Speaker 1: This is a great guest to talk about how to

26
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: pick the best VPN. I know I get a lot

27
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: of questions about VPNs, whether you need one, when you

28
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: should use one. David is going to explain all, welcome

29
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: to another episode of the show. Hope you're having a

30
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: great day. So my kid slept over his friend's house

31
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,279
Speaker 1: last night. We did a swap, like one kid slept

32
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: over my house. My kids slept over another kid's house.

33
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: And so it's just a sign of the time how

34
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: this stuff works. Number one, my kid he's over at

35
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: the uh you know, his friend's house, sleeping over, and

36
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: he's texting me, Dad, can I use Can I use

37
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: my watch as a Wi Fi hotspot for my iPad?

38
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, what, Like, what do you mean? Just connect

39
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: to their WiFi? He goes, it's not very good. I

40
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: was like, oh, okay. And so this morning when he

41
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: came home, I said, how is a sleepover? And I

42
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: kid you not? He said, eh, not so good. Their

43
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: internet was only two bars. That is now the the

44
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: delineation of how good a sleepover is how good the

45
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: internet is at your friend's house. I was cracking up

46
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: at that. And then my other kid, my older kid,

47
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: who had his friend over. You know, I've had lots

48
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: of sleepovers in my day, and we played. You'd go outside,

49
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: you'd explore their house, you'd polish rocks, whatever you did,

50
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: you know.

51
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: And these kids, I kid you not.

52
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: They had the door closed to the playroom and I

53
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: kind of.

54
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: Like just sneak up a little bit.

55
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: Not that I was being sneaky, but I just kind

56
00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: of was listening a little bit to see what they're

57
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: talking about.

58
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: Don't hear much.

59
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: I kind of opened the door quietly that the room

60
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 1: is dark, there's nothing, no lights on in there.

61
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 2: I opened the door. What do I see?

62
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: One kid on the floor on his iPad with his

63
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: screen lit up and or the screen lighting up his face.

64
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 1: The other kid on the couch with the iPad lighting

65
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: up his screen, and they're literally doing the exact same

66
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: thing they'd be doing on a Friday night if they

67
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: were not in the same room. They're just sitting there

68
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: playing Rodblocks or I think it was Minecraft on their iPad,

69
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: And I'm just like, man, how times have changed? When

70
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: we had sleepovers, like it was, you know, the best

71
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: thing ever because you just you know, you're in person anyway.

72
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: I thought that was just wild. The sign of the times.

73
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: With today's youth, it's like they're literally doing the same

74
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: thing except in person. It's there's really no difference whether

75
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: they're in person or apart. All right, So this week

76
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: I was back in New York for the launch of

77
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: the Pixel eight smartphones. Google had an event at Pere

78
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: fifty seven in New York's and I like to get

79
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: real specific because I was there, so why not I

80
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: can remember where I was.

81
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: It was fun.

82
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: I actually picked a hotel that was close to the event,

83
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: and it was nowhere near the event. It was a

84
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: half an hour walk from the event, which was fine.

85
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: It just makes you realize that when a hotel says

86
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: it's like Chelsea, it's really Chelsea adjacent sometimes. So that's

87
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: the neighborhood that I guess Pure fifty seven was in. Anyway,

88
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: you don't care about that. All you care about these

89
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: new phones. And I gotta say I've been using the

90
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: Pixel eight pro ever since, and I will tell you

91
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: that I think and I can't give you my full

92
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: review yet. Because there's these things called embargoes. But I

93
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: will tell you I think this is the best phones

94
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: that Google has ever made. Now, I know Apple says

95
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: that every time they make a new phone, but I

96
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: will say, there's a thoughtfulness to this pixel that I

97
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: feel like has been missing since the early days of

98
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: the pixels. So what did you get? New Pixel eight?

99
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: New Pixel eight pro. Pixel eight has a six point

100
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: two inch screen. Pixel eight pro has a six point

101
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: seven inch screen. These are slightly smaller than last year,

102
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: and so they actually the Pixel eight pro is much

103
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: It just feels much better in the hand, like it's

104
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: actually something that you can hold much easier, and so

105
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: I got to give them credit for that because it's

106
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: it's just so much easier. They also have the brightest

107
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: displays yet on the pixels, and I haven't really noticed that,

108
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: but it does seem a little bit better. I've got

109
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: to see it more outside because that's really where the

110
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: pixel used to be not very good, was outside. They

111
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: have this new temperature sensor on the phone, which is

112
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: super super odd. I don't know why you'd ever need that.

113
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: You can't take your temperature of humans, you can only

114
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: take of things, So why do you need a thermometer

115
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: like we needed this during COVID maybe but not now. Anyway,

116
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: it's on there and they ask the FDA if they

117
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: can get approval for taking the temperature of things, not

118
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: just objects. Kind of an odd inclusion. Cameras are upgraded

119
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: on the standard Pixel eight, but they're really upgraded on

120
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: the Pixel eight Pro. Better low light, better macro, better telephoto.

121
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: It's got a five time zoom, and it's so far

122
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: the camera and the photos on this phone are looking really,

123
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: really good. I in fact took it out against the

124
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 1: iPhone fifteen PROX in New York City. I posted that

125
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: to my Instagram at rich on Tech if you want

126
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: to take a look at the side by side some

127
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: cases the Pixel eight Pro one. I had people vote

128
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: on these things and in some cases the iPhone fifteen

129
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: Pro Max one. So but these are very very good cameras.

130
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 1: There's a new camera interface. They added pro camera I

131
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: guess a pro camera mode that is for the first

132
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: time on the pixel which is nice if you know

133
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,559
Speaker 1: how to do all those little things that I don't.

134
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: I don't use a pro camera mode. I like just

135
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: take the picture, snap and shoot, and that's at point

136
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: and shoot and it's done. But they do have a

137
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: couple of new features. One is called best Take, and

138
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: this is wild you take. You know if you have

139
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: ever taken a group picture of people where one person

140
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: since blinking, one person's looking off, one person's not smiling,

141
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: but generally you take six or seven pictures of that

142
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: group and you're like, one of these should turn out

143
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: good and one of them doesn't. So now it will

144
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: look at all the faces in those six or seven pictures,

145
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: you hit this best take and it will automatically just

146
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: take the best head and the best expression on that

147
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: person's head, and just automatically fix everyone's head in the picture.

148
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 2: So you don't even have to do anything.

149
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: Now if you want to, you can go through and

150
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: actually pick the exact facial expression you want for each

151
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: person in that picture.

152
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: It is a wild AI editing feature.

153
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: I put a video on Instagram, we demoed it on

154
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: the KTLA Morning News and people are just even the anchors.

155
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: I talk about technology every single day on KTLA and

156
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: there's only a handful of times when the anchors are

157
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: actually impressed with what I'm talking about. This was one

158
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: of those times where it was like an aha, moment,

159
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: they were just like, wow, that's wild, and so you

160
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: can see that on my Instagram at rich On Tech.

161
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: The other new feature is called audio Magic Eraser, and

162
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: this reduces background sounds in your videos. So I was

163
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: in New York City. There was a police sirens in

164
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: the background. I just tapped audio Magic Eraser and the

165
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: sirens were erased. And it's not even just that simple,

166
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: like you can do that and have Google do the

167
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: audio edit for you, but if you're a little bit

168
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: more like DIY, it will separate and identify all the

169
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: different sounds in your videos and it will let you

170
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: bring them down like almost as if you had an

171
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: audio mixer.

172
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: So that's really cool.

173
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: Then they've got this new feature which is it's kind

174
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: of like a video edit or sorry, a photo editing feature.

175
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: And the name is evading me right now, but it's

176
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: just basically like AI editing for your entire photo and

177
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: it is really really cool. I've been playing with that,

178
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: and so I just took a picture of a hamburger

179
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: that I took and it not only can erase the

180
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: hamburger in the picture, but also recreates the background. So

181
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 1: you can see this on my Twitter. They whatever they

182
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: call it X but it's called magic editor. Okay, there,

183
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: it is magic editor. So it not only can erase

184
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: entire objects, but it recreates the background. You can drag

185
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: and like move a person in a picture, you can

186
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: zoom them in. I mean, it's pretty wild. So the

187
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: three examples I did. I took a hamburger out of

188
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: a picture and it recreated the background. I moved myself

189
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: in a picture and made myself bigger. And then I

190
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: had this cotton candy picture where it was a little

191
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: tiny cotton candy. I made the cotton candy giant. I mean,

192
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: it's really really wild what you can do there. Then

193
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: they have these new spam reducing features. Google says that

194
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: people get fifty percent less spam calls because of the

195
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: pixel and seven years of software and security updates. That

196
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: means if you bought this pixel phone today, the Pixelate

197
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: or the Pixelate Pro, you're gonna be able to use

198
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: it until twenty thirty and the software is gonna be

199
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: up to date.

200
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 2: That is new from Google.

201
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to see how they do with that,

202
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: because you know, Google has a history of kind of

203
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: like giving up on things and kind of losing interest.

204
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: Let's hope they don't do that with this, but seven

205
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: years of security updates. Pre Orders are open now. These

206
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: are available on October twelfth. The Pixel eight starts at

207
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: six ninety nine. The Pixel eight Pro starts at nine

208
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: to ninety nine, one hundred dollars more than last year.

209
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: They kind of snuck in a little price increase. I

210
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: will tell you, I think the Pixel eight is a

211
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 1: great phone. I think the Pixel eight Pro is really

212
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: the phone to get here because you get more features,

213
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: you get better zoom, you get a better display, you

214
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: get more ram so it's gonna run faster. And also,

215
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: I will tell you it just fits in your hand

216
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: way better than some of these bigger phones these days,

217
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: Like they just made this thing so it fits really nice.

218
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: And by the way, the case that Google made this year,

219
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: there's their own silicone cases actually feel really good. I've

220
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: never been able to use a Google case on my phone,

221
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: and this is the first year which I've not ripped

222
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: it off after using it for fifteen minutes. So that's

223
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: the Pixel eight pixelate Pro. Bay blue is the color

224
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: that everyone's talking about.

225
00:10:58,400 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 2: Not for me.

226
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,599
Speaker 1: I'm not like a bright phone color person, so I

227
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: didn't go with that one. But they also have a

228
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: black and also a obsidian, which is pretty much white.

229
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 2: It's like a grayish white.

230
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: But that's the features on the Pixel eight Pixel a Pro.

231
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: Coming up in the show, I'll talk more about the

232
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: pixel watch too, but let's have some of your calls.

241
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: funny these days. Kids are just not like we were

242
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: as kids. Like I don't think I knew one song

243
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: when I was nine years old, and I was like,

244
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: this is so peaceful, like it was just, you know,

245
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: just different. Let's go to Michael and Long Beach. Michael,

246
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: you're on with Writch.

247
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 3: Yes, Laguna Beach.

248
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 4: Uh Hi.

249
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I bought a I went to Google flights and

250
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 3: bought an airplane ticket off of a of a site

251
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 3: that came up there and put in my credit card

252
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 3: information and uh, you know, everything they asked for, and then,

253
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 3: you know, thought I had it booked, and then somebody

254
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 3: sent me a text and said your card has been

255
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 3: declined and called this number. So I called the number

256
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 3: and very clearly he says what the guy says, Well,

257
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 3: you'll have to rebook everything and we'll get you on

258
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 3: another flight or that flight. So I gave him all

259
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 3: the information and I think it was including the last

260
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 3: four of my social Security But anyway, I figured out

261
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 3: finally because it happened, they wanted me to do it again.

262
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 3: I said, something's wrong here, and the uh. But but anyway,

263
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 3: I called the American Express and told them what had happened,

264
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 3: and uh, you know, they they didn't seem to be

265
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 3: very interested in the fraud.

266
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: Well, they hear it every day, they hear these stories.

267
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: They just it's just another number for them, and they just,

268
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's funny because you think you have this

269
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: like great story and you're gonna and they're gonna really

270
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: be invested in it. When you call and I've had

271
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: this happen to me, they just they don't care. It's

272
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: just like a numbers, like they're like Okay, just do this,

273
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: do this, do this, we'll send you a new card.

274
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 2: We're done.

275
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 3: Well, I guess I'm more concerned that the hackers now

276
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 3: have possibly my fort last four of my social plus

277
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 3: all the credit card information.

278
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 5: Uh.

279
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 3: I thought American Express would want to give me a

280
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: new card, you know, say, okay, we'll cancel that card

281
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 3: and you give you another one, And they didn't seem

282
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 3: to even I didn't ask them for it, but they

283
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 3: didn't seem to even want to do that.

284
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: So what what can I help you with? You just

285
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: want to make sure you're not going to be hacked again.

286
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 3: And yeah, how can I protect myself?

287
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: So why didn't MX give you a new card?

288
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 3: They didn't offer it. I mean I didn't ask for it,

289
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 3: but they didn't offer it.

290
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: Did they find any charges on the card that were fraudulent?

291
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: Did they reverse any or dispute any.

292
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 3: They did find the They did find the It was

293
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 3: very interesting. The base flight information was in there. The

294
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 3: flight I was going from Honolulu to La Hui and

295
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 3: the flight costs seventy nine dollars, and then they said

296
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 3: we need to charge you an excise tax and that

297
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 3: was like eighty nine dollars. And they said, there's going

298
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 3: to be two separate charges on your card. There's going

299
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 3: to be one for the uh, you know, seventy nine

300
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 3: dollars and another one for the excise tax, which American

301
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 3: Express saw, so they saw the charge made to the

302
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 3: excise tax.

303
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, here's here's the thing. I think that the

304
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: I feel like the two things maybe unrelated. Like I

305
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: think that you got a legitimate ticket through Google Flights,

306
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: and perhaps this text came in at the right time

307
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: to grab your information and that's why you were, you know,

308
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: willing to hand it over because you had just booked

309
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: this flight. So that's kind of my initial thought. But

310
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: I think there's a couple of key things to learn

311
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: from this. Number One, I would ask AMX for a

312
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: new card. And I think I typically don't recommend credit cards,

313
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: but I do think in the in terms of travel,

314
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: they are helpful because when stuff like this happens, it

315
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: puts a little buffer between you and your money. So

316
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: if you had used a debit card with this, now

317
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: you'd be fighting to get back your own information. And

318
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: also it would be a problem because now they have

319
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: your debit card information, when they have your credit card information,

320
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: like who really cares. I mean Amex, They're all Amex

321
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: is going to do is they're going to cut off

322
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: you know, this card number, which they should do anyway,

323
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: and then they're going to reverse any sort of charges

324
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: that this card, you know, any fraudulent charges. They're just

325
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: not going to pay on those. So whoever has that

326
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: account that was placing those fraudulent charges, they're just not

327
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: going to get paid. And if it was a scam anyway,

328
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: then it's not that big of a deal for the

329
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: company because they they're just not paying out.

330
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 2: So I think the main things.

331
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: Here is that you did give out your personal information,

332
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: which I think we need to be very very careful,

333
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: especially when we give out our social I have said

334
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: that you pretty much never need to give that out

335
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: unless you are applying for some kind of financial product.

336
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: But any sort of business that asks you for it, doctors,

337
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: you know, airline, I mean, there's just not a reason.

338
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: So I would ask for a new card, and I

339
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: would be careful. I might sign up for some sort

340
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: of credit monitoring, you know, you can look at something

341
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: like these free ones like credit Karma or wallet hub.

342
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: They will do some level of free credit monitoring for you.

343
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: So Michael, that's probably what I'd recommend for you to

344
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: do is monitor your credit. Just make sure nothing is weird,

345
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: and just be aware if you're getting text messages that

346
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: ask for your personal information or any sort of emails,

347
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: just be on guard because you did give out that

348
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 1: level of information. So please protect your personal data. That

349
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: is the most important thing you can do. Be on

350
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: guard all the time. Coming up next, we're going to

351
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: talk to Stephanie Scott of Google about the Pixel eight

352
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: and the Pixel eight Pro.

353
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: Welcome back to rich On Tech.

354
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: Rich Demiro here on location in New York City where

355
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: Google has just announced their latest Pixel eight smartphones. You've

356
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: got the Pixel eight and the Pixel eight Pro. Joining

357
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 1: me now to talk about them is Stephanie Scott with Google,

358
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: and you are the product manager for Pixel.

359
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 6: Yes, I lead the Pixel eight and the Pixel eight

360
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 6: Pro lines.

361
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: So pixel phones to me have always been all about

362
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: the camera, all about AI. Are you really sort of

363
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: doubling down on those two areas this year?

364
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 6: I would say we have amazing advancements in both of

365
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 6: those areas this year. For the camera, we've upgraded all

366
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 6: of the hardware on the Pixel eight Pro. So you're

367
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 6: going to see huge leaps and improvements there, as well

368
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 6: as bringing amazing new post capture and editing tools, things

369
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 6: like Audio Magic Eraser that let you take out unwanted

370
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 6: noise in your videos. We have things like best take

371
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 6: that will let you help select images of faces where

372
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 6: people really look their best, and brand new features like

373
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 6: Magic Editor that let you reimagine a shot maybe a

374
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 6: little bit more like how you remembered it. And then

375
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 6: for helpful AI, we have a number of new features

376
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 6: there as well. New features like Summarize that can help

377
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 6: sort of read a web page and synthesize it for you,

378
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 6: or even things like direct my Call where you actually

379
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 6: have more ambient or helpful, helpful tips and tricks for

380
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 6: answering a phone call.

381
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 1: So I will say, every time I use the Pixel devices,

382
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: I truly feel like it is a smart phone, like

383
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 1: it puts the smart in phone because it almost thinks

384
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 1: for you. And with these AI editions you almost feel

385
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: like you have super control over a lot of your

386
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: photos and videos and things like that.

387
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 2: Let's break down some of these features.

388
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 1: Okay, so first off, you mentioned a new one which

389
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: is the audio eraser.

390
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 2: Explain that.

391
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, so Audio Magic Eraser is an amazing new feature

392
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 6: that we've added for videos. And when you take videos,

393
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 6: a lot of times you're trying to capture the sound

394
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 6: from a subject. So maybe it's a musician or a

395
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 6: child doing a performance, but there could be unwanted background noise.

396
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 6: So if you're recording in New York City, there could

397
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 6: be you know, sirens or an ice cream trucks that

398
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 6: goes by, or a bird chirping, And the feature intelligently

399
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 6: separates those sounds out into layers and then lets you

400
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 6: have the ability to turn those those unwanted noises down

401
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 6: so you can really listen to the intended subject.

402
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

403
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: I was playing with this feature and it really separated

404
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: out like the voice versus the background noise, and you

405
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: can adjust each of them like its own level, like

406
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: almost as if you recorded them independently.

407
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

408
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 6: No, it's really great, and it's great because it makes

409
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 6: it so easy. It really gives you those three options

410
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 6: in the UI and lets you have complete control over

411
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 6: all of them.

412
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: Now, this next feature I think is going to be

413
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 1: the most controversial when it hits the you know, the

414
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 1: open marketplace. The best take because it's so unique and

415
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: it's it's stuff that you could do before if you

416
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: are a photo editor, but now anyone can do this

417
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: in the palm of their hand. This best Take feature.

418
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: You take a group picture or you take even a selfie,

419
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: and it will let you it's like, you know, change

420
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: the way the face looks.

421
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 2: It can give a smile. Will you explain it?

422
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,479
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, so I can explain.

423
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 6: So this feature is really built for those group shots

424
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 6: where you're taking a picture, you know, with a group

425
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 6: of friends or maybe family. And I don't know about

426
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 6: you and your friends, but with me, a lot of

427
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 6: times someone's blinking, someone's looking away from the camera, and

428
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 6: so you end up with a shot where most people

429
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 6: look good, but someone's not looking at the camera. So

430
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 6: it's taking from that series of photos that you took

431
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 6: at that time.

432
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 7: And helping you actually choose from the.

433
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 6: Faces in that that series or group of photos, another

434
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 6: face where someone maybe looks a little bit better, or

435
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 6: is looking at the camera or has their eyes open,

436
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 6: to create one amazing shot where everyone looks their best.

437
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

438
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,719
Speaker 1: So you take six or seven photos and you go

439
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: through them, you swipe, and every single one you analyze,

440
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: you zoom in on the person's face. There's always something

441
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: a little bit off, and so now it's taking the

442
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: best of all those photos merging them into one great picture.

443
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it gives you again a lot of control,

444
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 6: so you can go in and choose the smile maybe

445
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 6: you like, because not everyone wants that big goofy smile,

446
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 6: you know, maybe someone wants a little more muted expression.

447
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 6: So I can't wait personally to use this for my

448
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 6: holiday card this year. We take it with my cat.

449
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 6: It's always a little chaotic, and so it's just nice

450
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 6: to be able to have a little bit more editing control.

451
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 8: There.

452
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 2: Will it work on animal faces?

453
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 7: No, it does not work on animal faces.

454
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 6: But I can choose a picture where my cat is

455
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 6: looking good and then correct my face.

456
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: Ah, okay, got it. Well, maybe next year the upgrade

457
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: for the dogs. People love the dog and cat features.

458
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: These like photo apps. All right, So let's talk about

459
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: the operating system updates because Google announced that they will

460
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: do seven.

461
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 2: Years of updates for the Pixel. Explain what that means.

462
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, so for Pixel, we've you know, we've offered you know,

463
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 6: multiple years of feature updates in the past. We also

464
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 6: have featured drops, which brings newer features to people that may.

465
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 7: Have a Pixel that's several years old.

466
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 6: But this year we have a new offering that's really meaningful,

467
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 6: which is seven years of OS security and feature drops,

468
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 6: so offering users and sort of for Pixel eight and

469
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 6: eight pro a guarantee that we will be supporting these

470
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 6: devices for that time.

471
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: I mean that's a really long time, so this phone

472
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: will pretty much be good to go for that long.

473
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 5: Yeah.

474
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 6: We're excited to have this exciting announcement for users and

475
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 6: being able to support them as if they're planning on

476
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 6: using the device even longer.

477
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 7: Yeah.

478
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: They also announced on stage that if you're kind of

479
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: the tinkering per you can fix your own phone.

480
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 2: Tell me about that.

481
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,479
Speaker 6: Yeah, So we have a partnership with I fix it

482
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 6: and so where we make parts.

483
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 7: And repair manuals available.

484
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 6: So looking to again help support users that are looking

485
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 6: for longevity in their devices.

486
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: I may have to try to just replace a screen,

487
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 1: because the last time I did that was many many

488
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: years ago with an iPod. I replaced the battery and

489
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: I was so proud of myself, But that was like

490
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: many many years ago.

491
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say it's definitely an area that's progressing

492
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 6: and worth trying.

493
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 2: Again. What about people that have the current Pixel phones.

494
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: Are there any features you announced that they can see

495
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: on their phones now?

496
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 2: I think the.

497
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 6: Only one we announced today was the new Fold feature

498
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 6: that provides translation using taking a capability of the two screens,

499
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 6: so being able to do an interpreter mode and use

500
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 6: the dual screens on the Fold display to be able

501
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 6: to more easily do a translation between two people having

502
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 6: a conversation.

503
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 2: What's been the response on the Fold I.

504
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 6: Am honestly, I think it's a really innovative product. It's

505
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 6: a sort of a cutting edge and we're really bringing

506
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 6: and taking advantage of the larger screen to do even

507
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 6: more in terms of you know, photo editing or camera features,

508
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 6: So a really amazing space to innovate.

509
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: AI is a huge part of the Pixel devices. I

510
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: feel like it's always been a big part with Google

511
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: Assistant and all the photo features.

512
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: But now you've got these call screening features.

513
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 1: You say that people with Pixel phones get like fifty

514
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: percent less spam calls.

515
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 2: Tell me about some of those features that you announced today.

516
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, I absolutely love our calling features. So we have

517
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 6: a number of different features, everything from you know, direct

518
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 6: my Call, which helps you when you're calling a business

519
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 6: for example, to be able to navigate phone trees, to

520
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 6: things like Crystal Clear Calling that remove background noise using AI,

521
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 6: to things like Hold for Me that literally save you

522
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 6: hours of your day by not having to wait on hold.

523
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 6: The new one we announced today is in advancement to

524
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 6: direct My Call and call screen, where you actually have

525
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 6: more intelligent response suggestions, so you don't even have.

526
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 7: To pick up a call to respond to a call.

527
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 6: So if you imagine, for example, a UPS driver is

528
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 6: calling and.

529
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 7: Asks where should I leave the package? Or can I

530
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 7: leave the package?

531
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 6: You'll actually get suggested responses and you can say things

532
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 6: like leave it by the door, you know, and not

533
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 6: even have to pick up the phone to give them

534
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 6: that instruction, which is great.

535
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 1: So you work with this phone on a daily basis,

536
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: I imagine you're pretty much invested in the pixel lineup

537
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: and you feel like it's probably one of the best

538
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 1: phones out there. If someone is thinking about switching to

539
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: this phone, that is a really tough thing for the

540
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: average smartphone user to do because they've got a big

541
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: life in their previous phone.

542
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 2: What's your advice for them?

543
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 6: My advice is to give it a go. I think

544
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 6: there's a lot of new features here, amazing cameras to

545
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 6: try all the new helpful calling features and smart features

546
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 6: on board. So it's a really great time to try

547
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 6: a pixel all right.

548
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 1: So you've got Pixel eight startup at six hundred ninety

549
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: nine dollars. You've got Pixel eight Pro starting at nine

550
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 1: hundred ninety nine dollars. Also there's a deal I saw

551
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 1: if you pre order, you might get a free watch.

552
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 6: I think we have some amazing pre order promotions going

553
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 6: on right now, so definitely worth giving those a try.

554
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 2: And when are these available?

555
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,760

556

00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 1: on in, I'm on Facebook X and am I still

572
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: on Threads? I'm not sure. I haven't really logged into

573
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 1: that one in a while. It's been a bit, but

574
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: I know they're trying, but I feel like Twitter is

575
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 1: still there and Threads is like, I don't know, it's

576
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: just tough to like try to be everywhere all at once,

577
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: and Threads just doesn't feel alive enough for me at

578
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 1: this point. So I'm there, but it's just not like

579
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: I'm not putting a lot of effort into it. Mary

580
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: wrote in on the website rich on tech dot TV. Hey,

581
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: Rich I have an iPhone fourteen and there's one little

582
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 1: glitch that drives me crazy. I like to keep the

583
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: brightness at its highest level. On its own, the brightness

584
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 1: will decrease. I've read message boards and watch YouTube videos

585
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: followed various directions, and yet no matter what I do

586
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: in settings, the brightness diminishes with no direction from me,

587
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: all on its own. Any ideas, Thanks?

588
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 9: Mary?

589
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: I enjoy your radio show on KFI. Mary, you should

590
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: have just emailed me first. You would have saved yourself

591
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: a lot of time. So yeah, yes, the iPhone on

592
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 1: its own will adjust the brightness the brightness that you have.

593
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 1: That slider is kind of a suggestion, and the iPhone

594
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: learns kind of like do you like it brighter?

595
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 2: Do you like it dimmer?

596
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: And at the same time you can always adjust it,

597
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: but the iPhone's going to do it at the end

598
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: of the day by itself. But there is in the

599
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: accessibility settings a way to override this. So Mary, I

600
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: hope you're still listening. Go into these settings app tap

601
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 1: accessibility and then tap display and text size and scroll

602
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: to auto brightness. So again settings, go to settings Accessibility,

603
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: Display and text Size, scroll all the way down and

604
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: at the bottom it says auto brightness and you can

605
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: toggle that off and whatever you set the brightness to be,

606
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,479
Speaker 1: that's where it will stay. Now, keep in mind the

607
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: iPhone does the brightness on its own because it manages

608
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: the battery and the power, and so if you set

609
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: your brightness at a level that's really high, you're going

610
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: to eat through your battery a lot faster. So great question,

611
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: and thanks for emailing and thanks for listening. So to

612
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: Robert in Seal Beach, Robert, you're.

613
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 2: On with Rich.

614
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 10: Hello, Rich, good to you. I know you have a

615
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 10: guest coming up, or maybe you already had it and

616
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 10: I admitted it about VPNs.

617
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 2: Correct, hasn't hasn't been on yet?

618
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 10: Okay, good, I'll look forward to hearing it then. So

619
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 10: my question is this on my iPhone, on my iPad,

620
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 10: on my MacBook. I installed VPN several years ago, and

621
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 10: I use it word even if I'm at home. I

622
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 10: use the VPN, and my friend said that I shouldn't

623
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 10: do that because it's not necessary. Number one, And he

624
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 10: thinks his interference with my if I'm engaging with Best

625
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 10: Buys or I'm engaging with Staples, he thinks that using

626
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 10: my VPN can alter my my information with those companies.

627
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 10: But I think that. I mean, I can scroll. I

628
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 10: see all these different Wi Fi addresses of my neighbors,

629
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 10: so therefore I think they can see mine. So I

630
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 10: just try to I don't know, mask it or hide it,

631
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 10: or I just don't want somebody trying to hack in

632
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 10: because they know I'm living next door or I'm met

633
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 10: this at the dinner table next to them. Is there

634
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 10: such thing as overusing a VPN.

635
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 2: Well, let's put it this way. It's funny.

636
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: I was just having this conversation with my wife last night.

637
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: Because I travel, and you know that, you hear so

638
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: many ads for VPNs, and so many people are promoting

639
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: VPNs because there's a lot of money in VPNs. So

640
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: wherever there's money, there's going to be a lot of promotion.

641
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: And so people love to talk about why you need

642
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: a VPN. Now I will tell you that I don't.

643
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: And look, we have this guest coming up, David Werta

644
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: is going to talk to us about this, so I

645
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: think he's more of an expert in this than I am,

646
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: but I'll get his take on when you should use one.

647
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: But I think in general, if you're at home, I

648
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: don't think you need a VPN. You are on your

649
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: home network, you are secured. Just because someone could see

650
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: your Wi Fi network name does not mean they're able

651
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: to hack into your network, and there are ways of

652
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: actually hiding that as well. On your router settings, you

653
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: can turn off what's called broadcast SSID, which means when

654
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: you go on there, you will not see your home

655
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: Wi Fi network. So if you want to add a

656
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: layer of mystery and cloak your WiFi, no one else

657
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: could see that if you turn off broadcast SSID. So

658
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: most people do not do that. It makes life a

659
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: little bit more complicated. But to connect to your Wi

660
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: Fi network, all you'd have to do is manually type

661
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: in your network ID and your password, and it would

662
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: still find it and log in obviously if you're within range.

663
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: But other people would not be able to see that.

664
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: So that's one kind of barrier between you and someone

665
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: that's trying to get in on your network. Now, most

666
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: of the time people are not trying to get into

667
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: your Wi Fi network at home. If you live in

668
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: a place with a lot of networks, sure, I get it,

669
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: you don't want your stuff. Also, I was just helping

670
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: my sister set up her network, and her Wi Fi

671
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: name was a combination of her and her kid, and

672
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: then the password was something that was also similar, And

673
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: I said, look, no, no, no, no, no, you never want

674
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: to set your home Wi Fi as something that identifies

675
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: who you are. Don't put in your name, don't put

676
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: in your address, don't put in your pets name, because

677
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: those are all signals. So if someone's driving across your

678
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: street and oh gosh, there used to be a term

679
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: for this that I'm trying to remember. Oh it was

680
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: like Wi Fi warring or something, But I kind of

681
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: remember what that term was. But you know, people used

682
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: to do this when Wi Fi first came out. They'd

683
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: have a little fun with it and try to figure

684
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: out the network and the password and all that stuff.

685
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 2: And they still do.

686
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: But my point is, please use a nondescript Wi Fi

687
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: name and a nondescript Wi Fi password that is very strong, because, yeah,

688
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: if someone gets into your password on your Wi Fi network,

689
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: they're going to be able to access all of those

690
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: things that are on your network, which is, you know,

691
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: your smart home stuff. They can sniff on your network

692
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: see what you're you know, trying to pass by on there.

693
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,959
Speaker 1: So yes, you want to lock down your network. But

694
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: to answer your question, Robert, when do I think you

695
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: need a VPN. I think you need a VPN when

696
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: you are on a public Wi Fi network and you

697
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: are accessing a sensitive website like your banking information, your

698
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: credit card, things like not even your credit card really

699
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: just your banking you know, your personal bank, And so

700
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: that's when I think you need it. I travel a lot,

701
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: I'm on different Wi Fi networks all the time, and

702
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of the time websites are encrypted to

703
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: begin with, the connection between you and that website is locked.

704
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: And so most of the time what you're passing through

705
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: those websites is secured. But if you want that extra

706
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: level of security, go ahead use the VPN. It's not

707
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: going to mess things up. In fact, when I tried

708
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: to log into my bank using my VPN on a

709
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: mobile network, they wouldn't let me. I had to actually

710
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: turn off the the VPN to get in. So again,

711
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: if you're on a cellular connection, you do not need

712
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 1: a VPN. That connection is very, very secure. If you're

713
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: on your home Wi Fi network, I don't think you

714
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: need it. If you're on a public Wi Fi network

715
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: and you're accessing something that's very sensitive, that's when I

716
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: think it kicks in. But again, we're gonna have a

717
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,399
Speaker 1: VPN expert a little bit later on in the show.

718
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: We will ask him this exact question and he will

719
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: give us some information about that.

720
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 2: Good question.

721
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: Robert, thanks for calling the show at triple eight rich

722
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: one oh one. That's eighty eight seven four to two

723
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: for one zero one. Speaking of hacking, this is the

724
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: way people get hacked. So twenty three and meters has

725
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 1: confirmed that user data is being sold on hacker forms

726
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 1: following a attack on their website. And how did these

727
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 1: hackers get into their website? They didn't sit there and

728
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: try one thousand different combinations of user name and passwords.

729
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 2: What did they do?

730
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: They went on the web. They found a whole bunch

731
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: of leaked usernames and passwords for other websites, and they

732
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: tried them on twenty three and Me and guess what,

733
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: a bunch of them worked. A bunch of them gave

734
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: them the login. Because what happens. People reuse the same

735
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: username and the same password across a whole bunch of

736
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: different websites thinking it'll be fine, nobody's targeting them, and

737
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,479
Speaker 1: guess what, this is what happens. So the initial leak

738
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: was one million lines of ancestry data. Now they're selling

739
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: this twenty three in me account data for a dollar

740
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: to ten dollars per profile. The data includes names, usernames, photos, sex,

741
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: birth date, ancestry results, and location. That's a lot of information.

742
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: So if you did the swab for twenty three and

743
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: Me and a lot of you have, and you reused

744
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: your password and user name somewhere else, your information could

745
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: be out there. Twenty three in me says affected accounts

746
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: had opted into the DNA relatives feature. What do they

747
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: say to protect yourself in the future. Encourage two factor

748
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: use two factor authentication, and use a unique password. Good

749
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:05,080

763
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: So this week, you know, we are in the slide

764
00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: to the holidays. I called the slide because it is

765
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: just like a slippery slope. You know, it's like Halloween's

766
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: coming up, Thanksgiving then the Holidays. I know, I don't

767
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: want to rush it, but for me, when it comes

768
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 1: to technology, this is kind of the busiest time because

769
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 1: people want to know about gifts. All the tech companies

770
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,919
Speaker 1: have new phones coming out and new gadgets coming out

771
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: because there is money to be made on selling this stuff.

772
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: So this week we got the new Pixel phones and

773
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 1: the new Pixel Watch, which are in stores next week.

774
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: I've also noticed a new trend too with all of

775
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:38,399
Speaker 1: this technology. It's getting announced and then available a lot

776
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: quicker than before. Used to be like they would announce

777
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: it and then it was available in like a couple

778
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: of weeks. Now it's becoming like a week to two weeks.

779
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: And by the way, if you bought one of those

780
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: new iPhone fifteens recently that were hot, you know, if

781
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: you went on a ski trip, you wouldn't need to

782
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 1: bring anything except an iPhone fifteen as your handwarmer because

783
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: they were getting that warm. So if you had that

784
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: problem and update your phone to iOS seventeen point zero

785
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: point three, and this supposedly fixes the iPhone fifteen overheating bug.

786
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it's running less warm than it

787
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 1: was before, but seventeen point zero point three fixes the

788
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: bugs that were causing the models to run hot. Lots

789
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: of people were complaining about overheating iPhones after the launch,

790
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: Apple said it was not a hardware or design flaw.

791
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 1: Some people said it was due to the titanium. Apple

792
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 1: says it was just software related and this should resolve it.

793
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: They actually blame some third party apps like Instagram and

794
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: Uber for overloading the processor. Come on, really, like Instagram's

795
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: been around forever, Uber's been around forever. You're telling me

796
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: that this phone is like made running hot because of that.

797
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 1: I don't know whatever, whatever it was, they seem to

798
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: have fixed it. We'll see in a week or so

799
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: if people are still complaining now. The thing is, anytime

800
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: you set up a new phone, it's always gonna run

801
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 1: a little bit hotter. You're using it more because you're

802
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 1: trying to like get all the apps downloaded, try out

803
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: the new features, all that stuff. But Apple says, in

804
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: stall this and hopefully it should fix any overheating issues.

805
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 2: It's weird.

806
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: There were like three updates for the brand new iPhone

807
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 1: within two weeks. That's pretty rare with Apple. Let's see

808
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: what else we got. An email from Jennifer says, Hey, Rich,

809
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: I've got an iPhone thirteen Pro and a one year

810
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:30,280
Speaker 1: old iPad. I'm at a campground in Tennessee with great WiFi. However,

811
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 1: my devices will not stay logged in. You can imagine

812
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: how annoying it is to re enter the password multiple

813
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 1: times each day. I have the network saved with both

814
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: auto join and auto login. My phone is running iOS

815
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: sixteen point six point one. We stayed here last year,

816
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: same devices didn't have this problem. Do you have any

817
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: suggestions for additional settings I should try? Do you think

818
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 1: this is something with the provider's Wi Fi. I always

819
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: value your input and look forward to listening to you

820
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:58,280
Speaker 1: on your show via the app while I'm on the road. Jennifer,

821
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: I had this same exact problem at my hotel in

822
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 1: New York City, and I don't understand what the deal is,

823
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: but I think I may have something you can try.

824
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: But yes, I was logged into the hotel Wi Fi

825
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 1: and every single day, even though I selected like two

826
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 1: or three days for the Wi Fi connection, it kept

827
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 1: making me log in. Now, maybe that's because I have

828
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: like fifteen devices that I log in on the Wi

829
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: Fi and most people don't. And I've also noticed that

830
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: hotels are now kind of making you pay if you

831
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,439
Speaker 1: have more than two devices on your WiFi in the room,

832
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: so watch out for that. But here's the only thing

833
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: I can think of. On the new versions of iOS,

834
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: and this may be different than last year, they do

835
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: have this like private Wi Fi address, So sometimes the

836
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 1: iPhone will generate a different address that makes your phone

837
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: look like it might be a different device. And so

838
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: when it does that, it does that to protect your

839
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: privacy so they can't track you as much. But the

840
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 1: Wi Fi network may see that and it may say, oh,

841
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,359
Speaker 1: this is a new device, so we need to log

842
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 1: in again. So you can try this, go into the

843
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: once you're kind of it's to the Wi Fi network

844
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: on your iPhone, tap the I next to the Wi

845
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:08,240
Speaker 1: Fi network's name, and there's a setting that says private

846
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: Wi Fi address. Turn that off and see if that

847
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: helps with the reconnection. That's really the only thing I

848
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 1: can think of that's causing the reconnection unless you're using

849
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: a VPN and it's cloaking your phone and your iPad's

850
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: information and that's why it's wanting to reconnect.

851
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 2: Or it could just.

852
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,399
Speaker 1: Be that this Wi Fi is set up on the

853
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 1: network side to ask you to reconnect every twelve hours,

854
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: every twenty four hours, so that may be what's happening here.

855
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: But that's the only thing I can think of is

856
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 1: go into your Wi Fi settings, tap the I next

857
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: to the network that you're connected to, and disable the

858
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: private Wi Fi address and see if that helps. Jennifer,

859
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:54,399
Speaker 1: thanks for listening to the show from the road. Let's

860
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: see what else do I want to talk about. I

861
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about the new pixel Watch too, so

862
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: I've been it for just a day now. It looks

863
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 1: a lot like the first pixel Watch. This is Google's

864
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: new pixel Watch that is upgraded last year's pixel Watch.

865
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 2: I honestly, I didn't.

866
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,240
Speaker 1: Even review it because I wore it for a week

867
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: and I just was not impressed. It was kind of underpowered,

868
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: kind of felt like a glorified Fitbit. It just was

869
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: not something that I think i'd recommend to my audience.

870
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: So I just kind of like didn't really do much

871
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: on it. I talked about it that it's there, but

872
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,280
Speaker 1: I didn't really recommend it. This year, they say everything

873
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: has changed. We'll have an interview with the product manager

874
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 1: for Google Wearables coming up later this hour, so he'll

875
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: talk more about it, but I'll just give you the basics.

876
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 1: Better performance. Got a new quad core cpu. They went

877
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: out to Qualcom this time instead of their own, and

878
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: so it's faster, they said. The battery life is greatly improved.

879
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,240
Speaker 1: Now it's twenty four hours and it's always on by default.

880
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 1: Last year it wasn't you could toggle it on, but

881
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: they took that feature, you know, they made it so

882
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: it was just the screen would go dark when you

883
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: weren't using it because the battery wasn't that good, and

884
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: they knew that. This year, always on is on by default,

885
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,399
Speaker 1: which of course is shit. Be new health sensors for

886
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: the health rate, heart rate, stress. I love that it

887
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: tracks your stress and also sleep tracking, so I wore

888
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 1: it to bed last night tracked my sleep. I got

889
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,240
Speaker 1: very very good sleep last night, so thank you fitbit

890
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 1: for telling me that, although my rating was only eighty

891
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,319
Speaker 1: one out of one hundred. So that is the reason

892
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 1: why I don't like wearing these things to bed, because

893
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: you wake up, you feel great, and then you look

894
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,359
Speaker 1: at your score and it's horrible, and I'm like, wait

895
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: a second, what could I do better?

896
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 2: Stress? I think is awesome.

897
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: It will actually tell you when you're stressed out, so

898
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:32,919
Speaker 1: you may not want to wear this new watch to work.

899
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: It also now has fall detection, emergency SOS, and safety check.

900
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 1: Those are really important features because obviously, if you take

901
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 1: a fall, it can call for help. Emergency SOS can

902
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 1: call your friends in the event of an emergency, and

903
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 1: safety check you can set like an hour and say hey,

904
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: if I don't respond in an hour or do something,

905
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 1: please tell people that they need to check on me.

906
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: Comes with six months of free Fitbit Premium.

907
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 2: It works with a Fitbit at it is this app.

908
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: It sort of is still like a glorified Fitbit, but

909
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: this watch definitely feels better, has some new watch faces.

910
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: It's three hundred and fifty dollars. It's available October twelfth,

911
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: and it's just it's overall seeming like it's better. I

912
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: still think that the Apple Watch is the king of

913
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 1: smart watches, but I think if you don't need something

914
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: that robust, I actually really enjoy this watch, especially because

915
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: it has a lot of the googlely things built in.

916
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,879
Speaker 1: So it's got Google Assistant, it's got Google Maps, it's

917
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 1: got Google YouTube Music if you like that.

918
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 2: It's got Spotify if you like that.

919
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: So it's got a lot of little things that the

920
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 1: Apple Watch has some of those things, But if you

921
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: really like Google. I think that this watch is a

922
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 1: nice thing that if you don't expect too much from

923
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:50,879
Speaker 1: your watch, it's not a bad device. By the way,

924
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:53,919
Speaker 1: I talk about my wife lock because we chat about

925
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: this stuff at home. I know, I always say, I

926
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: know you don't care about this stuff, but I'm telling

927
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 1: you anyway because it's my life. But we were talking

928
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: about the different watches, and she was like, isn't it

929
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: funny that people always want an iPhone but they use

930
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 1: so many Google products, Like they use Gmail, they use

931
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 1: Google Chrome, they use you know what, Google maps, they

932
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,439
Speaker 1: use YouTube, but yet everyone wants an iPhone. I said,

933
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 1: hold on, are you punking me right now? Because this

934
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: is Google's advertisements. Did you watch an ad for this?

935
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 1: Because Google's new ad for the Pixel phones is kind

936
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: of riffing on that. They say, oh, you want a

937
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: brand you can trust because you want the iPhone and

938
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 1: maybe they don't name Apple, but they say they go,

939
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 1: but you also use Google, Chrome, Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube.

940
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 1: You're already using so many Google products. Why not make

941
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: your phone a Google product? And so I thought that

942
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:46,359
Speaker 1: was really funny that she picked up on their entire

943
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,760
Speaker 1: marketing without seeing that ad, which is kind of true.

944
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 1: But I will say I'm not knocking the iPhone. I

945
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: still think that the iPhone software and hardware is incredible.

946
00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 1: I think that for a lot of people, it's just

947
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 1: kind of the default. It's the one that people get

948
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: because their friends have it. They want to be on

949
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: I message, they just want to be part of the crowd.

950
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 1: And I totally understand all of that stuff. Have you

951
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: ever been in a crowd where you say, oh, let

952
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 1: me share that picture with you and they say, oh cool,

953
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: let me air drop it, and You're just like, wait,

954
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: not everyone on this earth has air drop.

955
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 2: They just assume you have an iPhone.

956
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's really gotten to the point where we just,

957
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: you know, people just assume everyone else has one, and

958
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 1: it's not always the case. And yes, iPhone is amazing,

959
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 1: and I think the ecosystem is really incredible, the fact

960
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: that they have all these things that work really well

961
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 1: with it. But again it's all sort of like Apple

962
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: telling you what to do, Apple telling you what to have.

963
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 1: But then again, on the flip side, the accessories for

964
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: the iPhone are also amazing. I was saying that, you know,

965
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 1: just the amount of accessories that I get sent on

966
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 1: a monthly basis that deal with the iPhone. They're all

967
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 1: really fun. Like I was using this little mofed Moft.

968
00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 1: This is a company that makes like magnetic stands, like

969
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 1: magnetic accessories for the iPhone, and they're just really cool.

970
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: They like unfold and it's like a little tablet stand

971
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: for my, uh my iPhone in the plane. I mean,

972
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: it was just so cool and I was like, oh,

973
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: this is so cool. But it doesn't work on anything Android.

974
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: Because these companies know they sell so many iPhones every year.

975
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: If they can just tap into a little bit of

976
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 1: that magic, they can sell a whole bunch of accessories

977
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:24,760
Speaker 1: for them as well. All Right, we got some calls

978
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:26,879
Speaker 1: lined up at Triple eight. Rich one O one eight

979
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 1: eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

980
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 1: My name is Richdimiro. You are listening to Rich on tech.

981
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Rich on Tech. Let's go to Elsa

982
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 1: in Plia del Rey, California.

983
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 2: Elsa, you're on with Rich.

984
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:44,879
Speaker 4: Hey, Rich, how you doing today?

985
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: I'm doing fantastic. Hope you can hear it my voice?

986
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, okay, So I had an email forever I

987
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 4: was married, I got divorced, and I want to create

988
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 4: a new one with my with my going back to

989
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,919
Speaker 4: my dad name in any event I want to. I'm

990
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 4: in social media. I try to stay away from all

991
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:04,839
Speaker 4: that stuff because I don't want to expose myself. So

992
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 4: I'm just wondering what's a good email of email company

993
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 4: or whatever provides that I have MS in right now,

994
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 4: and I was looking at Max, but I don't want

995
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:18,839
Speaker 4: to do Gmail because I know they get a lot

996
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 4: of your information and like I said, I try to

997
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 4: minimize getting my information out. There is there one email

998
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 4: provider that's better than another?

999
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 1: Well, I think Gmail is the best, but and actually

1000
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 1: they don't get your information, so Google does, but Gmail.

1001
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 1: So when Gmail first started, they actually used to scan

1002
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 1: your emails to serve up ads.

1003
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 2: They no longer do that. They stop doing that years ago.

1004
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 1: So I think Gmail is still one of the best,

1005
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: one of the most secure. But with that said, if

1006
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,439
Speaker 1: you don't want it, there are plenty of options out there.

1007
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 1: So some of the other popular ones are something like Outlook,

1008
00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: and a lot of these are connected to other service

1009
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: So to use something like Outlook, you got to sign

1010
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,399
Speaker 1: up for a Microsoft account. To use Gmail, you got

1011
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 1: to sign up for a Google account to use Yahoo.

1012
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 2: You got to have a Yahoo account.

1013
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 1: So to me, if you want something that's sort of

1014
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 1: by itself and just kind of independent of anything else,

1015
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:18,839
Speaker 1: then maybe you want to go with one of these

1016
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: smaller providers that is kind of independent. So if you

1017
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: want something that's really secure in private, which elsa sounds

1018
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:29,400
Speaker 1: like you do, I would check out proton Mail. So

1019
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: proton mail is they're known for security, they're known for privacy,

1020
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 1: and so that's a provider that is going to be

1021
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 1: end to end encrypted, and it's just it's a really

1022
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 1: kind of more secure email. Now, the downside to it

1023
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: is that you can use it for free, but it

1024
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 1: depends how much storage you're going to get. You're only

1025
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 1: gonna get one gigabyte of storage for free, and once

1026
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 1: you go above that, if you want a little bit more,

1027
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:58,839
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to pay three ninety nine a month

1028
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: or about fifty bucks for the year. So I feel

1029
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 1: like with email, unless you have a reason to go

1030
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 1: with a paid account, it's kind of nice to have

1031
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 1: something that's free because you don't really want to think

1032
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 1: about it. But even Google and all of the free

1033
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: email providers typically give you about fifteen gigabytes of storage

1034
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 1: for free, so proton mail is something i'd check out.

1035
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,399
Speaker 1: The other one is iCloud. If you already have an

1036
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 1: iPhone and you already have kind of like all that

1037
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:26,280
Speaker 1: stuff set up, you can just go onto your iPhone

1038
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 1: and set up a free iCloud email account. So if

1039
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 1: you want to go do that, all you have to

1040
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 1: do is go to your Apple ID and then go

1041
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 1: to iCloud and right there it'll say, let's see where

1042
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 1: is it iCloud mail, and you just tap set up,

1043
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: and we'll ask you for your email name and you

1044
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 1: just type that in and your email address would be

1045
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 1: something aticloud dot com. So those are a few of

1046
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:55,320
Speaker 1: the popular ones. Obviously, things like AOL are still around,

1047
00:50:55,800 --> 00:51:00,120
Speaker 1: but I can't really wholeheartedly recommend that one. Yahoo who

1048
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 1: even though it's old, it actually they still work on

1049
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: it and they still do a lot with it. So

1050
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 1: Yahoo's not a bad way to go. But I think

1051
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:10,839
Speaker 1: those are some of the providers that I would look at.

1052
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: And if you have an iPhone, I think the iCloud

1053
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 1: one's pretty simple, but again that does kind of lock

1054
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 1: you into all things Apple, so if you don't, I

1055
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,879
Speaker 1: personally prefer third party, independent platforms for everything. I do,

1056
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 1: so I personally do not use that one, but I

1057
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:27,839
Speaker 1: know a lot of people do if they just want

1058
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: to stick to Apple stuff.

1059
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 2: So good question, Elsa.

1060
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 1: And you know, no matter what you do, when you

1061
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:37,320
Speaker 1: set up your account, please use a unique password and

1062
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: immediately turn on two factor authentication and you will be

1063
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,319
Speaker 1: good to go. Thanks for the call, Triple eight rich

1064
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:47,360
Speaker 1: one on one eighty eight seven four to two four

1065
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 1: one zero one, coming up on October tenth. Oh you

1066
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: thought I was gonna say, coming up on the show,

1067
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 1: coming up on October tenth. This is Amazon. I'm Big

1068
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: Deal Days. How many Prime Days can we have in

1069
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: a year? We just got through Prime Day that was

1070
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,720
Speaker 1: a dud. Now we've got the new Prime big Deal Days.

1071
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:10,799
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but here's what I bought

1072
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 1: on Prime Day last time. I think I bought like

1073
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: those phizzy tablets, like those Electrolyte tablets. Like how boring

1074
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:21,319
Speaker 1: is it when you're buying like a Gatorade tablet for

1075
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:25,439
Speaker 1: your Prime Day? But maybe this won will be better.

1076
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,360
Speaker 1: This one starts on October tenth, and it seems like

1077
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 1: Amazon has to keep reminding us of reasons why we

1078
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 1: should pay this one hundred and thirty nine dollars a

1079
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: year to keep our Prime memberships, which I'm pretty sure

1080
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: I use a lot of forty eight hour shopping event.

1081
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 1: This is happening before Black Friday. They're trying to get

1082
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 1: a head start on the holiday shopping season. Again, this

1083
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 1: is for Amazon Prime members only. Deals will start at

1084
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:51,759
Speaker 1: three am Eastern on October tenth. Of course, like they

1085
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 1: always say, there's gonna be millions of discounted items. Deals

00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 1: That's where you really save money Amazon stuff. The one

1088
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 1: thing I thought was very interesting this year. Gift cards

1089
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: are going to be up to twenty percent off for

1090
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 1: different brands, and they have this new buy Again feature,

1091
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 1: so they're trying to help you figure out the stuff

Speaker 2: More rich On Tech.

1100
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 1: Right after this, Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich

1101
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:42,840
Speaker 1: Demiro here on location once again in New York City

1102
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 1: to talk all things Google products. Google had their big

1103
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,720
Speaker 1: pixel launch event here and I was in the audience.

1104
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 2: It was very fun. We got to go hands on

1105
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:52,280
Speaker 2: with the new products.

1106
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 1: Joining me now is san Deep Barach, product manager for

1107
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: the pixel Watch.

1108
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:58,839
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining me. Thanks Rich.

1109
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 1: So let's talk about pixel Watch too. This is the

1110
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,840
Speaker 1: follow up to last year's model. What are some of

1111
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,240
Speaker 1: the biggest improvements to the watch this time around?

1112
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 11: Yeah, overall upgraded insight and out. So the big things.

1113
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 11: Starting with the performance itself. It's a quad core processor

1114
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 11: giving you really smooth performance. It's a display that is

1115
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 11: always on. Combined with our core processor, it gives you

1116
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 11: all day battery life with always on display. So that's

1117
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 11: a pretty big improvement both in terms of performance and

1118
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 11: battery life. Moving to the health sensors, we are bringing

1119
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 11: three new health sensors overall, a skin temperature which gives

1120
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 11: you a lot of insights around your night temperature and

1121
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:44,280
Speaker 11: how your body kind of changes the changes in skin temperature, continue,

1122
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 11: stress monitoring, which is a pretty big overall wellness feature,

1123
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 11: and capability which can both detect stressful events during the

1124
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 11: day and give you some interventions suggest some interventions both

1125
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 11: on the watch and on the fitbit app on the phone.

1126
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 11: You're also bringing personal safety features that make the watch

1127
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,799
Speaker 11: a really good companion for a peace of mind when

1128
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,760
Speaker 11: you're on a trail or walking alone. These are features

1129
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 11: where we are bringing emergency SOS, emergency location sharing with

1130
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 11: your loved ones, but all the also things like safety check,

1131
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 11: which is like a timer for your safety. So let's

1132
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 11: say you go on a run for an hour, you

1133
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 11: can put that timer and then after one hour, if

1134
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 11: you're in a bind and can't respond back to your

1135
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 11: watch that you're all good. It will then send your

1136
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 11: location and the right details to risk first responders and

1137
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 11: do your loved ones.

1138
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: So let's start with some of the things that you

1139
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 1: mentioned about the battery life. So you always on display

1140
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 1: means that the display is always on, but you're still

1141
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 1: going to get a full day's worth of use out

1142
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:45,799
Speaker 1: of the watch.

1143
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 2: That is right.

1144
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 11: So that is in a way, what that really brings

1145
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 11: compared to first generation is you don't have to compromise

1146
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 11: on it being a watch. So at a glance, you

1147
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:01,360
Speaker 11: still have this watch which has very expressive watch faces,

1148
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 11: and with always on display, it is your primary watch

1149
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 11: and then when you turn it around, it activates with

1150
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:10,839
Speaker 11: just detecting your tilt of the wrist and then can

1151
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 11: give you a lot more information on the watch face

1152
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:15,720
Speaker 11: itself and you can interact with that. That's a pretty

1153
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:17,799
Speaker 11: big feature because generally it takes away a lot from

1154
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 11: the battery life, but we wanted to have this peace

1155
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 11: of mind that you can go through the day, through

1156
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 11: the night of sleep tracking and still have battery left.

1157
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:28,759
Speaker 2: Ah through this sleep tracking as well.

1158
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:30,800
Speaker 1: So when do you think that people should charge this

1159
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:32,359
Speaker 1: when they wake up in the morning, when they're getting

1160
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 1: ready for work.

1161
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,279
Speaker 11: I can tell how I use it and how we

1162
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 11: have found lots of our users use it in our

1163
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:45,400
Speaker 11: trusted testing. There are two primary ways in which charging,

1164
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 11: which is faster by the way, so I forgot to

1165
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 11: mention that it's a faster charging mechanism too. So in

1166
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:52,800
Speaker 11: thirty minutes of charging, you're going to get fifty percent

1167
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 11: of battery, so that equates to about twelve hours. So

1168
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,359
Speaker 11: I go through the day and then when I'm having

1169
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 11: dinner with my family, that's when I please check my watch.

1170
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:02,840
Speaker 11: So I have about thirty minutes, I put it on

1171
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:05,840
Speaker 11: the charger, I'm ready for the full night of sleep tracking,

1172
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:07,879
Speaker 11: and then full day as well, and then right around

1173
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 11: the evening I repeat that cycle. Or conversely, you can

1174
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:13,840
Speaker 11: go through the day, sleep track through the night, and

1175
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 11: in the morning, while maybe showering or brushing, you can

1176
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 11: just put it on the charger and very quickly get

1177
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 11: ready for the day.

1178
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 2: Okay, there you go.

1179
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 1: Two good ways to charge if you're trying to get

1180
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 1: your sleep tracking in. And what I like about this

1181
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: watch is it's so minimal. It's minimalistic so you can

1182
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 1: wear it comfortably to bed and track your sleep without

1183
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 1: it feeling like it's a big clunky watch.

1184
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:36,840
Speaker 11: That is exactly right, that's really well captured. It doesn't

1185
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 11: snag on the jackets like winter season is coming, will

1186
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 11: be wearing like long sleeves all so it's very low

1187
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:47,480
Speaker 11: profile in that regard our design principle and this was

1188
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 11: for it to be fussed a good watch, and I

1189
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 11: think we have succeeded with that.

1190
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the improved heart rate sensor. If you

1191
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 1: look on the back of the device, it's a much

1192
00:57:56,840 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 1: more it's kind of a bigger sensor like there's more

1193
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 1: going on there.

1194
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 2: Maybe not larger, but there's a lot more to it.

1195
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 2: So explain that.

1196
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:07,560
Speaker 11: Yeah, So on the sensor there are the two sensors

1197
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 11: I talked about, the skin temperature and the stress monitoring.

1198
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 11: So that's on the electrodes on the back that you

1199
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 11: see are new compared to the previous generation. You also

1200
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 11: see more number of LEDs and photodiodes. That's for the

1201
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:23,120
Speaker 11: heart rate monitoring. Our architecture now is what we call

1202
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 11: multipath optics architecture. What that means is that we have

1203
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 11: ten times the number of LEDs and photodiodes and essentially

1204
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:32,440
Speaker 11: they're sending a signal into the skin and getting that

1205
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 11: signal back and computing the changes in the physiology to

1206
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 11: then detect heart rate with very high accuracy. And why

1207
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:44,960
Speaker 11: that architecture works in that, as you called out, like

1208
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 11: more things going on in the back, is it has

1209
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 11: more points on the wrist to detect that. It's not

1210
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 11: now relying on a single point of failure because your

1211
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 11: watch moves in a very microway. When you're running or

1212
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 11: doing any hit like exercises, your watch is slightly moving

1213
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 11: and we want to have as asshured a signal across

1214
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:04,959
Speaker 11: multiple points on the risk to get a very clean

1215
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 11: signal and.

1216
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 1: Tell you about is stress tracking because I'm very interested

1217
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:12,240
Speaker 1: in this. I think there's a whole new world of

1218
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:15,440
Speaker 1: people kind of realizing their wellness and their kind of

1219
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 1: mental and also physical wellness.

1220
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 2: So tell you about the stress tracking future.

1221
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 11: Yeah. So the CDA sensor electrodermal sensor at a subcutaneous

1222
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 11: skin level mid detect changes and can then detect if

1223
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 11: there are any events of stress that you're having. It

1224
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 11: could be excitement too, which is great, and then that's

1225
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 11: where the intervention it can suggest is either to go

1226
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 11: to the Relaxed app to just breathe and have a

1227
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 11: couple of minutes of rest time, and or go to

1228
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 11: the fitbit app and log that event. So for me,

1229
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 11: for example, sometimes it's just excitement that is detected as

1230
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 11: which is also a very good thing for me to log,

1231
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:56,160
Speaker 11: which is I'm super excited right now, and it could

1232
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 11: be because we had a really good time as a family,

1233
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:02,600
Speaker 11: or like we just achieved something as a team, or

1234
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 11: conversely it's just a stressful event and it then gives

1235
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:07,920
Speaker 11: me a time series for me to see and then

1236
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 11: correlate today obviously you can see in the future things

1237
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 11: could look very different today. I can manually correlate that

1238
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 11: to my sleep score and my heart rate variability. If

1239
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 11: I'm having too many stressful events, I can then correlate

1240
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 11: maybe my sleep score is going down. So these are

1241
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 11: very helpful insights for me to know about my broader wellness.

1242
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 1: Now there's a cellular version of this watch which is

1243
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 1: sort of independent, and then a version that does not

1244
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:34,720
Speaker 1: have cellulars that right, That is right.

1245
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:37,920
Speaker 11: So we have a Wi Fi which is Wi Fi GPS,

1246
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 11: and then we have Wi Fi GPS and LT which

1247
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 11: is that cellular connected?

1248
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 2: And what do you recommend people choose the cellular version for?

1249
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 2: Like what you know?

1250
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 1: Sometimes you get a lot of questions, people say, why

1251
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:48,680
Speaker 1: would I get the cellular versus the standard Wi Fi?

1252
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 1: What do you think makes that delineation worth it?

1253
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 11: Yeah, So there are a few times where you feel

1254
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 11: like it's okay to be without your phone, and that's

1255
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 11: where the cellular connected watch comes and to still have

1256
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 11: that peace of mind that you're connected and you can

1257
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 11: connect to the things you care about. So a few

1258
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 11: examples of that. From a personal standpoint, I generally walk

1259
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:14,760
Speaker 11: with my kids in the evening. During weekdays and certainly weekends,

1260
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 11: where I feel that it's a twenty thirty minute walk

1261
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:19,760
Speaker 11: around the neighborhood, I probably don't want to carry my phone,

1262
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 11: and I'm fully in the present with them. But then

1263
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 11: I also know that my wife can reach me anytime

1264
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 11: or any other person because I'm fully connected. Conversely, I

1265
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:31,320
Speaker 11: can connect with them too if needed. Same thing, if

1266
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 11: I'm going on a run, likely I'm not going to

1267
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 11: carry my phone. It's a thing that probably just adds

1268
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 11: to my bulk. And same thing with weekend excursions or hike.

1269
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:43,680
Speaker 11: So there are all these things in our daily lives

1270
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 11: where we feel that we would like to have that

1271
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 11: freedom for a few moments where we are with our

1272
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 11: loved ones or with ourselves, and then still having that

1273
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 11: peace of mind that you're connected.

1274
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:55,840
Speaker 2: All right.

1275
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: There you have it Google pixel Watch too forty nine

1276
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:01,680

01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 1: I will be the highest jumper in this entire room.

1301
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 1: And I am most of the time. People are very surprised,

1304
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 1: We gotta play it, Okay, you you find it and

1305
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 1: I'll and then uh, let's take Kevin in San Diego.

1306
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:41,959
Speaker 1: I feel bad for the people on the podcast because

1307
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 1: they don't hear the music, so they get this part.

1308
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 1: They get one side of the conversation. Here, Kevin, you're

1309
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:48,200
Speaker 1: on with.

1310
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 5: Rich Any white man can't chap you know that?

1311
01:03:53,520 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 1: Well, this one can so much to my wife's chagrin, right.

1312
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 5: Uh, it's all of it. Yeah, my ex girlfriend hacked

1313
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 5: my iPhone. Uh, and she's just wreaking havoc every day

1314
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:13,400
Speaker 5: on my life with this. We we're so connected to

1315
01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 5: our phone and every way at work and just banking

1316
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 5: and everything. She she probably got my passwords back in

1317
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:23,400
Speaker 5: the day when I used to spend the night at

1318
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 5: her house and I used to keep them in a

1319
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 5: book in my overnight bag, and she just started hacking

1320
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:31,240
Speaker 5: all my accounts and so I've been locking it down

1321
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 5: since we broke up, changed all my passwords. But she

1322
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 5: knows where I'm at, how much money I spend when

1323
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:39,360
Speaker 5: I go shopping.

1324
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 2: Sounds like you're still married.

1325
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 5: I know we were never married.

1326
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:52,600
Speaker 1: Okay, so I was gonna say it just sounds like marriage, right, Okay, So.

1327
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 5: I was able to break up with her, but uh, yeah,

1328
01:04:57,280 --> 01:05:00,120
Speaker 5: I've been I've been on the phone with Apple for

1329
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:03,480
Speaker 5: two hours at a time, with their tech support, Verizon

1330
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 5: tech support. Nobody seems to be able to help me.

1331
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:11,120
Speaker 5: She's gotten into my phone, I got she hacked my email.

1332
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 5: I've got a private email. She acted that even when

1333
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 5: I was on tech support with my private email company

1334
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:22,479
Speaker 5: and they were mirroring my phone seeing what I was doing,

1335
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:24,920
Speaker 5: and I would block her, go out of that page

1336
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:27,400
Speaker 5: and go back, and she was unblocked, and they're like, oh,

1337
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:29,080
Speaker 5: I've never seen that before.

1338
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:32,040
Speaker 2: I'm like, thought, great, well, it sounds go ahead.

1339
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:36,720
Speaker 1: It sounds like she has access to your passwords from

1340
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:39,560
Speaker 1: that book and she got them all and now she

1341
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:42,600
Speaker 1: is using them to her advantage. So I think that

1342
01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 1: the main thing that you need to do is that

1343
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 1: you have to regain control of your accounts. And so

1344
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 1: what that requires is a lot Number one. You're using

1345
01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:56,600
Speaker 1: an iPhone, you said, so you've got to change your

1346
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 1: Apple ID password immediately. That is going to be the

1347
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 1: number one thing. So the other thing I'd recommend before

1348
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:05,960
Speaker 1: you even do that is go into your settings and

1349
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:10,640
Speaker 1: tap your Apple ID and then go on that list

1350
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 1: of devices. And so if you look at the main

1351
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:16,240
Speaker 1: page of your Apple ID, it'll give you a list

1352
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:19,840
Speaker 1: of all of the devices that are on your Apple account,

1353
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:22,800
Speaker 1: and I'm looking at mine. I've got my iPhone, I've

1354
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 1: got my computer, I've got an iPad, I've got another iPhone,

1355
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 1: which actually now that you remind me, I need to

1356
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:28,480
Speaker 1: get rid of.

1357
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 2: I've got an Apple TV, I've got a watch, and.

1358
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 1: So all of these things are they all have access

1359
01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:39,440
Speaker 1: to your account. So her phone may be on there

1360
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:41,880
Speaker 1: because at one point she may have logged in and

1361
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 1: gotten access to your Apple ID that way. So that's

1362
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:48,480
Speaker 1: number one. You can tap one of these devices and

1363
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:51,160
Speaker 1: it will say, let me just tap one of these

1364
01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:54,480
Speaker 1: and it will say remove from account. And so then

1365
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 1: you can remove that from account now because she has

1366
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:00,400
Speaker 1: access to that. There's also another place to look. It's

1367
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:03,200
Speaker 1: called find my. So if you go in to find my,

1368
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:06,960
Speaker 1: you'll see all the devices on your account and find my.

1369
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:11,160
Speaker 1: If there's one that you don't recognize there, you definitely

1370
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:14,400
Speaker 1: want to remove that item. So she could have put

1371
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:16,960
Speaker 1: an air tag on your account, and that air tag

1372
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 1: is tracking your location, and because it's on your account,

1373
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:22,520
Speaker 1: your phone is not telling you about it, and so

1374
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:25,600
Speaker 1: that's another way that she could potentially see where you're

1375
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:30,840
Speaker 1: at so I think that whatever she has done is

1376
01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:33,920
Speaker 1: clean up a ble. You can clean this mess up

1377
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:37,240
Speaker 1: by changing your Apple ID. As soon as you change

1378
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:40,800
Speaker 1: your Apple ID, you want to enable two factor authentication

1379
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:44,320
Speaker 1: on your Apple account if you don't have that already enabled,

1380
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:47,960
Speaker 1: and that is going to make sure that if she

1381
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:51,320
Speaker 1: had even if she figured out your new password, which

1382
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:53,240
Speaker 1: by the way, it should be a strong password, she

1383
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 1: will not be able to use that to log in

1384
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:57,480
Speaker 1: because she's not going to get that secondary code. And

1385
01:07:57,680 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 1: even if her device was set up as a trusted

1386
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:04,400
Speaker 1: device on her account, which is your account, because you

1387
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:08,800
Speaker 1: got rid of any devices that are not recognizable, her

1388
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 1: device would no longer get that secondary security code. Now,

1389
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:15,800
Speaker 1: once you do that, I would actually take a third

1390
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:20,040
Speaker 1: step and I would go through and format your phone

1391
01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:25,679
Speaker 1: and restart everything, relog in from fresh from the basics.

1392
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:28,519
Speaker 1: So go through and just download all the apps you

1393
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:31,400
Speaker 1: have and relog into those. Now, when it comes to

1394
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 1: things like your email, what you want to do is

1395
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:37,200
Speaker 1: you want to log out of other locations. So pretty

1396
01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:41,040
Speaker 1: much every app nowadays has some sort of setting in

1397
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 1: the account settings that lets you log out of all

1398
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:46,800
Speaker 1: active sessions. And what that means is and I was

1399
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:49,639
Speaker 1: looking at this on my phone today. When you log

1400
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 1: into things, they stay for a long time until you

1401
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:55,320
Speaker 1: log out. So she may have an old phone or

1402
01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:57,960
Speaker 1: an old computer, or an old web browser that's still

1403
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:01,200
Speaker 1: logged into your Facebook, or that's still logged into your Gmail,

1404
01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:03,840
Speaker 1: and so she can still access that, and unless you

1405
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:06,519
Speaker 1: get rid of those, she's still going to be able

1406
01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 1: to access those.

1407
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:09,000
Speaker 2: If that's what's happening here.

1408
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:11,680
Speaker 1: Now, if you look on the bottom of Gmail, it

1409
01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:15,040
Speaker 1: should say where you're logged in. And if you want

1410
01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:18,800
Speaker 1: to log out of other accounts, just Google, you know,

1411
01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:23,360
Speaker 1: Google log out of all active devices or Spotify log

1412
01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 1: out of all active devices. All these accounts typically have

1413
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:29,599
Speaker 1: a way to log out of all the different places

1414
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:33,280
Speaker 1: that you've logged in. Instagram has it, Facebook has it.

1415
01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:34,840
Speaker 1: Now you're going to have to re log in, so

1416
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:37,240
Speaker 1: you better know your new password or maybe change the

1417
01:09:37,280 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 1: password before you do this. But Kevin, these are all

1418
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 1: things that I know that you're getting the messages from,

1419
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:50,320
Speaker 1: you know, your cellular company and Apple. But these are

1420
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 1: the steps you have to take, and once you take

1421
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:57,439
Speaker 1: these steps, you will be cleaned from her existence on

1422
01:09:57,520 --> 01:10:00,280
Speaker 1: your devices. There's no reason why someone should be able

1423
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:02,800
Speaker 1: to continue to have access once you do these things. Now,

1424
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:05,240
Speaker 1: when it comes to your cell phone carrier, if she

1425
01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:08,160
Speaker 1: has access to that on the backside, you're log in

1426
01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:12,000
Speaker 1: and password for that. Go into where whether it's Verizon,

1427
01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 1: whether it's AT and T T Mobile, go in, change

1428
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:17,320
Speaker 1: your password there, and also set up a PIN on

1429
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:19,760
Speaker 1: your account. So if you set up a PIN on

1430
01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 1: your account, she's not gonna be able to log in

1431
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 1: unless she has that pin or change anything because of that.

1432
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:28,479
Speaker 1: And also set up two factor there too. So those

1433
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:31,160
Speaker 1: are the steps to take. I think that this is

1434
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:33,880
Speaker 1: easily fixable. It just takes a little bit of work.

1435
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:35,840
Speaker 1: You've got to change those passwords. You've got to log

1436
01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:39,800
Speaker 1: out of the active sessions anywhere else and make sure

1437
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:42,599
Speaker 1: that no other devices accept the one that you want

1438
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:45,759
Speaker 1: is logged into your account. So thanks Kevin for the question,

1439
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:48,360
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Sorry for the breakup, but it sounds like

1440
01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:52,559
Speaker 1: if she's really doing this stuff, you're avoiding a big

1441
01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:59,840
Speaker 1: nightmare there by not getting married. Chrome book. Let me

1442
01:10:59,880 --> 01:11:02,719
Speaker 1: just quickly talk about chromebooks. You know, chromebooks are known

1443
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:07,880
Speaker 1: for being really simple, easy, they run software, they don't

1444
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:11,479
Speaker 1: really have viruses, but they've been underpowered, and Google knows

1445
01:11:11,479 --> 01:11:13,160
Speaker 1: that a lot of you know, schools use them and

1446
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:15,040
Speaker 1: things like that. People get these chromebooks, they spend a

1447
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:16,479
Speaker 1: couple hundred bucks on them, and they get them, and

1448
01:11:16,479 --> 01:11:19,040
Speaker 1: they're kind of slow and like sluggish. And so now

1449
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:22,880
Speaker 1: Google has this new spec called Chromebook Plus. And so

1450
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 1: this is a signifier that tells you this chromebook is

1451
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:30,439
Speaker 1: actually pretty decent. And so what does a Chromebook Plus have.

1452
01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:32,800
Speaker 1: It's got a starting price of three hundred and ninety

1453
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:35,759
Speaker 1: nine dollars, it's got double the performance, memory, and storage

1454
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:40,200
Speaker 1: compared to regular chromebooks, guaranteed hardware specs including Intel Core

1455
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:44,040
Speaker 1: I three, AMD rise In three, eight gigabytes of RAM

1456
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:46,559
Speaker 1: and one hundred and twenty eight gigabytes of storage, a

1457
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:51,360
Speaker 1: ten ADP webcam. And because it's got these specs, it

1458
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:54,160
Speaker 1: can have new AI features that Google says they will

1459
01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:58,520
Speaker 1: build into these things. These are available starting October eighth,

1460
01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:01,720
Speaker 1: and some existing chromebooks, if they have these specs, we'll

1461
01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:03,920
Speaker 1: get that Chromebook Plus software update.

1462
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:06,280
Speaker 2: So it just means that it's going to be a

1463
01:12:06,439 --> 01:12:07,599
Speaker 2: higher end system.

1464
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:10,000
Speaker 1: So if you want the best chromebook you can get,

1465
01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:13,240
Speaker 1: look for a Chromebook Plus in the future.

1466
01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:15,920
Speaker 2: I think this was a smart move by Google. Triple

1467
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 2: A rich.

1468
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 1: One O one eighty eight seven four to two four.

1469
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:22,439
Speaker 2: One zero one. You are listening to rich on Tech

1470
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:24,679
Speaker 2: all right?

1471
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 1: Now we have a new song I can shuffle to

1472
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:28,080
Speaker 1: at the next wedding.

1473
01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:28,599
Speaker 2: I go to.

1474
01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:34,000
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging

1475
01:12:34,040 --> 01:12:37,200
Speaker 1: out with you talking technology at Triple eight rich one

1476
01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:37,599
Speaker 1: oh one.

1477
01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:40,639
Speaker 2: You got plenty more in the show.

1478
01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:45,519
Speaker 1: Sam Rubin KTLA entertainment anchor is going to join me

1479
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:48,840
Speaker 1: to discuss his experience seeing you two at the Las

1480
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 1: Vegas Sphere and then ate, By the way, I don't

1481
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:54,680
Speaker 1: like that word sphere. Isn't it really really tough to

1482
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:58,360
Speaker 1: say sphere? Like it's just one of those words that

1483
01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:01,960
Speaker 1: I'd rather not say. Globe, Yeah, so much easier globe.

1484
01:13:01,960 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 1: It just rolls off the tongue. Sphere is like you

1485
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:06,519
Speaker 1: have to actually sit there and think about how to

1486
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:10,880
Speaker 1: say it. David Huerta is the senior digital security trainer

1487
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:13,360
Speaker 1: at Freedom of the Press Foundation. He is going to

1488
01:13:13,439 --> 01:13:15,840
Speaker 1: join us for a very important conversation later this hour

1489
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:19,960
Speaker 1: about how to pick the best VPN and some of

1490
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:24,040
Speaker 1: the stories I'll still talk about ring they're giving away

1491
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:27,679
Speaker 1: a million bucks if you catch an alien on your

1492
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:33,960
Speaker 1: ring camera. And Samsung actually has some new products. These

1493
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:36,599
Speaker 1: are the Fan Addition products, and I'll tell you about

1494
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:40,640
Speaker 1: them because they're actually really good and they're inexpensive. But

1495
01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:43,360
Speaker 1: first let's go to Jim and Costa Mesa. Jim, you're

1496
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:43,880
Speaker 1: on with Rich?

1497
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:48,559
Speaker 8: Yeah, how you doing? I have a question. I I'm

1498
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:50,960
Speaker 8: seventy four years old, but for my age, I think

1499
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 8: I'm pretty good with technology. And early on I had

1500
01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:57,320
Speaker 8: an iPhone and was into the Mac, you know, the

1501
01:13:57,360 --> 01:14:03,479
Speaker 8: Apple vironment, but business kind of had me transfer to

1502
01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:08,160
Speaker 8: PC because that's just what most of the companies used. Well,

1503
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:13,120
Speaker 8: when smartphones came out, I went to androids. So to me,

1504
01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:16,800
Speaker 8: the Androids it's just a better open system. What I

1505
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:21,000
Speaker 8: love to do is put my documents, photos and music

1506
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:24,439
Speaker 8: all on an SD card. And so when I get

1507
01:14:24,479 --> 01:14:28,719
Speaker 8: a new phone, I simply log into my Gmail account

1508
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:33,400
Speaker 8: and my Microsoft account, put the SIM card in and

1509
01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:36,320
Speaker 8: SD card. I'm ready to go. I never have to

1510
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:39,639
Speaker 8: go to a genius bar or you spend a lot

1511
01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:41,880
Speaker 8: of time anywhere. I do it all at home. So

1512
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:46,160
Speaker 8: my question is what am I missing by not having

1513
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:49,800
Speaker 8: an iPhone? Because I'm very happy with the Android system.

1514
01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:52,400
Speaker 8: I know I save a lot of money by staying

1515
01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:56,160
Speaker 8: on Android, but what do I really miss? I don't FaceTime.

1516
01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:59,600
Speaker 8: I just wonder the features that would.

1517
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:02,679
Speaker 2: Me to want to move good question.

1518
01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:04,479
Speaker 1: I think it's a question that a lot of people

1519
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:09,240
Speaker 1: wonder that are Android users because you hear about the

1520
01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:11,479
Speaker 1: iPhone so much, and I kind of talked about this

1521
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:14,080
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier, but there's this like there's this

1522
01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:18,120
Speaker 1: kind of it's almost like a social construct in America,

1523
01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:19,679
Speaker 1: at least not so much for the rest of the world,

1524
01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:22,960
Speaker 1: but in America, the iPhone is kind of like the

1525
01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 1: top device. And so not just the iPhone, but also

1526
01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:31,240
Speaker 1: I message and FaceTime to a lesser extent, I don't

1527
01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:33,400
Speaker 1: really I think I've done like three FaceTime calls in

1528
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:34,040
Speaker 1: my entire life.

1529
01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:35,240
Speaker 2: I don't really use FaceTime.

1530
01:15:35,439 --> 01:15:38,280
Speaker 1: And again I'm prefacing all of this with the fact

1531
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:44,439
Speaker 1: that I like third party platforms that work across both sides.

1532
01:15:44,520 --> 01:15:47,360
Speaker 1: So when I choose a product, I choose something that

1533
01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:50,639
Speaker 1: works on both iPhone and Android, because A I'm switching

1534
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:53,599
Speaker 1: between both all the time, and B I just don't

1535
01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:56,920
Speaker 1: want one company to have that much control in my life.

1536
01:15:57,240 --> 01:16:00,439
Speaker 1: And when you go iPhone, You're pretty much like seating

1537
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:02,599
Speaker 1: a lot of control to Apple. And I think that's

1538
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:06,880
Speaker 1: what it really comes down to. When you meet certain

1539
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:10,080
Speaker 1: people like that are a little bit more techy. A

1540
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:13,280
Speaker 1: lot of times they like Android because they have full control, Jim,

1541
01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:16,240
Speaker 1: Like you said, they like to control their own destiny.

1542
01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:18,519
Speaker 1: They like to do things the way they want. I mean,

1543
01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:20,839
Speaker 1: just look at the way you have to arrange icons

1544
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:25,280
Speaker 1: on the home screen on the iPhone versus Android. Android

1545
01:16:25,400 --> 01:16:28,720
Speaker 1: you can place an icon wherever you want. iPhone you

1546
01:16:28,760 --> 01:16:31,000
Speaker 1: cannot do that. And that may surprise some of you

1547
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:34,080
Speaker 1: Android folks. You're like, wait, what, Yes, you have to

1548
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:36,559
Speaker 1: place the icon where Apple wants you to do it.

1549
01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:40,360
Speaker 1: Now on the flip side, So what does iPhone offer?

1550
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:43,640
Speaker 1: I think iPhone offers that I message world, where you know,

1551
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:45,920
Speaker 1: you can text easily and it's simple and you can

1552
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 1: send big videos. And that's just something that Apple has

1553
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:53,000
Speaker 1: constructed as a it's almost fake. It's like Apple made

1554
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:57,160
Speaker 1: that barrier itself. So everyone else in the world uses

1555
01:16:57,160 --> 01:17:00,519
Speaker 1: something like WhatsApp or you know, a different messaging program,

1556
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:06,160
Speaker 1: or even SMS, which is rcs now. Apple also has,

1557
01:17:06,200 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 1: you know, they have new stuff every year. They've got

1558
01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:11,400
Speaker 1: an ecosystem that just works, so it's very simple. Their

1559
01:17:11,479 --> 01:17:14,559
Speaker 1: software updates work on the same day for every device,

1560
01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:16,479
Speaker 1: so you don't have to weigh or you don't have

1561
01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:18,479
Speaker 1: to say, oh, i'm running this phone, i haven't gotten

1562
01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:21,080
Speaker 1: my software update yet because I'm on Samsung, I'm on OnePlus,

1563
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 1: I'm on Google, I'm on Motorola. All those manufacturers do

1564
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:27,439
Speaker 1: software updates at different times. So some people just like

1565
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:30,800
Speaker 1: the fact that Apple just works the same for everyone

1566
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 1: all the time. Now, what's the advantage of Android? Well,

1567
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:38,400
Speaker 1: number one, you control your own destiny with Android. It

1568
01:17:38,439 --> 01:17:40,640
Speaker 1: works the way you want it to work. There's a

1569
01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:43,880
Speaker 1: lot of little things on iPhone that don't work the

1570
01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:46,360
Speaker 1: way they work on Android. Because Android is a little

1571
01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 1: bit more open, it's a little bit more user friendly

1572
01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:52,679
Speaker 1: when it comes to customizing how you want things to work.

1573
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:55,080
Speaker 1: You want a different keyboard for a long time, you

1574
01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:57,120
Speaker 1: couldn't do that on iPhone. And by the way, if

1575
01:17:57,120 --> 01:17:59,040
Speaker 1: you do that on iPhone, it still doesn't work as

1576
01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:01,760
Speaker 1: well as it doesn't Android. You know, when it comes

1577
01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:04,200
Speaker 1: to voice assistance, you can choose which one you want

1578
01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:07,599
Speaker 1: to work on your Android phone, and on iPhone you've

1579
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:10,320
Speaker 1: got Siri and so now all of these things are

1580
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:11,879
Speaker 1: getting a little bit better on iPhone.

1581
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:12,639
Speaker 2: Over the years.

1582
01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:15,000
Speaker 1: You used to not be able to set your own

1583
01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:18,639
Speaker 1: mail application or your own default browser. Apple has made

1584
01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:21,879
Speaker 1: it easier to do that, although I argue that sometimes

1585
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:24,880
Speaker 1: those don't work as well as the built in native

1586
01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:29,720
Speaker 1: applications like Safari or by the way, tried navigating with

1587
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:34,360
Speaker 1: anything using except Apple Maps on the iPhone doesn't work

1588
01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:37,840
Speaker 1: if you're clicking any sort of link, and I don't

1589
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:40,200
Speaker 1: want to This is getting a little bit too in depth,

1590
01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:45,559
Speaker 1: but you know, developers have found ways around Apple's weird rules,

1591
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:49,400
Speaker 1: and a lot of Apple's weird rules come down to security,

1592
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:54,240
Speaker 1: and they they've engineered this phone so everything sort of

1593
01:18:54,320 --> 01:18:56,920
Speaker 1: runs in its own sandbox. So when you run an

1594
01:18:56,920 --> 01:18:59,720
Speaker 1: app on the iPhone, it's not really interacting with other

1595
01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:02,479
Speaker 1: apps like it is on the Android side. And so

1596
01:19:02,560 --> 01:19:05,599
Speaker 1: what does that do that protects the user from things

1597
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 1: like spam or sorry, viruses Like there's really not a

1598
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:12,479
Speaker 1: virus for the iPhone because it wouldn't really work. And

1599
01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:14,880
Speaker 1: all those systems that say they've got anti virus for

1600
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:17,880
Speaker 1: the iPhone, those are all bogus because they can't even scan.

1601
01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:20,760
Speaker 1: They can't even get access to the iPhone system to

1602
01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:23,280
Speaker 1: be able to scan for viruses. And so if you're

1603
01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:25,960
Speaker 1: getting those kind of programs on your iPhone, you don't

1604
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:29,360
Speaker 1: need them. So my point is, I think it really

1605
01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:32,120
Speaker 1: comes down to what you want. Jim, I don't think

1606
01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:35,479
Speaker 1: you're losing anything on Android versus iOS. It sounds like

1607
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:37,760
Speaker 1: you're very happy with what you've got. It sounds like

1608
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:40,120
Speaker 1: you like the system that you have set up. And

1609
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:42,120
Speaker 1: when it comes to things like the Genius Bar and

1610
01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:45,320
Speaker 1: the iPhone, the Apple stores and all the costs associated

1611
01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:50,000
Speaker 1: with being an Apple fan, some people like that because,

1612
01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:52,120
Speaker 1: for instance, when I was in Japan and I had

1613
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:55,080
Speaker 1: a problem with my laptop, I made an appointment at

1614
01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:57,320
Speaker 1: the Genius Bar and I brought it in without even

1615
01:19:57,320 --> 01:19:59,960
Speaker 1: thinking if the genius spoke English or Japanese.

1616
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:01,080
Speaker 2: It just worked.

1617
01:20:01,439 --> 01:20:05,400
Speaker 1: The person spoke English. And so again Apple has built

1618
01:20:05,439 --> 01:20:13,200
Speaker 1: something that's really interesting, that's really the customer friendly and simple,

1619
01:20:13,720 --> 01:20:16,720
Speaker 1: and a lot of people like that, and that's just

1620
01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:19,840
Speaker 1: absolutely fine. I'm not faulting them for that, but I

1621
01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:22,720
Speaker 1: am going to point out the differences between what you

1622
01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:25,200
Speaker 1: get on iPhone and what you get on Android, and

1623
01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:27,840
Speaker 1: everyone has a different thing that they like a different

1624
01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:31,839
Speaker 1: way to run their life, and that's fine. Now on Android,

1625
01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:34,200
Speaker 1: you know, there are things that you can do that

1626
01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:36,639
Speaker 1: you can't do on iPhone. On iPhone, there are apps

1627
01:20:36,680 --> 01:20:39,040
Speaker 1: that you know, a lot of developers develop first for

1628
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:42,280
Speaker 1: iPhone and then maybe they'll develop for Android later on.

1629
01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:45,160
Speaker 1: And again, people like to be able to bring in

1630
01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:47,240
Speaker 1: their phone to the Apple Store if they have a problem,

1631
01:20:47,600 --> 01:20:49,080
Speaker 1: or they like to ask a friend if they have

1632
01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:51,880
Speaker 1: an issue. If you have this really unique Android phone

1633
01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:53,760
Speaker 1: that you love. Let's say you have the Nothing phone too.

1634
01:20:54,040 --> 01:20:56,559
Speaker 1: It's a cool phone, it's a great phone. But who

1635
01:20:56,600 --> 01:20:57,800
Speaker 1: are you going to ask if you have a problem

1636
01:20:57,840 --> 01:20:59,680
Speaker 1: with that phone, because your friends probably don't have it.

1637
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:01,439
Speaker 1: As with iPhone, you're gonna say, hey, do you know

1638
01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:03,040
Speaker 1: how to do this on the iPhone? They say, oh yeah, sure,

1639
01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:05,320
Speaker 1: here're going to this setting. So Jim, those are just

1640
01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:06,920
Speaker 1: a few of the reasons. But at the end of

1641
01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:09,640
Speaker 1: the day, I think that it's great that we have competition.

1642
01:21:10,760 --> 01:21:13,800
Speaker 1: I think it's great to have choice, and I think

1643
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:17,160
Speaker 1: it's great if you like iPhone, fine, if you like Android,

1644
01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:20,680
Speaker 1: that's absolutely fine. I don't think you're missing out in

1645
01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:23,320
Speaker 1: either way. Apple's marketing is just a little bit stronger.

1646
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:25,599
Speaker 1: So it feels like there's a little bit more going

1647
01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:27,960
Speaker 1: on with the iPhone, which you know in some cases

1648
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:31,840
Speaker 1: there is. Thanks for the question. Speaking of Android, Samsung

1649
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:35,799
Speaker 1: introduced three new products this week. We call this introduction

1650
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:39,120
Speaker 1: via press release. They didn't have a big event or anything,

1651
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:41,120
Speaker 1: but they did put out three new products. One is

1652
01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:44,439
Speaker 1: the Galaxy S twenty three FE. This starts at six

1653
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:48,760
Speaker 1: hundred dollars and this is basically a FE means Fan Edition.

1654
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:53,040
Speaker 1: It's kind of a less expensive version of their flagship device,

1655
01:21:53,240 --> 01:21:55,800
Speaker 1: and it's probably really good. I haven't gotten the phone

1656
01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:58,840
Speaker 1: in yet, but I have gotten the tablet and the earbuds,

1657
01:21:59,240 --> 01:22:00,320
Speaker 1: and so far it took a run.

1658
01:22:00,320 --> 01:22:01,759
Speaker 2: With the earbuds, they are excellent.

1659
01:22:02,840 --> 01:22:06,840
Speaker 1: The Galaxy S twenty three FE has three cameras, it's

1660
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:09,160
Speaker 1: got all the features that you need, it's got a

1661
01:22:09,160 --> 01:22:11,479
Speaker 1: bunch of fun colors, and it's just a little bit cheaper,

1662
01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:13,920
Speaker 1: so it doesn't have like the best specs like the

1663
01:22:14,240 --> 01:22:17,280
Speaker 1: Samsung Galaxy S twenty three Ultra, but it has really

1664
01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:20,479
Speaker 1: good specs and it's like a really good device if

1665
01:22:20,520 --> 01:22:22,920
Speaker 1: you want to spend half the price and still get

1666
01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:26,280
Speaker 1: something that's really good compared to the S twenty three Ultra.

1667
01:22:27,200 --> 01:22:30,559
Speaker 1: Then they've got the Galaxy tab S nine FE and

1668
01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:32,600
Speaker 1: this is a tablet that starts at four hundred and

1669
01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:35,600
Speaker 1: fifty dollars. It's got up to twenty hours of video playback.

1670
01:22:35,920 --> 01:22:38,200
Speaker 1: It's available in a bunch of different colors as well.

1671
01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:40,840
Speaker 1: I personally think that the iPhone is the way to

1672
01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:43,200
Speaker 1: go when it comes to a tablet or sorry, the iPad,

1673
01:22:43,560 --> 01:22:46,439
Speaker 1: But I will test this out, put it through its paces.

1674
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:48,880
Speaker 1: But I just think that the tablet apps on the

1675
01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:52,679
Speaker 1: iPad are the best in class and Android really needs

1676
01:22:52,680 --> 01:22:54,240
Speaker 1: to step things up when it comes to that, and

1677
01:22:54,240 --> 01:22:57,120
Speaker 1: then maybe I'll recommend Android tablets. When it comes to

1678
01:22:57,200 --> 01:22:59,599
Speaker 1: these Galaxy buds, FI put them in my ears today,

1679
01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:00,519
Speaker 1: took with them.

1680
01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:01,360
Speaker 2: They are excellent.

1681
01:23:01,920 --> 01:23:06,040
Speaker 1: So ninety nine bucks gives you thirty hours of audio playback.

1682
01:23:06,479 --> 01:23:09,920
Speaker 1: They've got three microphones, they've got active noise cancelation. They've

1683
01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:12,320
Speaker 1: got ambient sound, which lets you hear what's going on

1684
01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:15,519
Speaker 1: around you. They don't feel like you're underwater with a

1685
01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:17,920
Speaker 1: lot of the cheap noise canceling headphones. They feel like

1686
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:21,360
Speaker 1: you're underwater and your nose is clogged up. These sound perfect.

1687
01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:23,800
Speaker 1: They fit in my ears great, they did not fall out.

1688
01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:26,760
Speaker 1: They're wireless earbuds. They start at ninety nine bucks. I

1689
01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:31,240
Speaker 1: think if you have Samsung specific phone, these are a

1690
01:23:31,360 --> 01:23:35,880
Speaker 1: great companion. The Galaxy Buds FE again, will be available

1691
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:41,280
Speaker 1: online on October fifth, so that's already passed. So is

1692
01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:44,920
Speaker 1: the tablet and the Galaxy S twenty three FE. The

1693
01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:48,719
Speaker 1: phone is going to be available on October twenty six.

1694
01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:53,360
Speaker 1: So again look into this Galaxy Fan Edition products. They

1695
01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:55,240
Speaker 1: skipped a couple of years. They had them a couple

1696
01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:57,160
Speaker 1: of years ago, they skipped and now they're back. And

1697
01:23:57,200 --> 01:23:59,760
Speaker 1: I think that they're back because people are spending a

1698
01:23:59,760 --> 01:24:01,760
Speaker 1: lot of money and they're kind of sick of it,

1699
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:04,400
Speaker 1: and so Samsung realizes, hey, you know what, people want

1700
01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:07,599
Speaker 1: an alternative to these ultra premium devices, but they still

1701
01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:10,240
Speaker 1: want something that has a lot of these top tier

1702
01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:12,280
Speaker 1: features in a lower price point.

1703
01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:13,920
Speaker 2: You're listening to rich on Tech.

1704
01:24:13,920 --> 01:24:16,800
Speaker 1: Coming up next, we'll talk to Sam Rubin about the

1705
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:23,040
Speaker 1: sphere in Las Vegas. Welcome back to rich on Tech.

1706
01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:27,000
Speaker 1: Talk in technology with you.

1707
01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:27,759
Speaker 2: Coming up.

1708
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:30,840
Speaker 1: Towards the end of the show, we're going to talk

1709
01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:34,120
Speaker 1: to David Huerta, who is going to talk about VPNs

1710
01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:36,960
Speaker 1: and when you need one. Now, one of the things

1711
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:40,200
Speaker 1: that's going on in Las Vegas. Las Vegas always looking

1712
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:42,080
Speaker 1: for like new attractions, and they've got one. It's called

1713
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:46,120
Speaker 1: the MSG Sphere. This is a giant I'm sure you've

1714
01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:50,960
Speaker 1: seen the videos online. It's this giant like ground building

1715
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:55,360
Speaker 1: that is going to house concerts and also video performances

1716
01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:57,960
Speaker 1: and like all kinds of stuff. Like the entertainment that

1717
01:24:57,960 --> 01:25:00,000
Speaker 1: they're creating for is brand new because it's a whole

1718
01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:03,360
Speaker 1: new format. So I went into this thing when it

1719
01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:06,200
Speaker 1: was being built and got like a behind the scenes

1720
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:09,120
Speaker 1: tour before it was finished. Now it is finished, and

1721
01:25:09,160 --> 01:25:12,280
Speaker 1: they had the opening concert, which was you two. Last

1722
01:25:12,360 --> 01:25:16,280
Speaker 1: night they had the opening I guess experience it was

1723
01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:19,320
Speaker 1: like a taped experience. I could not make that, unfortunately,

1724
01:25:19,720 --> 01:25:21,760
Speaker 1: but I did talk to my pal Sam Rubin at

1725
01:25:21,840 --> 01:25:26,839
Speaker 1: KTLA about his experience with you two at the Sphere.

1726
01:25:27,640 --> 01:25:30,840
Speaker 1: Sam Rubin is the entertainment reporter for KTLA, and you

1727
01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:34,320
Speaker 1: were at the very first show at the Sphere, you two.

1728
01:25:34,680 --> 01:25:35,879
Speaker 12: It was really remarkable.

1729
01:25:35,880 --> 01:25:38,559
Speaker 13: It's one of those rare circumstances and rich you may

1730
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:40,720
Speaker 13: experience this more than I do at tech shows and

1731
01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:45,080
Speaker 13: things where it is a genuine jaw drop where collectively

1732
01:25:45,240 --> 01:25:49,519
Speaker 13: eighteen thousand people are like, oh wow, so it really

1733
01:25:49,680 --> 01:25:50,120
Speaker 13: is something.

1734
01:25:50,120 --> 01:25:51,040
Speaker 12: I think a lot of people have.

1735
01:25:51,040 --> 01:25:54,280
Speaker 13: Seen the exterior, which is, you know, a giant billboard,

1736
01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:58,200
Speaker 13: and it is cool and inside what is surprising is

1737
01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:00,000
Speaker 13: once you go into the lobby level and by the way,

1738
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:02,360
Speaker 13: one thing which I think is an advantage of a

1739
01:26:02,439 --> 01:26:05,760
Speaker 13: Vegas location. I walked from my hotel easy. You just

1740
01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:07,559
Speaker 13: walk through the back of the Venetian. There you are,

1741
01:26:08,920 --> 01:26:11,519
Speaker 13: and once inside in the lobby part, it was kind

1742
01:26:11,560 --> 01:26:16,640
Speaker 13: of all futury. It's black and red and you know,

1743
01:26:16,760 --> 01:26:21,080
Speaker 13: not wildly distinct from many other venues. Then you go

1744
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:24,639
Speaker 13: through kind of curtains to the seats, and a lot

1745
01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:28,479
Speaker 13: of people have suggested there's an analogy to the Soaring

1746
01:26:28,560 --> 01:26:32,280
Speaker 13: Over California ride that you feel it's not a dissimilar circumstance,

1747
01:26:32,920 --> 01:26:36,320
Speaker 13: but maybe like Soaring in California, it's very it's big

1748
01:26:36,439 --> 01:26:40,880
Speaker 13: and very wide, super duper wide, nine stories tall. And

1749
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:43,960
Speaker 13: what I sat in my seat, what I was looking

1750
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:45,559
Speaker 13: at I thought was.

1751
01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:48,240
Speaker 12: Like you're in the middle of a cement cylinder.

1752
01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:51,200
Speaker 13: I saw the stage and then behind it what looked

1753
01:26:51,240 --> 01:26:54,559
Speaker 13: to me just like cement, and then when you two

1754
01:26:54,760 --> 01:27:00,880
Speaker 13: takes the stage that cement starts to crack and that

1755
01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:05,880
Speaker 13: was a video effect, leading to a parade.

1756
01:27:05,479 --> 01:27:06,960
Speaker 12: Of video effects.

1757
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:11,240
Speaker 13: Some are absolutely stunning and spectacular. I think it's a

1758
01:27:11,479 --> 01:27:15,400
Speaker 13: very interesting place for people to play. I'm not convinced

1759
01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:19,840
Speaker 13: how many artists would really succeed there. Do they have

1760
01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:24,800
Speaker 13: the degree of artistic ambition that you need. But it's

1761
01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:26,160
Speaker 13: you know, you got to see it.

1762
01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:26,920
Speaker 12: It's remarkable.

1763
01:27:27,320 --> 01:27:30,240
Speaker 2: So is the venue too big? Is it?

1764
01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:30,640
Speaker 8: Like?

1765
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:34,000
Speaker 1: Can you just place a standard concert in this venue?

1766
01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:36,760
Speaker 1: I know they're also going to do shows and sort

1767
01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:39,120
Speaker 1: of like movies and three D effects.

1768
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:42,040
Speaker 13: This is the thing the thought that I had, and

1769
01:27:42,080 --> 01:27:44,920
Speaker 13: I really you know, the phrases that had been bandied.

1770
01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:48,400
Speaker 12: About, and it's mind boggling, it's insane.

1771
01:27:48,520 --> 01:27:52,720
Speaker 13: And the thought that I had is just because you

1772
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:55,000
Speaker 13: have a Lamborghini and you can drive it one hundred

1773
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:57,080
Speaker 13: and eighty miles an hour, should you drive it one

1774
01:27:57,160 --> 01:27:58,040
Speaker 13: hundred and eighty miles.

1775
01:27:57,840 --> 01:27:59,200
Speaker 12: An hour all the time?

1776
01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:03,879
Speaker 13: And they just sang and played on stage and those moments,

1777
01:28:04,160 --> 01:28:07,439
Speaker 13: to me were my favorite moments. That's what I liked best.

1778
01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:10,600
Speaker 13: And somehow, you know, it's ten thirty at night in

1779
01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:13,400
Speaker 13: Las Vegas. You're out in the middle of the desert,

1780
01:28:13,400 --> 01:28:16,160
Speaker 13: and between the video screen and the manipulation of the

1781
01:28:16,160 --> 01:28:19,760
Speaker 13: house lights, all of us are outside. And that was

1782
01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:24,519
Speaker 13: unbelievably cool. But again, how many people can do all that?

1783
01:28:24,920 --> 01:28:25,920
Speaker 12: I think there are few.

1784
01:28:26,439 --> 01:28:28,640
Speaker 1: How are the acoustics, Because the sound is supposed to

1785
01:28:28,640 --> 01:28:30,920
Speaker 1: be incredible inside this sphere.

1786
01:28:30,640 --> 01:28:33,880
Speaker 13: I was extremely sensitive to that, and that was the

1787
01:28:33,920 --> 01:28:35,240
Speaker 13: reason primarily I wanted to go.

1788
01:28:35,320 --> 01:28:37,400
Speaker 12: I almost would have gone with my eyes closed.

1789
01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:39,400
Speaker 13: And I sat next to a woman from the Hollywood

1790
01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:43,759
Speaker 13: Reporter who was their technical reporter, and I was because

1791
01:28:43,800 --> 01:28:46,320
Speaker 13: I felt recent shows that I've been lucky to attend

1792
01:28:46,720 --> 01:28:48,759
Speaker 13: Taylor at SOFI, Beyonce at Sofi.

1793
01:28:49,240 --> 01:28:51,000
Speaker 12: Frankly, I thought the sound was terrible. I thought the

1794
01:28:51,040 --> 01:28:55,240
Speaker 12: sound was muddy and not good so Fi, I would agree, Yeah,

1795
01:28:55,439 --> 01:28:57,240
Speaker 12: really super disappointing.

1796
01:28:57,640 --> 01:29:00,160
Speaker 13: You know sometimes when they turn things up really loud

1797
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:01,600
Speaker 13: and it gets over modulated.

1798
01:29:02,360 --> 01:29:03,160
Speaker 12: None of that happened.

1799
01:29:03,160 --> 01:29:06,880
Speaker 13: I thought the acoustics were really good, and this woman,

1800
01:29:06,880 --> 01:29:09,080
Speaker 13: who has more of an expertise than me, I was lucky.

1801
01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:10,599
Speaker 13: I had a very good seat.

1802
01:29:11,200 --> 01:29:13,200
Speaker 12: She said. She walked all over and the sound was

1803
01:29:13,240 --> 01:29:13,959
Speaker 12: good everywhere.

1804
01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:14,840
Speaker 2: Okay.

1805
01:29:14,880 --> 01:29:16,680
Speaker 1: So because it's a new stadium, I feel like every

1806
01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:18,400
Speaker 1: time we have a new opening of a venue, the

1807
01:29:18,439 --> 01:29:20,240
Speaker 1: prices get higher for everything.

1808
01:29:20,640 --> 01:29:21,760
Speaker 2: Did you notice any of that.

1809
01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:25,120
Speaker 12: Well, here's the good thing. It's Vegas, so you can walk.

1810
01:29:25,360 --> 01:29:29,280
Speaker 13: Parking was one hundred dollars, so obviously I wouldn't park there.

1811
01:29:29,920 --> 01:29:33,240
Speaker 12: The concessions, you know, seven.

1812
01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:35,640
Speaker 13: Dollars, bottle of water, you know, ten dollars, so to

1813
01:29:35,760 --> 01:29:39,879
Speaker 13: that kind of thing. But the same kind of SOFI

1814
01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:44,400
Speaker 13: principles come in with nothing cashless. If you carry a bag,

1815
01:29:44,439 --> 01:29:46,360
Speaker 13: it can only be a clear plastic bag of a

1816
01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:51,759
Speaker 13: certain dimension. And the tickets anywhere for you too, anywhere

1817
01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:54,000
Speaker 13: from ninety to five hundred dollars.

1818
01:29:54,720 --> 01:29:57,720
Speaker 12: Again, these three figure concert tickets. That's a kind of

1819
01:29:57,720 --> 01:29:58,920
Speaker 12: a shock and a surprise to me.

1820
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:03,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you're going to a concert. It is very expensive.

1821
01:30:03,080 --> 01:30:08,240
Speaker 1: One hundred dollars for parking. What, Oh my gosh, David

1822
01:30:08,280 --> 01:30:11,240
Speaker 1: where to senior digital security trainer at Freedom of the

1823
01:30:11,320 --> 01:30:13,960
Speaker 1: Press is coming up next to talk about how to

1824
01:30:14,040 --> 01:30:20,280
Speaker 1: pick the best VPN. Thanks Sam Rubin, Welcome back to

1825
01:30:20,720 --> 01:30:22,680
Speaker 1: rich On Tech. Rich Demiro here are going to get

1826
01:30:22,880 --> 01:30:26,000
Speaker 1: right into it because we've got a great guest David

1827
01:30:26,040 --> 01:30:29,880
Speaker 1: where To, senior digital security trainer at the Freedom of

1828
01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:34,440
Speaker 1: the Press Foundation. We get so many questions about VPNs,

1829
01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:38,360
Speaker 1: and David is a great resource to explain when you

1830
01:30:38,439 --> 01:30:41,519
Speaker 1: need one, why you might need one, and maybe even

1831
01:30:41,520 --> 01:30:43,439
Speaker 1: give us some recommendations about what to look for.

1832
01:30:43,800 --> 01:30:45,120
Speaker 2: David, Thanks for joining me today.

1833
01:30:46,680 --> 01:30:47,240
Speaker 4: Thanks Rich.

1834
01:30:48,040 --> 01:30:51,760
Speaker 1: So, first off, let's talk about what a VPN is.

1835
01:30:51,840 --> 01:30:53,439
Speaker 1: Can you explain what that is?

1836
01:30:55,120 --> 01:30:55,759
Speaker 12: Sure things?

1837
01:30:55,800 --> 01:31:00,080
Speaker 9: So VPN just work for virtual private network. Is a

1838
01:31:00,120 --> 01:31:03,360
Speaker 9: way for you to use someone else's Internet connection to

1839
01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:07,160
Speaker 9: access things on the Internet like websites, apps, et cetera.

1840
01:31:10,160 --> 01:31:12,720
Speaker 1: And so what's why would you need that? Like, what's

1841
01:31:12,720 --> 01:31:15,040
Speaker 1: the main benefit of using that for the average consumer?

1842
01:31:16,720 --> 01:31:19,559
Speaker 9: So what's interesting is that VPNs, you know, weren't really

1843
01:31:19,560 --> 01:31:23,719
Speaker 9: designed for things like privacy originally, but they became really

1844
01:31:23,840 --> 01:31:27,679
Speaker 9: useful as ad networks started to track people's as sort

1845
01:31:27,680 --> 01:31:31,080
Speaker 9: of like movements across the Internet. You may have noticed,

1846
01:31:31,120 --> 01:31:33,519
Speaker 9: for example, if you, you know, do a search for

1847
01:31:33,960 --> 01:31:37,599
Speaker 9: specific things, you may see ads for it following. There's

1848
01:31:37,640 --> 01:31:39,920
Speaker 9: a lot of different sort of like things that go

1849
01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:43,840
Speaker 9: into figuring out how to present you those ads, one

1850
01:31:43,840 --> 01:31:47,240
Speaker 9: of which is what is called an IP address, which

1851
01:31:47,280 --> 01:31:49,320
Speaker 9: is basically a little bit like a phone number, Like

1852
01:31:49,400 --> 01:31:52,520
Speaker 9: every computer network in the world has one. So if you're,

1853
01:31:52,680 --> 01:31:57,120
Speaker 9: you know, browsing for shoes, for example, online on your

1854
01:31:57,120 --> 01:32:00,720
Speaker 9: home network, suddenly people also on your home network are

1855
01:32:00,760 --> 01:32:04,679
Speaker 9: going to see ads for shoes and VPNs in this case,

1856
01:32:04,760 --> 01:32:08,879
Speaker 9: let you use somebody else's ipidras, somebody else's Internet connection basically,

1857
01:32:09,040 --> 01:32:13,280
Speaker 9: so that things like advertiser's another other concerns that you

1858
01:32:13,320 --> 01:32:16,120
Speaker 9: might have around privacy are a little bit more obfuscated.

1859
01:32:17,200 --> 01:32:19,479
Speaker 1: So what's the downside? I mean, so that's the positive.

1860
01:32:19,479 --> 01:32:22,160
Speaker 1: It sounds like it protects your privacy. What's the downside

1861
01:32:22,160 --> 01:32:22,960
Speaker 1: of using a VPN?

1862
01:32:24,680 --> 01:32:30,280
Speaker 9: The downside in this case is that they are blocked

1863
01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:33,200
Speaker 9: by a lot of websites. In many cases, some of

1864
01:32:33,240 --> 01:32:35,920
Speaker 9: the most popular apps and websites that you might use

1865
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:40,840
Speaker 9: day to day. For example, Yelp will generally block VPN connections.

1866
01:32:41,040 --> 01:32:43,320
Speaker 9: A lot of streaming services will do the same thing,

1867
01:32:44,240 --> 01:32:47,920
Speaker 9: and it does kind of change the way you see

1868
01:32:48,680 --> 01:32:52,360
Speaker 9: you experience the Internet because websites sometimes look at vp

1869
01:32:52,640 --> 01:32:54,320
Speaker 9: and connections with a little bit of suspicion.

1870
01:32:54,920 --> 01:32:56,720
Speaker 1: It's interesting. I was trying to log into one of

1871
01:32:56,760 --> 01:32:59,200
Speaker 1: my financial websites. The other day and it would not

1872
01:32:59,280 --> 01:33:00,800
Speaker 1: let me and I could not figure out, like what

1873
01:33:00,880 --> 01:33:02,800
Speaker 1: is going on here? And I realized that I had

1874
01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:05,519
Speaker 1: a VPN on and it would not let me do

1875
01:33:05,560 --> 01:33:07,960
Speaker 1: that connection if I had a VPN. Because on the

1876
01:33:07,960 --> 01:33:10,640
Speaker 1: flip side, if you, let's say you had a nefarious

1877
01:33:10,760 --> 01:33:13,679
Speaker 1: VPN that you didn't really know about on your phone,

1878
01:33:13,720 --> 01:33:15,360
Speaker 1: I guess it could be, you know, because they the

1879
01:33:15,439 --> 01:33:17,559
Speaker 1: VPN sort of has access to all of the stuff

1880
01:33:17,600 --> 01:33:18,400
Speaker 1: that you're doing, right.

1881
01:33:19,760 --> 01:33:22,240
Speaker 9: Yeah, And that's a really good point, is that in

1882
01:33:22,280 --> 01:33:25,599
Speaker 9: this case, when you use a VPN, you're changing the

1883
01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:29,960
Speaker 9: direction of your trust from your ant service provider over

1884
01:33:30,040 --> 01:33:33,759
Speaker 9: to the VPN company. So the trustworthiness of that VPN

1885
01:33:33,840 --> 01:33:34,800
Speaker 9: company is paramount.

1886
01:33:34,920 --> 01:33:35,280
Speaker 2: Hmm.

1887
01:33:35,520 --> 01:33:37,679
Speaker 1: Okay, So I guess that brings me to the million

1888
01:33:37,720 --> 01:33:41,559
Speaker 1: dollar question, what should you look for if you're use

1889
01:33:41,640 --> 01:33:43,559
Speaker 1: if you're you know, trying to find a VPN, because

1890
01:33:43,600 --> 01:33:45,519
Speaker 1: there's so many ads for VPNs, becausere's a lot of

1891
01:33:45,520 --> 01:33:48,519
Speaker 1: money in this because anytime you talk privacy, people are like,

1892
01:33:48,560 --> 01:33:50,920
Speaker 1: I want to protect my privacy, so I'll pay for that.

1893
01:33:51,120 --> 01:33:53,920
Speaker 1: And I guess, you know, how do you pick one

1894
01:33:53,960 --> 01:33:54,400
Speaker 1: that's good?

1895
01:33:56,200 --> 01:34:00,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's definitely a challenge there's many, many, many VPNs

1896
01:34:00,080 --> 01:34:02,479
Speaker 9: companies out there. Some of them are a little bit

1897
01:34:02,520 --> 01:34:06,160
Speaker 9: better advertising than others, but some of them are also

1898
01:34:06,200 --> 01:34:09,720
Speaker 9: better at protecting your privacy than others. The things that

1899
01:34:09,880 --> 01:34:12,519
Speaker 9: I always look out for in this case are a

1900
01:34:12,560 --> 01:34:17,360
Speaker 9: combination of two sort of areas, policy and technology. On

1901
01:34:17,400 --> 01:34:20,360
Speaker 9: the privot privacy policy side, you want to look for

1902
01:34:20,439 --> 01:34:24,439
Speaker 9: things like a no logging policy or a low logging policy,

1903
01:34:24,479 --> 01:34:29,200
Speaker 9: where they're not keeping records of your online movements. Sometimes

1904
01:34:29,200 --> 01:34:32,200
Speaker 9: this is verified with a no logging certification done by

1905
01:34:32,200 --> 01:34:35,720
Speaker 9: a third party auditor, sometimes going even further than that

1906
01:34:35,760 --> 01:34:39,040
Speaker 9: with a third party security audit done by a cybersecurity company.

1907
01:34:39,560 --> 01:34:42,679
Speaker 9: Which goes into the technology side of things, is that

1908
01:34:43,680 --> 01:34:46,519
Speaker 9: it's important that whatever VPN company you use, that they

1909
01:34:46,640 --> 01:34:50,160
Speaker 9: be incredibly transparent about the types of technologies they're using.

1910
01:34:50,640 --> 01:34:53,720
Speaker 9: There's a lot of nuance to running a VPN from

1911
01:34:53,720 --> 01:34:57,599
Speaker 9: the back end, and if you have lots and lots

1912
01:34:57,640 --> 01:35:00,360
Speaker 9: of technical documentation available to you, that's probably a good

1913
01:35:00,400 --> 01:35:02,920
Speaker 9: side that they know what they're doing. Generally, though, you

1914
01:35:02,960 --> 01:35:05,720
Speaker 9: want to look for things like WireGuard, which is a

1915
01:35:05,760 --> 01:35:08,479
Speaker 9: faster and more modern sort of way to connect to

1916
01:35:08,520 --> 01:35:12,320
Speaker 9: a VPN, But then also if they do have things

1917
01:35:12,360 --> 01:35:16,160
Speaker 9: like open VPN for example, that that also is fine.

1918
01:35:16,760 --> 01:35:20,320
Speaker 1: Okay, So everyone likes free and of course people are

1919
01:35:20,320 --> 01:35:23,200
Speaker 1: going to gravitate towards free VPNs. I know, like Opera,

1920
01:35:23,280 --> 01:35:26,280
Speaker 1: I think has like a free VPN built in. I know,

1921
01:35:26,360 --> 01:35:28,559
Speaker 1: I get a free VPN with Google. I get like

1922
01:35:28,640 --> 01:35:32,760
Speaker 1: Google one VPN. So tell me about free VPNs and

1923
01:35:32,800 --> 01:35:35,960
Speaker 1: those specifically, like are some better than others when it

1924
01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:38,960
Speaker 1: comes to my privacy and also trust?

1925
01:35:40,240 --> 01:35:43,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, I would say that, you know, as a general

1926
01:35:43,200 --> 01:35:48,040
Speaker 9: rule of them, I generally avoid or recommend avoiding free VPNs,

1927
01:35:48,120 --> 01:35:52,479
Speaker 9: mostly because if their business model is not to you know,

1928
01:35:52,760 --> 01:35:54,920
Speaker 9: take money from you every day, they have to be

1929
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:58,000
Speaker 9: making money by some other way to get to that,

1930
01:35:58,680 --> 01:36:02,800
Speaker 9: to you know, pay their their server builds, and you know,

1931
01:36:02,920 --> 01:36:05,000
Speaker 9: Google in this case has plenty of its own money.

1932
01:36:06,200 --> 01:36:08,680
Speaker 9: Opera I'm less familiar with in this case of what

1933
01:36:08,840 --> 01:36:13,200
Speaker 9: their particular business model is. But in many cases, like

1934
01:36:13,280 --> 01:36:16,600
Speaker 9: the sort of like default setting for business models on

1935
01:36:16,640 --> 01:36:22,240
Speaker 9: the Internet is basically your data and monetizing that. And

1936
01:36:22,400 --> 01:36:23,920
Speaker 9: when you think of the amount of trust that you

1937
01:36:23,960 --> 01:36:26,120
Speaker 9: have to put into a VPN, that becomes a very

1938
01:36:26,120 --> 01:36:31,320
Speaker 9: important question. It's like, okay, is this VPN free for reasons?

1939
01:36:31,560 --> 01:36:34,320
Speaker 9: Is that reason because I am the product here that

1940
01:36:34,479 --> 01:36:37,960
Speaker 9: is actually being sold and that can be, you know,

1941
01:36:38,040 --> 01:36:39,360
Speaker 9: a very precarious situation.

1942
01:36:40,360 --> 01:36:43,120
Speaker 1: So are there any VPNs that you recommend? Can you

1943
01:36:43,160 --> 01:36:44,439
Speaker 1: recommend any that you like?

1944
01:36:46,080 --> 01:36:46,400
Speaker 5: Sure?

1945
01:36:46,640 --> 01:36:48,960
Speaker 9: So you know, I did a lot of research for

1946
01:36:50,920 --> 01:36:53,719
Speaker 9: vp how to basically pick a VPN a while ago,

1947
01:36:54,479 --> 01:36:57,519
Speaker 9: and using sort of those rubrics that I mentioned of

1948
01:36:57,560 --> 01:37:00,240
Speaker 9: like looking at a good privacy policy, looking at sort

1949
01:37:00,240 --> 01:37:03,240
Speaker 9: of competency on the tech side. There is a short

1950
01:37:03,280 --> 01:37:05,880
Speaker 9: list that comes to mind and that keeps kind of

1951
01:37:05,920 --> 01:37:11,599
Speaker 9: coming back in this case, tunnel Bear, IVPN, moll Bad.

1952
01:37:13,080 --> 01:37:15,640
Speaker 9: Not all of these companies are very good at advertising,

1953
01:37:15,800 --> 01:37:18,599
Speaker 9: but from my research, at least from what I can

1954
01:37:18,600 --> 01:37:20,879
Speaker 9: tell for my research, they seem to be pretty competent

1955
01:37:20,920 --> 01:37:22,519
Speaker 9: on the tech and privacy side of things.

1956
01:37:22,640 --> 01:37:24,599
Speaker 1: Okay, so I'm just gonna go through those one more time.

1957
01:37:24,680 --> 01:37:28,559
Speaker 1: You said tunnel Bear, and so that one. Let's see.

1958
01:37:28,640 --> 01:37:31,600
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at the pricing, and it's a cute website,

1959
01:37:31,640 --> 01:37:34,320
Speaker 1: so it's got to it does have a free level,

1960
01:37:34,360 --> 01:37:36,520
Speaker 1: so you can actually try it for free unlimited.

1961
01:37:36,800 --> 01:37:40,320
Speaker 2: Is looks like it's about three thirty three a month,

1962
01:37:40,880 --> 01:37:43,480
Speaker 2: then you've got IPVN.

1963
01:37:42,680 --> 01:37:49,160
Speaker 1: Is that what you said, ivpn ivpn ivpn IVPN. Okay,

1964
01:37:49,200 --> 01:37:52,080
Speaker 1: so I'm looking up that one and this one. Oh wow,

1965
01:37:52,120 --> 01:37:54,519
Speaker 1: they're really like a little bit not as cute. This

1966
01:37:54,640 --> 01:37:57,880
Speaker 1: is more like resist online surveillance. And so they've got

1967
01:37:58,439 --> 01:38:01,479
Speaker 1: you can generate an account with no email required, they've

1968
01:38:01,479 --> 01:38:04,040
Speaker 1: got their ethics right on the homepage, and they've got

1969
01:38:04,040 --> 01:38:07,599
Speaker 1: a standard plan that's about six dollars a month or

1970
01:38:07,680 --> 01:38:11,200
Speaker 1: sixty dollars a year. And then the final one you

1971
01:38:11,240 --> 01:38:12,200
Speaker 1: said was Molevad.

1972
01:38:13,680 --> 01:38:16,960
Speaker 9: Yes, so mole AD's kind of always been sort of

1973
01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:20,280
Speaker 9: the perennial sort of always doing exactly what I look

1974
01:38:20,360 --> 01:38:23,400
Speaker 9: for sort of option, and that's been the case so far.

1975
01:38:23,479 --> 01:38:25,840
Speaker 9: We'll see if that changes, but so far, so good.

1976
01:38:27,160 --> 01:38:31,160
Speaker 9: They've consistently being been consistent basically on the tech side

1977
01:38:31,160 --> 01:38:32,920
Speaker 9: as well as the policy side. And they have a

1978
01:38:32,920 --> 01:38:34,840
Speaker 9: fun animal mascot just like tim ol Bear.

1979
01:38:35,080 --> 01:38:39,280
Speaker 1: And that's spelled Mullvad. And it looks like it's a

1980
01:38:39,320 --> 01:38:41,880
Speaker 1: European based company because the prices are in euros, so

1981
01:38:41,920 --> 01:38:45,960
Speaker 1: it's about five dollars and twenty four cents a month.

1982
01:38:46,040 --> 01:38:48,000
Speaker 1: And what I like about them is that it's the

1983
01:38:48,040 --> 01:38:50,880
Speaker 1: same price every month. They don't do like pricing game,

1984
01:38:50,960 --> 01:38:53,639
Speaker 1: so I also appreciate that. So we've got a couple

1985
01:38:53,680 --> 01:38:56,720
Speaker 1: of recommendations. The million I guess the other million dollar

1986
01:38:56,800 --> 01:39:01,320
Speaker 1: question is when do you recommend the average person uses

1987
01:39:01,360 --> 01:39:03,240
Speaker 1: a VPN. Should we be using this on our Wi

1988
01:39:03,240 --> 01:39:06,080
Speaker 1: Fi network at home, when we're in a hotel all

1989
01:39:06,080 --> 01:39:08,479
Speaker 1: the time. Sometimes when do we need to use one

1990
01:39:08,520 --> 01:39:08,840
Speaker 1: of these?

1991
01:39:10,320 --> 01:39:13,160
Speaker 9: It kind of depends on your own sort of personal

1992
01:39:13,200 --> 01:39:18,120
Speaker 9: comfort level with ad surveillance. One of the things that

1993
01:39:18,160 --> 01:39:21,320
Speaker 9: people like to use to mitigate that risk in addition

1994
01:39:21,360 --> 01:39:23,720
Speaker 9: to a VPN is things like an ad blocker like

1995
01:39:23,760 --> 01:39:29,080
Speaker 9: privacy Badger. When it comes to using a VPN for

1996
01:39:29,160 --> 01:39:32,880
Speaker 9: security reasons, you don't really need it as much as

1997
01:39:32,920 --> 01:39:35,439
Speaker 9: you used to. The good news is like things like

1998
01:39:35,680 --> 01:39:39,519
Speaker 9: your bank connection. You know, when you do banking stuff

1999
01:39:39,520 --> 01:39:42,760
Speaker 9: online or other kind of like basically most other websites,

2000
01:39:42,800 --> 01:39:47,280
Speaker 9: you'll have a secure, encrypted connection between you and that website,

2001
01:39:47,680 --> 01:39:49,840
Speaker 9: So you don't really need a VPN to protect your

2002
01:39:50,000 --> 01:39:54,799
Speaker 9: financial data for example, generally, but if you are looking

2003
01:39:54,920 --> 01:40:02,160
Speaker 9: to minimize your sort of IP address data your location

2004
01:40:02,320 --> 01:40:06,280
Speaker 9: data from online advertising, then a VPN is very useful for.

2005
01:40:06,240 --> 01:40:08,479
Speaker 2: That all right, David Wuerta, we'll leave it there.

2006
01:40:08,920 --> 01:40:12,400
Speaker 1: Senior digital security trainer at the Freedom of the Press Foundation,

2008
01:40:15,479 --> 01:40:17,280
Speaker 1: advice here, and I think it cleared up a lot

2009
01:40:17,280 --> 01:40:18,800
Speaker 1: of misconceptions about these things.

2010
01:40:18,800 --> 01:40:21,799

2019
01:40:54,320 --> 01:40:59,639
Speaker 1: about this Ring extra Terrestrial Search Contest. Ring is offering

01:41:08,520 --> 01:41:11,680
Speaker 1: So this ain't like you know, kids pressed up as

2023
01:41:11,720 --> 01:41:14,080
Speaker 1: et for Halloween. You capture it, That's not what they're

2024
01:41:14,080 --> 01:41:17,920
Speaker 1: talking about here. This is like real alien stuff on

2025
01:41:17,960 --> 01:41:20,720
Speaker 1: your ring. Any device doesn't have to be The Video

01:41:29,320 --> 01:41:30,880
Speaker 1: to win a five hundred dollars gift card. I feel

Speaker 1: like that's what more people are gonna win. Submissions are

01:41:34,240 --> 01:41:38,840

Speaker 1: you are encouraged to get creative. Okay, so this is

2032
01:41:41,320 --> 01:41:44,000
Speaker 1: really like a big ad for all these different you

2033
01:41:44,040 --> 01:41:47,320
Speaker 1: know ring features. So, by the way, and the one

2034
01:41:47,320 --> 01:41:49,120
Speaker 1: feature I do like is called the quick reply. If

2035
01:41:49,120 --> 01:41:51,120
Speaker 1: you're not using that on your ring doorbell, go into

2036
01:41:51,160 --> 01:41:53,880
Speaker 1: the settings and choose your quick reply. They usually have

2037
01:41:53,880 --> 01:41:56,920
Speaker 1: fun ones for Halloween. You can make your video chime

2038
01:41:57,560 --> 01:42:00,679
Speaker 1: the doorbell chime sound like a fun Halloween sound. It's

2039
01:42:00,720 --> 01:42:03,080
Speaker 1: really really cool. So if you haven't looked at the

2040
01:42:03,160 --> 01:42:07,000
Speaker 1: ring settings lately, they're really fun for the holidays. And

2041
01:42:07,040 --> 01:42:09,160
Speaker 1: also quick replies, you can say, like I have mine

2042
01:42:09,200 --> 01:42:12,040
Speaker 1: set up where when a solicitor rings the doorbell, it

2043
01:42:12,080 --> 01:42:15,160
Speaker 1: just says, sorry, we're not interested. It's so cold, but

2044
01:42:15,280 --> 01:42:19,599
Speaker 1: it's like it works. You can hashtag ring million dollar sighting.

2045
01:42:20,920 --> 01:42:23,040
Speaker 1: But you know, I always say this, I always say

2046
01:42:23,040 --> 01:42:24,600
Speaker 1: look because people and I get I'm not going to

2047
01:42:24,680 --> 01:42:27,600
Speaker 1: get into the whole debate whether there's you know, UFOs

2048
01:42:27,680 --> 01:42:31,040
Speaker 1: and all this stuff, but like Bigfoot, let's be real,

2049
01:42:31,479 --> 01:42:34,479
Speaker 1: we have had cell phones with cameras in our world

2050
01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:39,200
Speaker 1: now for twenty plus years, and somehow we have yet

2051
01:42:39,240 --> 01:42:42,840
Speaker 1: to see any evidence of this other stuff that people

2052
01:42:42,960 --> 01:42:46,479
Speaker 1: somehow see all the time. But yet there's never video evidence.

2053
01:42:46,760 --> 01:42:50,599
Speaker 1: Come on, any anything happens to anyone, and there's tons

2054
01:42:50,600 --> 01:42:57,720
Speaker 1: of video of it, but somehow UFOs, aliens, Bigfoot never

2055
01:42:57,760 --> 01:43:00,200
Speaker 1: gets captured, and if it does get captured, it's the

2056
01:43:00,200 --> 01:43:02,559
Speaker 1: worst video you've ever seen in your life. Like, I

2057
01:43:02,640 --> 01:43:05,360
Speaker 1: think that could be an alien? Or is that just

2058
01:43:05,439 --> 01:43:12,920
Speaker 1: a big rat? Bobo says they're aliens. I want to believe. Oh,

2059
01:43:13,040 --> 01:43:16,599
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. I want to believe, because there's

2060
01:43:16,680 --> 01:43:18,640
Speaker 1: no way that we are the only things in this

2061
01:43:18,880 --> 01:43:19,759
Speaker 1: entire universe.

2062
01:43:20,040 --> 01:43:24,600
Speaker 2: Come on. But still, all right, let's get to the

2063
01:43:24,600 --> 01:43:31,280
Speaker 2: feedback segment. Uh EV suck rights, b I can't say

2064
01:43:31,280 --> 01:43:32,040
Speaker 2: the other word.

2065
01:43:32,280 --> 01:43:35,760
Speaker 1: If the FORTYV is great, why did why did I

2066
01:43:35,760 --> 01:43:39,400
Speaker 1: don't know, Leon Kaplan Motorman take his Mustang back after

2067
01:43:39,439 --> 01:43:41,439
Speaker 1: a few weeks and said it was terrible, just awful.

2068
01:43:41,800 --> 01:43:44,680
Speaker 1: Why are major USA car makers losing money making these

2069
01:43:44,720 --> 01:43:47,160
Speaker 1: cars that people don't want. Why are they so expensive

2070
01:43:47,200 --> 01:43:50,080
Speaker 1: that government US has to offer incentives for the elite

2071
01:43:50,080 --> 01:43:52,760
Speaker 1: to purchase one? Why is there not enough electricity in

2072
01:43:52,800 --> 01:43:55,360
Speaker 1: the grid for our households to run during peak hours

2073
01:43:55,360 --> 01:43:57,759
Speaker 1: while EV's get a pass to charge twenty four to seven.

2074
01:43:58,400 --> 01:44:00,439
Speaker 2: I thought, so, oh, you got me.

2075
01:44:00,800 --> 01:44:01,280
Speaker 12: You're right.

2076
01:44:01,439 --> 01:44:05,639
Speaker 2: We should just stop all all all ev work. Just stop.

2077
01:44:05,840 --> 01:44:07,920
Speaker 2: We don't need them. Yeah, let's just go back to gas.

2078
01:44:08,439 --> 01:44:12,799
Speaker 1: Albert says, I mainly subscribe to Amazon Prime for shipping. Honestly,

2079
01:44:12,840 --> 01:44:14,840
Speaker 1: I can't remember the last time I accessed the Prime

2080
01:44:14,920 --> 01:44:18,960
Speaker 1: Video app, referring to the three dollars charge that Amazon

2081
01:44:19,040 --> 01:44:20,720
Speaker 1: Prime will now have for.

2082
01:44:22,160 --> 01:44:23,120
Speaker 2: Ad freeviewing.

2083
01:44:23,520 --> 01:44:27,080
Speaker 1: I am actually watching a video series on Amazon Prime,

2084
01:44:27,120 --> 01:44:29,320
Speaker 1: if you can believe it. I was on a plane

2085
01:44:29,360 --> 01:44:31,439
Speaker 1: a lot this month, so I was like, you know what,

2086
01:44:31,520 --> 01:44:33,759
Speaker 1: And by the way, I'll tell you why. It's because

2087
01:44:33,760 --> 01:44:36,559
Speaker 1: Netflix would not let me download anything and YouTube would

2088
01:44:36,560 --> 01:44:39,720
Speaker 1: not because I'm logged into so many different devices and

2089
01:44:39,800 --> 01:44:42,360
Speaker 1: family members I guess that are latching onto my account

2090
01:44:42,560 --> 01:44:45,240
Speaker 1: that I can no longer download. I am paying for

2091
01:44:45,320 --> 01:44:49,000
Speaker 1: my own stuff and I can't download it. So YouTube said, sorry,

2092
01:44:49,080 --> 01:44:51,719
Speaker 1: can't download? Netflix said sorry, you can't download.

2093
01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:52,599
Speaker 2: So what I do?

2094
01:44:52,680 --> 01:44:54,240
Speaker 1: I went to the next best. I just said, okay,

2095
01:44:54,280 --> 01:44:56,479
Speaker 1: let me see. Amazon Prime doesn't seem to care. So

2096
01:44:56,520 --> 01:44:58,640
Speaker 1: I was able to download a whole show and I

2097
01:44:58,680 --> 01:45:00,320
Speaker 1: can't even tell you the title because I can't remember

2098
01:45:00,320 --> 01:45:04,599
Speaker 1: what it's called. It's called uh oh, my gosh, uh

2099
01:45:04,760 --> 01:45:09,000
Speaker 1: Wilderness and it's not that good all the Amazon shows,

2100
01:45:09,080 --> 01:45:11,160
Speaker 1: and I don't want to knock Amazon. I don't know

2101
01:45:11,200 --> 01:45:14,120
Speaker 1: if you've watched them, but they're lacking like a certain

2102
01:45:14,360 --> 01:45:17,920
Speaker 1: like oomph, you know what I mean. Like it feels

2103
01:45:17,960 --> 01:45:20,920
Speaker 1: like a show that nobody's watching except you. That's like

2104
01:45:20,960 --> 01:45:24,280
Speaker 1: a really bad quality of a show. Uh.

2105
01:45:24,400 --> 01:45:25,000
Speaker 2: Neil says.

2106
01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:27,040
Speaker 1: My wife has been using Samsung, but in the past

2107
01:45:27,040 --> 01:45:29,839
Speaker 1: few months she's been aggravated by frequent updates without asking

2108
01:45:30,120 --> 01:45:32,960
Speaker 1: each one, generating notifications for tens of messages from people

2109
01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:36,640
Speaker 1: she has blocked, and changing her settings. She's also frustrating

2110
01:45:36,640 --> 01:45:38,679
Speaker 1: and trying to get large type in her various apps

2111
01:45:38,720 --> 01:45:41,479
Speaker 1: and browsers. Finally, as her lease neared its end, she

2112
01:45:41,560 --> 01:45:43,160
Speaker 1: got a great trade and offer and jumped to the

2113
01:45:43,160 --> 01:45:46,759
Speaker 1: iPhone fifteen promacs. She likes the large screen and text

2114
01:45:47,720 --> 01:45:50,680
Speaker 1: and while she is still learning the Apple way. She

2115
01:45:50,800 --> 01:45:54,040
Speaker 1: was immediately impressed and pleased with these settings slash accessibility,

2116
01:45:54,160 --> 01:45:58,200
Speaker 1: slash text size, slider miles to go with all the

2117
01:45:58,200 --> 01:46:01,400
Speaker 1: app settings. But fingers crossed that she stays happy, have

2118
01:46:01,439 --> 01:46:04,719
Speaker 1: a great day, and thanks for serving the community. Yep,

2119
01:46:05,439 --> 01:46:08,120
Speaker 1: she switched iPhone and she likes it, so good for her.

2120
01:46:08,320 --> 01:46:11,559
Speaker 1: That is great, Bob says, regarding your last radio show,

2121
01:46:11,600 --> 01:46:13,960
Speaker 1: you had a call about an old device that a

2122
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:16,120
Speaker 1: person could not get Windows ten or eleven to see

2123
01:46:16,120 --> 01:46:20,080
Speaker 1: the files. It's probably because by default Windows ten eleven

2124
01:46:20,080 --> 01:46:24,080
Speaker 1: has SMB one the old SMB turned off. I had

2125
01:46:24,080 --> 01:46:25,720
Speaker 1: an old nass that I wanted to connect to my

2126
01:46:25,720 --> 01:46:28,320
Speaker 1: Windows ten computer and I had to turn on SMB one.

2127
01:46:28,960 --> 01:46:31,840
Speaker 1: Here's a website that will walk you through how to

2128
01:46:31,840 --> 01:46:34,400
Speaker 1: turn on SMB one. Oh, there you go. So this

2129
01:46:34,600 --> 01:46:38,719
Speaker 1: was a caller last week about the little old device

2130
01:46:38,760 --> 01:46:40,320
Speaker 1: he had that he couldn't connect to his computer and

2131
01:46:40,360 --> 01:46:43,040
Speaker 1: get the files off. So Bob is saying that if

2132
01:46:43,080 --> 01:46:45,200
Speaker 1: you turn on SMB one, maybe you'll be able to

2133
01:46:45,240 --> 01:46:47,840
Speaker 1: access them. Bob says, keep up the great work. Even

2134
01:46:47,880 --> 01:46:50,160
Speaker 1: though I'm a tech guy, I enjoy listening to your show.

2135
01:46:50,240 --> 01:46:52,840
Speaker 1: I always learned something Well, I like that you listen

2136
01:46:52,880 --> 01:46:55,360
Speaker 1: even though you're a tech guy. And yes, this show

2137
01:46:55,479 --> 01:46:59,600
Speaker 1: is definitely aimed at folks who have varying tech abilities,

2138
01:47:00,120 --> 01:47:03,040
Speaker 1: and so I'm glad that you do find the enjoyment.

2139
01:47:04,360 --> 01:47:06,760
Speaker 1: Matt says, Hey, rich, short and sweet. I'm hard of

2140
01:47:06,840 --> 01:47:09,320
Speaker 1: hearing for eleven years hearing aids, and with this new

2141
01:47:09,320 --> 01:47:12,040
Speaker 1: iPhone fifteen the update volume level seems to have gone

2142
01:47:12,040 --> 01:47:14,960
Speaker 1: down dramatically. I don't mind paying for a good volume

2143
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:18,680
Speaker 1: booster if it's a reasonable amount that will work on music, audiobooks, podcasts,

2144
01:47:18,720 --> 01:47:21,640
Speaker 1: and other apps downloaded more than I can remember. That

2145
01:47:21,640 --> 01:47:24,760
Speaker 1: seemed to be outrageously expensive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

2146
01:47:25,080 --> 01:47:27,280
Speaker 1: I feel like Apple has a burr under the saddle

2147
01:47:27,320 --> 01:47:29,320
Speaker 1: about this issue. It seems like I should be able

2148
01:47:29,400 --> 01:47:32,599
Speaker 1: to get an Audie just to show them that I

2149
01:47:32,640 --> 01:47:35,160
Speaker 1: really haven't hearing problem. The big issues if I'm in

2150
01:47:35,200 --> 01:47:37,040
Speaker 1: the shower, I can't hear my hearing aids. I can't

2151
01:47:37,080 --> 01:47:39,640
Speaker 1: turn up the volume on the phone loud enough to

2152
01:47:39,640 --> 01:47:42,840
Speaker 1: hear over the shower. Thanks again, love the show, Matt, Well.

2153
01:47:42,920 --> 01:47:45,879
Speaker 1: I think if you update to iOS, the latest iOS,

2154
01:47:45,920 --> 01:47:48,840
Speaker 1: maybe they fix some of those problems. Because there's definitely

2155
01:47:48,880 --> 01:47:52,280
Speaker 1: a lot of sound issues with the first release, and

2156
01:47:52,439 --> 01:47:55,200
Speaker 1: Rita says rich I love watching and listening to all
