WEBVTT - Samsung's new laptops play nice with Galaxy phones

0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Cees returns to Las Vegas for twenty twenty two. Samsung

0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:19.000
<v Speaker 1>has some really slick looking laptops, and T Mobile debuts

0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:24.840
<v Speaker 1>their own tracker. Plus your tech questions answered. What's going on?

0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:28.240
<v Speaker 1>I'mrich Demiro and this is Rich on Tech, the podcast

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:30.200
<v Speaker 1>where I talk about the tech stuff I think you

0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 1>should know about. It's also the place right answer the

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:37.519
<v Speaker 1>questions you send me. I'm the tech reporter at KTLA

0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:42.839
<v Speaker 1>Channel five in Los Angeles. Thanks for tuning into the show.

0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to me, because if you noticed, I wasn't here.

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Last week. I flew to New Jersey to see my

0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:55.000
<v Speaker 1>family for the first time in a year, marking the

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:57.480
<v Speaker 1>third time I've been on a plane during the pandemic,

0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:02.880
<v Speaker 1>and it's all been very different experiences. Number One, well

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:05.040
<v Speaker 1>these the last two times the planes were packed, so

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:09.959
<v Speaker 1>that's for starters, but overall good experience. This my flight

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:14.120
<v Speaker 1>to New Jersey. They were very particular about, you know,

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:15.959
<v Speaker 1>when to take off your mask to eat. You know,

0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>you had to you have to put it back up

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 1>in between bites anyway, all this stuff, so it was fine.

0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.959
<v Speaker 1>I did get a chance to check out a really

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:28.200
<v Speaker 1>really wild place in New Jersey called the American Dream.

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:32.600
<v Speaker 1>This is a mall that was being built for I

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 1>think like at least twenty years. I mean, this thing

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:39.880
<v Speaker 1>started out something called like Xana Do, and it just

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 1>it never came to fruition, and it just sat vacant

0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>for so long, and then finally someone purchased it. I

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 1>did some research. It looks like it's the same owners

0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 1>as the Mall of America, so they know a thing

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 1>or two about giant malls. But I'm telling you, this

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:58.720
<v Speaker 1>thing is huge. It's right outside New York City in

0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 1>the Meadowlands, if you're familiar with New Jersey at all,

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of where when I grew up it was called

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>the Continental Airlines Arena and Giants Stadium. Now, of course

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.400
<v Speaker 1>it's MetLife Arena, and I don't think the other one

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>or MetLife Stadium, and I don't think the other one

0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:15.680
<v Speaker 1>is even there anymore. But this thing has a water

0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:19.960
<v Speaker 1>park inside a theme park inside let's see mini golf

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 1>inside a Lego land type place, but not the full

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 1>like rides and all that stuff, Sea Life aquarium, no

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 1>movie theater, which I thought was kind of interesting. That

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 1>seems like an omission. But not everything was open just

0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.919
<v Speaker 1>yet because I think it just recently opened, but they're

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 1>still kind of getting stores on board and stuff. But anyway,

0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:42.919
<v Speaker 1>kind of fun. Did a little video on my YouTube

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 1>and all the various social channels, but I don't know,

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:49.040
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was interesting, you know, the mall is

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.840
<v Speaker 1>like this very I spent the most time in the

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Amazon store. I mean, isn't that wild. That's where I

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:56.799
<v Speaker 1>went After all that, I just went to the place

0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:58.919
<v Speaker 1>where I shop all the time. But it's just cool

0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 1>to see. Definitely an experience, and I can see it

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 1>being more crowded once things kind of get up and

0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 1>running a little bit more. But they do have thirty

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.640
<v Speaker 1>thousand parking spots, so I think they're prepared. No, no, uh,

0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:13.600
<v Speaker 1>the parking was free while I was there. That was

0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:15.519
<v Speaker 1>the best part. You know, they're gonna end up charging

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.080
<v Speaker 1>so much for that, but right now it's free. The

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 1>other thing I did in New Jersey was help my

0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:21.840
<v Speaker 1>family out with all their tech. Every time I go

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:25.360
<v Speaker 1>out to Jersey, you know, I'm sitting there upgrading their

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.240
<v Speaker 1>Wi Fi and just making sure everything's working properly. So

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.240
<v Speaker 1>that's always fun and always, you know, I feel like

0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 1>I have a good handle on the average person when

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.120
<v Speaker 1>it comes to technology, because I get so many emails

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 1>and stuff and you hear them on the show, but

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 1>when I go home, I really truly get that first

0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of hands on, Like, you know, the questions that

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 1>I get from my family about tech is like, wow,

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 1>this is like people just generally. I guess since I'm

0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 1>immersed in it on a daily basis and I'm following

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.280
<v Speaker 1>it so closely, I just know the nuances of everything.

0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:58.640
<v Speaker 1>But when you really just think of the average person,

0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 1>like the questions you get, it makes me realize that

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I have to start at the very basics when I

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:08.840
<v Speaker 1>present something on TV or pretty much anywhere else on

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 1>my Facebook, social media whatever. For instance, I just posted

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.800
<v Speaker 1>a video of the air tag. This is Apple's tracking

0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 1>device that we didn't really get to talk about in

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 1>the last show because there was no last show. When

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 1>it happened, I went on Brian Tong's podcast, so if

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:27.120
<v Speaker 1>you want to listen to that, you can. I talked

0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.280
<v Speaker 1>at length about the air tag and how much I

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 1>believe there the future and all this stuff. But anyway,

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 1>so I got one and I am playing around with it,

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>and I put a little video on my Instagram. The

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 1>number one question is wait a second, Rich, how do

0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.960
<v Speaker 1>you attach that to your stuff? And it just didn't

0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:44.600
<v Speaker 1>even occur to me that I would have to show

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:49.200
<v Speaker 1>people that you need like a little loop or keychain

0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 1>to attach it, which, of course Apple will gladly sell

0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:54.919
<v Speaker 1>you for twenty nine dollars. There's a bunch of third

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:58.920
<v Speaker 1>party devices that let you attach these or accessories. I

0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.200
<v Speaker 1>should say that lets you attack the air tag to things,

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 1>but I mean you've probably heard about the air tag

0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:06.600
<v Speaker 1>over and over. I'm gonna do my review next week

0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>for KTLA, but I am very, very bullish on these things.

0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:14.560
<v Speaker 1>I think that's the good one, right. I mean, Apple

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 1>has nearly a billion devices out there in the world

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:22.360
<v Speaker 1>that can help you locate these things. Chances are it's

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.279
<v Speaker 1>not gonna go lost because someone with an iPhone is

0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.120
<v Speaker 1>going to wander past your little air tag and update

0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:31.599
<v Speaker 1>its location. So I find these things to be quite

0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:36.479
<v Speaker 1>quite fascinating. Although I will say, knock on wood, is

0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 1>that wood? I don't know some others would. I have

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 1>not really lost a lot of items in the past

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:45.039
<v Speaker 1>couple of years or many years, but you never know.

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.280
<v Speaker 1>It only takes once, right, all right? Big News of

0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:54.000
<v Speaker 1>the Week CTA announcing the return to Las Vegas for

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 1>CS twenty twenty two. This is a big announcement saying

0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:02.240
<v Speaker 1>that CS will happen in Lost Vegas January fifth through eighth,

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty two. Now you might remember that I was

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.960
<v Speaker 1>a part of the All Digital CS this year. For

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.960
<v Speaker 1>CS twenty twenty one, they actually announced. You may have

0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:16.080
<v Speaker 1>forgotten about this, but they actually announced that CS was

0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 1>going to happen in Las Vegas back before, you know,

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:21.920
<v Speaker 1>like this was like six months prior or eight months

0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.080
<v Speaker 1>whatever it was. They're like, yeah, we're still going to

0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:26.640
<v Speaker 1>have it, and then all of a sudden, it was like, uh, yeah,

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.280
<v Speaker 1>this this pandemic is a little more serious than we imagined.

0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Uh and yeah it's not happening. And that was kind

0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:36.719
<v Speaker 1>of like understandable. Now it seems wild and unfathomable that

0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:39.359
<v Speaker 1>someone would think an in person event would happen in

0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:41.960
<v Speaker 1>January of this year, But you got to remember to

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:45.240
<v Speaker 1>when this pandemic first started, we really did not know

0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.239
<v Speaker 1>anything about the scope of it. I mean, I remember

0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.679
<v Speaker 1>when I came home from work, I was like, Okay,

0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:52.400
<v Speaker 1>we're all gonna kind of, you know, take a breather

0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.600
<v Speaker 1>for two weeks, three weeks whatever, No, it turned into

0:06:55.640 --> 0:07:00.080
<v Speaker 1>like a year and I'm still working from home. So anyway,

0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.359
<v Speaker 1>CS twenty twenty two happening in Las Vegas. I already

0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:07.040
<v Speaker 1>checked hotel rooms. Yes, they're already expensive. But they do

0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:12.200
<v Speaker 1>say that there will be a digital aspect to this.

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.320
<v Speaker 1>So the CS anchor Desk, which debuted at CS twenty

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty one, will travel to Las Vegas and connect the

0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:22.040
<v Speaker 1>digital audience with everything. And so the big question is,

0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, there was four of us at the digital

0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:30.360
<v Speaker 1>anchor desk at CS twenty twenty one. Will any of

0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:33.440
<v Speaker 1>us get that phone call to come back and do

0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 1>the anchor desk again for CS twenty twenty two. So

0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 1>it was myself, I, Justine, Brian Tongue, and Naomi Kyle.

0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Will any of us be there for CS twenty twenty

0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:52.560
<v Speaker 1>two for the digital anchor desk? I don't know. I mean,

0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 1>I would be honored if they asked me back. I

0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 1>certainly don't expect them. It's not like a given, it's

0:07:57.680 --> 0:07:59.320
<v Speaker 1>not a shoe, and they may want to just rotate

0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:03.280
<v Speaker 1>different people who who knows, But anyway, I'm excited for

0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:05.880
<v Speaker 1>CS twenty twenty two. No matter what, I will be

0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:09.120
<v Speaker 1>there in Las Vegas. I can't wait because my camera

0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 1>roll was getting a little thinned out of stuff to post.

0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I get so much good stuff to post at CS

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.600
<v Speaker 1>every year. I end up posting videos from that throughout

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:22.400
<v Speaker 1>the year. In fact, I recently post a video posted

0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:25.560
<v Speaker 1>a video of I still have more stuff to post

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:29.440
<v Speaker 1>from CS twenty twenty that I'd never posted because I

0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 1>felt like at a certain point it was like too late,

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:33.320
<v Speaker 1>and then I was like eh, But I did end

0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:36.079
<v Speaker 1>up just reposting or posting something for the first time.

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, you're talking what two years later, and it

0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:42.120
<v Speaker 1>still did really well because you know, people it's the

0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:45.760
<v Speaker 1>first time they're seeing this stuff. All right, Let's get

0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:51.360
<v Speaker 1>to the first question of the day. Jam says, I

0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:53.720
<v Speaker 1>watch your TV show every day, wondering if you know

0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:57.640
<v Speaker 1>how to say photos, stories, events, and articles online independently

0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:01.000
<v Speaker 1>from other sites so that they would stay on forever.

0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:04.520
<v Speaker 1>More So, many sites remove articles after a shelf life burnout.

0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking to keep things posted for a lifetime, hoping

0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:12.080
<v Speaker 1>for free. Thanks for your advice, JM. Good question, JM.

0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:17.520
<v Speaker 1>So I would recommend for saving things. Ever, note and

0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.440
<v Speaker 1>the name just implies that it will be around forever,

0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:23.360
<v Speaker 1>when in fact, we know we've been proven over and

0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:26.280
<v Speaker 1>over that things don't necessarily last forever. But Evernote has

0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:28.120
<v Speaker 1>a pretty good track record, They've been around for a

0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.960
<v Speaker 1>long time, and they do have a free option. So

0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:35.480
<v Speaker 1>did you say, yeah, hoping for free? So basically, you

0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:38.880
<v Speaker 1>install the app on your computer and then you install

0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:41.599
<v Speaker 1>what's called the Evernote web clipper. And the reason I

0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:44.960
<v Speaker 1>would say Evernote first, I don't agree with everything Evernote does.

0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:48.120
<v Speaker 1>I feel like their application is a little bit crowded

0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:50.920
<v Speaker 1>and kind of it's gotten crowded over the years, But

0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:55.920
<v Speaker 1>I think that they have the best solution out there overall,

0:09:56.200 --> 0:10:00.400
<v Speaker 1>and their web clipper is the best you can get online.

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:02.960
<v Speaker 1>So I would say Evernote is the way to go.

0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Sign up for the free service, and you know, if

0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:08.440
<v Speaker 1>you outgrow the free service and you find that you

0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:10.920
<v Speaker 1>have to subscribe, you will end up having to pay

0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:14.800
<v Speaker 1>a little bit each year. But in the times I

0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:16.640
<v Speaker 1>had it, there's always some sort of deal that they

0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:20.600
<v Speaker 1>offered to renew. That's number one. Number two, I would

0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:24.080
<v Speaker 1>say Microsoft one Note is a is another one that's

0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:26.920
<v Speaker 1>really good. I don't find it. I don't like it

0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:31.960
<v Speaker 1>as much as as the Evernote, but I like, I

0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:35.040
<v Speaker 1>think it's a good second, and it's Microsoft. It's going

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.680
<v Speaker 1>to be around forever. They also have a web clipper,

0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:41.800
<v Speaker 1>and there's this free for fifteen gigs of storage, so

0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:44.280
<v Speaker 1>you really don't run into the situation that ever Note.

0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Evernote does it like by the month, so it's like

0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.360
<v Speaker 1>you get a certain amount like ten megabytes or something

0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:51.160
<v Speaker 1>of clipping a month. I don't know what it is,

0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:56.560
<v Speaker 1>but you know, Evernote does it. Or one Drive. One

0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:58.560
<v Speaker 1>note is linked to one drive and they do it

0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.160
<v Speaker 1>by your fifteen gigs. If you have fifteen gigs of storage,

0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't care really what you're doing with that, but

0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.480
<v Speaker 1>once you go through it, you will have to pay.

0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:07.360
<v Speaker 1>And there's some other little things that they do, I

0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:09.760
<v Speaker 1>think to try to make you pay, But for the

0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:11.760
<v Speaker 1>most part, that's a really good one as well. And

0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:13.800
<v Speaker 1>then there's other options. I mean, you can use Google

0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Keep that will do it. Google keep just doesn't really

0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:19.679
<v Speaker 1>have a good What I like about ever Know and

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.040
<v Speaker 1>one Drive is that they will clip the actual text

0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:26.280
<v Speaker 1>from articles online and also the pictures and stuff, so

0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:29.319
<v Speaker 1>it saves it kind of locally, like you're asking that

0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:34.400
<v Speaker 1>will work indefinitely, so even if the original site is

0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.960
<v Speaker 1>taken down, you'll still have your copy of it. So

0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.079
<v Speaker 1>those are the things I would recommend. Look into those things.

0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:43.720
<v Speaker 1>One of them will likely work for you. Now let's

0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:47.720
<v Speaker 1>move on to Samsung. Oh wow, Samsung. I have never

0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:54.320
<v Speaker 1>been more excited for laptops than these samsungs. I didn't

0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:56.000
<v Speaker 1>get to go hands on with these. Looks like they

0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:59.240
<v Speaker 1>did something in New York City with some media there

0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:02.400
<v Speaker 1>being in LA. I did not go out. I wasn't

0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:05.640
<v Speaker 1>actually even invited. They were inviting me at the beginning

0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:07.440
<v Speaker 1>to these things that they were doing in New York City,

0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.120
<v Speaker 1>and then they kind of just like, we're not even

0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:10.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna ask people to travel right now. So if you

0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.800
<v Speaker 1>can make it there, you know, fine, But that's fine.

0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm not no hard feelings there. But Samsung Galaxy Book

0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:21.679
<v Speaker 1>Pro and Galaxy Book Pro three sixty. So here's the

0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.520
<v Speaker 1>skinny on these. The number one, they're thin in light,

0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:26.960
<v Speaker 1>They kind of have all the features that you would

0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:30.320
<v Speaker 1>imagine a Samsung laptop would have. They kind of look

0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:34.040
<v Speaker 1>and feel like almost like a smartphone, you know, inspired

0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:37.920
<v Speaker 1>by smartphone. So some of these models have touch screens.

0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:41.120
<v Speaker 1>They've got the smart switch, which you know you used

0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.800
<v Speaker 1>to kind of take all your old files and settings

0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:45.920
<v Speaker 1>from your old laptop to your new one. Of course,

0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Windows is what they're running. Thin in light. I interviewed

0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Sam Rutherford from Gizmoto and he actually got to go

0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.120
<v Speaker 1>hands on with these, and he said he just could

0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:59.079
<v Speaker 1>not believe how thin and light they were. They were

0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:03.480
<v Speaker 1>like astonishingly thin and light. So that's really cool. Some

0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:07.679
<v Speaker 1>of them have either have LTE or five G and

0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.280
<v Speaker 1>then they've got a lot of little like pain points

0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:13.240
<v Speaker 1>that they figured out, like kind of just I don't know.

0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:16.080
<v Speaker 1>There's like a stylist you can get with some models,

0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:20.959
<v Speaker 1>touchscreen on some models. The ports, they have a lot

0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:24.640
<v Speaker 1>of them, Like you know, they have various USB C ports,

0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:30.959
<v Speaker 1>various USB ports, various thunderbolt ports, you know, headphone jack.

0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:33.920
<v Speaker 1>So there's just a lot going on here. The keyboard

0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.880
<v Speaker 1>they say they made as comfortable as possible. There's all

0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:40.120
<v Speaker 1>kinds of things like screen recording and stuff for making

0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:43.760
<v Speaker 1>you look better on video chat. And then of course

0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:46.360
<v Speaker 1>it links to your Samsung Galaxy phone or just an

0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Android phone in general really nicely. There's a lot of

0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:51.880
<v Speaker 1>integration and a lot of that stuff. You were able

0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:54.360
<v Speaker 1>to get on other Windows laptops, but this is kind

0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 1>of they worked with Microsoft and Samsung and Microsoft have

0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:01.720
<v Speaker 1>gotten really close in the whole Apple world. You know,

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Apple has such a tight ecosystem with their stuff that

0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:09.760
<v Speaker 1>these other manufacturers realize that they need something to compete

0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:12.400
<v Speaker 1>with that. And I think this Galaxy Book Pro, if

0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:15.320
<v Speaker 1>you have an Android, this is kind of the closest

0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:18.240
<v Speaker 1>you get to having an Android plus a laptop that

0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:22.360
<v Speaker 1>works seamlessly, just the way and an iPhone works with

0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.520
<v Speaker 1>a Mac laptop. And of course you can also you

0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 1>know nearby share files. I mean, your photos show up

0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:31.160
<v Speaker 1>in the gallery on the computer. There's just a lot

0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:36.640
<v Speaker 1>going on here. So available May fourteenth, the thirteen inch

0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Galaxy Book Pro starts at one thousand, the fifteen inch

0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.960
<v Speaker 1>starts at eleven hundred. Then you've got the Galaxy Pro

0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.080
<v Speaker 1>three to sixty. This is the one that has the

0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:47.680
<v Speaker 1>touchscreen and also the convertible so it bends fully backwards.

0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:50.400
<v Speaker 1>That's going to start at twelve hundred for the thirteen

0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:54.000
<v Speaker 1>inch and then thirteen hundred for the fifteen inch. And

0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:56.960
<v Speaker 1>if you order it pre order, which is now until

0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:58.920
<v Speaker 1>May thirteenth, you get one hundred and fifty dollars in

0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:03.920
<v Speaker 1>credits for a future order, or if you purchase at launch,

0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.120
<v Speaker 1>which is starting May fourteenth through May thirty, if you

0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:09.040
<v Speaker 1>get one hundred dollars credit and the hard drives on

0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:11.720
<v Speaker 1>these things. It's kind of the only sore point for me.

0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Up to five twelve gigs on the smaller models and

0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:19.160
<v Speaker 1>a terabyte on the bigger models. But I don't know.

0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if I was, if I was a Galaxy user,

0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:24.560
<v Speaker 1>I think I would have to rock one of these

0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:27.440
<v Speaker 1>laptops and I would I guess I would just go

0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:30.160
<v Speaker 1>all Premiere. I mean, we're using Premiere at KTLA to

0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:33.840
<v Speaker 1>edit our pieces for air. I personally use Final Cut

0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:37.040
<v Speaker 1>for any of my social media stuff. But I could

0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe be convinced to move over if I was switching

0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:42.120
<v Speaker 1>to an S twenty one Ultra. I don't know, just

0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:51.320
<v Speaker 1>saying all right. Next question, Charlene says bicyclist here, would

0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.200
<v Speaker 1>you have a recommendation for a communication device between riders

0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:56.640
<v Speaker 1>in a group? Would rather not depend on cell service

0:15:56.680 --> 0:16:00.880
<v Speaker 1>more of a hands free walkie talkie? Thank you? This

0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:04.040
<v Speaker 1>is an interesting question. I don't know, I'm not I'm

0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:07.600
<v Speaker 1>sure the biker community out there knows of something that

0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:10.600
<v Speaker 1>maybe I'm just not thinking of. But to me, I'm

0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:14.600
<v Speaker 1>so kind of cell phone centric that I'm not really sure.

0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you could just spring for regular walkie talkies,

0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:19.600
<v Speaker 1>would that work? I mean, just clip them to your bike.

0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:22.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure they have those, like you know, those little

0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:26.800
<v Speaker 1>attachments that you can put on your shirt or something

0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.360
<v Speaker 1>that I don't know. I mean, you're you're saying you're bicyclists,

0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:33.040
<v Speaker 1>so I'm sure you're not going as fast as a motorcycle.

0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking more motorcycle where there'd be a lot of

0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.120
<v Speaker 1>wind noise, and how do you even communicate you need

0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:39.400
<v Speaker 1>something in your ear? But I think you can get

0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:41.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, just regular walkie talkies with a head piece.

0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Just start with that perhaps, But if you're in a group,

0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I mean, how many people can use

0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:50.600
<v Speaker 1>walkie talkies with I don't know. It's just there's the

0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:53.840
<v Speaker 1>other thing there's on Apple Watch. They have the walkie

0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:56.800
<v Speaker 1>talkie feature which you could also use, but again you

0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.360
<v Speaker 1>would have to have you know, cell phone service with that.

0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:03.160
<v Speaker 1>And then there's something called Zello, which I know this

0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:07.600
<v Speaker 1>app is very popular. This was kind of I don't

0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:09.760
<v Speaker 1>know what the deal was with this during the whole

0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:12.400
<v Speaker 1>like fire season and all that stuff. But Zello has

0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:15.680
<v Speaker 1>some stuff, so I would check out ze Lllo dot com.

0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:18.520
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know. If you have a suggestion, at

0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:20.359
<v Speaker 1>me at rich on tech on Twitter and let me

0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:22.680
<v Speaker 1>know what would you suggest for bicyclists to keep in

0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:26.520
<v Speaker 1>touch kind of a lah walkie talkie. I don't know.

0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:31.359
<v Speaker 1>I just think smartphone, smartphone, smartphone, But maybe there's something

0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:35.840
<v Speaker 1>that's so obvious I'm just not really thinking about. All right,

0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:39.440
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about T Mobile. Now. We talked about the

0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:41.800
<v Speaker 1>air tag, which I'm very bullish on, but the air

0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.600
<v Speaker 1>tag is not really meant to keep track of people

0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:49.360
<v Speaker 1>or of things that are you know, It's really meant

0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:52.000
<v Speaker 1>for items, right, And so when you think about sort

0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:55.440
<v Speaker 1>of your dog or a kid, you might want maybe

0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:58.879
<v Speaker 1>more of a full fledged tracking device. And T Mobile

0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:02.080
<v Speaker 1>has something that might fit the bill. This is called

0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:06.200
<v Speaker 1>the sync up Tracker, and this is more of a

0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:11.760
<v Speaker 1>like almost like a digital GPS device. So this is

0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:16.800
<v Speaker 1>it works on T mobiles LTE network. So this does

0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:19.600
<v Speaker 1>have a cellular connection built in, which the air tag

0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:23.399
<v Speaker 1>does not. It works with iOS and Android, which the

0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:27.240
<v Speaker 1>air tag only works with iOS. It's available Friday, May seventh.

0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:30.440
<v Speaker 1>And the reality here is that this is more of

0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:35.399
<v Speaker 1>a GPS tracker, and so you can set virtual boundaries.

0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:38.719
<v Speaker 1>So if you set a boundary for your kid at school,

0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:42.680
<v Speaker 1>you'll get a notification when this tracker leaves that boundary,

0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:45.879
<v Speaker 1>so that's kind of cool. It does not need to

0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:48.400
<v Speaker 1>be near a smartphone to work, so this just connects

0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:51.520
<v Speaker 1>directly to the cellular network, unlike the air tag, which

0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:55.639
<v Speaker 1>does need to piggyback off of phones. You can ring

0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.000
<v Speaker 1>it when it's lost. You've got a light sensor, so

0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:01.040
<v Speaker 1>it can even sense when it from light to dark

0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:04.480
<v Speaker 1>or dark to light. So let's say you put it

0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:08.520
<v Speaker 1>in something and someone opens that like a refrigerator door,

0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:11.920
<v Speaker 1>you would get a notification. It's also water and dust

0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:14.639
<v Speaker 1>resistant IP sixty seven, which is the same as the

0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:17.560
<v Speaker 1>air tag, and it has a nine hundred million hour

0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:21.560
<v Speaker 1>rechargeable battery, so this is rechargeable versus the air tag,

0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:25.200
<v Speaker 1>which has a replaceable battery. But the battery on T

0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Mobile's device only lasts for seven days, and that makes

0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:32.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of sense because it is constantly using cellular

0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:35.359
<v Speaker 1>to ping the network and use that and grab a

0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:37.800
<v Speaker 1>GPS location, So it's not going to last as long

0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:42.160
<v Speaker 1>as what Apple has, which is just basically using Bluetooth

0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:46.320
<v Speaker 1>low energy to ping a cell phone that's nearby, or

0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:50.000
<v Speaker 1>cell phone pings, I don't know either way. It's also

0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:54.160
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more expensive sixty dollars and then five

0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:57.119
<v Speaker 1>dollars a month for data. So again at first, at

0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:59.080
<v Speaker 1>first thought, you might be like, rich, why would I

0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:02.440
<v Speaker 1>ever Why would I ever get something like the sink

0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:05.280
<v Speaker 1>up tracker when I could get the air tag for

0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:08.159
<v Speaker 1>half the price and no monthly fee. Well, they are

0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:13.480
<v Speaker 1>very different devices. The sync up tracker would be probably

0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:16.240
<v Speaker 1>something more along the lines of what I would put

0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:19.000
<v Speaker 1>on a dog, or more along the lines of what

0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:21.400
<v Speaker 1>I would clip to my kids backpack to keep track

0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:26.000
<v Speaker 1>of them, more so than the than the air tag,

0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:28.080
<v Speaker 1>which is not really meant for kids. It's not really

0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:30.359
<v Speaker 1>meant for pets, but I know people are going to

0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:33.520
<v Speaker 1>use it for that. But we'll see as people experience

0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:36.120
<v Speaker 1>these things just how well they will work with kids

0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:39.760
<v Speaker 1>and pets. Because you know, there are some things built

0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:42.520
<v Speaker 1>into the to the air tag that makes it not

0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:47.320
<v Speaker 1>a good solution for third party clips. You know, when

0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:49.119
<v Speaker 1>you're when you're clipping it to something that is not

0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:52.440
<v Speaker 1>near your phone all the time. It it does some

0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:54.639
<v Speaker 1>things to make sure that it's not being used in

0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:57.480
<v Speaker 1>a nefarious way. So we'll have to see if that

0:20:57.560 --> 0:21:00.680
<v Speaker 1>does work with kids and backpacks all that stuff. But

0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:05.320
<v Speaker 1>our kids and dogs, I should say so. Anyway, I

0:21:05.400 --> 0:21:07.240
<v Speaker 1>think we're gonna see a lot more of these trackers

0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:11.960
<v Speaker 1>out in the marketplace, just because battery technology is getting better.

0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Cellular companies want to make money on their networks, and

0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:18.600
<v Speaker 1>you know we already see that. Samsung is coming out

0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:22.800
<v Speaker 1>with They announced at their Galaxy Unpacked event. They made

0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:25.439
<v Speaker 1>a big deal about their oh gosh, what did they

0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:29.320
<v Speaker 1>call it? They called it the Galaxy Oh did they

0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:32.760
<v Speaker 1>mention it in here? The smart Things Find, that's what

0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:35.760
<v Speaker 1>they call Smart Things Find, and they say they have

0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:40.560
<v Speaker 1>like sixty eight million devices on their network to help

0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:44.000
<v Speaker 1>people find stuff. So it's it's you know, we're never

0:21:44.040 --> 0:21:46.399
<v Speaker 1>going to be lost ever again, folks. This is just

0:21:46.480 --> 0:21:48.879
<v Speaker 1>the way it is. You try to go on vacation

0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:52.280
<v Speaker 1>and get lost in you know the world around you,

0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:55.320
<v Speaker 1>and you can't. Someone's tracking you. You're tracking yourself, you're

0:21:55.320 --> 0:21:58.040
<v Speaker 1>tracking your stuff, You're getting updates about where your stuff is.

0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:03.159
<v Speaker 1>It's just the way the world is these days. And

0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:04.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't blame you. I mean it's tough for me

0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:08.680
<v Speaker 1>to go offline, it really is. It's not easy, Gloria

0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:11.879
<v Speaker 1>says your recommendation as my first cell phone was an

0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:14.480
<v Speaker 1>iPhone twelve, which is eight hundred dollars. But after that

0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:17.000
<v Speaker 1>you spoke of the Samsung A thirty two to five G.

0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:19.879
<v Speaker 1>Since the Samsung would be a lot less money than

0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:22.159
<v Speaker 1>the iPhone twelve, which you recommend the Samsung as a

0:22:22.200 --> 0:22:25.120
<v Speaker 1>better buy for my first phone? Or should I stick

0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:27.280
<v Speaker 1>with buying the iPhone twelve. I'll only be using the

0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:29.760
<v Speaker 1>phone for general use. I won't be streaming movies, won't

0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:32.040
<v Speaker 1>be playing video games, and I'll only be using the

0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:34.679
<v Speaker 1>camera at once in a while. Even though the iPhone

0:22:34.680 --> 0:22:36.720
<v Speaker 1>twelve is more money, I would not hesitate to buy

0:22:36.840 --> 0:22:38.639
<v Speaker 1>if it turned out the iPhone twelve would be a

0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:47.600
<v Speaker 1>better buy, Gloria. Well, interesting question, Gloria. So I don't

0:22:47.680 --> 0:22:50.000
<v Speaker 1>I have knockne hands on with the A thirty two. Now,

0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:53.040
<v Speaker 1>I will tell you that I do have the Samsung

0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Galaxy A fifty two five G which they sent me

0:22:56.800 --> 0:22:59.119
<v Speaker 1>to test out. And this is still this is five

0:22:59.240 --> 0:23:03.480
<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars, not as inexpensive as the A thirty two G,

0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:06.680
<v Speaker 1>but it's oh wow, interesting. It looks just like a

0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:11.040
<v Speaker 1>Mini S twenty one Ultra. I got to turn that on. Ah.

0:23:11.160 --> 0:23:13.879
<v Speaker 1>But here's my feeling. You are buying a phone that

0:23:13.960 --> 0:23:16.280
<v Speaker 1>I think you are going to use for a while.

0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:19.159
<v Speaker 1>And I think that the iPhone twelve is going to

0:23:19.320 --> 0:23:22.920
<v Speaker 1>age better than the Samsung A thirty two. And I

0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:26.120
<v Speaker 1>know Samsung is guaranteeing years of updates, probably three years

0:23:26.119 --> 0:23:29.240
<v Speaker 1>of updates perhaps with the A thirty two. Don't quote

0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:30.679
<v Speaker 1>me on that, but that's kind of what they've been

0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:33.920
<v Speaker 1>doing lately, and in fact, it might even be four

0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:37.520
<v Speaker 1>at this point. But I feel like the iPhone is

0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:40.520
<v Speaker 1>easier in several ways. Number One, there's a lot more

0:23:40.560 --> 0:23:44.240
<v Speaker 1>accessories for it. Number Two, it's kind of a universal device,

0:23:44.280 --> 0:23:46.560
<v Speaker 1>at least here in the US, which means if you

0:23:46.640 --> 0:23:48.600
<v Speaker 1>need help with it, someone's going to be able to

0:23:48.640 --> 0:23:50.880
<v Speaker 1>help you, whether that's a friend or family member, they're

0:23:50.880 --> 0:23:53.200
<v Speaker 1>going to be familiar with it. You also have the

0:23:54.160 --> 0:23:56.719
<v Speaker 1>Genius Bar at the Apple Store, so if you ever

0:23:56.800 --> 0:23:59.320
<v Speaker 1>get into a problem with it anywhere you are in

0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:01.280
<v Speaker 1>the world, you'll be able to walk into a store

0:24:01.359 --> 0:24:04.119
<v Speaker 1>and get help. And I think the lifetime of that

0:24:04.240 --> 0:24:05.960
<v Speaker 1>phone is going to just be a little bit better

0:24:06.040 --> 0:24:08.680
<v Speaker 1>and a little bit longer than the A thirty two

0:24:08.800 --> 0:24:11.520
<v Speaker 1>five G, which might show some signs of age after

0:24:12.080 --> 0:24:14.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, two years, Whereas the iPhone twelve, I think

0:24:14.680 --> 0:24:17.840
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna get a good, solid four years, if not longer,

0:24:18.520 --> 0:24:21.160
<v Speaker 1>of use out of that device. So when you say

0:24:21.480 --> 0:24:24.040
<v Speaker 1>you want a better buy, I think the iPhone twelve

0:24:24.320 --> 0:24:27.200
<v Speaker 1>is going to be your best buy. Nothing against the

0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:29.720
<v Speaker 1>A thirty two. I think that's a great little phone

0:24:29.840 --> 0:24:32.920
<v Speaker 1>for an inexpensive device. And you say you're not using

0:24:32.960 --> 0:24:34.760
<v Speaker 1>your device very much, But I just think for all

0:24:34.840 --> 0:24:37.520
<v Speaker 1>the reasons I mentioned, the iPhone twelve just might be

0:24:37.560 --> 0:24:40.560
<v Speaker 1>a better buy for your first phone, because yes, it's

0:24:40.640 --> 0:24:44.359
<v Speaker 1>more expensive, but do the math over a couple of years,

0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:46.920
<v Speaker 1>and it's gonna work itself out, and you're gonna have

0:24:47.000 --> 0:24:49.080
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more of a support system with that,

0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:54.440
<v Speaker 1>better apps, better accessories, and overall, I think that might

0:24:54.560 --> 0:24:58.760
<v Speaker 1>be just a better way to go. All right, let's

0:24:58.800 --> 0:25:03.199
<v Speaker 1>talk about the Should I do another question? Yeah, let

0:25:03.240 --> 0:25:05.960
<v Speaker 1>me do another question. Let's do another question. Wow, I

0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:09.520
<v Speaker 1>never do this, rich? Are you a what's what's going on?

0:25:09.560 --> 0:25:11.119
<v Speaker 1>Why are you're doing two questions in a row? I

0:25:11.200 --> 0:25:14.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know why not surface pro does not wake up?

0:25:14.160 --> 0:25:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Says Marta. Dear Rich, I love your tech advice. So

0:25:16.400 --> 0:25:18.240
<v Speaker 1>here I am with a cry for help. I have

0:25:18.280 --> 0:25:21.640
<v Speaker 1>a surface Pro seven, which I bought a couple months ago.

0:25:21.840 --> 0:25:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Suddenly it does not wake up. I read it's a

0:25:24.520 --> 0:25:26.680
<v Speaker 1>common problem, but my case is not fixable and I

0:25:26.760 --> 0:25:29.280
<v Speaker 1>need to send it in for repairs. I need to

0:25:29.320 --> 0:25:31.000
<v Speaker 1>wipe off all my data. But how can I do

0:25:31.119 --> 0:25:33.520
<v Speaker 1>that if my computer does not wake up. I understand

0:25:33.560 --> 0:25:35.200
<v Speaker 1>you're a super busy guy, but if you are able,

0:25:35.240 --> 0:25:39.040
<v Speaker 1>would you please give me some advice? Thanks? Marta. Good

0:25:39.320 --> 0:25:42.320
<v Speaker 1>good question, Marta, and I love that you are trying

0:25:42.359 --> 0:25:46.359
<v Speaker 1>to protect your personal information by asking this question. And

0:25:46.520 --> 0:25:48.760
<v Speaker 1>so this is a tough one. Your computer doesn't turn

0:25:48.800 --> 0:25:50.280
<v Speaker 1>it on, but you have to send it in. So

0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:52.680
<v Speaker 1>what do you do? What do you do with a

0:25:52.720 --> 0:25:58.040
<v Speaker 1>computer that doesn't turn on? Well? Two things. I hope

0:25:58.119 --> 0:26:01.720
<v Speaker 1>you have a password on your computer. That's number one.

0:26:02.320 --> 0:26:04.800
<v Speaker 1>I hope you've got a password protecting all of your data.

0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:08.160
<v Speaker 1>If you don't, I would not send it in personally.

0:26:09.320 --> 0:26:11.920
<v Speaker 1>That's number one. Number two, I hope you have a

0:26:12.000 --> 0:26:14.560
<v Speaker 1>backup of your data. So if you have a backup

0:26:14.640 --> 0:26:17.239
<v Speaker 1>of your data, here's what I think. Okay, so if

0:26:17.280 --> 0:26:21.640
<v Speaker 1>you have a backup and your computer's password protected, normally

0:26:22.000 --> 0:26:24.080
<v Speaker 1>I would not say to send it in, But in

0:26:24.160 --> 0:26:25.959
<v Speaker 1>this case, if you have to send it in, that's

0:26:26.000 --> 0:26:27.800
<v Speaker 1>your only option. You're going to have to trust the

0:26:27.880 --> 0:26:31.240
<v Speaker 1>system and send it in. Now, if you have a

0:26:31.280 --> 0:26:33.720
<v Speaker 1>password on your computer, there's not much that they're going

0:26:33.760 --> 0:26:35.720
<v Speaker 1>to be able to do to bypass that. Yeah, there

0:26:35.760 --> 0:26:39.080
<v Speaker 1>could be ways of them bypassing, but in general, you know,

0:26:39.080 --> 0:26:41.040
<v Speaker 1>if you're sending it to a reputable outlet, they're not

0:26:41.080 --> 0:26:43.159
<v Speaker 1>going to try to bypass your password. They're going to

0:26:44.640 --> 0:26:49.040
<v Speaker 1>either sign in, you know, create a new administrator account

0:26:49.160 --> 0:26:52.560
<v Speaker 1>or something if they can, if that's even possible, or

0:26:52.880 --> 0:26:54.679
<v Speaker 1>they're just going to try to work on your computer

0:26:54.840 --> 0:26:58.959
<v Speaker 1>and get it started without getting into your account. If

0:26:59.000 --> 0:27:01.359
<v Speaker 1>they ask you for your passas word, which has happened

0:27:01.400 --> 0:27:04.000
<v Speaker 1>to me. I've brought my laptop in places and they're like, oh,

0:27:04.080 --> 0:27:07.880
<v Speaker 1>can you write down your password? Uh uh, no way,

0:27:07.920 --> 0:27:09.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm not doing that. No way shape or form my

0:27:09.920 --> 0:27:12.720
<v Speaker 1>writing down my password for anyone, And if you need

0:27:12.800 --> 0:27:16.320
<v Speaker 1>it to get into this system, then I will go elsewhere.

0:27:17.000 --> 0:27:18.520
<v Speaker 1>And so I was just in the U Break I

0:27:18.640 --> 0:27:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Fixed store in Los Angeles and they were saying that, yeah,

0:27:23.119 --> 0:27:25.440
<v Speaker 1>people bring their phones in all the time and don't

0:27:25.600 --> 0:27:27.800
<v Speaker 1>know their password or they you know, they don't know

0:27:27.840 --> 0:27:29.600
<v Speaker 1>how to get into the phone, and there's really nothing

0:27:29.680 --> 0:27:31.640
<v Speaker 1>they can do to get in. Now. I know that's

0:27:31.680 --> 0:27:33.920
<v Speaker 1>a phone versus a laptop. Here. There might be something

0:27:33.960 --> 0:27:35.879
<v Speaker 1>on Windows that I don't know about that lets you

0:27:36.520 --> 0:27:38.879
<v Speaker 1>get into someone's account without having their password, but I

0:27:38.920 --> 0:27:43.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know of that. Maybe there is, maybe the administrator profile.

0:27:44.040 --> 0:27:48.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure. But what I would do is if

0:27:48.119 --> 0:27:50.520
<v Speaker 1>you have a backup, then just send it in and

0:27:50.880 --> 0:27:53.280
<v Speaker 1>just hope for the best. Now, the thing is they're

0:27:53.320 --> 0:27:56.520
<v Speaker 1>probably gonna have to wipe your computer clean, which means

0:27:57.480 --> 0:27:59.320
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna lose all your data. So if you don't

0:27:59.400 --> 0:28:01.320
<v Speaker 1>have a good bath, that's going to be a problem.

0:28:02.000 --> 0:28:05.160
<v Speaker 1>In that case, I would find a local repair place

0:28:05.359 --> 0:28:08.320
<v Speaker 1>and see what they say. So what they were telling

0:28:08.400 --> 0:28:11.240
<v Speaker 1>me is that what they'll do at the you break

0:28:11.280 --> 0:28:13.800
<v Speaker 1>I Fix if you can't remember your password on the

0:28:13.880 --> 0:28:16.680
<v Speaker 1>phone and they're you know, there's some sort of water

0:28:16.840 --> 0:28:20.000
<v Speaker 1>damage or whatever that's keeping it from working. They will

0:28:20.040 --> 0:28:23.280
<v Speaker 1>what they call frankenstein it. They will do whatever they

0:28:23.400 --> 0:28:26.560
<v Speaker 1>can to preserve your data, but just get the device

0:28:26.640 --> 0:28:29.879
<v Speaker 1>to turn on and make it get to a screen

0:28:29.920 --> 0:28:32.280
<v Speaker 1>where you can put in your password and recover your data.

0:28:32.760 --> 0:28:34.680
<v Speaker 1>So that's what they told me, and that's what I

0:28:34.680 --> 0:28:36.639
<v Speaker 1>would hope they would do here as well with your

0:28:36.800 --> 0:28:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Surface Pro seven. But yeah, the bottom line is that

0:28:39.360 --> 0:28:42.600
<v Speaker 1>you never really want to send something in that has

0:28:42.760 --> 0:28:46.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's unlocked, number one, and if it has

0:28:46.040 --> 0:28:48.840
<v Speaker 1>a password protection, I would probably I would not feel

0:28:49.000 --> 0:28:52.960
<v Speaker 1>comfortable sending that in, even though I actually I have

0:28:53.200 --> 0:28:56.600
<v Speaker 1>done that. I have left mine with a password on

0:28:56.760 --> 0:28:58.960
<v Speaker 1>it to get it repaired when my hard drive failed.

0:28:59.040 --> 0:29:01.880
<v Speaker 1>So but they did ask me to give them a passport,

0:29:01.920 --> 0:29:04.280
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, no, I'm not doing that. Apple.

0:29:04.560 --> 0:29:06.280
<v Speaker 1>I think they just tell you, look, we can't really

0:29:06.360 --> 0:29:11.000
<v Speaker 1>do anything with your computer outside of your password, like

0:29:11.120 --> 0:29:13.040
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna have to either wipe this or you know,

0:29:13.120 --> 0:29:15.840
<v Speaker 1>your your data mayor they don't guarantee that your data

0:29:15.840 --> 0:29:18.520
<v Speaker 1>will be safe. Let's put it that way. So that

0:29:18.920 --> 0:29:21.640
<v Speaker 1>is my advice. I know it's always This is why

0:29:21.680 --> 0:29:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I say you got to have a backup got to

0:29:23.160 --> 0:29:24.920
<v Speaker 1>have a backup, got to have a backup, because you

0:29:25.200 --> 0:29:27.320
<v Speaker 1>never know what is going to happen with your device.

0:29:27.720 --> 0:29:30.840
<v Speaker 1>It can happen at a moment's notice, and when it does, ah,

0:29:31.240 --> 0:29:36.360
<v Speaker 1>it's the worst feeling in the world. All right, let's

0:29:36.400 --> 0:29:40.440
<v Speaker 1>move on to Amazon. They've got some new tablets this week.

0:29:41.480 --> 0:29:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Amazon is so funny. They just release stuff. They are like,

0:29:45.520 --> 0:29:49.760
<v Speaker 1>secretly the world's biggest consumer electronics company. Like I think

0:29:49.840 --> 0:29:51.880
<v Speaker 1>they might sell as many things as Apple. I don't

0:29:51.880 --> 0:29:54.800
<v Speaker 1>even know, but they just release so many products. They've

0:29:54.840 --> 0:29:58.160
<v Speaker 1>got all the fire stuff, They've got all the ring stuff,

0:29:58.720 --> 0:30:01.560
<v Speaker 1>They've got all their own Amazon on essentials, Amazon based

0:30:01.640 --> 0:30:04.440
<v Speaker 1>or I guess essentials might be closed on Amazon's basics.

0:30:05.000 --> 0:30:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean they have so many, you know, all their

0:30:07.080 --> 0:30:11.560
<v Speaker 1>al Exa devices. They just have so many devices at

0:30:11.560 --> 0:30:13.960
<v Speaker 1>this point, they don't even have events anymore. They just

0:30:14.120 --> 0:30:18.240
<v Speaker 1>launch them all. They've got earbuds, they've got sunglasses or glasses.

0:30:18.320 --> 0:30:23.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's just so many things. Speakers. These are

0:30:23.080 --> 0:30:27.200
<v Speaker 1>the fire HD tablets, So fire HD tablets, you know.

0:30:27.480 --> 0:30:32.280
<v Speaker 1>I I see them as very mass market. They're very inexpensive,

0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:34.440
<v Speaker 1>which which leads a lot of people to purchase them.

0:30:34.720 --> 0:30:37.200
<v Speaker 1>I've never felt felt they were very good, but I

0:30:37.240 --> 0:30:40.040
<v Speaker 1>felt like they've been okay for like a device that is,

0:30:40.440 --> 0:30:43.080
<v Speaker 1>if you're just trying to basically watch videos on them

0:30:43.200 --> 0:30:45.880
<v Speaker 1>and maybe read a book or something. You know, if

0:30:45.880 --> 0:30:47.720
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna just read a book, I'd go with a Kindle.

0:30:47.840 --> 0:30:50.400
<v Speaker 1>But if you're gonna you know, just you just want

0:30:50.440 --> 0:30:53.200
<v Speaker 1>something that's kind of an entertainment device, Sure, the Fire

0:30:53.320 --> 0:30:55.719
<v Speaker 1>ten is gonna be fine. I always recommend the iPad

0:30:55.800 --> 0:30:58.320
<v Speaker 1>for three twenty nine no matter what, because it's going

0:30:58.400 --> 0:31:01.120
<v Speaker 1>to have the best accessories, going to have the best apps.

0:31:01.480 --> 0:31:04.200
<v Speaker 1>But if you must and money and budget is your

0:31:04.360 --> 0:31:07.680
<v Speaker 1>number one concern, yeah, the Fire HD is going to

0:31:07.720 --> 0:31:10.720
<v Speaker 1>be just fine. Now, the Fire HD ten is kind

0:31:10.760 --> 0:31:13.320
<v Speaker 1>of their top of the line tablet because it's got

0:31:13.320 --> 0:31:15.959
<v Speaker 1>a bigger screen and it usually has slightly better specs

0:31:16.000 --> 0:31:18.840
<v Speaker 1>than the Fire than the eights. So now they have

0:31:18.920 --> 0:31:21.880
<v Speaker 1>a new Fire HD ten and HD ten plus, and

0:31:21.960 --> 0:31:26.040
<v Speaker 1>they've got some you know, some upgrades to these, better performance,

0:31:26.600 --> 0:31:30.600
<v Speaker 1>a brighter full HD display, better design, and they've got

0:31:30.760 --> 0:31:34.840
<v Speaker 1>some interesting productivity things that they've done with these. And

0:31:35.240 --> 0:31:39.600
<v Speaker 1>generally Amazon has never sold these as productivity devices, but

0:31:39.800 --> 0:31:43.800
<v Speaker 1>now you can get a detachable keyboard, and some stuff

0:31:43.840 --> 0:31:46.480
<v Speaker 1>from Microsoft to make it more of a productivity device.

0:31:46.560 --> 0:31:48.040
<v Speaker 1>So I have k not gone hands on with these.

0:31:48.120 --> 0:31:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I requested them from Amazon so I can test them.

0:31:51.240 --> 0:31:55.240
<v Speaker 1>But I'm curious because I would never think that you

0:31:55.240 --> 0:31:57.800
<v Speaker 1>would use this for work, but if you could do

0:31:57.880 --> 0:32:00.240
<v Speaker 1>your email on it, you know, it might be a okay.

0:32:00.760 --> 0:32:05.320
<v Speaker 1>They also have fire HD ten kids tablet, and again

0:32:05.840 --> 0:32:08.680
<v Speaker 1>with the kids stuff. I always like the iPad because

0:32:08.720 --> 0:32:11.680
<v Speaker 1>I just feel like it's more, it's it's friendlier to kids.

0:32:12.280 --> 0:32:14.360
<v Speaker 1>But I know a lot of parents get the fire

0:32:14.400 --> 0:32:17.720
<v Speaker 1>tablets because they're inexpensive and they just sort of work.

0:32:17.880 --> 0:32:20.680
<v Speaker 1>But I just think the iPad is better in that aspect.

0:32:20.720 --> 0:32:23.719
<v Speaker 1>But let's go over the new features. Fire HD ten

0:32:23.760 --> 0:32:26.960
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and fifty bucks. It's got some sort of

0:32:27.040 --> 0:32:29.480
<v Speaker 1>processor in it. Three gigs a RAM, which is fifty

0:32:29.520 --> 0:32:32.320
<v Speaker 1>percent more, so that's one gig of RAM more. Oh

0:32:32.400 --> 0:32:35.960
<v Speaker 1>my gosh. It's got a ten point one inch ten

0:32:36.040 --> 0:32:40.040
<v Speaker 1>eighty full HD display. It's ten percent brighter, it's got

0:32:40.080 --> 0:32:42.400
<v Speaker 1>a thinner bezel. It's got all day battery life, twelve

0:32:42.440 --> 0:32:45.719
<v Speaker 1>hours of battery, plenty of storage, thirty two or sixty

0:32:45.800 --> 0:32:48.840
<v Speaker 1>four plus support for a one up to a terabyte

0:32:48.880 --> 0:32:51.160
<v Speaker 1>microSD card slot. So I always like that about the

0:32:51.800 --> 0:32:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Amazon Fire HD tablets is that they have that microSD

0:32:54.840 --> 0:32:57.280
<v Speaker 1>card slot, which means you can pretty much put a

0:32:57.280 --> 0:32:59.000
<v Speaker 1>whole bunch of memory in this thing. So by the

0:32:59.080 --> 0:33:02.040
<v Speaker 1>cheapest one and just put the memory in it. It's

0:33:02.080 --> 0:33:05.680
<v Speaker 1>got a two megapixel front facing camera. I'm not sure

0:33:05.680 --> 0:33:08.800
<v Speaker 1>if that's improved or not. They don't say, let's see,

0:33:08.800 --> 0:33:11.200
<v Speaker 1>you've got a headphone jack, which is cool. It's always

0:33:11.280 --> 0:33:15.720
<v Speaker 1>nice to have. And let's see, for thirty dollars more

0:33:16.320 --> 0:33:20.320
<v Speaker 1>so you're talking one eighty, you get four gigs of rams,

0:33:20.360 --> 0:33:25.960
<v Speaker 1>so one extra gigabyte, and then a premium finish wireless charging,

0:33:26.080 --> 0:33:28.760
<v Speaker 1>which I guess, I you know what, I guess the

0:33:28.840 --> 0:33:30.920
<v Speaker 1>wireless charging would be kind of cool with the tablet.

0:33:31.120 --> 0:33:33.320
<v Speaker 1>I leave mine plugged in at all times on my desk,

0:33:33.440 --> 0:33:35.080
<v Speaker 1>but it would be kind of nice to just have

0:33:35.160 --> 0:33:38.480
<v Speaker 1>it resting on a wireless charger and it's just always ready,

0:33:38.640 --> 0:33:41.200
<v Speaker 1>you know. So that's kind of cool. Now, this is

0:33:41.240 --> 0:33:43.760
<v Speaker 1>where it gets interesting. So two hundred and twenty dollars,

0:33:43.800 --> 0:33:48.360
<v Speaker 1>which is a full fifty six seventy dollars more than

0:33:48.400 --> 0:33:52.200
<v Speaker 1>the original. You get a Productivity bundle which includes the

0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Fire HD ten or a fire HD ten plus, and

0:33:55.600 --> 0:33:59.960
<v Speaker 1>it includes a detachable keyboard case. So that is interesting,

0:34:00.680 --> 0:34:03.400
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I feel like they've had a keyboard

0:34:03.480 --> 0:34:05.400
<v Speaker 1>case in the past, and I'm sure there's been some,

0:34:05.960 --> 0:34:08.919
<v Speaker 1>but this is interesting that you now have a keyboard case,

0:34:09.680 --> 0:34:14.759
<v Speaker 1>and that's kind of nice. It magnetically attaches, you know,

0:34:14.880 --> 0:34:17.040
<v Speaker 1>for you to check email, take notes, browse the internet.

0:34:17.080 --> 0:34:19.160
<v Speaker 1>But here's the other thing that's interesting. You get a

0:34:19.280 --> 0:34:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Microsoft three sixty five Personal subscription which is twelve months,

0:34:23.800 --> 0:34:26.960
<v Speaker 1>which comes to the terabyte of cloud storage, and that

0:34:27.160 --> 0:34:30.360
<v Speaker 1>alone would be just seventy dollars for the year. So

0:34:31.520 --> 0:34:36.200
<v Speaker 1>for two hundred and twenty dollars, which is again fifty

0:34:36.280 --> 0:34:39.759
<v Speaker 1>sixty seventy dollars more, I would go with the you're

0:34:39.800 --> 0:34:43.200
<v Speaker 1>basically getting a Microsoft three sixty five subscription for a

0:34:43.280 --> 0:34:46.400
<v Speaker 1>year and a detachable keyboard case. Now you might not

0:34:46.560 --> 0:34:48.920
<v Speaker 1>need that Microsoft three sixty five because you use all

0:34:49.000 --> 0:34:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Google stuff, but it's interesting that you get all these

0:34:52.000 --> 0:34:57.040
<v Speaker 1>office apps on the Fire HD, which, if you know

0:34:57.120 --> 0:34:59.200
<v Speaker 1>anything about the fire system, the reason I don't like

0:34:59.239 --> 0:35:01.320
<v Speaker 1>it as much is be because you don't get the

0:35:01.520 --> 0:35:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Google apps so if you're trying to use you know,

0:35:05.239 --> 0:35:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Google Drive or Gmail or Chrome, none of those apps

0:35:10.239 --> 0:35:13.120
<v Speaker 1>are actually on the Fire tablet. You have to sideload them,

0:35:13.160 --> 0:35:15.840
<v Speaker 1>which is not necessarily the easiest thing to do for

0:35:15.920 --> 0:35:20.279
<v Speaker 1>the average person. So I don't know, all right, that's

0:35:20.480 --> 0:35:23.160
<v Speaker 1>the tablets, and they didn't say when they're available, but

0:35:23.480 --> 0:35:27.080
<v Speaker 1>I guess soon. By the way, I never mentioned the

0:35:27.160 --> 0:35:29.279
<v Speaker 1>chirping sound that the air tag makes. I know just

0:35:29.400 --> 0:35:31.200
<v Speaker 1>since it's on my desk. So I'm going to detach

0:35:31.360 --> 0:35:34.200
<v Speaker 1>the uh, the little battery and once you attach it,

0:35:35.000 --> 0:35:38.200
<v Speaker 1>oh well, okay, never mind, I thought I couldn't really

0:35:38.280 --> 0:35:40.920
<v Speaker 1>hear that. All right, Well, let's get to another question.

0:35:44.680 --> 0:35:46.719
<v Speaker 1>All right, Hi, Rich Hope it's okay to ask a

0:35:46.840 --> 0:35:49.960
<v Speaker 1>specific question, but I really trust your input and advice.

0:35:50.560 --> 0:35:53.600
<v Speaker 1>We're going to Alaska in August for eight days after

0:35:53.680 --> 0:35:57.160
<v Speaker 1>postponing the trip for two years. I'm going to need

0:35:57.239 --> 0:35:59.880
<v Speaker 1>a phone with a really great camera. I currently have

0:36:00.000 --> 0:36:02.279
<v Speaker 1>the Samsung seven Edge. I know it's been a while.

0:36:02.680 --> 0:36:05.480
<v Speaker 1>I want to stay in the Android phone zone or

0:36:05.680 --> 0:36:08.680
<v Speaker 1>phone verse. Any suggestions on new phones that would give

0:36:08.680 --> 0:36:11.680
<v Speaker 1>me great zoom and wide screen capabilities. That's not an

0:36:11.760 --> 0:36:15.960
<v Speaker 1>iPhone appreciate any suggestions you have. Going online to research

0:36:16.040 --> 0:36:19.319
<v Speaker 1>can be crazy making and overwhelming. Many thanks. You really

0:36:19.400 --> 0:36:24.440
<v Speaker 1>do demystify tech for us. Quote older folks, best Ava Ava.

0:36:24.920 --> 0:36:29.880
<v Speaker 1>There is one phone to know, one phone. This is it.

0:36:30.080 --> 0:36:33.080
<v Speaker 1>There is no other phone that I think given everything

0:36:33.120 --> 0:36:35.600
<v Speaker 1>that you've mentioned. You want a really great camera, you

0:36:35.680 --> 0:36:37.880
<v Speaker 1>already have a Samsung. You want to stay in Android,

0:36:37.920 --> 0:36:40.640
<v Speaker 1>you want wide screen, you want zoom. Oh my gosh,

0:36:41.239 --> 0:36:45.120
<v Speaker 1>it is the Samsung Galaxy S twenty one Ultra. That

0:36:45.320 --> 0:36:47.080
<v Speaker 1>is it. That's all you need to know. Don't read

0:36:47.120 --> 0:36:49.760
<v Speaker 1>any reviews, don't go any further. That is the phone

0:36:49.840 --> 0:36:53.400
<v Speaker 1>to get. The zoom on that phone is fantastic. It's

0:36:53.440 --> 0:36:58.319
<v Speaker 1>gonna make your pictures in Alaska. Just pop. I dig

0:36:58.520 --> 0:37:01.759
<v Speaker 1>dig dig the camera on the Samsung S twenty one Ultra.

0:37:01.880 --> 0:37:04.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm not the only one. Everyone agrees in the tech

0:37:04.880 --> 0:37:08.319
<v Speaker 1>world that it is the best Android at this point. Now,

0:37:08.560 --> 0:37:11.120
<v Speaker 1>the pixel might be nice, it might have good pictures,

0:37:11.239 --> 0:37:13.560
<v Speaker 1>but it's not gonna have the zoom that you want.

0:37:13.719 --> 0:37:16.919
<v Speaker 1>And that's why I wouldn't recommend that the one plus

0:37:17.120 --> 0:37:19.880
<v Speaker 1>nine Pro. Yeah, it might look pretty good, but it

0:37:19.960 --> 0:37:21.840
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have the zoom either. In fact, the zoom on

0:37:21.880 --> 0:37:25.840
<v Speaker 1>that phone is not very good. What would I give it?

0:37:27.200 --> 0:37:29.560
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna give it a trash sound, but I couldn't.

0:37:29.600 --> 0:37:31.400
<v Speaker 1>And I love the nine Pro, it's great. But the

0:37:31.520 --> 0:37:36.200
<v Speaker 1>S twenty one, oh gosh, I just I'm you know,

0:37:36.280 --> 0:37:38.200
<v Speaker 1>I had to send it back to Samsung, but I

0:37:38.320 --> 0:37:40.960
<v Speaker 1>really I've been looking at it on Amazon. I've been

0:37:41.000 --> 0:37:44.240
<v Speaker 1>eyeing it because the price came down two hundred dollars

0:37:44.360 --> 0:37:46.279
<v Speaker 1>and I'm kind of like, I really want to get

0:37:46.320 --> 0:37:48.560
<v Speaker 1>one of these things as my you know, as my Android,

0:37:50.120 --> 0:37:52.719
<v Speaker 1>because I just I don't know that the zoom on

0:37:52.800 --> 0:37:56.440
<v Speaker 1>that and the quality is just so nice. Samsung just

0:37:56.480 --> 0:37:59.040
<v Speaker 1>does such a nice job with their processing and it

0:37:59.160 --> 0:38:02.360
<v Speaker 1>makes pictures. Just all the pictures you're gonna take in

0:38:02.360 --> 0:38:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Alaska are just gonna look so good with that phone.

0:38:04.760 --> 0:38:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm jealous. So that's what I recommend you get a

0:38:08.680 --> 0:38:11.120
<v Speaker 1>fifty or is it one hundred times zoom on that phone.

0:38:11.160 --> 0:38:15.480
<v Speaker 1>But reality is ten times is optical, and I think

0:38:15.600 --> 0:38:18.840
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be just fine for what you're doing. And

0:38:18.920 --> 0:38:20.440
<v Speaker 1>that's as far as you want to go. Yeah, you

0:38:20.480 --> 0:38:22.680
<v Speaker 1>can go further, believe me, but I think it's gonna

0:38:22.719 --> 0:38:25.759
<v Speaker 1>look so so nice. And you're gonna get just so

0:38:25.880 --> 0:38:28.959
<v Speaker 1>many options for shooting with the S twenty one Ultra.

0:38:29.160 --> 0:38:31.319
<v Speaker 1>That is gonna be a great, great upgrade to your

0:38:31.360 --> 0:38:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Samsung S seven Edge. Right now, it is nine to

0:38:36.000 --> 0:38:39.080
<v Speaker 1>ninety nine for a one hundred and twenty eight gigabyte model.

0:38:39.760 --> 0:38:42.799
<v Speaker 1>It's weird on Amazon. It's actually one the same price

0:38:42.880 --> 0:38:44.680
<v Speaker 1>for a two fifty six, But the two fifty six

0:38:44.719 --> 0:38:47.839
<v Speaker 1>isn't shipping for like a month. So I would say,

0:38:49.040 --> 0:38:51.720
<v Speaker 1>let's see, it's the end of April, you're going in August.

0:38:51.880 --> 0:38:53.840
<v Speaker 1>You want to have this phone for a month, you know,

0:38:54.000 --> 0:38:55.719
<v Speaker 1>just to make sure you're familiar with it. So I

0:38:55.800 --> 0:38:59.200
<v Speaker 1>would say, throughout the month of May, I would just

0:38:59.480 --> 0:39:02.120
<v Speaker 1>do a little search for Samsung S twenty one Ultra

0:39:02.320 --> 0:39:05.319
<v Speaker 1>deals and see what kind of deals you can get.

0:39:05.360 --> 0:39:10.600
<v Speaker 1>You can also trade in your Samsung Edge and see

0:39:10.960 --> 0:39:13.759
<v Speaker 1>what you get for that. So I would for sure

0:39:14.040 --> 0:39:16.200
<v Speaker 1>trade that phone in. Let's see how much they'll give you.

0:39:16.239 --> 0:39:19.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to the website and let's see. So one

0:39:19.760 --> 0:39:23.480
<v Speaker 1>hundred and twenty eight gigabyte unlocked, don't forget if you

0:39:23.680 --> 0:39:27.520
<v Speaker 1>really wanna, you know, if you can't add a memory

0:39:27.560 --> 0:39:30.440
<v Speaker 1>card to this phone, so you might consider the two

0:39:30.520 --> 0:39:32.759
<v Speaker 1>fifty six if you're you know, if you're taking a

0:39:32.840 --> 0:39:36.400
<v Speaker 1>ton of videos in four K. Let's see Phantom Silver.

0:39:37.600 --> 0:39:39.360
<v Speaker 1>I kind of like the Phantom Black, but the Phantom

0:39:39.640 --> 0:39:42.720
<v Speaker 1>I love the Phantom titanium. That's that's pretty slick looking.

0:39:43.760 --> 0:39:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Maybe since it's get by June first. Okay, let's see

0:39:46.680 --> 0:39:48.800
<v Speaker 1>how much they'll give you for your trade in. So

0:39:49.040 --> 0:39:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Samsung S seven got to go all the way down

0:39:54.120 --> 0:39:55.799
<v Speaker 1>to the bottom of the list here because it's kind

0:39:55.840 --> 0:40:01.440
<v Speaker 1>of kind of aging. One hundred bucks so not too much.

0:40:01.560 --> 0:40:03.480
<v Speaker 1>But honestly, what are you gonna do with that S

0:40:03.600 --> 0:40:07.200
<v Speaker 1>seven when you're done? Okay, I picked a phone that's

0:40:07.239 --> 0:40:09.799
<v Speaker 1>way too expensive, So let's go with the silver, which

0:40:09.920 --> 0:40:13.719
<v Speaker 1>is one eight. Well I thought it was nineteen ninety nine.

0:40:13.760 --> 0:40:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Why is it saying one ninety nine? Oh? Maybe Amazon's

0:40:19.040 --> 0:40:25.120
<v Speaker 1>cheaper right now, so yeah, hm, that's odd. Anyway, check Amazon.

0:40:25.200 --> 0:40:28.439
<v Speaker 1>Check Samsung dot com and check S twenty one ultra

0:40:28.680 --> 0:40:32.680
<v Speaker 1>deals on Google as a search and hit the news

0:40:32.760 --> 0:40:35.480
<v Speaker 1>section and see if anyone's blogging about some deals that

0:40:35.719 --> 0:40:38.360
<v Speaker 1>I may not know about, or deals that are not

0:40:38.680 --> 0:40:45.040
<v Speaker 1>yet readily available. But good question. Enjoy the trip. Okay, uh,

0:40:45.520 --> 0:40:47.920
<v Speaker 1>this is a great article from nine to five Google

0:40:48.000 --> 0:40:52.719
<v Speaker 1>from Ben shon Love Love love this tip, and I

0:40:52.760 --> 0:40:57.600
<v Speaker 1>guess someone shared it on I don't know somewhere. Steph Hippo,

0:40:58.440 --> 0:41:01.960
<v Speaker 1>site reliability manager at Google, shared this little tip that

0:41:02.160 --> 0:41:04.960
<v Speaker 1>I have been I never knew I needed it, and

0:41:05.000 --> 0:41:06.719
<v Speaker 1>I knew I wanted to do this, I just never

0:41:06.800 --> 0:41:09.560
<v Speaker 1>really took the time to do it. But you know,

0:41:09.640 --> 0:41:11.680
<v Speaker 1>when you go to a website and of course you

0:41:11.800 --> 0:41:15.680
<v Speaker 1>get blasted with that whole like GDPR thing where you

0:41:15.760 --> 0:41:19.160
<v Speaker 1>have to except old cookies. I mean, oh so annoying.

0:41:19.719 --> 0:41:21.560
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, you have to do that on every website.

0:41:21.640 --> 0:41:25.520
<v Speaker 1>But then I'm kidding so excited, I'm hitting the mic.

0:41:26.160 --> 0:41:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Then you get blasted with this whole. Can we send

0:41:29.600 --> 0:41:35.120
<v Speaker 1>you notifications? No, I don't want notifications from any website.

0:41:35.320 --> 0:41:37.600
<v Speaker 1>No no, no, you're not my phone. I don't need

0:41:37.719 --> 0:41:41.000
<v Speaker 1>notifications from you on especially if you're on an Android

0:41:41.040 --> 0:41:45.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's sending you notifications, and then on your desktop

0:41:45.040 --> 0:41:48.840
<v Speaker 1>you're getting notifications. No no, no. So here's what you do.

0:41:49.120 --> 0:41:51.480
<v Speaker 1>You go into Chrome and this is I think for

0:41:51.560 --> 0:41:57.080
<v Speaker 1>the desktop, but you go into desktop Settings, Site settings,

0:41:57.239 --> 0:42:01.480
<v Speaker 1>notifications and turn every thing off you can turn off.

0:42:01.560 --> 0:42:05.800
<v Speaker 1>There's a global setting. Alternatively, you can just type Chrome

0:42:05.960 --> 0:42:09.680
<v Speaker 1>colon slash slash settings, slash content, slash notifications into your

0:42:09.760 --> 0:42:11.680
<v Speaker 1>address bar and turn it off from there. I did

0:42:11.760 --> 0:42:14.960
<v Speaker 1>this this morning, and wow, my life is so much

0:42:15.000 --> 0:42:18.280
<v Speaker 1>better and I'm not getting bombarded with every website asking

0:42:18.400 --> 0:42:22.719
<v Speaker 1>can we please send you notifications? No no, no, no no.

0:42:25.360 --> 0:42:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Life is so much better without this, all right, So

0:42:29.640 --> 0:42:31.880
<v Speaker 1>if you're on Android, you can do it. You go

0:42:31.960 --> 0:42:36.239
<v Speaker 1>into Chrome Settings Notifications, toggle each site off, or the

0:42:36.440 --> 0:42:42.000
<v Speaker 1>show notifications toggle. Not as clean as the desktop, but wow.

0:42:42.160 --> 0:42:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Thank you Ben for writing this up, Thank you Steph

0:42:44.280 --> 0:42:48.200
<v Speaker 1>for sharing this. But we all need this because I

0:42:48.640 --> 0:42:51.960
<v Speaker 1>don't need no I've seen. It's so funny because you know,

0:42:52.040 --> 0:42:53.960
<v Speaker 1>people say yes to this by accident, and all of

0:42:53.960 --> 0:42:55.960
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, I'm working on someone's computer and I see

0:42:56.000 --> 0:42:58.520
<v Speaker 1>that they get notifications from all these different websites I've

0:42:58.560 --> 0:43:00.840
<v Speaker 1>signed up for them by accident. Next thing you know,

0:43:01.080 --> 0:43:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting all kinds of notifications from a website, like

0:43:04.280 --> 0:43:06.720
<v Speaker 1>a random site, and I'm like, no, no, no, goodbye.

0:43:07.160 --> 0:43:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Don't need that. Paul asks, Hey, Rich, what's the best

0:43:15.560 --> 0:43:19.000
<v Speaker 1>way to transfer playlists from Spotify to YouTube music? Looks

0:43:19.080 --> 0:43:23.360
<v Speaker 1>like we got a switcher. Thanks Rich, appreciate it. I

0:43:23.520 --> 0:43:26.200
<v Speaker 1>did a quick search and found a website called Sounddiz

0:43:26.840 --> 0:43:31.320
<v Speaker 1>sounddiz dot com or I guess sounds dot com, sound

0:43:31.719 --> 0:43:35.480
<v Speaker 1>sounds dot com. I don't know. But you can transfer

0:43:35.760 --> 0:43:39.720
<v Speaker 1>from anything YouTube to YouTube, YouTube to Apple music, Apple

0:43:39.800 --> 0:43:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Music to Spotify, Spotify to Deezer Dezer to Napster, Napster

0:43:43.080 --> 0:43:46.360
<v Speaker 1>to Apple Music. iHeartRadio. They all looks like it has everything.

0:43:48.000 --> 0:43:55.239
<v Speaker 1>Everything is supported, so the plans are free. So there

0:43:55.360 --> 0:44:01.480
<v Speaker 1>are some free plans available and it says convert your

0:44:01.560 --> 0:44:05.280
<v Speaker 1>playlists one by one, so you know, for zero dollars

0:44:06.080 --> 0:44:10.280
<v Speaker 1>you can do playlists and up to two hundred tracks,

0:44:11.239 --> 0:44:13.480
<v Speaker 1>and it includes one sink, so if you want to

0:44:13.520 --> 0:44:16.839
<v Speaker 1>synk between services, you can just do one. But if

0:44:16.880 --> 0:44:18.799
<v Speaker 1>you really want to get the most out of these,

0:44:18.920 --> 0:44:21.000
<v Speaker 1>you have to go with the premium plan, which is

0:44:21.080 --> 0:44:23.759
<v Speaker 1>three dollars a month, build annually, which is thirty six

0:44:24.000 --> 0:44:27.640
<v Speaker 1>dollars a year. That's probably what you want to end

0:44:27.719 --> 0:44:30.120
<v Speaker 1>up doing if you're doing this a lot. I don't

0:44:30.160 --> 0:44:31.800
<v Speaker 1>have a use for this. I don't really care about

0:44:31.840 --> 0:44:35.000
<v Speaker 1>playlists anymore, so I just, you know, I just listen

0:44:35.040 --> 0:44:37.520
<v Speaker 1>to whatever, you know they make on their own like

0:44:37.719 --> 0:44:41.879
<v Speaker 1>hot Country or you know, Chill fifty whatever. I don't

0:44:41.920 --> 0:44:43.560
<v Speaker 1>care as long as it's got the music I like.

0:44:43.640 --> 0:44:46.440
<v Speaker 1>I've stopped making playlists. I don't even bother at all

0:44:46.520 --> 0:44:49.040
<v Speaker 1>in any way, shape or form. And so if you

0:44:49.120 --> 0:44:50.359
<v Speaker 1>still have you know, I know a lot of people

0:44:50.440 --> 0:44:53.000
<v Speaker 1>still have playlists that they craft and they curate whatever.

0:44:53.080 --> 0:44:56.760
<v Speaker 1>If you got it, great, do this, but sound dz

0:44:57.200 --> 0:45:01.839
<v Speaker 1>dot com. And I actually heard back from let's see

0:45:02.719 --> 0:45:05.239
<v Speaker 1>from Paul and he said, hey, Rich, it worked. It's great,

0:45:05.280 --> 0:45:08.160
<v Speaker 1>and it's fast. You can transfer music from any platform Apple, Spotify,

0:45:08.200 --> 0:45:12.400
<v Speaker 1>et cetera. Really appreciate that answer, Thanks Rich. This was

0:45:12.680 --> 0:45:15.959
<v Speaker 1>Paul who wrote in maybe on my Facebook page or something,

0:45:16.040 --> 0:45:19.920
<v Speaker 1>but anyway, there you have it. Someone tried it. Sounddiz

0:45:20.200 --> 0:45:23.920
<v Speaker 1>dot com transfer all your music no matter where it lives.

0:45:24.960 --> 0:45:33.160
<v Speaker 1>If you're still using playlists, which you know people do, well,

0:45:33.160 --> 0:45:34.879
<v Speaker 1>I guess I'm all out of stories for the week,

0:45:34.960 --> 0:45:37.080
<v Speaker 1>which I don't know how that's possible. Oh you know

0:45:37.160 --> 0:45:39.839
<v Speaker 1>what I didn't even talk about. I should talk about

0:45:39.880 --> 0:45:41.960
<v Speaker 1>iOS fourteen point five, you know, so I do have

0:45:42.000 --> 0:45:45.359
<v Speaker 1>a story. So iOS fourteen point five launched this week,

0:45:45.520 --> 0:45:47.759
<v Speaker 1>and there's a couple of things that are notable in it.

0:45:48.400 --> 0:45:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Number one, you can use your Apple Watch to unlock

0:45:50.560 --> 0:45:54.280
<v Speaker 1>your phone, which came in Can I say came in clutch?

0:45:54.440 --> 0:45:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Is that like a term the kids are using. I

0:45:56.120 --> 0:45:58.839
<v Speaker 1>don't know, but I was dropping my kid off at

0:45:59.000 --> 0:46:01.440
<v Speaker 1>school and you have to do this like app where

0:46:01.480 --> 0:46:03.520
<v Speaker 1>you got to like, you know, say that they're okay

0:46:03.680 --> 0:46:05.759
<v Speaker 1>and there's no COVID floating around your house, and so

0:46:05.880 --> 0:46:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I had to. You know, you go on this app

0:46:08.120 --> 0:46:12.120
<v Speaker 1>and you get like a QR code that lets you proceed. Well,

0:46:12.160 --> 0:46:13.400
<v Speaker 1>I didn't realize you have to show it to the

0:46:13.440 --> 0:46:15.520
<v Speaker 1>person when you're dropping off. So I dropped my kid

0:46:15.560 --> 0:46:16.680
<v Speaker 1>off and they're like, oh, do you have the app?

0:46:16.680 --> 0:46:18.640
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, oh, yeah, here it is. And I

0:46:18.719 --> 0:46:20.839
<v Speaker 1>went to unlock my phone, but of course I'm wearing

0:46:20.880 --> 0:46:24.040
<v Speaker 1>a mask, so my phone is like. I'm like, oh,

0:46:24.120 --> 0:46:25.959
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna you know, I gotta put in my pass code,

0:46:26.000 --> 0:46:29.000
<v Speaker 1>but no, all of a sudden, I feel a little

0:46:29.200 --> 0:46:31.880
<v Speaker 1>haptic on my wrist and boom, my phone unlocks. And

0:46:32.000 --> 0:46:35.200
<v Speaker 1>yes it works because in iOS fourteen point five, you

0:46:35.280 --> 0:46:38.800
<v Speaker 1>can now use your iPhone and your Apple Watch in

0:46:39.040 --> 0:46:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Unison to unlock your iPhone when you're wearing a mask now,

0:46:43.400 --> 0:46:45.680
<v Speaker 1>I will tell you, I am very excited that the

0:46:46.000 --> 0:46:49.520
<v Speaker 1>government has said you don't need a mask when you're outside.

0:46:49.640 --> 0:46:51.719
<v Speaker 1>And yes, there's a million caveats, but the good news

0:46:51.800 --> 0:46:53.919
<v Speaker 1>is I was able to run yesterday without a mask.

0:46:54.239 --> 0:46:56.399
<v Speaker 1>And please don't get me on the whole mask thing. Look,

0:46:56.680 --> 0:46:58.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to wear a mask, just as much

0:46:58.120 --> 0:47:00.120
<v Speaker 1>as everyone else out there, but I do you know,

0:47:00.200 --> 0:47:01.759
<v Speaker 1>if I need to, if I'm in a place where

0:47:01.760 --> 0:47:03.719
<v Speaker 1>they say you have to, I will wear it. I'm

0:47:03.760 --> 0:47:06.279
<v Speaker 1>not fighting it. I'm not saying it dumb whatever. It's

0:47:06.440 --> 0:47:08.279
<v Speaker 1>just the rules of the land right now, and I'm

0:47:08.320 --> 0:47:11.319
<v Speaker 1>following them. And so the good news is that La,

0:47:11.760 --> 0:47:15.520
<v Speaker 1>and you know, the US government has said that you

0:47:15.560 --> 0:47:18.120
<v Speaker 1>don't need a mask when you're outside, and so that's

0:47:18.200 --> 0:47:21.360
<v Speaker 1>great and fantastic, and so I listened to that. Yesterday

0:47:21.400 --> 0:47:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I went for a run and I ran without a mask,

0:47:24.080 --> 0:47:25.800
<v Speaker 1>and it was glorious. And I kind of forgot what

0:47:25.880 --> 0:47:28.279
<v Speaker 1>it was like to do that. And you might say, rich, well,

0:47:28.320 --> 0:47:30.239
<v Speaker 1>you never needed one anyway, but I know, but here

0:47:30.280 --> 0:47:32.440
<v Speaker 1>in LA you did. And so I just follow the

0:47:32.560 --> 0:47:36.600
<v Speaker 1>rules like a good citizen. And anyway, So iOS fourteen

0:47:36.640 --> 0:47:40.520
<v Speaker 1>point five you no longer need or you no longer anyway,

0:47:40.560 --> 0:47:42.680
<v Speaker 1>it's not a pain to unlock your iPhone if you're

0:47:42.719 --> 0:47:44.719
<v Speaker 1>wearing a mask, if you have an Apple Watch on,

0:47:44.920 --> 0:47:47.080
<v Speaker 1>because it just notices that you have an Apple Watch

0:47:47.239 --> 0:47:50.000
<v Speaker 1>and boom it unlocks. And so how do you turn

0:47:50.080 --> 0:47:52.759
<v Speaker 1>that on? You got to update both your Apple Watch

0:47:53.000 --> 0:47:56.680
<v Speaker 1>and your iPhone so to the latest software on Apple Watch.

0:47:56.680 --> 0:47:58.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what that is, but on iPhone it's

0:47:58.239 --> 0:48:00.840
<v Speaker 1>fourteen point five. And then once you do, you go

0:48:00.920 --> 0:48:04.440
<v Speaker 1>into settings, face ID unlock with Apple Watch, turn that

0:48:04.560 --> 0:48:08.360
<v Speaker 1>on and it'll take a second. But now it's pretty amazing.

0:48:08.520 --> 0:48:10.200
<v Speaker 1>It's just if you have an Apple Watch, it's a

0:48:10.239 --> 0:48:13.000
<v Speaker 1>lot easier to unlock your phone. I know. If you're

0:48:13.000 --> 0:48:15.880
<v Speaker 1>an Android person, you're like rich. This has been around

0:48:15.960 --> 0:48:18.640
<v Speaker 1>forever on Android. It's called smart unlock. Yes I know.

0:48:19.239 --> 0:48:21.799
<v Speaker 1>But Apple, you know they do things at their own pace,

0:48:21.880 --> 0:48:24.600
<v Speaker 1>so yes, we have it. Uh. The other thing is

0:48:24.680 --> 0:48:28.279
<v Speaker 1>this whole privacy tracking so or I guess whatever you

0:48:28.360 --> 0:48:31.759
<v Speaker 1>want to call it app transparency. So now apps have

0:48:31.960 --> 0:48:34.239
<v Speaker 1>to ask if they can track you. And who's gonna

0:48:34.239 --> 0:48:36.680
<v Speaker 1>say yes to that? No one. So now when you

0:48:36.760 --> 0:48:39.680
<v Speaker 1>download an app on iOS, fourteen point five. You run it,

0:48:39.800 --> 0:48:42.200
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna say, hey, do you mind if we track

0:48:42.280 --> 0:48:45.600
<v Speaker 1>you across all the websites that you visit and share

0:48:45.600 --> 0:48:48.399
<v Speaker 1>that information with everyone else so that we can serve

0:48:48.480 --> 0:48:50.200
<v Speaker 1>up better ads and make more money off of you.

0:48:50.280 --> 0:48:52.800
<v Speaker 1>And what are you gonna say? You're probably gonna say no.

0:48:54.040 --> 0:48:56.120
<v Speaker 1>And yes, I feel bad for all these companies that

0:48:56.280 --> 0:48:59.800
<v Speaker 1>now have to deal with this new reality, notably Google

0:49:00.040 --> 0:49:04.120
<v Speaker 1>and Facebook. And I say that a little facetiously. I mean, look,

0:49:04.120 --> 0:49:07.000
<v Speaker 1>they'll figure it out, but it's the end of an era.

0:49:07.320 --> 0:49:11.279
<v Speaker 1>The wild West of tracking folks is over, at least

0:49:11.360 --> 0:49:15.439
<v Speaker 1>on the iPhone, and I'm sure that Android will follow

0:49:15.520 --> 0:49:18.640
<v Speaker 1>suit because you know, if Apple this is a big,

0:49:18.719 --> 0:49:21.319
<v Speaker 1>big advantage that they have, and people are like, well,

0:49:21.360 --> 0:49:23.719
<v Speaker 1>why would I ever get an Android because it's a

0:49:23.800 --> 0:49:26.040
<v Speaker 1>wild West for tracking there. But on the iPhone it's

0:49:26.080 --> 0:49:29.440
<v Speaker 1>all buttoned down. You know, the Android's going to have

0:49:29.520 --> 0:49:32.320
<v Speaker 1>to probably figure something out to make it feel like

0:49:32.400 --> 0:49:36.000
<v Speaker 1>it's in line. So if you don't even want apps

0:49:36.040 --> 0:49:38.279
<v Speaker 1>to give you the option to track, you just go

0:49:38.400 --> 0:49:41.960
<v Speaker 1>into Settings once you've updated to fourteen point five. It's

0:49:42.000 --> 0:49:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Settings Privacy Tracking, and then the option to allow apps

0:49:45.960 --> 0:49:49.000
<v Speaker 1>to request to track, Just turn it off and boom,

0:49:49.480 --> 0:49:54.520
<v Speaker 1>they cannot even ask to track you. That is that's it,

0:49:54.719 --> 0:49:56.960
<v Speaker 1>that's where you want to go. And fourteen point five

0:49:56.960 --> 0:49:59.480
<v Speaker 1>has a lot of other little refinements as well. Siri

0:50:00.040 --> 0:50:02.399
<v Speaker 1>has gotten some new voices. There's no longer de fault,

0:50:02.400 --> 0:50:04.319
<v Speaker 1>so when you first set up Siri for the first time,

0:50:04.520 --> 0:50:06.719
<v Speaker 1>it will say, Hey, which voice do you like? Which

0:50:06.760 --> 0:50:08.279
<v Speaker 1>one do you want to choose? And there are some

0:50:08.440 --> 0:50:11.719
<v Speaker 1>more diverse options there, so you can choose one of

0:50:11.760 --> 0:50:16.760
<v Speaker 1>those to your liking. What else, Yeah, she's no longer

0:50:16.960 --> 0:50:19.360
<v Speaker 1>or I should say, it is no longer defaulting to

0:50:19.520 --> 0:50:21.719
<v Speaker 1>a female voice, So now you will have the option

0:50:21.880 --> 0:50:24.440
<v Speaker 1>to choose and that's probably a good thing because I

0:50:24.440 --> 0:50:27.480
<v Speaker 1>always thought it was odd that Siri is a she, Like,

0:50:27.560 --> 0:50:29.920
<v Speaker 1>how do we know? You know, like, just pick what

0:50:30.080 --> 0:50:34.440
<v Speaker 1>you like and go with it. So that's that. What

0:50:34.600 --> 0:50:38.160
<v Speaker 1>else is in there, Let's see fourteen point five little

0:50:38.200 --> 0:50:40.600
<v Speaker 1>things here and there. I've noticed they've kind of cleaned

0:50:40.640 --> 0:50:43.320
<v Speaker 1>some things up, They've kind of you know, fixed some bugs,

0:50:43.760 --> 0:50:46.279
<v Speaker 1>made some things nicer. But that's fourteen point five in

0:50:46.400 --> 0:50:49.120
<v Speaker 1>a nutshell. I would update it because there are some

0:50:49.239 --> 0:50:54.840
<v Speaker 1>things that do really improve upon Okay, now to another. Oh, okay,

0:50:54.920 --> 0:50:56.640
<v Speaker 1>this is not really a question. This is more of

0:50:56.719 --> 0:51:00.719
<v Speaker 1>a comment to rich Ta says, hey, which, how about

0:51:00.760 --> 0:51:04.160
<v Speaker 1>doing some stories on Android products? Apple? Apple, Apple? It's

0:51:04.239 --> 0:51:11.000
<v Speaker 1>grown tiresome. Ta, I know, I hear you. But what

0:51:11.120 --> 0:51:13.480
<v Speaker 1>am I supposed to do? I mean, what am I

0:51:13.560 --> 0:51:15.640
<v Speaker 1>supposed to do? I don't want to go off right now,

0:51:15.760 --> 0:51:19.160
<v Speaker 1>But the reality is, I do Android stuff. I do

0:51:19.320 --> 0:51:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Apple stuff. I do Android stuff, I do Apple stuff.

0:51:22.360 --> 0:51:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Tomorrow my story on KTLA is Samsung. When Apple comes

0:51:26.040 --> 0:51:28.239
<v Speaker 1>out with their stuff, I do Apple stuff. And the

0:51:28.400 --> 0:51:30.759
<v Speaker 1>reality is, I'll just be completely honest. When I do

0:51:30.840 --> 0:51:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Apple stuff, it does better. There clearly are more Apple

0:51:34.280 --> 0:51:39.680
<v Speaker 1>folks in my listening and viewing world than there are Android,

0:51:39.719 --> 0:51:42.800
<v Speaker 1>because when I do Apple, it really does well. And

0:51:42.880 --> 0:51:44.880
<v Speaker 1>when I do Android it's fine. I don't get as

0:51:44.920 --> 0:51:46.680
<v Speaker 1>much feedback, I don't get as much views, I don't

0:51:46.680 --> 0:51:49.600
<v Speaker 1>get as many clicks. But I love Android. Don't get

0:51:49.680 --> 0:51:52.640
<v Speaker 1>me wrong. I love Android. In fact, I've said this,

0:51:54.320 --> 0:51:56.759
<v Speaker 1>I really enjoy the Android operating system. But there's a

0:51:56.800 --> 0:51:59.879
<v Speaker 1>lot of stuff I appreciate about Apple, and I think

0:52:00.000 --> 0:52:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Apple does a lot of things better, and I think

0:52:02.400 --> 0:52:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Android does a lot of things better. So it's not

0:52:04.960 --> 0:52:08.640
<v Speaker 1>a war, it's not a race. It's just options. And

0:52:08.840 --> 0:52:11.560
<v Speaker 1>so the reality is there are lots of options out there.

0:52:11.920 --> 0:52:14.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't tell people which one they should choose unless

0:52:14.400 --> 0:52:16.279
<v Speaker 1>you ask me, and I'll give you the best option

0:52:16.480 --> 0:52:20.760
<v Speaker 1>for your situation. But Ta, I'm not sitting here trying

0:52:20.840 --> 0:52:23.200
<v Speaker 1>to do more Apple or trying to do more Android.

0:52:23.560 --> 0:52:26.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm just doing kind of what the market dictates dictates.

0:52:26.920 --> 0:52:29.239
<v Speaker 1>And when Apple comes out with stuff, I'll gladly cover it.

0:52:29.640 --> 0:52:31.839
<v Speaker 1>When Google comes out with stuff, I'll cover it. When

0:52:31.880 --> 0:52:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Samsung comes out with stuff, I'll cover it. When TCL

0:52:34.000 --> 0:52:36.200
<v Speaker 1>comes out with stuff, I'll cover it. So it's just

0:52:36.280 --> 0:52:38.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of the EBB and flow of things when it's

0:52:38.000 --> 0:52:40.279
<v Speaker 1>an Apple event, like it was probably when you wrote me,

0:52:41.640 --> 0:52:43.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm gonna be talking about Apple stuff for

0:52:43.520 --> 0:52:46.960
<v Speaker 1>a bit because you've got the cycle of Apple stuff

0:52:47.320 --> 0:52:49.640
<v Speaker 1>is announced and then we go hands on, and then

0:52:49.719 --> 0:52:51.680
<v Speaker 1>I get more hands on and I talk about it.

0:52:52.200 --> 0:52:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Same thing with Android. So I hope that you know

0:52:56.080 --> 0:52:59.080
<v Speaker 1>you understand that, and that's just the reality of what's

0:52:59.120 --> 0:53:05.440
<v Speaker 1>happening here. All right, let's do one more segment or

0:53:05.480 --> 0:53:09.200
<v Speaker 1>one more question, I should say, all right, Kathy says, Hey, Rich,

0:53:09.239 --> 0:53:10.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm hoping you can help. I watched your segment a

0:53:10.920 --> 0:53:13.560
<v Speaker 1>few days ago about an app to help teachers. It's

0:53:13.600 --> 0:53:17.520
<v Speaker 1>called Overviewer. It's exactly what I've needed, so I purchased

0:53:17.520 --> 0:53:19.239
<v Speaker 1>the stand for my phone and of course just went

0:53:19.280 --> 0:53:21.000
<v Speaker 1>to the site to download it and darn it is

0:53:21.040 --> 0:53:23.759
<v Speaker 1>for Apple products only and I'm Android. Do you have

0:53:23.840 --> 0:53:26.440
<v Speaker 1>any suggestions for another app? I've been using Zoom and

0:53:26.640 --> 0:53:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Canvas to teach for the past year. I've been able

0:53:29.200 --> 0:53:31.840
<v Speaker 1>to integrate more technology for my students. Tomorrow, I'm teaching

0:53:31.920 --> 0:53:34.880
<v Speaker 1>them how to sew online. I thought this would be

0:53:34.920 --> 0:53:37.239
<v Speaker 1>perfect and helping me come up with questions while we're

0:53:37.280 --> 0:53:39.160
<v Speaker 1>on Zoom, so I have them out. I have a

0:53:39.200 --> 0:53:42.160
<v Speaker 1>smartphone from Samsung, and I'd like to hook up my

0:53:42.280 --> 0:53:44.400
<v Speaker 1>camera as a video monitor to my computer so I

0:53:44.440 --> 0:53:46.200
<v Speaker 1>can share the screen for my students. Do you have

0:53:46.280 --> 0:53:49.000
<v Speaker 1>any thoughts? Thanks for your help, Kathy. All right, Kathy,

0:53:49.080 --> 0:53:52.320
<v Speaker 1>So you're referring to an app called Overviewer that I

0:53:52.600 --> 0:53:56.160
<v Speaker 1>featured on KTLA, and this is an app that uses

0:53:56.239 --> 0:54:00.279
<v Speaker 1>your iPhone as a camera for a wireless camera Zoom.

0:54:00.760 --> 0:54:03.000
<v Speaker 1>So I showed a little amount that you can use

0:54:03.160 --> 0:54:05.920
<v Speaker 1>and kind of switch between cameras. So if you want

0:54:05.960 --> 0:54:08.120
<v Speaker 1>to show you know what you're reading, or what you're writing,

0:54:08.200 --> 0:54:10.440
<v Speaker 1>or what you're doing, like in your case sewing, your

0:54:10.480 --> 0:54:13.040
<v Speaker 1>hands are free and your camera is right above and

0:54:13.400 --> 0:54:15.560
<v Speaker 1>the kids can see it or the students. I should say,

0:54:16.120 --> 0:54:18.759
<v Speaker 1>now to be fair and back to what TA was saying,

0:54:18.840 --> 0:54:22.719
<v Speaker 1>I said. When I interviewed the developer of Overviewer, I said, oh,

0:54:22.800 --> 0:54:25.000
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, do you have any idea if there's an

0:54:25.040 --> 0:54:27.359
<v Speaker 1>Android version of this? Because I know people are going

0:54:27.400 --> 0:54:29.920
<v Speaker 1>to ask me? And he said no, I don't know,

0:54:30.280 --> 0:54:32.359
<v Speaker 1>and I figured he would be the best. I did

0:54:32.440 --> 0:54:35.000
<v Speaker 1>a kind of a cursory search to see I didn't

0:54:35.000 --> 0:54:39.320
<v Speaker 1>really find anything that was just as good, and you know,

0:54:39.400 --> 0:54:41.040
<v Speaker 1>I left it at that, but I knew I was

0:54:41.040 --> 0:54:43.640
<v Speaker 1>going to get questions about the Android side of things,

0:54:44.160 --> 0:54:46.480
<v Speaker 1>and I don't have a very good answer except I

0:54:46.719 --> 0:54:50.120
<v Speaker 1>think I think this might work. And it's called air Squirrels,

0:54:51.200 --> 0:54:55.080
<v Speaker 1>and air Squirrels is an app that mirrors or reflects

0:54:55.320 --> 0:54:59.360
<v Speaker 1>your phone screen, whether it's iOS or Android or even tablets,

0:55:00.200 --> 0:55:04.720
<v Speaker 1>fire tablets, whatever, it will mirror that on your screen

0:55:04.920 --> 0:55:09.439
<v Speaker 1>and you can use it in coordination with Zoom now

0:55:09.800 --> 0:55:12.000
<v Speaker 1>this is eighteen dollars. And that's another thing that I

0:55:12.160 --> 0:55:15.120
<v Speaker 1>like to recommend stuff that's free. And the Overviewer app

0:55:15.320 --> 0:55:18.120
<v Speaker 1>is free, but it's only for iOS. So my advice

0:55:18.480 --> 0:55:21.680
<v Speaker 1>is if you can find they have like a teacher's resource,

0:55:22.200 --> 0:55:26.320
<v Speaker 1>it says reflector Student. I don't know if that's for teachers,

0:55:26.360 --> 0:55:28.240
<v Speaker 1>but it looks like they have some stuff for education,

0:55:28.400 --> 0:55:31.759
<v Speaker 1>So I would check to see maybe just google air Squirrels,

0:55:31.920 --> 0:55:33.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, teacher and see if they have a special

0:55:33.680 --> 0:55:36.759
<v Speaker 1>deal for teachers. But that's what I would recommend looking into.

0:55:36.960 --> 0:55:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I think it'll work, and I think it'll work with

0:55:39.000 --> 0:55:41.719
<v Speaker 1>your Samsung and I think that's the best advice that

0:55:41.800 --> 0:55:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I have. But the one for iOS is called Overviewer.

0:55:44.920 --> 0:55:48.680
<v Speaker 1>It's completely free. Otherwise, check out air Squirrels Reflector if

0:55:48.760 --> 0:55:52.480
<v Speaker 1>you're on the Android side of things. But great question, Kathy,

0:55:52.560 --> 0:55:55.040
<v Speaker 1>And yes I did try to have your back with Android,

0:55:55.080 --> 0:55:57.840
<v Speaker 1>but I just didn't come up with a free solution

0:55:58.040 --> 0:56:06.120
<v Speaker 1>for that. Ope, that's it. That's the sound of the music.

0:56:06.239 --> 0:56:08.840
<v Speaker 1>That means that's gonna do it for this episode of

0:56:08.880 --> 0:56:10.480
<v Speaker 1>the show. If you'd like to submit a question for

0:56:10.600 --> 0:56:12.320
<v Speaker 1>me to answer, there are two ways to do. Just

0:56:12.400 --> 0:56:16.400
<v Speaker 1>that go to Richontech dot tv slash podcast and hit

0:56:16.480 --> 0:56:19.680
<v Speaker 1>the microphone button to leave a voicemail, or, better yet,

0:56:19.760 --> 0:56:22.040
<v Speaker 1>go to my Facebook page Facebook dot com slash rich

0:56:22.080 --> 0:56:25.800

<v Speaker 1>this podcast to help other people discover it. Clearly some

0:56:31.680 --> 0:56:33.880
<v Speaker 1>of you heard me and I got I think like

0:56:34.000 --> 0:56:38.879
<v Speaker 1>three reviews since the last time we talked, and it's

0:56:39.040 --> 0:56:41.080

<v Speaker 1>his real opinions on new and current technology and explains

0:56:56.680 --> 0:56:58.400
<v Speaker 1>things in a way that makes the rest of us

0:56:58.520 --> 0:57:01.560
