24
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: I hope you're having a fantastic week. Look what I

25
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: have in my hands. Well, you can't see unless you're

26
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: streaming on a the KTLA plus app. But this is it,

27
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 1: the new Nintendo Switch. To highly anticipated release from Nintendo,

28
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: eight years in the making, and yes, Nintendo sent me

29
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: a review unit. I've been playing with it, my kids

30
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: have been playing with it, and it's been.

31
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: A long time coming.

32
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: You know, the original Switch came out about eight years ago,

33
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: and they did some incremental upgrades along the way, but

34
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: this is a full rewriting of everything, and they just

35
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: sort of upgraded all the major points on this thing.

36
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 2: Now.

37
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: I don't think you could just walk into a store

38
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: and buy one just yet, so people were obviously waiting

39
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: outside in line. But with a little research, I think

40
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: you can track one down. And of course, they launched

41
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 1: this thing early enough before the holidays that anyone who

42
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: really wants one in time for the holidays hopefully will

43
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 1: be able to get one. But there always seems to

44
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: be this thing with these new gaming consoles where it

45
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: takes a while to get it.

46
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 2: I thought it'd be fun. We went out.

47
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: You know, my day job is with KTLA TV in

48
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,119
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, and we went out to the Best Buy

49
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: where folks were waiting in line for this.

50
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: Now I've done this in the past.

51
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: I used to cover this a lot, you know, coming

52
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: up in the tech world, going to these midnight launches

53
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles that happened to be nine pm, which

54
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: was kind of cool for these people. But I thought

55
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: it'd be fun if we play some of the sound

56
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: from some of the folks. So let's hear from little Eddie,

57
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: who was excited to be out there.

58
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 3: This actually my first time, so it's very exciting for me.

59
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 3: I always wanted to do something like this at least

60
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 3: once in my life.

61
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: It's way better. I mean, the switch that I have

62
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 2: is kind of owned.

63
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 3: The battery runs out very quickly, and with this new

64
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 3: switsh it has like a bigger screen, which compared to

65
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 3: my tiny swish is a huge eyebreak for me.

66
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: Actually, I think Eddie was one of the adults we

67
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: talked to. Stanley. He was one of two adults we

68
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: talked to. Stanley was a kid.

69
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 1: Let's hear what Stanley had to say.

70
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 4: It's been like eight years and I got my first

71
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 4: Nintendo when I was five, so I just want to

72
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 4: get a new one. I'm expecting the Super Mario, the

73
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 4: Mario Kart and very new features.

74
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: There you go, and Danny. Danny was a character.

75
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: Danny really impressed me with some of the words that

76
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: I had not heard before used in these terms.

77
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: Check it out.

78
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 5: I just want to switch too. I've been here since

79
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 5: four thirty just getting comfy.

80
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: That's awesome.

81
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 3: I don't really know.

82
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 6: I'm just kind of here.

83
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 5: Because I think it's cool.

84
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 4: I'm also really excited for the games like Pokemon Legends,

85
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 4: z A, the DLC for Sonic Shatter Generations switch to version.

86
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: It's gonna be peak.

87
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 6: I'm just really excited.

88
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: It's gonna be peak. I love that it's gonna be peak.

89
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. You learn something new every day.

90
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: All right.

91
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: Now, here's the other adult we talked to, Paul Atte.

92
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: Let's hear what paul Atte had to say.

93
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 7: We did it for the first one, and it wasn't

94
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 7: hours and hours.

95
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 5: This is the first time I do hours and hours.

96
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 3: But I made new friends.

97
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 7: Right hey, because I play, I play the game, and

98
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 7: I have the first one, so the second one helps

99
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 7: is gonna get me more things, better visuals, new games,

100
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 7: and more ways to interact with my husband. I play, Actually,

101
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 7: my husband and I do play a lot. We have

102
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 7: our own computers, we have our own consoles because each

103
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 7: one of us has a different style that we like,

104
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 7: so we enjoy it. And we also play with friends

105
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 7: for each of the things that we like.

106
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 2: All right, there you have it.

107
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what I love about Nintendo is

108
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: that it really spans a wide range of fans. It's

109
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: not like some of these systems that are just sort

110
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: of for like the ultimate gamers out there. Like this

111
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: is like very family oriented, which I really like. And

112
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: I told you that it's a little tricky to get.

113
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: But I'm hearing in real time from my friend Matt Swider,

114
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: he runs the shortcut dot com. He's all about how

115
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: to get these things. He just texted and said, Walmart

116
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: always has the best stock. They had a huge restock

117
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: last night, but they sold out in thirty minutes. But

118
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: they are the best place to get it online. And

119
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: then some of the other people I've spoken to, you know,

120
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: you can walk into a Target or another store like

121
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: that they're giving out you know, like tickets when you

122
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: get there and if you get a ticket, you can

123
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,799
Speaker 1: buy one. But of course they get a certain amount

124
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: of these things every day. Let's see what else he's saying.

125
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: Best buying game Stop have better in store restocks than Walmart.

126
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: Target has laid shipments. Ooh ouch. So it's kind of random.

127
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: So I did set this thing up and play with it,

128
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: and it's it's kind of cool.

129
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:08,559
Speaker 2: So set up as simple.

130
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: They've got this new dock that I think is better,

131
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: way better than the old one. I had a lot

132
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: of connection problems with the old dock. This one doesn't

133
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: seem to have that. The magnetic controller system is so

134
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: much better, so if you're not familiar with the switch

135
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: in general, it's basically like a handheld gaming console with

136
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: two sort of controllers that attach on the sides, but

137
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: then you can detach those. I mean you could use

138
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: that on the go and then you could detach those,

139
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: put it into the dock, and then connect this to

140
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: your TV.

141
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 2: So it's basically a two to one device.

142
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: You can play it at home on your TV, and

143
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: then when you're on the go, you can just take

144
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: this thing out of the dock, put the controllers on,

145
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,799
Speaker 1: and then there you go. The screen is much bigger,

146
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: which makes the device kind of heavier in general, which

147
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: will take some getting used to if you have your

148
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: original version or one of the previous versions. This thing

149
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: has sort of grown over time, but I still think

150
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: it feels comfortable in your hands. And I was a

151
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: little bit concerned about the magnetic attachment of the controllers,

152
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: like when they break off or something, but no, they

153
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: stay on there pretty securely, so I think the engineering

154
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: marvel of how they figured out those controllers is also

155
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: pretty neat in itself. Game sharing is so much better,

156
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. The digital games sort of now act

157
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: like virtual game cards, so it's not like the old

158
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: days where the game was sort of linked to just

159
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: one person. Now it's like on the device and then

160
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: whoever's playing sort of gets to play that game. So

161
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: I think that aspect is way easier. The software way faster,

162
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: way smoother, and Nintendo has kind of kept its fun

163
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: friendly interface but made it feel more modern and responsive,

164
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: so I really appreciated that. Now the big feature kids

165
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: and players are going nuts over is this game chat.

166
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: So this lets you voice chat while you play and

167
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: even share your screen with a friend, So that is

168
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: a welcome addition, especially for kids who already on their

169
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: iPads sort of facetiming with their friends as they play

170
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: their games. So now that this is built into the

171
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: Nintendo Switch, I think that's gonna help it better compete

172
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: on this casual gaming market with the iPad. That feature

173
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: is free through March twenty twenty six. After that, you're

174
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: gonna need a Nintendo Online account. Thankfully, those are not

175
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: that expensive. The other new thing is that you can

176
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: plug in a USBC webcam. Doesn't have to be Nintendo's,

177
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: even though they sew one. We just plugged in a

178
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: random one and that worked really well. Graphics look great.

179
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: You can get up to ten ADP on the handheld

180
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: up to four k hdr When you dock it. The

181
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: speaker sounded loud and much much louder to me and

182
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: much clearer. Now the kickstand. That's a big feature of

183
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: this because you can put this on a table and

184
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: sort of play with the controllers in your hand. There's

185
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: a lot of different ways to play this thing. I

186
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: think the kickstand is a little weird. It's like it's

187
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: a little flimsy when you're moving it. But the hinge

188
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: is really solid, so it supports like all the angles

189
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: you want. Don't think that's a deal breaker at all.

190
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: But then there's a couple of games. I played, Switch Tour.

191
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: It feels like it would be included because it's kind

192
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: of like a tutorial about what the new switch is

193
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: all about and all the new features.

194
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 2: But they charge you ten dollars for that. Feels like

195
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: it should have been free. Now. Mario Kart World is

196
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 2: the new game. You heard the kid talk about it.

197
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: That is sort of a familiar game, but they kind

198
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: of built in some new I guess, some new ways

199
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: to play on it.

200
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 2: I didn't get really past.

201
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: The first level just yesterday, so I didn't have too

202
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: much time to play. But these games are eighty dollars now,

203
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: which is wild. My favorite is that you can access

204
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: all these classic Nintendo games if you have the online membership,

205
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: and that's not very expensive. Again, like I said, so,

206
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: I was playing Tetris from my original Game Boy like

207
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: thirty plus years later, which I thought was pretty cool.

208
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: And of course, one of the big games coming up

209
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: is Donkey Kong Bonanza that is upcoming in the next

210
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: couple of months. Here price it is kind of expensive,

211
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: four to fifty for the console. If you're gonna get it,

212
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: definitely try to get it bundled with that Mario Kart game.

213
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 2: It'll save you at least thirty dollars.

214
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: I do not expect price drops on this anytime soon,

215
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: so if you want one before the holidays, you're probably

216
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: gonna have to pay full price. The only thing we'll

217
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: see is maybe some bundles at the stores that bundle

218
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: in some other things, like maybe a gift card or

219
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: something like that.

220
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 2: I think the.

221
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: Bottom line here, if you like the original switch, you're

222
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: gonna love this one. Not necessarily something you have to

223
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: upgrade to, but if you feel like you want something

224
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: that's new and fresh and faster and better graphics and

225
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: just overall kind of a fresh take on the switch.

226
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: I do think that Nintendo did a really nice job

227
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: in improving this, all right, eighty eight rich one oh

228
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight seven four to two four one

229
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: zero one. I should add that my kids were very

230
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: excited about this new switch, and so were their friends,

231
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: so that's a really good sign. All right, coming up,

232
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: we'll take some of your calls and I'll tell you

233
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 1: about the light bulb security camera that's so easy to install.

234
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 2: Anyone should be.

235
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: Able to do it. You are listening to rich on Tech.

236
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging

237
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: out with you talking technology at Triple Late rich one

238
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: on one. That's eight eight eight seven four to two

239
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: four one zero one. I should clarify because I mentioned

240
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: earlier that you can see me holding the switch, and

241
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: I said, if you're watching on the KTLA plus app,

242
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: we don't stream the show on the app, but you

243
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: can watch it after the fact. So we put the

244
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: first ten minutes of the show of the radio show

245
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: on TV so you can watch it and enjoy and

246
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: it's sort of like the first ten minutes and it's

247
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: part of my larger show.

248
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 2: I have streaming which is called rich on Tech Weekly.

249
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: So if you want to check it out anywhere you live,

250
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: you can download the free KTLA plus app.

251
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: Look for rich on Tech Weekly. It is on there

252
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 2: and that's what it is.

253
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: So getting more information from my pal Matt Swider about

254
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: the Nintendo switch too. He's saying it's easy to get

255
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: in the Midwest. In quotes, Texas stores have them sitting

256
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: on shelves, but major metro areas are sold out completely.

257
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: Definitely not as hard to get as a PlayStation five.

258
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: But we're not at the point where you can just

259
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: walk into a Best Buy and get one. And then

260
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: he has his I ate his tip from his newsletter

261
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: The shortcut dot com as our switch to restock notifications

262
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: can attest. There's much more inventory of the console bundle

263
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: than the standalone version. Some people assume that the four

264
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars console will be easier to get

265
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: because it's less popular, but they didn't account for the

266
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: lack of inventory.

267
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 2: So there you have it.

268
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: I think that this is probably going to be easier

269
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: to get throughout the year than the PlayStation five was.

270
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: But remember did in that launch during the pandemic. So

271
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: did the Xbox the New Xbox, so you know those

272
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: were that was a different time for sure. Let's go

273
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: to Jim in British Columbia gym.

274
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 2: You're on with Rich.

275
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, Hey, Rich, Yeah, I got a message a couple

276
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 8: of days ago from it appeared to be from Amazon. Now.

277
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 8: I just tried to send you a copy of it

278
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 8: on Rich on tach dot tv and it said it's

279
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 8: an invalid email address.

280
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 9: I don't know why.

281
00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 2: Uh oh, we're gonna have to look into that.

282
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: I'm getting a lot of emails from people, so I

283
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: don't know what the email address was, what the problem was.

284
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 2: Let me see.

285
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's rich on tech dot TV. Yes, and it's

286
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 8: feed bag it rich on email address.

287
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: Feed anyway, feedbag it rich on tech dot TV. That's

288
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: the email, not feedback I got.

289
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 8: I get this message and it says that Amazon has

290
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 8: got a whole whack of these palettes which are in

291
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 8: the picture. They appear to be about three or four

292
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 8: feet tall. I mean they're huge, and they're twenty nine dollars.

293
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 2: Oh wow, that's yeah.

294
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 8: They're selling them for two weeks. And uh, I'm just

295
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 8: wondering if it's for real, because you know, it had

296
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 8: had some the.

297
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 10: Message really, I mean, it was beautiful.

298
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 8: If it's a scam, those guys are really getting good.

299
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 9: Wow.

300
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 2: Well let's see.

301
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: So, uh, I feel like Jim, because you're calling me

302
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 1: you have an inkling that this might.

303
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 2: Be too good to be true. Yeah, yeah, and so

304
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 2: what so.

305
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: The the the idea here is and I've not seen

306
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: one of these ads.

307
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 2: I've heard of this before. I've heard of you know,

308
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 2: various things.

309
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: This sort of plays au pron those TV shows where

310
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: people go into like the abandoned storage facilities and like

311
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: get stuff and like find treasure and all that stuff.

312
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: That's kind of what this sounds like to me. But

313
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to say that it is probably very unlikely

314
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: that you're finding a legitimate Amazon liquidation palette for thirty bucks.

315
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: I just don't think that's possible. It's funny you say

316
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: this because right before the show, I returned a whole

317
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: bunch of stuff to Amazon at the Amazon Store, and

318
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: I watched. You know, the return policy, or the return

319
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: sort of process is very easy at the Amazon Store.

320
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: You give it to them, they scan a bar they

321
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: paste a bar code on the item, they scan it,

322
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: they scan the bar code from your email, and off

323
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: you go. And then they take the item. They just

324
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: toss it into a giant box. And I was looking

325
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: at the address on the box, and they basically send

326
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: it to an Amazon warehouse in like Las Vegas, or

327
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: probably a local one, whatever's closest to you, and then

328
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: someone goes through that whole thing. So typically the products

329
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: that you return to Amazon go to a couple places.

330
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: They'll either put them back on Amazon as a used item.

331
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: If there's nothing wrong with it, they'll send it back

332
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: to the manufacturer if there's like a problem or an

333
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: issue or some sort of defect, or they might just

334
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: destroy it if it's not really worth any of that stuff.

335
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: And I've also heard of situations where Amazon will just

336
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: say just keep it, you know, it's not.

337
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 2: Worth our time.

338
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: Although I feel like they're doing that less because people

339
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: got hipped to that and just started returning stuff and

340
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: got to keep it for free and got the credit.

341
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: But typically an Amazon return palette, just looking up online

342
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: here might cost anywhere between one hundred and ten thousand

343
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: dollars with all of this stuff that's on the palette.

344
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: And there are social media platforms, especially Facebook, that have

345
00:15:54,720 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: these scam listings that promise these unrealistically low prices, and

346
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: often this turns out to be fraudulent. So it, you know,

347
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: twenty nine dollars to you, Jim, not a big deal.

348
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: But if they're scamming a couple of people every day

349
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: selling twenty nine dollars and never delivering on the goods,

350
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: not a bad business to be in until you get caught,

351
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: or until you get banned, or until someone gets hipped

352
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: to it. So I would not buy the Amazon pallet

353
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: for twenty nine dollars just to ship you. Let's just

354
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: think about the math here, just to ship you a

355
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: twenty nine dollars pallet. There's no way that that works

356
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: out in anyone's favor. So I'm gonna call this a

357
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: big and we're not doing this. Thanks for the call, Jim,

358
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: do appreciate it. Eight eight eight Rich one oh one

359
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

360
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 2: Coming up, we'll take some more of your calls. I

361
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 2: check the email.

362
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: It is working. It is feedback at Richontech dot TV.

363
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: And coming up, I'll tell you about this new light

364
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: bulb security camera. I think it's pretty cool. If you

365
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: can screw in a light bulb, you can have.

366
00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: A security camera.

367
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: My name is rich Demiro. You are listening to rich

368
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech. Let's go

369
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: to Drew in Costa Mesa.

370
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 2: Drew, you're on with Rich Pray.

371
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 9: Rich.

372
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 11: I got an Epston copier et point seven twenty and uh,

373
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 11: I don't use it often. So every time I've had

374
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 11: to use it, you know, I have to go through

375
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 11: the maintenance, cleaning the heads and everything. But now it's

376
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 11: after the last time I did that, it still won't work.

377
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 11: I called the guy and he said, it's cheaper to

378
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 11: buy a new one than it is to fix it. Yes,

379
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 11: asking you if you can recommend a copier for somebody

380
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 11: like me who doesn't use it that much.

381
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, easy, easy, easy choice.

382
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:47,719
Speaker 6: Uh.

383
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: The I had this printer for I think over ten

384
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 1: years and it was fantastic, and my kids convinced me

385
00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: to upgrade to an HP color laser jet all in

386
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: one you know thing, and it's been nothing but trouble.

387
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: I'm talking, you know, just the amount I'm spending on

388
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 1: inc I broke the duplexer. I can't figure out how

389
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: to scan on this thing. It's just all a nightmare.

390
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: And I told my kids again this morning, I said,

391
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: can I please downgrade to the Brother? Well, I just

392
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 1: gave it away, but this is the one you want.

393
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: You want the Brother, You want a Brother laser printer.

394
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: And it's simple, it's easy. They have a bunch of models.

395
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: The one that I'd recommend for you is the DCP

396
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: L two six forty DW You don't have to write

397
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: that down, I'll put it in the show notes. Rich

398
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: on tech dot TV. This is episode one four, but

399
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 1: that's the one I recommend. One hundred and ninety nine

400
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: dollars and it's got the you said you wanted the

401
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 1: printer and the copier, so it's got all that built in.

402
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,719
Speaker 1: I might just buy this for myself right now. If

403
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 1: I had a place to put this in my house,

404
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: I would. This would be on my doorstep by tomorrow.

405
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: But I had this printer, the smaller version of it,

406
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: just I didn't have the copier part of it, but

407
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: I had the smaller one, Like I said, for about

408
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: ten years, never had a single problem. The most annoying

409
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: thing was just a couple of times you had to

410
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: buy the ink or the toner rather, which you know

411
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: lasts pretty long if you get the Excel one. But

412
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: in general, yeah, printers are are pretty much the razor

413
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: Blade model Drew, where you buy the printer for really cheap,

414
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: and then you got to buy the ink, which is

415
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: typically pretty expensive. So I always recommend looking at the

416
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: price of the ink before you actually purchase this thing. Now,

417
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: this one replacement toner, if you get the Excel one,

418
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: which i'd recommend, is going to cost you eighty five bucks.

419
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: So the machine itself is two hundred, the toner is

420
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: eighty five, But that's going to be. You know, that's

421
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: going to give you a lot if your only this

422
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 1: is up to three thousand pages, so you may just

423
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: want to you know, the one that comes with it

424
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: may last you for a while, even though I think

425
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: it's probably like a starter thing. But that's the one

426
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: i'd recommend. Very simple, very easy again. It's the Brother

427
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: DCP L two six four zero DW. It's a black

428
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: and white laser printer copy scan duplex. All the good

429
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: stuff you need. Two hundred dollars. You might even wait

443
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: com great question, Drew, Thanks for the call today, do

444
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: appreciate it. I told you about this light bulb that

445
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: Wise has launched. Now, why's this is a company that

446
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: when they came out with a twenty dollars security camera

447
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: back in the day this might have been I don't know,

448
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen or something like that, people went bananas over

449
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: it because it's twenty dollars. Whoever heard of a security

450
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: camera for twenty dollars. So now they've come out with

451
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: things over the years, and I've talked to the people

452
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: at this company. It's a lot of like ex Amazon folks,

453
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: a lot of smart people, and they make just great

454
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 1: stuff at great prices. Now, yes, before you say, rich,

455
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: didn't they have that security lapse?

456
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 9: Rich?

457
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: Don't they have issues with their privacy and security? Yes,

458
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 1: they've had some issues in the past, and I would

459
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: call them growing pains. I think they've fixed all of

460
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 1: those issues. They made people lock down their accounts with

461
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: two factor authentication. I have no problem recommending the security

462
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: cameras from this company. So they came out with a

463
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 1: new Wise BULBCAM and what's cool about it is it's

464
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: it looks like a light bulb with the security camera

465
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: on the top. So if you have a light fixture

466
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: that you want to put a security camera in, you

467
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: can do it.

468
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 2: You just screw in the light bulb and the security

469
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 2: camera's there. So obviously it has.

470
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: To be a place where you can have an open

471
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: sort of area, like if it, say, a fixture, has

472
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: to either be open on the top or the bottom.

473
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: For this thing to have, the cameras kind of stick

474
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: out because it's can be longer than your typical light bulb.

475
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: But great for garages, porches, anywhere you don't have an outlet,

476
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,479
Speaker 1: anywhere you don't want to deal with wires or solar Now,

477
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: I've not tested this personally just yet, but i have

478
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: no reason to believe. It looks like a wisecam is

479
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: just attached to a light bulb. And I've got wisecams.

480
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: I've been using them since day one in my home

481
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: and they are fantastic because they do exactly what you

482
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: need to do. This one's got two k HD video,

483
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: it's got color, night vision, one hundred and sixty degrees

484
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: field of view, two A audio. Now, the camera is adjustable,

485
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: so you can kind of tilt it, rotate it, extend

486
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: it up or down, to get the angle that you want.

487
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: The light bulb is dimmable. It can be grouped with

488
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: other wise bulbs, which is really cool. So the bulbcam

489
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: itself with the security cameras fifty dollars. Then you can

490
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: buy other light bulbs for about twenty dollars and you

491
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: can group it with up to five other bulbs. So

492
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: let's say you had a whole bunch of light fixtures

493
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: surrounding your home. You can put the security camera bulb

494
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: in one and then the five other camera light bulbs

495
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: in the others, and when the security camera senses motion,

496
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: it will turn on all the other lights at the

497
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: same time, which is just really cool.

498
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 2: It also records locally to an SD card.

499
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: Now, if you're worried about someone jacking the camera and

500
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: taking that, of course they would have all the video

501
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: as well, so that doesn't require a subscription. But if

502
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 1: you want the stuff to go into the cloud, you'd

503
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: have to pay something like three dollars a month. But

504
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: it's very easy to set up if it's just like

505
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: any of the other wise cameras. I see these things

506
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: as sort of like just workhorses. You set them up

507
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: once and they kind of just work. For a long time.

508
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: So again, the bulb cam is fifty dollars. The additional

509
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: bulbs are seventeen dollars. They're available now at wys dot com.

510
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: Last I checked, of course, because this thing is let's say,

511
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna type in wise bulb. You know how tough

512
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: it is to type while you're on the radio. It

513
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: is really impossible. But I so let's see. If you

514
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: get the bulb. It's forty nine to ninety eight ships

515
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: in one to two weeks, so that's not too bad.

516
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: And then you can get the you know, the bundle

517
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: is sixty five dollars. If you want to get one

518
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: extra bulb plus the security camera, two extra bulbs, you

519
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: can get a deal whatever.

520
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 2: Wys dot com.

521
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: They also typically sell their stuff on Amazon, but it's

522
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: not usually they wait a bit because it's pretty hot

523
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: at the beginning, so you probably can't find this on

524
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,959
Speaker 1: Amazon yet. And what I like about this is that

525
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 1: I already know people are buying these light bulb security

526
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: cameras on Amazon.

527
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 2: Don't do it.

528
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: They're junk. You don't know if they're good or not.

529
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: They're coming from a no name company. You don't know

530
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: what the security is like. Talk about a security nightmare.

531
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: You don't want to get those things, and I know

532
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: people are buying them because I got questions about them

533
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: all the time my email. This is a much safer

534
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: bet and it's not much more expensive. Yeah, it's maybe

535
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: ten dollars twenty dollars more than these cheapeas I'm seeing

536
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: on Amazon, but those are going to be all over

537
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: the The only thing to know about the Wise camera

538
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: is that it only works with two point four gigahertz.

539
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,479
Speaker 1: So if you've had problems in the past with your

540
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: router and linking up those types of devices, you could

541
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 1: have a problem with this. But most modern routers have

542
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 1: a way to do that. Okay, So that's that. I'll

543
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: put the link on the website rich on tech dot tv.

544
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: By the way, if you want any information on the

545
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: stuff that I talk about, it's all on the website

546
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: rich on tech dot TV. I take really good show notes,

547
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: so whether someone asked a question like we had Drew

548
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: asking about the printer, that will all be on the

549
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: website the show notes. This is episode one four. You

550

Speaker 2: That is just unbelievable and unbelievable number.

556
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: When I started that newsletter, I think I had, well,

557
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: probably zero, but you know a couple of people from

558
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 1: my book that sort of carried over. But to just

559
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: grow that much, it just shows that I think we're

560
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 1: sharing really good.

561
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 2: I say we.

562
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:08,399

581
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: out with you, talking technology. Let's go to Spencer in Charlotte,

582
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Spencer, you've got an update on I guess

583
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 1: some advice I gave you.

584
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 10: Yes, converting Windows ten to Windows eleven. Uh, if you

585
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 10: have a compatible motherboard that thinks that it is ready

586
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 10: for Windows eleven and you keep getting errors on your

587
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 10: uh stuff that tells you whether you can go or not?

588
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, like if you can actually upgrade? Yeah, yeah, Uh.

589
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 10: The problem the problem is with secure boot.

590
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 2: Yes, and uh, all.

591
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 10: These people that are sneaking around ah to convert their

592
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 10: systems without doing all this stuff, We're going to get

593
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 10: into trouble eventually. But the way to convert your hard drive.

594
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 10: UH to do this is, uh, you have to convert

595
00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 10: U E F I to secure boot, and UH you

596
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 10: have to turn off the compatibility support module which allows

597
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 10: you to use older biosystems.

598
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think I think were you were you listening

599
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 2: last week?

600
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: I think our guest was talking about that he was

601
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 1: ed bought the Windows security or the Windows guy. I

602
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: think he was mentioning something about that that you got

603
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: to basically disable something. But this is this is kind

604
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: of advanced, right a little bit.

605
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 10: Yeah, but if you don't do this conversion, you'll never

606
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 10: get Windows eleven.

607
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 2: To work, right, right, So you did this.

608
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 10: First, Yeah, yeah, my system turned out great. What you

609
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 10: do first is back up all your data and then

610
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,719
Speaker 10: you test that backup to make sure it works. And

611
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 10: then you open a command prop with admin access and

612
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 10: you use this command. Now, I'm going to read it

613
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 10: and read it slow so you can get it. The

614
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 10: command is m b R numeric two g p T,

615
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 10: and what that stands for is m b R is

616
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 10: a master boot record, and secure boot does not look

617
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 10: at master boot records. And the n b R numeric

618
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 10: to g p T. What GPT is is a q

619
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 10: I D partition table, which allows you to have up

620
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 10: to one hundred and twenty eight partitions on a single disc,

621
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 10: whereas NBR would only allow four. So you do the

622
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 10: n b R numeric two g p T dot e

623
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 10: x E space forward slash, convert space forward slash allow

624
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 10: full o S. That's a l l O w f U.

625
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 11: L l O s.

626
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 9: Now.

627
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 10: You fire that command off and it will convert your

628
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 10: drive to GPT and if everything does well, you uh

629
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 10: reboot the computer, go into your bios, turn off CMS

630
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 10: like CSM, and then reboot and it should should work

631
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 10: like a charm.

632
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 2: Wow, well sounds easy.

633
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 10: And then and then all you got to do is

634
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 10: load Windows eleven.

635
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 2: Okay.

636
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: Now, now I don't know if we have time to

637
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: learn how to load with is love. But so you

638
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: did this, and so your computer was giving you a

639
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,239
Speaker 1: message that said you can't get Windows eleven because of

640
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: the way it boots up, and that that secure chip

641
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,959
Speaker 1: or whatever they you know, the new computers basically have

642
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: like added security at the boot level, and that's really

643
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: what Windows wants moving forward for security and all these

644
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: different things. But if you're sort of smart and savvy,

645
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: which you seem to be, you can get around that.

646
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: If you know what you're doing. I wouldn't reckon the

647
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: average person to do this. There's a reason why Windows

648
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: are sort of stopping that. But there there's also a

649
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: reason why they're allowing it for people that sort of

650
00:30:58,400 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: know what they're doing, like yourself.

651
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 2: Would you agree with that.

652
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 10: Well, this is actually doing what WIN does want you

653
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 10: to do. Win does does not want you to do

654
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 10: master boot record anymore? When does want you to do

655
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 10: the guid petition table, which is, let's see GUID stands

656
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 10: for Global Unique Identifiers to identify partitions. And like I said,

657
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 10: NBR would only support four petitions, whereas GPT can support

658
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 10: up to one hundred and twenty eight on a single disc.

659
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: Is there a good tutorial online that I can link

660
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: up to that sort of encompasses everything you just said?

661
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: Or am I going to have to just find just

662
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: transcribe what you just said and put it in the

663
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: show notes?

664
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 10: Well, you can look up GPT format and get some information,

665
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 10: and then you can look up CXM mode and get

666
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 10: some information. Between those two kinds of lookups, it will

667
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 10: eventually get you around to those commands and how to

668
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 10: do the conversion.

669
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: All right, I love it, Well, thank you, Spencer, appreciate that.

670
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: That's uh, you know, it's a little bit more advanced,

671
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: I think than a lot of people you know that

672
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: that are just sort of casual users are in for.

673
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: But if you've been trying to update to Windows eleven,

674
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: we know that deadline is coming up. I believe it's

675
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: in October, So you know a lot of people have

676
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: been wondering about this, and that's why we had the

677
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: guest last week sort of talk about what the options are.

678
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: But the whole thing is that, you know, this idea

679
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: of Windows eleven wants your computer to boot up in

680
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: a very secure way. And so the thing is that

681
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,479
Speaker 1: Windows when they check your computer see if it's if

682
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: it's available to go to Windows eleven, they check for

683
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: this thing called secure boot, and so that's why it

684
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: sort of gives you the message that your computer can't

685
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: be updated if it doesn't immediately find that. What Spencer's

686
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: saying is that you can sort of toggle some things

687
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: and get it to go and make your computer ready

688
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: to update. So good call there. Appreciate the call. Spencer

689
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: from Charlotte, North Carolina. I thought this was interesting. The

690
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: twenty second rule to avoid scams. So we've actually had

691
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: representative from NOB four on our on our show before,

692
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: but he says two things can stop ninety nine point

693
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: nine percent of scams before they start. If you get

694
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: a message and it's unexpected and it asks you to

695
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: do something new, that's it.

696
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 2: It's all you need to know.

697
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: You get a message, whether it's on email, tech, social media, phone,

698
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: or in person, if it's unexpected and it asks you

699
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: to do something new, slow down and verify, and that's it.

700
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: That's the bottom line. Can stop ninety nine percent of

701
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: scams before they start. This is rich on Tech.

702
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 2: Welcome back to rich on Tech.

703
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you, talking technology at

704
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: triple eight rich one oh one. That's eight eight eight

705
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one. Lots to

706
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: celebrate this week, the rich on Tech newsletter has hit

707
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: fifty thousand followers, so thank you for doing that. And

708
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: then of course we've got this little uh Nintendo switch

709
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 1: to happening.

710
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people, you know.

711
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: It came out Thursday, so I bet Friday was a

712
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: very unproductive day in the office for people who purchased

713
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: that thing. Midnight launch over on the East coast, nine

714
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: pm launch on the West coast. And then of course

715
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 1: when you get these things, you want to play them.

716
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: I remember so many times over the years getting I

717
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,240
Speaker 1: mean I get, you know, every gadget at this point

718
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: sent to me. At this point, there's like a there's

719
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: too many. I don't even have the time to go,

720
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: you know, to go through all of them. But you know,

721
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: before I did this I would go out and I'd

722
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: go to Best Buy on Black Friday and I'd sit

723
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: out there and i'd wait for things and i'd get stuff,

724
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 1: and you know, it's fun, it's exciting. If you've never

725
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: done that, I get it. With the whole online stuff

726
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: is a little bit different in pre orders and.

727
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 2: Things, but it's still just fun.

728
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: It's more the camaraderie you have with all the people

729
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: around you, and it's like you're there. There are so

730
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: many things that are fragmented in our world these days.

731
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: You know, everyone's watching a different show, everyone's on a

732
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 1: different path, whatever.

733
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 2: But you know, it's like having these shared experiences.

734
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: Why do you think people have so much fun at

735
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: a ballgame or like, you know, a vacation or you know,

736
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, riding the bus to work. Whatever it is,

737
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 1: it's that shared experience that brings us together, Like me

738
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: and Adam when we get together and here, you know,

739
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: when Bobo's gone this, Adam's in for Bobo today.

740
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 2: So thank you for that, Adam. Uh eighty to eight.

741
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: Rich one oh one eight eight eight seven four to

742
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: two four one zero one Coming up this hour, We're

743
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: gonna have one of my dear friends on the show,

744
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: Brian Bishop Baal Brian. He's got a new newsletter that's

745
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 1: all about making the most of your streaming services.

746
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 2: He's got these great picks each week that.

747
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: Tell you, you know, what you can watch that is included

748
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: in the services you're probably already paying for.

749
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 2: So we'll have him in just a bit. For now,

750
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 2: let's go to let's see here line three.

751
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: Is it Margie in Fortune in California?

752
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 12: Yeah, Hi, Hi, how are you?

753
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: I am doing fantastic, Welcome to the show, Thank you

754
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: so much.

755
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 12: I was wondering, is there any kind of a program

756
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 12: out there that could help kind of create a basic

757
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 12: first draft screenplay of some ideas that you might have.

758
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 2: Hmm, good question.

759
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: I mean I think all of the you know, all

760
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: of the standard AIS can write, it can help you write.

761
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 2: Have you tried any of those or.

762
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 12: No, no, I really haven't. I was trying to find

763
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 12: something that encompassed all of it, that would lay out

764
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 12: the structure of the format, you know, just a basic

765
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 12: first draft.

766
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm looking at some ideas.

767
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously CHATCHYBT can easily you know, if you

768
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: ask it to help you with a screenplay, it can

769
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: do it. So that's number one. Then you've got Claude,

770
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:13,240
Speaker 1: which I think is actually probably a little bit better

771
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: at writing. So if you haven't tried Claude, I'd go

772
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 1: with that one first because CHATCHYBT is sort of like

773
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: a jack of all trades. It can do everything. It

774
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: does everything you know that you can think of. But

775
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: I think Claude has a little bit better command of

776
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: the English language, So I try that if you're just

777
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 1: gonna use an off the shelf kind of thing. Now,

778
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: when it comes to specialized tools, there are many out there,

779
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,240
Speaker 1: and I think this is kind of a hot topic

780
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: in you know, the the Hollywood sort of world, because

781
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: you know, AI is is this force to be reckoned

782
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: with because it can do things like write an entire

783
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: movie if you wanted it to. I'm looking at this

784
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: one called NOLANAI dot app. So this is one that

785
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: sort of works does everything, So it does covering the

786
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: full film production process from concept creation to screenwriting to

787
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: planning and stage production. So that can kind of write

788
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: and do everything you need to do. That's Nolan AI

789
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 1: dot app. Let's see here. I mean this one is

790
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: like this one's called AI Screenwriter. I mean, who thought

791
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: of that title. Wow, that's really very unique. I want

792
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: that one writing my AI screenplay. This one was built

793
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: by film industry insiders. This industry secret will set your

794
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: creativity free. Yeah, because everyone at the Academy Wards is

795
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: saying their industry secret is using AI to write a screenplay.

796
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing, Margie, I think that you know,

797
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: using AI is great, I think as a collaborator, but

798
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: I think if you're just gonna use it to write

799
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: the whole thing, it's just, you know, you gotta have

800
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: that human touch, you know, you got to have that

801
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: human kind of like the way I write my newsletter

802
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: is I write it and then I'll use AI to

803
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: sort of polish it. So it's still very very much me.

804
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: But I'm not having it. You know, you could you

805
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: could literally, and I know there's people that do this.

806
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: You could literally have AI write entire blog posts for you.

807
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 1: Like you could just say, Hey, write me a whole

808
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: blog post on the dangers of clicking random links in

809
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,439
Speaker 1: texts that you get and I'll just write a whole

810
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: blog post. And some people do that and they put

811
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,240
Speaker 1: on the web and they call that slop AI slop.

812
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: It's basically just stuff that like it's just regurgitated kind

813
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: of stuff from all over the web that it's finding

814
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: and putting together, and it just doesn't have that human

815
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: feel to it. Now, yeah, it's pretty good, but I

816
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 1: think that the human aspect of writing and then polishing

817
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: is probably better. But this AI screenwriter aiscreenwriter dot com.

818
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 1: That's interesting. And then let's see this one. Oh wow,

819
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: Deep Story. Let's see what deep story is all about. Oh,

820
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: deep Story the best free AI scriptwriter and story generator.

821
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: So again, I mean it's like if you're having someone

822
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,240
Speaker 1: come up with your whole story too. I'm a little

823
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: concerned about that. So the deep story servers are currently

824
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: undergoing maintenance. Please refresh your browser or try again. That's

825
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: not really a good sign. But look at this. You

826
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: can try out a minimal version of deep Story AI

827
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: right here on the web page. Look at that Oscar

828
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: winning sample. You don't even have to look. You could

829
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: get an Oscar winning sample right away. You can do

830
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: let's see super Bad Goodwill hunting. It's actually pretty cool.

831
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 1: Tells you the action, the character of the dialogue. You know,

832
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: I did write a screenplay one time in my life.

833
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: I will not forget this. It's actually quite good. I

834
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: was in college and I had an idea for a screenplay,

835
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,919
Speaker 1: and I'm not kidding. I locked myself in a room

836
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: for an entire weekend and I wrote the entire screenplay

837
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: from start to finish, and it's still really good. I'd

838
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 1: probably have to update it, and now that again is

839
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: something that I might use AI to update, right, And

840
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: you can't just like feed the whole thing in there

841
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: and expect it to come out perfectly. But it's one

842
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: of the things where you start with something and AI

843
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: is a really good assistant, so that's the way I'd

844
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: go for it. I gave you a couple of solutions there,

845
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 1: Claude Nolan, what was the other one? AI screenwriter and

846
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,280
Speaker 1: deepstory Dot AI and of course chat GBT is always

847
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: there as well. So good luck with the screenplay. I

848
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: hope you uh. I hope to see you on the

849
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: stage the Academy Awards in a couple of years. Maybe

850
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:24,399
Speaker 1: we'll both be up there.

851
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 2: I got it.

852
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: My kids keep saying, Dad, I want you dust off

853
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: your screenplay. I got an agent, I'm not kidding for

854
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: this screenplay, and like I sent it out to a

855
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 1: couple of people, I got like a couple calls immediately

856
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: and then they're like, wait, how young are you?

857
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 2: What do you doing?

858
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 9: What?

859
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,760
Speaker 2: And nothing ever came of it, But anyway, good question eight.

860
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: A eight rich one oh one eight eight eight seven

861
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: four to two four one zero one. AT and T

862
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: has a new discount plan for seniors. This is the

863
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 1: AT and T fifty five plus Plan. So this offers

864
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 1: unlimited talk, text, and data for just forty dollars a month. Now,

865
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: this used to be only available in Florida, and it's interesting.

866
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: I didn't realize this, but I was when I was

867
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: reading about this plan. I guess AT and T, I

868
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: guess there's a lot of I know there's a lot

869
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: of seniors in Florida, but I guess Verizon and AT

870
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 1: and T only had their senior plans available with a

871
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: Florida address. And I think with T Mobile making their

872
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 1: Senior plan nationwide, AT and T, I guess just had

873
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 1: too many people switching. And so they said, all right, fine,

874
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 1: we'll open this up to everyone. So now this applies

875
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 1: to anyone that's fifty five and up anywhere in the US,

876
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: and it's forty dollars a month for unlimited everything. And

877
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 1: you might say, rich aren't there other services out there

878
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: that you can get forty dollars a month for everything? Yes,

879
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 1: but this is AT and T and you can bundle

880
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 1: it with some other stuff as well in the future,

881
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: and so it's not a bad value. Two lines bring

882
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 1: it down to thirty five dollars per line, which makes

883
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: it sort of competitive with Mint and T Mobile. It

884
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: includes ten gigs of hot Spot data, five g access

885
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: let's see spam blocking. You're not going to get any

886
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: like Netflix or anything included, but you know, there you go.

887
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 1: So the previous AT and T senior plan in Florida

888
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: was sixty two dollars, so this is even cheaper than

889
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: it was. Now you will have to verify your age

890
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: with ID and you know, maybe this will put some

891
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: pressure on Verizon to open up their senior plan to

892
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,919
Speaker 1: other states as well. T Mobile already has theirs. Let's

893
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,720
Speaker 1: see how much is their's T mobile fifty five plan.

894
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 2: I think it's actually more expensive than this.

895
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 1: So fifty five plus on T Mobile is forty five

896
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: dollars a month, So there you go. So AT and

897
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: T kind of coming in strong with this new plan.

898
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: And by the way, I got an email from let's

899
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: see it was it Bruce. I got an email from

900
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:50,439
Speaker 1: Bruce that said, Rich, thanks for putting this new plan

901
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 1: in your newsletter. You're saving me thirty dollars a month

902
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: on my combined landline bill. Yeah, I listen. This is

903
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 1: why I listen to your valuable radio show. It's like

904
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: immersion language training for tech. Eventually, I'll probably switch my

905
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: other lines anyway, there you go, might save you some cash.

906
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 2: I'll put the link on the website. Rich on tech

907
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 2: dot TV.

908
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 1: Eight eight eight Rich one O one eight eight eight

909
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one. Coming up,

910
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about my favorite app on the iPhone

911
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: that you can finally use. I was testing it in beta.

912
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: It's available for everyone. Now that's coming up right here.

913

Speaker 13: Hi, Rich, How are you doing today?

916
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 1: Oh I'm doing fantastic. Thanks for asking. Welcome to the show.

917
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: Thank you.

918
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 14: Thursday morning. I believe it was on the Early Show

919
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 14: with and Kirk and Megan.

920
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 2: Thanks you great folks. Great group of folks, by the way,

921
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 2: they are.

922
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 13: That's phenomenal.

923
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 9: Ye.

924
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 14: Yes, so you addressed the iPhone that some of them

925
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 14: that email was working on and off, and I was

926
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 14: leondering if you had any update when I iPhone has

927
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 14: been a correct app turned updates.

928
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 2: Ah, good question. Uh, it's interesting.

929
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 1: So this is the beauty of having a bunch of

930
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,479
Speaker 1: people that email me when there's something going on. Because

931
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:23,280
Speaker 1: I got the first email about this the mail app

932
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 1: on iOS eighteen point five when people updated there was

933
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: like problems and I got the first email about it.

934
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 1: Someone said, hey, if you heard any issues about this?

935
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 1: Said no, I'd never heard anything. All of a sudden,

936
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: about an hour later, I get another email, Hey, I'm

937
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: having issues with the mail app on my iPhone.

938
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 2: What's going on?

939
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: And I said, uh, And when I get two emails

940
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: in a row, then I know something's going on. And

941
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: then I get three and four and five, and then

942
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 1: people say on Twitter, yes I'm having the same problem.

943
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I tweeted this and I couldn't believe how

944
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,839
Speaker 1: many people were saying that they had problems with their

945
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: mail app. And so yeah, basically what we know right

946
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:02,320
Speaker 1: now is that users are reporting the mail app on

947
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: the iPhone is opening to a white screen, then freezing

948
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: or crashing, and it seems linked to iOS eighteen point five,

949
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: which is interesting because I feel like that came out

950
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,280
Speaker 1: a while ago. So Apple has not acknowledged any issue

951
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: with this whatsoever just yet. People have tried restarting their phone,

952
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 1: which might work for a little bit, deleting the app,

953
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 1: reinstalling it. Some people even say turning off auto correct

954
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: might work. But all of these are temporary. Most users

955
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: do see the issues returning, and the bug seems to

956
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: be widespread, so I am assuming that Apple is working

957
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 1: on a fix behind the scenes. The thing is for

958
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 1: Apple to update this usually takes a software update, like

959
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 1: they have to do in iOS eighteen point five point

960
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,879
Speaker 1: one or something like that, so hopefully we'll see that soon.

961
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, the responses on this, a lot of people

962
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 1: had issues with this, So.

963
00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 2: Just hang tight.

964
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 1: I know it's annoying in the In the meantime, you know,

965
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 1: if you're using something like a Gmail or a Yahoo,

966
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 1: you could download the Gmail or Yahoo app, you know,

967
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: you can download their mail app and then that way

968
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: you have direct access to the mail and you don't

969
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,359
Speaker 1: have to deal with the Apple built in mail app.

970
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:19,839
Speaker 1: So that's what's happening, Cheryl. Let's hope it gets fixed soon.

971
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 1: Apple has a big event coming up this week so

972
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're they're very busy. We're getting prepared for that.

973
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 1: But I know they know about these issues. You know,

974
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,439
Speaker 1: Apple's the kind of company that doesn't really they don't

975
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 1: really acknowledge things in public. They don't say, hey, we

976
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 1: know there's a big problem with the mail app and

977
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: we're working on it.

978
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 2: They don't really do that.

979
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:42,240
Speaker 1: They will just come out with an update to iOS

980
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: and they will just say bug fixes and improvements. And

981
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 1: if they want to say that there is, like, you know,

982
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 1: they're specifically fixed an issue with the mail app, they

983
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: might say it. But again, if you want to check,

984
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 1: you have to go into software our general software update,

985
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: and right now it's iOS eighteen point five five. iOS

986
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 1: is up to date. There is nothing new to report there,

987
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 1: just yet. Appreciate the call, Cheryl eighty eight rich one

988
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: O one eight eight eight seven four to two four

989
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 1: ones around. Oh, Erica, hold on, we got more about this.

990
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 1: We got Erica, Erica and Temecula. You have the male

991
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 1: issue as well. Oh, I guess Erica got cold feet.

992
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: She she didn't want to talk on the air. Okay,

993
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: the other thing I want to tell you about this

994
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:31,720
Speaker 1: is actually a great app to download to your iPhone.

995
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 1: It's called whisper Flow wispr Flow. This is a great

996
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: dictation app for iPhone and uh your desktop. Now I've

997
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: been talking about this if you listen to this show,

998
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:44,280
Speaker 1: you know I've been talking about this in the past.

999
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 2: So it was available for Mac first.

1000
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:49,800
Speaker 1: Then it came to Windows, then it came to iPhone

1001
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 1: in beta, which I've been testing for the past couple

1002
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:55,360
Speaker 1: of months. Now it's available for iPhone for everyone. So

1003
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,799
Speaker 1: if you want to dictate stuff into your phone and

1004
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: have it perfectly format and really fast, this is incredible.

1005
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: I just absolutely love this app and I use it

1006
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:09,840
Speaker 1: every day and again it's called whisper Flow. The base,

1007
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 1: the base functionality is free. If you use it a ton,

1008
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to pay, but right now it is free,

1009
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 1: So I'll put a link on the website. Rich on

1010
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 1: tech dot TV. I'm getting a lot of emails back

1011
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: from folks who have downloaded this and they're all saying, yes,

1012
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: they absolutely love it. So that's a good thing. All right,

1013
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 1: Before hang on, we got our let's see here. We

1014
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 1: got our guests coming up. Bald Brian Brian Bishop. He

1015
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: is going to talk about this newsletter that he does

1016
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 1: and give you some of his backstory that's quite interesting.

1017
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 1: But this week on TV I featured these apps that

1018
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 1: help you sort of keep a watch list of the

1019
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: things that you want to stream next. So I'll tell

1020
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 1: you about a couple of these and then tell you

1021
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: which one I've been using. But first off is kernel

1022
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: K E R and E L like popcorn Kernel. This

1023
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 1: is only for the iPhone. But what's neat about this

1024
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: is that it's very simple. It gets you right to

1025
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: the movies you want to stream, but you can make

1026
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: multiple lists. So I think that's what people like about

1027
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 1: this is that if you want certain movies to watch

1028
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 1: with your kids, or certain movies to watch with your

1029
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 1: wife or your husband, whatever, you can make multiple lists.

1030
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: And I think that's what's cool about that one. Showly,

1031
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: this one is great overall. It just has a lot

1032
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,320
Speaker 1: of good information. I think the streaming links are a

1033
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: little annoying, but they've got a ton of information on

1034
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: this app called Showly. Then you've got an app called

1035
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:29,959
Speaker 1: Real Good ore E E L Good.

1036
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,359
Speaker 2: This is probably one of the best apps out there.

1037
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 1: It supports nearly every major streaming service, you pick the

1038
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 1: ones that you have. It only shows you the stuff

1039
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 1: that's on those which is really nice. It's got sort

1040
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: of a blended rating system, so it uses its own

1041
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 1: proprietary ratings, but that one's good. And then the one

1042
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 1: I've been using is called just Watch. And what I

1043
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:51,280
Speaker 1: like about this is that it gives you direct links

1044
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 1: to the movies right on. Your services got a million

1045
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 1: ways to sort of filter the movies you want to watch.

1046
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 1: The only one filter that I want that us money

1047
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 1: is the one that filters by runtime. Sometimes I only

1048
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 1: have ninety minutes to watch a movie and I want

1049
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 1: to see all my shortest movies in order, but that

1050
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: requires a paid upgrade. The other one that people like

1051
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 1: is called letterboxed L E T T E R B

1052
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 1: O x D. This is very minimalistic, but is what

1053
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 1: all the kids are using. So there you go.

1054
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:21,240
Speaker 2: I'll link them all up on the website.

1055
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:24,839
Speaker 1: Rich on tech dot TV more movie talk coming up

1056
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 1: next with Bald Brian Brian Bishop. Right here, I'm rich

1057
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: on tech. We were just talking about movie tracking apps.

1058
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 1: You know this idea of I always want to go

1059
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 1: to the movie theater, but of course time I can't.

1060
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 1: So every movie that comes out like add to my

1061
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:45,839
Speaker 1: list and it just continues to grow. Of all these

1062
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 1: movies I want to see here to talk about. He's

1063
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: come out with like a great newsletter he has. He's

1064
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 1: my friend, Brian Bishop. Okay, bald Brian. If you've ever

1065
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: heard him on the radio. He basically asked me to

1066
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 1: lunch a couple of months ago and said, hey, Rich,

1067
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 1: I know you do a newsletter. I might start one.

1068
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: I said absolutely, It's the best thing I've ever done.

1069
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 1: And he's like, I might talk about movies. I said,

1070
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: do it. And he has come out with this newsletter

1071
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 1: and it is fantastic, great, great recommendations on streaming services

1072
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 1: and the stuff that's in the theaters.

1073
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 2: Brian Bishop, welcome to the show.

1074
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:19,000

00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 5: You know what, That's what I love about it. It's

1080
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 5: it's a verbose.

1081
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 9: It is.

1082
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 2: But here's the thing.

1083
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,399
Speaker 1: You know, some people pay like they upgrade to pay,

1084
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,439
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I want to give everyone their Money's worth,

1085
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: even the people that are you know, everyone gets it

1087
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 1: But you know, it's just I feel like I want

1088
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: to give people their value.

1089
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:52,440
Speaker 15: Well, here's as long as we're talking about movies. People

1090
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:55,279
Speaker 15: you know, complained about long movies. There's no such thing

1091
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 15: as a good movie that's too long. Like a good

1092
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 15: movie you want to keep going on.

1093
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 5: And on and on.

1094
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,399
Speaker 15: Now, there are plenty of bad movies that are too long,

1095
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 15: whether they actually are long movies three hours or yeah,

1096
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 15: if they're long in an hour and forty five minutes,

1097
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 15: like the length is as long as it needs to be,

1098
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 15: if that makes sense.

1099
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:15,840
Speaker 2: Well, and some of them, okay, so I will This

1100
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 2: is a great example. I don't know if you remember this.

1101
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 2: I'm sure you do.

1102
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 1: The movie The Irishman, sure, okay, Now I know it

1103
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,920
Speaker 1: got mixed reviews. I personally loved it, like I loved

1104
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:27,320
Speaker 1: every second of that movie.

1105
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 5: And it was up for Best Picture.

1106
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 2: It was oh well, okay, well I thought I was

1107
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 2: the only one that liked it.

1108
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 15: But anyway, but you know what there was there was

1109
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 15: a little bit of a pushback, but go on, three hours,

1110
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 15: twenty nine minutes and I'm not kidding.

1111
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 2: When that thing ended, I was still wanting more.

1112
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 1: And I guess that goes to show that like, if

1113
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 1: you like it, you're gonna want more of it.

1114
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly for me.

1115
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,959
Speaker 15: Maybe that's The Godfather where it's over three hours long,

1116
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 15: but I am never I've seen that movie ten twelve times.

1117
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:56,800
Speaker 5: I've never been like, that's a little lone.

1118
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 1: Okay, So we're talking to Brian Bishop bald Brian.

1119
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:00,760
Speaker 2: We have a history.

1120
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 1: We went to school together and we've been friends ever since.

1121
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 1: For better or for worse, I guess checkered past. He

1122
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 1: obviously was on radio for many years with Adam Carolla.

1123
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:16,240
Speaker 1: He does his own podcast now called The Film Vault.

1124
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 1: He just started a newsletter called The Baldywood Newsletter on substack,

1125
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 1: so definitely subscribe to it on Instagram at bald Brian. So, Brian,

1126
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 1: first off, I know you had a long history in radio,

1127
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:31,960
Speaker 1: but then you got cancer at some point during that time.

1128
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 2: You've talked about your journey. How are you doing right now?

1129
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 5: It's still a.

1130
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:39,319
Speaker 15: Personal rich I was ready to talk about movies, but

1131
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 15: I guess I guess we can change it up a

1132
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:45,359
Speaker 15: little bit. No, I was diagnosed at age thirty, right

1133
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 15: in between when the Adam Crawler radio show ended and

1134
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 15: the Adam Kraler podcast began, and was writing that nestle

1135
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 15: in nuts spot and yeah, I was two months out

1136
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 15: of our away from our wedding with my fiance now wife.

1137
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 15: I'm glad to say that was two thousand and nine

1138
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 15: when I was given six months to live, and spoiler alert,

1139
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 15: I'm still here doing well. Thank you for asking. I

1140
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 15: don't know if you after or not, but thank you

1141
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 15: for I assume you're curious. But yeah, it's been just

1142
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:22,359
Speaker 15: past sixteen years of diagnosis and it's been awful at

1143
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,239
Speaker 15: times that you've seen personally you and your wife and

1144
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 15: your family, but also it's given me some opportunities do

1145
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:32,879
Speaker 15: some pretty amazing things. So it's been a real double

1146
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 15: edged sort of real journey. But glad to be here.

1147
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: It's all been living for this moment, and I've seen

1148
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 1: Brian on the ups and the downs. I would say,

1149
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,400
Speaker 1: at this point you're at your best you've been in

1150
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:44,839
Speaker 1: a long time, so I really appreciate that.

1151
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 15: It's scary to say this is about as good as yets,

1152
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 15: but this is this is this is my peak.

1153
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:53,720
Speaker 2: Now you've been open about your journey.

1154
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 1: I know, so people I'm sure ask you, like, are

1155
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:59,840
Speaker 1: there any movies that really portray illness or recovery that

1156
00:55:59,880 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 1: you recommend?

1157
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 2: Is there anything that you like?

1158
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 15: No, this is the first time I've ever talked about it.

1159
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 15: One of the best movies just movies. Just a great

1160
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 15: movie I've seen in the last ten years, and a

1161
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:15,880
Speaker 15: movie that really is insightful as it pertains to a

1162
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 15: cancer journey is fifty to fifty, the movie with Joseph

1163
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 15: Gordon Levitt and Seth Rogen and Kendrick.

1164
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 5: Just a great movie.

1165
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 15: On his face, it's kind of like sixth sense, not

1166
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 15: like this sixth sense, but in the sense that it's

1167
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 15: a great movie and it's got a great twist, but

1168
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 15: it's great without the twist. Fifty to fifty is a

1169
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 15: great movie by itself. The fact that it speaks to

1170
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:45,320
Speaker 15: me so personally, with so many great insightful cancer moments

1171
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 15: and references is just bonus.

1172
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:48,760
Speaker 5: It's just a great movie.

1173
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 15: A lot of knowing references from someone the writer who

1174
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 15: obviously lived the story.

1175
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:56,719
Speaker 5: There are plenty of times during that movie where I'd.

1176
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 15: Be like, oh, yeah, that's something I recognized, that's something

1177
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:02,240
Speaker 15: up to make so that's that's a great one.

1178
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 1: Okay, I remember when that came out. I'll put that

1179
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,479
Speaker 1: on my list.

1180
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 15: Know you you you it's a great so I I

1181
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 15: my personal, my my proprietary definition of a great date

1182
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 15: movie is it, you know, a movie that's romantic or whatever.

1183
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 15: It's a movie that I think men and women can

1184
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 15: enjoy equally. It's not a guy movie, it's not a

1185
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 15: chick like. It's just it's a great movie that can

1186
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 15: be enjoyed by everyone.

1187
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 10: Uh.

1188
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 5: And I think fifty to fifty is is right there.

1189
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 2: In that sweet spot all right, women like it? I

1190
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 2: like that has the title.

1191
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 1: Okay, so now you've started this newsletter, which I think

1192
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 1: is fantastic.

1193
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 2: You know, you're a great writer.

1194
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:45,840
Speaker 1: You've got good opinions on things, except for Transformers that

1195
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 1: you know you recommend often. Sure, But notwithstanding that, what

1196
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 1: I like about it is that you always have a

1197
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 1: couple of picks. Like you talk about the major movie

1198
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 1: in the theater, but you also talk about the like

1199
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 1: hidden gems on the streaming services. And I think that's

1200
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 1: really what people want, because like we're all paying for Netflix,

1201
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 1: we're all paying for Peacock or whatever these things are.

1202
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:06,000
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm the only one.

1203
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 5: But you want to I'm blaming whatever you've got. I've

1204
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 5: got twice moody.

1205
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: You want to get the Criterion Channel because I don't

1206
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 1: even know what that is. I'm movie though, I'm a

1207
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 1: big movie No, I'm just kidding. Sure, I've heard of

1208
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 1: that one. So how do you I mean, you're seeing

1209
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 1: like how many movies a week? And how do you

1210
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 1: decide what to put in this newsletter?

1211
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:28,720
Speaker 15: Typically I see about three movies a week, some new,

1212
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 15: some old. We we talk about them all in the

1213
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 15: film BA podcast you mentioned earlier.

1214
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 5: But uh yeah, I try to.

1215
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 15: I talk about a new movie in the newsletter and

1216
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 15: this in theaters if it's worth talking about. There's plenty

1217
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 15: of times where movies just that great, and I don't

1218
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 15: like I don't like talking crash about movies.

1219
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 5: I love movies. I want every movie I seem to

1220
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 5: be good.

1221
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 15: So the fact that I see ones that aren't great,

1222
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 15: I just let them go and they can, you know,

1223
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 15: do whatever they do.

1224
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 5: Sometimes it's your huge hits and don't even my help.

1225
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 15: But then my my secret sauce. The thing that I

1226
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 15: hope makes the newsletter kind of stand out is like

1227
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 15: you allude to those hidden gems.

1228
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 5: Those movies that are great.

1229
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 15: Should have been seen by more people, aren't seen by

1230
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 15: more people, And I want to bring them up and

1231
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 15: bring them to people's attention, but also give that sort

1232
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:24,440
Speaker 15: of oddly specific scenario where you'd want to watch that movie,

1233
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 15: like for fifty to fifty maybe that's.

1234
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 5: A little more well known or maybe not, but you

1235
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 5: haven't seen it.

1236
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 15: But like I might say, oh, I want a date

1237
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:34,920
Speaker 15: movie that my wife and I are going to enjoy.

1238
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 5: Equally, I might say, right, well, you know what, fifty

1239
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 5: fifty is your choice?

1240
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 1: So and I bookmarked so many of the movies you recommend,

1241
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 1: so I've gotten my list in a world you recommended

1242
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 1: a couple of months show, let's see the Spanish Prisoner

1243
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 1: you recommend? I mean, these are movies that you know.

1244
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 1: I've been out for a while, but it's like new

1245
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: to me, Philomena. Was that on your list? That's okay,

1246
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 1: that's on my list. So my wife and I ended

1247
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 1: up watching Nana's Last Night or Nona's.

1248
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 5: Oh I haven't seen it? How was it?

1249
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 1: Well, we only got halfway through. It's very depressing, like

1250
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 1: everyone dies in that movie, which is really sad.

1251
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:08,280
Speaker 2: But I love it did not.

1252
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 5: I did not recommend it.

1253
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 1: I did not recommend that. All right, we got to run.

1254
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 1: But you have any recommendations you want to tell people

1255
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:18,919
Speaker 1: about the UH under the radar gem, a recent must watch,

1256
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 1: a classic?

1257
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 2: What do you want to?

1258
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 1: What do you want to?

1259
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, the one.

1260
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 15: The ones that you mentioned are very indicative of what

1261
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 15: I go for in the newsletter, which is, you know,

1262
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 15: ones that fell through the cracks, ones that you may

1263
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 15: have heard of but I haven't seen, or or like

1264
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 15: a movie that you know you just don't want to

1265
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 15: spend the time in the hassle of finding something.

1266
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:37,760
Speaker 5: Just listen to me. I know what I'm talking about,

1267
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 5: and I really want everyone to love the movies. I

1268
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:41,960

1298
01:01:54,800 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 1: Back to the phone lines. Right after this, let's go

1299
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 1: to Jim and Hammett. Jim, you're on with Writch.

1300
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 9: Hey, how are you doing.

1301
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 2: I am doing fantastic.

1302
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 9: I'm glad you're doing great. My question is can you

1303
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:17,520
Speaker 9: hear me?

1304
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:18,440
Speaker 2: Yeah? I hear you?

1305
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 10: All right?

1306
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 13: My question is I get a lot of pictures.

1307
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 9: From my employees, and most of them are on Samsung,

1308
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 9: but some of them are on.

1309
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:40,760
Speaker 10: Apple, and the Apple has the HC.

1310
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 9: Whatever it is. So when I try and download them

1311
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:55,000
Speaker 9: on my PC, my PC says they don't understand them.

1312
01:02:56,040 --> 01:03:03,640
Speaker 9: So I have to put them in Google Drive save

1313
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:09,959
Speaker 9: them as the JPEG so I can download them.

1314
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 2: Yes, what can what can I help you with in

1315
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 2: that process?

1316
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:16,720
Speaker 9: My question is is there a way to do that

1317
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 9: quicker are faster between you know, as Samsung and a

1318
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 9: Jay and Ale.

1319
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:29,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look the easy.

1320
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 1: So what's what's happening here is that the people that

1321
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: are using their iPhone iPhone switched to this new format,

1322
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:39,720
Speaker 1: like you said, h I C, right, And the reason

1323
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 1: why that format is nice is s h I C

1324
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:46,640
Speaker 1: or h I F Yeah, h I C. And so

1325
01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 1: the reason why people like that is or why Apple

1326
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 1: likes it is because it's it's more efficient, right, It's

1327
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:57,040
Speaker 1: like you can store more data in a smaller amount,

1328
01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 1: and you know.

1329
01:03:58,120 --> 01:03:59,520
Speaker 2: And also it's just Apple being Apple.

1330
01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 1: I feel like like sometimes they just change things that

1331
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 1: like everyone in the world knows jpeg, and all of

1332
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 1: a sudden, iPhones start taking pictures in this hchic format. Now,

1333
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's probably fine, and I'm sure it's better

1334
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 1: in some way, but for a lot of people it

1335
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:15,480
Speaker 1: causes issues, like you're saying, So the first thing you

1336
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:18,000
Speaker 1: can do is, if you're getting these from the same

1337
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 1: people over and over, you can just say, hey, do

1338
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:23,120
Speaker 1: you mind changing the format on your phone. I don't

1339
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 1: know how close you are with these people, if they're employees,

1340
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 1: whatever might be a tall order, but I've changed it

1341
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:30,080
Speaker 1: on my phone because it just got to be so

1342
01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:32,960
Speaker 1: annoying that half the people this would work with, and

1343
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 1: myself when I try to upload a picture to a

1344
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:38,960
Speaker 1: website or something, it doesn't work because it's achic. Then

1345
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 1: if you convert it, and it's easy enough to convert,

1346
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 1: but it takes a little bit to do that. So

1347
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:46,960
Speaker 1: Number one, if you are having this similar issue, go

1348
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 1: into your settings, tap camera and under formats you'll see

1349
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:56,160
Speaker 1: camera capture high efficiency or most compatible. Most compatible is

1350
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:59,560
Speaker 1: going to keep it in JPEG. High efficiency is going

1351
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:02,600
Speaker 1: to be the h G I F or h G

1352
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:07,360
Speaker 1: I C format, whatever they whatever it's called. Now, Jim

1353
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:10,400
Speaker 1: for you on the back end here trying to figure

1354
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:13,240
Speaker 1: out what to do with this. What I would do

1355
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:15,240
Speaker 1: is you could do it could do a couple of things.

1356
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:17,880
Speaker 1: You can download an app from Windows from Windows Store

1357
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:20,280
Speaker 1: to transform these, which sounds like you might have already

1358
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:22,480
Speaker 1: been doing. Actually no, it sounded like you were doing

1359
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:25,640
Speaker 1: Google Photos. That's a very like roundabout way of doing it.

1360
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 1: I don't think you should do that. I think go

1361
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 1: into Windows Store see if they have an app that

1362
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:30,680
Speaker 1: will do that.

1363
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 2: If not, there's website. There's a website called.

1364
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:38,800
Speaker 1: Vert v E R T dot s H and basically

1365
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:41,920
Speaker 1: short for convert and you can go in there and

1366
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:44,000
Speaker 1: it will You can drag and drop the picture and

1367
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:45,920
Speaker 1: it will convert it into a jpeg. I mean, it's

1368
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:49,680
Speaker 1: really pretty simple. So that's probably what I would do.

1369
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 1: And you could drop a bunch of them and that's

1370
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:55,880
Speaker 1: probably the easiest way to do it. There's also websites

1371
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 1: that will do it, but again you can either get

1372
01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:00,160
Speaker 1: a piece of software or use the website to do it.

1373
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 1: That's probably what I would do. I'm trying to see

1374
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:07,480
Speaker 1: if there is a Windows app that will do this.

1375
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 1: Let me see here, let's see the built in photos app.

1376
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 1: But you see see the Windows doesn't seem to like

1377
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:20,280
Speaker 1: it very much, so it doesn't seem to really like

1378
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:22,680
Speaker 1: that format, which is why you're having trouble with it.

1379
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 1: It looks like you have to pay at least a

1380
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 1: dollar for an extension to let Windows natively open these files.

1381
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:32,040
Speaker 1: You can get third party software that can do it.

1382
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, it looks like So this actually looks like

1383
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:41,480
Speaker 1: the best one interesting copy trans hi c And what's

1384
01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:44,080
Speaker 1: nice about that is it will make a right click

1385
01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:46,160
Speaker 1: in Windows Explorer to convert it.

1386
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:48,680
Speaker 2: But how much do they charge for this app?

1387
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:54,160
Speaker 1: Is the question? Personal usage? Free download? There you go,

1388
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Let's see if it is there

1389
01:06:57,040 --> 01:06:59,560
Speaker 1: a price? That might be the way to do it.

1390
01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 1: Copy dot net looks like they have copy trans Hic

1391
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:07,000
Speaker 1: for Window open and convert hic files in your Windows PC,

1392
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 1: and it looks like it adds it to a right

1393
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:14,120
Speaker 1: click and it says free and premium plans. So I

1394
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 1: would try that first, and that's probably gonna be the

1395
01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 1: easiest just because then you don't have to worry about

1396
01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 1: moving it anywhere else. You can just do that right

1397
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:27,440
Speaker 1: inside your your Windows Explorer. But again, you have a

1398
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:31,480
Speaker 1: lot of options. Not ideal, but there are ways of converting,

1399
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:33,960
Speaker 1: and you know, unless the person changes it on their

1400
01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:36,480
Speaker 1: end with their iPhone, you're gonna be stuck with the

1401
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 1: conversion on your end.

1402
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:40,480
Speaker 2: So good question. Thanks for the call, appreciate it.

1403
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 1: Speaking of photos, Photoshop has come to Android. They've had

1404
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:48,360
Speaker 1: some versions in the past, but this is like the

1405
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 1: new Photoshop beta app, free to download on Google Play,

1406
01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:56,439
Speaker 1: works on Android eleven plus devices with at least six

1407
01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:59,960
Speaker 1: gigs of RAM. It's got all the iconic Photoshop tool

1408
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 1: built in, like layers and masks and clone stamp, magic

1409
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 1: wand it also has some of the AI features, So

1410
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:10,440
Speaker 1: Firefly AI is Adobe's brand of AI. You can use

1411
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 1: that to easily add or remove objects or backgrounds, so

1412
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 1: again you can use this on your phone to make thumbnails,

1413
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:20,559
Speaker 1: artwork whatever you want. It's got pretty much everything you

1414
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:24,120
Speaker 1: need and free access to some Adobe stock assets. Now

1415
01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:26,479
Speaker 1: this is in beta, so a lot of the features

1416
01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:28,720
Speaker 1: are free, but eventually they might cost something. But if

1417
01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:31,439
Speaker 1: you've been waiting for Photoshop to come to Android, it

1418
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:34,880
Speaker 1: is on Android at this point in beta. It came

1419
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:38,559
Speaker 1: to the iPhone earlier this year, and of course it's like, oh, sure,

1420
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:39,920
Speaker 1: you come to the iPhone first.

1421
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:41,360
Speaker 2: When are you going to come to Android? And now

1422
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:42,519
Speaker 2: it actually has.

1423

Speaker 1: Eighty eight rich one oh one eight eight eight seven

1440
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 1: some more of your calls as well. I was doing

1441
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:35,360
Speaker 1: the self checkout thing this week, you know, at one

1442
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:38,200
Speaker 1: of the registers at the grocery store. My kids helping me,

1443
01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:40,840
Speaker 1: and I'm not kidding the entire tay. It is just

1444
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:43,639
Speaker 1: the worst experience ever. Depends on the place you go,

1445
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:46,960
Speaker 1: but this self checkout, you know, it's like some companies

1446
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:49,639
Speaker 1: have decided we're going to make our self checkout really

1447
01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 1: easy and you know, not so bad. Other companies said,

1448
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:55,120
Speaker 1: you know, they just decided we're going to make it

1449
01:09:55,160 --> 01:10:00,200
Speaker 1: the worst possible experience for a human being. Now, this

1450
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:04,360
Speaker 1: particular location, I will not name names, but it's sort

1451
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:06,599
Speaker 1: of like a first person's name. It's a very prominent

1452
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:11,719
Speaker 1: grocery store and it's really bad. And every single item

1453
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:13,439
Speaker 1: you've got to scan it and then it's got to

1454
01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:15,600
Speaker 1: go on the side where you put it like in

1455
01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:17,479
Speaker 1: this little thing. And so the way the system works

1456
01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:20,240
Speaker 1: is every item is weighed, and so when you scan

1457
01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 1: about a carton of milk, the system knows how much

1458
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:26,160
Speaker 1: that milk weighs, and then you have to put that

1459
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:28,280
Speaker 1: milk on the side and there's like the whole thing

1460
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:31,640
Speaker 1: is a scale and it weighs the milk and so

1461
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:33,439
Speaker 1: it knows you put it there. It's like, okay, that's

1462
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 1: that's the right thing they scanned. They're not stealing.

1463
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:37,800
Speaker 2: And you know, we.

1464
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:39,519
Speaker 1: Kept scanning stuff putting it in the bags, and the

1465
01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:41,880
Speaker 1: thing just kept flagging and flagging. The lady comes over

1466
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:44,640
Speaker 1: and she was really not very nice and she's like,

1467
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:46,479
Speaker 1: you can't put the stuff in the bags while your

1468
01:10:46,520 --> 01:10:49,519
Speaker 1: bag while you're checking out. So what what do you mean,

1469
01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:51,800
Speaker 1: I can't put stuff in bags while I'm checking out

1470
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:54,600
Speaker 1: at the grocery store. And she's like, no, it's you know,

1471
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:57,280
Speaker 1: that's that's you know, you're trying to cheat the system

1472
01:10:57,320 --> 01:10:57,599
Speaker 1: or something.

1473
01:10:57,600 --> 01:10:59,439
Speaker 2: I said, We're not trying to cheat the system. We're

1474
01:10:59,439 --> 01:10:59,960
Speaker 2: trying to check out.

1475
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:02,880
Speaker 1: So I did not ask to be hired as a

1476
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:05,680
Speaker 1: checkout clerk at a grocery store. That was not on

1477
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:08,120
Speaker 1: my list of things I wanted to do today. But

1478
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:10,880
Speaker 1: you have made me do it because guess what, every

1479
01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:14,200
Speaker 1: single aisle at this store, every single checkout register is

1480
01:11:14,240 --> 01:11:17,560
Speaker 1: closed except for the ten or twenty that you've converted

1481
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:18,599
Speaker 1: into self checkout.

1482
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:22,519
Speaker 2: And so you're making me do this. Don't treat me like.

1483
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 1: A shoplifter because you've decided not to staff the registers.

1484
01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:29,960
Speaker 1: That's what's happening now at Target on Name Names because

1485
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:32,599
Speaker 1: they actually have a good checkout system. They don't let

1486
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:34,680
Speaker 1: you self check out anymore if you have more than

1487
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:37,559
Speaker 1: like ten things. I guess people were just throwing stuff

1488
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:39,800
Speaker 1: in bags. It was like, you know, left and right.

1489
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:42,800
Speaker 1: But the big thing is that this self checkout, it's

1490
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:45,800
Speaker 1: like the stores have to decide do you want us

1491
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:48,320
Speaker 1: to check out and just assume, yeah, there's gonna be

1492
01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:50,720
Speaker 1: some level of theft, or do you want to come

1493
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:53,320
Speaker 1: up with a better system that actually works for the people. Now,

1494
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:55,200
Speaker 1: I will tell you I checked out just before the

1495
01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:58,439
Speaker 1: show at an Amazon Fresh and it was a very

1496
01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:02,000
Speaker 1: nice experience. System must have been written from the ground

1497
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:04,200
Speaker 1: up by Amazon, because it just worked.

1498
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:06,240
Speaker 2: Now I will tell you I did.

1499
01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:09,640
Speaker 1: I did scan an item twice by accident, and I

1500
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:11,960
Speaker 1: just because it asked me to call someone over and

1501
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:13,439
Speaker 1: there's no one to call over. I just walked to

1502
01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:17,920
Speaker 1: a different self checkout and just started over again. So

1503
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:19,880
Speaker 1: whoever goes to that one has to deal with my

1504
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:25,280
Speaker 1: uh my half order. I guess let's go to Marshall.

1505
01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna try Marshall again in Studio City.

1506
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 2: Marshall, you're on with I'm here? What's up?

1507
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 9: I got you?

1508
01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:35,760
Speaker 13: First of all, I know that Ralph I hate them too.

1509
01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:38,960
Speaker 2: I did not name names, Marshall, Okay, I.

1510
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 13: Will, but anyways, I hope you deplete me out. But anyways,

1511
01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:43,280
Speaker 13: I gotta ask. I have the note I have not

1512
01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:46,880
Speaker 13: to note the Samsung twenty five Ultra, and I thought

1513
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:48,439
Speaker 13: I heard you tell when you were heard they were

1514
01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:53,360
Speaker 13: first introducing it that the batteries were being for environmentally,

1515
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 13: they were using recycled, like refurbished batteries. Because I'm having

1516
01:12:57,280 --> 01:12:59,479
Speaker 13: a pavern with my battery I had when I was

1517
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:01,680
Speaker 13: targe to it came up like a yellow triangle with

1518
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:04,479
Speaker 13: an exclamation point during the time at one point it

1519
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 13: never happened again. But it's charge is slow. And I

1520
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:09,400
Speaker 13: have two different cables and two different blocks from Best Buys,

1521
01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:11,600
Speaker 13: so I know they're pretty you know, credible, you know,

1522
01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:15,559
Speaker 13: equipment like that, and yet it's charging slow. They when

1523
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:17,519
Speaker 13: I talked to Team Mobile, my carrier, they said they

1524
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:19,679
Speaker 13: never heard of such a thing. Did you not tell

1525
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:22,559
Speaker 13: when you were introducing the Samsung twenty five vols a

1526
01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:25,120
Speaker 13: while back that they're using refurbished batteries.

1527
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:28,719
Speaker 1: Well, they're not refurbished batteries. What these all these companies

1528
01:13:28,760 --> 01:13:32,759
Speaker 1: are doing is they're using recovered materials in their batteries.

1529
01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:35,360
Speaker 1: So it's not like the battery is fresh. It's just

1530
01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:38,280
Speaker 1: the recycling some of the you know, precious metals and

1531
01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:41,120
Speaker 1: things that are in these batteries and using them over

1532
01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:45,800
Speaker 1: So explain, Wait, what's what's the problem with the battery again, it.

1533
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 13: Doesn't charge its fast well, it' stop charging altogether. At

1534
01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:52,080
Speaker 13: one point it had a yellow triangle with an exclamation

1535
01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:54,400
Speaker 13: point on my screen. Okay, hey, but other times I

1536
01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:56,720
Speaker 13: have it, we're super fast charging. I'm going to my

1537
01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:59,000
Speaker 13: cables and like that. Yeah, and it takes over two

1538
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:00,439
Speaker 13: and a half hours for it to get a fold

1539
01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:00,720
Speaker 13: and hard.

1540
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:02,840
Speaker 1: Okay, well, it sounds like there could be an issue

1541
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:06,000
Speaker 1: with your phone because I have the S twenty five Ultra.

1542
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:08,320
Speaker 1: I've used a lot of Samsung products and they I

1543
01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:11,960
Speaker 1: actually think they charge really well and quite fast, especially

1544
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:13,439
Speaker 1: when you see that. What I'd like you to do,

1545
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:16,599
Speaker 1: there is an app you can download for free. It's

1546
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:20,840
Speaker 1: called the Samsung Members App, and so you download that

1547
01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:24,000
Speaker 1: app and they have a diagnostic for your phone built

1548
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:28,400
Speaker 1: into this app. So if you go into the Samsung

1549
01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:31,000
Speaker 1: Members App, open it up lower right hand corner, it

1550
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:34,160
Speaker 1: says support. You tap that and then you can run

1551
01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:37,920
Speaker 1: through a diagnostic and it will test everything. We're talking

1552
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:43,120
Speaker 1: the battery, the NFC, SIM power restart, official software, Mobile network, sensors, camera,

1553
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 1: It tests it all and then it will give you

1554
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:48,920
Speaker 1: the results. And so once you get the results, you

1555
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:52,280
Speaker 1: can tap battery status to see what it says about

1556
01:14:52,280 --> 01:14:55,720
Speaker 1: your battery and mindsets normal life. Good tells you the

1557
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:59,479
Speaker 1: capacity and if that's a problem, you can check the

1558
01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:03,559
Speaker 1: battery usage. But it sounds to me like if you're

1559
01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:05,840
Speaker 1: having this many issues, a couple of things could be happening.

1560
01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:08,760
Speaker 1: If you're not using a good charging cable, that could

1561
01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:11,479
Speaker 1: be the problem. And so what I'd recommend is making

1562
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:13,640
Speaker 1: sure you have a thirty watt plug in charger with

1563
01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 1: a reputable cable attached. And then I would also check

1564
01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:18,960
Speaker 1: the bottom of your phone, make sure that there's nothing

1565
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:21,680
Speaker 1: caught in there. Could be lint, could be you know,

1566
01:15:21,720 --> 01:15:25,439
Speaker 1: something could be caught in that charging cable. Because if

1567
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:28,120
Speaker 1: it's saying fast charging, it usually gives a time of

1568
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:29,840
Speaker 1: how long it's going to take to charge. It should

1569
01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:33,000
Speaker 1: not be taking, you know, well, it should be taking

1570
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:36,200
Speaker 1: whatever time it says on there. So that's what i'd recommend.

1571
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:39,880
Speaker 1: Marshall the recycled battery, I don't think. I don't think

1572
01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:43,479
Speaker 1: it has anything to do with the performance of the battery.

1573
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:46,720
Speaker 1: I mean, Samsung is a big company. They have a

1574
01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:50,439
Speaker 1: lot of experience with batteries, and I don't think that

1575
01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 1: they would put something in there. That's not going to work,

1576
01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:56,400
Speaker 1: especially on a brand new phone that they make millions of.

1577
01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:58,200
Speaker 1: So if you do have a problem with the S

1578
01:15:58,240 --> 01:16:02,519
Speaker 1: twenty five Ultra, I would invoke your warranty. I mean

1579
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:04,519
Speaker 1: that phone has not been out for a year just yet,

1580
01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:06,840
Speaker 1: so I would go with a warranty on that That's

1581
01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:08,320
Speaker 1: a brand new phone. I mean, didn't it come out

1582
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:12,880
Speaker 1: in January. So figure out the warranty situation and bring

1583
01:16:12,920 --> 01:16:14,720
Speaker 1: that in. And if that app says something wrong. If

1584
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:16,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't say anything wrong, it could be how you're

1585
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:19,679
Speaker 1: charging or what you're doing, so I would make sure

1586
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:21,400
Speaker 1: that you've got the right charger set up on that

1587
01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:24,840
Speaker 1: phone as well. Thanks for the call, Marshall, appreciate it.

1588
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:27,760
Speaker 1: Good listener was listening to what I said when that

1589
01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:28,519
Speaker 1: phone came out.

1590
01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:29,759
Speaker 2: If you're using.

1591
01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:32,679
Speaker 1: PayPal in Google Wallet, it will no longer work starting

1592
01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:36,040
Speaker 1: on June thirteenth, So if you have your PayPal linked up,

1593
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 1: it will automatically be deleted from the Google Wallet app.

1594
01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:42,960
Speaker 1: So this will affect your instore payments. You will not

1595
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:45,799
Speaker 1: be able to tap to pay with PayPal via Google

1596
01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:49,080
Speaker 1: Wallet anymore. Google says this was PayPal's decision, not theirs,

1597
01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:52,760
Speaker 1: so check your email for more details from PayPal. If

1598
01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 1: you want to still use your PayPal account, you can

1599
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:57,840
Speaker 1: link up a PayPal debit card just like you would

1600
01:16:57,920 --> 01:17:00,360
Speaker 1: any other card you put into Google Wallet. You would

1601
01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:03,120
Speaker 1: add that directly to Google Wallet. This has been a

1602
01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:06,120
Speaker 1: long time. They started this integration back in twenty seventeen.

1603
01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:09,040
Speaker 1: But I guess PayPal either no one's using this or

1604
01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:12,000
Speaker 1: it's just not part of their plan anymore. So Uh,

1605
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:14,640
Speaker 1: there you have it if you have Google Wallet in

1606
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:18,560
Speaker 1: a PayPal in Google Wallet no longer happening after June thirteenth.

1607
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:20,720
Speaker 1: All right, more on the website, rich On Tech dot

1608
01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:23,760
Speaker 1: TV eighty eight rich one on one eight eight eight

1609

Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one. Coming up,

1610
01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:29,320
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about the new study that reveals the

1611
01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:32,880
Speaker 1: ideal amount of time you should work before you take

1612
01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:35,200
Speaker 1: a break in any given day.

1613
01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:36,639
Speaker 2: This is rich on Tech.

1614
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:44,679
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich On Tech. Let's get to uh

1615
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:47,800
Speaker 1: Mark in Weineka. Mark, you're on with rich.

1616
01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:54,000
Speaker 16: Yes, my family has been interested in finding out our history.

1617
01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:58,800
Speaker 16: We're a bit hesitant about because of all the data

1618
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:02,160
Speaker 16: breaches in and the selling information of DNA. We don't

1619
01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:06,640
Speaker 16: want to go that route. And a professional genealogist is

1620
01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:11,040
Speaker 16: almost prohibitively expensive. Really, do you have any suggestions for

1621
01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:13,639
Speaker 16: those who are just looking to find out their family tree,

1622
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:15,720
Speaker 16: where we're from, that sort of thing, somebody who can

1623
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:19,080
Speaker 16: do the backgrounding and without the DNA.

1624
01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:24,559
Speaker 1: Oh. I don't really have a suggestion on that because

1625
01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 1: I feel like, if you want to learn about that stuff,

1626
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:29,400
Speaker 1: you got to do the DNA test. But I understand

1627
01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:33,840
Speaker 1: the whole DNA situation. I did an ancestry DNA for

1628
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:37,360
Speaker 1: what it's worth, you know, I thought the results were interesting,

1629
01:18:37,439 --> 01:18:40,439
Speaker 1: they were not groundbreaking. I did not do twenty three

1630
01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:41,960
Speaker 1: in meters, which I know a lot of people have,

1631
01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:45,560
Speaker 1: especially around Prime Day. The other thing I did is

1632
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:48,160
Speaker 1: there's a website called Genie dot com g E n

1633
01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:51,479
Speaker 1: I dot com. If you tried that, no, Suir, Okay,

1634
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:55,200
Speaker 1: So Genie dot com is pretty much your own You

1635
01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:57,960
Speaker 1: can build your own family tree on there. So if

1636
01:18:57,960 --> 01:18:59,800
Speaker 1: you have some relatives you want to talk to them,

1637
01:18:59,840 --> 01:19:01,800
Speaker 1: you can kind of fill out a family tree there,

1638
01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:04,760
Speaker 1: and I believe they sort of help you along with

1639
01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:08,320
Speaker 1: you can look out some records and things like that.

1640
01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:12,719
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's got like automatic tree matches. There's already

1641
01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:15,479
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy million people on there, so it's

1642
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:17,839
Speaker 1: it's not a bad way to build your own family

1643
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:19,920
Speaker 1: tree if you don't want to go the DNA route.

1644
01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:21,000
Speaker 2: I guess they have.

1645
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:24,200
Speaker 1: Let's see, they have a link for their own DNA

1646
01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:26,880
Speaker 1: test my heritage DNA tests, so I guess they have

1647
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:29,760
Speaker 1: their own link there as well. One hundred and forty

1648
01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:32,960
Speaker 1: nine dollars, three hundred and sixty eight and then five

1649
01:19:33,040 --> 01:19:35,400
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty nine. Those are the prices for various

1650
01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:38,080
Speaker 1: tests you can get. But I don't know if you don't,

1651
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:40,280
Speaker 1: you know the problem with all these DNA tests is,

1652
01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:42,639
Speaker 1: like you said, the data breaches, you don't know how,

1653
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:44,640
Speaker 1: Like twenty three meters was just purchased, you don't know

1654
01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:46,439
Speaker 1: how the new company is going to use the data,

1655
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:50,400
Speaker 1: even though they pledged to sort of honor the old

1656
01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:53,400
Speaker 1: data privacy rules that twenty three meters had in place.

1657
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:56,840
Speaker 1: So I understand where you're coming from, But I think

1658
01:19:56,880 --> 01:19:59,920
Speaker 1: the easiest way is really just to build your own

1659
01:20:00,439 --> 01:20:03,880
Speaker 1: family tree on a website like Genie. And there's another

1660
01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:05,640
Speaker 1: one too. Let me see if there's another one. I

1661
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:11,200
Speaker 1: Ancestry dot Com obviously is another. Let's see Ancestry. Let's

1662
01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:13,960
Speaker 1: see if they have their own like familytree, Yeah, ancestry

1663
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:17,320
Speaker 1: dot com. But see Ancestry is a big DNA company too.

1664
01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:20,360
Speaker 1: They want you to do your DNA so sort of

1665
01:20:20,360 --> 01:20:23,599
Speaker 1: depends if you don't want your DNA stuff, that's you know,

1666
01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:26,799
Speaker 1: it limits in the information, But the DNA stuff really

1667
01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:29,480
Speaker 1: on the back end. Like what would happen on the

1668
01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:34,160
Speaker 1: the test that I took is that basically it would say, hey,

1669
01:20:34,200 --> 01:20:36,760
Speaker 1: we found a cousin of yours and it would flag them,

1670
01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:38,519
Speaker 1: and it like really was a cousin of mine, which

1671
01:20:38,520 --> 01:20:39,160
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe.

1672
01:20:39,160 --> 01:20:41,000
Speaker 2: I was like, wow, that's quite impressive.

1673
01:20:41,560 --> 01:20:43,439
Speaker 1: So if you don't want to do the DNA stuff,

1674
01:20:43,640 --> 01:20:45,400
Speaker 1: you can still just build the family tree on your

1675
01:20:45,400 --> 01:20:47,120
Speaker 1: own using the information that you provide.

1676
01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:49,360
Speaker 2: Good question. It's interesting.

1677
01:20:49,400 --> 01:20:52,040
Speaker 1: I think that at a certain point everyone was excited

1678
01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:55,320
Speaker 1: about the DNA tests, and then after we realized the

1679
01:20:55,360 --> 01:20:57,720
Speaker 1: privacy concerns, everyone's like, I don't know if I want

1680
01:20:57,720 --> 01:21:00,839
Speaker 1: to do that anymore. I think in general, it's probably

1681
01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:03,120
Speaker 1: you know, if you read the if you read sort

1682
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:07,360
Speaker 1: of their their privacy policies and stuff, they probably try

1683
01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:10,040
Speaker 1: to keep this stuff private and anonymized. But you know,

1684
01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:13,920
Speaker 1: there's always a breach, Like you said, new study reveals

1685
01:21:14,439 --> 01:21:19,080
Speaker 1: the ideal work break balance in a post pandemic world.

1686
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:23,320
Speaker 2: Here it is. You're ready, bring this to your employer.

1687
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:28,040
Speaker 1: Employees who work seventy five minutes and then break for

1688
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:30,840
Speaker 1: thirty three minutes are the most productive.

1689
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:32,240
Speaker 2: There you have it.

1690
01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:36,719
Speaker 1: During the pandemic, the ratio was longer, so people worked

1691
01:21:36,760 --> 01:21:39,360
Speaker 1: for one hundred and twelve minutes and then rested for

1692
01:21:39,439 --> 01:21:44,000
Speaker 1: twenty six minutes. But let's see, hybrid work appears to

1693
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:46,840
Speaker 1: encourage more frequent, longer breaks now about four per day.

1694
01:21:46,840 --> 01:21:49,679
Speaker 1: So yeah, if you're working hybrid, of course you're you know,

1695
01:21:49,520 --> 01:21:53,560
Speaker 1: you've got more liberties. If you're working hybrid, office environments

1696
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:59,120
Speaker 1: boost break habits, coffee, chat, walk around, which actually helps productivity.

1697
01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:01,639
Speaker 1: I do believe that I've mentioned this on this show.

1698
01:22:01,680 --> 01:22:03,719
Speaker 1: Like when you're working from home or working from work

1699
01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:07,680
Speaker 1: the office, it is a very different experience. And you

1700
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:09,720
Speaker 1: know at work there are there are breaks sort of

1701
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:12,920
Speaker 1: built into your day. People interrupt you, you walk to

1702
01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:14,800
Speaker 1: the restroom, someone talks to you.

1703
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:15,400
Speaker 2: You have to deal.

1704
01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:17,599
Speaker 1: You got to interface with someone in real life, they

1705
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:19,599
Speaker 1: talk to you. You know, I've got all these people,

1706
01:22:19,880 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 1: I talk to them. I work for different reasons, and

1707
01:22:23,120 --> 01:22:25,040
Speaker 1: so you know, it's all part of the breaks that

1708
01:22:25,120 --> 01:22:27,680
Speaker 1: I take at work. And I guess it just I

1709
01:22:27,760 --> 01:22:30,080
Speaker 1: work hard when I'm there, but i'm you know, chat

1710
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 1: with one person about baseball cards, I chat another person

1711
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:34,040
Speaker 1: about their you know, how their day is going, and

1712
01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:39,000
Speaker 1: chat another person about travel whatever it is. Let's see,

1713
01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:42,479
Speaker 1: this comes from desk time. So I guess desk time.

1714
01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:46,439
Speaker 1: Back in twenty fourteen, found the fifty two seventeen work rule.

1715
01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:50,200
Speaker 1: Now it is seventy five thirty three. So again, there

1716
01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:53,240
Speaker 1: you have it, seventy five minutes on, thirty three minutes off.

1717
01:22:53,960 --> 01:22:56,880
Speaker 1: I like that I can do that. I find that

1718
01:22:57,040 --> 01:22:59,840
Speaker 1: my Apple Watch actually reminds me when I need to

1719
01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 1: or to take a break because I'll be sitting there

1720
01:23:02,439 --> 01:23:04,760
Speaker 1: at my desk and it's like you haven't stood up

1721
01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:06,880
Speaker 1: for an hour. I'm like, oh, that's a good idea.

1722
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:10,439
Speaker 1: Let me stand up. If you have Mint Mobile, you

1723
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:13,920
Speaker 1: now have RCS. This is the latest texting standard.

1724
01:23:13,920 --> 01:23:14,080
Speaker 9: You know.

1725
01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 1: It makes texts much easier between iPhone and Android. So

1726
01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:20,600
Speaker 1: no matter what your phone, no matter what phone you have,

1727
01:23:20,720 --> 01:23:24,360
Speaker 1: now on Mint Mobile you can get this. RCS has

1728
01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:28,000
Speaker 1: those typing indicators, the read receipts or red receipts are

1729
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:31,320
Speaker 1: we say it hi res photos and videos, sharing group

1730
01:23:31,400 --> 01:23:33,920
Speaker 1: chats are much better and to end encryption on certain

1731
01:23:33,960 --> 01:23:38,280
Speaker 1: Android to Android messages and really having rcs is just

1732
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:42,839
Speaker 1: a big step for modern texting. You know, the iPhone

1733
01:23:42,880 --> 01:23:47,000
Speaker 1: had the blue bubbles for many years. People favored those

1734
01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:50,400
Speaker 1: and they still do. But OURCS has really made texting

1735
01:23:50,400 --> 01:23:53,840
Speaker 1: between iPhone and androids so much better. You do need

1736
01:23:53,880 --> 01:23:56,599
Speaker 1: Google Messages on Android, so make sure you're using that,

1737
01:23:56,840 --> 01:23:59,920
Speaker 1: and then iOS eighteen on iPhone for the iPhone use.

1738
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:02,040
Speaker 1: But if you're on Mint Mobile, you've got now the

1739
01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:07,960
Speaker 1: latest modern texting. I made a big booboo yesterday, big booboo.

1740
01:24:08,040 --> 01:24:11,240
Speaker 1: I was booking a flight for my wife and I

1741
01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:13,960
Speaker 1: booked it no problem. I was using my miles and

1742
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:15,760
Speaker 1: this morning, I don't know why, I happened to look

1743
01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:17,560
Speaker 1: at my credit card and I was like, why is

1744
01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:20,719
Speaker 1: there this big charge for like four hundred dollars And

1745
01:24:21,240 --> 01:24:23,759
Speaker 1: I look at my email, I'm like, wait, they charged

1746
01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:26,360
Speaker 1: me for the miles. So apparently I bought the miles

1747
01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:30,080
Speaker 1: by accident, and so I called the airline and I said, hey,

1748
01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:31,800
Speaker 1: this is a mistake. You know, it's only it hasn't

1749
01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:33,559
Speaker 1: even been twenty four hours. Like, oh, yeah, once you

1750
01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:37,040
Speaker 1: buy miles, there is no refund. I said, what do

1751
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:39,360
Speaker 1: you mean, no refund twenty four hours? You can refund anything.

1752
01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:43,320
Speaker 1: It says, no, not for miles. Miles are final. I said, well,

1753
01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:46,640
Speaker 1: I didn't know I was buying miles, and so I

1754
01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:50,840
Speaker 1: invoked my favorite words in customer service, and these are

1755
01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:54,519
Speaker 1: Remember these words because they have served me well so

1756
01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:57,160
Speaker 1: many times. I'm not trying to get over on anyone,

1757
01:24:57,439 --> 01:25:00,760
Speaker 1: but these words seem to unlock a world that is

1758
01:25:00,880 --> 01:25:03,840
Speaker 1: just reserve for the upper echelon of customer service. And

1759
01:25:03,880 --> 01:25:07,759
Speaker 1: the words are can you grant a one time exception?

1760
01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:11,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is about those words, but

1761
01:25:11,080 --> 01:25:15,800
Speaker 1: they are magical to a customer service representative's years. I

1762
01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:18,960
Speaker 1: think it gives them the freedom to do something they

1763
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:21,960
Speaker 1: can't typically do under their rules because it's a one

1764
01:25:21,960 --> 01:25:24,479
Speaker 1: time exception. It's not a thing they're doing for everyone.

1765
01:25:24,520 --> 01:25:27,640
Speaker 1: They're just doing it for you. And then for you

1766
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:31,040
Speaker 1: get a pass because you get the idea that they're

1767
01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:33,360
Speaker 1: not doing this for everyone's. You can't go on Twitter

1768
01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:35,280
Speaker 1: or on a radio show and say, hey, do this

1769
01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:37,120
Speaker 1: because this they'll refund everyone.

1770
01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:37,880
Speaker 2: They won't.

1771
01:25:37,960 --> 01:25:40,519
Speaker 1: It was a one time exception, so it's a pass

1772
01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:43,920
Speaker 1: for both of you to make this situation work.

1773
01:25:44,520 --> 01:25:45,439
Speaker 2: And I can't believe it.

1774
01:25:45,479 --> 01:25:47,479
Speaker 1: They ended up refunding, which I would have fought it

1775
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:50,160
Speaker 1: a little bit harder if they didn't. But the woman

1776
01:25:50,280 --> 01:25:52,040
Speaker 1: was very nice on the phone and she said, we

1777
01:25:52,040 --> 01:25:54,240
Speaker 1: don't do this for anyone, but we're gonna do it

1778
01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:56,360
Speaker 1: for you. I said, well, thank you for making that

1779
01:25:56,360 --> 01:25:59,439
Speaker 1: one time exception works like a charm every time. Try

1780
01:25:59,479 --> 01:26:03,040
Speaker 1: it next time. One time It is my favorite words.

1781
01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:05,800
Speaker 1: And for some reason, it's like a little agreement you

1782
01:26:05,880 --> 01:26:08,040
Speaker 1: have with the customer service representative, like they know they're

1783
01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:10,360
Speaker 1: doing something they don't typically do. You know you're asking

1784
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:12,560
Speaker 1: them to do something they don't typically do. But it

1785
01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:15,800
Speaker 1: all works out in the end. Coming up, we are

1786
01:26:15,840 --> 01:26:18,080
Speaker 1: going to talk about past keys and how they can

1787
01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:20,920
Speaker 1: protect your accounts and make them easier to log into it.

1788
01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:28,519

1794
01:26:43,960 --> 01:26:48,760
Speaker 1: Andrew Shakira is here with the Fido Alliance. This is

1795
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:52,240
Speaker 1: an industry association sort of helping promote and figure out

1796
01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:55,439
Speaker 1: these standards to make us to make our lives easier

1797

Speaker 1: thanks for joining me.

1799
01:26:59,360 --> 01:27:00,439
Speaker 2: Hey, Rich, thanks for having me.

1800
01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:01,320
Speaker 5: It's awesome to be here.

1801
01:27:01,640 --> 01:27:04,080
Speaker 1: So Past Keys, I know, well, first off, I explain

1802
01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:05,960
Speaker 1: the final Alliance. Did I explain that properly?

1803
01:27:07,080 --> 01:27:07,280
Speaker 14: Yeah?

1804
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:07,680
Speaker 9: You did so.

1805
01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:10,040
Speaker 6: Fido Alliance is an industry body. We have over three

1806
01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:15,000
Speaker 6: hundred members worldwide that collaborate to create open standards for

1807
01:27:15,120 --> 01:27:18,080
Speaker 6: better authentication. So basically our mission is to get rid

1808
01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:20,479
Speaker 6: of passwords, to make it easier for everyone to sign

1809
01:27:20,520 --> 01:27:23,320
Speaker 6: into things and more secure as well, and somber. Our

1810
01:27:23,320 --> 01:27:25,800
Speaker 6: members include everyone you'd think you'd want to have solving

1811
01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:27,799
Speaker 6: the problem is working to solve this problem.

1812
01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:29,440
Speaker 2: So it's like Apple and Google.

1813
01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:33,160
Speaker 6: And eBay and Amazon and you know, you name it.

1814
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:35,760
Speaker 6: The companies that really have so much to lose by

1815
01:27:36,360 --> 01:27:38,000
Speaker 6: you know, it's the risk of security out there, it's

1816
01:27:38,040 --> 01:27:40,639
Speaker 6: what you gain by easier signings are all working together

1817
01:27:41,040 --> 01:27:43,719
Speaker 6: on this technology in our body Fino alliance.

1818
01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:46,120
Speaker 2: So what is the problem with passwords?

1819
01:27:46,360 --> 01:27:49,640
Speaker 6: First off, well, I think everyone can relate to the

1820
01:27:49,680 --> 01:27:52,000
Speaker 6: challenges of passwords. How happen do you forget a password,

1821
01:27:52,120 --> 01:27:54,040
Speaker 6: need to sign in and you have to try to

1822
01:27:54,040 --> 01:27:55,760
Speaker 6: recover it or try to guess it or supposed to

1823
01:27:55,800 --> 01:27:58,599
Speaker 6: use unique passwords for every site. So from a peer

1824
01:27:58,640 --> 01:28:02,000
Speaker 6: to you know humans standpoint, passwords are just very difficult

1825
01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:04,320
Speaker 6: to manage, and if you're do them correctly, which means

1826
01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:07,320
Speaker 6: use a complex password for each site, it's actually impossible.

1827
01:28:07,640 --> 01:28:09,879
Speaker 6: That's what ends up happening is people use the same password,

1828
01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:13,920
Speaker 6: which isn't that complex for every site, and then attackers

1829
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:16,000
Speaker 6: you steal that password or it's lost in a data

1830
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:18,519
Speaker 6: breach or something like that, those accounts get taken over.

1831
01:28:18,920 --> 01:28:21,480
Speaker 6: So not only they're hard to use, but they're very insecure.

1832
01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:24,400
Speaker 6: And so when you hear about these massive data breaches,

1833
01:28:24,840 --> 01:28:27,080
Speaker 6: hundreds of millions of accounts being stolen things like that,

1834
01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:30,320
Speaker 6: over eighty percent of the time that's to do to passwords.

1835
01:28:30,479 --> 01:28:32,960
Speaker 6: So they're hard to remember, which is not fun as

1836
01:28:32,960 --> 01:28:36,120
Speaker 6: a consumer, but also they're incredibly risky, so it need

1837
01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:39,200
Speaker 6: to you know, create these tools that makes it easier

1838
01:28:39,200 --> 01:28:41,439
Speaker 6: for people to sign in, but also easier for the

1839
01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:44,759
Speaker 6: services to have a more secure environment.

1840
01:28:45,360 --> 01:28:47,200
Speaker 1: So I've been hearing a lot about the pass keys.

1841
01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:48,960
Speaker 1: I think I've even set a couple up on a

1842
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:52,200
Speaker 1: couple of my accounts, but I'm not exactly sure what

1843
01:28:52,240 --> 01:28:54,519
Speaker 1: they're all about. So can you explain what a past

1844
01:28:54,600 --> 01:28:57,799
Speaker 1: key is? And you know what that's all about?

1845
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:01,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, so you know, let's start with passwords. So the

1846
01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:03,880
Speaker 6: way passwords work is you have a quote unquote secret

1847
01:29:03,960 --> 01:29:05,640
Speaker 6: that's sitting on a server and you know it in

1848
01:29:05,680 --> 01:29:07,240
Speaker 6: your head, and when you go to sign and you

1849
01:29:07,360 --> 01:29:10,640
Speaker 6: enter that secret and if it matches, you can sign in. Now,

1850
01:29:10,680 --> 01:29:13,320
Speaker 6: the problem with that is that your secret isn't that secret,

1851
01:29:13,360 --> 01:29:15,519
Speaker 6: so someone can steal or someone can guess it, or

1852
01:29:15,640 --> 01:29:17,720
Speaker 6: someone can set up a fishing site, pretend to be

1853
01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 6: the real site and steal your password. That way the

1854
01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:22,519
Speaker 6: way past keys work. Instead, instead of a secret you

1855
01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:25,360
Speaker 6: know on the server, you have what's called a unique keypair,

1856
01:29:25,840 --> 01:29:28,280
Speaker 6: a virtual keypair, where you have one what's called the

1857
01:29:28,320 --> 01:29:30,640
Speaker 6: public key that sits on the server and then the

1858
01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:32,960
Speaker 6: unique part of the key pair is on your device

1859
01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:35,920
Speaker 6: with you. And then you need to verify yourself to

1860
01:29:35,960 --> 01:29:38,360
Speaker 6: your device for those keys to talk to each other

1861
01:29:38,400 --> 01:29:41,240
Speaker 6: to sign in. That sounds very complex. What it looks

1862
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:44,439
Speaker 6: like to the average consumer is, you know, whatever you're

1863
01:29:44,439 --> 01:29:46,400
Speaker 6: doing to unlock your phone, right, So if you're on Apple,

1864
01:29:46,439 --> 01:29:48,920
Speaker 6: it's probably face ID or touch ID, or Android it's

1865
01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:52,160
Speaker 6: you know, face or touch. And so when you're doing

1866
01:29:52,200 --> 01:29:55,000
Speaker 6: that action, whatever you're doing to unlock your device, you're

1867
01:29:55,000 --> 01:29:58,240
Speaker 6: actually verifying yourself to your private key, which then signs in.

1868
01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:01,759
Speaker 6: But it's a very simple action, so say single gesture

1869
01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:04,599
Speaker 6: sign in. And so what's more secure about this than

1870
01:30:04,640 --> 01:30:07,080
Speaker 6: the password model is that no one can have your

1871
01:30:07,080 --> 01:30:09,479
Speaker 6: private key other than you, right, and if a site

1872
01:30:09,479 --> 01:30:11,360
Speaker 6: pretends to be in a site, it's not the real site,

1873
01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:12,880
Speaker 6: you know, there's no way for them to do that

1874
01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:15,320
Speaker 6: unless they have the public key. So it really, you know,

1875
01:30:15,760 --> 01:30:18,599
Speaker 6: takes away the threat of fishing and all these remote attacks,

1876
01:30:18,640 --> 01:30:21,400
Speaker 6: but also makes it way easier for you to sign in.

1877
01:30:21,800 --> 01:30:24,400
Speaker 6: You're basically doing the same thing that people do dozens

1878
01:30:24,400 --> 01:30:26,400
Speaker 6: of times a day. It's unlock their device. Is now

1879
01:30:26,400 --> 01:30:27,360
Speaker 6: what you're doing to sign in?

1880
01:30:27,560 --> 01:30:29,800
Speaker 1: Okay, So let's say I went to eBay and I

1881
01:30:29,840 --> 01:30:32,479
Speaker 1: need to sign in. It says log in, and if

1882
01:30:32,479 --> 01:30:34,439
Speaker 1: I have my past key that I've already set up

1883
01:30:34,439 --> 01:30:37,080
Speaker 1: on my phone with eBay, what does that look like?

1884
01:30:37,160 --> 01:30:40,479
Speaker 2: I just literally put my fingerprint on my phone. Yeah,

1885
01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:41,160
Speaker 2: whatever you do.

1886
01:30:41,040 --> 01:30:41,920
Speaker 5: To unlock your phone.

1887
01:30:41,960 --> 01:30:44,040
Speaker 6: So for me, I'm on iPhone for example, I'll use

1888
01:30:44,080 --> 01:30:47,559
Speaker 6: either face ID or my PIM. So whatever you do

1889
01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:49,080
Speaker 6: to unlock your device is what you now do to

1890
01:30:49,120 --> 01:30:51,760
Speaker 6: sign in. And by unlocking that device, you're proving that

1891
01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:54,760
Speaker 6: you aren't possession of that device, and that allows your

1892
01:30:54,760 --> 01:30:56,240
Speaker 6: magic key pare to talk to each other so you

1893
01:30:56,240 --> 01:30:56,720
Speaker 6: can sign in.

1894
01:30:57,080 --> 01:30:58,719
Speaker 2: Okay, So do I need like an app?

1895
01:30:58,760 --> 01:30:58,840
Speaker 9: Like?

1896
01:30:58,880 --> 01:31:01,240
Speaker 1: I know a couple of the apps I use for

1897
01:31:01,280 --> 01:31:03,519
Speaker 1: password managers that I've tested, it seems like they have

1898
01:31:03,600 --> 01:31:06,280
Speaker 1: pass keys built in. I also know the phones have

1899
01:31:06,360 --> 01:31:08,080
Speaker 1: it built in. So what do I need to get

1900
01:31:08,120 --> 01:31:12,280
Speaker 1: started with this? Yeah, that's exactly it. So you know

1901
01:31:12,320 --> 01:31:14,599
Speaker 1: we mentioned before, you're three hundred companies in the Alliance.

1902
01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:18,160
Speaker 1: Because of that, you know the support virtually everywhere for

1903
01:31:18,240 --> 01:31:20,439
Speaker 1: pass keys, so it is built into your operating systems.

1904
01:31:20,439 --> 01:31:22,320
Speaker 1: It's also built into your password managers.

1905
01:31:22,400 --> 01:31:25,680
Speaker 6: So you can have passkeys stored in either place it's

1906
01:31:25,720 --> 01:31:28,000
Speaker 6: really up to you, or you can have multiple pass

1907
01:31:28,080 --> 01:31:30,759
Speaker 6: keys per site, So whatever you're doing, you know, again,

1908
01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:33,200
Speaker 6: we call this your credential manager. So whether it's your

1909
01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:36,439
Speaker 6: say iCloud keychain or Apple passwords, whether you're using one

1910
01:31:36,439 --> 01:31:39,600
Speaker 6: password or Bitwoarden or dash Lane, whatever you're doing to

1911
01:31:39,600 --> 01:31:42,040
Speaker 6: access that is what you're doing now to access your

1912
01:31:42,040 --> 01:31:45,320
Speaker 6: pass key and sign in. But again that's way more

1913
01:31:45,320 --> 01:31:48,040
Speaker 6: words than the actual user experience, which is generally just

1914
01:31:48,120 --> 01:31:50,160
Speaker 6: your device unlocked. But if you're doing to unlock your device,

1915
01:31:50,240 --> 01:31:52,439
Speaker 6: is what you're doing to sign in. So generally on

1916
01:31:52,479 --> 01:31:54,640
Speaker 6: your mobile phone, it's a biometric and you're in.

1917
01:31:55,080 --> 01:31:58,200
Speaker 1: Okay, So I guess the question becomes and this is

1918
01:31:58,200 --> 01:32:00,439
Speaker 1: why I think some people have hesitation, like wait, what

1919
01:32:00,479 --> 01:32:01,599
Speaker 1: if I lose my phone?

1920
01:32:01,920 --> 01:32:03,479
Speaker 2: Do I lose all my past keys?

1921
01:32:03,520 --> 01:32:03,600
Speaker 9: Like?

1922
01:32:04,120 --> 01:32:05,439
Speaker 2: Am I never going to be able to get back

1923
01:32:05,439 --> 01:32:06,519
Speaker 2: into Amazon ever? Again?

1924
01:32:07,040 --> 01:32:09,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, The cool thing about this, and what's really important

1925
01:32:09,439 --> 01:32:12,800
Speaker 6: about these credential managers and operating systems is that the

1926
01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:16,160
Speaker 6: way paskis work is actually your private key is readily

1927
01:32:16,160 --> 01:32:19,519
Speaker 6: available across anywhere where you access things. Right, So in

1928
01:32:19,560 --> 01:32:23,960
Speaker 6: my example, if I had enrolled with my iPhone, then

1929
01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:26,280
Speaker 6: I show up on my MacBook or another another piece

1930
01:32:26,280 --> 01:32:28,439
Speaker 6: of hardware that that key is there too, so I

1931
01:32:28,520 --> 01:32:30,960
Speaker 6: use the same you know, whatever I'm doing to unlock

1932
01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:33,960
Speaker 6: that device is generally what I'm doing to access to

1933
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:36,839
Speaker 6: pass key. If it's if it's the same operating system,

1934
01:32:37,320 --> 01:32:39,639
Speaker 6: or if I'm using say credential manager up to one password,

1935
01:32:39,680 --> 01:32:41,880
Speaker 6: if I have it on you know, my phone and

1936
01:32:41,960 --> 01:32:43,960
Speaker 6: my PC, I can just you know, do it there

1937
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:46,360
Speaker 6: as well. So if you lose one device, it doesn't

1938
01:32:46,400 --> 01:32:49,080
Speaker 6: really matter because your recovery now is much easier. Your

1939
01:32:49,080 --> 01:32:53,160
Speaker 6: recovery is just basically logging into that credential manager, which

1940
01:32:53,160 --> 01:32:54,960
Speaker 6: if it's on the same operating system, is just opening

1941
01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:57,360
Speaker 6: a device, or if it's you know, if it's a

1942
01:32:57,400 --> 01:32:59,519
Speaker 6: password manager, we may have to log into it be

1943
01:32:59,520 --> 01:33:02,360
Speaker 6: your past is there. And so this takes away actually

1944
01:33:02,400 --> 01:33:05,480
Speaker 6: a lot of the hassle and the risk of passwords.

1945
01:33:05,520 --> 01:33:09,240
Speaker 6: Also because generally attackers will leverage this what's called a

1946
01:33:09,520 --> 01:33:12,400
Speaker 6: recovery process right for tend you've lost your password or

1947
01:33:12,400 --> 01:33:14,720
Speaker 6: something like that to take over accounts, and that's no

1948
01:33:14,800 --> 01:33:18,080
Speaker 6: longer possible unless you have, you know, possession of the

1949
01:33:18,120 --> 01:33:19,280
Speaker 6: device that you're using to sign in.

1950
01:33:19,760 --> 01:33:21,800
Speaker 1: So it sounds to me like if you're a person

1951
01:33:21,880 --> 01:33:23,519
Speaker 1: like me that has a lot of different devices, like

1952
01:33:23,520 --> 01:33:27,040
Speaker 1: an Android, an iPhone, Mac computer, Windows computer. You might

1953
01:33:27,040 --> 01:33:29,640
Speaker 1: want to use like an independent sort of like like

1954
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:31,720
Speaker 1: you said, like a bit Warden or a dash lane

1955
01:33:31,760 --> 01:33:33,640
Speaker 1: because you can install it in all those But if

1956
01:33:33,680 --> 01:33:36,080
Speaker 1: you're just using like an iPhone and your Mac computer,

1957
01:33:36,560 --> 01:33:38,240
Speaker 1: you know, you're good with just what's built into the

1958
01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:41,280
Speaker 1: operating system because it's just that's you know, it's all there.

1959
01:33:41,800 --> 01:33:42,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're only.

1960
01:33:42,720 --> 01:33:45,800
Speaker 6: On Apple, it's very easy. I'm typically on Apple and

1961
01:33:45,840 --> 01:33:48,280
Speaker 6: a PC. But also you can also set up multiple

1962
01:33:48,280 --> 01:33:51,000
Speaker 6: pass keys per se. In the fact, we almost recommend that.

1963
01:33:51,120 --> 01:33:53,080
Speaker 6: So for a lot of my sights, for a lot

1964
01:33:53,120 --> 01:33:55,080
Speaker 6: of sites where use paskis for example, I'll have an

1965
01:33:55,520 --> 01:33:57,599
Speaker 6: an Apple pass key and I'll have a Windows pass

1966
01:33:57,640 --> 01:33:59,599
Speaker 6: key and they you know, with my potential dander.

1967
01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:01,200
Speaker 2: Also, oh that's interesting.

1968
01:34:01,720 --> 01:34:05,040
Speaker 6: Give you some optionality, yes, and that's fine because it's

1969
01:34:05,080 --> 01:34:07,479
Speaker 6: not really any it's not risky because all these things

1970
01:34:07,479 --> 01:34:10,880
Speaker 6: can only be opened by you, right, So so.

1971
01:34:11,080 --> 01:34:13,479
Speaker 1: If it prompts you on whatever device you're on, hey

1972
01:34:13,520 --> 01:34:14,479
Speaker 1: do you want to set up a paskey?

1973
01:34:14,520 --> 01:34:15,599
Speaker 2: You're like, I already have one.

1974
01:34:15,880 --> 01:34:18,120
Speaker 1: But if it's a different device, that's like using a

1975
01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:22,640
Speaker 1: different operating system, it can still interface with that website

1976
01:34:22,720 --> 01:34:25,479
Speaker 1: because it's this device is authenticating it now plus the

1977
01:34:25,520 --> 01:34:27,000
Speaker 1: other device exactly.

1978
01:34:27,040 --> 01:34:28,720
Speaker 6: And a lot of sites where you manage where you

1979
01:34:28,760 --> 01:34:31,040
Speaker 6: have pasts, if you go into your accounts settings and

1980
01:34:31,040 --> 01:34:35,559
Speaker 6: it'll let you add pasts, and so that's a good practice. Also,

1981
01:34:36,240 --> 01:34:38,559
Speaker 6: the other thing you can do if you're going across

1982
01:34:38,600 --> 01:34:40,880
Speaker 6: operating systems, so you have a past unal on your

1983
01:34:40,880 --> 01:34:43,400
Speaker 6: phone and you're going to a PC, you can also

1984
01:34:43,560 --> 01:34:45,240
Speaker 6: scan like the little QR code on there, and so

1985
01:34:45,400 --> 01:34:47,880
Speaker 6: like literally the past is in your hand in that phone,

1986
01:34:48,240 --> 01:34:50,120
Speaker 6: and then you get a prompt like with a QR

1987
01:34:50,160 --> 01:34:52,000
Speaker 6: code on a PC and you can use this passk

1988
01:34:52,040 --> 01:34:52,640
Speaker 6: you to sign in.

1989
01:34:53,120 --> 01:34:54,120
Speaker 2: That's really good to do.

1990
01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:56,559
Speaker 6: Say I'm visiting you sim Rich, I'm at your house

1991
01:34:56,640 --> 01:34:58,719
Speaker 6: or something, and I want to sign it in my service,

1992
01:34:58,840 --> 01:35:00,920
Speaker 6: like my gaming service or something like that. I can

1993
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:02,760
Speaker 6: just use my pass game my phone to sign in

1994
01:35:03,040 --> 01:35:06,160
Speaker 6: and I'm not actually creating a PASKI on your device,

1995
01:35:06,320 --> 01:35:08,280
Speaker 6: if that makes sense right. So it's really good for

1996
01:35:08,320 --> 01:35:12,360
Speaker 6: shared devices or like you're not at home against something

1997
01:35:12,400 --> 01:35:15,040
Speaker 6: you're in possession of in your hand to sign in

1998
01:35:15,640 --> 01:35:18,600
Speaker 6: to a site. That's you know that I'm trying to access.

1999
01:35:18,880 --> 01:35:20,880
Speaker 1: All right, we got less than a minute. How do

2000
01:35:20,920 --> 01:35:23,720
Speaker 1: I know which of my apps or websites support this.

2001
01:35:24,880 --> 01:35:27,760
Speaker 6: Spe Typically you'll see it at signing. The good news

2002
01:35:27,840 --> 01:35:30,000
Speaker 6: is when pask has only been available for around, you know,

2003
01:35:30,040 --> 01:35:33,599
Speaker 6: two and a half years, roughly half of the top

2004
01:35:33,600 --> 01:35:36,880
Speaker 6: one hundred sites on the Internet support paskis, So pretty

2005
01:35:36,960 --> 01:35:39,439
Speaker 6: much every major e commerce provider, a lot of you

2006
01:35:39,479 --> 01:35:41,919
Speaker 6: grown number of travel sites and things like that support paskis,

2007
01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:43,960
Speaker 6: so you can generally see it at signing.

2008
01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:46,559
Speaker 2: I'll give you the option of using the pasty all right.

2009
01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:49,400
Speaker 1: Very interesting, and uh, I think you gave me the

2010
01:35:49,439 --> 01:35:52,519
Speaker 1: confidence I need to start using these more often because

2011
01:35:53,280 --> 01:35:57,120
Speaker 1: I can't stand remembering passwords. And I do obviously use

2012
01:35:57,120 --> 01:35:59,559
Speaker 1: a password manager because I know that's very important. But

2013
01:35:59,600 --> 01:36:01,599
Speaker 1: even that, you know, it's like it's just the past

2014
01:36:01,640 --> 01:36:04,000
Speaker 1: key the couple of websites I've set up. It is

2015
01:36:04,040 --> 01:36:06,639
Speaker 1: a much smoother process. It's almost so easy. I'm like, wait,

2016
01:36:06,640 --> 01:36:07,640
Speaker 1: did I just log in or what?

2017
01:36:08,360 --> 01:36:08,720
Speaker 9: All right?

2018
01:36:08,960 --> 01:36:10,800
Speaker 2: So you're doing something right? All right? Thank you?

2019
01:36:11,080 --> 01:36:15,519
Speaker 1: Andrews Kerr from the Fido Alliance. Any website you want

2020
01:36:15,520 --> 01:36:17,000
Speaker 1: people to go to to learn more about this.

2021
01:36:17,920 --> 01:36:21,599
Speaker 6: Can go to paskcentral dot org. But yeah, that's that's

2022
01:36:21,600 --> 01:36:24,439
Speaker 6: the side mainly for developers. But I check that out

2023
01:36:24,439 --> 01:36:27,120
Speaker 6: because you more information on paskis and by all means

2024
01:36:27,120 --> 01:36:28,320
Speaker 6: you know, when you see when you have a chance,

2025
01:36:28,360 --> 01:36:29,000
Speaker 6: he's a past.

2026
01:36:28,880 --> 01:36:29,639
Speaker 10: You do it.

2027
01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:31,760
Speaker 1: All right, there you have it, Thanks so much for

2028
01:36:31,840 --> 01:36:35,840
Speaker 1: the information today, rich on Tech dot TV. I'll put

2029
01:36:35,880 --> 01:36:39,599
Speaker 1: a link to that passkeycentral dot org. More information about

2030
01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:42,080
Speaker 1: passkeys there, all right, Coming up, we are going to

2031
01:36:42,120 --> 01:36:44,439
Speaker 1: open up the feedback. We are going to hear from you.

2032
01:36:45,080 --> 01:36:45,599
Speaker 2: These are the.

2033
01:36:45,560 --> 01:36:48,639
Speaker 1: Emails, the comments, the questions you sent me all week long.

2034
01:36:48,720 --> 01:36:50,040
Speaker 2: We'll do that coming up next.

2035
01:36:56,600 --> 01:36:59,240
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging

2036
01:36:59,280 --> 01:37:01,479
Speaker 1: out with you talking technology. A couple of things to

2037
01:37:01,520 --> 01:37:03,960
Speaker 1: mention before I get to the feedback. Two tools this

2038
01:37:04,040 --> 01:37:07,960
Speaker 1: week to check out, actually three. First it's called payback

2039
01:37:08,160 --> 01:37:12,719
Speaker 1: Pai b a ck. We had a payback dot app.

2040
01:37:12,720 --> 01:37:15,160
Speaker 1: We had a caller call in about this. They basically

2041
01:37:15,240 --> 01:37:18,559
Speaker 1: track your airfare for price drops and if it you

2042
01:37:18,600 --> 01:37:21,519
Speaker 1: know something that you've already booked, and if the price drops,

2043
01:37:21,520 --> 01:37:25,479
Speaker 1: they request a credit from the airline. So I have

2044
01:37:25,520 --> 01:37:28,040
Speaker 1: talked to the developers and now I'm using it to

2045
01:37:28,160 --> 01:37:31,080
Speaker 1: track a couple of my upcoming flights again. It's called

2046
01:37:31,160 --> 01:37:34,920
Speaker 1: paybackpai back Dot app. And what's cool about it is

2047
01:37:34,960 --> 01:37:37,599
Speaker 1: it gives you the confidence to book your flight knowing

2048
01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:39,920
Speaker 1: that if the price drops, you'll be able to get

2049
01:37:39,960 --> 01:37:43,000
Speaker 1: a credit, not a refund, a credit and then another

2050
01:37:43,320 --> 01:37:47,240
Speaker 1: website or an app. Actually, hobby Scan. Hobby Scan is

2051
01:37:47,240 --> 01:37:49,240
Speaker 1: another one of those card scanning apps.

2052
01:37:49,439 --> 01:37:50,040
Speaker 2: It's pretty cool.

2053
01:37:50,080 --> 01:37:51,920
Speaker 1: They have a rapid scan feature where you can scan

2054
01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:54,000
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of cards at once and then the

2055
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:56,360
Speaker 1: other thing. I'm absolutely loving, but I'm not sure I'm

2056
01:37:56,360 --> 01:37:58,000
Speaker 1: going to pay for it because it's kind of expensive.

2057
01:37:58,439 --> 01:38:02,519
Speaker 1: But Notion has this feature called AI Meeting Notes, and

2058
01:38:02,600 --> 01:38:04,639
Speaker 1: as soon as you start a zoom meeting or any

2059
01:38:04,680 --> 01:38:07,320
Speaker 1: sort of like online meeting on your computer, it starts

2060
01:38:07,360 --> 01:38:09,920
Speaker 1: taking a transcription and then gives you at the end

2061
01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:16,040
Speaker 1: a summary. It is incredibly good. So the AI AI

2062
01:38:16,120 --> 01:38:18,479
Speaker 1: Meeting Notes from Notion, Oh my gosh, I don't know

2063
01:38:18,520 --> 01:38:20,400
Speaker 1: who's programming it, but kudos to you.

2064
01:38:20,960 --> 01:38:23,639
Speaker 2: All right, let's open up the feedbag. Let's see here.

2065
01:38:25,080 --> 01:38:27,439
Speaker 1: Robin from Anaheim rits In you talked about a phone

2066
01:38:27,479 --> 01:38:30,280
Speaker 1: cleaning app for iPhone. I'm an Android user. There are

2067
01:38:30,280 --> 01:38:32,760
Speaker 1: many similar apps. When I'm afraid to choose the wrong one.

2068
01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:35,920
Speaker 1: Do you have one you recommend something that deletes duplicates

2069
01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:38,479
Speaker 1: and cleans up the phone. I don't think you really

2070
01:38:38,560 --> 01:38:42,920
Speaker 1: need a third party cleaner app. There's one on Google

2071
01:38:43,040 --> 01:38:46,200
Speaker 1: for free. It's called Google Files. They have a built

2072
01:38:46,240 --> 01:38:50,000
Speaker 1: in clean functionality. It's got a duplicate photo finder. It's

2073
01:38:50,080 --> 01:38:52,280
Speaker 1: very safe, it's simple, it's effective. I ran it on

2074
01:38:52,320 --> 01:38:55,920
Speaker 1: my phone yesterday again. It's Google's free files app. I

2075
01:38:55,920 --> 01:38:57,240
Speaker 1: don't think you need to mess with any of the

2076
01:38:57,240 --> 01:38:59,960
Speaker 1: other ones out there. That one does exactly what you need.

2077
01:39:00,160 --> 01:39:04,080
Speaker 1: Google Files. PJ writes in I've been living in Mexico

2078
01:39:04,160 --> 01:39:06,760
Speaker 1: for several years. US phones can work here if your

2079
01:39:06,800 --> 01:39:10,240
Speaker 1: carrier has reciprocal agreements with Mexican providers. I use both

2080
01:39:10,240 --> 01:39:13,360
Speaker 1: the US phone and a Mexican phone. For my Mexican phone,

2081
01:39:13,360 --> 01:39:16,519
Speaker 1: I use Telsell, though there are other carriers. My plans

2082
01:39:16,520 --> 01:39:19,160
Speaker 1: on both phones cover Canada, the US and Mexico with

2083
01:39:19,200 --> 01:39:22,599
Speaker 1: no roaming charges. The US phone costs under thirty dollars

2084
01:39:22,640 --> 01:39:24,920
Speaker 1: a month, and the tel Cell plan is even cheaper.

2085
01:39:25,200 --> 01:39:27,479
Speaker 1: I keep data usage low by using Wi Fi for

2086
01:39:27,600 --> 01:39:31,719
Speaker 1: most things. Enrique also writes in about cell plans in Mexico.

2087
01:39:31,960 --> 01:39:34,719
Speaker 1: On your show, you mentioned someone needing permanent cell coverage

2088
01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:37,840
Speaker 1: in Mexico. T Mobile has decent plans with good coverage

2089
01:39:37,920 --> 01:39:39,799
Speaker 1: back to the US, but the big player in Mexico

2090
01:39:39,920 --> 01:39:43,040
Speaker 1: is telsell good plans but higher rates for calls to

2091
01:39:43,040 --> 01:39:43,479
Speaker 1: the States.

2092
01:39:43,520 --> 01:39:44,960
Speaker 2: I would not recommend movie Star.

2093
01:39:45,280 --> 01:39:48,000
Speaker 1: It's got a big footprint, but coverage to the US

2094
01:39:48,120 --> 01:39:51,000
Speaker 1: is poor or non existent. I imagine at some point

2095
01:39:51,080 --> 01:39:53,439
Speaker 1: that person is going to want to call home, even

2096
01:39:53,520 --> 01:39:55,599
Speaker 1: just five minutes to the in laws on Thanksgiving without

2097
01:39:55,640 --> 01:39:58,960
Speaker 1: getting stuck on a massive bill. Also, I'm looking forward

2098
01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:01,559
Speaker 1: to using audible to check out Apple and China, which

2099
01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:03,639
Speaker 1: you recommended on the show. Keep up the great work,

2100
01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:08,519
Speaker 1: thank you, Enrique. Philip writes in the Personal Extended Security

2101
01:40:08,600 --> 01:40:12,240
Speaker 1: Updates for Windows is thirty dollars per year for business customers,

2102
01:40:12,640 --> 01:40:14,720
Speaker 1: the cost starts at sixty one for one year, then

2103
01:40:14,800 --> 01:40:16,840
Speaker 1: doubles each year, one hundred and twenty two for two,

2104
01:40:17,200 --> 01:40:19,559
Speaker 1: two forty four for year three. That's four hundred and

2105
01:40:19,600 --> 01:40:23,320
Speaker 1: twenty seven dollars total per PC over three years. Microsoft's

2106
01:40:23,360 --> 01:40:26,160
Speaker 1: blog post doesn't break down that math, probably.

2107
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:29,120
Speaker 2: Because it looks pretty steep. Hey, rich I.

2108
01:40:29,160 --> 01:40:32,880
Speaker 1: Recently traveled to Istanbul, Croatia, and Venice. Before leaving, I

2109
01:40:32,920 --> 01:40:36,200
Speaker 1: downloaded Call the Midwife to my iPhone using the Netflix app.

2110
01:40:36,439 --> 01:40:37,880
Speaker 1: I was able to watch it on the plane, but

2111
01:40:37,920 --> 01:40:40,080
Speaker 1: once I got to my destination, I couldn't.

2112
01:40:39,760 --> 01:40:41,120
Speaker 2: Access the show anymore.

2113
01:40:41,520 --> 01:40:43,519
Speaker 1: I understand it might be a licensing thing, but if

2114
01:40:43,560 --> 01:40:45,760
Speaker 1: I'm using my own phone and paying for Netflix, why

2115
01:40:45,760 --> 01:40:48,760
Speaker 1: can't I watch what I already downloaded? Great question, and

2116
01:40:48,880 --> 01:40:51,519
Speaker 1: yes this comes down to licensing. I've had this issue.

2117
01:40:51,560 --> 01:40:54,680
Speaker 1: Not everything on Netflix is available everywhere. I think the

2118
01:40:54,920 --> 01:40:57,400
Speaker 1: hack is to put your phone into airplane mode before

2119
01:40:57,439 --> 01:40:59,200
Speaker 1: you open up the app the next time you're in

2120
01:40:59,240 --> 01:41:03,519
Speaker 1: a different country. Jonathan writes in listening to your show

2121
01:41:03,560 --> 01:41:06,120
Speaker 1: has made me more curious about trying AI. I'm a

2122
01:41:06,160 --> 01:41:08,840
Speaker 1: fan of classic movies and wanted something short to watch.

2123
01:41:08,880 --> 01:41:11,400
Speaker 1: Instead of looking up run times one by one, I

2124
01:41:11,439 --> 01:41:13,960
Speaker 1: took a screenshot of several titles on my DVR and

2125
01:41:14,040 --> 01:41:17,519
Speaker 1: uploaded it to Gemini and Perplexity. Both gave me a

2126
01:41:17,600 --> 01:41:20,000
Speaker 1: full list of runtimes. See someone else that likes run

2127
01:41:20,040 --> 01:41:20,960
Speaker 1: times for their movies?

2128
01:41:21,479 --> 01:41:22,000
Speaker 2: Amazing.

2129
01:41:22,120 --> 01:41:24,160
Speaker 1: I even asked them to organize the list by runtime

2130
01:41:24,240 --> 01:41:26,080
Speaker 1: or release here, and they did it. Gemini was a

2131
01:41:26,120 --> 01:41:30,080
Speaker 1: bit faster, but Perplexity gave cleaner results and helpful links.

2132
01:41:30,360 --> 01:41:32,800
Speaker 1: Thanks for keeping us informed on how to use this

2133
01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:36,439
Speaker 1: cool tech. Craig in New York rights in Hey, Rich,

2136
01:41:46,000 --> 01:41:48,599
Speaker 1: I'm eighty and not a techie, but you make things

2137
01:41:48,840 --> 01:41:49,880
Speaker 1: very understandable.

Speaker 1: Jony from Carmel, California rights in love the podcast.

2140
01:41:55,920 --> 01:41:56,040
Speaker 14: Now.

2141
01:41:56,040 --> 01:41:58,679
Speaker 1: I'm overwhelmed with how many data breaches the online checkers

2142
01:41:58,720 --> 01:42:02,600
Speaker 1: have found for me. The latest breach is especially concerning

2143
01:42:03,080 --> 01:42:04,840
Speaker 1: be well and thanks for the good work.

2144
01:42:06,120 --> 01:42:09,880
Speaker 2: Let's see you well. Lots lots of feedback this week.

2145
01:42:10,040 --> 01:42:12,080
Speaker 1: Ron from Los Angeles writes in thank you for the

2146
01:42:12,120 --> 01:42:15,400
Speaker 1: recommendation of whisper flow. This might be one of the

2147
01:42:15,439 --> 01:42:18,840
Speaker 1: best app recommendations you've offered in a long time. This

2148

2149
01:42:22,800 --> 01:42:26,360

2150
01:42:27,040 --> 01:42:29,400

2151
01:42:29,439 --> 01:42:32,880
Speaker 1: be surprised, mark my words, I would not be surprised

2152
01:42:32,920 --> 01:42:36,559
Speaker 1: if Apple or Google purchases this startup because it is

2153
01:42:36,800 --> 01:42:40,679
Speaker 1: just that good. Whoever gets that technology on their phone

2154
01:42:41,080 --> 01:42:43,080
Speaker 1: in a big way is going to take a big

2155
01:42:43,160 --> 01:42:45,439
Speaker 1: leap forward, because once you try that, you just can't

2156
01:42:45,479 --> 01:42:45,840
Speaker 1: go back.

2157
01:42:45,880 --> 01:42:48,719

2176
01:43:42,560 --> 01:43:44,519
Speaker 1: in great show, I like the part about LPs and

2177
01:43:44,560 --> 01:43:47,160
Speaker 1: cassette tapes. I had to stop myself from collecting too much.

2178
01:43:47,240 --> 01:43:49,599
Speaker 1: My front room looks like a record store. I buy

2179
01:43:49,640 --> 01:43:53,439
Speaker 1: tapes by the cases. I miss my portable Sony recorder

2180
01:43:53,560 --> 01:43:57,559
Speaker 1: so I can listen to them one minute.

2183
01:44:02,600 --> 01:44:04,920
Speaker 1: caller asked how to record a radio broadcast on their

2184
01:44:04,960 --> 01:44:08,000

2185
01:44:08,080 --> 01:44:10,640
Speaker 1: streaming or over the AIRFM, but here's my setup. I

2186
01:44:10,720 --> 01:44:13,720
Speaker 1: use my Moto stylist on T Mobile and listen using

2187
01:44:13,720 --> 01:44:16,800
Speaker 1: the built in FM radio with Motorola's app with headphones.

2188
01:44:17,080 --> 01:44:19,840
Speaker 1: The app has a record button right on the screen.

2189
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:22,960
Speaker 1: It works great for over the air FM. Thank you
