that I don't know what to do with. 452 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 3: I seem to recall a story you covered about recycling 453 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 3: your laptops for seniors, or maybe it was a senior 454 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 3: recycling laptops for others. I'm concerned about data on these 455 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 3: laptops being stolen or something like that. What would you recommend? 456 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 1: Okay, so this is a yeah, I think. I think 457 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,239 Speaker 1: what happened was the when I did the scene. When 458 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: I changed the scene, it messed up. Okay. Uh So 459 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: the question is you have an old laptop, what do 460 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 1: you do? And the reality is when you get rid 461 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 1: of an old computer, you want to be really careful 462 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: with that because you know someone can get the data 463 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: off that computer if you don't dispose of it in 464 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,640 Speaker 1: a good way. So the number one thing I talked 465 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: about is to if you go to Best Buy, they 466 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 1: will actually recycle your computers for free. And this is 467 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: something they do nationwide and I have not personally brought 468 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: something there. To get recycled. But you kind of have 469 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: to trust them. They have on their website if you 470 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: go to best Buy Recycling, they do have a way 471 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: to They do have some like instructions on how to 472 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: wipe the data from your hard drive, and I'm going 473 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: to look at that right now. So wiping your hard 474 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: drive is an advanced procedure. If you don't feel comfortable 475 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: doing it, you can schedule an appointment to bring your 476 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: computer into a Best Buy and have a geek squad 477 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,719 Speaker 1: agent handle the process. Now I don't know if they 478 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: charge for that process. But the problem is now most 479 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: of the new programs like the Max and the Windows 480 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: computers have this built in, but the average person's not 481 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: going to want to do this themselves. So my idea 482 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: is you either have to trust them to do it themselves, 483 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: or you can find a geek that you know, like 484 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: a nerd, that can help you do that. But what 485 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 1: I've done in the past is I've actually taken the 486 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 1: hard drives out of my computer and I still have 487 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 1: them sitting here in my garage and I kind of 488 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 1: took a hammer to them. You can do that, but again, 489 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: this is the main thing. Now, I will tell you 490 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: I did bring my mom's computer to Staples. They will 491 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: also recycle stuff, and they say that they will take 492 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 1: care of it. They do say that they will get 493 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: rid of the stuff on the hard drive buy themself, 494 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 1: you know, in a responsible manner, and realistically, if you 495 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: have kids, I say kids, because usually the geek squad people, 496 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: you know, some of them are probably young. Hopefully they're 497 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 1: following the instructions and hopefully you can trust them to 498 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 1: bring it in there. If I was running best by, 499 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 1: I would have these best practices in place and say, look, 500 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 1: we don't go in and we don't unlock people's computers, 501 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 1: and we don't take the hard drive contents, we don't 502 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: go through them. But you never know. I mean, there's 503 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 1: a lot of people out there in America, so you 504 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 1: just never know, hopefully of good people doing that. But 505 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 1: the person specifically that I think she was asking about 506 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: was the Laptop Elf project. And if you google laptop 507 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,719 Speaker 1: Elf project, you'll see the story that we did. Just 508 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: google laptop Elf KTLA and you can see the story 509 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: that we did on this guy in Redondo Beach that 510 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: will happily he's a nerd. He will happily take your 511 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: computer and dispose of it or recycle it or erase it, 512 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: whatever you need to do. So, yeah, it's a good question. Wow, 513 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: I feel like this podcast is really painful because doing 514 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 1: the podcast is one thing. Doing the live is another one. 515 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 1: Because the live is like it's like either you're doing 516 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,959 Speaker 1: a live show or you're doing a podcast. And this 517 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 1: is what I used to do, and this is why 518 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: I kind of went from doing the live to the 519 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,239 Speaker 1: podcast only because live is like a different beast than 520 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: the podcast live. I'm looking at comments, I'm kind of 521 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: like responding, I'm moving a million things in my computer. 522 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 1: But the podcast is the podcast, So you know, look, 523 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: we're all trying to figure this out. You know, we're 524 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: all Corona in here. 525 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 2: Learning experience. 526 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,360 Speaker 1: And since you're inside, I kind of want to mention 527 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: because a lot of people are wondering about this whole 528 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: Wi Fi situation. I know, Megan, you were telling me 529 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: the Wi Fi situation at your home, or as the 530 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: kids say, the Wi Fi sitch is pretty. 531 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 2: Bad and it's really bad. 532 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, everyone is realizing this because number one, you have 533 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 1: a couple of things going on. People are taxing their 534 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 1: Wi Fi systems to the limit. It's like you're using 535 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: more devices than you ever have in your home with 536 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 1: more people, So that's a problem. And then also the 537 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 1: Wi Fi itself, if you're using just the Wi Fi 538 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: router that is given to you by Spectrum or your 539 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: internet provider, it's not going to be very good. And 540 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 1: it's like us, like you, and so so in your 541 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 1: home you have just the Spectrum WiFi router and it's 542 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 1: just it's trying to reach the entire house, right right. 543 00:26:59,560 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 2: Yeah. 544 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 3: But also my dad's computer is plugged into the Internet 545 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 3: and it's not working for him. 546 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: Well it's and that's the other and that's the other side. 547 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: So that's the part B is that Spectrum Internet is 548 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: really being taxed right now across everywhere in Los Angeles. 549 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 1: I mean it's it's it's bad in a lot of places. 550 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: And ours actually was out the other day. There's there's 551 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 1: some sort of outage that a lot of people had 552 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: to deal with as well, including us, and so I 553 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: was scrambling. I told my wife to set up one 554 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: of our phones as a Wi Fi hotspot, and she 555 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: did that. But that's, you know, something to keep in mind. Anyway, 556 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: I say all this because it might be time to 557 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: consider getting one of these new mesh Wi Fi networking systems, 558 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: which I've talked about extensively, and the one that I 559 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 1: use is called Ero, but there's another one called Google 560 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: Nest Wi Fi, and Android Police says it's on sale 561 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: right now for one hundred and ninety nine bucks and 562 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 1: that includes a router and an additional access point and 563 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,719 Speaker 1: the way the way that works. So like, for instance, 564 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 1: in your place, Megan, And remember we talked about this, 565 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: didn't we, And it was a little bit expensive, so 566 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: you weren't ready to drop that money just yet. But 567 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: from one ninety nine and maybe you can expense it, 568 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 1: I mean it might be expensible. 569 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 3: No, I actually wait, so you you think Google Wi Fi. 570 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: Over euro well for one ninety nine and Google Wi 571 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: Fi is fantastic. And so if you have the you 572 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: put the router by your you know, where your internet 573 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: comes in, and you put this little access point somewhere 574 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: else in your house, and it creates a nice network 575 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: that kind of envelopes your entire house in a you know, 576 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: in real nice internet. And I would recommend it anyway. 577 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 1: I would recommend just if you're listening and you're having 578 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: problems with all this stuff, it might be the time 579 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: to kind of look into a new setup. So uh oh, 580 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: I hear doors opening. That could be bad. All right, 581 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: Megan question. 582 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 2: I just asked a question, but I can oh you did. 583 00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I thought I just gave the Wi Fi thing. 584 00:28:59,360 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: Yeah that was the. 585 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 2: Response to the Oh okay, well here's your question. 586 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: I don't remember. Oh no, the laptop thing. That was different. Oh. 587 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: Martha asks, by the way, on the live stream, well, 588 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: wi Fi extenders help, especially with streaming. I don't recommend 589 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: the Wi Fi extenders anymore. We did recommend those a 590 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: couple of years ago. They're just not good anymore. So 591 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: and I'll just do a couple questions here. Courtney Rogers says, 592 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: I've Verizon FiOS. Is fiber optic Internet better for those 593 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: with new Internet challenges? Better for these new Internet challenges. Yes, 594 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: I think that Verizon FiOS would be fantastic. I was 595 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: actually thinking of getting my Internet switched over to I 596 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: can get one gig at and T where I live, 597 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: and I think I might actually do that. And Vanessa says, 598 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 1: what about the Netgear Wi Fi Extender? I would not 599 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: recommend the Netgear extenders anymore at this point, because, yeah, 600 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 1: it's just I think that these mesh networks have really 601 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: done a better job, and mine has actually worked great 602 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: in my house. It's it's, you know, it's it's been 603 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: able to absorb all these new things, but it's still 604 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: there's a limit to this, right, So okay, and let 605 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: me just do one more thing. I know everyone's using 606 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: Zoom and a lot of people are wondering how to 607 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: change your Zoom background. So see if you'd see my 608 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: background right now, I'm in my dining room. It's got 609 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 1: you know, I've got candles behind me and like these 610 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: little weird things that I put up like five years 611 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: ago and I moved in that I should probably change. 612 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: But it's not the best background for like work. But 613 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: the reality is everyone's trying to figure out where they can, 614 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: you know, use a broadcast background for their home, and 615 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: it's tricky sometimes if you don't have a dedicated space 616 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: and so on Zoom, you can change your background to 617 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: something custom and fun. I did a little Facebook video, 618 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: or I did Facebook and Instagram, So find me at 619 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: rich on Tech on Instagram. You can see how you 620 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: do it. But you kind of go into the Zoom 621 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: settings and you choose the virtual background option and you 622 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: can change it to a different background, and you can 623 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: also upload your own background. And apparently that only works 624 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: if you have the Zoom up downloaded. It does not 625 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: work if you are trying to use the Zoom like 626 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: web thing. All right, Megan, you're turning. 627 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 3: This next question comes from Tracy. Hello, please inform me 628 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 3: on the way to shut down callers after you've done 629 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 3: a search for insurance companies. I've gotten dozens of calls 630 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 3: from insurance companies asking if I need insurance help. 631 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: I did the same exact thing. I did a one 632 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: of those quotes from Oh Gosh. I think it was 633 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: policy genius and it was great, and the guy was 634 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 1: very nice, but he kept calling and calling and calling, 635 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 1: and I just every time he called, I would not 636 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: be in a place to like think about life insurance, right, 637 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: I mean, who wants to think about that? Like I'm 638 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: out at the park with my kids and this guy, 639 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: you know, he's like, hey, here's the Zoom. This is 640 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: the official Zoom. And actually a lot of people have 641 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: had trouble because Zoom. It's kind of weird because it 642 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: does not say to download Zoom, Like there's no there's 643 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: no download button on the main website. Which is really odd. 644 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: So that because they want you to run this in 645 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 1: your browser. But here is this is a link to 646 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: the actual zoom. It's Zoom dot us slash download Zoom 647 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: dot us slash download anyway. Uh okay, So the question. 648 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 3: Was what the question was about insurance companies? 649 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, how to block all these calls? So if 650 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 1: you did it from a legitimate company, like a policy genius, 651 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: you can go on their website or simply ask the 652 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: person that's calling you to stop calling, and they will 653 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: do that if you go to one of these other 654 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: See the problem with all these insurance websites that you 655 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: hear advertisements for on the radio and stuff is that 656 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 1: they're mostly aggregator sites, and they are once you put 657 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,479 Speaker 1: in your information, like your phone number, they are pinging 658 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: that out to so many different people and they're all 659 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: calling you. And so that's a little bit tougher to 660 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: kind of manage. But on your phone, on your iPhone, 661 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: you can block callers manually, or you can do something 662 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: like you can go into the iPhone settings and you 663 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: can turn off all of the unknown callers. It'll send 664 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: them directly to voicemail. And that's like kind of something 665 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 1: you probably don't want to do unless you're really getting 666 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 1: a lot of calls, but it's something that's an option. 667 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 1: I thought this was really cool, Megan. You know, we're 668 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: all home and we're all home bound, and we're trying 669 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: to find stuff to watch, and everyone is blasted through 670 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 1: every episode of Love is Blind, and so now they're 671 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: looking for other garbage to watch on Netflix, and there's 672 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: just not that much because they're not producing anymore. Right, 673 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 1: So the trash on Netflix is like is at an 674 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: all time low. It's like a tiny trash heap. Now. 675 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 1: Netflix used to be a giant trash heap. Now it's 676 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 1: just tiny. Do you like how I trash Netflix? 677 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 2: I know what? 678 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 3: And also The Bachelor they had to delay shooting just. 679 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: Because I don't watch it. Just because I don't watch 680 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 1: a lot of Netflix shows. I just like to trash 681 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: them because everyone in the world is watching Netflix, so 682 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: I just like to fine, it's fine, but it's a 683 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: lot of let's be honest, it's a lot of trying 684 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: to hunt for something to watch. And sometimes it's good, 685 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: sometimes it's not very good. But I joke, Netflix is amazing. 686 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: I just don't personally watch a lot of stuff on Netflix, 687 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: you read, I read, I like to read, so, but 688 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 1: I do like to watch movies. And Fandango Now sent 689 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 1: me a little notice that said Pixars Onward is gonna 690 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 1: be available today for streaming, like for buying for twenty bucks. 691 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: Which this just came out in the movie theater three 692 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: weeks ago or two weeks ago, I should say March six, 693 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 1: so two weeks. They're like, look, we know everyone's cooped up, 694 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: they're not going to the movies. We're just gonna let 695 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: you buy this for twenty bucks. Now, twenty dollars rent 696 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 1: to buy a movie sounds like a lot, but not 697 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 1: really when you think about the price of a movie ticket, 698 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: especially if you're bringing kids and popcorn. So I was 699 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 1: already to download Onward tonight for twenty bucks, and then 700 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 1: someone tweeted me and told me that it's actually gonna 701 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 1: be on Disney Plus early in two weeks. Oh no, 702 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,319 Speaker 1: so you're talking it's gonna don't buy it. Well, I 703 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: still feel like twenty bucks is a good deal, but 704 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 1: I get it like right now with the whole economy 705 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,360 Speaker 1: and situation, like I'm kind of like, you know, the 706 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 1: less money spending, the better. But Fandango now is actually 707 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 1: giving everyone twenty percent off movies and TV show transactions 708 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,800 Speaker 1: for the first thirty days if you have a new account, 709 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: So that brings the price down to twenty percent off 710 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: of twenty bucks is four dollars off. That's sixteen dollars. Wow. 711 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 1: So I'm kind of into that anyway. The other movie 712 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 1: I want to watch that also came out early as 713 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,760 Speaker 1: Invisible Man, and we talked about this last week. Remember, 714 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 1: so Ray Anthony says Onward is going to be on 715 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 1: Disney Plus on April third, So I have to wait 716 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 1: another two weeks, but I don't I'm tempted. I think 717 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 1: I might get it tonight for twenty bucks. It's if 718 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 1: I can't find another movie that's streaming that's free, I 719 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 1: might have to just open my wallet and do that, right. 720 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like you should just do it. 721 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,759 Speaker 1: I'm actually I'm surprised we have. We've gotten through this 722 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: entire podcast without saying coronavirus that many times. 723 00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 2: I know, it's a nice break. 724 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: It is a nice break because because let's be honest, 725 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 1: it is just it's downright insane what's happening right now. 726 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,879 Speaker 1: Like yesterday, I watched the Mayor Talk and say that 727 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: LA was on lockdown. Not lockdown, that's not the right 728 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 1: word to use. It's safer at home. And then all 729 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 1: of a sudden we get the governor like he's like, 730 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,919 Speaker 1: you know what, I'll see I'll see your safe at home, 731 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 1: Los Angeles, and I'll raise you the entire state. And 732 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 1: now it's like the entire state is safer at home. 733 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 1: Now they're not like they're not putting military and police 734 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,799 Speaker 1: outside my front door and saying you can't leave your 735 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 1: house and you can still go on walks and you 736 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,799 Speaker 1: can still you saw I tweeted last night about the 737 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,400 Speaker 1: fact that marijuana dispensaries are still on the list of 738 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:38,960 Speaker 1: approved places to go. 739 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a little bit confused by that. 740 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: I just love that, Like you can't go you know, 741 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 1: you can't go anywhere, but you know the pot shop. 742 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 1: That's okay, We're look, it's California. We understand you have needs. Yeah, 743 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,320 Speaker 1: but I did see that personal grooming was on there, 744 00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 1: so I think haircuts you should be able to get in, 745 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,239 Speaker 1: like nail salon's. Like have you seen that meme that's 746 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 1: going around of everyone's going to know everyone's true like 747 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 1: roots and likes and stuff. 748 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 2: Like it's so funny. I love that. 749 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,800 Speaker 1: I thought that was pretty funny too. I got a haircut. 750 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 2: You're still gonna get your haircut? 751 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:16,319 Speaker 1: Well, I got my haircut. You know, I get it 752 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 1: done every three weeks, and I got I got it 753 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 1: done right before this whole shutdown. So but the place 754 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 1: I go to is actually closed. I got like an 755 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,880 Speaker 1: email from them, so I don't know. I may have to. 756 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: I did cut Parker's hair last night here at home, 757 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:35,319 Speaker 1: so really yeah, because and then my wife, I told 758 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,360 Speaker 1: her not to get a haircut right before because I 759 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:39,960 Speaker 1: was like, you don't want to be in a hair 760 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 1: salon right before this whole thing's happening. And now she's 761 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 1: mad at me because she could have had her hair 762 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 1: done and she missed her window. So I don't know. 763 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:49,839 Speaker 1: It's kind. 764 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 3: I was supposed to go on Wednesday and I canceled. 765 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,560 Speaker 1: You canceled, and now that's all. 766 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,279 Speaker 3: I canceled Monday, and then on Tuesday she was like, yeah, 767 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 3: I think that's better, because it's just it's. 768 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 2: Not right now. 769 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 3: It's just like, you know, you're not really supposed to 770 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 3: just like be around a lot of people, you know. 771 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,800 Speaker 1: Longtime listener Mike Lamone I think that's how you say it. 772 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,279 Speaker 1: He said he got his hair cut yesterday and they 773 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 1: closed today. So and Rick Feldman look at this. He 774 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 1: has offered to cut my hair. But I only know 775 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 1: one style, and I assume that style is like the 776 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 1: buzz where that's what I want to do with my 777 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:28,319 Speaker 1: kid yesterday, where you just buzz like everything. But I 778 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 1: couldn't do that because the trimmer I had it was 779 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 1: fine for like sideburns, but when I tried to like 780 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 1: actually do anything more like turn out to be not 781 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: as substantial as I thought. So I will be ordering 782 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 1: a one of those like real buzzer things off Amazon, 783 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,239 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna have my kids they're gonna have buzz 784 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,279 Speaker 1: cuts by the end of the week. I can't wait. 785 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,279 Speaker 3: But it'll take like two months to get to you. 786 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 2: Right now, Amazon taking forever. 787 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 1: I know. It's like everything that we used to get 788 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,880 Speaker 1: like next day, same day is definitely I ordered stuff 789 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 1: on let's see, Wednesday night, and it's it's coming here 790 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,799 Speaker 1: like Tuesday and Wednesday, so that's almost like I'll look 791 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:03,879 Speaker 1: at that, and Mike confirmed that's how you say it. 792 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 1: Mike Lemone got it. That's a cool last name. It's 793 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:08,880 Speaker 1: kind of like Lemon, but Lemone? 794 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 2: Is it Limon? 795 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,439 Speaker 1: Oh?
