1
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: Cees returns to Las Vegas for twenty twenty two. Samsung

2
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: has some really slick looking laptops, and T Mobile debuts

3
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: their own tracker. Plus your tech questions answered. What's going on?

4
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: I'mrich Demiro and this is Rich on Tech, the podcast

5
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: where I talk about the tech stuff I think you

6
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: should know about. It's also the place right answer the

7
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: questions you send me. I'm the tech reporter at KTLA

8
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: Channel five in Los Angeles. Thanks for tuning into the show.

9
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: Welcome back to me, because if you noticed, I wasn't here.

10
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: Last week. I flew to New Jersey to see my

11
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: family for the first time in a year, marking the

12
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: third time I've been on a plane during the pandemic,

13
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: and it's all been very different experiences. Number One, well

14
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: these the last two times the planes were packed, so

15
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: that's for starters, but overall good experience. This my flight

16
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: to New Jersey. They were very particular about, you know,

17
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: when to take off your mask to eat. You know,

18
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: you had to you have to put it back up

19
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: in between bites anyway, all this stuff, so it was fine.

20
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: I did get a chance to check out a really

21
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: really wild place in New Jersey called the American Dream.

22
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: This is a mall that was being built for I

23
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: think like at least twenty years. I mean, this thing

24
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: started out something called like Xana Do, and it just

25
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: it never came to fruition, and it just sat vacant

26
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: for so long, and then finally someone purchased it. I

27
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: did some research. It looks like it's the same owners

28
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: as the Mall of America, so they know a thing

29
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: or two about giant malls. But I'm telling you, this

30
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: thing is huge. It's right outside New York City in

31
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: the Meadowlands, if you're familiar with New Jersey at all,

32
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: kind of where when I grew up it was called

33
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: the Continental Airlines Arena and Giants Stadium. Now, of course

34
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: it's MetLife Arena, and I don't think the other one

35
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: or MetLife Stadium, and I don't think the other one

36
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: is even there anymore. But this thing has a water

37
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: park inside a theme park inside let's see mini golf

38
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: inside a Lego land type place, but not the full

39
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: like rides and all that stuff, Sea Life aquarium, no

40
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: movie theater, which I thought was kind of interesting. That

41
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: seems like an omission. But not everything was open just

42
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: yet because I think it just recently opened, but they're

43
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: still kind of getting stores on board and stuff. But anyway,

44
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: kind of fun. Did a little video on my YouTube

45
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: and all the various social channels, but I don't know,

46
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting, you know, the mall is

47
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: like this very I spent the most time in the

48
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: Amazon store. I mean, isn't that wild. That's where I

49
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: went After all that, I just went to the place

50
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: where I shop all the time. But it's just cool

51
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: to see. Definitely an experience, and I can see it

52
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: being more crowded once things kind of get up and

53
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: running a little bit more. But they do have thirty

54
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: thousand parking spots, so I think they're prepared. No, no, uh,

55
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: the parking was free while I was there. That was

56
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: the best part. You know, they're gonna end up charging

57
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: so much for that, but right now it's free. The

58
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: other thing I did in New Jersey was help my

59
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: family out with all their tech. Every time I go

60
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: out to Jersey, you know, I'm sitting there upgrading their

61
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: Wi Fi and just making sure everything's working properly. So

62
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: that's always fun and always, you know, I feel like

63
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: I have a good handle on the average person when

64
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: it comes to technology, because I get so many emails

65
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: and stuff and you hear them on the show, but

66
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: when I go home, I really truly get that first

67
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: kind of hands on, Like, you know, the questions that

68
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: I get from my family about tech is like, wow,

69
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: this is like people just generally. I guess since I'm

70
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: immersed in it on a daily basis and I'm following

71
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: it so closely, I just know the nuances of everything.

72
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: But when you really just think of the average person,

73
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: like the questions you get, it makes me realize that

74
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: I have to start at the very basics when I

75
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: present something on TV or pretty much anywhere else on

76
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: my Facebook, social media whatever. For instance, I just posted

77
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: a video of the air tag. This is Apple's tracking

78
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: device that we didn't really get to talk about in

79
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: the last show because there was no last show. When

80
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: it happened, I went on Brian Tong's podcast, so if

81
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: you want to listen to that, you can. I talked

82
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: at length about the air tag and how much I

83
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: believe there the future and all this stuff. But anyway,

84
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: so I got one and I am playing around with it,

85
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: and I put a little video on my Instagram. The

86
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: number one question is wait a second, Rich, how do

87
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: you attach that to your stuff? And it just didn't

88
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: even occur to me that I would have to show

89
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: people that you need like a little loop or keychain

90
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: to attach it, which, of course Apple will gladly sell

91
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: you for twenty nine dollars. There's a bunch of third

92
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: party devices that let you attach these or accessories. I

93
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: should say that lets you attack the air tag to things,

94
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: but I mean you've probably heard about the air tag

95
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: over and over. I'm gonna do my review next week

96
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: for KTLA, but I am very, very bullish on these things.

97
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: I think that's the good one, right. I mean, Apple

98
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: has nearly a billion devices out there in the world

99
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: that can help you locate these things. Chances are it's

100
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: not gonna go lost because someone with an iPhone is

101
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: going to wander past your little air tag and update

102
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: its location. So I find these things to be quite

103
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: quite fascinating. Although I will say, knock on wood, is

104
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: that wood? I don't know some others would. I have

105
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: not really lost a lot of items in the past

106
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: couple of years or many years, but you never know.

107
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: It only takes once, right, all right? Big News of

108
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: the Week CTA announcing the return to Las Vegas for

109
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: CS twenty twenty two. This is a big announcement saying

110
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: that CS will happen in Lost Vegas January fifth through eighth,

111
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Now you might remember that I was

112
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: a part of the All Digital CS this year. For

113
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: CS twenty twenty one, they actually announced. You may have

114
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: forgotten about this, but they actually announced that CS was

115
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: going to happen in Las Vegas back before, you know,

116
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: like this was like six months prior or eight months

117
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: whatever it was. They're like, yeah, we're still going to

118
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: have it, and then all of a sudden, it was like, uh, yeah,

119
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: this this pandemic is a little more serious than we imagined.

120
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: Uh and yeah it's not happening. And that was kind

121
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: of like understandable. Now it seems wild and unfathomable that

122
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 1: someone would think an in person event would happen in

123
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: January of this year, But you got to remember to

124
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: when this pandemic first started, we really did not know

125
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,239
Speaker 1: anything about the scope of it. I mean, I remember

126
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,679
Speaker 1: when I came home from work, I was like, Okay,

127
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: we're all gonna kind of, you know, take a breather

128
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: for two weeks, three weeks whatever, No, it turned into

129
00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: like a year and I'm still working from home. So anyway,

130
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: CS twenty twenty two happening in Las Vegas. I already

131
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: checked hotel rooms. Yes, they're already expensive. But they do

132
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: say that there will be a digital aspect to this.

133
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: So the CS anchor Desk, which debuted at CS twenty

134
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: twenty one, will travel to Las Vegas and connect the

135
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: digital audience with everything. And so the big question is,

136
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,679
Speaker 1: you know, there was four of us at the digital

137
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: anchor desk at CS twenty twenty one. Will any of

138
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: us get that phone call to come back and do

139
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: the anchor desk again for CS twenty twenty two. So

140
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: it was myself, I, Justine, Brian Tongue, and Naomi Kyle.

141
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: Will any of us be there for CS twenty twenty

142
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: two for the digital anchor desk? I don't know. I mean,

143
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: I would be honored if they asked me back. I

144
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: certainly don't expect them. It's not like a given, it's

145
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: not a shoe, and they may want to just rotate

146
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: different people who who knows, But anyway, I'm excited for

147
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: CS twenty twenty two. No matter what, I will be

148
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: there in Las Vegas. I can't wait because my camera

149
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: roll was getting a little thinned out of stuff to post.

150
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: I get so much good stuff to post at CS

151
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: every year. I end up posting videos from that throughout

152
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: the year. In fact, I recently post a video posted

153
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: a video of I still have more stuff to post

154
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: from CS twenty twenty that I'd never posted because I

155
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: felt like at a certain point it was like too late,

156
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: and then I was like eh, But I did end

157
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 1: up just reposting or posting something for the first time.

158
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: You know, you're talking what two years later, and it

159
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: still did really well because you know, people it's the

160
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: first time they're seeing this stuff. All right, Let's get

161
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: to the first question of the day. Jam says, I

162
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: watch your TV show every day, wondering if you know

163
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: how to say photos, stories, events, and articles online independently

164
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: from other sites so that they would stay on forever.

165
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: More So, many sites remove articles after a shelf life burnout.

166
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: I'm looking to keep things posted for a lifetime, hoping

167
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: for free. Thanks for your advice, JM. Good question, JM.

168
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: So I would recommend for saving things. Ever, note and

169
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: the name just implies that it will be around forever,

170
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: when in fact, we know we've been proven over and

171
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: over that things don't necessarily last forever. But Evernote has

172
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: a pretty good track record, They've been around for a

173
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: long time, and they do have a free option. So

174
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: did you say, yeah, hoping for free? So basically, you

175
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: install the app on your computer and then you install

176
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,599
Speaker 1: what's called the Evernote web clipper. And the reason I

177
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: would say Evernote first, I don't agree with everything Evernote does.

178
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: I feel like their application is a little bit crowded

179
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: and kind of it's gotten crowded over the years, But

180
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: I think that they have the best solution out there overall,

181
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: and their web clipper is the best you can get online.

182
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: So I would say Evernote is the way to go.

183
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: Sign up for the free service, and you know, if

184
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: you outgrow the free service and you find that you

185
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: have to subscribe, you will end up having to pay

186
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: a little bit each year. But in the times I

187
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: had it, there's always some sort of deal that they

188
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: offered to renew. That's number one. Number two, I would

189
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: say Microsoft one Note is a is another one that's

190
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: really good. I don't find it. I don't like it

191
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: as much as as the Evernote, but I like, I

192
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: think it's a good second, and it's Microsoft. It's going

193
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: to be around forever. They also have a web clipper,

194
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: and there's this free for fifteen gigs of storage, so

195
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: you really don't run into the situation that ever Note.

196
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: Evernote does it like by the month, so it's like

197
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: you get a certain amount like ten megabytes or something

198
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: of clipping a month. I don't know what it is,

199
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: but you know, Evernote does it. Or one Drive. One

200
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: note is linked to one drive and they do it

201
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: by your fifteen gigs. If you have fifteen gigs of storage,

202
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: I don't care really what you're doing with that, but

203
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: once you go through it, you will have to pay.

204
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: And there's some other little things that they do, I

205
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: think to try to make you pay, But for the

206
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: most part, that's a really good one as well. And

207
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: then there's other options. I mean, you can use Google

208
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: Keep that will do it. Google keep just doesn't really

209
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: have a good What I like about ever Know and

210
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: one Drive is that they will clip the actual text

211
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: from articles online and also the pictures and stuff, so

212
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: it saves it kind of locally, like you're asking that

213
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: will work indefinitely, so even if the original site is

214
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: taken down, you'll still have your copy of it. So

215
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 1: those are the things I would recommend. Look into those things.

216
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: One of them will likely work for you. Now let's

217
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: move on to Samsung. Oh wow, Samsung. I have never

218
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: been more excited for laptops than these samsungs. I didn't

219
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: get to go hands on with these. Looks like they

220
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: did something in New York City with some media there

221
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: being in LA. I did not go out. I wasn't

222
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: actually even invited. They were inviting me at the beginning

223
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: to these things that they were doing in New York City,

224
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: and then they kind of just like, we're not even

225
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: gonna ask people to travel right now. So if you

226
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: can make it there, you know, fine, But that's fine.

227
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: I'm not no hard feelings there. But Samsung Galaxy Book

228
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: Pro and Galaxy Book Pro three sixty. So here's the

229
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: skinny on these. The number one, they're thin in light,

230
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: They kind of have all the features that you would

231
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: imagine a Samsung laptop would have. They kind of look

232
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: and feel like almost like a smartphone, you know, inspired

233
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: by smartphone. So some of these models have touch screens.

234
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: They've got the smart switch, which you know you used

235
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: to kind of take all your old files and settings

236
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: from your old laptop to your new one. Of course,

237
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: Windows is what they're running. Thin in light. I interviewed

238
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: Sam Rutherford from Gizmoto and he actually got to go

239
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: hands on with these, and he said he just could

240
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: not believe how thin and light they were. They were

241
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: like astonishingly thin and light. So that's really cool. Some

242
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: of them have either have LTE or five G and

243
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: then they've got a lot of little like pain points

244
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: that they figured out, like kind of just I don't know.

245
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: There's like a stylist you can get with some models,

246
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: touchscreen on some models. The ports, they have a lot

247
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: of them, Like you know, they have various USB C ports,

248
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: various USB ports, various thunderbolt ports, you know, headphone jack.

249
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: So there's just a lot going on here. The keyboard

250
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: they say they made as comfortable as possible. There's all

251
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: kinds of things like screen recording and stuff for making

252
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: you look better on video chat. And then of course

253
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: it links to your Samsung Galaxy phone or just an

254
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: Android phone in general really nicely. There's a lot of

255
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: integration and a lot of that stuff. You were able

256
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: to get on other Windows laptops, but this is kind

257
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: of they worked with Microsoft and Samsung and Microsoft have

258
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: gotten really close in the whole Apple world. You know,

259
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: Apple has such a tight ecosystem with their stuff that

260
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: these other manufacturers realize that they need something to compete

261
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: with that. And I think this Galaxy Book Pro, if

262
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: you have an Android, this is kind of the closest

263
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: you get to having an Android plus a laptop that

264
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: works seamlessly, just the way and an iPhone works with

265
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: a Mac laptop. And of course you can also you

266
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: know nearby share files. I mean, your photos show up

267
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: in the gallery on the computer. There's just a lot

268
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: going on here. So available May fourteenth, the thirteen inch

269
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: Galaxy Book Pro starts at one thousand, the fifteen inch

270
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: starts at eleven hundred. Then you've got the Galaxy Pro

271
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: three to sixty. This is the one that has the

272
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: touchscreen and also the convertible so it bends fully backwards.

273
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: That's going to start at twelve hundred for the thirteen

274
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: inch and then thirteen hundred for the fifteen inch. And

275
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: if you order it pre order, which is now until

276
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: May thirteenth, you get one hundred and fifty dollars in

277
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: credits for a future order, or if you purchase at launch,

278
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: which is starting May fourteenth through May thirty, if you

279
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: get one hundred dollars credit and the hard drives on

280
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: these things. It's kind of the only sore point for me.

281
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: Up to five twelve gigs on the smaller models and

282
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: a terabyte on the bigger models. But I don't know.

283
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: I mean, if I was, if I was a Galaxy user,

284
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: I think I would have to rock one of these

285
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: laptops and I would I guess I would just go

286
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: all Premiere. I mean, we're using Premiere at KTLA to

287
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: edit our pieces for air. I personally use Final Cut

288
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: for any of my social media stuff. But I could

289
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: maybe be convinced to move over if I was switching

290
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: to an S twenty one Ultra. I don't know, just

291
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: saying all right. Next question, Charlene says bicyclist here, would

292
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: you have a recommendation for a communication device between riders

293
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: in a group? Would rather not depend on cell service

294
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: more of a hands free walkie talkie? Thank you? This

295
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: is an interesting question. I don't know, I'm not I'm

296
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: sure the biker community out there knows of something that

297
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: maybe I'm just not thinking of. But to me, I'm

298
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: so kind of cell phone centric that I'm not really sure.

299
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you could just spring for regular walkie talkies,

300
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: would that work? I mean, just clip them to your bike.

301
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure they have those, like you know, those little

302
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: attachments that you can put on your shirt or something

303
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: that I don't know. I mean, you're you're saying you're bicyclists,

304
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: so I'm sure you're not going as fast as a motorcycle.

305
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: I'm thinking more motorcycle where there'd be a lot of

306
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: wind noise, and how do you even communicate you need

307
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: something in your ear? But I think you can get

308
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: you know, just regular walkie talkies with a head piece.

309
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: Just start with that perhaps, But if you're in a group,

310
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, how many people can use

311
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: walkie talkies with I don't know. It's just there's the

312
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: other thing there's on Apple Watch. They have the walkie

313
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: talkie feature which you could also use, but again you

314
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: would have to have you know, cell phone service with that.

315
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: And then there's something called Zello, which I know this

316
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: app is very popular. This was kind of I don't

317
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: know what the deal was with this during the whole

318
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: like fire season and all that stuff. But Zello has

319
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: some stuff, so I would check out ze Lllo dot com.

320
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: But I don't know. If you have a suggestion, at

321
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: me at rich on tech on Twitter and let me

322
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: know what would you suggest for bicyclists to keep in

323
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: touch kind of a lah walkie talkie. I don't know.

324
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: I just think smartphone, smartphone, smartphone, But maybe there's something

325
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: that's so obvious I'm just not really thinking about. All right,

326
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: let's talk about T Mobile. Now. We talked about the

327
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: air tag, which I'm very bullish on, but the air

328
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: tag is not really meant to keep track of people

329
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 1: or of things that are you know, It's really meant

330
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: for items, right, And so when you think about sort

331
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: of your dog or a kid, you might want maybe

332
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: more of a full fledged tracking device. And T Mobile

333
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: has something that might fit the bill. This is called

334
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: the sync up Tracker, and this is more of a

335
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: like almost like a digital GPS device. So this is

336
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: it works on T mobiles LTE network. So this does

337
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: have a cellular connection built in, which the air tag

338
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: does not. It works with iOS and Android, which the

339
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: air tag only works with iOS. It's available Friday, May seventh.

340
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: And the reality here is that this is more of

341
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: a GPS tracker, and so you can set virtual boundaries.

342
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,719
Speaker 1: So if you set a boundary for your kid at school,

343
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: you'll get a notification when this tracker leaves that boundary,

344
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: so that's kind of cool. It does not need to

345
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: be near a smartphone to work, so this just connects

346
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: directly to the cellular network, unlike the air tag, which

347
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: does need to piggyback off of phones. You can ring

348
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: it when it's lost. You've got a light sensor, so

349
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: it can even sense when it from light to dark

350
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: or dark to light. So let's say you put it

351
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: in something and someone opens that like a refrigerator door,

352
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: you would get a notification. It's also water and dust

353
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: resistant IP sixty seven, which is the same as the

354
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: air tag, and it has a nine hundred million hour

355
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: rechargeable battery, so this is rechargeable versus the air tag,

356
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: which has a replaceable battery. But the battery on T

357
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: Mobile's device only lasts for seven days, and that makes

358
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 1: a lot of sense because it is constantly using cellular

359
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: to ping the network and use that and grab a

360
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: GPS location, So it's not going to last as long

361
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: as what Apple has, which is just basically using Bluetooth

362
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: low energy to ping a cell phone that's nearby, or

363
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: cell phone pings, I don't know either way. It's also

364
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: a little bit more expensive sixty dollars and then five

365
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: dollars a month for data. So again at first, at

366
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: first thought, you might be like, rich, why would I

367
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: ever Why would I ever get something like the sink

368
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: up tracker when I could get the air tag for

369
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: half the price and no monthly fee. Well, they are

370
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: very different devices. The sync up tracker would be probably

371
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: something more along the lines of what I would put

372
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: on a dog, or more along the lines of what

373
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: I would clip to my kids backpack to keep track

374
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: of them, more so than the than the air tag,

375
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: which is not really meant for kids. It's not really

376
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: meant for pets, but I know people are going to

377
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: use it for that. But we'll see as people experience

378
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: these things just how well they will work with kids

379
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: and pets. Because you know, there are some things built

380
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: into the to the air tag that makes it not

381
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: a good solution for third party clips. You know, when

382
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: you're when you're clipping it to something that is not

383
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: near your phone all the time. It it does some

384
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: things to make sure that it's not being used in

385
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: a nefarious way. So we'll have to see if that

386
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: does work with kids and backpacks all that stuff. But

387
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: our kids and dogs, I should say so. Anyway, I

388
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: think we're gonna see a lot more of these trackers

389
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: out in the marketplace, just because battery technology is getting better.

390
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: Cellular companies want to make money on their networks, and

391
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: you know we already see that. Samsung is coming out

392
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: with They announced at their Galaxy Unpacked event. They made

393
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 1: a big deal about their oh gosh, what did they

394
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: call it? They called it the Galaxy Oh did they

395
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: mention it in here? The smart Things Find, that's what

396
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: they call Smart Things Find, and they say they have

397
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: like sixty eight million devices on their network to help

398
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: people find stuff. So it's it's you know, we're never

399
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: going to be lost ever again, folks. This is just

400
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 1: the way it is. You try to go on vacation

401
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: and get lost in you know the world around you,

402
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: and you can't. Someone's tracking you. You're tracking yourself, you're

403
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: tracking your stuff, You're getting updates about where your stuff is.

404
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 1: It's just the way the world is these days. And

405
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: I don't blame you. I mean it's tough for me

406
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: to go offline, it really is. It's not easy, Gloria

407
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: says your recommendation as my first cell phone was an

408
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: iPhone twelve, which is eight hundred dollars. But after that

409
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: you spoke of the Samsung A thirty two to five G.

410
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: Since the Samsung would be a lot less money than

411
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: the iPhone twelve, which you recommend the Samsung as a

412
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 1: better buy for my first phone? Or should I stick

413
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: with buying the iPhone twelve. I'll only be using the

414
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: phone for general use. I won't be streaming movies, won't

415
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: be playing video games, and I'll only be using the

416
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 1: camera at once in a while. Even though the iPhone

417
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: twelve is more money, I would not hesitate to buy

418
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: if it turned out the iPhone twelve would be a

419
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: better buy, Gloria. Well, interesting question, Gloria. So I don't

420
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: I have knockne hands on with the A thirty two. Now,

421
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: I will tell you that I do have the Samsung

422
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: Galaxy A fifty two five G which they sent me

423
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: to test out. And this is still this is five

424
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: hundred dollars, not as inexpensive as the A thirty two G,

425
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: but it's oh wow, interesting. It looks just like a

426
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: Mini S twenty one Ultra. I got to turn that on. Ah.

427
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: But here's my feeling. You are buying a phone that

428
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: I think you are going to use for a while.

429
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: And I think that the iPhone twelve is going to

430
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: age better than the Samsung A thirty two. And I

431
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 1: know Samsung is guaranteeing years of updates, probably three years

432
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: of updates perhaps with the A thirty two. Don't quote

433
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 1: me on that, but that's kind of what they've been

434
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: doing lately, and in fact, it might even be four

435
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: at this point. But I feel like the iPhone is

436
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: easier in several ways. Number One, there's a lot more

437
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: accessories for it. Number Two, it's kind of a universal device,

438
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: at least here in the US, which means if you

439
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: need help with it, someone's going to be able to

440
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: help you, whether that's a friend or family member, they're

441
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: going to be familiar with it. You also have the

442
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,719
Speaker 1: Genius Bar at the Apple Store, so if you ever

443
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: get into a problem with it anywhere you are in

444
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: the world, you'll be able to walk into a store

445
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: and get help. And I think the lifetime of that

446
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: phone is going to just be a little bit better

447
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 1: and a little bit longer than the A thirty two

448
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: five G, which might show some signs of age after

449
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 1: you know, two years, Whereas the iPhone twelve, I think

450
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a good, solid four years, if not longer,

451
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 1: of use out of that device. So when you say

452
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: you want a better buy, I think the iPhone twelve

453
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: is going to be your best buy. Nothing against the

454
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: A thirty two. I think that's a great little phone

455
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: for an inexpensive device. And you say you're not using

456
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: your device very much, But I just think for all

457
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: the reasons I mentioned, the iPhone twelve just might be

458
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: a better buy for your first phone, because yes, it's

459
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: more expensive, but do the math over a couple of years,

460
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: and it's gonna work itself out, and you're gonna have

461
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: a little bit more of a support system with that,

462
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: better apps, better accessories, and overall, I think that might

463
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: be just a better way to go. All right, let's

464
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 1: talk about the Should I do another question? Yeah, let

465
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: me do another question. Let's do another question. Wow, I

466
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: never do this, rich? Are you a what's what's going on?

467
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: Why are you're doing two questions in a row? I

468
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: don't know why not surface pro does not wake up?

469
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: Says Marta. Dear Rich, I love your tech advice. So

470
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: here I am with a cry for help. I have

471
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 1: a surface Pro seven, which I bought a couple months ago.

472
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: Suddenly it does not wake up. I read it's a

473
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: common problem, but my case is not fixable and I

474
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: need to send it in for repairs. I need to

475
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: wipe off all my data. But how can I do

476
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: that if my computer does not wake up. I understand

477
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: you're a super busy guy, but if you are able,

478
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: would you please give me some advice? Thanks? Marta. Good

479
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: good question, Marta, and I love that you are trying

480
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: to protect your personal information by asking this question. And

481
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: so this is a tough one. Your computer doesn't turn

482
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: it on, but you have to send it in. So

483
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: what do you do? What do you do with a

484
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: computer that doesn't turn on? Well? Two things. I hope

485
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: you have a password on your computer. That's number one.

486
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: I hope you've got a password protecting all of your data.

487
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: If you don't, I would not send it in personally.

488
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: That's number one. Number two, I hope you have a

489
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: backup of your data. So if you have a backup

490
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,239
Speaker 1: of your data, here's what I think. Okay, so if

491
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 1: you have a backup and your computer's password protected, normally

492
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: I would not say to send it in, But in

493
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,959
Speaker 1: this case, if you have to send it in, that's

494
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: your only option. You're going to have to trust the

495
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: system and send it in. Now, if you have a

496
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: password on your computer, there's not much that they're going

497
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: to be able to do to bypass that. Yeah, there

498
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: could be ways of them bypassing, but in general, you know,

499
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: if you're sending it to a reputable outlet, they're not

500
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 1: going to try to bypass your password. They're going to

501
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: either sign in, you know, create a new administrator account

502
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: or something if they can, if that's even possible, or

503
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 1: they're just going to try to work on your computer

504
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,959
Speaker 1: and get it started without getting into your account. If

505
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: they ask you for your passas word, which has happened

506
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: to me. I've brought my laptop in places and they're like, oh,

507
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 1: can you write down your password? Uh uh, no way,

508
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that. No way shape or form my

509
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: writing down my password for anyone, And if you need

510
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: it to get into this system, then I will go elsewhere.

511
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: And so I was just in the U Break I

512
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: Fixed store in Los Angeles and they were saying that, yeah,

513
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: people bring their phones in all the time and don't

514
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: know their password or they you know, they don't know

515
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: how to get into the phone, and there's really nothing

516
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 1: they can do to get in. Now. I know that's

517
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: a phone versus a laptop. Here. There might be something

518
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 1: on Windows that I don't know about that lets you

519
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: get into someone's account without having their password, but I

520
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: don't know of that. Maybe there is, maybe the administrator profile.

521
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. But what I would do is if

522
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: you have a backup, then just send it in and

523
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: just hope for the best. Now, the thing is they're

524
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: probably gonna have to wipe your computer clean, which means

525
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose all your data. So if you don't

526
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: have a good bath, that's going to be a problem.

527
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: In that case, I would find a local repair place

528
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: and see what they say. So what they were telling

529
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: me is that what they'll do at the you break

530
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: I Fix if you can't remember your password on the

531
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: phone and they're you know, there's some sort of water

532
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: damage or whatever that's keeping it from working. They will

533
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: what they call frankenstein it. They will do whatever they

534
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: can to preserve your data, but just get the device

535
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: to turn on and make it get to a screen

536
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: where you can put in your password and recover your data.

537
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: So that's what they told me, and that's what I

538
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: would hope they would do here as well with your

539
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: Surface Pro seven. But yeah, the bottom line is that

540
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: you never really want to send something in that has

541
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: you know, that's unlocked, number one, and if it has

542
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: a password protection, I would probably I would not feel

543
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: comfortable sending that in, even though I actually I have

544
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: done that. I have left mine with a password on

545
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: it to get it repaired when my hard drive failed.

546
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: So but they did ask me to give them a passport,

547
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: and I was like, no, I'm not doing that. Apple.

548
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: I think they just tell you, look, we can't really

549
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: do anything with your computer outside of your password, like

550
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to either wipe this or you know,

551
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: your your data mayor they don't guarantee that your data

552
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: will be safe. Let's put it that way. So that

553
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: is my advice. I know it's always This is why

554
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: I say you got to have a backup got to

555
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: have a backup, got to have a backup, because you

556
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: never know what is going to happen with your device.

557
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: It can happen at a moment's notice, and when it does, ah,

558
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: it's the worst feeling in the world. All right, let's

559
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: move on to Amazon. They've got some new tablets this week.

560
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: Amazon is so funny. They just release stuff. They are like,

561
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: secretly the world's biggest consumer electronics company. Like I think

562
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: they might sell as many things as Apple. I don't

563
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: even know, but they just release so many products. They've

564
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: got all the fire stuff, They've got all the ring stuff,

565
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: They've got all their own Amazon on essentials, Amazon based

566
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: or I guess essentials might be closed on Amazon's basics.

567
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: I mean they have so many, you know, all their

568
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: al Exa devices. They just have so many devices at

569
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: this point, they don't even have events anymore. They just

570
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: launch them all. They've got earbuds, they've got sunglasses or glasses.

571
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: I mean, there's just so many things. Speakers. These are

572
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: the fire HD tablets, So fire HD tablets, you know.

573
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: I I see them as very mass market. They're very inexpensive,

574
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: which which leads a lot of people to purchase them.

575
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: I've never felt felt they were very good, but I

576
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: felt like they've been okay for like a device that is,

577
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: if you're just trying to basically watch videos on them

578
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: and maybe read a book or something. You know, if

579
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna just read a book, I'd go with a Kindle.

580
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna you know, just you just want

581
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: something that's kind of an entertainment device, Sure, the Fire

582
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,719
Speaker 1: ten is gonna be fine. I always recommend the iPad

583
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: for three twenty nine no matter what, because it's going

584
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: to have the best accessories, going to have the best apps.

585
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: But if you must and money and budget is your

586
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: number one concern, yeah, the Fire HD is going to

587
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: be just fine. Now, the Fire HD ten is kind

588
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: of their top of the line tablet because it's got

589
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,959
Speaker 1: a bigger screen and it usually has slightly better specs

590
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: than the Fire than the eights. So now they have

591
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: a new Fire HD ten and HD ten plus, and

592
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: they've got some you know, some upgrades to these, better performance,

593
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: a brighter full HD display, better design, and they've got

594
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: some interesting productivity things that they've done with these. And

595
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: generally Amazon has never sold these as productivity devices, but

596
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: now you can get a detachable keyboard, and some stuff

597
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: from Microsoft to make it more of a productivity device.

598
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: So I have k not gone hands on with these.

599
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: I requested them from Amazon so I can test them.

600
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: But I'm curious because I would never think that you

601
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: would use this for work, but if you could do

602
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: your email on it, you know, it might be a okay.

603
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: They also have fire HD ten kids tablet, and again

604
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: with the kids stuff. I always like the iPad because

605
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: I just feel like it's more, it's it's friendlier to kids.

606
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: But I know a lot of parents get the fire

607
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: tablets because they're inexpensive and they just sort of work.

608
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: But I just think the iPad is better in that aspect.

609
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,719
Speaker 1: But let's go over the new features. Fire HD ten

610
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty bucks. It's got some sort of

611
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: processor in it. Three gigs a RAM, which is fifty

612
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: percent more, so that's one gig of RAM more. Oh

613
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: my gosh. It's got a ten point one inch ten

614
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: eighty full HD display. It's ten percent brighter, it's got

615
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: a thinner bezel. It's got all day battery life, twelve

616
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,719
Speaker 1: hours of battery, plenty of storage, thirty two or sixty

617
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: four plus support for a one up to a terabyte

618
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: microSD card slot. So I always like that about the

619
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: Amazon Fire HD tablets is that they have that microSD

620
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: card slot, which means you can pretty much put a

621
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: whole bunch of memory in this thing. So by the

622
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: cheapest one and just put the memory in it. It's

623
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: got a two megapixel front facing camera. I'm not sure

624
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: if that's improved or not. They don't say, let's see,

625
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: you've got a headphone jack, which is cool. It's always

626
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: nice to have. And let's see, for thirty dollars more

627
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: so you're talking one eighty, you get four gigs of rams,

628
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: so one extra gigabyte, and then a premium finish wireless charging,

629
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: which I guess, I you know what, I guess the

630
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: wireless charging would be kind of cool with the tablet.

631
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: I leave mine plugged in at all times on my desk,

632
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: but it would be kind of nice to just have

633
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: it resting on a wireless charger and it's just always ready,

634
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: you know. So that's kind of cool. Now, this is

635
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: where it gets interesting. So two hundred and twenty dollars,

636
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: which is a full fifty six seventy dollars more than

637
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: the original. You get a Productivity bundle which includes the

638
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: Fire HD ten or a fire HD ten plus, and

639
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: it includes a detachable keyboard case. So that is interesting,

640
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: and you know, I feel like they've had a keyboard

641
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: case in the past, and I'm sure there's been some,

642
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,919
Speaker 1: but this is interesting that you now have a keyboard case,

643
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: and that's kind of nice. It magnetically attaches, you know,

644
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: for you to check email, take notes, browse the internet.

645
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: But here's the other thing that's interesting. You get a

646
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: Microsoft three sixty five Personal subscription which is twelve months,

647
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: which comes to the terabyte of cloud storage, and that

648
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: alone would be just seventy dollars for the year. So

649
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: for two hundred and twenty dollars, which is again fifty

650
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: sixty seventy dollars more, I would go with the you're

651
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: basically getting a Microsoft three sixty five subscription for a

652
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: year and a detachable keyboard case. Now you might not

653
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: need that Microsoft three sixty five because you use all

654
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: Google stuff, but it's interesting that you get all these

655
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: office apps on the Fire HD, which, if you know

656
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: anything about the fire system, the reason I don't like

657
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 1: it as much is be because you don't get the

658
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: Google apps so if you're trying to use you know,

659
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: Google Drive or Gmail or Chrome, none of those apps

660
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: are actually on the Fire tablet. You have to sideload them,

661
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: which is not necessarily the easiest thing to do for

662
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: the average person. So I don't know, all right, that's

663
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: the tablets, and they didn't say when they're available, but

664
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: I guess soon. By the way, I never mentioned the

665
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: chirping sound that the air tag makes. I know just

666
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: since it's on my desk. So I'm going to detach

667
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: the uh, the little battery and once you attach it,

668
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: oh well, okay, never mind, I thought I couldn't really

669
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: hear that. All right, Well, let's get to another question.

670
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: All right, Hi, Rich Hope it's okay to ask a

671
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: specific question, but I really trust your input and advice.

672
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: We're going to Alaska in August for eight days after

673
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: postponing the trip for two years. I'm going to need

674
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: a phone with a really great camera. I currently have

675
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: the Samsung seven Edge. I know it's been a while.

676
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: I want to stay in the Android phone zone or

677
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: phone verse. Any suggestions on new phones that would give

678
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: me great zoom and wide screen capabilities. That's not an

679
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: iPhone appreciate any suggestions you have. Going online to research

680
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 1: can be crazy making and overwhelming. Many thanks. You really

681
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: do demystify tech for us. Quote older folks, best Ava Ava.

682
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: There is one phone to know, one phone. This is it.

683
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: There is no other phone that I think given everything

684
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: that you've mentioned. You want a really great camera, you

685
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: already have a Samsung. You want to stay in Android,

686
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: you want wide screen, you want zoom. Oh my gosh,

687
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: it is the Samsung Galaxy S twenty one Ultra. That

688
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: is it. That's all you need to know. Don't read

689
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,760
Speaker 1: any reviews, don't go any further. That is the phone

690
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: to get. The zoom on that phone is fantastic. It's

691
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: gonna make your pictures in Alaska. Just pop. I dig

692
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 1: dig dig the camera on the Samsung S twenty one Ultra.

693
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 1: I'm not the only one. Everyone agrees in the tech

694
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 1: world that it is the best Android at this point. Now,

695
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: the pixel might be nice, it might have good pictures,

696
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: but it's not gonna have the zoom that you want.

697
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,919
Speaker 1: And that's why I wouldn't recommend that the one plus

698
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: nine Pro. Yeah, it might look pretty good, but it

699
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: doesn't have the zoom either. In fact, the zoom on

700
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: that phone is not very good. What would I give it?

701
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: It's gonna give it a trash sound, but I couldn't.

702
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 1: And I love the nine Pro, it's great. But the

703
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: S twenty one, oh gosh, I just I'm you know,

704
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: I had to send it back to Samsung, but I

705
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: really I've been looking at it on Amazon. I've been

706
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,240
Speaker 1: eyeing it because the price came down two hundred dollars

707
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: and I'm kind of like, I really want to get

708
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: one of these things as my you know, as my Android,

709
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: because I just I don't know that the zoom on

710
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: that and the quality is just so nice. Samsung just

711
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: does such a nice job with their processing and it

712
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 1: makes pictures. Just all the pictures you're gonna take in

713
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: Alaska are just gonna look so good with that phone.

714
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: I'm jealous. So that's what I recommend you get a

715
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: fifty or is it one hundred times zoom on that phone.

716
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: But reality is ten times is optical, and I think

717
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: that's gonna be just fine for what you're doing. And

718
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: that's as far as you want to go. Yeah, you

719
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: can go further, believe me, but I think it's gonna

720
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: look so so nice. And you're gonna get just so

721
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,959
Speaker 1: many options for shooting with the S twenty one Ultra.

722
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 1: That is gonna be a great, great upgrade to your

723
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: Samsung S seven Edge. Right now, it is nine to

724
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: ninety nine for a one hundred and twenty eight gigabyte model.

725
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 1: It's weird on Amazon. It's actually one the same price

726
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: for a two fifty six, But the two fifty six

727
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 1: isn't shipping for like a month. So I would say,

728
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,720
Speaker 1: let's see, it's the end of April, you're going in August.

729
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 1: You want to have this phone for a month, you know,

730
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 1: just to make sure you're familiar with it. So I

731
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: would say, throughout the month of May, I would just

732
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: do a little search for Samsung S twenty one Ultra

733
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: deals and see what kind of deals you can get.

734
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: You can also trade in your Samsung Edge and see

735
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: what you get for that. So I would for sure

736
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: trade that phone in. Let's see how much they'll give you.

737
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to the website and let's see. So one

738
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty eight gigabyte unlocked, don't forget if you

739
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: really wanna, you know, if you can't add a memory

740
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: card to this phone, so you might consider the two

741
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: fifty six if you're you know, if you're taking a

742
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 1: ton of videos in four K. Let's see Phantom Silver.

743
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 1: I kind of like the Phantom Black, but the Phantom

744
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,720
Speaker 1: I love the Phantom titanium. That's that's pretty slick looking.

745
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: Maybe since it's get by June first. Okay, let's see

746
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 1: how much they'll give you for your trade in. So

747
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: Samsung S seven got to go all the way down

748
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 1: to the bottom of the list here because it's kind

749
00:39:55,840 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: of kind of aging. One hundred bucks so not too much.

750
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: But honestly, what are you gonna do with that S

751
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: seven when you're done? Okay, I picked a phone that's

752
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: way too expensive, So let's go with the silver, which

753
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: is one eight. Well I thought it was nineteen ninety nine.

754
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: Why is it saying one ninety nine? Oh? Maybe Amazon's

755
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: cheaper right now, so yeah, hm, that's odd. Anyway, check Amazon.

756
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,439
Speaker 1: Check Samsung dot com and check S twenty one ultra

757
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: deals on Google as a search and hit the news

758
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: section and see if anyone's blogging about some deals that

759
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: I may not know about, or deals that are not

760
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: yet readily available. But good question. Enjoy the trip. Okay, uh,

761
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: this is a great article from nine to five Google

762
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 1: from Ben shon Love Love love this tip, and I

763
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: guess someone shared it on I don't know somewhere. Steph Hippo,

764
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: site reliability manager at Google, shared this little tip that

765
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: I have been I never knew I needed it, and

766
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 1: I knew I wanted to do this, I just never

767
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: really took the time to do it. But you know,

768
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: when you go to a website and of course you

769
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: get blasted with that whole like GDPR thing where you

770
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: have to except old cookies. I mean, oh so annoying.

771
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, you have to do that on every website.

772
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: But then I'm kidding so excited, I'm hitting the mic.

773
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: Then you get blasted with this whole. Can we send

774
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: you notifications? No, I don't want notifications from any website.

775
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: No no, no, you're not my phone. I don't need

776
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: notifications from you on especially if you're on an Android

777
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: and it's sending you notifications, and then on your desktop

778
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: you're getting notifications. No no, no. So here's what you do.

779
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: You go into Chrome and this is I think for

780
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: the desktop, but you go into desktop Settings, Site settings,

781
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: notifications and turn every thing off you can turn off.

782
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 1: There's a global setting. Alternatively, you can just type Chrome

783
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: colon slash slash settings, slash content, slash notifications into your

784
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: address bar and turn it off from there. I did

785
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: this this morning, and wow, my life is so much

786
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,280
Speaker 1: better and I'm not getting bombarded with every website asking

787
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 1: can we please send you notifications? No no, no, no no.

788
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 1: Life is so much better without this, all right, So

789
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: if you're on Android, you can do it. You go

790
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: into Chrome Settings Notifications, toggle each site off, or the

791
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: show notifications toggle. Not as clean as the desktop, but wow.

792
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: Thank you Ben for writing this up, Thank you Steph

793
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: for sharing this. But we all need this because I

794
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: don't need no I've seen. It's so funny because you know,

795
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: people say yes to this by accident, and all of

796
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: a sudden, I'm working on someone's computer and I see

797
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: that they get notifications from all these different websites I've

798
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: signed up for them by accident. Next thing you know,

799
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm getting all kinds of notifications from a website, like

800
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,720
Speaker 1: a random site, and I'm like, no, no, no, goodbye.

801
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: Don't need that. Paul asks, Hey, Rich, what's the best

802
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: way to transfer playlists from Spotify to YouTube music? Looks

803
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 1: like we got a switcher. Thanks Rich, appreciate it. I

804
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: did a quick search and found a website called Sounddiz

805
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 1: sounddiz dot com or I guess sounds dot com, sound

806
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: sounds dot com. I don't know. But you can transfer

807
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,720
Speaker 1: from anything YouTube to YouTube, YouTube to Apple music, Apple

808
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: Music to Spotify, Spotify to Deezer Dezer to Napster, Napster

809
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 1: to Apple Music. iHeartRadio. They all looks like it has everything.

810
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: Everything is supported, so the plans are free. So there

811
00:43:55,360 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: are some free plans available and it says convert your

812
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:05,280
Speaker 1: playlists one by one, so you know, for zero dollars

813
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:10,280
Speaker 1: you can do playlists and up to two hundred tracks,

814
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: and it includes one sink, so if you want to

815
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,839
Speaker 1: synk between services, you can just do one. But if

816
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 1: you really want to get the most out of these,

817
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: you have to go with the premium plan, which is

818
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: three dollars a month, build annually, which is thirty six

819
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: dollars a year. That's probably what you want to end

820
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: up doing if you're doing this a lot. I don't

821
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 1: have a use for this. I don't really care about

822
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: playlists anymore, so I just, you know, I just listen

823
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: to whatever, you know they make on their own like

824
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:41,879
Speaker 1: hot Country or you know, Chill fifty whatever. I don't

825
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: care as long as it's got the music I like.

826
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 1: I've stopped making playlists. I don't even bother at all

827
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form. And so if you

828
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 1: still have you know, I know a lot of people

829
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: still have playlists that they craft and they curate whatever.

830
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,760
Speaker 1: If you got it, great, do this, but sound dz

831
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 1: dot com. And I actually heard back from let's see

832
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 1: from Paul and he said, hey, Rich, it worked. It's great,

833
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 1: and it's fast. You can transfer music from any platform Apple, Spotify,

834
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 1: et cetera. Really appreciate that answer, Thanks Rich. This was

835
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:15,959
Speaker 1: Paul who wrote in maybe on my Facebook page or something,

836
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: but anyway, there you have it. Someone tried it. Sounddiz

837
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: dot com transfer all your music no matter where it lives.

838
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: If you're still using playlists, which you know people do, well,

839
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:34,879
Speaker 1: I guess I'm all out of stories for the week,

840
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 1: which I don't know how that's possible. Oh you know

841
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,839
Speaker 1: what I didn't even talk about. I should talk about

842
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 1: iOS fourteen point five, you know, so I do have

843
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 1: a story. So iOS fourteen point five launched this week,

844
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: and there's a couple of things that are notable in it.

845
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 1: Number one, you can use your Apple Watch to unlock

846
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:54,280
Speaker 1: your phone, which came in Can I say came in clutch?

847
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: Is that like a term the kids are using. I

848
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,839
Speaker 1: don't know, but I was dropping my kid off at

849
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 1: school and you have to do this like app where

850
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: you got to like, you know, say that they're okay

851
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 1: and there's no COVID floating around your house, and so

852
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: I had to. You know, you go on this app

853
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: and you get like a QR code that lets you proceed. Well,

854
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 1: I didn't realize you have to show it to the

855
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: person when you're dropping off. So I dropped my kid

856
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: off and they're like, oh, do you have the app?

857
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, yeah, here it is. And I

858
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:20,839
Speaker 1: went to unlock my phone, but of course I'm wearing

859
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: a mask, so my phone is like. I'm like, oh,

860
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:25,959
Speaker 1: it's gonna you know, I gotta put in my pass code,

861
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 1: but no, all of a sudden, I feel a little

862
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 1: haptic on my wrist and boom, my phone unlocks. And

863
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: yes it works because in iOS fourteen point five, you

864
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,800
Speaker 1: can now use your iPhone and your Apple Watch in

865
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: Unison to unlock your iPhone when you're wearing a mask now,

866
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: I will tell you, I am very excited that the

867
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: government has said you don't need a mask when you're outside.

868
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 1: And yes, there's a million caveats, but the good news

869
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,919
Speaker 1: is I was able to run yesterday without a mask.

870
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:56,399
Speaker 1: And please don't get me on the whole mask thing. Look,

871
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to wear a mask, just as much

872
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 1: as everyone else out there, but I do you know,

873
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 1: if I need to, if I'm in a place where

874
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: they say you have to, I will wear it. I'm

875
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 1: not fighting it. I'm not saying it dumb whatever. It's

876
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 1: just the rules of the land right now, and I'm

877
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 1: following them. And so the good news is that La,

878
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: and you know, the US government has said that you

879
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: don't need a mask when you're outside, and so that's

880
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 1: great and fantastic, and so I listened to that. Yesterday

881
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: I went for a run and I ran without a mask,

882
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:25,800
Speaker 1: and it was glorious. And I kind of forgot what

883
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 1: it was like to do that. And you might say, rich, well,

884
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: you never needed one anyway, but I know, but here

885
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 1: in LA you did. And so I just follow the

886
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: rules like a good citizen. And anyway, So iOS fourteen

887
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: point five you no longer need or you no longer anyway,

888
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: it's not a pain to unlock your iPhone if you're

889
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: wearing a mask, if you have an Apple Watch on,

890
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 1: because it just notices that you have an Apple Watch

891
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: and boom it unlocks. And so how do you turn

892
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 1: that on? You got to update both your Apple Watch

893
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: and your iPhone so to the latest software on Apple Watch.

894
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is, but on iPhone it's

895
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 1: fourteen point five. And then once you do, you go

896
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 1: into settings, face ID unlock with Apple Watch, turn that

897
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 1: on and it'll take a second. But now it's pretty amazing.

898
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: It's just if you have an Apple Watch, it's a

899
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: lot easier to unlock your phone. I know. If you're

900
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 1: an Android person, you're like rich. This has been around

901
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: forever on Android. It's called smart unlock. Yes I know.

902
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 1: But Apple, you know they do things at their own pace,

903
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: so yes, we have it. Uh. The other thing is

904
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: this whole privacy tracking so or I guess whatever you

905
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: want to call it app transparency. So now apps have

906
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 1: to ask if they can track you. And who's gonna

907
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: say yes to that? No one. So now when you

908
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 1: download an app on iOS, fourteen point five. You run it,

909
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna say, hey, do you mind if we track

910
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 1: you across all the websites that you visit and share

911
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,399
Speaker 1: that information with everyone else so that we can serve

912
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: up better ads and make more money off of you.

913
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,800
Speaker 1: And what are you gonna say? You're probably gonna say no.

914
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 1: And yes, I feel bad for all these companies that

915
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:59,800
Speaker 1: now have to deal with this new reality, notably Google

916
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 1: and Facebook. And I say that a little facetiously. I mean, look,

917
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: they'll figure it out, but it's the end of an era.

918
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 1: The wild West of tracking folks is over, at least

919
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:15,439
Speaker 1: on the iPhone, and I'm sure that Android will follow

920
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 1: suit because you know, if Apple this is a big,

921
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 1: big advantage that they have, and people are like, well,

922
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 1: why would I ever get an Android because it's a

923
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: wild West for tracking there. But on the iPhone it's

924
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 1: all buttoned down. You know, the Android's going to have

925
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 1: to probably figure something out to make it feel like

926
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: it's in line. So if you don't even want apps

927
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 1: to give you the option to track, you just go

928
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 1: into Settings once you've updated to fourteen point five. It's

929
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 1: Settings Privacy Tracking, and then the option to allow apps

930
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 1: to request to track, Just turn it off and boom,

931
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 1: they cannot even ask to track you. That is that's it,

932
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 1: that's where you want to go. And fourteen point five

933
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 1: has a lot of other little refinements as well. Siri

934
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,399
Speaker 1: has gotten some new voices. There's no longer de fault,

935
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 1: so when you first set up Siri for the first time,

936
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 1: it will say, Hey, which voice do you like? Which

937
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 1: one do you want to choose? And there are some

938
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 1: more diverse options there, so you can choose one of

939
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:16,760
Speaker 1: those to your liking. What else, Yeah, she's no longer

940
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 1: or I should say, it is no longer defaulting to

941
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 1: a female voice, So now you will have the option

942
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 1: to choose and that's probably a good thing because I

943
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 1: always thought it was odd that Siri is a she, Like,

944
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 1: how do we know? You know, like, just pick what

945
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 1: you like and go with it. So that's that. What

946
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 1: else is in there, Let's see fourteen point five little

947
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 1: things here and there. I've noticed they've kind of cleaned

948
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,320
Speaker 1: some things up, They've kind of you know, fixed some bugs,

949
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 1: made some things nicer. But that's fourteen point five in

950
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 1: a nutshell. I would update it because there are some

951
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 1: things that do really improve upon Okay, now to another. Oh, okay,

952
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: this is not really a question. This is more of

953
00:50:56,719 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 1: a comment to rich Ta says, hey, which, how about

954
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: doing some stories on Android products? Apple? Apple, Apple? It's

955
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 1: grown tiresome. Ta, I know, I hear you. But what

956
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 1: am I supposed to do? I mean, what am I

957
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 1: supposed to do? I don't want to go off right now,

958
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: But the reality is, I do Android stuff. I do

959
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,320
Speaker 1: Apple stuff. I do Android stuff, I do Apple stuff.

960
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 1: Tomorrow my story on KTLA is Samsung. When Apple comes

961
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 1: out with their stuff, I do Apple stuff. And the

962
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 1: reality is, I'll just be completely honest. When I do

963
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 1: Apple stuff, it does better. There clearly are more Apple

964
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 1: folks in my listening and viewing world than there are Android,

965
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 1: because when I do Apple, it really does well. And

966
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 1: when I do Android it's fine. I don't get as

967
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: much feedback, I don't get as much views, I don't

968
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 1: get as many clicks. But I love Android. Don't get

969
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: me wrong. I love Android. In fact, I've said this,

970
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,759
Speaker 1: I really enjoy the Android operating system. But there's a

971
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:59,879
Speaker 1: lot of stuff I appreciate about Apple, and I think

972
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 1: Apple does a lot of things better, and I think

973
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:04,840
Speaker 1: Android does a lot of things better. So it's not

974
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 1: a war, it's not a race. It's just options. And

975
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 1: so the reality is there are lots of options out there.

976
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 1: I don't tell people which one they should choose unless

977
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 1: you ask me, and I'll give you the best option

978
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:20,760
Speaker 1: for your situation. But Ta, I'm not sitting here trying

979
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 1: to do more Apple or trying to do more Android.

980
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 1: I'm just doing kind of what the market dictates dictates.

981
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 1: And when Apple comes out with stuff, I'll gladly cover it.

982
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:31,839
Speaker 1: When Google comes out with stuff, I'll cover it. When

983
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 1: Samsung comes out with stuff, I'll cover it. When TCL

984
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 1: comes out with stuff, I'll cover it. So it's just

985
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 1: kind of the EBB and flow of things when it's

986
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 1: an Apple event, like it was probably when you wrote me,

987
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna be talking about Apple stuff for

988
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: a bit because you've got the cycle of Apple stuff

989
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 1: is announced and then we go hands on, and then

990
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: I get more hands on and I talk about it.

991
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,800
Speaker 1: Same thing with Android. So I hope that you know

992
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 1: you understand that, and that's just the reality of what's

993
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 1: happening here. All right, let's do one more segment or

994
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: one more question, I should say, all right, Kathy says, Hey, Rich,

995
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 1: I'm hoping you can help. I watched your segment a

996
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: few days ago about an app to help teachers. It's

997
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 1: called Overviewer. It's exactly what I've needed, so I purchased

998
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:19,239
Speaker 1: the stand for my phone and of course just went

999
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: to the site to download it and darn it is

1000
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 1: for Apple products only and I'm Android. Do you have

1001
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 1: any suggestions for another app? I've been using Zoom and

1002
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: Canvas to teach for the past year. I've been able

1003
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,840
Speaker 1: to integrate more technology for my students. Tomorrow, I'm teaching

1004
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 1: them how to sew online. I thought this would be

1005
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 1: perfect and helping me come up with questions while we're

1006
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: on Zoom, so I have them out. I have a

1007
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 1: smartphone from Samsung, and I'd like to hook up my

1008
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 1: camera as a video monitor to my computer so I

1009
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: can share the screen for my students. Do you have

1010
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 1: any thoughts? Thanks for your help, Kathy. All right, Kathy,

1011
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:52,320
Speaker 1: So you're referring to an app called Overviewer that I

1012
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 1: featured on KTLA, and this is an app that uses

1013
00:53:56,239 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 1: your iPhone as a camera for a wireless camera Zoom.

1014
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 1: So I showed a little amount that you can use

1015
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 1: and kind of switch between cameras. So if you want

1016
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 1: to show you know what you're reading, or what you're writing,

1017
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 1: or what you're doing, like in your case sewing, your

1018
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: hands are free and your camera is right above and

1019
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: the kids can see it or the students. I should say,

1020
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 1: now to be fair and back to what TA was saying,

1021
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 1: I said. When I interviewed the developer of Overviewer, I said, oh,

1022
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: my gosh, do you have any idea if there's an

1023
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:27,359
Speaker 1: Android version of this? Because I know people are going

1024
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:29,920
Speaker 1: to ask me? And he said no, I don't know,

1025
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,359
Speaker 1: and I figured he would be the best. I did

1026
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 1: a kind of a cursory search to see I didn't

1027
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:39,320
Speaker 1: really find anything that was just as good, and you know,

1028
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 1: I left it at that, but I knew I was

1029
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 1: going to get questions about the Android side of things,

1030
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 1: and I don't have a very good answer except I

1031
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: think I think this might work. And it's called air Squirrels,

1032
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 1: and air Squirrels is an app that mirrors or reflects

1033
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 1: your phone screen, whether it's iOS or Android or even tablets,

1034
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:04,720
Speaker 1: fire tablets, whatever, it will mirror that on your screen

1035
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:09,439
Speaker 1: and you can use it in coordination with Zoom now

1036
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: this is eighteen dollars. And that's another thing that I

1037
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 1: like to recommend stuff that's free. And the Overviewer app

1038
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 1: is free, but it's only for iOS. So my advice

1039
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 1: is if you can find they have like a teacher's resource,

1040
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:26,320
Speaker 1: it says reflector Student. I don't know if that's for teachers,

1041
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:28,240
Speaker 1: but it looks like they have some stuff for education,

1042
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 1: So I would check to see maybe just google air Squirrels,

1043
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 1: you know, teacher and see if they have a special

1044
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:36,759
Speaker 1: deal for teachers. But that's what I would recommend looking into.

1045
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 1: I think it'll work, and I think it'll work with

1046
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 1: your Samsung and I think that's the best advice that

1047
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,840
Speaker 1: I have. But the one for iOS is called Overviewer.

1048
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:48,680
Speaker 1: It's completely free. Otherwise, check out air Squirrels Reflector if

1049
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: you're on the Android side of things. But great question, Kathy,

1050
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 1: And yes I did try to have your back with Android,

1051
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 1: but I just didn't come up with a free solution

1052
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 1: for that. Ope, that's it. That's the sound of the music.

1053
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 1: That means that's gonna do it for this episode of

1054
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: the show. If you'd like to submit a question for

1055
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:12,320
Speaker 1: me to answer, there are two ways to do. Just

1056
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 1: that go to Richontech dot tv slash podcast and hit

1057
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 1: the microphone button to leave a voicemail, or, better yet,

1058
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 1: go to my Facebook page Facebook dot com slash rich

1059
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:25,800
Speaker 1: on Tech hit the big blue send email button. Also,

1060
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 1: I would love it if you would rate and review

1061
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 1: this podcast to help other people discover it. Clearly some

1062
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 1: of you heard me and I got I think like

1063
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:38,879
Speaker 1: three reviews since the last time we talked, and it's

1064
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 1: very easy to leave one. Just go to rate this
