Well, this is a very special 28 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: weekend for me and my family. My mom is in 29 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: town number one, which is very exciting. Arrived yesterday, last 30 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: minute thing, and you know, she gets off the plane. 31 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 2: I was like, how was it. 32 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: She's like, well, it was great, except no, the whole 33 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: time I couldn't watch anything on my phone. 34 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 2: I said, well, what happened? Well, I don't know. 35 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: Every time I take out my Bluetooth headphones and you know, 36 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: put them near my phone, they connect. This time they didn't. 37 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: I said, well, was your phone in airplane mode? 38 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: And she said yeah. I said, well, the Bluetooth is 39 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 2: probably off. So she sat there. 40 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: I said, what about the seatback, you know, did you 41 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: watch anything on there? 42 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 3: Oh? 43 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 2: No, I didn't want to break anything. Mom. 44 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 1: You're not going to like, you know, mess up the plane. 45 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: You're not commanding the plane from your seatback entertainment. So 46 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: she didn't want to touch the seatback entertainment. So she 47 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: just sat there and read the whole time, which I 48 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: guess is fine, but I was cracking up also. 49 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 2: So this is kind of a long story, but long 50 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 2: story short. 51 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: I booked her in a premium class because it was 52 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: the same miles as economy class, and so I told her, 53 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: I said, look, you get a meal, you get booze 54 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: if you want it, you know, so here's what you do. 55 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: You get on the plane, you have a glass of wine, 56 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: you have your meal, and then you go to sleep. 57 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: Because she loves to sleep on the plane, and so 58 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: I said, don't sleep right when you get on and 59 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: so she goes, okay, okay. So I said, did you 60 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: gut your glass of wine? She goes, no, they didn't. 61 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: They didn't offer it. I said, what do you mean 62 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: that they're not going to offer it to you. They're 63 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: not going to tell you because it would cost the 64 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: airline billions of dollars if they said, oh yeah, here 65 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: you can have a free drink, but you get it 66 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: if you ask for it. Anyway, so she didn't get 67 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: the alcohol, but she did have her meal. And it 68 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: just cracks me up. My mom is she's a hibernator. 69 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: Flyer like some people just hibernate when they fly, Like 70 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: they get on the plane, they get in their seat, 71 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: they hunker down, and they don't do a thing. They 72 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 1: don't get up to go to the bathroom. They don't 73 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: do a thing. They just sit there. And that's how 74 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: she is me. I take advantage of everything. I like 75 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: to walk around. I'll walk to the front of the plane, 76 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: the back of the plane, I'll stand there, I'll do 77 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: some stretching exercises. I'll take advantage of all the food 78 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: and drink I can anyway, and it always has to 79 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: be an aisle seat for me. It's also my son's 80 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: birthday weekend. Oh my gosh, my son is turning fourteen 81 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: this weekend, which I cannot believe. Yes, I know, Parker, 82 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: Happy birthday. It's just unbelievable because I still remember driving 83 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: home from the hospital with my son. I couldn't believe 84 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: they allowed me and my wife to just exit the 85 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: hospital with a kid. I was like, this is a 86 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: human being. We're going to take care of him. 87 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 4: Now. 88 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 2: We had a whole team of people at the hospital. 89 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: Now it's just us and I drove down Santa Monica 90 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: Boulevard so slow, you would not believe. You could probably 91 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: push a car faster than the way I drove because 92 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: I was so nervous. 93 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 2: And now he's fourteen. 94 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: He's telling me he has a year and a half 95 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: before he gets to start driving, which I can't believe. 96 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: But the best part is this morning we went through 97 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: all the pictures on Google Photos. 98 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 2: You put him up on the TV, and it's just amazing, 99 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 2: Like it truly is. 100 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: The idea that you have this memory bank on your 101 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: phone that you can just access at any time and 102 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: bring you right back to that moment was just incredible. 103 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: So that was really cool. And I also use Google 104 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: AI to ask a couple of questions. I'm not kidding. 105 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: If you are not using Google AI to tap into 106 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: the data that you have in Google, you are not 107 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: experiencing life life, because it is quite impressive. So I 108 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: just asked, you know a couple of things about my son, 109 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 1: like when was he born? It knew the date exactly, obviously, 110 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: I knew that I was trying to figure out the time. 111 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: It couldn't get that right, but it did get the date, 112 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: and it got all the other surrounding information just perfectly. 113 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: And then I also asked my someone was asking me. 114 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,359 Speaker 1: A family member were saying, Hey, what hotel did you 115 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: stay at in New York City when you stayed last time? 116 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: And I couldn't remember the name. It was like the 117 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: trip before the last and so I asked Google. I said, hey, 118 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: what was the name of that hotel I stayed at 119 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: in your Washington Park in New York City? 120 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 2: And it got it. I could not believe it. So 121 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 2: here is my new thesis. 122 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: The AI that will win in the future is the 123 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: AI that has access to your data. 124 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 2: So everyone is all. 125 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: You know, Google has an early lead because they've got 126 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: access to our data. Chat g Ebt has an early 127 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: lead because it's just really good, but it doesn't have 128 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: access to all of your data. Apple has been really 129 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 1: kind of knocked around right now because they are not 130 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: good with anything with AI. 131 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 2: But here's my new theory. 132 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: They will have no problem because guess what, so many 133 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: millions upon millions of people have all of their data 134 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: stored in Apple mail, in messages and in photos and 135 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: in notes. So Apple has secretly been building one of 136 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: the best AI databases. They just need the right AI 137 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: to be able to tap into that. So I know 138 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: Apple has been kind of you know just washed around, 139 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: knocked around for not having the best AI. But once 140 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: they do and they figure this out, they will take 141 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: a very commanding lead in this AI world because they've 142 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: got access to the data. When you could just ask 143 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: your iPhone, hey, what was that hotel I stayed at 144 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: in New York City last time? Or Hey, show me 145 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: my best picture from Hawaii. And it's able to do that, 146 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: which it can do little pieces of that, it will. 147 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 2: Be very very powerful. 148 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: Let's talk about this new app that has just been 149 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 1: kind of commanding the tech world, at least in my world. 150 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: It's called Bitchat. Yeah, the name is kind of interesting, 151 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: but once you get past that, the tech behind it 152 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: is really quite incredible. So this is a new messaging 153 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 1: app from Jack Dorsey. You might remember that name. He's 154 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,559 Speaker 1: the co founder of Twitter. He also founded Square cash 155 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: app and also blue Sky as well. He was an 156 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: early founder of that as well. He says he coded 157 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: this app over a single weekend, using AI to help. 158 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: Now it's officially live in the iOS App Store, so 159 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: you can download this in iOS for the iPhone. And 160 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: here's what makes this app so unique. It does not 161 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: need Wi Fi or cellular data to work. It lets 162 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: you message over Bluetooth Mesh networking. So you open up 163 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: the app and if someone nearby also has the app, 164 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: you can chat with them instantly, no sign in, no account, 165 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: no phone numbers. It's pretty amazing. 166 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 5: Now. 167 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: The interface is very bare bones. You just open it 168 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: up and whatever you know, whoever's around, is instantly in 169 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: that group chat. So you can change your username if 170 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: you want, just by tapping it. Messages go away by default. 171 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: They're sort of ephemeral. They are encrypted. But think about 172 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: it this way. You're turning wherever you are into a 173 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: pop up chat room. Think about the power of that. 174 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: You are at a club boom, you're chatting with everyone else. 175 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: You're at a music festival concert boom, you're chatting with 176 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: everyone else. Stadium, you're chatting with the people in there. Hike, 177 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,679 Speaker 1: you can chat with the people around you even without 178 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: a signal. On a plane, you can chat with everyone 179 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: that's on that plane. I mean, this is really transformative. 180 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,679 Speaker 1: It's kind of it's one of those ideas that you're like, Okay, 181 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: that's interesting, but how how can I use that? 182 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 6: Right? 183 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,559 Speaker 1: This is going to take time for people to figure 184 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: out why it's so powerful. Now Bluetooth powered messaging has 185 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: been used in the past. Right, there's an app called 186 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: bridge afy which is still available. I downloaded it yesterday. 187 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: It does work. What's interesting about this is that this 188 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: one is a little bit more anonymous and a little 189 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: bit more instant. 190 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 2: Like the Bridge of File. 191 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: You have to log in, sign up all that good 192 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: stuff Bitchat, you download it, you're off and running. And 193 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: they just released a new feature. They just updated the 194 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: app where now if you're not in Bluetooth range on bitchat, 195 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: you can still chat with your favorites, so you can 196 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: mark someone as your favorite and your messages will go 197 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 1: over the internet as well. So now it's kind of 198 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: getting into it, even bigger app where it can do 199 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: stuff locally but also globally. Okay, so limitations of course, 200 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: you know, Bluetooth only travels so far. My estimations are 201 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: maybe one hundred to one thousand feet depending on the 202 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: mesh network ability of this app. So we'll see what 203 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 1: happens there. And if nobody else is using the app, 204 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: it's kind of worthless because nobody's there to chat with. 205 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: Now I've opened up this app in a bunch of 206 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: different places so far, I've yet to find one bitchatter 207 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: in the wild, but I think that'll change now. I 208 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: posted this to my Facebook page, and of course the 209 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: comments came in fast and furious. One person said, this 210 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: is just picto chat from the Nintendo DS. I guess 211 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: that worked over land. Someone said why message people nearby 212 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: when I can just talk to them again? You got 213 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: to think of the powerful nature of this. This person said, 214 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 1: it's completely useless off the grid. Will they just change 215 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: that with their latest update. Another person said, rich, you're drunk, 216 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: go home. And that may be true at times, but 217 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: not right now. I'm talking about something that I think 218 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: is really really interesting. Of course, if you're on Android, 219 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: do not download Bitchat from the play Store. There are 220 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: no official versions just yet, there are fake versions. If 221 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: you want to get the official version, you have to 222 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: download an APK. If you're not sure what that is, 223 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: don't do it because it requires a little technical know how. 224 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 2: You can easily be tricked. So if you know what you're. 225 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: Doing, you can go to the Bitchat website and download 226 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: the APK from GitHub. If that all sounds foreign to you, 227 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: don't do it. Just wait for an official release there. 228 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: I think this is fascinating, a new way to message 229 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: people anywhere you are, pop up chat rooms. I say, 230 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: download it, try it out. Obviously, security, privacy and abuse 231 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: implications gore. 232 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,119 Speaker 2: But this is really really interesting. 233 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: Heyda Da rich one oh one eight eight eight seven 234 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: four two four one zero one your calls after this. 235 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on tech rich DeMuro here hanging 236 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: out with you, talking technology at Triple eight rich one 237 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: on one eight eight eight seven four to two four 238 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: one zero one.

I got a lot of 241 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: emails saying rich you should be fired, which really hurt me. 242 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: But I'm fine. 243 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 2: I get it. 244 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,959 Speaker 1: You like her music, but uh yeah she picked the 245 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: music this week.

I know 250 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: I talked about the bitchat app. If you want the 251 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: link to download that, you can go to the website 252 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 1: and get that. Make sure you do like the official 253 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: links because anytime there is a new hot app, there 254 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: are always what I call Klingons. You know they advertise 255 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: in the app store they have similar names. You got 256 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: to be very, very very careful that you don't just 257 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 1: download something random when you share an app name, because 258 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: you know it could potentially try to steal your data 259 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: or payment method or whatever. We saw this happen with 260 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: chat Gibt in a big way when that came out, 261 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: So just make sure you're getting the official app the website. 262 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: Rich on tech dot TV, I put the official link. 263 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: This is episode one thirty two, so you can find 264 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: it there. All right, let's go to Stanley. Stanley's in 265 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: Northwest Ohio. 266 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 2: You're on with Rich. 267 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 7: Hello, Rich, always enjoy your show, my friend. 268 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 6: Thank you. 269 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 7: You were beginning to speak about chat, GPT and those 270 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 7: kinds of things, and I wanted to ask if you've 271 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 7: ever heard of the platform po poe like Edgar allam Poe. 272 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 7: To me, it looks like it's a combination or a 273 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 7: plethora of other chat sites and it pulls the best 274 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 7: from other platforms. Do you know anything about poe as 275 00:12:58,440 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 7: a search engine? 276 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 5: Yeah? 277 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: Ai, yeah, this is this is actually started by the 278 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: people who started Quora, that question and answer website. 279 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 2: So it's uh, it's you. 280 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: Know it's from a notable company and yeah it's it's 281 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: basically all AI in one. So I actually had this 282 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: downloaded to my computer at some point when AI first started, 283 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 1: and it basically lets you choose from various like pretty 284 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: much any AI that you want. 285 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,959 Speaker 2: You can you know, ping it and ask it a question. 286 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: You can ask the same questions to different AIS see 287 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: how they respond, so it kind of is an all 288 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: in one product. The advantage, I guess is if you're 289 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: really into comparing what these things can do the powerful nature, 290 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: or you like one one AI for one thing, another 291 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: AI for another. I believe there's also some paid upgrades, 292 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: so you can't necessarily use all the features without paying 293 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: for some of this, which is fine. Most of these 294 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: ais you can use them on a free level, and 295 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: then you might have to pay for you know, extended 296 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: use or you know, extra questions or things like that. 297 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: The advance, I guess is if you like to compare 298 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 1: and contrast, or if you like certain aspects of different 299 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: AIS that you want to sort of keep, like, you 300 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: can pin the ones that you like that are your favorites. 301 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,119 Speaker 1: So if you use one for video generation, another for questions, 302 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 1: another for data, another for answers. You know, that's kind 303 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: of like probably the best use case scenario of this, 304 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: of this all in one AI platform. Uh F, yeah, 305 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: have you been playing with it? 306 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 7: My last part of the part of the interest on 307 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 7: my part is my last name is Poe, and so 308 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 7: I might pass this off is my creation to close friends. 309 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: I don't know, Stanley Poe, tell them you made it 310 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: and say, hey, check out my my app and see 311 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: what's what's the deal? But yeah, they have they've got 312 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: platforms for all of them.

Then you've got 331 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: search bots, so that just searching the web, image generation bots. 332 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: Then you've got video generation bots, audio generation botsh learning bots, 333 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: so if you want to learn something like math, or 334 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: let's see what else.

And let's see, I'm just gonna 354 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: ask a simple question like what are the best states 355 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: for beaches?

It's the gossip 435 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 8: in Silicon Valley. You hear about Mark Zuckerberg and Meta 436 00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 8: offering hundreds of millions of dollars to steal individual people away. 437 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 8: I mean, I watering NBA contract like money to get 438 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 8: people to work in these companies to do AI. And 439 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 8: so you're right, it's always nice, for instance, to see 440 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 8: you at an Apple event rich, but when we're not 441 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 8: coming out with smartphones, the AI and the stock market 442 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 8: of it all still determines our housing prices, It determines 443 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,360 Speaker 8: who buys what cars, who. 444 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 6: Goes to what schools. 445 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 8: Tech is just kind of the dominant thing up here 446 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 8: in Silicon Valley five days a week, seven days a week. 447 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 2: It's kind of like in Los Angeles. It's all Hollywood obviously, 448 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 2: and you. 449 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,239 Speaker 1: Know there's people, but there's people that you know have 450 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: made a nice living on not just Hollywood but also 451 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: technology here because in the early days a lot of 452 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: the creator economy was sort of headquartered in Los Angeles. 453 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: But now we know, I mean, this is the beauty 454 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 1: of technology. You can be anywhere. And that is I 455 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 1: think what you know, especially through COVID, you know, with 456 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: all the hybrid stuff, it kind of spread out where 457 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: stuff happens nowadays. 458 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 6: Yeah, COVID's the perfect example. All of the sudden, you 459 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 6: had all this content that was streaming becoming the default 460 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 6: way that we watch movies and TV shows. It wasn't 461 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 6: the movie theater or anything like that. So Netflix, which 462 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 6: is headquartered here, had a huge, huge presence in southern 463 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 6: California because of the Hollywood of it all. Apple, which 464 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 6: is headquartered here, as a huge presence down there. Same 465 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 6: with a whole lot of tech companies. Snapchat is headquartered there. 466 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 6: It's become what do they call it, Silicon Beach or something. 467 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 6: It's become very very important. 468 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 8: And I love the idea that LA is getting a 469 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 8: lot of the tech love as well. 470 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: So what are some of the things you've been covering. 471 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously AI is hot any any I mean, 472 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 1: is it still open AI? Chatchybt. I mean there's a 473 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: sort of all that stuff is happening. Anything else that's 474 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,239 Speaker 1: really interesting that's going on. 475 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, I really. 476 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 8: Am interested in the environmental impact of what happens. 477 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 6: So, you know, crypto AI bad for the environment. They 478 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 6: use a lot of energy. 479 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,719 Speaker 8: But we're also at the forefront of things like electric cars, 480 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 8: even electric planes. We've got these giant drones that are 481 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 8: working on carrying people. We've got a couple of companies 482 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 8: here that do that, and so you're seeing the electricity 483 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 8: start to take over from gas, and so you can 484 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 8: now order an uber or a lyft that is electric. 485 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 6: You can obviously order a weimo. 486 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 8: It's a big thing to do up here that not 487 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 8: only is electric, but there's no driver. 488 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 6: And so you've got a. 489 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 8: Lot of this technology that's going in a sci fi 490 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 8: direction but also a cleaner direction at the same time. 491 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 6: And I really appreciate that. 492 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, that is I mean, to me, the wey mo 493 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: is just it's like we are living in the future, 494 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: but it's like it's like the future. It's not necessarily 495 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: the future we imagined, but it's here right now. Like 496 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: the fact that you can hail a car that has 497 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: no driver is just wild, and when you're in it, 498 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: that's also equally wild. What's your thoughts on that? I mean, 499 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 1: those things are everywhere in la They're probably everywhere where 500 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: you are as well. 501 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 6: Yes, really are. They've been here for a while. 502 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 8: And the thing that's interesting to me is that maybe 503 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 8: people our age are still a little wow, this is 504 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 8: kind of interesting. But if you're a teenager or someone 505 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 8: in their early twenties, this is very normal to you 506 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 8: to hop into, in Wamo's case, a Jaguar that has 507 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 8: nobody in the front seat. So it's maybe you by 508 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 8: yourself or a couple of friends, and you're being driven 509 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,880 Speaker 8: somewhere in a taxi, just like your parents and grandparents did, 510 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 8: but there's nobody driving. And this has become very normal 511 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 8: in a lot of parts of California, in places like Texas, 512 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 8: et cetera. And that, to me is really interesting. So 513 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 8: the idea of no gas, no driver is becoming normal, 514 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 8: and you wonder how automakers are going to deal with 515 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 8: this if a whole generation is growing up thinking I 516 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 8: don't really need to get behind the wheel if I 517 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 8: want to go to that party or that class or 518 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 8: that job. And you see them all over the Bay 519 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 8: Area in Silicon Valley with people and it's just totally 520 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 8: normal now. And I think that's something that in the 521 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 8: next couple of decades, it's going to be interesting to 522 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 8: watch how the rest of society adapts to the fact 523 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 8: that young people well find it normal not to. 524 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: Have a driver, yeah, or a driver's license. My wife 525 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 1: works at a school and she would tell me this 526 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: is years ago when uber was like the main thing 527 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 1: and She's like, oh, no, kids don't even care on 528 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: their birthday about getting their driver's license. I mean you 529 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: and I remember your birthday is like the day you 530 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: go you get your license, like that is the thing. 531 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: And she said, now kids don't even care anymore. They 532 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: just dy Uber everywhere. And it's just such a paradigm shift. 533 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,400 Speaker 1: And now you're saying, you know, and Uber was like, okay, 534 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: there's still that idea of like the you know, creepy driver, 535 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 1: Like it's still a human, right, so anything can happen. 536 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: But now that you've got Weimo, which seems much more 537 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: controlled and secure because there's no driver. You know, obviously 538 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: that's debatable what people think about that, but you know, 539 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 1: it's much more controllable because it's software, it's not a human. 540 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: And now it's like, okay, hold on, I'm probably fine 541 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: with my kid taking a Weimo versus an Uber, let's say, 542 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:51,439 Speaker 1: very much so. 543 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 6: And yet it's an economic lesson too. 544 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 8: I mean people our age and we have teenagers and 545 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 8: they go to parties and they're thinking, O, I'll do 546 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 8: the responsible thing and take a lift or a Weimo 547 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,959 Speaker 8: or whatever, and then you get that call at midnight 548 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 8: when serge pricing kicks in and they're like, I had 549 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 8: no idea it would cost one hundred and twenty dollars 550 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 8: to take this ride from here to there. And it's like, 551 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 8: oh yeah, Surge pricing is another part of this economy 552 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 8: and it really has caught on, and it's a lesson 553 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 8: to think not only should I take this, like you said, 554 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 8: but when should I take this to get the best price? 555 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, we've thought about that so many times. 556 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,679 Speaker 1: It's easy to get to the place with the uber 557 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, wait, hold on, after this concert, 558 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: how much is it going to cost me to get home? 559 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,640 Speaker 1: Because yeah, they're going to and that you know, that's 560 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: a whole other debate and conversation around, you know, equity 561 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: and all this stuff because you know, taxis were the 562 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: same price for everyone all the time, and now it's like, 563 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: you know, every single person that's served up on the app. 564 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 1: You know, my wife and I will open up our 565 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: apps and we're both getting different prices. 566 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 2: What do you think has changed in the twenty plus 567 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 2: years you've been covering this stuff? 568 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 8: I mean, really, the money of it all, and that's 569 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 8: what drives this and the idea that venture capital is 570 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 8: to have taken over not only funding companies, but now 571 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 8: having a big role in the political world. For decades, 572 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 8: Silicon Valley wanted to be alone and away from government 573 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 8: and just sort of like a hands off thing. And 574 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 8: the new generation of vcs want to be in government, 575 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 8: and the new generation of CEOs want to have a 576 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 8: role in the White House. And you've seen that. And 577 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 8: now we have these crypto councils and BC councils and 578 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 8: just everything that comes from Silicon Valley. And I know 579 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 8: a lot of these guys, and here they are making 580 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 8: policy in Washington, and that is brand new. And that's 581 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 8: a huge difference because instead of saying, leave us alone 582 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 8: here on the West Coast, we want to do our thing, 583 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 8: it's now we want to do our thing and have 584 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 8: the rest of the country and maybe even the world 585 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 8: do it too. And that's a big, big change that 586 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 8: goes beyond what's the new phone or the new technology. 587 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 1: But we know the reason for that, because tech, i 588 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 1: mean big tech is largely gone on regulated and they 589 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,159 Speaker 1: want to be in place so that they sort of 590 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: write if there are regulations coming down the line, which 591 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,439 Speaker 1: it seems like there needs to be as we go 592 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: into a more tech center centric world. They want to 593 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 1: be on the front line of that because they want 594 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: it done to benefit them the most. 595 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 6: Well, you're absolutely right. 596 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 8: You just talked about income inequality, and that's a huge 597 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 8: thing here in Silicon Valley as far as who can 598 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,439 Speaker 8: afford a two and a half three million dollar houses 599 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 8: and how many homeless people we have at the exact 600 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 8: same time, And that goes to deregulation. Tech companies being 601 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 8: able to do what they want and make a ton 602 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 8: of money and do their credit, create a whole lot 603 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,439 Speaker 8: of jobs and a whole lot of wealth, but at 604 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 8: the same time, there are a lot of people left behind. 605 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 8: And government wants to step in on some level and 606 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 8: say we want to change that, and the tech companies 607 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 8: are a little hesitant to do that, and so they say, 608 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 8: if we have a role in government, we can still 609 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 8: create our jobs and our wealth. But there is a 610 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 8: huge gap and that's something we deal with here in 611 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 8: the valley every day. 612 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: All right, Scott, what's the best place for folks to 613 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: follow you online? 614 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,719 Speaker 8: I mean, really, it's I'm still on x still posting 615 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 8: a lot at my name at Scott Budman, also Instagram 616 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 8: and to an extent TikTok. 617 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 6: We are trying as a business.

Okay. 668 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: So when it comes to trackers, there are a couple 669 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: options out there. Number One, if you're on iPhone, obviously 670 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: the air tag is where it's at. But if you're 671 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: on Samsung, they have their own version called the smart Tag, 672 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: and that's a Samsung version of sort of the air tag. Now, 673 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: the nuance about how these things work is the network 674 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: that they ride on. And so anything with iPhone is 675 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: going to be what's called the find My network. And 676 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: that's probably one of the bigger finding networks in the 677 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: world because Apple just said they sold three billion iPhones, 678 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 1: so there's a lot of people that contribute that finding network. 679 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,959 Speaker 1: Now that doesn't apply here because you're talking Android. So 680 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: Google came out with something called the find My Network 681 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,479 Speaker 1: and so this uses all of the Android devices in 682 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: the world to help find trackers like the one that 683 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: you're talking about. So there are two types of tracker, 684 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: well that's actually three types of trackers for Android, and 685 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: this work gets a little complicated. You've got Samsung trackers, 686 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: which use Samsung phones. Then you've got find my trackers, 687 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: which uses the the uh oh sorry, okay, this is 688 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: the Google find Let's see, they just renamed it. I 689 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: got to figure out what it's called Find my Device Network, 690 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: that's what they call it, Find my Device Network, so 691 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 1: it's find my on iPhone, find my Device and so 692 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: they have the Android version of that, which uses all 693 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: the Android phones in the world to help you find 694 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: a tracker. And then there's another way, which is Tile. 695 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 1: So Tile you've probably heard of, they were one of 696 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 1: the original trackers. Ever, they have their own finding network 697 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 1: and that uses everyone that has the Life three sixty 698 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: app installed. So the first answer, really, Kathy, is what 699 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: network do you want to use on the Android side, 700 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 1: And for you having a Motorola, it's either the Tile 701 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 1: network or Googles Find My Network, And so I would 702 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: probably recommend one of those two. I would take a 703 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: look at the Tile Pro that's number one, and in 704 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: my experience, Tile has a lot of users everywhere. The 705 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: big thing is if you're in Africa, you have to 706 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 1: have people that are using that Tile app on their phone, 707 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: so it's probably going to be a little bit less 708 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: than it would be here in the US. So for 709 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 1: that reason, I'd probably recommend the Android network, which is 710 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: to Find my Device network. So in that case, I'm 711 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 1: going to recommend the Chipolo Pop c Hipolo Pop Chipolo 712 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: Pop and this is from Chipolo. They've been making trackers forever. 713 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: It's twenty nine dollars. You can get a four pack 714 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: for eighty seven no monthly fees on this thing. And 715 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 1: the best part is the battery is replaceable, so yes, 716 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 1: you can replace the battery on this thing when you 717 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 1: need to. Battery lasts about a year. The range on 718 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 1: it is about three hundred feet because they work with 719 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 1: Bluetooth for immediate finding and then when your phone is 720 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 1: not nearby, let's say your luggage was somewhere else, then 721 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: it would use that Android find my network to find 722 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 1: this thing wherever it is. So that's the one I'm 723 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,280 Speaker 1: gonna recommend for now. But hopefully you got a little 724 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 1: lesson In all the different tracking devices out there, I've 725 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: tested all these. They all have their pros and cons. Obviously, 726 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 1: Apples is the most well known with the air tag. 727 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 1: And the thing about the air tag is it's integrated 728 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,719 Speaker 1: with the airlines and that's the thing that is, you know, 729 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 1: gives them a little bit of an edge over some 730 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: of the other ones. And then this week also they 731 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: had a story about they've got shoes that have an 732 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: air tags in the soul from Sketchers, so you can 733 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 1: put a little air tag in the bottom of your 734 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,360 Speaker 1: kid's shoes and you can find them that way. But 735 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,840 Speaker 1: I've got these trackers on everything no matter where I go. 736 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,720 Speaker 1: I've got them in my travel bags, I've got them, 737 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,360 Speaker 1: you know, my keys, I've got them in my luggage. 738 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 1: I mean just everywhere. So pick a network, pick a 739 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 1: device again. I think that Chippolo Pop is going to 740 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,840 Speaker 1: be good because that's going to be, you know, compatible 741 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 1: with your Android device, and it's gonna work, and it's 742 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:27,360 Speaker 1: not that expensive. 743 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 2: So twenty nine dollars not a bad deal. All right, 744 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 2: let's see, we got one minute. 745 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,959 Speaker 1: Let me just read tell you about this story. Thanks 746 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 1: for the question, Kathy. By the way, Dropbox Passwords is 747 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 1: shutting down, so if you're using this Dropbox passwords feature, 748 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: you have to export your data by October twenty eighth. So, yes, 749 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 1: Dropbox had a password manager. I don't think many people 750 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 1: used it, That's why they're shutting it down. Most people 751 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 1: know Dropbox as a place to store files and to 752 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: share links. Starting August twenty eighth, the Apple will go 753 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 1: view only, which means you will not be able to 754 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,799 Speaker 1: add any new passwords or use autofill at all. On 755 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,840 Speaker 1: September eleventh, the mobile app will stop working completely, and 756 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 1: then on October twenty eighth, this is the important date, 757 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 1: all of your stored passwords will be permanently deleted. 758 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:13,839 Speaker 2: So you've got to. 759 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 1: Export your passwords out to a new password manager. Dropbox 760 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: recommends one password. I really like bitwarding, So again, if 761 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 1: using Dropbox passwords, come up with a plan to get 762 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 1: rid of your passwords into another app. 763 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 2: This is rich on Tech. 764 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,240 Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging 765 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,759 Speaker 1: out with you, talking technology at triple eight rich one 766 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,319 Speaker 1: oh one eight eight eight seven four to two four 767 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:44,239 Speaker 1: one zero one.

There you can find links to 769 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: everything I talk about on today's show. 770 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 2: It's also the place. 771 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 1: You can subscribe to my newsletter, which goes out every weekend. 772 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:56,280 Speaker 2: It is free. 773 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 1: You can sign up a lot of people like it 774 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,759 Speaker 1: because it's basically this show, but in kind of a 775 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 1: newsletter version, so you get all the links, all the 776 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 1: things that I come across in any given week that 777 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 1: I think are interesting. I put in the newsletter and 778 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,719 Speaker 1: send it out to all of you. Let's go to 779 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 1: Andrea in San Diego. Andrea, you're on with Rich. 780 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:22,839 Speaker 9: Good morning Rich. For us non techie people, how does 781 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:27,239 Speaker 9: one access the Google AI that you talked about that 782 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 9: you've got so much wonderful information. 783 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 6: About your son from. 784 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 9: And also you talked about the fact that there's a 785 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 9: password app that's been discontinued. I'm not familiar with that 786 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 9: one or any of the others, and I'm wondering if 787 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:50,240 Speaker 9: you could recommend one that's user friendly, easy to use. 788 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,759 Speaker 1: Yes question, okay, and are you on an Android or 789 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:54,560 Speaker 1: an iPhone? 790 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 3: iPhone? 791 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:56,320 Speaker 2: Okay? 792 00:37:56,360 --> 00:38:00,839 Speaker 1: So first question for Gemini, a couple of ways to 793 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:05,359 Speaker 1: access it. Gemini dot Google dot com is how you 794 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:09,320 Speaker 1: access that on the web. So Gemini dot Google dot 795 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 1: com is how you access that on the web. And 796 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,880 Speaker 1: then for the apps, you can search on the iPhone 797 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 1: for Gemini and let me just see what comes up. 798 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 1: Because you know, like I said earlier, there's always like Klingons, 799 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 1: so when you search Gemini, they know people are searching 800 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,840 Speaker 1: for that, so they have other apps that look similar. 801 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: But the good news is the top result is Google Gemini. 802 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 1: It says your AI assistant from Google. So you can 803 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:40,720 Speaker 1: install that on your iPhone. Sign in with your Google account, 804 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 1: and then obviously you can just ask Gemini any question 805 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 1: you want. 806 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:45,600 Speaker 2: Right. 807 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 1: You can say, give me a list of the top 808 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,560 Speaker 1: ten states for retirement, right, and it will go through 809 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:55,280 Speaker 1: and find all the information on the web and synthesize 810 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:55,920 Speaker 1: that and come. 811 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,880 Speaker 2: Up with what I call like a little book report. 812 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,440 Speaker 1: Or you can ask any kind of like theoretical question, 813 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 1: open ended, whatever you want. That's one level. But if 814 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 1: you have your data in Google, it gets really interesting 815 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 1: because now you can ask Google for information about the 816 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,239 Speaker 1: data that you have stored in Google. So, for instance, 817 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 1: if you have Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Google Docs, 818 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 1: Google Keep, Google tasks, you can ask specific questions like, 819 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:31,359 Speaker 1: for instance, on Gmail, you can say, you know, hey, 820 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:37,240 Speaker 1: search my Gmail for any information about my upcoming trip 821 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:41,920 Speaker 1: to London, and it will look through your email and 822 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 1: synthesize the data and find that information. Or you can say, 823 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,840 Speaker 1: search through my Google Photos and find the best picture 824 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,839 Speaker 1: I took in Tokyo last year, and it will do that. 825 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:55,440 Speaker 2: I mean, it's that good. 826 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 1: The other day I asked it, you know, find my 827 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: oldest picture of me and my wife or whatever. You know, 828 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,799 Speaker 1: you could just the possibilities are endless, but if you 829 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 1: go on the Gemini app online on the website, there's 830 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:13,879 Speaker 1: a little settings icon like a gear icon the lower 831 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 1: left hand corner. Tap that and then tap apps and 832 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,480 Speaker 1: that will give you the ability to see all the 833 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,920 Speaker 1: apps that Gemini works with. And if you look under Google, 834 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:27,480 Speaker 1: it has Gmail, Google Calendar and it says learn more, 835 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 1: and if you tap that, it will give you ideas 836 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,319 Speaker 1: of things to try. So, for instance, for Gmail, says 837 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:38,799 Speaker 1: find emails by topic, summarize my onread emails, what was 838 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:42,239 Speaker 1: said in the recent email. For Google Calendar, you can 839 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 1: say things like ad event from this image, show upcoming events, 840 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 1: create a recurring event. Again, it's all the stuff that 841 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 1: you used to use typing for and just you know, 842 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,480 Speaker 1: you had to sit there and like write it all out. 843 00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 1: Now you can just ask and it's really good. So 844 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,520 Speaker 1: I was at the dent office the other day. My 845 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,759 Speaker 1: kid had an appointment coming up, and I just said 846 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:08,799 Speaker 1: to Gemini, add to my calendar appointment for seven you 847 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:14,400 Speaker 1: know am next Thursday, labeled kid orthodontists appointment, you know, 848 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:15,120 Speaker 1: And it. 849 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 2: Just does it. 850 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 1: And the beauty of this is compared to the old 851 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,880 Speaker 1: way of doing things with your voice, is that AI 852 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,799 Speaker 1: understands what you're trying to say, right, even when you 853 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,480 Speaker 1: don't say it perfectly. So for so many years on 854 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 1: our devices with things like Alexa and Google Assistant and Siri, 855 00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,359 Speaker 1: you had to say things a perfect way for them 856 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,960 Speaker 1: to respond and understand. The beauty of AI is that 857 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,279 Speaker 1: you can use natural language, so even if you don't 858 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 1: say it perfectly, it will still understand what you're trying 859 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,239 Speaker 1: to say. So, Andrea, those are the ways that you 860 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,600 Speaker 1: can access the Gemini. It's also available as an app 861 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,120 Speaker 1: on Android, but yeah, get familiar with that because it 862 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,720 Speaker 1: is very handy. Now with respect to your second question, 863 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,400 Speaker 1: the past password manager, The reason why I asked you 864 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,360 Speaker 1: which phone you use is because here's my recommendations for 865 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 1: password managers. If you're only using an Android phone and 866 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,600 Speaker 1: Chrome on your computer, I would just recommend Google Passwords. 867 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 1: It's simple, it's easy, it's built into the Google that 868 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:18,480 Speaker 1: you already use. That's number one. If you're only using 869 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:22,360 Speaker 1: Apple devices, I would recommend using Apple Passwords because it's simple, 870 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,319 Speaker 1: it's easy, it's already built into the devices that you use. 871 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 1: But again, only if you're using Apple or Android or Chrome. 872 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:29,879 Speaker 2: For those two. 873 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,399 Speaker 1: The reason why I like Bitwarden is because it's what's 874 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,880 Speaker 1: called cross platform and third party, which means it is 875 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,399 Speaker 1: not linked to anything else out there. It is its 876 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 1: own separate thing and it works across all devices, and 877 00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,400 Speaker 1: so for that reason, I really like it. 878 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 2: It is slick. 879 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,479 Speaker 1: You will not believe that it's free. Some people are paying, 880 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,759 Speaker 1: you know, fifty sixty seventy eighty dollars a year for 881 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,640 Speaker 1: a password manager. You really don't have to. Now, there 882 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,000 Speaker 1: might be some advanced features and things like that, but 883 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 1: it's it's very bitward It is incredible for free, and 884 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,120 Speaker 1: I really recommend that, and I would recommend if you're 885 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,200 Speaker 1: I know you said you weren't tech savvy, but if 886 00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 1: you're in the least tech savvy, it's probably better to 887 00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,759 Speaker 1: go with a third party password manager. Just because it's 888 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 1: insulated from your Google account or your Apple account, it 889 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:20,239 Speaker 1: sort of lives separately. Great question, Andrea, thanks so much 890 00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:21,520 Speaker 1: for the call today. 891 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,000 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, we got through a lot with that one. 892 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 2: Andrea and san Diego. 893 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 1: Speaking of password managers, this is a two factor authentication app, 894 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:36,320 Speaker 1: which I also believe you should absolutely have in your arsenal. 895 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:41,280 Speaker 1: Two factor authentication app is an app that generates codes 896 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,279 Speaker 1: every thirty seconds or so that help you log into 897 00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:48,279 Speaker 1: your accounts. You may get two factor authentication codes by 898 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,560 Speaker 1: text or email. I think an app is the safest 899 00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,360 Speaker 1: because it is separate and it's by itself, and I 900 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,840 Speaker 1: don't recommend that you use your password manager to generate 901 00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:01,600 Speaker 1: two factor authentication codes. There is a new two factor 902 00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 1: authentication code app that I just absolutely have fallen in 903 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:09,840 Speaker 1: love with. It is called Proton Authenticator. You might know Proton. 904 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:14,080 Speaker 1: They're a Swiss company. They are very they are very 905 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,719 Speaker 1: privacy centric. They have Proton Email. I think that was 906 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,239 Speaker 1: their first product. Anyway, they came out with the new 907 00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,960 Speaker 1: two factor authentication app that does every single thing that 908 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:23,839 Speaker 1: I want it to do. 909 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:25,480 Speaker 2: It's number one. It's free. 910 00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,120 Speaker 1: It's available on iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux. If 911 00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:32,359 Speaker 1: you've got a Linux out there. It's open source, it's 912 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,200 Speaker 1: ad free. It does not lock you in, which I love. 913 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:38,720 Speaker 1: You can import or export your two factor authentication codes. 914 00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,840 Speaker 1: Unlike SMS codes. The app is much more secure because 915 00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,680 Speaker 1: you know your phone ewer could be lost, stolen, changed, simswapped, 916 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,480 Speaker 1: and this is an app, so everything is inside an app. 917 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,880 Speaker 1: And it also supports biometrics so you can have it. 918 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,359 Speaker 1: You know, even if someone gets your phone, they would 919 00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,279 Speaker 1: still need to use a pin or your fingerp or 920 00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,400 Speaker 1: your face to unlock it. So that's another added security 921 00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 1: thing which I love. And the other thing, I mean, 922 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:07,920 Speaker 1: they just thought of everything with this app, which is 923 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,879 Speaker 1: why I absolutely am just gushing over it. You can 924 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:15,000 Speaker 1: sink your codes across devices, or you can keep them local. 925 00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:17,279 Speaker 1: So if you're one of these people that's super you know, 926 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,640 Speaker 1: security centric, and you're saying I don't want my codes 927 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,040 Speaker 1: going anywhere else, you can just keep them on your phone, 928 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,920 Speaker 1: or you can sync them across devices. And you have 929 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,759 Speaker 1: two options of sinking. You can back them up to 930 00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:31,320 Speaker 1: your your own cloud like a Google like the Proton 931 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:36,920 Speaker 1: Cloud or iCloud, or you can use their own cloud 932 00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:38,680 Speaker 1: to sink them across. So I mean there's lots of 933 00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,799 Speaker 1: options here, which I really really love. So anyway, I've 934 00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,640 Speaker 1: already installed this. I'm going to make the switch slowly 935 00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,839 Speaker 1: but surely. But I really think that Proton Authenticator has 936 00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:49,239 Speaker 1: done a great job. So if you want to link 937 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,480 Speaker 1: to that, I'll put it on the website. Rich on 938 00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 1: tech dot TV. All right, I don't think I have 939 00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:57,239 Speaker 1: time for another call, right, I've got what like about 940 00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:57,839 Speaker 1: a minute left? 941 00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,920 Speaker 2: Okay, let's see what I want to do. Let's see here. 942 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:02,880 Speaker 1: I'll tell you about one more thing before we go 943 00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:04,960 Speaker 1: to break here. I'm trying to see you. Do I 944 00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,319 Speaker 1: have any calls that I can do quickly here? 945 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:08,080 Speaker 2: Probably not. 946 00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:14,080 Speaker 1: So Uber has launched a new women Preferences mode. So 947 00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,239 Speaker 1: if you're a woman and you want a woman to 948 00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,600 Speaker 1: be driving you, which you knows various reasons why you 949 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:22,840 Speaker 1: may want that, safety, security, whatever, this feature lets you 950 00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,640 Speaker 1: choose to have matched with a woman. And so this 951 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,640 Speaker 1: is rolling out in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Detroit's 952 00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,440 Speaker 1: not everywhere just yet, but if you're a woman on 953 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,200 Speaker 1: the app, you can request a female driver on demand 954 00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,719 Speaker 1: or when you make an advanced reservation. So there's a 955 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,880 Speaker 1: default preference in the app settings, which they say increases 956 00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,040 Speaker 1: the likelihood of being matched with a woman driver. So 957 00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:48,040 Speaker 1: it's not like guaranteed every time, I guess, but you know, 958 00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,879 Speaker 1: it's kind of a nice option to have. Uber says 959 00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,480 Speaker 1: this makes the platform safer, more flexible, and more comfortable 960 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:56,240 Speaker 1: for women, and they will roll it out to expand 961 00:46:56,239 --> 00:47:00,239 Speaker 1: across the US based on feedback and usage data. For 962 00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:04,000 Speaker 1: what it's worth Lift already has this feature available to everyone, 963 00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:06,719 Speaker 1: and we've actually done this, my wife and I. 964 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,160 Speaker 2: She requested a ride. I happen to be in it. 965 00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:10,920 Speaker 1: We got a female driver and we asked her all 966 00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:12,439 Speaker 1: about this and she said, oh my god, it's great. 967 00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:14,480 Speaker 2: It's like, I love this. It's so great. 968 00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,200 Speaker 1: It's you know, I can drive other women around and 969 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,160 Speaker 1: it's just people. The women that I'm driving, they all 970 00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,399 Speaker 1: talk about how much they love it. So again, it's 971 00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,520 Speaker 1: just another option. Uber is if you want to check 972 00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,160 Speaker 1: it out in your settings. You can check that out 973 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,319 Speaker 1: if you live in one of those cities. Otherwise, if 974 00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,600 Speaker 1: you want to try that feature, Lyft does have it 975 00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,239 Speaker 1: all right. Eighty eight rich one On one eighty eight 976 00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,040 Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one.

I don't know why 979 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:44,800 Speaker 1: you all decide to call this weekend. It's so nice outside, 980 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:45,799 Speaker 1: but hey, I'll take it. 981 00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:46,840 Speaker 2: And coming up. 982 00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,279 Speaker 1: We got more interviews, more of your questions, and more 983 00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:53,160 Speaker 1: tech news right here on rich on Tech. Welcome back 984 00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,239 Speaker 1: to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here eighty eight rich 985 00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:58,839 Speaker 1: one On one eighty eight seven four to two four 986 00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:03,680 Speaker 1: one zero one one. The website for the show rich 987 00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:08,239 Speaker 1: on tech dot tv links to everything I mentioned is 988 00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:15,000 Speaker 1: right there. Let's go to Sarah in Santa Ana. Sarah, 989 00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:16,439 Speaker 1: you are on with Rich. 990 00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:18,960 Speaker 3: Hi. 991 00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:22,520 Speaker 12: My daughters starting college and her laptop is dying, and 992 00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:26,000 Speaker 12: I don't have any money really to buy anything new, 993 00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:31,040 Speaker 12: but she wants a MacBook. What do you think my 994 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:34,719 Speaker 12: best option is? Do you know anything about financing? Are 995 00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:39,440 Speaker 12: there student programs where she could get something for a 996 00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 12: loan or for free? Or if I had to buy something, 997 00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:44,080 Speaker 12: what should I get? 998 00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:50,319 Speaker 1: Well, I don't necessarily promote financing or loans, so I 999 00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:55,560 Speaker 1: don't really necessarily like that avenue. We're talking about nine 1000 00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,560 Speaker 1: hundred dollars one thousand dollars here. So my advice is 1001 00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:02,799 Speaker 1: to save up and do whatever you can to save 1002 00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:05,040 Speaker 1: up that money and buy it. Because a computer that's 1003 00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:06,719 Speaker 1: paid for is probably going to feel a lot better 1004 00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,239 Speaker 1: for your daughter than something that you're making payments on. 1005 00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,600 Speaker 1: So that's my number one kind of the way that 1006 00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,440 Speaker 1: I do things in my life. I don't like a 1007 00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:16,440 Speaker 1: lot of debt. I don't like a lot of payments 1008 00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:20,040 Speaker 1: and things like that, So I don't don't really like that, 1009 00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,040 Speaker 1: So I understand where you're coming from. 1010 00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:22,640 Speaker 2: I get it. 1011 00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,120 Speaker 1: There have been times in my life where there's just 1012 00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:27,920 Speaker 1: the money is not there and you can't buy it, 1013 00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,440 Speaker 1: and so I get that. In the meantime, you know, 1014 00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:34,439 Speaker 1: there are libraries at college she can use. There are 1015 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,800 Speaker 1: inexpensive laptops. I mean there if she just wants something, 1016 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:42,600 Speaker 1: that is the absolute most inexpensive laptop that you can 1017 00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:46,239 Speaker 1: probably cobble together some cash for it is the M 1018 00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,960 Speaker 1: one MacBook Air. And you can get this thing for 1019 00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:54,240 Speaker 1: you know, brand new. It's selling for like five ninety 1020 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:58,320 Speaker 1: nine on Walmart dot com and I've seen it even cheaper. 1021 00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:01,319 Speaker 1: So this is a that's a couple of years old. 1022 00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:03,920 Speaker 1: But I'll be honest, my wife uses it and it's 1023 00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:05,560 Speaker 1: fine for her. So if it's good enough for her, 1024 00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:07,920 Speaker 1: I think it's good enough for your daughter. But it 1025 00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:11,880 Speaker 1: is aging, and so it's been a bit so, you know, 1026 00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:15,520 Speaker 1: but the avenue I would look at is number one. 1027 00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:17,839 Speaker 1: If you want that computer, the MacBook Air M one. 1028 00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:21,879 Speaker 1: That's a really to me, that's that's a fantastic deal 1029 00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,799 Speaker 1: that's still out there. I mean, look at this. This 1030 00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:27,080 Speaker 1: it's five years old, so it's on sale for under 1031 00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,759 Speaker 1: six hundred dollars. I guess Walmart's price is probably the 1032 00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:35,240 Speaker 1: best right now, So that's number one. The other avenue 1033 00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,640 Speaker 1: to explore is if you go to Apple Education store. 1034 00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,359 Speaker 1: They've got their back to school discounts. I haven't heard 1035 00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,960 Speaker 1: that they've started their back to school offers just yet, 1036 00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,759 Speaker 1: so I would probably wait because typically they do a 1037 00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:50,520 Speaker 1: back to school offer any day now and they'll give 1038 00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,880 Speaker 1: you like an extra one hundred dollars gift card or 1039 00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,239 Speaker 1: something with your purchase. But if you're going to get 1040 00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:59,360 Speaker 1: something new, then the computer I would recommend for your 1041 00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,400 Speaker 1: daughter is the MacBook Air, and I understand why she 1042 00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:04,760 Speaker 1: wants one because it is the computer that I've relied 1043 00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:08,480 Speaker 1: on for years. It is an incredible machine, and it 1044 00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:10,640 Speaker 1: is just it does everything you need and this thing 1045 00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:15,120 Speaker 1: will last you ten years, no joke. MacBook Air thirteen 1046 00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:19,680 Speaker 1: inch is eight ninety nine for the education pricing, So 1047 00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:22,279 Speaker 1: you can get a computer with the latest specs for 1048 00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:23,040 Speaker 1: eight ninety nine. 1049 00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:25,040 Speaker 2: Now, I get it. Sarah. 1050 00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,279 Speaker 1: I understand that you know you're going through a tough 1051 00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,719 Speaker 1: time right now with the financials, but I feel like 1052 00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,960 Speaker 1: it's one of these things where just, you know, try 1053 00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:36,240 Speaker 1: to just cobble together that cash, sell some stuff around 1054 00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:38,760 Speaker 1: the house, whatever you can do to get that money. 1055 00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:41,360 Speaker 1: You can even trade in old things, like if you 1056 00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:45,160 Speaker 1: have some old gadgets and things that are even Apple gadgets, 1057 00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:46,719 Speaker 1: you can trade those in at the Apple Store to 1058 00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:49,480 Speaker 1: get a gift card. But my advice is if you 1059 00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:53,040 Speaker 1: want something that's super super inexpensive, I think the M 1060 00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:55,319 Speaker 1: one MacBook is the way to go. It's still going 1061 00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:58,000 Speaker 1: to last and still be a good deal even five 1062 00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,520 Speaker 1: years later. The problem is with that, you're going to 1063 00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,800 Speaker 1: spend six hundred dollars and your daughter is in school 1064 00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,560 Speaker 1: for a couple of years. You said she's starting college, 1065 00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,200 Speaker 1: So is that going to last four more years? I'm 1066 00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:12,000 Speaker 1: not sure. Whereas if you spend a little bit more 1067 00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,960 Speaker 1: on the newer MacBook, it's definitely gonna last four years 1068 00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:16,120 Speaker 1: plus plus plus. 1069 00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:18,879 Speaker 2: So I hope that answers your question. I know it's tough. 1070 00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,440 Speaker 1: It's these things are not cheap, they're really not, and 1071 00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,640 Speaker 1: it's a big purchase for people. But I like the 1072 00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:28,719 Speaker 1: idea that you're thinking about the Mac because it does 1073 00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:32,399 Speaker 1: last a very long time. Thanks for the call Mark 1074 00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:33,120 Speaker 1: and Woodland Hills. 1075 00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:33,520 Speaker 2: What's up? 1076 00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:34,920 Speaker 5: You know? 1077 00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,800 Speaker 4: I just want to practice by saying, there's another tracker 1078 00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:41,359 Speaker 4: that our company has found to be extremely efficacious. It's 1079 00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,560 Speaker 4: called Track E, a track with an E on the 1080 00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,399 Speaker 4: end of it there, and it's independent and you can 1081 00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:49,920 Speaker 4: use it with any kind of phone, and we found 1082 00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:53,960 Speaker 4: that our drivers who know about it, we rely on 1083 00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:56,360 Speaker 4: it because we've got to know where our drivers are going. Anyway, 1084 00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:01,000 Speaker 4: I'm calling basically about family tree sites. My wife and 1085 00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,880 Speaker 4: I are interested in passing on our family tree to 1086 00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:09,040 Speaker 4: our sons. I'm of European ancestry. She's a sub Saharan ancestry. 1087 00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:13,080 Speaker 4: You know, she's African American and for her in particular, 1088 00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,799 Speaker 4: we have just it's just so challenging to try and 1089 00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,240 Speaker 4: delve into it. And I know there are some companies 1090 00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:23,120 Speaker 4: out there that specialize in African Americans, and we're not 1091 00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:25,279 Speaker 4: interested in the DNA yet until they work out the 1092 00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:30,040 Speaker 4: controversies about you know, some of the you know, some 1093 00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:31,959 Speaker 4: of the issues that they have with that. But we're 1094 00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:35,880 Speaker 4: hoping that you could refer to some sort of family 1095 00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,200 Speaker 4: tree site that could help us out with her ancestry 1096 00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:40,040 Speaker 4: back to Africa. 1097 00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,759 Speaker 1: Well, I don't have a good answer off the top 1098 00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:44,799 Speaker 1: of my head, but just doing a quick search while 1099 00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:48,160 Speaker 1: you're talking here, I've summed upon a website called Blackpast 1100 00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:54,000 Speaker 1: dot org and they've got an entire page with links 1101 00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:55,760 Speaker 1: to just about I mean, this is the most thorough. 1102 00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:59,360 Speaker 1: This is so thorough, and it's got links to every 1103 00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:03,719 Speaker 1: single thing for African American family history resources. And it's 1104 00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:05,719 Speaker 1: not just their stuff. It's like they've gone out and 1105 00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:08,839 Speaker 1: found links to every single website that deals with this. 1106 00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:14,280 Speaker 1: And so Blackpast dot org Genealogy Resources is the actual 1107 00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,359 Speaker 1: site page. But I would check that out because I'm 1108 00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,239 Speaker 1: looking at this and it's got pretty much everything you 1109 00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:22,480 Speaker 1: can imagine when it comes to this topic. So I'll 1110 00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,759 Speaker 1: put this up on the website. Mark rich on tech 1111 00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,520 Speaker 1: dot tv. Thanks for the note on tracky. I believe 1112 00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:29,960 Speaker 1: that's spelled with an I. By the way, I'll take 1113 00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:32,040 Speaker 1: a look at that as well. Eighty eight rich one 1114 00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:34,520 Speaker 1: on one eighty eight seven four to two four one 1115 00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:35,560 Speaker 1: zero one more. 1116 00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:36,480 Speaker 2: Rich on Tech after this. 1117 00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,959 Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging 1118 00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:44,160 Speaker 1: out with you talking technology. A couple of weeks ago, 1119 00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:46,479 Speaker 1: I posted a picture of me eating a hot dog 1120 00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:48,520 Speaker 1: on social media. 1121 00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:49,360 Speaker 2: There was a reason. 1122 00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,280 Speaker 1: It's because I went to a place called Wiener Snitzel 1123 00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:56,000 Speaker 1: where they are now using AI at the drive through. 1124 00:54:56,719 --> 00:55:00,560 Speaker 1: Here to talk about that is Gela Fairv is the 1125 00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,680 Speaker 1: CEO of Presto. They are the folks that are putting 1126 00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:06,960 Speaker 1: AI in the drive through order boxes. Let's already has 1127 00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,160 Speaker 1: to say about how this is changing the way we 1128 00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:12,680 Speaker 1: place fast food orders. 1129 00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:17,920 Speaker 13: So Presto is an AI business which is creating an 1130 00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:21,200 Speaker 13: AI solution for the drive through for the QSR industry. 1131 00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:25,960 Speaker 13: So when your car pulls up currently to the speaker 1132 00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:27,920 Speaker 13: box in a drive through restaurant and you speak to 1133 00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:31,840 Speaker 13: a human through the speaker box currently working in the restaurant, 1134 00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:34,840 Speaker 13: we are changing that system such that you would be 1135 00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:37,840 Speaker 13: communicating with an AI system, which would reduce the amount 1136 00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,960 Speaker 13: of labor the restaurant leeds and can also begin to 1137 00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:44,440 Speaker 13: automate things such as upsell and other forms of marketing 1138 00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:45,120 Speaker 13: in the drive through. 1139 00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:50,320 Speaker 2: So how good is the AI like? Can it replace 1140 00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:52,920 Speaker 2: the human that's currently taking orders? 1141 00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:56,480 Speaker 13: And what's the vain Yeah, and in a vat majority 1142 00:55:56,480 --> 00:56:00,160 Speaker 13: of instances the system can do that. So we have 1143 00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:03,480 Speaker 13: something called a non intervention rate, and that's the industry standard. 1144 00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:06,520 Speaker 13: So that's the number of times that the system works 1145 00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:10,279 Speaker 13: or without a human having to step in, and those 1146 00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:13,320 Speaker 13: are already in the nineties, so in a vast majority 1147 00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,600 Speaker 13: of instances that works. Their drive through is a very 1148 00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:19,759 Speaker 13: complicated environment, and so on some occasions you do need 1149 00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:21,319 Speaker 13: the store to step in. 1150 00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:21,840 Speaker 6: Anyway. 1151 00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:25,680 Speaker 13: In terms of the advantages, I think for the our customer, 1152 00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:29,680 Speaker 13: so the restaurant, there are two clear advantages. One of 1153 00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:33,840 Speaker 13: those is the labor redistribution or replacement. So very often 1154 00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,680 Speaker 13: they're not actually removing that at that staff member, they're 1155 00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:38,640 Speaker 13: putting in somewhere else in the restaurant, so they could 1156 00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:41,719 Speaker 13: man the front counter or do other things. But that 1157 00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:45,520 Speaker 13: increases the labor efficiency. Then on the other side, it's 1158 00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:48,359 Speaker 13: the up cell, so you also get revenue increase, and 1159 00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:51,279 Speaker 13: that's the result of humans are actually pretty inconsistent and 1160 00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,800 Speaker 13: quite bad at upselling or saying you would you like 1161 00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,440 Speaker 13: to make that a combo? Have you tried our ice cream? 1162 00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:59,680 Speaker 13: For example, AI does it for awnestly every time because 1163 00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:01,400 Speaker 13: it's a as a system, and it can also do 1164 00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:03,480 Speaker 13: it in a very predictive manner, so it can collect 1165 00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:06,120 Speaker 13: data over the days and over the weeks to say, well, 1166 00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,240 Speaker 13: you know, last time we try to upsell this item, 1167 00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:08,800 Speaker 13: it worked. 1168 00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:10,359 Speaker 2: This one didn't, so I'm going to try this. 1169 00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:13,120 Speaker 13: Item a bit more So from a restaurant perspective, you 1170 00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:15,839 Speaker 13: get greater revenue or greater check size, and you also 1171 00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:18,400 Speaker 13: have more efficient or less labor costs, so you get 1172 00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:21,800 Speaker 13: a really significant impact for the customer as in sorry, 1173 00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:24,640 Speaker 13: the end of consumer. The advantage for them, I think 1174 00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:27,600 Speaker 13: is also the consistency of the system. So you know, 1175 00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:29,160 Speaker 13: very often if you pull up and you speak to 1176 00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:30,760 Speaker 13: a different person every day, you might get a very 1177 00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:32,880 Speaker 13: different experience. You might not be able to understand them, 1178 00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:36,000 Speaker 13: they might be a minute before they come to you. 1179 00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:37,720 Speaker 13: You don't get any of those issues. So we find 1180 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,880 Speaker 13: that our customers and the end consumers are both very 1181 00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:42,000 Speaker 13: pro the system. 1182 00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:45,160 Speaker 2: And who's using this system and how tough is it 1183 00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:45,840 Speaker 2: to get started. 1184 00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,760 Speaker 13: In terms of the industry altogether, we are now kind 1185 00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:52,760 Speaker 13: of at the major roll out phase. So this is 1186 00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:55,200 Speaker 13: where over the last two years, a lot of large 1187 00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:57,760 Speaker 13: chains and medium chains have begin trialing this. They've been 1188 00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:00,680 Speaker 13: picking their supplies, they've been honing this systems, and they're 1189 00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:03,320 Speaker 13: now enrolled out. So whilst it may only be in 1190 00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:05,880 Speaker 13: sort of around one percent of all drive throughs at 1191 00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:09,000 Speaker 13: this stage, that that number is increasing very very quickly, 1192 00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:12,760 Speaker 13: and so you will expect to see that change quite 1193 00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:16,240 Speaker 13: significantly over the coming months and months and years. In 1194 00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:19,680 Speaker 13: terms of barriers to entry, there are very few. So 1195 00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:22,520 Speaker 13: the system that we install is is a very small 1196 00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:24,760 Speaker 13: box that we put into the speaker box and then 1197 00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:27,400 Speaker 13: a vast majority of it is hosted on the cloud 1198 00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:29,960 Speaker 13: on our end, and so there is no real barrier 1199 00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,200 Speaker 13: to who can have this and who cannot. You don't 1200 00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:34,320 Speaker 13: have to be McDonald's or Burger you can have this. 1201 00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:36,920 Speaker 13: We have a number of customers who are in the 1202 00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:39,360 Speaker 13: kind of what we describe as the mid market, so 1203 00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,760 Speaker 13: they can be a smaller number of stores, but they 1204 00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:45,480 Speaker 13: can still get the same efficiencies in a large one. 1205 00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:45,320 Speaker 5: To do so. 1206 00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:48,040 Speaker 1: You know, we saw with the automation of you know, 1207 00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:50,560 Speaker 1: eight hundred numbers, people just say can I have an operator? 1208 00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:53,680 Speaker 1: Like do you have the option of getting a human 1209 00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:55,920 Speaker 1: if you want one? And are people asking for that 1210 00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:57,200 Speaker 1: or they like this system? 1211 00:58:57,520 --> 00:58:59,320 Speaker 13: Yeah, So people can say can I'd like to speak 1212 00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:01,320 Speaker 13: to a human and they be put through to the store. 1213 00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:06,120 Speaker 13: It's actually very rare that they do that because the 1214 00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:10,720 Speaker 13: order is being taken quickly and efficiently, and people tend 1215 00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:12,840 Speaker 13: to want to get through the drive through quickly themselves. 1216 00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:14,480 Speaker 13: To go and ask for a human just makes your 1217 00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,800 Speaker 13: experience longer. And as a result, they only really do 1218 00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:21,320 Speaker 13: it if somebody is you know, maybe technically struggling with it. 1219 00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:25,200 Speaker 13: Orbit in a vast majority of instance, they don't even notice, 1220 00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:28,120 Speaker 13: or sometimes if they have a very specific allergy or question. 1221 00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:31,040 Speaker 13: In that instance, it is always important to go through 1222 00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:32,880 Speaker 13: to the store and ask system alos you to do that. 1223 00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:36,880 Speaker 2: And so how is the AI at taking orders? 1224 00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:41,080 Speaker 13: Yeah, it's getting it's getting better. I would say that 1225 00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:43,640 Speaker 13: if you'd ask me that two years ago. The technology 1226 00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:46,560 Speaker 13: was still pretty nascent and so it was effective, but 1227 00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:48,680 Speaker 13: it had, you know, lots of things that couldn't quite 1228 00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:50,880 Speaker 13: do it wouldn't be able to handle certain questions, or 1229 00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:53,800 Speaker 13: wouldn't be able to handle specials or coupons or things. 1230 00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:56,840 Speaker 13: But in particular over the last six months, the rate 1231 00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:59,960 Speaker 13: of pace of advancement has been you know, quite extraordin. 1232 01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:03,120 Speaker 13: You know, our system can now do things such as 1233 01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:09,160 Speaker 13: coupons or special offers or very complicated combos. You know, 1234 01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:10,960 Speaker 13: we have a menu for a client that we've just 1235 01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:13,520 Speaker 13: signed where I think the total number of different combinations 1236 01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:15,920 Speaker 13: is in the billions because their menu is so complicated 1237 01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:18,840 Speaker 13: and it can handle it can handle all of those things. 1238 01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:21,880 Speaker 13: We can also do phone ordering now, so people ring 1239 01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:23,560 Speaker 13: up the restaurant and say I want to place a 1240 01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:26,160 Speaker 13: catering order, we have the ability to handle that order 1241 01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:29,240 Speaker 13: as well. So there's there's very little, if anything, which 1242 01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:31,240 Speaker 13: can now not be done with AI that used to 1243 01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:32,040 Speaker 13: be done with humans. 1244 01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:35,280 Speaker 2: And what have you learned in this process about how 1245 01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:38,960 Speaker 2: people order or you know, something that you didn't really 1246 01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,360 Speaker 2: think about before and how you had to implement it. 1247 01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:45,880 Speaker 13: I think the complexity of the drive through is the 1248 01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:48,080 Speaker 13: big one, and I'm going to split that into two things. 1249 01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:51,040 Speaker 13: One is that there is the kind of technical complexity 1250 01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:53,760 Speaker 13: of the drive through. So there's so many systems that 1251 01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:56,560 Speaker 13: actually sit behind the scenes that people don't see. So 1252 01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:59,560 Speaker 13: you've got a different POS system and base station system 1253 01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:03,080 Speaker 13: in all of these different chains. And the menu complexity 1254 01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:06,000 Speaker 13: at the back end is incredibly difficult to navigate, and 1255 01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:07,320 Speaker 13: that's something that we have to spend a lot. 1256 01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:07,840 Speaker 5: Of time doing. 1257 01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:10,200 Speaker 13: But then on the second box, it's just the things 1258 01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:12,880 Speaker 13: that happen in the drive through you would just not imagine. 1259 01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:15,560 Speaker 13: So every drive through environment is different, and that's why 1260 01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:18,680 Speaker 13: it has taken us a couple of years in order 1261 01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:20,640 Speaker 13: to hone our system to the quality it is today. 1262 01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,080 Speaker 13: You think about some drive throughs the next to freeways, 1263 01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:25,440 Speaker 13: and other ones are not. Some drive throughs are in 1264 01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:28,560 Speaker 13: you very heavy rain areas, and other ones are not. 1265 01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:30,960 Speaker 13: You have people pulling up with three kids in the car, 1266 01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:33,760 Speaker 13: shouting every menu item you can possibly imagine. You have 1267 01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:36,640 Speaker 13: people ordering for the wrong restaurant they think they're at, 1268 01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:38,720 Speaker 13: you know, they think they're at one restaurant actually another. 1269 01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:41,240 Speaker 13: You have to be able to handle all of those 1270 01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:43,520 Speaker 13: edge cases, and so that non intervention rate that I 1271 01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:46,440 Speaker 13: told you has improved significantly over the last year. But 1272 01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:48,320 Speaker 13: a lot of those interventions used to be for stuff 1273 01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:50,680 Speaker 13: that you would never have dreamed of until you started doing. 1274 01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:55,000 Speaker 1: Getting one of these jobs an order taker, while it's imperfect, 1275 01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:57,000 Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of an entry level job. 1276 01:01:57,160 --> 01:01:59,200 Speaker 2: And you know, is that going away or are we 1277 01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:00,800 Speaker 2: going to have this job in the future. 1278 01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:05,560 Speaker 13: I think the actual taking of the order probably not. 1279 01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:08,560 Speaker 13: I think these systems are going to get so robust, 1280 01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:10,800 Speaker 13: but I don't think that that means that fewer people 1281 01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:13,200 Speaker 13: are going to be working usr are working for these brands. 1282 01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,040 Speaker 13: As I say, a lot of what we talk about 1283 01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:19,080 Speaker 13: is labor redistribution, not labor replacement. So the ability for 1284 01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:21,960 Speaker 13: in a very competitive environment for your brand to be 1285 01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:24,560 Speaker 13: more customer friendly and more effective because you've got more 1286 01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:28,760 Speaker 13: people doing front of counter, doing the stock, doing the cleaning, 1287 01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:31,880 Speaker 13: and making your overall brand more successful for the same cost. 1288 01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:33,840 Speaker 13: So rather than it being hey, I want to take 1289 01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:36,000 Speaker 13: ten percent of my wage bill, it's I want my 1290 01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:39,120 Speaker 13: brand to be more successful, more customer friendly, have more 1291 01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:41,520 Speaker 13: people on the floor for the same price that I 1292 01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:43,560 Speaker 13: currently am doing it, and that's what our system allows. 1293 01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:45,920 Speaker 13: So I don't think that this is some huge threat 1294 01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:48,160 Speaker 13: to jobs. I think it's just going to change the 1295 01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:49,800 Speaker 13: way that people interact with the driver. 1296 01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:53,480 Speaker 1: And finally, any hacks for the customer or anything to know, 1297 01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:55,240 Speaker 1: like how do you know you're talking to AI? And 1298 01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:57,440 Speaker 1: is there anything fun you can do with it in 1299 01:02:57,480 --> 01:02:58,120 Speaker 1: the drive throw? 1300 01:02:58,960 --> 01:02:59,600 Speaker 2: So how do you know? 1301 01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:01,840 Speaker 13: So it's interesting some of our customers want it to 1302 01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:04,400 Speaker 13: sound like a robot because they want the customer to 1303 01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:06,160 Speaker 13: know it's AI, because it could be quite helpful for 1304 01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:08,520 Speaker 13: the interaction. But we also have an option, which is 1305 01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:11,120 Speaker 13: human voice, which is near impossible to tell that you're 1306 01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:14,640 Speaker 13: speaking to to to AI in that instance, and that 1307 01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:17,320 Speaker 13: depends on the brand as to what they're what they're 1308 01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:20,280 Speaker 13: doing in terms of like cool things you can do, 1309 01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:23,439 Speaker 13: So asking it, you know, interesting questions is a good 1310 01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:24,960 Speaker 13: is a good way to is a good way to 1311 01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,160 Speaker 13: test it out and see and see what responses you get. 1312 01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:29,320 Speaker 13: We are working on a system at the moment, oh sorry, 1313 01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:30,920 Speaker 13: a program at the moment which will be to put 1314 01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:34,200 Speaker 13: some Easter eggs in to to this. So you know, 1315 01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:37,400 Speaker 13: for certain brands, we think it could be really interesting 1316 01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:39,320 Speaker 13: if you put on social media being like hey, next 1317 01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:42,200 Speaker 13: time you're ordering from the AI, say this phrase and 1318 01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:46,040 Speaker 13: get like a free, a free, increasing your drink size 1319 01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:49,200 Speaker 13: or something that we think could be hugely interesting because 1320 01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:51,760 Speaker 13: I think it will begin to get real social interaction 1321 01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:54,360 Speaker 13: going with the AI, and that's something we'll be working 1322 01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:55,520 Speaker 13: on in the coming weeks as well. 1323 01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:59,800 Speaker 1: There you have it, Geel a fare from Prestol. They 1324 01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:03,680 Speaker 1: are putting AI in the drive through fast food restaurant 1325 01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:08,200 Speaker 1: ordering windows. Fascinating how that's happening, and I guarantee you 1326 01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:11,280 Speaker 1: will encounter it at some point. Not every restaurant's doing it, 1327 01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:13,440 Speaker 1: but you know, if they can save money be more 1328 01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:16,840 Speaker 1: efficient and of course upsell like you heard them say, yeah, 1329 01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:18,840 Speaker 1: they're probably going to do it. And this kind of 1330 01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:23,280 Speaker 1: goes with this new report from researchers at open AI, 1331 01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:26,720 Speaker 1: Open Research and UPEN, which talks about the jobs that 1332 01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:30,160 Speaker 1: are most at risk from AI. A new report says 1333 01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:32,600 Speaker 1: about eighty percent of US workers could see at least 1334 01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:35,800 Speaker 1: ten percent of their job tasks affected by generative AI. 1335 01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:39,480 Speaker 1: Nearly one in five workers may see fifty percent of 1336 01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:43,680 Speaker 1: their tasks impacted. Researchers looked at GPT models and other 1337 01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:48,800 Speaker 1: generative AI capabilities, things like text coding, image generation, video generation. 1338 01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:53,000 Speaker 1: Impact does not necessarily mean job loss. It could mean 1339 01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:56,680 Speaker 1: automation of tasks, like not your entire role, so things 1340 01:04:56,680 --> 01:05:00,440 Speaker 1: that you might do might be automated through AI. The 1341 01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:03,000 Speaker 1: jobs with the highest exposure tend to be white collar, 1342 01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:07,320 Speaker 1: high skilled, non technical roles. But the main takeaways AI 1343 01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:09,280 Speaker 1: is not going to take every job, but it will 1344 01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:11,920 Speaker 1: change how a lot of people work. Like you'd like that, 1345 01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:15,520 Speaker 1: Like the CEO just said, we're not trying to get 1346 01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:17,600 Speaker 1: rid of jobs at the drive through, but the way 1347 01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:19,760 Speaker 1: people work, if they work at a fast food place, 1348 01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:22,600 Speaker 1: they may not be multitasking with the drive through order 1349 01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:25,200 Speaker 1: while they complete other tasks. They might just focus on 1350 01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:29,880 Speaker 1: those other tasks. But tasks, I mean this is really true. 1351 01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:33,680 Speaker 1: Tasks like writing emails, analyzing data, or drafting reports could 1352 01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:36,680 Speaker 1: be done faster or automatically. So now it's probably a 1353 01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:38,360 Speaker 1: good time to think about which parts of your job 1354 01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:40,760 Speaker 1: could be done by AI, and what you think that 1355 01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:45,200 Speaker 1: AI cannot do so without further ado. The jobs most 1356 01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:51,360 Speaker 1: impacted by AI interpreters and translators, public relations specialists, court reporters, 1357 01:05:51,680 --> 01:06:00,000 Speaker 1: blockchain engineers, journalists, uh oh, accountants and auditors, legal secretaries, paralegals, writers, authors, 1358 01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:06,640 Speaker 1: web designers, developers, market research analysis again, market research analysts again. 1359 01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:08,520 Speaker 1: They may not go away, but they might be the 1360 01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:12,800 Speaker 1: most impacted. Jobs least impacted by AI. Here we go, 1361 01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:21,640 Speaker 1: short order cooks, mechanics, line installers, drivers, athletes, stonemasons. 1362 01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:23,680 Speaker 2: I mean that's kind of a random list. 1363 01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:25,520 Speaker 1: I think they just looked at like, like what can 1364 01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:27,720 Speaker 1: we find as like the randomeest list of things that 1365 01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:31,000 Speaker 1: like we'll just make this report sound better that like, Okay, 1366 01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:34,840 Speaker 1: if you're a stone Mason, you're you're fine. I mean, athlete, 1367 01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:37,520 Speaker 1: I guess it's time for me to uh start hitting 1368 01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:42,320 Speaker 1: the gym and learn, uh learn football eight to eight 1369 01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:44,439 Speaker 1: rich one on one eighty eight seven four to two, 1370 01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:46,760 Speaker 1: four one zero one. Coming up, we're gonna talk about 1371 01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:53,800 Speaker 1: baseball card collecting and how tech is changing that. Welcome 1372 01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:56,440 Speaker 1: back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging out 1373 01:06:56,440 --> 01:07:01,800 Speaker 1: with you, talking technology eight eight eight rich one eight 1374 01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:05,320 Speaker 1: eight eight seven four to two four one zero one. 1375 01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:09,320 Speaker 1: The playlist this week is from my mom?

Really takes you right back. Okay. 1384 01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:30,960 Speaker 1: Let's let's talk to Ted Man. He created an app 1385 01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:36,840 Speaker 1: called Collects really kind of revolutionized baseball card collecting, trading, 1386 01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:41,680 Speaker 1: valuing of cards.

It 1392 01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:00,560 Speaker 5: took me a minute to run out trying to find 1393 01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:02,400 Speaker 5: a quiet place to talk.

I can't thank you enough for kind 1422 01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:10,080 Speaker 5: of help and spread the word. Early on Amazing, we 1423 01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:13,360 Speaker 5: learned about three and a half million users who scan 1424 01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:16,439 Speaker 5: get this rich two million cards every day. 1425 01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:19,280 Speaker 2: Oh wow, into the app. That is incredible. 1426 01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:22,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought I would. I would call in just 1427 01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:24,800 Speaker 5: to share because I I love listening to your show, 1428 01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:26,760 Speaker 5: like you were on my mind, not just because people 1429 01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:28,880 Speaker 5: were telling me they heard about the app from you, 1430 01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:31,040 Speaker 5: but also because I have it on my calendar.

We've seeing a lot of cool tech stories 1436 01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:43,960 Speaker 5: here and I thought maybe it'd be fun to share 1437 01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:46,920 Speaker 5: with your audience some of the not the collect story, 1438 01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:48,519 Speaker 5: which you've already shared, but like some of the other 1439 01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:50,120 Speaker 5: tech that we're seeing here at the show. 1440 01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:51,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, let me just I know, because people are 1441 01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:53,439 Speaker 1: going to want to download the app if they haven't 1442 01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:53,800 Speaker 1: used it. 1443 01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:58,479 Speaker 2: It's called COO l l X. That's what you search right, collects. 1444 01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:01,639 Speaker 5: Yep I phone Android, totally free app. Take a picture 1445 01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:04,400 Speaker 5: of any trading card, It'll identify it, you get the 1446 01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:07,200 Speaker 5: value and under a second and then you can build 1447 01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:11,280 Speaker 5: your collection. And we have a marketplace. Now. Marketplace is booming. 1448 01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:14,080 Speaker 5: It has been growing steadily and I think it's really 1449 01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:16,080 Speaker 5: kind of become a place that people look to buy 1450 01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:18,519 Speaker 5: cards every bit as much, if not more than eBay. 1451 01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:21,439 Speaker 1: Wow, that's wild. So what's happening at the show? What 1452 01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:23,599 Speaker 1: are some of the neat things you're seeing there? 1453 01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:26,720 Speaker 5: So there were like sort of three text stories I 1454 01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:28,479 Speaker 5: was thinking about, like what are the most interesting kind 1455 01:10:28,479 --> 01:10:32,280 Speaker 5: of trends? And the first is is live live selling. 1456 01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:36,800 Speaker 5: So are you have you ever been on whatnot or 1457 01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:38,600 Speaker 5: any of similar platforms. 1458 01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:42,439 Speaker 1: Yes, I did a segment with them, and it's wild. 1459 01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:44,679 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not I don't do it personally, but yeah, 1460 01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:46,880 Speaker 1: I'm familiar with the idea. It's like QVC for like 1461 01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:49,160 Speaker 1: a you know, anyone can do it from their phone 1462 01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:50,960 Speaker 1: basically exactly. 1463 01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:53,920 Speaker 5: So, I mean it has become such a big part 1464 01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:57,519 Speaker 5: of the hobby. There is probably maybe a fifth of 1465 01:10:57,600 --> 01:10:59,160 Speaker 5: the show floor here and it's a big it's a 1466 01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:04,000 Speaker 5: big show all dedicated to to what Not streamers. Breakers. 1467 01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:10,120 Speaker 5: Braking is when you basically buy usually high end trading 1468 01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:13,120 Speaker 5: card product like like boxes for like a thousand dollars 1469 01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:15,559 Speaker 5: and rather than the most average shows that I'm going 1470 01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:17,040 Speaker 5: to spend a thousand dollars on the box, but they'll 1471 01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:19,360 Speaker 5: sell shares, you know, so you can buy your team 1472 01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:21,920 Speaker 5: for instead of a thousand dollars for maybe for like 1473 01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:24,280 Speaker 5: fifty bucks, and then you get all the cards from 1474 01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:26,559 Speaker 5: that team. So that's become a huge part of the 1475 01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:28,679 Speaker 5: of the of the space and the floor. It's really 1476 01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:31,200 Speaker 5: fun and exciting. We're right next to all these breakers 1477 01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:34,519 Speaker 5: and they are constantly ripping open all these packs and 1478 01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:37,479 Speaker 5: finding really big heads. We did a couple of breaks, actually, 1479 01:11:37,479 --> 01:11:41,200 Speaker 5: we did giveaways on Whatnot my team and pulled some 1480 01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:45,320 Speaker 5: loola like a Webby number to five. Yeah, yesterday, it 1481 01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:49,040 Speaker 5: was a big card, maybe a thousand dollars card and yeah, 1482 01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:52,439 Speaker 5: it's super fun. So that's one. You know, it's not 1483 01:11:52,680 --> 01:11:55,640 Speaker 5: just what not to. By the way, You've got Fanatics 1484 01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:59,080 Speaker 5: has a live streaming platform called Fanatics Live. You've also 1485 01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:01,920 Speaker 5: got Walmart believe it or not, and eBay all getting 1486 01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:02,840 Speaker 5: into the live selling. 1487 01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:04,280 Speaker 2: Oh wow, Walmart too. 1488 01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:04,599 Speaker 3: Huh. 1489 01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:08,200 Speaker 5: Yeah. I kind of like it because it I used 1490 01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:10,400 Speaker 5: to go to auctions with my parents, and to me, 1491 01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:12,559 Speaker 5: you know, there was always you know, as a kid, 1492 01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:14,720 Speaker 5: there's always like an auctioneer. There's always a person kind 1493 01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:18,000 Speaker 5: of like pitching and selling this stuff, you know, like 1494 01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:21,679 Speaker 5: you know, the rapid fire like you know, auctioneer like ease. Yeah, 1495 01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:23,320 Speaker 5: And I kind of like it because it feels to 1496 01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:26,000 Speaker 5: me more like like what an auction was always supposed 1497 01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:29,200 Speaker 5: to be. So I think it's a really fun experience. Okay, 1498 01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:30,920 Speaker 5: dangerously addictive. 1499 01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:32,479 Speaker 2: Yes, yes. And people. 1500 01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:34,360 Speaker 1: I mean we we sat through there was like a 1501 01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:36,880 Speaker 1: sneaker place that was selling on whatnot and they sold 1502 01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:39,000 Speaker 1: I think, like I think it was like ten thousand 1503 01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:41,599 Speaker 1: dollars worth of shoes in like a couple of minutes, 1504 01:12:41,640 --> 01:12:42,639 Speaker 1: like eight minutes or something. 1505 01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:43,759 Speaker 2: It was pretty wild. 1506 01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:47,639 Speaker 5: It's nutty. So right, breakers are like one hundred million 1507 01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:48,160 Speaker 5: dollar business. 1508 01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:50,479 Speaker 1: I've got about a minute left. So what what else 1509 01:12:50,479 --> 01:12:51,080 Speaker 1: are you seeing there? 1510 01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:53,080 Speaker 2: Tech wise? You said three stories? What not live? 1511 01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:55,439 Speaker 5: Yeah? Two other I'll be quick. The other one is 1512 01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:58,080 Speaker 5: digital repacks. So one of the things that you were 1513 01:12:58,080 --> 01:12:59,840 Speaker 5: talking about grading cards. One of the things that's become 1514 01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:03,840 Speaker 5: really popular is people will buy like a graded card 1515 01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:06,640 Speaker 5: kind of like in a like in a box and 1516 01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:08,400 Speaker 5: then you basically rip it open like you would but 1517 01:13:08,479 --> 01:13:11,639 Speaker 5: rip over a pack of cards. So that's become like huge. 1518 01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:14,160 Speaker 5: There's companies like Derek Jeter start a one called Arena 1519 01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:17,800 Speaker 5: Club that does that courtyard. So I think that's really interesting. 1520 01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:20,960 Speaker 5: And you know, I think definitely a trend that I'm 1521 01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:23,760 Speaker 5: seeing in the last one is AI, right, so now 1522 01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:26,519 Speaker 5: you're seeing I mean not just like collectyle visual search 1523 01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:29,719 Speaker 5: eye that you see. There are a few few tools 1524 01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:32,120 Speaker 5: now for like pricing AI. So you can figure out 1525 01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:34,479 Speaker 5: before you go buy a box of cards at your 1526 01:13:34,479 --> 01:13:36,439 Speaker 5: local hobby shop, and you can hop onto a site 1527 01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:39,360 Speaker 5: like wax sat and basically say is this the best 1528 01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:40,679 Speaker 5: price in Yeah. 1529 01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:41,639 Speaker 2: I got got to run. 1530 01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:43,840 Speaker 1: Hang on one second, we'll go to break Well, we'll 1531 01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:48,880 Speaker 1: be back after this.

Paul and Columbus. You're on 1550 01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:36,760 Speaker 2: with Rich. 1551 01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:40,599 Speaker 3: Hey, Rich, thanks for taking the call in good playlist 1552 01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:41,679 Speaker 3: from your mom there. 1553 01:14:41,760 --> 01:14:44,639 Speaker 1: Oh see, every time people seem to like it. Okay, 1554 01:14:44,680 --> 01:14:45,479 Speaker 1: what can I help you with? 1555 01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:45,880 Speaker 5: Oh? 1556 01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:49,919 Speaker 3: Probably more in my age range than yours, but anyway, 1557 01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:52,840 Speaker 3: I'll try to make a simple question and I can 1558 01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:57,120 Speaker 3: get more details. That's needed. Some apps when you're awaiting 1559 01:14:57,200 --> 01:15:03,439 Speaker 3: your home Wi Fi use to cellular data. Other ones 1560 01:15:03,680 --> 01:15:08,400 Speaker 3: require me to have a hotspot. Why and can you 1561 01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:12,800 Speaker 3: any there a third party software that could direct it otherwise. 1562 01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:18,720 Speaker 1: I I'm trying to so what apps require like a 1563 01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:21,519 Speaker 1: hot spot versus the cellular data because I haven't really 1564 01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:22,040 Speaker 1: run into that. 1565 01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:24,400 Speaker 2: I know that some apps want, you know. 1566 01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:28,000 Speaker 1: Sort of a better data connection, and so they'll have 1567 01:15:28,040 --> 01:15:30,000 Speaker 1: like an option that says, you know, only use Wi 1568 01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:30,840 Speaker 1: Fi by the fall. 1569 01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:33,480 Speaker 2: But what do you mean by that? Which apps specifically? 1570 01:15:33,560 --> 01:15:38,360 Speaker 3: Okay, Well, for example, I'm using the metaglasses. I'm visually 1571 01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:41,400 Speaker 3: impaired using the metaglasses, and they do really nice job 1572 01:15:41,439 --> 01:15:44,439 Speaker 3: and there's no you don't need a you know, a 1573 01:15:44,439 --> 01:15:47,280 Speaker 3: special connection or hot spot. It will just work with 1574 01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:51,720 Speaker 3: your cellular data. There's another brand that's coming out that 1575 01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:54,400 Speaker 3: it looks very good, specifically made for people. It's this 1576 01:15:55,040 --> 01:16:00,920 Speaker 3: vision problem and they use they use them a form 1577 01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:04,240 Speaker 3: that you have to use a hot spot to get 1578 01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:07,280 Speaker 3: that while you're away from your Wi Fi. 1579 01:16:08,720 --> 01:16:13,080 Speaker 1: Interesting, Okay, so I think the the reason for that 1580 01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:16,240 Speaker 1: is probably the data needs of that device. That's the 1581 01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:20,320 Speaker 1: only thing I can imagine that they because it's doing something, 1582 01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:22,639 Speaker 1: maybe it's doing something in real time, or it's it's 1583 01:16:22,680 --> 01:16:25,160 Speaker 1: pulling some sort of database, and it needs just what 1584 01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:27,639 Speaker 1: I would call like a you know, a fat connection 1585 01:16:27,720 --> 01:16:30,120 Speaker 1: to the internet, you know, like a bigger connection that 1586 01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:34,080 Speaker 1: that sort of can handle more data at once versus 1587 01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:37,720 Speaker 1: traditional cellular. But the thing is that's interesting is that 1588 01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:41,559 Speaker 1: traditional cellular has gotten so good that it's really not 1589 01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:42,320 Speaker 1: an issue. 1590 01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:43,559 Speaker 2: Like I go through all my apps. 1591 01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:45,240 Speaker 1: The first thing I do when I set up a 1592 01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:47,600 Speaker 1: new phone, you know, I test all these phones, is 1593 01:16:47,640 --> 01:16:50,240 Speaker 1: I just go through all the apps like Spotify, Netflix, 1594 01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:52,960 Speaker 1: this and that they all default to wanting to just 1595 01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:55,720 Speaker 1: download on Wi Fi. I'm like, no, my cellular's great, Like, 1596 01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:58,880 Speaker 1: go ahead, use as much data as you want. So 1597 01:16:58,920 --> 01:17:00,519 Speaker 1: that's the only thing I can think of, is that's 1598 01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:04,280 Speaker 1: a specific need of that app. Are you on iPhone 1599 01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:08,680 Speaker 1: or Android? Okay, I was gonna say so. For iPhone, 1600 01:17:09,160 --> 01:17:12,920 Speaker 1: there's really not a way to control the data that 1601 01:17:12,960 --> 01:17:15,080 Speaker 1: the apps use, Like there's not a way to like 1602 01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:18,000 Speaker 1: that I know of too easily unless it's in the 1603 01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:20,960 Speaker 1: app settings. There's not really a way to sort of 1604 01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:23,160 Speaker 1: command what that app does with data. 1605 01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:23,720 Speaker 2: I know. 1606 01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:26,400 Speaker 1: On Android, there's an app that I can't think of off 1607 01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:30,040 Speaker 1: the top of my head. But it's an app. Oh gosh, 1608 01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:32,240 Speaker 1: I gotta find it. But it's an app that lets 1609 01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:36,559 Speaker 1: you kind of change how other apps can use data. 1610 01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:38,320 Speaker 1: Like you can go in there and say, I only 1611 01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:40,519 Speaker 1: want my kindle to use Wi Fi, I only want 1612 01:17:40,520 --> 01:17:42,559 Speaker 1: my kindle to use Cellular, And you can do it 1613 01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:44,960 Speaker 1: for a case by case basis for any app, even 1614 01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:49,080 Speaker 1: if the app itself doesn't allow it.

I have an Android A fifteen, okay, Samsung, 1638 01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:47,839 Speaker 10: and I'm really happy with it. I did my first 1639 01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:52,920 Speaker 10: update about six or seven days ago. And after I 1640 01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:55,760 Speaker 10: did the update, which I believe it's called you I 1641 01:18:56,280 --> 01:18:57,360 Speaker 10: seven point zero. 1642 01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:01,200 Speaker 14: Yes, okay, it recons figured my phone, and I know 1643 01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:05,600 Speaker 14: that that happens when people do updates, but to the 1644 01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:08,919 Speaker 14: detriment of my ability to use the phone. 1645 01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:12,920 Speaker 10: So I have many windows. When I load Google Chrome, 1646 01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:17,360 Speaker 10: the windows aren't completely websites aren't completely loading. There's a 1647 01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:23,200 Speaker 10: lot of blank spots. I have been trying to troubleshoot myself, 1648 01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:26,960 Speaker 10: just researching, but I can. I haven't found it, so 1649 01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:29,960 Speaker 10: I defer to your expertise. I definitely need help. I 1650 01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:33,360 Speaker 10: don't it seems to be an extension issue, but I 1651 01:19:33,400 --> 01:19:34,360 Speaker 10: don't know for certain. 1652 01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:34,840 Speaker 2: Okay. 1653 01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:37,240 Speaker 1: So you updated to the one UI seven, which is 1654 01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:39,799 Speaker 1: you know, almost their latest. 1655 01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:40,000 Speaker 6: One. 1656 01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:42,680 Speaker 1: UI eight is Samsung's newest, but only a couple a 1657 01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:45,759 Speaker 1: handful of phones have that. So you got a pretty 1658 01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:48,800 Speaker 1: major software update with one UI seven. Did this add 1659 01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:50,320 Speaker 1: any AI features to your phone? 1660 01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:50,560 Speaker 6: Or no? 1661 01:19:51,439 --> 01:19:51,840 Speaker 5: It did? 1662 01:19:51,880 --> 01:19:55,920 Speaker 10: And I don't. I'm very I'm tech friendly, but I 1663 01:19:56,000 --> 01:20:00,799 Speaker 10: really don't want AI chat. It did load Google Gemini 1664 01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:03,920 Speaker 10: very I can't. I haven't. I would like to not 1665 01:20:04,040 --> 01:20:04,680 Speaker 10: have it on the. 1666 01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:06,800 Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if you can go back on that. 1667 01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:08,720 Speaker 1: I know that's kind of tricky, but there is a 1668 01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:13,240 Speaker 1: setting in Galaxy AI in your settings. There's now what 1669 01:20:13,320 --> 01:20:15,679 Speaker 1: I recommend. Typically when you get a big software update. 1670 01:20:15,680 --> 01:20:18,160 Speaker 1: You said you're tech friendly, So what I like to do? 1671 01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:19,400 Speaker 1: And I said, I like to do this on my 1672 01:20:19,439 --> 01:20:21,800 Speaker 1: Friday or Saturday nights instead of going out hanging out 1673 01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:24,080 Speaker 1: with friends. I like to go through the settings on 1674 01:20:24,160 --> 01:20:26,639 Speaker 1: my smartphone and just kind of see all the different 1675 01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:30,559 Speaker 1: options I have. Right, I'm kind of joking, but I 1676 01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:32,719 Speaker 1: do like to do this. Maybe you're not joking. 1677 01:20:33,560 --> 01:20:34,320 Speaker 2: I'm not doing it on a. 1678 01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:36,000 Speaker 1: Friday or Saturday night, but you know what I mean, like, just, 1679 01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:38,559 Speaker 1: you know, take some time to go through all the 1680 01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:41,519 Speaker 1: new options you have, because there are a lot, but 1681 01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:45,400 Speaker 1: specifically with Galaxy AI, there is an option under your 1682 01:20:45,400 --> 01:20:49,879 Speaker 1: settings under Galaxy AI to process data only on device, 1683 01:20:50,439 --> 01:20:52,599 Speaker 1: and that means it's only going to do the things 1684 01:20:52,880 --> 01:20:55,439 Speaker 1: that it can do without pinging the internet, So that 1685 01:20:55,479 --> 01:20:58,280 Speaker 1: will actually kind of limit some of the AI features 1686 01:20:58,280 --> 01:21:01,120 Speaker 1: on that device. That's number one. When it comes to Chrome. 1687 01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:03,519 Speaker 1: It sounds to me when you say, what do you 1688 01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:05,800 Speaker 1: mean by extension? What do you have installed in there? 1689 01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:07,759 Speaker 1: That's that could be interfering with Chrome? 1690 01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:14,000 Speaker 10: I don't know, And let me just I'm I'm user friendly. 1691 01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:15,280 Speaker 10: I'm not tech savvy. 1692 01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:16,280 Speaker 2: Okay, God, that's. 1693 01:21:16,160 --> 01:21:20,080 Speaker 10: An important correction. Yeah, Okay, So when I the Windows 1694 01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:24,040 Speaker 10: don't load since I did the update, they don't load completely. 1695 01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:27,400 Speaker 10: Pictures prompts with the little where it has a lot 1696 01:21:27,439 --> 01:21:31,519 Speaker 10: of like pre configured questions and you can tap the arrow, 1697 01:21:31,960 --> 01:21:33,080 Speaker 10: everything's frozen. 1698 01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:36,839 Speaker 1: Okay, So it's all kind of messed up on Chrome specifically. Okay, 1699 01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:39,679 Speaker 1: So have you gone through and have you made sure 1700 01:21:39,760 --> 01:21:42,720 Speaker 1: all your apps are updated after you did the software update? Like, 1701 01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:44,519 Speaker 1: did you go into Google Play and make sure all 1702 01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:45,519 Speaker 1: your apps are up to date? 1703 01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:50,120 Speaker 10: I don't even use google Play. I only use I 1704 01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:55,519 Speaker 10: use the least amount of permissions I did. I have 1705 01:21:55,680 --> 01:21:58,200 Speaker 10: gone through everything as much as I know how, and 1706 01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:04,200 Speaker 10: I've repeatedly gone through settings within the apps settings, you 1707 01:22:04,240 --> 01:22:08,720 Speaker 10: know internally apps on the phone, and then actually settings 1708 01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:13,719 Speaker 10: through Chrome Live. Let's say, does that answer your question? 1709 01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:15,640 Speaker 1: Okay, so yeah, So what I would do is I 1710 01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:18,040 Speaker 1: would open up Google Play. I know you don't have 1711 01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:19,880 Speaker 1: to install anything new, but I want to make sure 1712 01:22:19,920 --> 01:22:21,720 Speaker 1: that all your apps are updated. So there's a couple 1713 01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:24,439 Speaker 1: of things I'd like you to do. Number one and 1714 01:22:24,479 --> 01:22:26,000 Speaker 1: I'll put this all in the show notes. You don't 1715 01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:27,559 Speaker 1: have to like write it all down. But number one, 1716 01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:30,479 Speaker 1: go into Google Play and you know, you got to 1717 01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:33,080 Speaker 1: tap your profile in the upper right hand corner. It 1718 01:22:33,120 --> 01:22:36,680 Speaker 1: says manage apps and Devices, and then it says overview 1719 01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:39,800 Speaker 1: apps up to date, or you can say you can 1720 01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:42,080 Speaker 1: tap that and say check for app updates. That's the 1721 01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:43,600 Speaker 1: number one thing you have to do is check for 1722 01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:46,160 Speaker 1: your app updates. Make sure that Chrome is on the 1723 01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:48,479 Speaker 1: latest version, because you might be running an old version 1724 01:22:48,479 --> 01:22:51,040 Speaker 1: of Chrome now with a new operating system. They might 1725 01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:54,120 Speaker 1: be competing with each other and something's going wrong. That's 1726 01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:57,679 Speaker 1: number one. Number two, then you have to go into 1727 01:22:57,880 --> 01:23:02,200 Speaker 1: what's called the Galaxy Store, and this is Samsung's own 1728 01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:06,479 Speaker 1: app updates. And so if you go into your apps 1729 01:23:06,479 --> 01:23:10,760 Speaker 1: your list of apps, and you type store. You can 1730 01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:14,719 Speaker 1: find the Galaxy Store and this is Samsung's own version 1731 01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:16,920 Speaker 1: of Google Play. And you go to the menu there 1732 01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:19,920 Speaker 1: and it says updates. You tap that, and then you 1733 01:23:19,960 --> 01:23:22,840 Speaker 1: tap update all and that will update all your Samsung apps. 1734 01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:24,679 Speaker 1: So again we're just getting your phone to a place 1735 01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:26,680 Speaker 1: where everything is up to date and good to go. 1736 01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:30,439 Speaker 1: Then I would restart your phone. That's fine. The other 1737 01:23:30,479 --> 01:23:33,519 Speaker 1: thing I would do on this is go into your Settings. 1738 01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:34,960 Speaker 1: I know this sounds like a lot, but it's stuff 1739 01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:36,040 Speaker 1: I do all the time, and I'll put it in 1740 01:23:36,120 --> 01:23:37,880 Speaker 1: the notes, so it's not a big deal. Then you 1741 01:23:37,920 --> 01:23:40,280 Speaker 1: want to go into your Security and Privacy and then 1742 01:23:40,280 --> 01:23:43,240 Speaker 1: it says updates and there's a Google Play system update. 1743 01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:45,680 Speaker 1: I want you to check for an update there and 1744 01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:47,000 Speaker 1: install that my phone. 1745 01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:49,200 Speaker 2: I just did it. It says your device needs to restart 1746 01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:50,639 Speaker 2: to complete the update. Do that. 1747 01:23:51,520 --> 01:23:54,360 Speaker 1: Then I want you to go into Chrome. Tap the 1748 01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:57,679 Speaker 1: menu bar the three dots in the up right hand corner, 1749 01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:00,960 Speaker 1: and where it says delete browsing data. I would like 1750 01:24:01,040 --> 01:24:04,960 Speaker 1: you to delete probably all of your data and that 1751 01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:08,160 Speaker 1: has done okay. That you've done okay, and that still 1752 01:24:08,160 --> 01:24:10,760 Speaker 1: didn't fix it, No, And did you do that for 1753 01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:12,519 Speaker 1: all time or did you do it for just like 1754 01:24:12,640 --> 01:24:13,439 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. 1755 01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:17,519 Speaker 10: I've done it many times. All the help servers say 1756 01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:21,080 Speaker 10: to do that, okay, And I want to confirm something 1757 01:24:21,080 --> 01:24:24,759 Speaker 10: with you, yeah, when you I don't have any apps 1758 01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:29,840 Speaker 10: that I go into to you right other than like okay, 1759 01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:32,840 Speaker 10: Chrome and Google. But I'm not signed into anything. 1760 01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:35,760 Speaker 1: Oh you're not signed into even on an Android phone. 1761 01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:39,400 Speaker 1: You didn't sign in? Interesting, okay, Well, so I don't use. 1762 01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:45,800 Speaker 10: Any services, only Chrome, Google, incognito. I used only search, 1763 01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:47,080 Speaker 10: very very basic. 1764 01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:48,639 Speaker 2: And are you when you're okay? 1765 01:24:48,720 --> 01:24:51,280 Speaker 1: The only other thing since you've cleared that activity, It 1766 01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:54,200 Speaker 1: could be that clearing the activity on Chrome could be 1767 01:24:54,240 --> 01:24:56,800 Speaker 1: making these websites take longer to load. That could be 1768 01:24:56,840 --> 01:24:59,640 Speaker 1: the other thing that's happening here, So maybe put the 1769 01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:02,080 Speaker 1: brakes on that. Try to load these websites one more time. 1770 01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:04,120 Speaker 1: You can always pull down on a website when you're 1771 01:25:04,160 --> 01:25:06,880 Speaker 1: in Chrome to reload the page. So try that and 1772 01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:10,120 Speaker 1: see if things pop up. Eighty eight rich one oh 1773 01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:14,040 Speaker 1: one eighty eight seven four to two four one zero one. 1774 01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:17,680 Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich On Tech. Let's get right to 1775 01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:20,400 Speaker 1: uh Nate in Florida. 1776 01:25:21,320 --> 01:25:21,559 Speaker 5: Nate. 1777 01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:22,559 Speaker 2: You're on with rich. 1778 01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:24,320 Speaker 5: Ty. 1779 01:25:25,080 --> 01:25:29,000 Speaker 12: I want to ask, what do you think of the 1780 01:25:29,120 --> 01:25:31,400 Speaker 12: new Nintendo Switch two? 1781 01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:33,040 Speaker 2: Oh, good question. 1782 01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:36,320 Speaker 1: Uh well, I think it's great, but I mean there 1783 01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:39,080 Speaker 1: are some caveats to that, so it really depends on 1784 01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:43,400 Speaker 1: whether you need to upgrade or not. So so I'll 1785 01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:45,680 Speaker 1: just give you kind of my quick review. But you know, 1786 01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:47,840 Speaker 1: this thing is selling very very well. 1787 01:25:48,960 --> 01:25:49,360 Speaker 2: It was. 1788 01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:52,080 Speaker 1: It's it's available pretty much. I think you can get 1789 01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:55,360 Speaker 1: it at this point, like pretty widely. But it builds 1790 01:25:55,400 --> 01:25:58,920 Speaker 1: on I think what made the original popular, which is portability, flexibility. 1791 01:25:58,960 --> 01:26:00,920 Speaker 1: It's got a lot of games you can already play, 1792 01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:05,639 Speaker 1: including some new ones. The screen is bigger, the unit 1793 01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:10,080 Speaker 1: overall is much bigger, still pretty easy to hold. I 1794 01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:13,120 Speaker 1: think the biggest improvement is really the way the controllers attach. 1795 01:26:13,880 --> 01:26:18,520 Speaker 1: They're now attaching magnetically instead of kind of this slide mechanism, 1796 01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:20,800 Speaker 1: and the old way you can actually slide things in 1797 01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:23,320 Speaker 1: wrong and it was a pain to detach it. Now 1798 01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:26,280 Speaker 1: you can't slide things in wrong. It's much easier, much simpler. 1799 01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:28,680 Speaker 1: The DOC, I think is better. I had a lot 1800 01:26:28,720 --> 01:26:30,840 Speaker 1: of problems with the old DOC. This one seems to 1801 01:26:30,880 --> 01:26:34,640 Speaker 1: be better performing. It also lets you play on your 1802 01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:37,479 Speaker 1: TV and up to four K. The device itself is 1803 01:26:37,479 --> 01:26:40,680 Speaker 1: sort of HD on the go. You can even use 1804 01:26:40,720 --> 01:26:43,120 Speaker 1: the controllers as a mouse if you want so certain 1805 01:26:43,160 --> 01:26:46,200 Speaker 1: games take advantage of that. And then just overall everything 1806 01:26:46,240 --> 01:26:49,600 Speaker 1: has kind of improved. Better graphics, better sound, better haptics, 1807 01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:53,360 Speaker 1: the software is faster. Digital game sharing I think, is 1808 01:26:53,479 --> 01:26:56,000 Speaker 1: much easier at this point, and plus you've got this 1809 01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:58,840 Speaker 1: new game chat feature which lets you voice chat while 1810 01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:02,000 Speaker 1: you're playing. Plus there's even support for cameras. 1811 01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:03,599 Speaker 2: So I think the. 1812 01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:07,000 Speaker 1: Biggest downside that we've identified is the battery life, So 1813 01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:09,200 Speaker 1: depending on how much you play, you might not get 1814 01:27:09,240 --> 01:27:11,280 Speaker 1: as much battery life as you did before. 1815 01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:12,880 Speaker 2: And the price. 1816 01:27:12,960 --> 01:27:15,639 Speaker 1: It's expensive four hundred and fifty dollars or five hundred 1817 01:27:15,640 --> 01:27:18,160 Speaker 1: dollars bundled with the new Mario Kart game. And I 1818 01:27:18,160 --> 01:27:20,120 Speaker 1: think that's the other thing that was a little bit 1819 01:27:20,200 --> 01:27:23,200 Speaker 1: lacking was like a title that like a must have title. 1820 01:27:23,680 --> 01:27:27,960 Speaker 1: Donkey Kong Bonanza has come out, which is it's really fun. 1821 01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:30,520 Speaker 1: I mean I've played it. It's like you're just bashing 1822 01:27:30,880 --> 01:27:33,160 Speaker 1: rocks the whole time. I mean it's like you could 1823 01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:36,439 Speaker 1: play that thing forever. But people are really really enjoying 1824 01:27:36,439 --> 01:27:39,840 Speaker 1: that game. So the bottom line is do you need 1825 01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:42,360 Speaker 1: a new console? Like is your old console doing what 1826 01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:45,720 Speaker 1: you need? If so, then you probably don't need to upgrade. 1827 01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:47,840 Speaker 1: But if you've been thinking about, you know, the way 1828 01:27:47,880 --> 01:27:50,920 Speaker 1: the controllers attach, maybe the screen is a little too 1829 01:27:50,960 --> 01:27:54,280 Speaker 1: small for you, the doc isn't working properly. You want 1830 01:27:54,280 --> 01:27:57,120 Speaker 1: things to be faster, better graphics than I think, or 1831 01:27:57,160 --> 01:27:58,960 Speaker 1: you want that game chat feature. I think that the 1832 01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:02,519 Speaker 1: switch to a really nice upgrade. This is obviously going 1833 01:28:02,560 --> 01:28:05,640 Speaker 1: to be a very very hot product for the holidays. 1834 01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:09,320 Speaker 1: I think it's gotten nothing but good reviews. But again 1835 01:28:09,760 --> 01:28:11,760 Speaker 1: it's one of those things where do you need it 1836 01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:14,200 Speaker 1: do you not need it? The people that need it 1837 01:28:14,320 --> 01:28:16,160 Speaker 1: or want it, they already know that and they've already 1838 01:28:16,160 --> 01:28:18,160 Speaker 1: gotten it. It's the rest of the folks that are 1839 01:28:18,200 --> 01:28:20,599 Speaker 1: sort of like, Okay, wait, what advantage do I get 1840 01:28:20,640 --> 01:28:24,400 Speaker 1: from this? And hopefully those that mini review I just 1841 01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:26,880 Speaker 1: gave you helps you determine that. Thanks for the call, 1842 01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:28,160 Speaker 1: Nate and Florida appreciate it. 1843 01:28:28,200 --> 01:28:28,360 Speaker 6: Well. 1844 01:28:28,360 --> 01:28:29,360 Speaker 2: I did something this week. 1845 01:28:29,479 --> 01:28:33,120 Speaker 1: I visited the Tesla Diner, which opened up while I 1846 01:28:33,200 --> 01:28:35,040 Speaker 1: was in Hawaii, so I had to make my way 1847 01:28:35,040 --> 01:28:36,960 Speaker 1: over there to check it out. It is in Hollywood. 1848 01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:39,519 Speaker 1: This used to be a little bit of trivia for 1849 01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:42,680 Speaker 1: you if you're in the LA area. This used to 1850 01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:45,200 Speaker 1: be a Shaky's Pizza and I used to live in 1851 01:28:45,200 --> 01:28:46,760 Speaker 1: this area, so I knew it pretty well. I mean 1852 01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:49,040 Speaker 1: it's very congested in that area for sure. It's like 1853 01:28:49,280 --> 01:28:52,560 Speaker 1: it's kind of like the right at where West Hollywood 1854 01:28:52,600 --> 01:28:57,200 Speaker 1: starts and Hollywood ends. But this is a futuristic, sort 1855 01:28:57,200 --> 01:29:01,240 Speaker 1: of retro looking diner Open twenty four. You can order 1856 01:29:01,280 --> 01:29:03,559 Speaker 1: food right from your car. So you pull in. There's 1857 01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:07,320 Speaker 1: eighty super charging stations. If you have a Tesla or 1858 01:29:07,360 --> 01:29:09,880 Speaker 1: I believe another EV to charge in there, you can 1859 01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:12,320 Speaker 1: pull into the parking lot. If you don't, you can't 1860 01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:14,759 Speaker 1: park there, So that's one thing to know if you're visiting. 1861 01:29:15,040 --> 01:29:17,799 Speaker 1: But it's got eighty supercharging stations, which is the largest 1862 01:29:17,920 --> 01:29:21,439 Speaker 1: urban supercharging station I guess in the US right now. 1863 01:29:21,960 --> 01:29:23,120 Speaker 2: And when you pull in, you. 1864 01:29:23,040 --> 01:29:25,680 Speaker 1: Can charge, and then you can order food right from 1865 01:29:25,680 --> 01:29:27,960 Speaker 1: your dashboard, which I thought was pretty cool. 1866 01:29:28,280 --> 01:29:28,840 Speaker 2: It is neat. 1867 01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:30,759 Speaker 1: It shows you like a little burger on your screen. 1868 01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:33,839 Speaker 1: You tap that, the menu pops up. You've got burgers 1869 01:29:33,880 --> 01:29:36,880 Speaker 1: all the typical diner, food, burgers, fries, tune the melt. 1870 01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:40,960 Speaker 1: I got my souvenir cup which was seven extra dollars 1871 01:29:41,439 --> 01:29:45,520 Speaker 1: and you can feel it's metal and it says Tesla Diner, Hollywood, 1872 01:29:45,560 --> 01:29:50,160 Speaker 1: California on it. It all feels very disney esque, very 1873 01:29:50,240 --> 01:29:52,960 Speaker 1: like amusement parky like. Even the way it looks on 1874 01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:55,840 Speaker 1: this thing, it's like it's retro futuristic. I went during 1875 01:29:55,880 --> 01:29:57,640 Speaker 1: the day, not at night when it's all lit up, 1876 01:29:57,720 --> 01:30:00,519 Speaker 1: so I got to go back at and see what 1877 01:30:00,600 --> 01:30:02,920 Speaker 1: this place looks like. But anyway, they bring the food 1878 01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:05,960 Speaker 1: right out to your car, and it's a person, not 1879 01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:08,200 Speaker 1: a robot that brings it out. But there's also two 1880 01:30:08,280 --> 01:30:10,320 Speaker 1: giant outdoor screen so it's kind of like a little 1881 01:30:10,360 --> 01:30:12,800 Speaker 1: drive in movie theater as well. You can watch the 1882 01:30:12,800 --> 01:30:15,200 Speaker 1: shows on the screen outside or you can watch them 1883 01:30:15,360 --> 01:30:18,280 Speaker 1: on your car screen and the audio is synced to 1884 01:30:18,360 --> 01:30:20,200 Speaker 1: your car screen as well. I did not get to 1885 01:30:20,240 --> 01:30:23,799 Speaker 1: test out that feature, but I did play the movie inside. 1886 01:30:23,880 --> 01:30:26,760 Speaker 1: They were playing like, what was it Twilight Zone while 1887 01:30:26,800 --> 01:30:29,120 Speaker 1: I was there. So the diner is open from six 1888 01:30:29,160 --> 01:30:33,040 Speaker 1: am to midnight for walkins there are you know, there's 1889 01:30:33,040 --> 01:30:35,280 Speaker 1: a way to order food inside. There was a line 1890 01:30:35,360 --> 01:30:39,040 Speaker 1: even at ten thirty am. Inside it's all lively. There's 1891 01:30:39,040 --> 01:30:40,840 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of lookie lose people just want to 1892 01:30:40,840 --> 01:30:42,920 Speaker 1: see what all this is all about. And if you 1893 01:30:42,960 --> 01:30:45,439 Speaker 1: go upstairs, kind of cool like space walk to get 1894 01:30:45,479 --> 01:30:49,080 Speaker 1: upstairs feels very spacey. They call that the skyport and 1895 01:30:49,080 --> 01:30:51,799 Speaker 1: this is like an outside area three hundred and sixty degrees. 1896 01:30:52,080 --> 01:30:54,320 Speaker 1: You can walk around. There's merch up there. People were 1897 01:30:54,320 --> 01:30:57,519 Speaker 1: excited to get merchandise. Apparently there's a robot up there 1898 01:30:57,520 --> 01:30:59,760 Speaker 1: that serves popcorn and the optimist I did not see 1899 01:30:59,800 --> 01:31:03,760 Speaker 1: that again. And then the other thing is if you 1900 01:31:03,840 --> 01:31:05,640 Speaker 1: have a Tesla on you're charging here, you might be 1901 01:31:05,680 --> 01:31:06,920 Speaker 1: wondering what about idling fees? 1902 01:31:06,920 --> 01:31:08,120 Speaker 2: Becau I'm gonna be hanging out here. 1903 01:31:08,400 --> 01:31:11,120 Speaker 1: So they do have like a grace period, unlike other 1904 01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:14,680 Speaker 1: charging stations which might charge you immediately for leaving your 1905 01:31:14,680 --> 01:31:17,439 Speaker 1: car there. This you get like thirty minutes. So best 1906 01:31:17,479 --> 01:31:20,920 Speaker 1: times to visit Weekdays, weekends are going to be super busy. 1907 01:31:21,280 --> 01:31:24,400 Speaker 2: The burger, by the way, I loved it. It was delicious. 1908 01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:27,640 Speaker 1: So anyway, Tesla Diner in Hollywood definitely going to be 1909 01:31:27,640 --> 01:31:30,240 Speaker 1: attraction people visit when they come to La coming up next, 1910 01:31:30,240 --> 01:31:32,599 Speaker 1: we're going to talk about how AI is impacting long 1911 01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:36,400 Speaker 1: term care.

Number one, 1916 01:31:49,920 --> 01:31:54,200 Speaker 1: smart glasses apparently doing really, really well. Sales of ray 1917 01:31:54,240 --> 01:31:57,280 Speaker 1: Band Meta AI glasses tripled in the first half of 1918 01:31:57,320 --> 01:32:01,719 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. People are goblin these things up like wild, 1919 01:32:01,880 --> 01:32:04,679 Speaker 1: so they came out the new version, the Oakley Meta 1920 01:32:04,720 --> 01:32:09,240 Speaker 1: AI glasses, which have better video, better speakers, better battery life. 1921 01:32:09,280 --> 01:32:13,720 Speaker 1: Obviously those are more for the extreme sports folks, but yeah, 1922 01:32:13,720 --> 01:32:16,640 Speaker 1: apparently Meta has a hit on their hand there. And 1923 01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:19,559 Speaker 1: then the cash app is getting a new feature called pools, 1924 01:32:20,040 --> 01:32:22,600 Speaker 1: So if you need to collect money for something, you 1925 01:32:22,640 --> 01:32:26,400 Speaker 1: can easily collect a pooled amount of money from friends 1926 01:32:26,400 --> 01:32:30,479 Speaker 1: for group events, gifts, whatever you want, vacations, parties, splitting 1927 01:32:30,520 --> 01:32:33,120 Speaker 1: a bill so you can create the pool on the 1928 01:32:33,160 --> 01:32:35,320 Speaker 1: cash app. And then the best part is they don't 1929 01:32:35,320 --> 01:32:37,519 Speaker 1: have to be signed up. You can just send a link, 1930 01:32:37,560 --> 01:32:39,519 Speaker 1: text a link to friends and they can pay with 1931 01:32:39,600 --> 01:32:42,200 Speaker 1: like Apple Pay or Google Pay, which is really great 1932 01:32:42,200 --> 01:32:44,519 Speaker 1: because you know, collecting money from people is not easy. 1933 01:32:45,040 --> 01:32:47,400 Speaker 1: And then finally, if you have Spectrum, you know how 1934 01:32:47,439 --> 01:32:51,000 Speaker 1: they've been including all those apps like Hulu and HBO 1935 01:32:51,160 --> 01:32:54,920 Speaker 1: Max and all these different things. Well maybe not Hulu, 1936 01:32:54,960 --> 01:32:58,040 Speaker 1: but you know they have a Disney plus HBO Max, Peacock.

But this is 1950 01:33:39,400 --> 01:33:43,000 Speaker 1: an important topic for folks because long term care is 1951 01:33:43,040 --> 01:33:45,120 Speaker 1: something that seems to sneak up on people, but in 1952 01:33:45,160 --> 01:33:49,760 Speaker 1: reality it's something that could be planned for right absolutely. 1953 01:33:50,680 --> 01:33:52,120 Speaker 11: It's a pleasure to be on this show. 1954 01:33:52,240 --> 01:33:55,360 Speaker 15: And you're right that on average in the US, every 1955 01:33:55,400 --> 01:33:57,800 Speaker 15: single household is going to go through a serious form 1956 01:33:57,800 --> 01:33:59,400 Speaker 15: of long term care events. 1957 01:33:59,720 --> 01:34:00,760 Speaker 11: So have it to dive in. 1958 01:34:01,080 --> 01:34:02,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, what I mean? So you have a personal story 1959 01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:04,800 Speaker 2: with this, You why you created this? Right? 1960 01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:06,280 Speaker 11: I do? 1961 01:34:06,800 --> 01:34:06,960 Speaker 3: So. 1962 01:34:07,120 --> 01:34:10,680 Speaker 15: I founded water Lily a couple of years after we 1963 01:34:10,800 --> 01:34:12,519 Speaker 15: navigated a personal long term care. 1964 01:34:12,400 --> 01:34:13,240 Speaker 11: Event in my family. 1965 01:34:13,320 --> 01:34:15,960 Speaker 15: My aunt, she's a really integral part of our first 1966 01:34:15,960 --> 01:34:18,519 Speaker 15: generation immigrant family. She had to raise me growing up, 1967 01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:21,519 Speaker 15: and she was diagnosed with terminal stage colon cancer, and 1968 01:34:21,560 --> 01:34:24,800 Speaker 15: what came with that post chemotherapy was the fact that 1969 01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:27,280 Speaker 15: she was so frail we had to navigate her daily 1970 01:34:27,720 --> 01:34:29,840 Speaker 15: long term care needs. A lot of us know that 1971 01:34:30,080 --> 01:34:33,080 Speaker 15: as needs that our grandparents have or our aging parents have, 1972 01:34:33,560 --> 01:34:37,560 Speaker 15: such as bathing, dressing, getting in and out of bed, twiddling, incontinence, 1973 01:34:37,680 --> 01:34:38,120 Speaker 15: et cetera. 1974 01:34:38,240 --> 01:34:41,160 Speaker 11: So just daily activities that we do. 1975 01:34:41,280 --> 01:34:44,240 Speaker 15: All the time that we take for granted because we're 1976 01:34:44,400 --> 01:34:46,160 Speaker 15: strong and independent. 1977 01:34:46,760 --> 01:34:49,040 Speaker 1: And so what is long term care exactly? 1978 01:34:49,120 --> 01:34:49,320 Speaker 6: Is this? 1979 01:34:49,479 --> 01:34:51,559 Speaker 1: Is it always in a facility or can you have 1980 01:34:51,600 --> 01:34:53,840 Speaker 1: it at home? Like, explain that aspect of it. 1981 01:34:54,360 --> 01:34:54,599 Speaker 12: Yeah? 1982 01:34:54,640 --> 01:34:55,639 Speaker 11: I love that question. 1983 01:34:56,200 --> 01:34:58,680 Speaker 15: Starting from the basics, which is a lot of folks assume, oh, 1984 01:34:58,720 --> 01:35:02,599 Speaker 15: long term care is a type of facility or type 1985 01:35:02,600 --> 01:35:05,800 Speaker 15: of home care, when in truth, long term care basically 1986 01:35:05,960 --> 01:35:09,320 Speaker 15: is needs that you're going to have as a result 1987 01:35:09,360 --> 01:35:12,080 Speaker 15: of not no longer being able to be independent. Independent 1988 01:35:12,240 --> 01:35:15,720 Speaker 15: usually comes from getting older, becoming more frail. So it's 1989 01:35:15,760 --> 01:35:18,440 Speaker 15: those activities I just mentioned when we think of our grandparents, 1990 01:35:18,439 --> 01:35:21,639 Speaker 15: our parents when they start to struggle with cooking, getting 1991 01:35:21,840 --> 01:35:24,760 Speaker 15: like being able to walk around the home, like really 1992 01:35:24,760 --> 01:35:28,840 Speaker 15: easily getting in and out of on and off chairs 1993 01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:31,160 Speaker 15: or beds, being able to take a shower by themselves, 1994 01:35:31,720 --> 01:35:34,559 Speaker 15: realizing well, I might need some handles or assistants around 1995 01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:34,960 Speaker 15: the home. 1996 01:35:35,439 --> 01:35:38,839 Speaker 11: That is, those are long term care needs. Essentially. 1997 01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:44,320 Speaker 15: The space usually calls them activities of daily living, and 1998 01:35:44,400 --> 01:35:47,080 Speaker 15: when you have those needs, you could get help with them, 1999 01:35:47,160 --> 01:35:50,320 Speaker 15: usually from family members or some professionals that could come 2000 01:35:50,360 --> 01:35:53,040 Speaker 15: to the home to actually physically help you, or if 2001 01:35:53,040 --> 01:35:56,439 Speaker 15: you need more consistent care. That's where folks start to 2002 01:35:56,479 --> 01:35:58,599 Speaker 15: realize it might be more affordable to go into certain 2003 01:35:58,600 --> 01:36:02,200 Speaker 15: types of retirement can unities or facilities. 2004 01:36:01,600 --> 01:36:03,400 Speaker 2: And this stuff. None of this is cheap. 2005 01:36:04,760 --> 01:36:09,200 Speaker 11: None of this is cheap. You're right where at the home? 2006 01:36:09,320 --> 01:36:11,719 Speaker 15: On average, I see the cost is like anywhere between 2007 01:36:11,760 --> 01:36:14,800 Speaker 15: twenty five dollars to thirty dollars an hour for help. 2008 01:36:14,920 --> 01:36:17,840 Speaker 15: And usually when you start to have those needs, like 2009 01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:20,040 Speaker 15: when we go visit our parents when they need help, 2010 01:36:20,080 --> 01:36:23,000 Speaker 15: it's several hours a day at the home, and that 2011 01:36:23,040 --> 01:36:26,360 Speaker 15: could grow into easily between like forty to eighty hours 2012 01:36:26,400 --> 01:36:29,400 Speaker 15: per week and usually that's facility based care and that 2013 01:36:29,760 --> 01:36:33,360 Speaker 15: can go north of ten thousand dollars easily a month. 2014 01:36:33,840 --> 01:36:36,960 Speaker 1: Wow, So what what does your platform do? Like, what 2015 01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:39,400 Speaker 1: does it help do? And how is AI involved in this. 2016 01:36:41,800 --> 01:36:42,920 Speaker 11: Fantastic question? 2017 01:36:43,120 --> 01:36:46,839 Speaker 15: So what we do that has never been done before 2018 01:36:47,040 --> 01:36:51,479 Speaker 15: is we use AI to actually predict when you're going 2019 01:36:51,560 --> 01:36:54,280 Speaker 15: to have long term care needs, your likelihood, how long 2020 01:36:54,320 --> 01:36:56,160 Speaker 15: it's going to be for, and we focus on the 2021 01:36:56,200 --> 01:36:58,880 Speaker 15: needs themselves. We actually focus on like how many hours 2022 01:36:58,880 --> 01:37:00,880 Speaker 15: of help you're going to usually start off with, let's 2023 01:37:00,920 --> 01:37:03,120 Speaker 15: just say if it's around age eighty five, and how 2024 01:37:03,160 --> 01:37:05,479 Speaker 15: that might be for maybe four point three years. We 2025 01:37:05,560 --> 01:37:08,160 Speaker 15: predict this and how on the tail end you might 2026 01:37:08,240 --> 01:37:10,680 Speaker 15: end up with needing help with sixty hours of care 2027 01:37:10,720 --> 01:37:13,120 Speaker 15: per week. From there, we help you build out a 2028 01:37:13,280 --> 01:37:16,599 Speaker 15: sustainable care plan based on your care preferences and then 2029 01:37:16,680 --> 01:37:19,479 Speaker 15: also tell you your preference has an associated cost, so 2030 01:37:19,479 --> 01:37:21,240 Speaker 15: how do we solve for that cost as well in 2031 01:37:21,280 --> 01:37:21,759 Speaker 15: the future. 2032 01:37:22,120 --> 01:37:24,200 Speaker 1: So I'm looking at the website and it's just this 2033 01:37:24,200 --> 01:37:26,920 Speaker 1: this falls under the idea of people like they know 2034 01:37:27,040 --> 01:37:28,880 Speaker 1: this is going to happen, they know they might need this, 2035 01:37:28,960 --> 01:37:30,799 Speaker 1: but they don't want to know the answer in advance 2036 01:37:30,840 --> 01:37:32,360 Speaker 1: because they're like, oh, I'll just have to deal with 2037 01:37:32,400 --> 01:37:34,479 Speaker 1: it when I have to. But that actually makes it 2038 01:37:34,520 --> 01:37:37,640 Speaker 1: more stressful, and it probably is better to know this 2039 01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:41,400 Speaker 1: information up front to help you plan for it. And 2040 01:37:41,560 --> 01:37:43,360 Speaker 1: especially with the use of AI, I mean, it looks 2041 01:37:43,400 --> 01:37:46,120 Speaker 1: really slick where it's telling you exactly how much you 2042 01:37:46,200 --> 01:37:49,200 Speaker 1: might need for whether it's home living or home you know, 2043 01:37:49,360 --> 01:37:53,120 Speaker 1: long term versus a in a facility. That's really interesting 2044 01:37:53,160 --> 01:37:53,519 Speaker 1: as well. 2045 01:37:54,400 --> 01:37:57,920 Speaker 15: Yeah, I you know, I noticed a lot of the 2046 01:37:57,960 --> 01:37:59,880 Speaker 15: tools that are built in a long term care space. 2047 01:38:00,120 --> 01:38:02,360 Speaker 15: Folks that are in this space, like they're either coming 2048 01:38:02,400 --> 01:38:05,280 Speaker 15: from the medical profession or they're coming from insurance, and. 2049 01:38:05,240 --> 01:38:06,439 Speaker 11: Then you build from that lens. 2050 01:38:06,520 --> 01:38:08,760 Speaker 15: And that was like the fundamental issues just families just 2051 01:38:08,840 --> 01:38:11,800 Speaker 15: didn't understand what long term care was. And one of 2052 01:38:11,880 --> 01:38:14,640 Speaker 15: my favorite influences for building out this system so that 2053 01:38:14,720 --> 01:38:19,760 Speaker 15: was consumer friendly, was like beautiful systems like Instagram or 2054 01:38:19,840 --> 01:38:22,880 Speaker 15: Airbnb or whatever else where. I just wanted it feel 2055 01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:28,240 Speaker 15: so intuitive and very and very simple to navigate. So 2056 01:38:28,640 --> 01:38:31,320 Speaker 15: that was of course one of our design inspirations. But 2057 01:38:31,320 --> 01:38:33,960 Speaker 15: more importantly for me, I spoke to hundreds of families 2058 01:38:33,960 --> 01:38:36,000 Speaker 15: and I realized like they just didn't understand what long 2059 01:38:36,040 --> 01:38:39,960 Speaker 15: term care was, and so to make it concrete to 2060 01:38:40,160 --> 01:38:43,479 Speaker 15: them and to have them lean in, I wanted to 2061 01:38:43,520 --> 01:38:45,559 Speaker 15: tell them their own stories. So that's why we use 2062 01:38:45,600 --> 01:38:48,120 Speaker 15: over half a billion data points on families that we've 2063 01:38:48,160 --> 01:38:50,400 Speaker 15: been falling for several decades, and we have a three 2064 01:38:50,400 --> 01:38:54,719 Speaker 15: minute intic survey where we asked social demographic information, medical information, 2065 01:38:54,920 --> 01:38:57,760 Speaker 15: and financial information so we could look at the look 2066 01:38:57,920 --> 01:39:00,760 Speaker 15: like families that already navigated long term care, and we 2067 01:39:00,920 --> 01:39:03,599 Speaker 15: tell someone like you rich, like hey, based on someone 2068 01:39:03,640 --> 01:39:06,599 Speaker 15: that looks like you and your household, this is what 2069 01:39:06,640 --> 01:39:09,719 Speaker 15: your likelihood is, your age, how. 2070 01:39:09,640 --> 01:39:10,759 Speaker 11: Long, et cetera. 2071 01:39:11,920 --> 01:39:14,040 Speaker 2: Is this for someone to do themselves? 2072 01:39:14,160 --> 01:39:14,280 Speaker 6: Like? 2073 01:39:14,320 --> 01:39:15,960 Speaker 1: Do you like I look on the website and it's 2074 01:39:15,960 --> 01:39:18,160 Speaker 1: got like stuff for advisors? Is this something you can 2075 01:39:18,200 --> 01:39:19,680 Speaker 1: go on and do yourself? Or do you have to 2076 01:39:19,720 --> 01:39:21,960 Speaker 1: go through a third party, like explain that aspect of it. 2077 01:39:22,520 --> 01:39:22,760 Speaker 11: Yeah. 2078 01:39:22,800 --> 01:39:27,320 Speaker 15: Absolutely So, there's already hundreds of financial professionals and care 2079 01:39:27,360 --> 01:39:30,280 Speaker 15: professionals that use our platform as a way to guide 2080 01:39:30,280 --> 01:39:32,240 Speaker 15: their clients through what is long term care looks like? 2081 01:39:32,280 --> 01:39:34,639 Speaker 15: What's the cost? How do we solve that cost? However, 2082 01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:37,959 Speaker 15: if you join onto our waitlist right now, I personally 2083 01:39:38,000 --> 01:39:41,080 Speaker 15: love to kind of eat my own cooking, and I 2084 01:39:41,120 --> 01:39:45,160 Speaker 15: am able to talk to consumers myself. So I, on average, 2085 01:39:45,200 --> 01:39:48,599 Speaker 15: one out of every time consumers that say I'm open 2086 01:39:48,640 --> 01:39:51,599 Speaker 15: to getting connected to a professional, I just reach out 2087 01:39:51,600 --> 01:39:54,400 Speaker 15: to them without any incentive or anything else other than 2088 01:39:54,439 --> 01:39:56,519 Speaker 15: just helping them build out that care plan, and the 2089 01:39:56,560 --> 01:39:59,280 Speaker 15: other nine out of ten I actually direct them appropriately 2090 01:39:59,320 --> 01:40:02,759 Speaker 15: to our network of advisors that already use our system 2091 01:40:02,800 --> 01:40:03,880 Speaker 15: and our expert on it. 2092 01:40:04,360 --> 01:40:07,280 Speaker 1: And what's the So the endgame is that you get 2093 01:40:07,320 --> 01:40:09,679 Speaker 1: you know, the person that's using this gets the information 2094 01:40:09,760 --> 01:40:11,879 Speaker 1: about what they might be up against in the future, 2095 01:40:12,640 --> 01:40:15,519 Speaker 1: and then they can get the right Can you refer 2096 01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:18,200 Speaker 1: them to people that actually are the long term care 2097 01:40:18,240 --> 01:40:20,800 Speaker 1: facilities and things that they need or what is that 2098 01:40:20,840 --> 01:40:21,280 Speaker 1: part of this? 2099 01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:23,240 Speaker 11: Yeah, that's a really great question. 2100 01:40:23,280 --> 01:40:26,720 Speaker 15: So we first and foremost focused on education, which is like, 2101 01:40:26,760 --> 01:40:28,720 Speaker 15: what are your needs going to look like? We tell 2102 01:40:28,760 --> 01:40:31,120 Speaker 15: you the associate costs, so we even hyper personalized to 2103 01:40:31,160 --> 01:40:33,679 Speaker 15: your zip code of where you currently live or where 2104 01:40:33,680 --> 01:40:36,679 Speaker 15: you're going to retire, and we map those your needs 2105 01:40:36,720 --> 01:40:40,200 Speaker 15: to that care resource and from there, when we figure 2106 01:40:40,200 --> 01:40:42,920 Speaker 15: out what the cost is, we allow you to input. 2107 01:40:42,640 --> 01:40:43,800 Speaker 11: Things that you don't have to buy. 2108 01:40:43,880 --> 01:40:45,439 Speaker 15: You know, if you want a self fund, if you 2109 01:40:45,479 --> 01:40:47,760 Speaker 15: want to consider insurance, if an insurance agent's trying to 2110 01:40:47,760 --> 01:40:51,400 Speaker 15: sell you insurance, you can actually upload that policy into 2111 01:40:51,439 --> 01:40:54,680 Speaker 15: the system and we actually analyze that policy dynamic to 2112 01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:57,720 Speaker 15: your predicted scenario, so we could actually see is it 2113 01:40:57,760 --> 01:41:00,200 Speaker 15: going to be a better ROI than self funding and 2114 01:41:00,320 --> 01:41:03,639 Speaker 15: just help you make the decision yourself because the logic 2115 01:41:03,720 --> 01:41:04,240 Speaker 15: is so clear. 2116 01:41:04,600 --> 01:41:04,880 Speaker 2: Wow. 2117 01:41:04,960 --> 01:41:09,479 Speaker 1: Okay, So the website is Waterlily dot com and Lily. 2118 01:41:09,640 --> 01:41:12,080 Speaker 1: What's your background? Have you done a startup before like 2119 01:41:12,120 --> 01:41:13,479 Speaker 1: this or is this your first? 2120 01:41:14,720 --> 01:41:17,400 Speaker 15: This is the first one that I founded, But prior 2121 01:41:17,479 --> 01:41:20,200 Speaker 15: to this, I was actually on an aerospace trajectory before 2122 01:41:20,240 --> 01:41:22,479 Speaker 15: I went into the healthcare industry. So from twelve to 2123 01:41:22,520 --> 01:41:25,960 Speaker 15: sixteen was working at NASA. But when I was sixteen, 2124 01:41:25,960 --> 01:41:27,840 Speaker 15: we navigated that long term care event. I went to 2125 01:41:27,880 --> 01:41:30,400 Speaker 15: college early at fourteen for it. So then I pivoted 2126 01:41:30,400 --> 01:41:34,519 Speaker 15: my career into healthcare, developed a background in genetics and AI, 2127 01:41:34,680 --> 01:41:36,880 Speaker 15: and went to Berkeley, and then I led product and 2128 01:41:36,920 --> 01:41:40,640 Speaker 15: engineering at multiple early stage startups in the healthcare industry 2129 01:41:40,880 --> 01:41:43,760 Speaker 15: before founding water Lily, because I thought, you know, being 2130 01:41:43,800 --> 01:41:46,559 Speaker 15: so young, someone's going to solve for this problem. But 2131 01:41:46,640 --> 01:41:49,200 Speaker 15: no one was building anything that was really empathetic, that 2132 01:41:49,280 --> 01:41:52,280 Speaker 15: was almost like a beautiful air ANDBB like experience for 2133 01:41:52,560 --> 01:41:54,240 Speaker 15: such a necessary topic. 2134 01:41:54,400 --> 01:41:58,599 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's really organizing kind of this disinformation into 2135 01:41:58,640 --> 01:42:01,639 Speaker 1: a way that's easily understand animal and of course AI 2136 01:42:01,720 --> 01:42:04,320 Speaker 1: is really helping with a lot of that. Do you 2137 01:42:04,360 --> 01:42:06,599 Speaker 1: just love the fact that you've got AI on your 2138 01:42:06,640 --> 01:42:07,160 Speaker 1: side with this? 2139 01:42:08,840 --> 01:42:12,760 Speaker 15: I don't always build AI into our products, but I 2140 01:42:12,840 --> 01:42:16,200 Speaker 15: love that the AI makes long term care real to 2141 01:42:16,320 --> 01:42:19,320 Speaker 15: people decades in advance, so that they could get ahead 2142 01:42:19,320 --> 01:42:21,280 Speaker 15: of that healthcare inflation, so they can get ahead of 2143 01:42:21,280 --> 01:42:24,600 Speaker 15: that really high cost by planning today. So that's what 2144 01:42:24,800 --> 01:42:27,040 Speaker 15: I love about it is that it gets people to 2145 01:42:27,120 --> 01:42:29,639 Speaker 15: lean in and it's almost like a personality quiz. People 2146 01:42:29,720 --> 01:42:32,439 Speaker 15: want to know it's a much more serious form of 2147 01:42:32,520 --> 01:42:33,360 Speaker 15: just like what kind of. 2148 01:42:33,320 --> 01:42:35,160 Speaker 11: Animal are you? Are you a panda? 2149 01:42:35,240 --> 01:42:39,040 Speaker 15: Are you align or whatever else, And it just makes 2150 01:42:39,080 --> 01:42:42,599 Speaker 15: it much more concrete than using national averages or you know, 2151 01:42:42,640 --> 01:42:44,120 Speaker 15: average of code calculators. 2152 01:42:44,400 --> 01:42:48,360 Speaker 1: All right, once again, the website is Waterlily dot com, 2153 01:42:48,880 --> 01:42:52,599 Speaker 1: Lily Vidora School. Thank you so much for joining me today, 2154 01:42:52,640 --> 01:42:55,120 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Coming up, we are going to open up 2155 01:42:55,240 --> 01:42:59,040 Speaker 1: the feedback and get into what you were emailing me 2156 01:42:59,120 --> 01:43:03,479 Speaker 1: throughout the week is rich on Tech. Welcome back to 2157 01:43:03,600 --> 01:43:09,840 Speaker 1: rich On Tech. Rich DeMuro here, what a show, had 2158 01:43:09,880 --> 01:43:12,559 Speaker 1: so much fun, answered so many questions, and now it's 2159 01:43:12,600 --> 01:43:16,840 Speaker 1: time for the feedbag, which is where read all the 2160 01:43:16,880 --> 01:43:22,840 Speaker 1: emails that you sent me. First off, last week I 2161 01:43:22,920 --> 01:43:26,439 Speaker 1: mentioned that my washer and dryer leaked when I was 2162 01:43:26,479 --> 01:43:29,360 Speaker 1: on vacation, and so what a nightmare. By the way, 2163 01:43:29,439 --> 01:43:31,439 Speaker 1: because you know, ruined our floors. We had to get 2164 01:43:31,520 --> 01:43:34,320 Speaker 1: new washer and dryer turned out. I don't know if 2165 01:43:34,320 --> 01:43:37,040 Speaker 1: I told you this, but the actual connection to the 2166 01:43:37,120 --> 01:43:38,920 Speaker 1: washer and dryer was also messed up, so I had 2167 01:43:38,920 --> 01:43:40,960 Speaker 1: to get that replaced. I mean, it was just like 2168 01:43:41,520 --> 01:43:44,280 Speaker 1: one thing after another. But I did get a whole 2169 01:43:44,280 --> 01:43:47,040 Speaker 1: bunch of emails about what to do for next time. 2170 01:43:47,760 --> 01:43:50,320 Speaker 1: Steve from Scranton writes, and Rich, I heard you talking 2171 01:43:50,320 --> 01:43:52,439 Speaker 1: about the water leak you came home too after vacation. 2172 01:43:52,520 --> 01:43:54,719 Speaker 1: I travel a lot, and I can tell you always, always, 2173 01:43:54,760 --> 01:43:57,479 Speaker 1: always turn off your main water valve before you leave. 2174 01:43:57,880 --> 01:44:00,200 Speaker 1: It's the best way to avoid exactly what happened you 2175 01:44:01,400 --> 01:44:04,840 Speaker 1: too little, too late, I guess at this point. John 2176 01:44:04,880 --> 01:44:08,120 Speaker 1: from Charlotte, North Carolina, listening on WBT says, as a 2177 01:44:08,160 --> 01:44:10,760 Speaker 1: general contractor, I have a simple solution to avoid water 2178 01:44:10,840 --> 01:44:13,639 Speaker 1: wheat leaks while you're out of town. Just turn off 2179 01:44:13,640 --> 01:44:15,720 Speaker 1: your water main valve before you leave. It's not high tech, 2180 01:44:15,760 --> 01:44:16,840 Speaker 1: but it works and it's free. 2181 01:44:17,240 --> 01:44:19,840 Speaker 2: Again. Hm, I wish I would have done that. 2182 01:44:19,920 --> 01:44:24,719 Speaker 1: Carlos from Pomona, listening on KFI says about the caller 2183 01:44:24,760 --> 01:44:27,200 Speaker 1: with a low tech water leak detector, tell her to 2184 01:44:27,200 --> 01:44:29,760 Speaker 1: get a Mini smart speaker. Most of them can pick 2185 01:44:29,800 --> 01:44:32,240 Speaker 1: up audible alarms and send a notification to your phone 2186 01:44:32,240 --> 01:44:34,800 Speaker 1: no matter where you are. The HomePod Mini does this 2187 01:44:34,840 --> 01:44:36,599 Speaker 1: really well, and even lets me know when my wife 2188 01:44:36,640 --> 01:44:40,439 Speaker 1: burns a tortillas while I'm at work. Yeah, I forgot 2189 01:44:40,439 --> 01:44:42,760 Speaker 1: about that feature. The HomePod can listen for any sort 2190 01:44:42,760 --> 01:44:45,200 Speaker 1: of alarm and relay that to your phone. That's pretty smart. 2191 01:44:45,439 --> 01:44:47,920 Speaker 1: Tim writes in, you recently talking about water issues. I've 2192 01:44:47,920 --> 01:44:50,240 Speaker 1: done a lot of research after two of my friends 2193 01:44:50,280 --> 01:44:52,680 Speaker 1: had water leaks while they were on vacation. My conclusion 2194 01:44:52,960 --> 01:44:55,040 Speaker 1: the best solution is low tech. Just turn the water 2195 01:44:55,120 --> 01:44:58,080 Speaker 1: off at the meter before you leave. Oh my gosh. 2196 01:44:58,120 --> 01:45:01,920 Speaker 1: Every single person says the same thing. You pretty much 2197 01:45:02,880 --> 01:45:04,600 Speaker 1: what an easy fix. I was just thinking, like I 2198 01:45:04,680 --> 01:45:06,640 Speaker 1: just keep doing that that motion in my head of 2199 01:45:06,680 --> 01:45:08,719 Speaker 1: my hand, just turning the knob, you know, the knob 2200 01:45:08,840 --> 01:45:12,439 Speaker 1: like off. George writes in, I listened to your recent 2201 01:45:12,520 --> 01:45:14,559 Speaker 1: podcast about the home water leak detectors. 2202 01:45:15,120 --> 01:45:15,880 Speaker 2: I wanted to share. 2203 01:45:15,920 --> 01:45:18,640 Speaker 1: I have eleven leak detectors throughout my home anywhere a 2204 01:45:18,680 --> 01:45:21,320 Speaker 1: leak might happen. If one detects water, the main line 2205 01:45:21,360 --> 01:45:24,639 Speaker 1: shuts off automatically. I use a system from Yo Link. 2206 01:45:24,720 --> 01:45:28,439 Speaker 1: It's been great. Bruce writes in, I love my Flume 2207 01:45:28,840 --> 01:45:31,640 Speaker 1: brand leak detector attaches to my water meter with a 2208 01:45:31,720 --> 01:45:34,439 Speaker 1: rubber band, no plumbing required. It can detect leaks as 2209 01:45:34,439 --> 01:45:38,000 Speaker 1: small as two tablespoons per minute. It connects via Wi 2210 01:45:38,040 --> 01:45:41,360 Speaker 1: Fi and sends alerts to my phone. Yes, I did 2211 01:45:41,479 --> 01:45:44,960 Speaker 1: go home and buy a flood and free sensor from Ring. 2212 01:45:45,479 --> 01:45:47,320 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna put this at the bottom of my 2213 01:45:48,080 --> 01:45:51,200 Speaker 1: washer dryer area and next time. Hopefully there is no 2214 01:45:51,280 --> 01:45:55,400 Speaker 1: next time, but I'll be prepared. Sarah writes in this 2215 01:45:55,439 --> 01:46:00,000 Speaker 1: is from the show before vacation. I really enjoyed Sarah 2216 01:46:00,120 --> 01:46:02,200 Speaker 1: from Las Vegas. I really enjoyed hearing Parker on your 2217 01:46:02,200 --> 01:46:04,960 Speaker 1: show a while back, and today Tanner joined too. What polite, 2218 01:46:05,080 --> 01:46:07,960 Speaker 1: articulate and knowledgeable boys you have. It's pleasure to listen 2219 01:46:07,960 --> 01:46:11,240 Speaker 1: to them. Also, your best line was that's violin stuff. 2220 01:46:11,439 --> 01:46:13,240 Speaker 1: Maybe the boys can find a way to squeeze some 2221 01:46:13,280 --> 01:46:17,680 Speaker 1: of the classics into their tech lives. Rita writes in 2222 01:46:17,720 --> 01:46:19,960 Speaker 1: your boys sound it so polish and confident on the show. 2223 01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:21,640 Speaker 1: You must be proud and enjoy every moment. And I 2224 01:46:21,640 --> 01:46:24,679 Speaker 1: think mom deserves from kudos too. I think mom deserves 2225 01:46:24,720 --> 01:46:28,800 Speaker 1: more kudos than me, for sure. Steve from Durham, North 2226 01:46:28,840 --> 01:46:31,639 Speaker 1: Carolina writes in just saying thanks for taking your kids 2227 01:46:31,680 --> 01:46:33,600 Speaker 1: to work. I have great memories of doing that with 2228 01:46:33,680 --> 01:46:36,719 Speaker 1: my dad. We'd usually do it twice every summer while 2229 01:46:36,720 --> 01:46:39,080 Speaker 1: school was out. He was a repair tech for Xerox 2230 01:46:39,120 --> 01:46:42,719 Speaker 1: back when copy machines filled an entire room. I remember thinking, Wow, 2231 01:46:42,760 --> 01:46:45,559 Speaker 1: my dad can fix this. He's also taught at Xerox 2232 01:46:45,600 --> 01:46:47,920 Speaker 1: Training School, and I even met one of his students later. 2233 01:46:48,640 --> 01:46:50,599 Speaker 1: My job was to run out to the work van, 2234 01:46:50,760 --> 01:46:53,160 Speaker 1: find the right number, find the right part number, and 2235 01:46:53,160 --> 01:46:55,120 Speaker 1: bring it in. I learned a lot about paying attention 2236 01:46:55,200 --> 01:46:57,639 Speaker 1: and how to behave in an office setting. I'm still 2237 01:46:57,680 --> 01:47:00,400 Speaker 1: learning that. We even went on base at one point, 2238 01:47:00,479 --> 01:47:03,400 Speaker 1: just a windowless brick building. Someone escorted us the whole time. 2239 01:47:03,439 --> 01:47:06,960 Speaker 1: Still have no idea what went on. Still have no 2240 01:47:07,040 --> 01:47:10,080 Speaker 1: idea what went on inside We knew better than to ask. 2241 01:47:10,439 --> 01:47:13,680 Speaker 1: Thanks Steve, and Bob writes in OMG. I'm in the 2242 01:47:13,800 --> 01:47:16,360 Speaker 1: kitchen making dinner, listening to yesterday's show, and your kid 2243 01:47:16,439 --> 01:47:17,280 Speaker 1: is totally cool. 2244 01:47:17,360 --> 01:47:19,800 Speaker 2: Sounds like you're a good dad and you raised them well. 2245 01:47:20,360 --> 01:47:20,960 Speaker 2: Thank you, Bob. 2246 01:47:21,040 --> 01:47:23,040 Speaker 1: I'm still raising them, so I can't give you the 2247 01:47:23,160 --> 01:47:25,479 Speaker 1: full you know, I can't tell you how good they 2248 01:47:25,520 --> 01:47:26,840 Speaker 1: turned out until it's done. 2249 01:47:26,920 --> 01:47:29,000 Speaker 2: I guess. Let's see here. 2250 01:47:29,080 --> 01:47:31,479 Speaker 1: Bob from Northern California rites in a week a few 2251 01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:33,320 Speaker 1: weeks ago, you read a letter from someone who backs 2252 01:47:33,360 --> 01:47:35,880 Speaker 1: up scan documents to flash drives. Well that's a good start. 2253 01:47:36,080 --> 01:47:38,200 Speaker 1: I'd argue it's not a real backup unless the copies 2254 01:47:38,240 --> 01:47:40,960 Speaker 1: are stored in different locations. If the drives are kept 2255 01:47:40,960 --> 01:47:43,960 Speaker 1: in the same place as the originals, one disaster could 2256 01:47:43,960 --> 01:47:49,160 Speaker 1: wipe out everything. Absolutely, always have things redundancy for sure. 2257 01:47:50,560 --> 01:47:54,240 Speaker 1: Karen from Cazadero, California, rights in. Just as I was 2258 01:47:54,240 --> 01:47:58,400 Speaker 1: trying to unplug a Tibetan retreat center with limited Wi Fi, 2259 01:47:58,640 --> 01:48:02,080 Speaker 1: sounds like you, Bobo got hit with a major fraud issue. 2260 01:48:02,240 --> 01:48:04,759 Speaker 1: I got a legit looking at and t text asking 2261 01:48:04,800 --> 01:48:06,599 Speaker 1: me to verify my backup number. 2262 01:48:06,680 --> 01:48:08,880 Speaker 2: A change to my backup number, so I enter the code. 2263 01:48:09,280 --> 01:48:11,400 Speaker 1: Soon after, I got an email from Hilton saying my 2264 01:48:11,479 --> 01:48:14,439 Speaker 1: password had been updated. Turns out they linked my Hilton 2265 01:48:14,439 --> 01:48:17,880 Speaker 1: to my Amazon and drained over a million points one million, 2266 01:48:17,960 --> 01:48:20,960 Speaker 1: ninety three, six hundred ninety six to be exact, across 2267 01:48:21,000 --> 01:48:25,240 Speaker 1: four transactions. Another two hundred thousand points were transferred elsewhere. 2268 01:48:25,600 --> 01:48:28,599 Speaker 1: Hilton opened two fraud cases, but it's just a big mess. 2269 01:48:28,760 --> 01:48:30,559 Speaker 1: Heads up to your listeners, if you have a high 2270 01:48:30,560 --> 01:48:34,400 Speaker 1: points balance on your travel or rewards accounts, stay vigilant. 2271 01:48:34,400 --> 01:48:38,000 Speaker 1: Hackers are targeting more than just your bank accounts, and yes, Karen, 2272 01:48:38,040 --> 01:48:39,920 Speaker 1: you even did the right thing and had two factor. 2273 01:48:40,320 --> 01:48:43,840 Speaker 1: You just got tricked into sharing that code. And let's 2274 01:48:43,840 --> 01:48:49,760 Speaker 1: see one more here, Oh, Mike. Mike writes in I'm 2275 01:48:49,760 --> 01:48:52,120 Speaker 1: not a fan of selfies, but I do enjoy photography. 2276 01:48:52,520 --> 01:48:55,000 Speaker 1: I'd suggest putting your phone camera on wide angle and 2277 01:48:55,040 --> 01:48:56,040 Speaker 1: turning on the flash. 2278 01:48:56,080 --> 01:48:56,200 Speaker 2: Oh. 2279 01:48:56,240 --> 01:48:59,439 Speaker 1: This is the sunset selfie tip from Kawhi. The subject 2280 01:48:59,439 --> 01:49:01,479 Speaker 1: will be lit, the sunset should still show up in 2281 01:49:01,479 --> 01:49:04,280 Speaker 1: the background. I've used this technique successfully with my DSLR. 2282 01:49:04,600 --> 01:49:06,960 Speaker 1: I'm heading to Kawhi in August and we'll try a 2283 01:49:07,000 --> 01:49:09,559 Speaker 1: sunset selfie on my phone and report back. I love 2284 01:49:09,600 --> 01:49:13,679 Speaker 1: the show. I'm a faithful listener, all right. I think 2285 01:49:13,760 --> 01:49:17,120 Speaker 1: that's what we're going to do for today.
