<v Speaker 1>two at the Las Vegas Sphere, and we've got David Werta.

0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 1>This is a great guest to talk about how to

0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 1>pick the best VPN. I know I get a lot

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.120
<v Speaker 1>of questions about VPNs, whether you need one, when you

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>should use one. David is going to explain all, welcome

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:46.920
<v Speaker 1>to another episode of the show. Hope you're having a

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 1>great day. So my kid slept over his friend's house

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:53.279
<v Speaker 1>last night. We did a swap, like one kid slept

0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>over my house. My kids slept over another kid's house.

0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 1>And so it's just a sign of the time how

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.560
<v Speaker 1>this stuff works. Number one, my kid he's over at

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.040
<v Speaker 1>the uh you know, his friend's house, sleeping over, and

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:09.880
<v Speaker 1>he's texting me, Dad, can I use Can I use

0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>my watch as a Wi Fi hotspot for my iPad?

0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, what, Like, what do you mean? Just connect

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 1>to their WiFi? He goes, it's not very good. I

0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh, okay. And so this morning when he

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 1>came home, I said, how is a sleepover? And I

0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 1>kid you not? He said, eh, not so good. Their

0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 1>internet was only two bars. That is now the the

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 1>delineation of how good a sleepover is how good the

0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:40.160
<v Speaker 1>internet is at your friend's house. I was cracking up

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:42.680
<v Speaker 1>at that. And then my other kid, my older kid,

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 1>who had his friend over. You know, I've had lots

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 1>of sleepovers in my day, and we played. You'd go outside,

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.639
<v Speaker 1>you'd explore their house, you'd polish rocks, whatever you did,

0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 1>you know.

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 2>And these kids, I kid you not.

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.640
<v Speaker 1>They had the door closed to the playroom and I

0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:57.079
<v Speaker 1>kind of.

0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Like just sneak up a little bit.

0:02:58.400 --> 0:02:59.919
<v Speaker 1>Not that I was being sneaky, but I just kind

0:02:59.919 --> 0:03:01.919
<v Speaker 1>of was listening a little bit to see what they're

0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:02.400
<v Speaker 1>talking about.

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:03.280
<v Speaker 2>Don't hear much.

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I kind of opened the door quietly that the room

0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:09.519
<v Speaker 1>is dark, there's nothing, no lights on in there.

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 2>I opened the door. What do I see?

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 1>One kid on the floor on his iPad with his

0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 1>screen lit up and or the screen lighting up his face.

0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.119
<v Speaker 1>The other kid on the couch with the iPad lighting

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:21.320
<v Speaker 1>up his screen, and they're literally doing the exact same

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.360
<v Speaker 1>thing they'd be doing on a Friday night if they

0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 1>were not in the same room. They're just sitting there

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 1>playing Rodblocks or I think it was Minecraft on their iPad,

0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.680
<v Speaker 1>And I'm just like, man, how times have changed? When

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 1>we had sleepovers, like it was, you know, the best

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 1>thing ever because you just you know, you're in person anyway.

0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.960
<v Speaker 2>I thought that was just wild. The sign of the times.

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 1>With today's youth, it's like they're literally doing the same

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 1>thing except in person. It's there's really no difference whether

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 1>they're in person or apart. All right, So this week

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 1>I was back in New York for the launch of

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:57.760
<v Speaker 1>the Pixel eight smartphones. Google had an event at Pere

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:01.360
<v Speaker 1>fifty seven in New York's and I like to get

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:04.000
<v Speaker 1>real specific because I was there, so why not I

0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 1>can remember where I was.

0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:05.680
<v Speaker 2>It was fun.

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 1>I actually picked a hotel that was close to the event,

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:11.840
<v Speaker 1>and it was nowhere near the event. It was a

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.040
<v Speaker 1>half an hour walk from the event, which was fine.

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:16.480
<v Speaker 1>It just makes you realize that when a hotel says

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:20.160
<v Speaker 1>it's like Chelsea, it's really Chelsea adjacent sometimes. So that's

0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 1>the neighborhood that I guess Pure fifty seven was in. Anyway,

0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:25.920
<v Speaker 1>you don't care about that. All you care about these

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.200
<v Speaker 1>new phones. And I gotta say I've been using the

0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:31.839
<v Speaker 1>Pixel eight pro ever since, and I will tell you

0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:33.520
<v Speaker 1>that I think and I can't give you my full

0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:36.160
<v Speaker 1>review yet. Because there's these things called embargoes. But I

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 1>will tell you I think this is the best phones

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:41.480
<v Speaker 1>that Google has ever made. Now, I know Apple says

0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:43.440
<v Speaker 1>that every time they make a new phone, but I

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.640
<v Speaker 1>will say, there's a thoughtfulness to this pixel that I

0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:49.159
<v Speaker 1>feel like has been missing since the early days of

0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:52.160
<v Speaker 1>the pixels. So what did you get? New Pixel eight?

0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 1>New Pixel eight pro. Pixel eight has a six point

0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.479
<v Speaker 1>two inch screen. Pixel eight pro has a six point

0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:01.640
<v Speaker 1>seven inch screen. These are slightly smaller than last year,

0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 1>and so they actually the Pixel eight pro is much

0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.080
<v Speaker 1>It just feels much better in the hand, like it's

0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:12.800
<v Speaker 1>actually something that you can hold much easier, and so

0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 1>I got to give them credit for that because it's

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 1>it's just so much easier. They also have the brightest

0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.839
<v Speaker 1>displays yet on the pixels, and I haven't really noticed that,

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:25.120
<v Speaker 1>but it does seem a little bit better. I've got

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:27.479
<v Speaker 1>to see it more outside because that's really where the

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.920
<v Speaker 1>pixel used to be not very good, was outside. They

0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 1>have this new temperature sensor on the phone, which is

0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.160
<v Speaker 1>super super odd. I don't know why you'd ever need that.

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>You can't take your temperature of humans, you can only

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 1>take of things, So why do you need a thermometer

0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:46.279
<v Speaker 1>like we needed this during COVID maybe but not now. Anyway,

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 1>it's on there and they ask the FDA if they

0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:50.720
<v Speaker 1>can get approval for taking the temperature of things, not

0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:55.479
<v Speaker 1>just objects. Kind of an odd inclusion. Cameras are upgraded

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 1>on the standard Pixel eight, but they're really upgraded on

0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:02.920
<v Speaker 1>the Pixel eight Pro. Better low light, better macro, better telephoto.

0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:06.640
<v Speaker 1>It's got a five time zoom, and it's so far

0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:10.200
<v Speaker 1>the camera and the photos on this phone are looking really,

0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.560
<v Speaker 1>really good. I in fact took it out against the

0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:16.359
<v Speaker 1>iPhone fifteen PROX in New York City. I posted that

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:18.600
<v Speaker 1>to my Instagram at rich on Tech if you want

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.039
<v Speaker 1>to take a look at the side by side some

0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:24.440
<v Speaker 1>cases the Pixel eight Pro one. I had people vote

0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:27.800
<v Speaker 1>on these things and in some cases the iPhone fifteen

0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:31.760
<v Speaker 1>Pro Max one. So but these are very very good cameras.

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:38.359
<v Speaker 1>There's a new camera interface. They added pro camera I

0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:40.599
<v Speaker 1>guess a pro camera mode that is for the first

0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:42.320
<v Speaker 1>time on the pixel which is nice if you know

0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:44.559
<v Speaker 1>how to do all those little things that I don't.

0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't use a pro camera mode. I like just

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:50.200
<v Speaker 1>take the picture, snap and shoot, and that's at point

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.279
<v Speaker 1>and shoot and it's done. But they do have a

0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 1>couple of new features. One is called best Take, and

0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.440
<v Speaker 1>this is wild you take. You know if you have

0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 1>ever taken a group picture of people where one person

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.080
<v Speaker 1>since blinking, one person's looking off, one person's not smiling,

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.560
<v Speaker 1>but generally you take six or seven pictures of that

0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:07.200
<v Speaker 1>group and you're like, one of these should turn out

0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:10.360
<v Speaker 1>good and one of them doesn't. So now it will

0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 1>look at all the faces in those six or seven pictures,

0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.040
<v Speaker 1>you hit this best take and it will automatically just

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 1>take the best head and the best expression on that

0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:23.480
<v Speaker 1>person's head, and just automatically fix everyone's head in the picture.

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:25.080
<v Speaker 2>So you don't even have to do anything.

0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Now if you want to, you can go through and

0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:29.760
<v Speaker 1>actually pick the exact facial expression you want for each

0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 1>person in that picture.

0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:33.800
<v Speaker 2>It is a wild AI editing feature.

0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 1>I put a video on Instagram, we demoed it on

0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 1>the KTLA Morning News and people are just even the anchors.

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:43.600
<v Speaker 1>I talk about technology every single day on KTLA and

0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 1>there's only a handful of times when the anchors are

0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:48.800
<v Speaker 1>actually impressed with what I'm talking about. This was one

0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.160
<v Speaker 1>of those times where it was like an aha, moment,

0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:53.720
<v Speaker 1>they were just like, wow, that's wild, and so you

0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 1>can see that on my Instagram at rich On Tech.

0:07:56.240 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 1>The other new feature is called audio Magic Eraser, and

0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:04.000
<v Speaker 1>this reduces background sounds in your videos. So I was

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:07.000
<v Speaker 1>in New York City. There was a police sirens in

0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:10.120
<v Speaker 1>the background. I just tapped audio Magic Eraser and the

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:13.200
<v Speaker 1>sirens were erased. And it's not even just that simple,

0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.200
<v Speaker 1>like you can do that and have Google do the

0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:17.520
<v Speaker 1>audio edit for you, but if you're a little bit

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:21.440
<v Speaker 1>more like DIY, it will separate and identify all the

0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.200
<v Speaker 1>different sounds in your videos and it will let you

0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:26.480
<v Speaker 1>bring them down like almost as if you had an

0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:27.400
<v Speaker 1>audio mixer.

0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:28.920
<v Speaker 2>So that's really cool.

0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Then they've got this new feature which is it's kind

0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:37.040
<v Speaker 1>of like a video edit or sorry, a photo editing feature.

0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:42.040
<v Speaker 1>And the name is evading me right now, but it's

0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:45.040
<v Speaker 1>just basically like AI editing for your entire photo and

0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:47.120
<v Speaker 1>it is really really cool. I've been playing with that,

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:49.560
<v Speaker 1>and so I just took a picture of a hamburger

0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.400
<v Speaker 1>that I took and it not only can erase the

0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 1>hamburger in the picture, but also recreates the background. So

0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.439
<v Speaker 1>you can see this on my Twitter. They whatever they

0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.440
<v Speaker 1>call it X but it's called magic editor. Okay, there,

0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:05.280
<v Speaker 1>it is magic editor. So it not only can erase

0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.920
<v Speaker 1>entire objects, but it recreates the background. You can drag

0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:11.480
<v Speaker 1>and like move a person in a picture, you can

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.320
<v Speaker 1>zoom them in. I mean, it's pretty wild. So the

0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:16.520
<v Speaker 1>three examples I did. I took a hamburger out of

0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:19.360
<v Speaker 1>a picture and it recreated the background. I moved myself

0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:21.560
<v Speaker 1>in a picture and made myself bigger. And then I

0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:23.800
<v Speaker 1>had this cotton candy picture where it was a little

0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:26.560
<v Speaker 1>tiny cotton candy. I made the cotton candy giant. I mean,

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:29.480
<v Speaker 1>it's really really wild what you can do there. Then

0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:33.160
<v Speaker 1>they have these new spam reducing features. Google says that

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.640
<v Speaker 1>people get fifty percent less spam calls because of the

0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:40.600
<v Speaker 1>pixel and seven years of software and security updates. That

0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.600
<v Speaker 1>means if you bought this pixel phone today, the Pixelate

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:45.640
<v Speaker 1>or the Pixelate Pro, you're gonna be able to use

0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:48.439
<v Speaker 1>it until twenty thirty and the software is gonna be

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:48.880
<v Speaker 1>up to date.

0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:50.080
<v Speaker 2>That is new from Google.

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:52.679
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna have to see how they do with that,

0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 1>because you know, Google has a history of kind of

0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.800
<v Speaker 1>like giving up on things and kind of losing interest.

0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Let's hope they don't do that with this, but seven

0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:04.040
<v Speaker 1>years of security updates. Pre Orders are open now. These

0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:07.440
<v Speaker 1>are available on October twelfth. The Pixel eight starts at

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.160
<v Speaker 1>six ninety nine. The Pixel eight Pro starts at nine

0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:13.280
<v Speaker 1>to ninety nine, one hundred dollars more than last year.

0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:16.160
<v Speaker 1>They kind of snuck in a little price increase. I

0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:17.960
<v Speaker 1>will tell you, I think the Pixel eight is a

0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:21.079
<v Speaker 1>great phone. I think the Pixel eight Pro is really

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.520
<v Speaker 1>the phone to get here because you get more features,

0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.200
<v Speaker 1>you get better zoom, you get a better display, you

0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 1>get more ram so it's gonna run faster. And also,

0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I will tell you it just fits in your hand

0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.800
<v Speaker 1>way better than some of these bigger phones these days,

0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Like they just made this thing so it fits really nice.

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.520
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, the case that Google made this year,

0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 1>there's their own silicone cases actually feel really good. I've

0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:48.079
<v Speaker 1>never been able to use a Google case on my phone,

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.120
<v Speaker 1>and this is the first year which I've not ripped

0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:53.480
<v Speaker 1>it off after using it for fifteen minutes. So that's

0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.280
<v Speaker 1>the Pixel eight pixelate Pro. Bay blue is the color

0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 1>that everyone's talking about.

0:10:58.400 --> 0:10:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Not for me.

0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm not like a bright phone color person, so I

0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:04.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't go with that one. But they also have a

0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.920
<v Speaker 1>black and also a obsidian, which is pretty much white.

0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:09.160
<v Speaker 2>It's like a grayish white.

0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:12.160
<v Speaker 1>But that's the features on the Pixel eight Pixel a Pro.

0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Coming up in the show, I'll talk more about the

0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 1>pixel watch too, but let's have some of your calls.

0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:19.360

<v Speaker 1>loves this song, says it's so peaceful. Kids are so

0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:51.880
<v Speaker 1>funny these days. Kids are just not like we were

0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.360
<v Speaker 1>as kids. Like I don't think I knew one song

0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:55.880
<v Speaker 1>when I was nine years old, and I was like,

0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.520
<v Speaker 1>this is so peaceful, like it was just, you know,

0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:03.520
<v Speaker 1>just different. Let's go to Michael and Long Beach. Michael,

0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:04.640
<v Speaker 1>you're on with Writch.

0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Laguna Beach.

0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:07.679
<v Speaker 4>Uh Hi.

0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:12.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I bought a I went to Google flights and

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:17.000
<v Speaker 3>bought an airplane ticket off of a of a site

0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.560
<v Speaker 3>that came up there and put in my credit card

0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:25.040
<v Speaker 3>information and uh, you know, everything they asked for, and then,

0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:28.680
<v Speaker 3>you know, thought I had it booked, and then somebody

0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.679
<v Speaker 3>sent me a text and said your card has been

0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:36.000
<v Speaker 3>declined and called this number. So I called the number

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.199
<v Speaker 3>and very clearly he says what the guy says, Well,

0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:42.679
<v Speaker 3>you'll have to rebook everything and we'll get you on

0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:45.240
<v Speaker 3>another flight or that flight. So I gave him all

0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:48.439
<v Speaker 3>the information and I think it was including the last

0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:53.080
<v Speaker 3>four of my social Security But anyway, I figured out

0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.520
<v Speaker 3>finally because it happened, they wanted me to do it again.

0:12:56.800 --> 0:13:03.800
<v Speaker 3>I said, something's wrong here, and the uh. But but anyway,

0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:07.320
<v Speaker 3>I called the American Express and told them what had happened,

0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:10.640
<v Speaker 3>and uh, you know, they they didn't seem to be

0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:12.160
<v Speaker 3>very interested in the fraud.

0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, they hear it every day, they hear these stories.

0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:17.880
<v Speaker 1>They just it's just another number for them, and they just,

0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:20.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's funny because you think you have this

0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.360
<v Speaker 1>like great story and you're gonna and they're gonna really

0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 1>be invested in it. When you call and I've had

0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:26.840
<v Speaker 1>this happen to me, they just they don't care. It's

0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:28.920
<v Speaker 1>just like a numbers, like they're like Okay, just do this,

0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:30.320
<v Speaker 1>do this, do this, we'll send you a new card.

0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:31.680
<v Speaker 2>We're done.

0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:35.400
<v Speaker 3>Well, I guess I'm more concerned that the hackers now

0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:39.200
<v Speaker 3>have possibly my fort last four of my social plus

0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:40.840
<v Speaker 3>all the credit card information.

0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:42.160
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:44.880
<v Speaker 3>I thought American Express would want to give me a

0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:48.000
<v Speaker 3>new card, you know, say, okay, we'll cancel that card

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.640
<v Speaker 3>and you give you another one, And they didn't seem

0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 3>to even I didn't ask them for it, but they

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:53.760
<v Speaker 3>didn't seem to even want to do that.

0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.160
<v Speaker 1>So what what can I help you with? You just

0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:59.000
<v Speaker 1>want to make sure you're not going to be hacked again.

0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:01.160
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, how can I protect myself?

0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.120
<v Speaker 1>So why didn't MX give you a new card?

0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 3>They didn't offer it. I mean I didn't ask for it,

0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 3>but they didn't offer it.

0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Did they find any charges on the card that were fraudulent?

0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Did they reverse any or dispute any.

0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 3>They did find the They did find the It was

0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:24.560
<v Speaker 3>very interesting. The base flight information was in there. The

0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:28.640
<v Speaker 3>flight I was going from Honolulu to La Hui and

0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:33.000
<v Speaker 3>the flight costs seventy nine dollars, and then they said

0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.920
<v Speaker 3>we need to charge you an excise tax and that

0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.480
<v Speaker 3>was like eighty nine dollars. And they said, there's going

0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:41.760
<v Speaker 3>to be two separate charges on your card. There's going

0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:44.640
<v Speaker 3>to be one for the uh, you know, seventy nine

0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:48.360
<v Speaker 3>dollars and another one for the excise tax, which American

0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:51.680
<v Speaker 3>Express saw, so they saw the charge made to the

0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:52.760
<v Speaker 3>excise tax.

0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Well, here's here's the thing. I think that the

0:14:56.920 --> 0:15:00.960
<v Speaker 1>I feel like the two things maybe unrelated. Like I

0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:06.400
<v Speaker 1>think that you got a legitimate ticket through Google Flights,

0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:10.080
<v Speaker 1>and perhaps this text came in at the right time

0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:13.560
<v Speaker 1>to grab your information and that's why you were, you know,

0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:15.920
<v Speaker 1>willing to hand it over because you had just booked

0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.480
<v Speaker 1>this flight. So that's kind of my initial thought. But

0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:20.040
<v Speaker 1>I think there's a couple of key things to learn

0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:22.880
<v Speaker 1>from this. Number One, I would ask AMX for a

0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:27.040
<v Speaker 1>new card. And I think I typically don't recommend credit cards,

0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:29.360
<v Speaker 1>but I do think in the in terms of travel,

0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:32.760
<v Speaker 1>they are helpful because when stuff like this happens, it

0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:36.720
<v Speaker 1>puts a little buffer between you and your money. So

0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:38.600
<v Speaker 1>if you had used a debit card with this, now

0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:40.760
<v Speaker 1>you'd be fighting to get back your own information. And

0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.440
<v Speaker 1>also it would be a problem because now they have

0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:46.000
<v Speaker 1>your debit card information, when they have your credit card information,

0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:49.840
<v Speaker 1>like who really cares. I mean Amex, They're all Amex

0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:51.640
<v Speaker 1>is going to do is they're going to cut off

0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:54.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, this card number, which they should do anyway,

0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.560
<v Speaker 1>and then they're going to reverse any sort of charges

0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:01.360
<v Speaker 1>that this card, you know, any fraudulent charges. They're just

0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:03.680
<v Speaker 1>not going to pay on those. So whoever has that

0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:06.080
<v Speaker 1>account that was placing those fraudulent charges, they're just not

0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:08.480
<v Speaker 1>going to get paid. And if it was a scam anyway,

0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:10.440
<v Speaker 1>then it's not that big of a deal for the

0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:13.480
<v Speaker 1>company because they they're just not paying out.

0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:15.600
<v Speaker 2>So I think the main things.

0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Here is that you did give out your personal information,

0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.120
<v Speaker 1>which I think we need to be very very careful,

0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:22.800
<v Speaker 1>especially when we give out our social I have said

0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.120
<v Speaker 1>that you pretty much never need to give that out

0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:28.160
<v Speaker 1>unless you are applying for some kind of financial product.

0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:31.000
<v Speaker 1>But any sort of business that asks you for it, doctors,

0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:35.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, airline, I mean, there's just not a reason.

0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:37.440
<v Speaker 1>So I would ask for a new card, and I

0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:39.480
<v Speaker 1>would be careful. I might sign up for some sort

0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:43.720
<v Speaker 1>of credit monitoring, you know, you can look at something

0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:46.520
<v Speaker 1>like these free ones like credit Karma or wallet hub.

0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:50.120
<v Speaker 1>They will do some level of free credit monitoring for you.

0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:53.480
<v Speaker 1>So Michael, that's probably what I'd recommend for you to

0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:56.400
<v Speaker 1>do is monitor your credit. Just make sure nothing is weird,

0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:59.880
<v Speaker 1>and just be aware if you're getting text messages that

0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:02.320
<v Speaker 1>ask for your personal information or any sort of emails,

0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.639
<v Speaker 1>just be on guard because you did give out that

0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:08.399
<v Speaker 1>level of information. So please protect your personal data. That

0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:10.200
<v Speaker 1>is the most important thing you can do. Be on

0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:13.119
<v Speaker 1>guard all the time. Coming up next, we're going to

0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:16.880
<v Speaker 1>talk to Stephanie Scott of Google about the Pixel eight

0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:17.960
<v Speaker 1>and the Pixel eight Pro.

0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:26.080
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to rich On Tech.

0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Rich Demiro here on location in New York City where

0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Google has just announced their latest Pixel eight smartphones. You've

0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:36.639
<v Speaker 1>got the Pixel eight and the Pixel eight Pro. Joining

0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:39.919
<v Speaker 1>me now to talk about them is Stephanie Scott with Google,

0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.000
<v Speaker 1>and you are the product manager for Pixel.

0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:45.240
<v Speaker 6>Yes, I lead the Pixel eight and the Pixel eight

0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:45.800
<v Speaker 6>Pro lines.

0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:49.240
<v Speaker 1>So pixel phones to me have always been all about

0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:52.520
<v Speaker 1>the camera, all about AI. Are you really sort of

0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:54.880
<v Speaker 1>doubling down on those two areas this year?

0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:58.520
<v Speaker 6>I would say we have amazing advancements in both of

0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:02.080
<v Speaker 6>those areas this year. For the camera, we've upgraded all

0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:04.960
<v Speaker 6>of the hardware on the Pixel eight Pro. So you're

0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:07.600
<v Speaker 6>going to see huge leaps and improvements there, as well

0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:11.200
<v Speaker 6>as bringing amazing new post capture and editing tools, things

0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:14.200
<v Speaker 6>like Audio Magic Eraser that let you take out unwanted

0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:17.120
<v Speaker 6>noise in your videos. We have things like best take

0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:21.120
<v Speaker 6>that will let you help select images of faces where

0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:24.240
<v Speaker 6>people really look their best, and brand new features like

0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:27.240
<v Speaker 6>Magic Editor that let you reimagine a shot maybe a

0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:29.920
<v Speaker 6>little bit more like how you remembered it. And then

0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:33.080
<v Speaker 6>for helpful AI, we have a number of new features

0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:36.120
<v Speaker 6>there as well. New features like Summarize that can help

0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:38.800
<v Speaker 6>sort of read a web page and synthesize it for you,

0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:42.800
<v Speaker 6>or even things like direct my Call where you actually

0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:45.879
<v Speaker 6>have more ambient or helpful, helpful tips and tricks for

0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:47.160
<v Speaker 6>answering a phone call.

0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:51.919
<v Speaker 1>So I will say, every time I use the Pixel devices,

0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:54.840
<v Speaker 1>I truly feel like it is a smart phone, like

0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:57.919
<v Speaker 1>it puts the smart in phone because it almost thinks

0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:01.640
<v Speaker 1>for you. And with these AI editions you almost feel

0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:03.280
<v Speaker 1>like you have super control over a lot of your

0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:05.000
<v Speaker 1>photos and videos and things like that.

0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:06.800
<v Speaker 2>Let's break down some of these features.

0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:09.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so first off, you mentioned a new one which

0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:10.560
<v Speaker 1>is the audio eraser.

0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:11.159
<v Speaker 2>Explain that.

0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:15.040
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, so Audio Magic Eraser is an amazing new feature

0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:17.920
<v Speaker 6>that we've added for videos. And when you take videos,

0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:20.200
<v Speaker 6>a lot of times you're trying to capture the sound

0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:22.879
<v Speaker 6>from a subject. So maybe it's a musician or a

0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:26.720
<v Speaker 6>child doing a performance, but there could be unwanted background noise.

0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:28.960
<v Speaker 6>So if you're recording in New York City, there could

0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:31.159
<v Speaker 6>be you know, sirens or an ice cream trucks that

0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:35.040
<v Speaker 6>goes by, or a bird chirping, And the feature intelligently

0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:38.480
<v Speaker 6>separates those sounds out into layers and then lets you

0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:42.840
<v Speaker 6>have the ability to turn those those unwanted noises down

0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:45.400
<v Speaker 6>so you can really listen to the intended subject.

0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I was playing with this feature and it really separated

0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:51.560
<v Speaker 1>out like the voice versus the background noise, and you

0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:53.760
<v Speaker 1>can adjust each of them like its own level, like

0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:55.639
<v Speaker 1>almost as if you recorded them independently.

0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:56.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:58.320
<v Speaker 6>No, it's really great, and it's great because it makes

0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:01.720
<v Speaker 6>it so easy. It really gives you those three options

0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:04.120
<v Speaker 6>in the UI and lets you have complete control over

0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:05.280
<v Speaker 6>all of them.

0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Now, this next feature I think is going to be

0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:10.919
<v Speaker 1>the most controversial when it hits the you know, the

0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:14.679
<v Speaker 1>open marketplace. The best take because it's so unique and

0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:17.040
<v Speaker 1>it's it's stuff that you could do before if you

0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:19.920
<v Speaker 1>are a photo editor, but now anyone can do this

0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:22.159
<v Speaker 1>in the palm of their hand. This best Take feature.

0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:25.560
<v Speaker 1>You take a group picture or you take even a selfie,

0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:29.040
<v Speaker 1>and it will let you it's like, you know, change

0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:30.159
<v Speaker 1>the way the face looks.

0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:31.960
<v Speaker 2>It can give a smile. Will you explain it?

0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:33.479
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, yeah, so I can explain.

0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:36.000
<v Speaker 6>So this feature is really built for those group shots

0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:38.240
<v Speaker 6>where you're taking a picture, you know, with a group

0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:40.680
<v Speaker 6>of friends or maybe family. And I don't know about

0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:42.639
<v Speaker 6>you and your friends, but with me, a lot of

0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:45.280
<v Speaker 6>times someone's blinking, someone's looking away from the camera, and

0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:47.439
<v Speaker 6>so you end up with a shot where most people

0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:51.320
<v Speaker 6>look good, but someone's not looking at the camera. So

0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:54.640
<v Speaker 6>it's taking from that series of photos that you took

0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:56.240
<v Speaker 6>at that time.

0:20:56.359 --> 0:20:58.880
<v Speaker 7>And helping you actually choose from the.

0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:02.920
<v Speaker 6>Faces in that that series or group of photos, another

0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:05.439
<v Speaker 6>face where someone maybe looks a little bit better, or

0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:07.720
<v Speaker 6>is looking at the camera or has their eyes open,

0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:11.760
<v Speaker 6>to create one amazing shot where everyone looks their best.

0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:14.719
<v Speaker 1>So you take six or seven photos and you go

0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:17.320
<v Speaker 1>through them, you swipe, and every single one you analyze,

0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:19.879
<v Speaker 1>you zoom in on the person's face. There's always something

0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:21.800
<v Speaker 1>a little bit off, and so now it's taking the

0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:25.040
<v Speaker 1>best of all those photos merging them into one great picture.

0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:27.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and it gives you again a lot of control,

0:21:27.040 --> 0:21:29.200
<v Speaker 6>so you can go in and choose the smile maybe

0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:31.879
<v Speaker 6>you like, because not everyone wants that big goofy smile,

0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:34.879
<v Speaker 6>you know, maybe someone wants a little more muted expression.

0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:37.240
<v Speaker 6>So I can't wait personally to use this for my

0:21:37.280 --> 0:21:39.360
<v Speaker 6>holiday card this year. We take it with my cat.

0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:41.720
<v Speaker 6>It's always a little chaotic, and so it's just nice

0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:44.760
<v Speaker 6>to be able to have a little bit more editing control.

0:21:44.800 --> 0:21:45.000
<v Speaker 8>There.

0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:46.880
<v Speaker 2>Will it work on animal faces?

0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:49.200
<v Speaker 7>No, it does not work on animal faces.

0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:51.560
<v Speaker 6>But I can choose a picture where my cat is

0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:53.399
<v Speaker 6>looking good and then correct my face.

0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Ah, okay, got it. Well, maybe next year the upgrade

0:21:56.840 --> 0:21:59.880
<v Speaker 1>for the dogs. People love the dog and cat features.

0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:03.240
<v Speaker 1>These like photo apps. All right, So let's talk about

0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:06.520
<v Speaker 1>the operating system updates because Google announced that they will

0:22:06.520 --> 0:22:07.400
<v Speaker 1>do seven.

0:22:07.160 --> 0:22:10.919
<v Speaker 2>Years of updates for the Pixel. Explain what that means.

0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:15.600
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, so for Pixel, we've you know, we've offered you know,

0:22:15.680 --> 0:22:18.040
<v Speaker 6>multiple years of feature updates in the past. We also

0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:22.879
<v Speaker 6>have featured drops, which brings newer features to people that may.

0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:24.359
<v Speaker 7>Have a Pixel that's several years old.

0:22:24.880 --> 0:22:28.160
<v Speaker 6>But this year we have a new offering that's really meaningful,

0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:32.800
<v Speaker 6>which is seven years of OS security and feature drops,

0:22:32.800 --> 0:22:35.760
<v Speaker 6>so offering users and sort of for Pixel eight and

0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:38.840
<v Speaker 6>eight pro a guarantee that we will be supporting these

0:22:38.880 --> 0:22:40.480
<v Speaker 6>devices for that time.

0:22:40.880 --> 0:22:43.399
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's a really long time, so this phone

0:22:44.040 --> 0:22:46.560
<v Speaker 1>will pretty much be good to go for that long.

0:22:47.200 --> 0:22:47.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:51.520
<v Speaker 6>We're excited to have this exciting announcement for users and

0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:54.480
<v Speaker 6>being able to support them as if they're planning on

0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:55.800
<v Speaker 6>using the device even longer.

0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:56.480
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:22:56.560 --> 0:22:58.639
<v Speaker 1>They also announced on stage that if you're kind of

0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:01.800
<v Speaker 1>the tinkering per you can fix your own phone.

0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:02.520
<v Speaker 2>Tell me about that.

0:23:02.880 --> 0:23:05.479
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, So we have a partnership with I fix it

0:23:05.560 --> 0:23:08.280
<v Speaker 6>and so where we make parts.

0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:09.679
<v Speaker 7>And repair manuals available.

0:23:09.840 --> 0:23:13.160
<v Speaker 6>So looking to again help support users that are looking

0:23:13.200 --> 0:23:14.960
<v Speaker 6>for longevity in their devices.

0:23:15.320 --> 0:23:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I may have to try to just replace a screen,

0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:19.360
<v Speaker 1>because the last time I did that was many many

0:23:19.440 --> 0:23:21.480
<v Speaker 1>years ago with an iPod. I replaced the battery and

0:23:21.520 --> 0:23:23.080
<v Speaker 1>I was so proud of myself, But that was like

0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:24.200
<v Speaker 1>many many years ago.

0:23:24.560 --> 0:23:27.920
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I would say it's definitely an area that's progressing

0:23:27.960 --> 0:23:29.159
<v Speaker 6>and worth trying.

0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Again. What about people that have the current Pixel phones.

0:23:32.280 --> 0:23:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Are there any features you announced that they can see

0:23:35.119 --> 0:23:36.040
<v Speaker 1>on their phones now?

0:23:36.520 --> 0:23:37.120
<v Speaker 2>I think the.

0:23:37.040 --> 0:23:39.800
<v Speaker 6>Only one we announced today was the new Fold feature

0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:44.560
<v Speaker 6>that provides translation using taking a capability of the two screens,

0:23:45.480 --> 0:23:49.160
<v Speaker 6>so being able to do an interpreter mode and use

0:23:49.240 --> 0:23:52.040
<v Speaker 6>the dual screens on the Fold display to be able

0:23:52.080 --> 0:23:55.640
<v Speaker 6>to more easily do a translation between two people having

0:23:55.640 --> 0:23:56.320
<v Speaker 6>a conversation.

0:23:57.080 --> 0:23:59.320
<v Speaker 2>What's been the response on the Fold I.

0:23:59.800 --> 0:24:02.880
<v Speaker 6>Am honestly, I think it's a really innovative product. It's

0:24:03.119 --> 0:24:05.399
<v Speaker 6>a sort of a cutting edge and we're really bringing

0:24:05.640 --> 0:24:08.840
<v Speaker 6>and taking advantage of the larger screen to do even

0:24:08.920 --> 0:24:13.119
<v Speaker 6>more in terms of you know, photo editing or camera features,

0:24:13.359 --> 0:24:15.119
<v Speaker 6>So a really amazing space to innovate.

0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:19.040
<v Speaker 1>AI is a huge part of the Pixel devices. I

0:24:19.040 --> 0:24:21.040
<v Speaker 1>feel like it's always been a big part with Google

0:24:21.080 --> 0:24:23.359
<v Speaker 1>Assistant and all the photo features.

0:24:23.680 --> 0:24:26.560
<v Speaker 2>But now you've got these call screening features.

0:24:26.560 --> 0:24:28.399
<v Speaker 1>You say that people with Pixel phones get like fifty

0:24:28.400 --> 0:24:29.639
<v Speaker 1>percent less spam calls.

0:24:29.880 --> 0:24:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Tell me about some of those features that you announced today.

0:24:32.280 --> 0:24:35.600
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I absolutely love our calling features. So we have

0:24:35.680 --> 0:24:39.600
<v Speaker 6>a number of different features, everything from you know, direct

0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:41.760
<v Speaker 6>my Call, which helps you when you're calling a business

0:24:41.800 --> 0:24:44.240
<v Speaker 6>for example, to be able to navigate phone trees, to

0:24:44.400 --> 0:24:48.679
<v Speaker 6>things like Crystal Clear Calling that remove background noise using AI,

0:24:49.119 --> 0:24:51.520
<v Speaker 6>to things like Hold for Me that literally save you

0:24:51.560 --> 0:24:54.080
<v Speaker 6>hours of your day by not having to wait on hold.

0:24:54.520 --> 0:24:58.680
<v Speaker 6>The new one we announced today is in advancement to

0:24:58.720 --> 0:25:02.080
<v Speaker 6>direct My Call and call screen, where you actually have

0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:04.880
<v Speaker 6>more intelligent response suggestions, so you don't even have.

0:25:04.880 --> 0:25:07.160
<v Speaker 7>To pick up a call to respond to a call.

0:25:07.200 --> 0:25:10.080
<v Speaker 6>So if you imagine, for example, a UPS driver is

0:25:10.119 --> 0:25:10.600
<v Speaker 6>calling and.

0:25:10.520 --> 0:25:12.720
<v Speaker 7>Asks where should I leave the package? Or can I

0:25:12.800 --> 0:25:13.560
<v Speaker 7>leave the package?

0:25:13.680 --> 0:25:17.280
<v Speaker 6>You'll actually get suggested responses and you can say things

0:25:17.359 --> 0:25:20.159
<v Speaker 6>like leave it by the door, you know, and not

0:25:20.320 --> 0:25:22.360
<v Speaker 6>even have to pick up the phone to give them

0:25:22.400 --> 0:25:23.840
<v Speaker 6>that instruction, which is great.

0:25:24.840 --> 0:25:27.120
<v Speaker 1>So you work with this phone on a daily basis,

0:25:27.520 --> 0:25:30.800
<v Speaker 1>I imagine you're pretty much invested in the pixel lineup

0:25:30.840 --> 0:25:32.320
<v Speaker 1>and you feel like it's probably one of the best

0:25:32.320 --> 0:25:35.919
<v Speaker 1>phones out there. If someone is thinking about switching to

0:25:35.960 --> 0:25:38.159
<v Speaker 1>this phone, that is a really tough thing for the

0:25:38.200 --> 0:25:40.600
<v Speaker 1>average smartphone user to do because they've got a big

0:25:40.640 --> 0:25:42.320
<v Speaker 1>life in their previous phone.

0:25:42.440 --> 0:25:43.480
<v Speaker 2>What's your advice for them?

0:25:43.960 --> 0:25:46.399
<v Speaker 6>My advice is to give it a go. I think

0:25:46.440 --> 0:25:49.560
<v Speaker 6>there's a lot of new features here, amazing cameras to

0:25:49.680 --> 0:25:54.480
<v Speaker 6>try all the new helpful calling features and smart features

0:25:54.520 --> 0:25:56.760
<v Speaker 6>on board. So it's a really great time to try

0:25:56.760 --> 0:25:58.280
<v Speaker 6>a pixel all right.

0:25:58.320 --> 0:26:01.160
<v Speaker 1>So you've got Pixel eight startup at six hundred ninety

0:26:01.200 --> 0:26:03.680
<v Speaker 1>nine dollars. You've got Pixel eight Pro starting at nine

0:26:03.800 --> 0:26:07.360
<v Speaker 1>hundred ninety nine dollars. Also there's a deal I saw

0:26:07.359 --> 0:26:09.439
<v Speaker 1>if you pre order, you might get a free watch.

0:26:10.080 --> 0:26:12.640
<v Speaker 6>I think we have some amazing pre order promotions going

0:26:12.680 --> 0:26:14.920
<v Speaker 6>on right now, so definitely worth giving those a try.

0:26:15.320 --> 0:26:16.440
<v Speaker 2>And when are these available?

0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:18.760
<v Speaker 7>These are available October twelfth.

0:26:19.200 --> 0:26:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, October twelfth. There you go.

0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:24.000

<v Speaker 1>on social media. I am at rich on tech, I'm

0:26:59.640 --> 0:27:04.160
<v Speaker 1>on in, I'm on Facebook X and am I still

0:27:04.200 --> 0:27:06.320
<v Speaker 1>on Threads? I'm not sure. I haven't really logged into

0:27:06.320 --> 0:27:09.439
<v Speaker 1>that one in a while. It's been a bit, but

0:27:09.640 --> 0:27:12.560
<v Speaker 1>I know they're trying, but I feel like Twitter is

0:27:12.600 --> 0:27:15.360
<v Speaker 1>still there and Threads is like, I don't know, it's

0:27:15.400 --> 0:27:18.879
<v Speaker 1>just tough to like try to be everywhere all at once,

0:27:18.960 --> 0:27:21.320
<v Speaker 1>and Threads just doesn't feel alive enough for me at

0:27:21.320 --> 0:27:24.399
<v Speaker 1>this point. So I'm there, but it's just not like

0:27:24.720 --> 0:27:27.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm not putting a lot of effort into it. Mary

0:27:27.359 --> 0:27:30.080
<v Speaker 1>wrote in on the website rich on tech dot TV. Hey,

0:27:30.160 --> 0:27:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Rich I have an iPhone fourteen and there's one little

0:27:33.119 --> 0:27:36.199
<v Speaker 1>glitch that drives me crazy. I like to keep the

0:27:36.200 --> 0:27:39.920
<v Speaker 1>brightness at its highest level. On its own, the brightness

0:27:39.960 --> 0:27:43.640
<v Speaker 1>will decrease. I've read message boards and watch YouTube videos

0:27:43.680 --> 0:27:45.840
<v Speaker 1>followed various directions, and yet no matter what I do

0:27:45.880 --> 0:27:48.800
<v Speaker 1>in settings, the brightness diminishes with no direction from me,

0:27:49.000 --> 0:27:51.400
<v Speaker 1>all on its own. Any ideas, Thanks?

0:27:51.560 --> 0:27:51.879
<v Speaker 9>Mary?

0:27:51.960 --> 0:27:55.760
<v Speaker 1>I enjoy your radio show on KFI. Mary, you should

0:27:55.760 --> 0:27:57.960
<v Speaker 1>have just emailed me first. You would have saved yourself

0:27:58.000 --> 0:28:01.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of time. So yeah, yes, the iPhone on

0:28:01.600 --> 0:28:04.920
<v Speaker 1>its own will adjust the brightness the brightness that you have.

0:28:05.000 --> 0:28:08.160
<v Speaker 1>That slider is kind of a suggestion, and the iPhone

0:28:08.200 --> 0:28:10.000
<v Speaker 1>learns kind of like do you like it brighter?

0:28:10.119 --> 0:28:11.120
<v Speaker 2>Do you like it dimmer?

0:28:11.560 --> 0:28:13.560
<v Speaker 1>And at the same time you can always adjust it,

0:28:13.600 --> 0:28:14.960
<v Speaker 1>but the iPhone's going to do it at the end

0:28:14.960 --> 0:28:20.040
<v Speaker 1>of the day by itself. But there is in the

0:28:20.080 --> 0:28:24.480
<v Speaker 1>accessibility settings a way to override this. So Mary, I

0:28:24.480 --> 0:28:28.240
<v Speaker 1>hope you're still listening. Go into these settings app tap

0:28:28.359 --> 0:28:34.199
<v Speaker 1>accessibility and then tap display and text size and scroll

0:28:34.760 --> 0:28:40.320
<v Speaker 1>to auto brightness. So again settings, go to settings Accessibility,

0:28:40.720 --> 0:28:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Display and text Size, scroll all the way down and

0:28:43.280 --> 0:28:45.840
<v Speaker 1>at the bottom it says auto brightness and you can

0:28:45.880 --> 0:28:48.480
<v Speaker 1>toggle that off and whatever you set the brightness to be,

0:28:48.960 --> 0:28:51.479
<v Speaker 1>that's where it will stay. Now, keep in mind the

0:28:51.520 --> 0:28:55.120
<v Speaker 1>iPhone does the brightness on its own because it manages

0:28:55.200 --> 0:28:57.440
<v Speaker 1>the battery and the power, and so if you set

0:28:57.440 --> 0:28:59.840
<v Speaker 1>your brightness at a level that's really high, you're going

0:28:59.880 --> 0:29:02.640
<v Speaker 1>to eat through your battery a lot faster. So great question,

0:29:03.280 --> 0:29:06.360
<v Speaker 1>and thanks for emailing and thanks for listening. So to

0:29:06.440 --> 0:29:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Robert in Seal Beach, Robert, you're.

0:29:08.400 --> 0:29:08.960
<v Speaker 2>On with Rich.

0:29:10.760 --> 0:29:14.480
<v Speaker 10>Hello, Rich, good to you. I know you have a

0:29:14.520 --> 0:29:16.320
<v Speaker 10>guest coming up, or maybe you already had it and

0:29:16.360 --> 0:29:18.440
<v Speaker 10>I admitted it about VPNs.

0:29:18.440 --> 0:29:21.640
<v Speaker 2>Correct, hasn't hasn't been on yet?

0:29:22.560 --> 0:29:25.040
<v Speaker 10>Okay, good, I'll look forward to hearing it then. So

0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:28.120
<v Speaker 10>my question is this on my iPhone, on my iPad,

0:29:28.360 --> 0:29:35.200
<v Speaker 10>on my MacBook. I installed VPN several years ago, and

0:29:35.240 --> 0:29:37.200
<v Speaker 10>I use it word even if I'm at home. I

0:29:37.320 --> 0:29:40.680
<v Speaker 10>use the VPN, and my friend said that I shouldn't

0:29:40.760 --> 0:29:43.760
<v Speaker 10>do that because it's not necessary. Number one, And he

0:29:43.840 --> 0:29:47.200
<v Speaker 10>thinks his interference with my if I'm engaging with Best

0:29:47.240 --> 0:29:50.720
<v Speaker 10>Buys or I'm engaging with Staples, he thinks that using

0:29:50.760 --> 0:29:56.720
<v Speaker 10>my VPN can alter my my information with those companies.

0:29:57.160 --> 0:30:00.640
<v Speaker 10>But I think that. I mean, I can scroll. I

0:30:00.680 --> 0:30:04.720
<v Speaker 10>see all these different Wi Fi addresses of my neighbors,

0:30:05.000 --> 0:30:07.920
<v Speaker 10>so therefore I think they can see mine. So I

0:30:08.040 --> 0:30:11.120
<v Speaker 10>just try to I don't know, mask it or hide it,

0:30:11.240 --> 0:30:13.160
<v Speaker 10>or I just don't want somebody trying to hack in

0:30:13.200 --> 0:30:16.320
<v Speaker 10>because they know I'm living next door or I'm met

0:30:16.320 --> 0:30:19.920
<v Speaker 10>this at the dinner table next to them. Is there

0:30:20.280 --> 0:30:22.520
<v Speaker 10>such thing as overusing a VPN.

0:30:23.080 --> 0:30:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, let's put it this way. It's funny.

0:30:25.040 --> 0:30:27.760
<v Speaker 1>I was just having this conversation with my wife last night.

0:30:27.800 --> 0:30:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Because I travel, and you know that, you hear so

0:30:30.880 --> 0:30:33.600
<v Speaker 1>many ads for VPNs, and so many people are promoting

0:30:33.680 --> 0:30:36.680
<v Speaker 1>VPNs because there's a lot of money in VPNs. So

0:30:37.360 --> 0:30:39.920
<v Speaker 1>wherever there's money, there's going to be a lot of promotion.

0:30:40.200 --> 0:30:42.680
<v Speaker 1>And so people love to talk about why you need

0:30:42.680 --> 0:30:46.880
<v Speaker 1>a VPN. Now I will tell you that I don't.

0:30:47.040 --> 0:30:50.280
<v Speaker 1>And look, we have this guest coming up, David Werta

0:30:50.360 --> 0:30:51.680
<v Speaker 1>is going to talk to us about this, so I

0:30:51.720 --> 0:30:53.600
<v Speaker 1>think he's more of an expert in this than I am,

0:30:53.880 --> 0:30:55.880
<v Speaker 1>but I'll get his take on when you should use one.

0:30:56.400 --> 0:30:58.840
<v Speaker 1>But I think in general, if you're at home, I

0:30:58.920 --> 0:31:00.920
<v Speaker 1>don't think you need a VPN. You are on your

0:31:00.920 --> 0:31:03.960
<v Speaker 1>home network, you are secured. Just because someone could see

0:31:04.000 --> 0:31:07.320
<v Speaker 1>your Wi Fi network name does not mean they're able

0:31:07.360 --> 0:31:09.400
<v Speaker 1>to hack into your network, and there are ways of

0:31:09.440 --> 0:31:12.560
<v Speaker 1>actually hiding that as well. On your router settings, you

0:31:12.600 --> 0:31:16.840
<v Speaker 1>can turn off what's called broadcast SSID, which means when

0:31:16.880 --> 0:31:19.440
<v Speaker 1>you go on there, you will not see your home

0:31:19.480 --> 0:31:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Wi Fi network. So if you want to add a

0:31:21.200 --> 0:31:26.320
<v Speaker 1>layer of mystery and cloak your WiFi, no one else

0:31:26.360 --> 0:31:29.960
<v Speaker 1>could see that if you turn off broadcast SSID. So

0:31:30.240 --> 0:31:32.680
<v Speaker 1>most people do not do that. It makes life a

0:31:32.720 --> 0:31:35.040
<v Speaker 1>little bit more complicated. But to connect to your Wi

0:31:35.040 --> 0:31:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Fi network, all you'd have to do is manually type

0:31:38.120 --> 0:31:40.920
<v Speaker 1>in your network ID and your password, and it would

0:31:40.920 --> 0:31:44.000
<v Speaker 1>still find it and log in obviously if you're within range.

0:31:44.040 --> 0:31:45.800
<v Speaker 1>But other people would not be able to see that.

0:31:45.840 --> 0:31:49.160
<v Speaker 1>So that's one kind of barrier between you and someone

0:31:49.160 --> 0:31:51.600
<v Speaker 1>that's trying to get in on your network. Now, most

0:31:51.600 --> 0:31:53.440
<v Speaker 1>of the time people are not trying to get into

0:31:53.440 --> 0:31:55.120
<v Speaker 1>your Wi Fi network at home. If you live in

0:31:55.120 --> 0:31:57.680
<v Speaker 1>a place with a lot of networks, sure, I get it,

0:31:57.720 --> 0:32:00.680
<v Speaker 1>you don't want your stuff. Also, I was just helping

0:32:00.720 --> 0:32:04.000
<v Speaker 1>my sister set up her network, and her Wi Fi

0:32:04.360 --> 0:32:07.680
<v Speaker 1>name was a combination of her and her kid, and

0:32:07.720 --> 0:32:11.080
<v Speaker 1>then the password was something that was also similar, And

0:32:11.120 --> 0:32:13.560
<v Speaker 1>I said, look, no, no, no, no, no, you never want

0:32:13.560 --> 0:32:16.600
<v Speaker 1>to set your home Wi Fi as something that identifies

0:32:16.680 --> 0:32:19.920
<v Speaker 1>who you are. Don't put in your name, don't put

0:32:19.920 --> 0:32:22.800
<v Speaker 1>in your address, don't put in your pets name, because

0:32:22.800 --> 0:32:27.160
<v Speaker 1>those are all signals. So if someone's driving across your

0:32:27.280 --> 0:32:29.920
<v Speaker 1>street and oh gosh, there used to be a term

0:32:29.960 --> 0:32:33.200
<v Speaker 1>for this that I'm trying to remember. Oh it was

0:32:33.240 --> 0:32:35.720
<v Speaker 1>like Wi Fi warring or something, But I kind of

0:32:35.760 --> 0:32:38.840
<v Speaker 1>remember what that term was. But you know, people used

0:32:38.840 --> 0:32:40.600
<v Speaker 1>to do this when Wi Fi first came out. They'd

0:32:40.640 --> 0:32:42.240
<v Speaker 1>have a little fun with it and try to figure

0:32:42.240 --> 0:32:44.200
<v Speaker 1>out the network and the password and all that stuff.

0:32:44.200 --> 0:32:44.920
<v Speaker 2>And they still do.

0:32:45.600 --> 0:32:50.800
<v Speaker 1>But my point is, please use a nondescript Wi Fi

0:32:50.920 --> 0:32:55.280
<v Speaker 1>name and a nondescript Wi Fi password that is very strong, because, yeah,

0:32:55.320 --> 0:32:58.400
<v Speaker 1>if someone gets into your password on your Wi Fi network,

0:32:58.480 --> 0:33:00.360
<v Speaker 1>they're going to be able to access all of those

0:33:00.400 --> 0:33:02.680
<v Speaker 1>things that are on your network, which is, you know,

0:33:02.720 --> 0:33:05.160
<v Speaker 1>your smart home stuff. They can sniff on your network

0:33:05.200 --> 0:33:07.360
<v Speaker 1>see what you're you know, trying to pass by on there.

0:33:07.600 --> 0:33:09.959
<v Speaker 1>So yes, you want to lock down your network. But

0:33:10.640 --> 0:33:13.040
<v Speaker 1>to answer your question, Robert, when do I think you

0:33:13.080 --> 0:33:16.480
<v Speaker 1>need a VPN. I think you need a VPN when

0:33:16.520 --> 0:33:19.520
<v Speaker 1>you are on a public Wi Fi network and you

0:33:19.560 --> 0:33:23.920
<v Speaker 1>are accessing a sensitive website like your banking information, your

0:33:23.920 --> 0:33:26.000
<v Speaker 1>credit card, things like not even your credit card really

0:33:26.040 --> 0:33:29.840
<v Speaker 1>just your banking you know, your personal bank, And so

0:33:29.920 --> 0:33:32.520
<v Speaker 1>that's when I think you need it. I travel a lot,

0:33:32.680 --> 0:33:35.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm on different Wi Fi networks all the time, and

0:33:35.760 --> 0:33:38.520
<v Speaker 1>ninety nine percent of the time websites are encrypted to

0:33:38.560 --> 0:33:42.520
<v Speaker 1>begin with, the connection between you and that website is locked.

0:33:43.000 --> 0:33:45.200
<v Speaker 1>And so most of the time what you're passing through

0:33:45.200 --> 0:33:48.200
<v Speaker 1>those websites is secured. But if you want that extra

0:33:48.280 --> 0:33:51.280
<v Speaker 1>level of security, go ahead use the VPN. It's not

0:33:51.320 --> 0:33:53.040
<v Speaker 1>going to mess things up. In fact, when I tried

0:33:53.040 --> 0:33:56.040
<v Speaker 1>to log into my bank using my VPN on a

0:33:56.240 --> 0:33:58.800
<v Speaker 1>mobile network, they wouldn't let me. I had to actually

0:33:58.880 --> 0:34:02.760
<v Speaker 1>turn off the the VPN to get in. So again,

0:34:02.760 --> 0:34:05.080
<v Speaker 1>if you're on a cellular connection, you do not need

0:34:05.120 --> 0:34:08.400
<v Speaker 1>a VPN. That connection is very, very secure. If you're

0:34:08.440 --> 0:34:10.400
<v Speaker 1>on your home Wi Fi network, I don't think you

0:34:10.480 --> 0:34:12.600
<v Speaker 1>need it. If you're on a public Wi Fi network

0:34:12.640 --> 0:34:15.640
<v Speaker 1>and you're accessing something that's very sensitive, that's when I

0:34:15.680 --> 0:34:17.680
<v Speaker 1>think it kicks in. But again, we're gonna have a

0:34:17.760 --> 0:34:20.399
<v Speaker 1>VPN expert a little bit later on in the show.

0:34:20.480 --> 0:34:22.719
<v Speaker 1>We will ask him this exact question and he will

0:34:22.760 --> 0:34:24.080
<v Speaker 1>give us some information about that.

0:34:24.560 --> 0:34:25.120
<v Speaker 2>Good question.

0:34:25.239 --> 0:34:28.319
<v Speaker 1>Robert, thanks for calling the show at triple eight rich

0:34:28.360 --> 0:34:30.560
<v Speaker 1>one oh one. That's eighty eight seven four to two

0:34:31.239 --> 0:34:35.239
<v Speaker 1>for one zero one. Speaking of hacking, this is the

0:34:35.280 --> 0:34:38.279
<v Speaker 1>way people get hacked. So twenty three and meters has

0:34:38.360 --> 0:34:41.840
<v Speaker 1>confirmed that user data is being sold on hacker forms

0:34:42.320 --> 0:34:45.839
<v Speaker 1>following a attack on their website. And how did these

0:34:45.880 --> 0:34:48.799
<v Speaker 1>hackers get into their website? They didn't sit there and

0:34:48.840 --> 0:34:52.120
<v Speaker 1>try one thousand different combinations of user name and passwords.

0:34:52.160 --> 0:34:52.719
<v Speaker 2>What did they do?

0:34:53.200 --> 0:34:55.680
<v Speaker 1>They went on the web. They found a whole bunch

0:34:55.760 --> 0:34:59.200
<v Speaker 1>of leaked usernames and passwords for other websites, and they

0:34:59.280 --> 0:35:01.239
<v Speaker 1>tried them on twenty three and Me and guess what,

0:35:01.760 --> 0:35:03.759
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of them worked. A bunch of them gave

0:35:03.800 --> 0:35:07.640
<v Speaker 1>them the login. Because what happens. People reuse the same

0:35:07.800 --> 0:35:10.640
<v Speaker 1>username and the same password across a whole bunch of

0:35:10.680 --> 0:35:14.799
<v Speaker 1>different websites thinking it'll be fine, nobody's targeting them, and

0:35:14.880 --> 0:35:18.479
<v Speaker 1>guess what, this is what happens. So the initial leak

0:35:18.680 --> 0:35:23.400
<v Speaker 1>was one million lines of ancestry data. Now they're selling

0:35:23.440 --> 0:35:26.040
<v Speaker 1>this twenty three in me account data for a dollar

0:35:26.120 --> 0:35:32.000
<v Speaker 1>to ten dollars per profile. The data includes names, usernames, photos, sex,

0:35:32.440 --> 0:35:36.600
<v Speaker 1>birth date, ancestry results, and location. That's a lot of information.

0:35:37.080 --> 0:35:39.480
<v Speaker 1>So if you did the swab for twenty three and

0:35:39.560 --> 0:35:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Me and a lot of you have, and you reused

0:35:43.080 --> 0:35:46.759
<v Speaker 1>your password and user name somewhere else, your information could

0:35:46.760 --> 0:35:50.200
<v Speaker 1>be out there. Twenty three in me says affected accounts

0:35:50.239 --> 0:35:53.600
<v Speaker 1>had opted into the DNA relatives feature. What do they

0:35:53.600 --> 0:35:56.520
<v Speaker 1>say to protect yourself in the future. Encourage two factor

0:35:56.880 --> 0:36:01.400
<v Speaker 1>use two factor authentication, and use a unique password. Good

<v Speaker 1>and your message and it arrives right to my inbox.

0:36:53.840 --> 0:36:56.880
<v Speaker 1>So this week, you know, we are in the slide

0:36:57.040 --> 0:37:00.319
<v Speaker 1>to the holidays. I called the slide because it is

0:37:00.400 --> 0:37:05.400
<v Speaker 1>just like a slippery slope. You know, it's like Halloween's

0:37:05.440 --> 0:37:09.200
<v Speaker 1>coming up, Thanksgiving then the Holidays. I know, I don't

0:37:09.239 --> 0:37:11.600
<v Speaker 1>want to rush it, but for me, when it comes

0:37:11.640 --> 0:37:14.399
<v Speaker 1>to technology, this is kind of the busiest time because

0:37:14.400 --> 0:37:17.320
<v Speaker 1>people want to know about gifts. All the tech companies

0:37:17.360 --> 0:37:19.919
<v Speaker 1>have new phones coming out and new gadgets coming out

0:37:19.960 --> 0:37:23.560
<v Speaker 1>because there is money to be made on selling this stuff.

0:37:23.640 --> 0:37:26.799
<v Speaker 1>So this week we got the new Pixel phones and

0:37:26.880 --> 0:37:30.800
<v Speaker 1>the new Pixel Watch, which are in stores next week.

0:37:32.040 --> 0:37:34.440
<v Speaker 1>I've also noticed a new trend too with all of

0:37:34.440 --> 0:37:38.399
<v Speaker 1>this technology. It's getting announced and then available a lot

0:37:38.480 --> 0:37:41.400
<v Speaker 1>quicker than before. Used to be like they would announce

0:37:41.440 --> 0:37:43.040
<v Speaker 1>it and then it was available in like a couple

0:37:43.040 --> 0:37:46.040
<v Speaker 1>of weeks. Now it's becoming like a week to two weeks.

0:37:46.520 --> 0:37:47.759
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, if you bought one of those

0:37:47.760 --> 0:37:51.880
<v Speaker 1>new iPhone fifteens recently that were hot, you know, if

0:37:51.880 --> 0:37:53.520
<v Speaker 1>you went on a ski trip, you wouldn't need to

0:37:53.520 --> 0:37:56.239
<v Speaker 1>bring anything except an iPhone fifteen as your handwarmer because

0:37:56.239 --> 0:37:58.480
<v Speaker 1>they were getting that warm. So if you had that

0:37:58.640 --> 0:38:03.520
<v Speaker 1>problem and update your phone to iOS seventeen point zero

0:38:03.600 --> 0:38:08.520
<v Speaker 1>point three, and this supposedly fixes the iPhone fifteen overheating bug.

0:38:10.120 --> 0:38:13.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I guess it's running less warm than it

0:38:13.120 --> 0:38:17.360
<v Speaker 1>was before, but seventeen point zero point three fixes the

0:38:17.480 --> 0:38:20.480
<v Speaker 1>bugs that were causing the models to run hot. Lots

0:38:20.480 --> 0:38:23.600
<v Speaker 1>of people were complaining about overheating iPhones after the launch,

0:38:24.160 --> 0:38:27.279
<v Speaker 1>Apple said it was not a hardware or design flaw.

0:38:27.400 --> 0:38:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Some people said it was due to the titanium. Apple

0:38:30.440 --> 0:38:33.839
<v Speaker 1>says it was just software related and this should resolve it.

0:38:34.120 --> 0:38:37.080
<v Speaker 1>They actually blame some third party apps like Instagram and

0:38:37.160 --> 0:38:43.279
<v Speaker 1>Uber for overloading the processor. Come on, really, like Instagram's

0:38:43.320 --> 0:38:45.960
<v Speaker 1>been around forever, Uber's been around forever. You're telling me

0:38:46.000 --> 0:38:49.719
<v Speaker 1>that this phone is like made running hot because of that.

0:38:49.880 --> 0:38:52.799
<v Speaker 1>I don't know whatever, whatever it was, they seem to

0:38:52.800 --> 0:38:55.040
<v Speaker 1>have fixed it. We'll see in a week or so

0:38:55.040 --> 0:38:57.560
<v Speaker 1>if people are still complaining now. The thing is, anytime

0:38:57.560 --> 0:38:59.319
<v Speaker 1>you set up a new phone, it's always gonna run

0:38:59.320 --> 0:39:01.279
<v Speaker 1>a little bit hotter. You're using it more because you're

0:39:01.280 --> 0:39:03.879
<v Speaker 1>trying to like get all the apps downloaded, try out

0:39:03.880 --> 0:39:07.279
<v Speaker 1>the new features, all that stuff. But Apple says, in

0:39:07.320 --> 0:39:11.000
<v Speaker 1>stall this and hopefully it should fix any overheating issues.

0:39:11.360 --> 0:39:11.799
<v Speaker 2>It's weird.

0:39:11.840 --> 0:39:14.200
<v Speaker 1>There were like three updates for the brand new iPhone

0:39:14.239 --> 0:39:19.360
<v Speaker 1>within two weeks. That's pretty rare with Apple. Let's see

0:39:19.400 --> 0:39:23.680
<v Speaker 1>what else we got. An email from Jennifer says, Hey, Rich,

0:39:23.680 --> 0:39:26.279
<v Speaker 1>I've got an iPhone thirteen Pro and a one year

0:39:26.280 --> 0:39:30.280
<v Speaker 1>old iPad. I'm at a campground in Tennessee with great WiFi. However,

0:39:30.360 --> 0:39:32.880
<v Speaker 1>my devices will not stay logged in. You can imagine

0:39:32.920 --> 0:39:35.040
<v Speaker 1>how annoying it is to re enter the password multiple

0:39:35.080 --> 0:39:37.799
<v Speaker 1>times each day. I have the network saved with both

0:39:37.840 --> 0:39:41.120
<v Speaker 1>auto join and auto login. My phone is running iOS

0:39:41.160 --> 0:39:43.920
<v Speaker 1>sixteen point six point one. We stayed here last year,

0:39:43.960 --> 0:39:46.680
<v Speaker 1>same devices didn't have this problem. Do you have any

0:39:46.680 --> 0:39:49.080
<v Speaker 1>suggestions for additional settings I should try? Do you think

0:39:49.120 --> 0:39:51.800
<v Speaker 1>this is something with the provider's Wi Fi. I always

0:39:51.880 --> 0:39:54.080
<v Speaker 1>value your input and look forward to listening to you

0:39:54.719 --> 0:39:58.280
<v Speaker 1>on your show via the app while I'm on the road. Jennifer,

0:39:58.640 --> 0:40:01.080
<v Speaker 1>I had this same exact problem at my hotel in

0:40:01.120 --> 0:40:03.719
<v Speaker 1>New York City, and I don't understand what the deal is,

0:40:03.760 --> 0:40:06.200
<v Speaker 1>but I think I may have something you can try.

0:40:06.239 --> 0:40:10.279
<v Speaker 1>But yes, I was logged into the hotel Wi Fi

0:40:10.880 --> 0:40:13.120
<v Speaker 1>and every single day, even though I selected like two

0:40:13.239 --> 0:40:15.359
<v Speaker 1>or three days for the Wi Fi connection, it kept

0:40:15.440 --> 0:40:17.840
<v Speaker 1>making me log in. Now, maybe that's because I have

0:40:17.880 --> 0:40:20.160
<v Speaker 1>like fifteen devices that I log in on the Wi

0:40:20.160 --> 0:40:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Fi and most people don't. And I've also noticed that

0:40:22.640 --> 0:40:25.759
<v Speaker 1>hotels are now kind of making you pay if you

0:40:25.800 --> 0:40:28.439
<v Speaker 1>have more than two devices on your WiFi in the room,

0:40:28.560 --> 0:40:31.960
<v Speaker 1>so watch out for that. But here's the only thing

0:40:32.000 --> 0:40:34.640
<v Speaker 1>I can think of. On the new versions of iOS,

0:40:34.680 --> 0:40:36.920
<v Speaker 1>and this may be different than last year, they do

0:40:37.000 --> 0:40:41.680
<v Speaker 1>have this like private Wi Fi address, So sometimes the

0:40:41.719 --> 0:40:45.320
<v Speaker 1>iPhone will generate a different address that makes your phone

0:40:45.320 --> 0:40:47.799
<v Speaker 1>look like it might be a different device. And so

0:40:47.880 --> 0:40:49.480
<v Speaker 1>when it does that, it does that to protect your

0:40:49.520 --> 0:40:52.200
<v Speaker 1>privacy so they can't track you as much. But the

0:40:52.239 --> 0:40:54.759
<v Speaker 1>Wi Fi network may see that and it may say, oh,

0:40:54.800 --> 0:40:56.359
<v Speaker 1>this is a new device, so we need to log

0:40:56.400 --> 0:40:59.319
<v Speaker 1>in again. So you can try this, go into the

0:40:59.400 --> 0:41:01.080
<v Speaker 1>once you're kind of it's to the Wi Fi network

0:41:01.160 --> 0:41:04.960
<v Speaker 1>on your iPhone, tap the I next to the Wi

0:41:04.960 --> 0:41:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Fi network's name, and there's a setting that says private

0:41:08.360 --> 0:41:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Wi Fi address. Turn that off and see if that

0:41:12.800 --> 0:41:15.640
<v Speaker 1>helps with the reconnection. That's really the only thing I

0:41:15.640 --> 0:41:19.279
<v Speaker 1>can think of that's causing the reconnection unless you're using

0:41:19.280 --> 0:41:23.480
<v Speaker 1>a VPN and it's cloaking your phone and your iPad's

0:41:23.520 --> 0:41:26.040
<v Speaker 1>information and that's why it's wanting to reconnect.

0:41:26.520 --> 0:41:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Or it could just.

0:41:27.520 --> 0:41:30.399
<v Speaker 1>Be that this Wi Fi is set up on the

0:41:30.440 --> 0:41:33.880
<v Speaker 1>network side to ask you to reconnect every twelve hours,

0:41:33.920 --> 0:41:37.160
<v Speaker 1>every twenty four hours, so that may be what's happening here.

0:41:37.200 --> 0:41:38.920
<v Speaker 1>But that's the only thing I can think of is

0:41:38.960 --> 0:41:42.399
<v Speaker 1>go into your Wi Fi settings, tap the I next

0:41:42.400 --> 0:41:45.239
<v Speaker 1>to the network that you're connected to, and disable the

0:41:45.960 --> 0:41:49.840
<v Speaker 1>private Wi Fi address and see if that helps. Jennifer,

0:41:49.880 --> 0:41:54.399
<v Speaker 1>thanks for listening to the show from the road. Let's

0:41:54.400 --> 0:41:56.000
<v Speaker 1>see what else do I want to talk about. I

0:41:56.000 --> 0:41:59.480
<v Speaker 1>wanted to talk about the new pixel Watch too, so

0:41:59.600 --> 0:42:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I've been it for just a day now. It looks

0:42:02.160 --> 0:42:05.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot like the first pixel Watch. This is Google's

0:42:05.840 --> 0:42:08.480
<v Speaker 1>new pixel Watch that is upgraded last year's pixel Watch.

0:42:08.520 --> 0:42:09.560
<v Speaker 2>I honestly, I didn't.

0:42:09.320 --> 0:42:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Even review it because I wore it for a week

0:42:11.280 --> 0:42:14.200
<v Speaker 1>and I just was not impressed. It was kind of underpowered,

0:42:14.680 --> 0:42:16.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of felt like a glorified Fitbit. It just was

0:42:17.000 --> 0:42:19.120
<v Speaker 1>not something that I think i'd recommend to my audience.

0:42:19.640 --> 0:42:22.120
<v Speaker 1>So I just kind of like didn't really do much

0:42:22.160 --> 0:42:24.040
<v Speaker 1>on it. I talked about it that it's there, but

0:42:24.040 --> 0:42:27.280
<v Speaker 1>I didn't really recommend it. This year, they say everything

0:42:27.360 --> 0:42:30.000
<v Speaker 1>has changed. We'll have an interview with the product manager

0:42:30.040 --> 0:42:32.799
<v Speaker 1>for Google Wearables coming up later this hour, so he'll

0:42:32.800 --> 0:42:35.080
<v Speaker 1>talk more about it, but I'll just give you the basics.

0:42:35.440 --> 0:42:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Better performance. Got a new quad core cpu. They went

0:42:38.400 --> 0:42:40.440
<v Speaker 1>out to Qualcom this time instead of their own, and

0:42:40.480 --> 0:42:44.160
<v Speaker 1>so it's faster, they said. The battery life is greatly improved.

0:42:44.160 --> 0:42:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Now it's twenty four hours and it's always on by default.

0:42:47.320 --> 0:42:49.799
<v Speaker 1>Last year it wasn't you could toggle it on, but

0:42:49.960 --> 0:42:52.239
<v Speaker 1>they took that feature, you know, they made it so

0:42:52.280 --> 0:42:54.160
<v Speaker 1>it was just the screen would go dark when you

0:42:54.200 --> 0:42:56.080
<v Speaker 1>weren't using it because the battery wasn't that good, and

0:42:56.120 --> 0:42:59.160
<v Speaker 1>they knew that. This year, always on is on by default,

0:42:59.200 --> 0:43:02.399
<v Speaker 1>which of course is shit. Be new health sensors for

0:43:02.440 --> 0:43:05.719
<v Speaker 1>the health rate, heart rate, stress. I love that it

0:43:05.800 --> 0:43:09.080
<v Speaker 1>tracks your stress and also sleep tracking, so I wore

0:43:09.080 --> 0:43:11.680
<v Speaker 1>it to bed last night tracked my sleep. I got

0:43:11.840 --> 0:43:14.240
<v Speaker 1>very very good sleep last night, so thank you fitbit

0:43:14.280 --> 0:43:16.879
<v Speaker 1>for telling me that, although my rating was only eighty

0:43:16.920 --> 0:43:19.319
<v Speaker 1>one out of one hundred. So that is the reason

0:43:19.360 --> 0:43:21.800
<v Speaker 1>why I don't like wearing these things to bed, because

0:43:21.800 --> 0:43:23.440
<v Speaker 1>you wake up, you feel great, and then you look

0:43:23.440 --> 0:43:25.359
<v Speaker 1>at your score and it's horrible, and I'm like, wait

0:43:25.360 --> 0:43:26.560
<v Speaker 1>a second, what could I do better?

0:43:28.000 --> 0:43:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Stress? I think is awesome.

0:43:29.160 --> 0:43:31.120
<v Speaker 1>It will actually tell you when you're stressed out, so

0:43:31.160 --> 0:43:32.919
<v Speaker 1>you may not want to wear this new watch to work.

0:43:33.480 --> 0:43:37.600
<v Speaker 1>It also now has fall detection, emergency SOS, and safety check.

0:43:38.040 --> 0:43:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Those are really important features because obviously, if you take

0:43:40.920 --> 0:43:43.880
<v Speaker 1>a fall, it can call for help. Emergency SOS can

0:43:43.920 --> 0:43:46.239
<v Speaker 1>call your friends in the event of an emergency, and

0:43:46.440 --> 0:43:49.239
<v Speaker 1>safety check you can set like an hour and say hey,

0:43:49.360 --> 0:43:52.120
<v Speaker 1>if I don't respond in an hour or do something,

0:43:52.400 --> 0:43:54.840
<v Speaker 1>please tell people that they need to check on me.

0:43:55.440 --> 0:43:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Comes with six months of free Fitbit Premium.

0:43:58.680 --> 0:44:00.680
<v Speaker 2>It works with a Fitbit at it is this app.

0:44:00.760 --> 0:44:03.920
<v Speaker 1>It sort of is still like a glorified Fitbit, but

0:44:04.360 --> 0:44:08.560
<v Speaker 1>this watch definitely feels better, has some new watch faces.

0:44:08.680 --> 0:44:11.640
<v Speaker 1>It's three hundred and fifty dollars. It's available October twelfth,

0:44:12.239 --> 0:44:16.520
<v Speaker 1>and it's just it's overall seeming like it's better. I

0:44:16.600 --> 0:44:18.920
<v Speaker 1>still think that the Apple Watch is the king of

0:44:19.080 --> 0:44:22.120
<v Speaker 1>smart watches, but I think if you don't need something

0:44:22.160 --> 0:44:25.680
<v Speaker 1>that robust, I actually really enjoy this watch, especially because

0:44:26.160 --> 0:44:28.600
<v Speaker 1>it has a lot of the googlely things built in.

0:44:29.200 --> 0:44:32.879
<v Speaker 1>So it's got Google Assistant, it's got Google Maps, it's

0:44:32.880 --> 0:44:36.359
<v Speaker 1>got Google YouTube Music if you like that.

0:44:36.400 --> 0:44:38.040
<v Speaker 2>It's got Spotify if you like that.

0:44:38.280 --> 0:44:40.640
<v Speaker 1>So it's got a lot of little things that the

0:44:40.680 --> 0:44:42.759
<v Speaker 1>Apple Watch has some of those things, But if you

0:44:42.920 --> 0:44:46.040
<v Speaker 1>really like Google. I think that this watch is a

0:44:46.120 --> 0:44:48.239
<v Speaker 1>nice thing that if you don't expect too much from

0:44:48.280 --> 0:44:50.879
<v Speaker 1>your watch, it's not a bad device. By the way,

0:44:51.480 --> 0:44:53.919
<v Speaker 1>I talk about my wife lock because we chat about

0:44:53.920 --> 0:44:55.480
<v Speaker 1>this stuff at home. I know, I always say, I

0:44:55.520 --> 0:44:57.520
<v Speaker 1>know you don't care about this stuff, but I'm telling

0:44:57.520 --> 0:44:59.759
<v Speaker 1>you anyway because it's my life. But we were talking

0:44:59.800 --> 0:45:02.480
<v Speaker 1>about the different watches, and she was like, isn't it

0:45:02.520 --> 0:45:06.080
<v Speaker 1>funny that people always want an iPhone but they use

0:45:06.120 --> 0:45:09.239
<v Speaker 1>so many Google products, Like they use Gmail, they use

0:45:09.320 --> 0:45:13.839
<v Speaker 1>Google Chrome, they use you know what, Google maps, they

0:45:13.960 --> 0:45:16.439
<v Speaker 1>use YouTube, but yet everyone wants an iPhone. I said,

0:45:16.440 --> 0:45:18.839
<v Speaker 1>hold on, are you punking me right now? Because this

0:45:18.880 --> 0:45:21.520
<v Speaker 1>is Google's advertisements. Did you watch an ad for this?

0:45:21.960 --> 0:45:25.839
<v Speaker 1>Because Google's new ad for the Pixel phones is kind

0:45:25.840 --> 0:45:28.400
<v Speaker 1>of riffing on that. They say, oh, you want a

0:45:28.400 --> 0:45:32.120
<v Speaker 1>brand you can trust because you want the iPhone and

0:45:32.160 --> 0:45:34.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe they don't name Apple, but they say they go,

0:45:34.600 --> 0:45:38.880
<v Speaker 1>but you also use Google, Chrome, Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube.

0:45:39.080 --> 0:45:42.040
<v Speaker 1>You're already using so many Google products. Why not make

0:45:42.080 --> 0:45:44.480
<v Speaker 1>your phone a Google product? And so I thought that

0:45:44.520 --> 0:45:46.359
<v Speaker 1>was really funny that she picked up on their entire

0:45:46.440 --> 0:45:49.760
<v Speaker 1>marketing without seeing that ad, which is kind of true.

0:45:49.880 --> 0:45:52.759
<v Speaker 1>But I will say I'm not knocking the iPhone. I

0:45:52.800 --> 0:45:57.000
<v Speaker 1>still think that the iPhone software and hardware is incredible.

0:45:57.560 --> 0:45:59.319
<v Speaker 1>I think that for a lot of people, it's just

0:45:59.360 --> 0:46:01.799
<v Speaker 1>kind of the default. It's the one that people get

0:46:01.840 --> 0:46:03.600
<v Speaker 1>because their friends have it. They want to be on

0:46:03.680 --> 0:46:06.080
<v Speaker 1>I message, they just want to be part of the crowd.

0:46:06.120 --> 0:46:08.480
<v Speaker 1>And I totally understand all of that stuff. Have you

0:46:08.480 --> 0:46:11.680
<v Speaker 1>ever been in a crowd where you say, oh, let

0:46:11.680 --> 0:46:13.319
<v Speaker 1>me share that picture with you and they say, oh cool,

0:46:13.360 --> 0:46:14.960
<v Speaker 1>let me air drop it, and You're just like, wait,

0:46:15.040 --> 0:46:17.600
<v Speaker 1>not everyone on this earth has air drop.

0:46:17.920 --> 0:46:19.600
<v Speaker 2>They just assume you have an iPhone.

0:46:19.719 --> 0:46:22.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's really gotten to the point where we just,

0:46:22.840 --> 0:46:25.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, people just assume everyone else has one, and

0:46:25.600 --> 0:46:28.320
<v Speaker 1>it's not always the case. And yes, iPhone is amazing,

0:46:28.840 --> 0:46:31.759
<v Speaker 1>and I think the ecosystem is really incredible, the fact

0:46:31.760 --> 0:46:34.000
<v Speaker 1>that they have all these things that work really well

0:46:34.040 --> 0:46:37.440
<v Speaker 1>with it. But again it's all sort of like Apple

0:46:37.640 --> 0:46:40.040
<v Speaker 1>telling you what to do, Apple telling you what to have.

0:46:41.320 --> 0:46:43.480
<v Speaker 1>But then again, on the flip side, the accessories for

0:46:43.520 --> 0:46:46.080
<v Speaker 1>the iPhone are also amazing. I was saying that, you know,

0:46:46.239 --> 0:46:48.680
<v Speaker 1>just the amount of accessories that I get sent on

0:46:48.719 --> 0:46:52.279
<v Speaker 1>a monthly basis that deal with the iPhone. They're all

0:46:52.360 --> 0:46:55.880
<v Speaker 1>really fun. Like I was using this little mofed Moft.

0:46:57.040 --> 0:47:01.319
<v Speaker 1>This is a company that makes like magnetic stands, like

0:47:01.440 --> 0:47:04.360
<v Speaker 1>magnetic accessories for the iPhone, and they're just really cool.

0:47:04.400 --> 0:47:07.200
<v Speaker 1>They like unfold and it's like a little tablet stand

0:47:07.239 --> 0:47:10.160
<v Speaker 1>for my, uh my iPhone in the plane. I mean,

0:47:10.160 --> 0:47:11.680
<v Speaker 1>it was just so cool and I was like, oh,

0:47:11.840 --> 0:47:14.480
<v Speaker 1>this is so cool. But it doesn't work on anything Android.

0:47:14.840 --> 0:47:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Because these companies know they sell so many iPhones every year.

0:47:18.120 --> 0:47:19.960
<v Speaker 1>If they can just tap into a little bit of

0:47:19.960 --> 0:47:22.600
<v Speaker 1>that magic, they can sell a whole bunch of accessories

0:47:22.640 --> 0:47:24.760
<v Speaker 1>for them as well. All Right, we got some calls

0:47:24.760 --> 0:47:26.879
<v Speaker 1>lined up at Triple eight. Rich one O one eight

0:47:26.880 --> 0:47:30.160
<v Speaker 1>eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

0:47:30.440 --> 0:47:33.759
<v Speaker 1>My name is Richdimiro. You are listening to Rich on tech.

0:47:35.320 --> 0:47:38.759
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to Rich on Tech. Let's go to Elsa

0:47:39.960 --> 0:47:41.880
<v Speaker 1>in Plia del Rey, California.

0:47:41.960 --> 0:47:43.040
<v Speaker 2>Elsa, you're on with Rich.

0:47:43.719 --> 0:47:44.879
<v Speaker 4>Hey, Rich, how you doing today?

0:47:45.080 --> 0:47:47.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing fantastic. Hope you can hear it my voice?

0:47:48.000 --> 0:47:51.920
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yes, okay, So I had an email forever I

0:47:52.040 --> 0:47:54.200
<v Speaker 4>was married, I got divorced, and I want to create

0:47:54.239 --> 0:47:56.920
<v Speaker 4>a new one with my with my going back to

0:47:56.960 --> 0:47:59.919
<v Speaker 4>my dad name in any event I want to. I'm

0:48:00.160 --> 0:48:02.600
<v Speaker 4>in social media. I try to stay away from all

0:48:02.600 --> 0:48:04.839
<v Speaker 4>that stuff because I don't want to expose myself. So

0:48:04.880 --> 0:48:10.880
<v Speaker 4>I'm just wondering what's a good email of email company

0:48:11.040 --> 0:48:14.080
<v Speaker 4>or whatever provides that I have MS in right now,

0:48:14.120 --> 0:48:17.000
<v Speaker 4>and I was looking at Max, but I don't want

0:48:17.000 --> 0:48:18.839
<v Speaker 4>to do Gmail because I know they get a lot

0:48:18.840 --> 0:48:21.640
<v Speaker 4>of your information and like I said, I try to

0:48:21.680 --> 0:48:25.080
<v Speaker 4>minimize getting my information out. There is there one email

0:48:25.360 --> 0:48:27.400
<v Speaker 4>provider that's better than another?

0:48:28.120 --> 0:48:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think Gmail is the best, but and actually

0:48:31.719 --> 0:48:35.880
<v Speaker 1>they don't get your information, so Google does, but Gmail.

0:48:36.080 --> 0:48:40.799
<v Speaker 1>So when Gmail first started, they actually used to scan

0:48:40.960 --> 0:48:43.680
<v Speaker 1>your emails to serve up ads.

0:48:43.760 --> 0:48:46.120
<v Speaker 2>They no longer do that. They stop doing that years ago.

0:48:46.280 --> 0:48:48.960
<v Speaker 1>So I think Gmail is still one of the best,

0:48:49.040 --> 0:48:51.120
<v Speaker 1>one of the most secure. But with that said, if

0:48:51.160 --> 0:48:53.439
<v Speaker 1>you don't want it, there are plenty of options out there.

0:48:53.960 --> 0:48:57.160
<v Speaker 1>So some of the other popular ones are something like Outlook,

0:48:57.680 --> 0:48:59.960
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of these are connected to other service

0:49:00.360 --> 0:49:02.560
<v Speaker 1>So to use something like Outlook, you got to sign

0:49:02.640 --> 0:49:05.399
<v Speaker 1>up for a Microsoft account. To use Gmail, you got

0:49:05.400 --> 0:49:07.960
<v Speaker 1>to sign up for a Google account to use Yahoo.

0:49:08.160 --> 0:49:09.600
<v Speaker 2>You got to have a Yahoo account.

0:49:09.640 --> 0:49:13.000
<v Speaker 1>So to me, if you want something that's sort of

0:49:13.160 --> 0:49:16.920
<v Speaker 1>by itself and just kind of independent of anything else,

0:49:17.320 --> 0:49:18.839
<v Speaker 1>then maybe you want to go with one of these

0:49:18.880 --> 0:49:22.520
<v Speaker 1>smaller providers that is kind of independent. So if you

0:49:22.560 --> 0:49:26.040
<v Speaker 1>want something that's really secure in private, which elsa sounds

0:49:26.080 --> 0:49:29.400
<v Speaker 1>like you do, I would check out proton Mail. So

0:49:29.680 --> 0:49:34.600
<v Speaker 1>proton mail is they're known for security, they're known for privacy,

0:49:35.160 --> 0:49:37.480
<v Speaker 1>and so that's a provider that is going to be

0:49:37.520 --> 0:49:40.200
<v Speaker 1>end to end encrypted, and it's just it's a really

0:49:40.520 --> 0:49:45.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of more secure email. Now, the downside to it

0:49:45.440 --> 0:49:48.440
<v Speaker 1>is that you can use it for free, but it

0:49:48.520 --> 0:49:50.759
<v Speaker 1>depends how much storage you're going to get. You're only

0:49:50.800 --> 0:49:54.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna get one gigabyte of storage for free, and once

0:49:54.640 --> 0:49:56.640
<v Speaker 1>you go above that, if you want a little bit more,

0:49:56.680 --> 0:49:58.839
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna have to pay three ninety nine a month

0:49:59.080 --> 0:50:03.160
<v Speaker 1>or about fifty bucks for the year. So I feel

0:50:03.160 --> 0:50:05.360
<v Speaker 1>like with email, unless you have a reason to go

0:50:05.440 --> 0:50:07.120
<v Speaker 1>with a paid account, it's kind of nice to have

0:50:07.160 --> 0:50:08.880
<v Speaker 1>something that's free because you don't really want to think

0:50:08.920 --> 0:50:11.200
<v Speaker 1>about it. But even Google and all of the free

0:50:11.239 --> 0:50:14.520
<v Speaker 1>email providers typically give you about fifteen gigabytes of storage

0:50:14.520 --> 0:50:17.640
<v Speaker 1>for free, so proton mail is something i'd check out.

0:50:18.000 --> 0:50:21.399
<v Speaker 1>The other one is iCloud. If you already have an

0:50:21.400 --> 0:50:24.319
<v Speaker 1>iPhone and you already have kind of like all that

0:50:24.320 --> 0:50:26.280
<v Speaker 1>stuff set up, you can just go onto your iPhone

0:50:26.280 --> 0:50:29.759
<v Speaker 1>and set up a free iCloud email account. So if

0:50:29.800 --> 0:50:31.640
<v Speaker 1>you want to go do that, all you have to

0:50:31.640 --> 0:50:34.960
<v Speaker 1>do is go to your Apple ID and then go

0:50:35.040 --> 0:50:40.600
<v Speaker 1>to iCloud and right there it'll say, let's see where

0:50:40.640 --> 0:50:43.920
<v Speaker 1>is it iCloud mail, and you just tap set up,

0:50:44.080 --> 0:50:46.040
<v Speaker 1>and we'll ask you for your email name and you

0:50:46.080 --> 0:50:48.000
<v Speaker 1>just type that in and your email address would be

0:50:48.000 --> 0:50:51.719
<v Speaker 1>something aticloud dot com. So those are a few of

0:50:51.760 --> 0:50:55.320
<v Speaker 1>the popular ones. Obviously, things like AOL are still around,

0:50:55.800 --> 0:51:00.120
<v Speaker 1>but I can't really wholeheartedly recommend that one. Yahoo who

0:51:00.520 --> 0:51:04.279
<v Speaker 1>even though it's old, it actually they still work on

0:51:04.320 --> 0:51:06.080
<v Speaker 1>it and they still do a lot with it. So

0:51:06.200 --> 0:51:08.719
<v Speaker 1>Yahoo's not a bad way to go. But I think

0:51:08.760 --> 0:51:10.839
<v Speaker 1>those are some of the providers that I would look at.

0:51:11.200 --> 0:51:13.040
<v Speaker 1>And if you have an iPhone, I think the iCloud

0:51:13.080 --> 0:51:15.040
<v Speaker 1>one's pretty simple, but again that does kind of lock

0:51:15.080 --> 0:51:18.040
<v Speaker 1>you into all things Apple, so if you don't, I

0:51:18.080 --> 0:51:21.879
<v Speaker 1>personally prefer third party, independent platforms for everything. I do,

0:51:22.360 --> 0:51:26.279
<v Speaker 1>so I personally do not use that one, but I

0:51:26.320 --> 0:51:27.839
<v Speaker 1>know a lot of people do if they just want

0:51:27.840 --> 0:51:29.000
<v Speaker 1>to stick to Apple stuff.

0:51:29.040 --> 0:51:31.120
<v Speaker 2>So good question, Elsa.

0:51:31.320 --> 0:51:33.799
<v Speaker 1>And you know, no matter what you do, when you

0:51:33.840 --> 0:51:37.320
<v Speaker 1>set up your account, please use a unique password and

0:51:37.400 --> 0:51:41.160
<v Speaker 1>immediately turn on two factor authentication and you will be

0:51:41.200 --> 0:51:44.319
<v Speaker 1>good to go. Thanks for the call, Triple eight rich

0:51:44.360 --> 0:51:47.360
<v Speaker 1>one on one eighty eight seven four to two four

0:51:47.600 --> 0:51:51.719
<v Speaker 1>one zero one, coming up on October tenth. Oh you

0:51:51.760 --> 0:51:53.680
<v Speaker 1>thought I was gonna say, coming up on the show,

0:51:56.000 --> 0:52:00.840
<v Speaker 1>coming up on October tenth. This is Amazon. I'm Big

0:52:00.960 --> 0:52:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Deal Days. How many Prime Days can we have in

0:52:03.520 --> 0:52:05.600
<v Speaker 1>a year? We just got through Prime Day that was

0:52:05.640 --> 0:52:08.720
<v Speaker 1>a dud. Now we've got the new Prime big Deal Days.

0:52:09.000 --> 0:52:10.799
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about you, but here's what I bought

0:52:10.840 --> 0:52:12.719
<v Speaker 1>on Prime Day last time. I think I bought like

0:52:13.760 --> 0:52:17.080
<v Speaker 1>those phizzy tablets, like those Electrolyte tablets. Like how boring

0:52:17.239 --> 0:52:21.319
<v Speaker 1>is it when you're buying like a Gatorade tablet for

0:52:21.440 --> 0:52:25.439
<v Speaker 1>your Prime Day? But maybe this won will be better.

0:52:25.680 --> 0:52:28.360
<v Speaker 1>This one starts on October tenth, and it seems like

0:52:28.400 --> 0:52:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Amazon has to keep reminding us of reasons why we

0:52:30.960 --> 0:52:33.040
<v Speaker 1>should pay this one hundred and thirty nine dollars a

0:52:33.080 --> 0:52:36.160
<v Speaker 1>year to keep our Prime memberships, which I'm pretty sure

0:52:36.200 --> 0:52:39.520
<v Speaker 1>I use a lot of forty eight hour shopping event.

0:52:39.680 --> 0:52:42.000
<v Speaker 1>This is happening before Black Friday. They're trying to get

0:52:42.000 --> 0:52:44.520
<v Speaker 1>a head start on the holiday shopping season. Again, this

0:52:44.560 --> 0:52:48.080
<v Speaker 1>is for Amazon Prime members only. Deals will start at

0:52:48.080 --> 0:52:51.759
<v Speaker 1>three am Eastern on October tenth. Of course, like they

0:52:51.760 --> 0:52:55.560
<v Speaker 1>always say, there's gonna be millions of discounted items. Deals

0:52:55.560 --> 0:53:01.800
<v Speaker 1>on electronics, toys, home fashions, sixty five Amazon devices, and bundles.

0:53:02.160 --> 0:53:04.560
<v Speaker 1>That's where you really save money Amazon stuff. The one

0:53:04.560 --> 0:53:07.000
<v Speaker 1>thing I thought was very interesting this year. Gift cards

0:53:07.040 --> 0:53:08.480
<v Speaker 1>are going to be up to twenty percent off for

0:53:08.520 --> 0:53:12.680
<v Speaker 1>different brands, and they have this new buy Again feature,

0:53:12.760 --> 0:53:14.520
<v Speaker 1>so they're trying to help you figure out the stuff

0:53:14.560 --> 0:53:16.719
<v Speaker 1>you've purchased in the past, is it going to be

0:53:16.800 --> 0:53:19.200
<v Speaker 1>on sale this time around. So now they're going to

0:53:19.200 --> 0:53:21.600
<v Speaker 1>put that front and center on Prime Day. So all

0:53:21.640 --> 0:53:23.839

<v Speaker 1>Deal Days happening October tenth.

0:53:33.680 --> 0:53:34.399
<v Speaker 2>More rich On Tech.

0:53:34.480 --> 0:53:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Right after this, Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich

0:53:39.960 --> 0:53:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Demiro here on location once again in New York City

0:53:43.239 --> 0:53:46.560
<v Speaker 1>to talk all things Google products. Google had their big

0:53:46.600 --> 0:53:49.720
<v Speaker 1>pixel launch event here and I was in the audience.

0:53:49.760 --> 0:53:51.360
<v Speaker 2>It was very fun. We got to go hands on

0:53:51.400 --> 0:53:52.280
<v Speaker 2>with the new products.

0:53:52.680 --> 0:53:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Joining me now is san Deep Barach, product manager for

0:53:56.200 --> 0:53:57.120
<v Speaker 1>the pixel Watch.

0:53:57.239 --> 0:53:58.839
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for joining me. Thanks Rich.

0:53:59.480 --> 0:54:02.920
<v Speaker 1>So let's talk about pixel Watch too. This is the

0:54:02.960 --> 0:54:05.840
<v Speaker 1>follow up to last year's model. What are some of

0:54:05.880 --> 0:54:08.240
<v Speaker 1>the biggest improvements to the watch this time around?

0:54:09.080 --> 0:54:12.560
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, overall upgraded insight and out. So the big things.

0:54:13.360 --> 0:54:17.080
<v Speaker 11>Starting with the performance itself. It's a quad core processor

0:54:17.760 --> 0:54:21.000
<v Speaker 11>giving you really smooth performance. It's a display that is

0:54:21.080 --> 0:54:24.000
<v Speaker 11>always on. Combined with our core processor, it gives you

0:54:24.120 --> 0:54:27.279
<v Speaker 11>all day battery life with always on display. So that's

0:54:27.320 --> 0:54:29.880
<v Speaker 11>a pretty big improvement both in terms of performance and

0:54:30.000 --> 0:54:33.200
<v Speaker 11>battery life. Moving to the health sensors, we are bringing

0:54:33.239 --> 0:54:36.640
<v Speaker 11>three new health sensors overall, a skin temperature which gives

0:54:36.680 --> 0:54:39.080
<v Speaker 11>you a lot of insights around your night temperature and

0:54:39.080 --> 0:54:44.280
<v Speaker 11>how your body kind of changes the changes in skin temperature, continue,

0:54:44.320 --> 0:54:48.480
<v Speaker 11>stress monitoring, which is a pretty big overall wellness feature,

0:54:48.520 --> 0:54:52.560
<v Speaker 11>and capability which can both detect stressful events during the

0:54:52.600 --> 0:54:56.600
<v Speaker 11>day and give you some interventions suggest some interventions both

0:54:56.680 --> 0:54:59.160
<v Speaker 11>on the watch and on the fitbit app on the phone.

0:55:00.040 --> 0:55:03.920
<v Speaker 11>You're also bringing personal safety features that make the watch

0:55:03.960 --> 0:55:06.799
<v Speaker 11>a really good companion for a peace of mind when

0:55:06.840 --> 0:55:09.760
<v Speaker 11>you're on a trail or walking alone. These are features

0:55:09.760 --> 0:55:13.040
<v Speaker 11>where we are bringing emergency SOS, emergency location sharing with

0:55:13.080 --> 0:55:16.200
<v Speaker 11>your loved ones, but all the also things like safety check,

0:55:16.239 --> 0:55:18.239
<v Speaker 11>which is like a timer for your safety. So let's

0:55:18.239 --> 0:55:20.160
<v Speaker 11>say you go on a run for an hour, you

0:55:20.200 --> 0:55:22.600
<v Speaker 11>can put that timer and then after one hour, if

0:55:22.640 --> 0:55:24.640
<v Speaker 11>you're in a bind and can't respond back to your

0:55:24.680 --> 0:55:27.560
<v Speaker 11>watch that you're all good. It will then send your

0:55:27.600 --> 0:55:31.920
<v Speaker 11>location and the right details to risk first responders and

0:55:32.160 --> 0:55:33.000
<v Speaker 11>do your loved ones.

0:55:33.920 --> 0:55:36.000
<v Speaker 1>So let's start with some of the things that you

0:55:36.040 --> 0:55:39.680
<v Speaker 1>mentioned about the battery life. So you always on display

0:55:39.760 --> 0:55:42.200
<v Speaker 1>means that the display is always on, but you're still

0:55:42.200 --> 0:55:44.560
<v Speaker 1>going to get a full day's worth of use out

0:55:44.560 --> 0:55:45.799
<v Speaker 1>of the watch.

0:55:46.000 --> 0:55:46.520
<v Speaker 2>That is right.

0:55:47.160 --> 0:55:51.520
<v Speaker 11>So that is in a way, what that really brings

0:55:51.640 --> 0:55:55.600
<v Speaker 11>compared to first generation is you don't have to compromise

0:55:55.640 --> 0:55:58.279
<v Speaker 11>on it being a watch. So at a glance, you

0:55:58.360 --> 0:56:01.360
<v Speaker 11>still have this watch which has very expressive watch faces,

0:56:01.400 --> 0:56:05.520
<v Speaker 11>and with always on display, it is your primary watch

0:56:06.080 --> 0:56:08.120
<v Speaker 11>and then when you turn it around, it activates with

0:56:08.440 --> 0:56:10.839
<v Speaker 11>just detecting your tilt of the wrist and then can

0:56:10.840 --> 0:56:13.040
<v Speaker 11>give you a lot more information on the watch face

0:56:13.080 --> 0:56:15.720
<v Speaker 11>itself and you can interact with that. That's a pretty

0:56:15.719 --> 0:56:17.799
<v Speaker 11>big feature because generally it takes away a lot from

0:56:17.840 --> 0:56:21.880
<v Speaker 11>the battery life, but we wanted to have this peace

0:56:21.920 --> 0:56:24.160
<v Speaker 11>of mind that you can go through the day, through

0:56:24.200 --> 0:56:26.680
<v Speaker 11>the night of sleep tracking and still have battery left.

0:56:27.000 --> 0:56:28.759
<v Speaker 2>Ah through this sleep tracking as well.

0:56:28.840 --> 0:56:30.800
<v Speaker 1>So when do you think that people should charge this

0:56:30.880 --> 0:56:32.359
<v Speaker 1>when they wake up in the morning, when they're getting

0:56:32.400 --> 0:56:33.040
<v Speaker 1>ready for work.

0:56:33.320 --> 0:56:35.279
<v Speaker 11>I can tell how I use it and how we

0:56:35.960 --> 0:56:39.520
<v Speaker 11>have found lots of our users use it in our

0:56:39.840 --> 0:56:45.400
<v Speaker 11>trusted testing. There are two primary ways in which charging,

0:56:45.840 --> 0:56:47.600
<v Speaker 11>which is faster by the way, so I forgot to

0:56:47.640 --> 0:56:50.440
<v Speaker 11>mention that it's a faster charging mechanism too. So in

0:56:50.480 --> 0:56:52.800
<v Speaker 11>thirty minutes of charging, you're going to get fifty percent

0:56:52.840 --> 0:56:55.680
<v Speaker 11>of battery, so that equates to about twelve hours. So

0:56:55.800 --> 0:56:58.359
<v Speaker 11>I go through the day and then when I'm having

0:56:58.440 --> 0:57:01.000
<v Speaker 11>dinner with my family, that's when I please check my watch.

0:57:01.040 --> 0:57:02.840
<v Speaker 11>So I have about thirty minutes, I put it on

0:57:02.880 --> 0:57:05.840
<v Speaker 11>the charger, I'm ready for the full night of sleep tracking,

0:57:05.840 --> 0:57:07.879
<v Speaker 11>and then full day as well, and then right around

0:57:07.920 --> 0:57:11.040
<v Speaker 11>the evening I repeat that cycle. Or conversely, you can

0:57:11.320 --> 0:57:13.840
<v Speaker 11>go through the day, sleep track through the night, and

0:57:13.920 --> 0:57:16.720
<v Speaker 11>in the morning, while maybe showering or brushing, you can

0:57:16.760 --> 0:57:18.960
<v Speaker 11>just put it on the charger and very quickly get

0:57:19.000 --> 0:57:19.680
<v Speaker 11>ready for the day.

0:57:19.880 --> 0:57:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, there you go.

0:57:21.280 --> 0:57:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Two good ways to charge if you're trying to get

0:57:23.280 --> 0:57:25.560
<v Speaker 1>your sleep tracking in. And what I like about this

0:57:25.640 --> 0:57:28.760
<v Speaker 1>watch is it's so minimal. It's minimalistic so you can

0:57:28.920 --> 0:57:31.480
<v Speaker 1>wear it comfortably to bed and track your sleep without

0:57:31.520 --> 0:57:33.280
<v Speaker 1>it feeling like it's a big clunky watch.

0:57:33.720 --> 0:57:36.840
<v Speaker 11>That is exactly right, that's really well captured. It doesn't

0:57:36.880 --> 0:57:39.480
<v Speaker 11>snag on the jackets like winter season is coming, will

0:57:39.520 --> 0:57:42.760
<v Speaker 11>be wearing like long sleeves all so it's very low

0:57:42.800 --> 0:57:47.480
<v Speaker 11>profile in that regard our design principle and this was

0:57:47.600 --> 0:57:49.800
<v Speaker 11>for it to be fussed a good watch, and I

0:57:49.800 --> 0:57:51.360
<v Speaker 11>think we have succeeded with that.

0:57:51.960 --> 0:57:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about the improved heart rate sensor. If you

0:57:54.560 --> 0:57:56.760
<v Speaker 1>look on the back of the device, it's a much

0:57:56.840 --> 0:58:00.200
<v Speaker 1>more it's kind of a bigger sensor like there's more

0:58:00.200 --> 0:58:00.880
<v Speaker 1>going on there.

0:58:00.920 --> 0:58:03.240
<v Speaker 2>Maybe not larger, but there's a lot more to it.

0:58:03.320 --> 0:58:04.120
<v Speaker 2>So explain that.

0:58:04.600 --> 0:58:07.560
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, So on the sensor there are the two sensors

0:58:07.560 --> 0:58:10.280
<v Speaker 11>I talked about, the skin temperature and the stress monitoring.

0:58:10.320 --> 0:58:12.840
<v Speaker 11>So that's on the electrodes on the back that you

0:58:12.880 --> 0:58:15.760
<v Speaker 11>see are new compared to the previous generation. You also

0:58:15.800 --> 0:58:20.120
<v Speaker 11>see more number of LEDs and photodiodes. That's for the

0:58:20.120 --> 0:58:23.120
<v Speaker 11>heart rate monitoring. Our architecture now is what we call

0:58:23.240 --> 0:58:26.560
<v Speaker 11>multipath optics architecture. What that means is that we have

0:58:26.640 --> 0:58:29.520
<v Speaker 11>ten times the number of LEDs and photodiodes and essentially

0:58:29.560 --> 0:58:32.440
<v Speaker 11>they're sending a signal into the skin and getting that

0:58:32.520 --> 0:58:37.160
<v Speaker 11>signal back and computing the changes in the physiology to

0:58:37.200 --> 0:58:40.720
<v Speaker 11>then detect heart rate with very high accuracy. And why

0:58:40.760 --> 0:58:44.960
<v Speaker 11>that architecture works in that, as you called out, like

0:58:45.000 --> 0:58:47.240
<v Speaker 11>more things going on in the back, is it has

0:58:47.320 --> 0:58:49.840
<v Speaker 11>more points on the wrist to detect that. It's not

0:58:49.920 --> 0:58:52.960
<v Speaker 11>now relying on a single point of failure because your

0:58:53.000 --> 0:58:56.240
<v Speaker 11>watch moves in a very microway. When you're running or

0:58:56.480 --> 0:58:59.840
<v Speaker 11>doing any hit like exercises, your watch is slightly moving

0:59:00.120 --> 0:59:02.800
<v Speaker 11>and we want to have as asshured a signal across

0:59:02.880 --> 0:59:04.959
<v Speaker 11>multiple points on the risk to get a very clean

0:59:05.000 --> 0:59:06.280
<v Speaker 11>signal and.

0:59:06.280 --> 0:59:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Tell you about is stress tracking because I'm very interested

0:59:09.560 --> 0:59:12.240
<v Speaker 1>in this. I think there's a whole new world of

0:59:12.280 --> 0:59:15.440
<v Speaker 1>people kind of realizing their wellness and their kind of

0:59:15.480 --> 0:59:17.240
<v Speaker 1>mental and also physical wellness.

0:59:17.440 --> 0:59:19.200
<v Speaker 2>So tell you about the stress tracking future.

0:59:19.480 --> 0:59:23.400
<v Speaker 11>Yeah. So the CDA sensor electrodermal sensor at a subcutaneous

0:59:23.400 --> 0:59:27.840
<v Speaker 11>skin level mid detect changes and can then detect if

0:59:27.880 --> 0:59:31.400
<v Speaker 11>there are any events of stress that you're having. It

0:59:31.400 --> 0:59:33.720
<v Speaker 11>could be excitement too, which is great, and then that's

0:59:33.760 --> 0:59:37.920
<v Speaker 11>where the intervention it can suggest is either to go

0:59:38.000 --> 0:59:40.960
<v Speaker 11>to the Relaxed app to just breathe and have a

0:59:40.960 --> 0:59:44.080
<v Speaker 11>couple of minutes of rest time, and or go to

0:59:44.080 --> 0:59:47.720
<v Speaker 11>the fitbit app and log that event. So for me,

0:59:47.840 --> 0:59:51.520
<v Speaker 11>for example, sometimes it's just excitement that is detected as

0:59:51.720 --> 0:59:53.760
<v Speaker 11>which is also a very good thing for me to log,

0:59:53.800 --> 0:59:56.160
<v Speaker 11>which is I'm super excited right now, and it could

0:59:56.200 --> 0:59:59.480
<v Speaker 11>be because we had a really good time as a family,

0:59:59.640 --> 1:00:02.600
<v Speaker 11>or like we just achieved something as a team, or

1:00:02.640 --> 1:00:05.360
<v Speaker 11>conversely it's just a stressful event and it then gives

1:00:05.400 --> 1:00:07.920
<v Speaker 11>me a time series for me to see and then

1:00:07.960 --> 1:00:11.680
<v Speaker 11>correlate today obviously you can see in the future things

1:00:11.920 --> 1:00:14.960
<v Speaker 11>could look very different today. I can manually correlate that

1:00:15.040 --> 1:00:17.800
<v Speaker 11>to my sleep score and my heart rate variability. If

1:00:17.840 --> 1:00:20.600
<v Speaker 11>I'm having too many stressful events, I can then correlate

1:00:20.640 --> 1:00:23.320
<v Speaker 11>maybe my sleep score is going down. So these are

1:00:23.400 --> 1:00:26.400
<v Speaker 11>very helpful insights for me to know about my broader wellness.

1:00:26.840 --> 1:00:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Now there's a cellular version of this watch which is

1:00:30.000 --> 1:00:32.960
<v Speaker 1>sort of independent, and then a version that does not

1:00:33.040 --> 1:00:34.720
<v Speaker 1>have cellulars that right, That is right.

1:00:34.760 --> 1:00:37.920
<v Speaker 11>So we have a Wi Fi which is Wi Fi GPS,

1:00:37.920 --> 1:00:40.120
<v Speaker 11>and then we have Wi Fi GPS and LT which

1:00:40.160 --> 1:00:41.280
<v Speaker 11>is that cellular connected?

1:00:41.440 --> 1:00:43.880
<v Speaker 2>And what do you recommend people choose the cellular version for?

1:00:44.040 --> 1:00:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Like what you know?

1:00:44.560 --> 1:00:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you get a lot of questions, people say, why

1:00:46.320 --> 1:00:48.680
<v Speaker 1>would I get the cellular versus the standard Wi Fi?

1:00:49.480 --> 1:00:51.640
<v Speaker 1>What do you think makes that delineation worth it?

1:00:52.040 --> 1:00:55.000
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, So there are a few times where you feel

1:00:55.040 --> 1:00:58.120
<v Speaker 11>like it's okay to be without your phone, and that's

1:00:58.120 --> 1:01:00.760
<v Speaker 11>where the cellular connected watch comes and to still have

1:01:00.840 --> 1:01:03.320
<v Speaker 11>that peace of mind that you're connected and you can

1:01:03.320 --> 1:01:05.680
<v Speaker 11>connect to the things you care about. So a few

1:01:05.720 --> 1:01:10.720
<v Speaker 11>examples of that. From a personal standpoint, I generally walk

1:01:10.800 --> 1:01:14.760
<v Speaker 11>with my kids in the evening. During weekdays and certainly weekends,

1:01:14.840 --> 1:01:17.280
<v Speaker 11>where I feel that it's a twenty thirty minute walk

1:01:17.280 --> 1:01:19.760
<v Speaker 11>around the neighborhood, I probably don't want to carry my phone,

1:01:19.760 --> 1:01:22.080
<v Speaker 11>and I'm fully in the present with them. But then

1:01:22.160 --> 1:01:24.520
<v Speaker 11>I also know that my wife can reach me anytime

1:01:24.720 --> 1:01:28.200
<v Speaker 11>or any other person because I'm fully connected. Conversely, I

1:01:28.240 --> 1:01:31.320
<v Speaker 11>can connect with them too if needed. Same thing, if

1:01:31.320 --> 1:01:33.600
<v Speaker 11>I'm going on a run, likely I'm not going to

1:01:33.600 --> 1:01:36.480
<v Speaker 11>carry my phone. It's a thing that probably just adds

1:01:36.520 --> 1:01:41.120
<v Speaker 11>to my bulk. And same thing with weekend excursions or hike.

1:01:41.240 --> 1:01:43.680
<v Speaker 11>So there are all these things in our daily lives

1:01:43.680 --> 1:01:45.760
<v Speaker 11>where we feel that we would like to have that

1:01:47.160 --> 1:01:50.880
<v Speaker 11>freedom for a few moments where we are with our

1:01:50.960 --> 1:01:53.560
<v Speaker 11>loved ones or with ourselves, and then still having that

1:01:53.640 --> 1:01:54.960
<v Speaker 11>peace of mind that you're connected.

1:01:55.520 --> 1:01:55.840
<v Speaker 2>All right.

1:01:55.880 --> 1:01:59.880
<v Speaker 1>There you have it Google pixel Watch too forty nine

1:02:00.600 --> 1:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>And when's it available?

1:02:01.880 --> 1:02:04.560
<v Speaker 11>And is available enough of pre order and it'll be

<v Speaker 1>it so much. She is so embarrassed because I'm like, oh,

1:03:05.920 --> 1:03:08.640
<v Speaker 1>they're playing this song. I drop whatever I'm doing and

1:03:08.680 --> 1:03:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I run to the dance floor and I go watch this.

1:03:10.880 --> 1:03:13.160
<v Speaker 1>I will be the highest jumper in this entire room.

1:03:13.520 --> 1:03:16.560
<v Speaker 1>And I am most of the time. People are very surprised,

1:03:17.520 --> 1:03:26.640
<v Speaker 1>and uh yeah, jump around, House of Pain, stupid shuffle?

1:03:27.240 --> 1:03:33.680
<v Speaker 2>What's that? I got it? I know it by audio.

1:03:34.000 --> 1:03:36.360
<v Speaker 1>We gotta play it, Okay, you you find it and

1:03:36.400 --> 1:03:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll and then uh, let's take Kevin in San Diego.

1:03:40.120 --> 1:03:41.959
<v Speaker 1>I feel bad for the people on the podcast because

1:03:41.960 --> 1:03:44.600
<v Speaker 1>they don't hear the music, so they get this part.

1:03:44.640 --> 1:03:47.880
<v Speaker 1>They get one side of the conversation. Here, Kevin, you're

1:03:47.880 --> 1:03:48.200
<v Speaker 1>on with.

1:03:48.240 --> 1:03:52.880
<v Speaker 5>Rich Any white man can't chap you know that?

1:03:53.520 --> 1:04:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, this one can so much to my wife's chagrin, right.

1:04:00.640 --> 1:04:04.960
<v Speaker 5>Uh, it's all of it. Yeah, my ex girlfriend hacked

1:04:05.000 --> 1:04:10.360
<v Speaker 5>my iPhone. Uh, and she's just wreaking havoc every day

1:04:10.440 --> 1:04:13.400
<v Speaker 5>on my life with this. We we're so connected to

1:04:13.440 --> 1:04:17.000
<v Speaker 5>our phone and every way at work and just banking

1:04:17.080 --> 1:04:21.560
<v Speaker 5>and everything. She she probably got my passwords back in

1:04:21.600 --> 1:04:23.400
<v Speaker 5>the day when I used to spend the night at

1:04:23.400 --> 1:04:24.920
<v Speaker 5>her house and I used to keep them in a

1:04:24.960 --> 1:04:28.480
<v Speaker 5>book in my overnight bag, and she just started hacking

1:04:28.520 --> 1:04:31.240
<v Speaker 5>all my accounts and so I've been locking it down

1:04:31.280 --> 1:04:35.880
<v Speaker 5>since we broke up, changed all my passwords. But she

1:04:36.000 --> 1:04:38.520
<v Speaker 5>knows where I'm at, how much money I spend when

1:04:38.520 --> 1:04:39.360
<v Speaker 5>I go shopping.

1:04:40.560 --> 1:04:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Sounds like you're still married.

1:04:43.360 --> 1:04:45.040
<v Speaker 5>I know we were never married.

1:04:45.200 --> 1:04:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so I was gonna say it just sounds like marriage, right, Okay, So.

1:04:53.360 --> 1:04:57.160
<v Speaker 5>I was able to break up with her, but uh, yeah,

1:04:57.280 --> 1:05:00.120
<v Speaker 5>I've been I've been on the phone with Apple for

1:05:00.440 --> 1:05:03.480
<v Speaker 5>two hours at a time, with their tech support, Verizon

1:05:03.760 --> 1:05:06.800
<v Speaker 5>tech support. Nobody seems to be able to help me.

1:05:06.960 --> 1:05:11.120
<v Speaker 5>She's gotten into my phone, I got she hacked my email.

1:05:13.320 --> 1:05:16.760
<v Speaker 5>I've got a private email. She acted that even when

1:05:16.760 --> 1:05:19.560
<v Speaker 5>I was on tech support with my private email company

1:05:20.000 --> 1:05:22.479
<v Speaker 5>and they were mirroring my phone seeing what I was doing,

1:05:22.520 --> 1:05:24.920
<v Speaker 5>and I would block her, go out of that page

1:05:24.920 --> 1:05:27.400
<v Speaker 5>and go back, and she was unblocked, and they're like, oh,

1:05:27.800 --> 1:05:29.080
<v Speaker 5>I've never seen that before.

1:05:29.160 --> 1:05:32.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, thought, great, well, it sounds go ahead.

1:05:32.200 --> 1:05:36.720
<v Speaker 1>It sounds like she has access to your passwords from

1:05:36.720 --> 1:05:39.560
<v Speaker 1>that book and she got them all and now she

1:05:39.800 --> 1:05:42.600
<v Speaker 1>is using them to her advantage. So I think that

1:05:42.680 --> 1:05:45.200
<v Speaker 1>the main thing that you need to do is that

1:05:45.320 --> 1:05:49.600
<v Speaker 1>you have to regain control of your accounts. And so

1:05:49.760 --> 1:05:53.480
<v Speaker 1>what that requires is a lot Number one. You're using

1:05:53.480 --> 1:05:56.600
<v Speaker 1>an iPhone, you said, so you've got to change your

1:05:56.640 --> 1:05:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Apple ID password immediately. That is going to be the

1:05:59.640 --> 1:06:02.400
<v Speaker 1>number one thing. So the other thing I'd recommend before

1:06:02.440 --> 1:06:05.960
<v Speaker 1>you even do that is go into your settings and

1:06:06.160 --> 1:06:10.640
<v Speaker 1>tap your Apple ID and then go on that list

1:06:10.680 --> 1:06:14.160
<v Speaker 1>of devices. And so if you look at the main

1:06:14.240 --> 1:06:16.240
<v Speaker 1>page of your Apple ID, it'll give you a list

1:06:16.280 --> 1:06:19.840
<v Speaker 1>of all of the devices that are on your Apple account,

1:06:20.080 --> 1:06:22.800
<v Speaker 1>and I'm looking at mine. I've got my iPhone, I've

1:06:22.840 --> 1:06:26.040
<v Speaker 1>got my computer, I've got an iPad, I've got another iPhone,

1:06:26.040 --> 1:06:28.000
<v Speaker 1>which actually now that you remind me, I need to

1:06:28.000 --> 1:06:28.480
<v Speaker 1>get rid of.

1:06:28.840 --> 1:06:31.880
<v Speaker 2>I've got an Apple TV, I've got a watch, and.

1:06:31.880 --> 1:06:36.560
<v Speaker 1>So all of these things are they all have access

1:06:36.560 --> 1:06:39.440
<v Speaker 1>to your account. So her phone may be on there

1:06:39.440 --> 1:06:41.880
<v Speaker 1>because at one point she may have logged in and

1:06:41.960 --> 1:06:45.840
<v Speaker 1>gotten access to your Apple ID that way. So that's

1:06:45.920 --> 1:06:48.480
<v Speaker 1>number one. You can tap one of these devices and

1:06:48.520 --> 1:06:51.160
<v Speaker 1>it will say, let me just tap one of these

1:06:51.200 --> 1:06:54.480
<v Speaker 1>and it will say remove from account. And so then

1:06:54.520 --> 1:06:58.120
<v Speaker 1>you can remove that from account now because she has

1:06:58.160 --> 1:07:00.400
<v Speaker 1>access to that. There's also another place to look. It's

1:07:00.440 --> 1:07:03.200
<v Speaker 1>called find my. So if you go in to find my,

1:07:03.880 --> 1:07:06.960
<v Speaker 1>you'll see all the devices on your account and find my.

1:07:07.520 --> 1:07:11.160
<v Speaker 1>If there's one that you don't recognize there, you definitely

1:07:11.200 --> 1:07:14.400
<v Speaker 1>want to remove that item. So she could have put

1:07:14.400 --> 1:07:16.960
<v Speaker 1>an air tag on your account, and that air tag

1:07:17.160 --> 1:07:20.120
<v Speaker 1>is tracking your location, and because it's on your account,

1:07:20.200 --> 1:07:22.520
<v Speaker 1>your phone is not telling you about it, and so

1:07:23.080 --> 1:07:25.600
<v Speaker 1>that's another way that she could potentially see where you're

1:07:25.640 --> 1:07:30.840
<v Speaker 1>at so I think that whatever she has done is

1:07:31.600 --> 1:07:33.920
<v Speaker 1>clean up a ble. You can clean this mess up

1:07:34.040 --> 1:07:37.240
<v Speaker 1>by changing your Apple ID. As soon as you change

1:07:37.240 --> 1:07:40.800
<v Speaker 1>your Apple ID, you want to enable two factor authentication

1:07:40.960 --> 1:07:44.320
<v Speaker 1>on your Apple account if you don't have that already enabled,

1:07:45.040 --> 1:07:47.960
<v Speaker 1>and that is going to make sure that if she

1:07:48.320 --> 1:07:51.320
<v Speaker 1>had even if she figured out your new password, which

1:07:51.320 --> 1:07:53.240
<v Speaker 1>by the way, it should be a strong password, she

1:07:53.280 --> 1:07:54.840
<v Speaker 1>will not be able to use that to log in

1:07:54.880 --> 1:07:57.480
<v Speaker 1>because she's not going to get that secondary code. And

1:07:57.680 --> 1:07:59.680
<v Speaker 1>even if her device was set up as a trusted

1:07:59.680 --> 1:08:04.400
<v Speaker 1>device on her account, which is your account, because you

1:08:04.520 --> 1:08:08.800
<v Speaker 1>got rid of any devices that are not recognizable, her

1:08:08.840 --> 1:08:13.080
<v Speaker 1>device would no longer get that secondary security code. Now,

1:08:13.120 --> 1:08:15.800
<v Speaker 1>once you do that, I would actually take a third

1:08:15.840 --> 1:08:20.040
<v Speaker 1>step and I would go through and format your phone

1:08:20.240 --> 1:08:25.679
<v Speaker 1>and restart everything, relog in from fresh from the basics.

1:08:25.760 --> 1:08:28.519
<v Speaker 1>So go through and just download all the apps you

1:08:28.560 --> 1:08:31.400
<v Speaker 1>have and relog into those. Now, when it comes to

1:08:31.439 --> 1:08:34.200
<v Speaker 1>things like your email, what you want to do is

1:08:34.200 --> 1:08:37.200
<v Speaker 1>you want to log out of other locations. So pretty

1:08:37.240 --> 1:08:41.040
<v Speaker 1>much every app nowadays has some sort of setting in

1:08:41.160 --> 1:08:44.000
<v Speaker 1>the account settings that lets you log out of all

1:08:44.160 --> 1:08:46.800
<v Speaker 1>active sessions. And what that means is and I was

1:08:46.840 --> 1:08:49.639
<v Speaker 1>looking at this on my phone today. When you log

1:08:49.720 --> 1:08:53.280
<v Speaker 1>into things, they stay for a long time until you

1:08:53.360 --> 1:08:55.320
<v Speaker 1>log out. So she may have an old phone or

1:08:55.360 --> 1:08:57.960
<v Speaker 1>an old computer, or an old web browser that's still

1:08:58.000 --> 1:09:01.200
<v Speaker 1>logged into your Facebook, or that's still logged into your Gmail,

1:09:01.640 --> 1:09:03.840
<v Speaker 1>and so she can still access that, and unless you

1:09:04.200 --> 1:09:06.519
<v Speaker 1>get rid of those, she's still going to be able

1:09:06.560 --> 1:09:07.320
<v Speaker 1>to access those.

1:09:07.760 --> 1:09:09.000
<v Speaker 2>If that's what's happening here.

1:09:09.880 --> 1:09:11.680
<v Speaker 1>Now, if you look on the bottom of Gmail, it

1:09:11.720 --> 1:09:15.040
<v Speaker 1>should say where you're logged in. And if you want

1:09:15.080 --> 1:09:18.800
<v Speaker 1>to log out of other accounts, just Google, you know,

1:09:19.479 --> 1:09:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Google log out of all active devices or Spotify log

1:09:23.400 --> 1:09:27.040
<v Speaker 1>out of all active devices. All these accounts typically have

1:09:27.120 --> 1:09:29.599
<v Speaker 1>a way to log out of all the different places

1:09:29.600 --> 1:09:33.280
<v Speaker 1>that you've logged in. Instagram has it, Facebook has it.

1:09:33.479 --> 1:09:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Now you're going to have to re log in, so

1:09:34.840 --> 1:09:37.240
<v Speaker 1>you better know your new password or maybe change the

1:09:37.280 --> 1:09:41.200
<v Speaker 1>password before you do this. But Kevin, these are all

1:09:41.320 --> 1:09:45.200
<v Speaker 1>things that I know that you're getting the messages from,

1:09:45.960 --> 1:09:50.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, your cellular company and Apple. But these are

1:09:50.320 --> 1:09:52.360
<v Speaker 1>the steps you have to take, and once you take

1:09:52.400 --> 1:09:57.439
<v Speaker 1>these steps, you will be cleaned from her existence on

1:09:57.520 --> 1:10:00.280
<v Speaker 1>your devices. There's no reason why someone should be able

1:10:00.280 --> 1:10:02.800
<v Speaker 1>to continue to have access once you do these things. Now,

1:10:02.960 --> 1:10:05.240
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to your cell phone carrier, if she

1:10:05.280 --> 1:10:08.160
<v Speaker 1>has access to that on the backside, you're log in

1:10:08.160 --> 1:10:12.000
<v Speaker 1>and password for that. Go into where whether it's Verizon,

1:10:12.080 --> 1:10:15.120
<v Speaker 1>whether it's AT and T T Mobile, go in, change

1:10:15.120 --> 1:10:17.320
<v Speaker 1>your password there, and also set up a PIN on

1:10:17.360 --> 1:10:19.760
<v Speaker 1>your account. So if you set up a PIN on

1:10:19.800 --> 1:10:21.880
<v Speaker 1>your account, she's not gonna be able to log in

1:10:22.760 --> 1:10:26.080
<v Speaker 1>unless she has that pin or change anything because of that.

1:10:26.120 --> 1:10:28.479
<v Speaker 1>And also set up two factor there too. So those

1:10:28.520 --> 1:10:31.160
<v Speaker 1>are the steps to take. I think that this is

1:10:31.720 --> 1:10:33.880
<v Speaker 1>easily fixable. It just takes a little bit of work.

1:10:33.880 --> 1:10:35.840
<v Speaker 1>You've got to change those passwords. You've got to log

1:10:35.880 --> 1:10:39.800
<v Speaker 1>out of the active sessions anywhere else and make sure

1:10:39.840 --> 1:10:42.599
<v Speaker 1>that no other devices accept the one that you want

1:10:42.960 --> 1:10:45.759
<v Speaker 1>is logged into your account. So thanks Kevin for the question,

1:10:45.880 --> 1:10:48.360
<v Speaker 1>appreciate it. Sorry for the breakup, but it sounds like

1:10:49.280 --> 1:10:52.559
<v Speaker 1>if she's really doing this stuff, you're avoiding a big

1:10:52.680 --> 1:10:59.840
<v Speaker 1>nightmare there by not getting married. Chrome book. Let me

1:10:59.880 --> 1:11:02.719
<v Speaker 1>just quickly talk about chromebooks. You know, chromebooks are known

1:11:02.840 --> 1:11:07.880
<v Speaker 1>for being really simple, easy, they run software, they don't

1:11:07.920 --> 1:11:11.479
<v Speaker 1>really have viruses, but they've been underpowered, and Google knows

1:11:11.479 --> 1:11:13.160
<v Speaker 1>that a lot of you know, schools use them and

1:11:13.200 --> 1:11:15.040
<v Speaker 1>things like that. People get these chromebooks, they spend a

1:11:15.080 --> 1:11:16.479
<v Speaker 1>couple hundred bucks on them, and they get them, and

1:11:16.479 --> 1:11:19.040
<v Speaker 1>they're kind of slow and like sluggish. And so now

1:11:19.080 --> 1:11:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Google has this new spec called Chromebook Plus. And so

1:11:23.000 --> 1:11:27.000
<v Speaker 1>this is a signifier that tells you this chromebook is

1:11:27.040 --> 1:11:30.439
<v Speaker 1>actually pretty decent. And so what does a Chromebook Plus have.

1:11:30.960 --> 1:11:32.800
<v Speaker 1>It's got a starting price of three hundred and ninety

1:11:32.840 --> 1:11:35.759
<v Speaker 1>nine dollars, it's got double the performance, memory, and storage

1:11:35.760 --> 1:11:40.200
<v Speaker 1>compared to regular chromebooks, guaranteed hardware specs including Intel Core

1:11:40.280 --> 1:11:44.040
<v Speaker 1>I three, AMD rise In three, eight gigabytes of RAM

1:11:44.080 --> 1:11:46.559
<v Speaker 1>and one hundred and twenty eight gigabytes of storage, a

1:11:46.640 --> 1:11:51.360
<v Speaker 1>ten ADP webcam. And because it's got these specs, it

1:11:51.439 --> 1:11:54.160
<v Speaker 1>can have new AI features that Google says they will

1:11:54.160 --> 1:11:58.520
<v Speaker 1>build into these things. These are available starting October eighth,

1:11:58.920 --> 1:12:01.720
<v Speaker 1>and some existing chromebooks, if they have these specs, we'll

1:12:01.720 --> 1:12:03.920
<v Speaker 1>get that Chromebook Plus software update.

1:12:04.320 --> 1:12:06.280
<v Speaker 2>So it just means that it's going to be a

1:12:06.439 --> 1:12:07.599
<v Speaker 2>higher end system.

1:12:07.640 --> 1:12:10.000
<v Speaker 1>So if you want the best chromebook you can get,

1:12:10.640 --> 1:12:13.240
<v Speaker 1>look for a Chromebook Plus in the future.

1:12:13.560 --> 1:12:15.920
<v Speaker 2>I think this was a smart move by Google. Triple

1:12:15.960 --> 1:12:16.479

1:12:24.280 --> 1:12:24.679
<v Speaker 2>all right?

1:12:24.720 --> 1:12:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Now we have a new song I can shuffle to

1:12:27.320 --> 1:12:28.080
<v Speaker 1>at the next wedding.

1:12:28.120 --> 1:12:28.599
<v Speaker 2>I go to.

1:12:30.600 --> 1:12:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging

1:12:34.040 --> 1:12:37.200
<v Speaker 1>out with you talking technology at Triple eight rich one

1:12:37.240 --> 1:12:37.599
<v Speaker 1>oh one.

1:12:39.160 --> 1:12:40.639
<v Speaker 2>You got plenty more in the show.

1:12:41.520 --> 1:12:45.519
<v Speaker 1>Sam Rubin KTLA entertainment anchor is going to join me

1:12:45.600 --> 1:12:48.840
<v Speaker 1>to discuss his experience seeing you two at the Las

1:12:48.960 --> 1:12:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Vegas Sphere and then ate, By the way, I don't

1:12:51.920 --> 1:12:54.680
<v Speaker 1>like that word sphere. Isn't it really really tough to

1:12:54.760 --> 1:12:58.360
<v Speaker 1>say sphere? Like it's just one of those words that

1:12:58.479 --> 1:13:01.960
<v Speaker 1>I'd rather not say. Globe, Yeah, so much easier globe.

1:13:01.960 --> 1:13:04.800
<v Speaker 1>It just rolls off the tongue. Sphere is like you

1:13:04.840 --> 1:13:06.519
<v Speaker 1>have to actually sit there and think about how to

1:13:06.560 --> 1:13:10.880
<v Speaker 1>say it. David Huerta is the senior digital security trainer

1:13:10.920 --> 1:13:13.360
<v Speaker 1>at Freedom of the Press Foundation. He is going to

1:13:13.439 --> 1:13:15.840
<v Speaker 1>join us for a very important conversation later this hour

1:13:16.280 --> 1:13:19.960
<v Speaker 1>about how to pick the best VPN and some of

1:13:19.960 --> 1:13:24.040
<v Speaker 1>the stories I'll still talk about ring they're giving away

1:13:24.080 --> 1:13:27.679
<v Speaker 1>a million bucks if you catch an alien on your

1:13:28.080 --> 1:13:33.960
<v Speaker 1>ring camera. And Samsung actually has some new products. These

1:13:34.000 --> 1:13:36.599
<v Speaker 1>are the Fan Addition products, and I'll tell you about

1:13:36.600 --> 1:13:40.640
<v Speaker 1>them because they're actually really good and they're inexpensive. But

1:13:40.720 --> 1:13:43.360
<v Speaker 1>first let's go to Jim and Costa Mesa. Jim, you're

1:13:43.360 --> 1:13:43.880
<v Speaker 1>on with Rich?

1:13:44.640 --> 1:13:48.559
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, how you doing? I have a question. I I'm

1:13:48.600 --> 1:13:50.960
<v Speaker 8>seventy four years old, but for my age, I think

1:13:51.000 --> 1:13:54.280
<v Speaker 8>I'm pretty good with technology. And early on I had

1:13:54.320 --> 1:13:57.320
<v Speaker 8>an iPhone and was into the Mac, you know, the

1:13:57.360 --> 1:14:03.479
<v Speaker 8>Apple vironment, but business kind of had me transfer to

1:14:03.560 --> 1:14:08.160
<v Speaker 8>PC because that's just what most of the companies used. Well,

1:14:08.200 --> 1:14:13.120
<v Speaker 8>when smartphones came out, I went to androids. So to me,

1:14:13.240 --> 1:14:16.800
<v Speaker 8>the Androids it's just a better open system. What I

1:14:16.920 --> 1:14:21.000
<v Speaker 8>love to do is put my documents, photos and music

1:14:21.000 --> 1:14:24.439
<v Speaker 8>all on an SD card. And so when I get

1:14:24.479 --> 1:14:28.719
<v Speaker 8>a new phone, I simply log into my Gmail account

1:14:28.800 --> 1:14:33.400
<v Speaker 8>and my Microsoft account, put the SIM card in and

1:14:34.240 --> 1:14:36.320
<v Speaker 8>SD card. I'm ready to go. I never have to

1:14:36.320 --> 1:14:39.639
<v Speaker 8>go to a genius bar or you spend a lot

1:14:39.680 --> 1:14:41.880
<v Speaker 8>of time anywhere. I do it all at home. So

1:14:42.000 --> 1:14:46.160
<v Speaker 8>my question is what am I missing by not having

1:14:46.200 --> 1:14:49.800
<v Speaker 8>an iPhone? Because I'm very happy with the Android system.

1:14:50.080 --> 1:14:52.400
<v Speaker 8>I know I save a lot of money by staying

1:14:52.400 --> 1:14:56.160
<v Speaker 8>on Android, but what do I really miss? I don't FaceTime.

1:14:56.280 --> 1:14:59.600
<v Speaker 8>I just wonder the features that would.

1:15:00.200 --> 1:15:02.679
<v Speaker 2>Me to want to move good question.

1:15:02.880 --> 1:15:04.479
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a question that a lot of people

1:15:04.560 --> 1:15:09.240
<v Speaker 1>wonder that are Android users because you hear about the

1:15:09.280 --> 1:15:11.479
<v Speaker 1>iPhone so much, and I kind of talked about this

1:15:11.520 --> 1:15:14.080
<v Speaker 1>a little bit earlier, but there's this like there's this

1:15:14.200 --> 1:15:18.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of it's almost like a social construct in America,

1:15:18.160 --> 1:15:19.679
<v Speaker 1>at least not so much for the rest of the world,

1:15:19.760 --> 1:15:22.960
<v Speaker 1>but in America, the iPhone is kind of like the

1:15:23.080 --> 1:15:26.880
<v Speaker 1>top device. And so not just the iPhone, but also

1:15:27.080 --> 1:15:31.240
<v Speaker 1>I message and FaceTime to a lesser extent, I don't

1:15:31.240 --> 1:15:33.400
<v Speaker 1>really I think I've done like three FaceTime calls in

1:15:33.400 --> 1:15:34.040
<v Speaker 1>my entire life.

1:15:34.080 --> 1:15:35.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't really use FaceTime.

1:15:35.439 --> 1:15:38.280
<v Speaker 1>And again I'm prefacing all of this with the fact

1:15:38.280 --> 1:15:44.439
<v Speaker 1>that I like third party platforms that work across both sides.

1:15:44.520 --> 1:15:47.360
<v Speaker 1>So when I choose a product, I choose something that

1:15:47.400 --> 1:15:50.639
<v Speaker 1>works on both iPhone and Android, because A I'm switching

1:15:50.680 --> 1:15:53.599
<v Speaker 1>between both all the time, and B I just don't

1:15:53.640 --> 1:15:56.920
<v Speaker 1>want one company to have that much control in my life.

1:15:57.240 --> 1:16:00.439
<v Speaker 1>And when you go iPhone, You're pretty much like seating

1:16:00.560 --> 1:16:02.599
<v Speaker 1>a lot of control to Apple. And I think that's

1:16:02.640 --> 1:16:06.880
<v Speaker 1>what it really comes down to. When you meet certain

1:16:06.920 --> 1:16:10.080
<v Speaker 1>people like that are a little bit more techy. A

1:16:10.120 --> 1:16:13.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of times they like Android because they have full control, Jim,

1:16:13.360 --> 1:16:16.240
<v Speaker 1>Like you said, they like to control their own destiny.

1:16:16.280 --> 1:16:18.519
<v Speaker 1>They like to do things the way they want. I mean,

1:16:18.600 --> 1:16:20.839
<v Speaker 1>just look at the way you have to arrange icons

1:16:21.360 --> 1:16:25.280
<v Speaker 1>on the home screen on the iPhone versus Android. Android

1:16:25.400 --> 1:16:28.720
<v Speaker 1>you can place an icon wherever you want. iPhone you

1:16:28.760 --> 1:16:31.000
<v Speaker 1>cannot do that. And that may surprise some of you

1:16:31.080 --> 1:16:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Android folks. You're like, wait, what, Yes, you have to

1:16:34.160 --> 1:16:36.559
<v Speaker 1>place the icon where Apple wants you to do it.

1:16:37.320 --> 1:16:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Now on the flip side, So what does iPhone offer?

1:16:40.560 --> 1:16:43.640
<v Speaker 1>I think iPhone offers that I message world, where you know,

1:16:43.680 --> 1:16:45.920
<v Speaker 1>you can text easily and it's simple and you can

1:16:45.960 --> 1:16:48.920
<v Speaker 1>send big videos. And that's just something that Apple has

1:16:48.960 --> 1:16:53.000
<v Speaker 1>constructed as a it's almost fake. It's like Apple made

1:16:53.000 --> 1:16:57.160
<v Speaker 1>that barrier itself. So everyone else in the world uses

1:16:57.160 --> 1:17:00.519
<v Speaker 1>something like WhatsApp or you know, a different messaging program,

1:17:00.640 --> 1:17:06.160
<v Speaker 1>or even SMS, which is rcs now. Apple also has,

1:17:06.200 --> 1:17:08.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, they have new stuff every year. They've got

1:17:08.479 --> 1:17:11.400
<v Speaker 1>an ecosystem that just works, so it's very simple. Their

1:17:11.479 --> 1:17:14.559
<v Speaker 1>software updates work on the same day for every device,

1:17:14.920 --> 1:17:16.479
<v Speaker 1>so you don't have to weigh or you don't have

1:17:16.520 --> 1:17:18.479
<v Speaker 1>to say, oh, i'm running this phone, i haven't gotten

1:17:18.479 --> 1:17:21.080
<v Speaker 1>my software update yet because I'm on Samsung, I'm on OnePlus,

1:17:21.080 --> 1:17:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm on Google, I'm on Motorola. All those manufacturers do

1:17:25.040 --> 1:17:27.439
<v Speaker 1>software updates at different times. So some people just like

1:17:27.520 --> 1:17:30.800
<v Speaker 1>the fact that Apple just works the same for everyone

1:17:31.000 --> 1:17:34.920
<v Speaker 1>all the time. Now, what's the advantage of Android? Well,

1:17:35.000 --> 1:17:38.400
<v Speaker 1>number one, you control your own destiny with Android. It

1:17:38.439 --> 1:17:40.640
<v Speaker 1>works the way you want it to work. There's a

1:17:40.680 --> 1:17:43.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of little things on iPhone that don't work the

1:17:43.920 --> 1:17:46.360
<v Speaker 1>way they work on Android. Because Android is a little

1:17:46.400 --> 1:17:49.120
<v Speaker 1>bit more open, it's a little bit more user friendly

1:17:49.720 --> 1:17:52.679
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to customizing how you want things to work.

1:17:52.960 --> 1:17:55.080
<v Speaker 1>You want a different keyboard for a long time, you

1:17:55.120 --> 1:17:57.120
<v Speaker 1>couldn't do that on iPhone. And by the way, if

1:17:57.120 --> 1:17:59.040
<v Speaker 1>you do that on iPhone, it still doesn't work as

1:17:59.080 --> 1:18:01.760
<v Speaker 1>well as it doesn't Android. You know, when it comes

1:18:01.800 --> 1:18:04.200
<v Speaker 1>to voice assistance, you can choose which one you want

1:18:04.479 --> 1:18:07.599
<v Speaker 1>to work on your Android phone, and on iPhone you've

1:18:07.600 --> 1:18:10.320
<v Speaker 1>got Siri and so now all of these things are

1:18:10.320 --> 1:18:11.879
<v Speaker 1>getting a little bit better on iPhone.

1:18:11.920 --> 1:18:12.639
<v Speaker 2>Over the years.

1:18:13.200 --> 1:18:15.000
<v Speaker 1>You used to not be able to set your own

1:18:15.040 --> 1:18:18.639
<v Speaker 1>mail application or your own default browser. Apple has made

1:18:18.680 --> 1:18:21.879
<v Speaker 1>it easier to do that, although I argue that sometimes

1:18:21.880 --> 1:18:24.880
<v Speaker 1>those don't work as well as the built in native

1:18:24.920 --> 1:18:29.720
<v Speaker 1>applications like Safari or by the way, tried navigating with

1:18:29.800 --> 1:18:34.360
<v Speaker 1>anything using except Apple Maps on the iPhone doesn't work

1:18:35.240 --> 1:18:37.840
<v Speaker 1>if you're clicking any sort of link, and I don't

1:18:37.840 --> 1:18:40.200
<v Speaker 1>want to This is getting a little bit too in depth,

1:18:40.280 --> 1:18:45.559
<v Speaker 1>but you know, developers have found ways around Apple's weird rules,

1:18:46.000 --> 1:18:49.400
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of Apple's weird rules come down to security,

1:18:50.600 --> 1:18:54.240
<v Speaker 1>and they they've engineered this phone so everything sort of

1:18:54.320 --> 1:18:56.920
<v Speaker 1>runs in its own sandbox. So when you run an

1:18:56.920 --> 1:18:59.720
<v Speaker 1>app on the iPhone, it's not really interacting with other

1:18:59.760 --> 1:19:02.479
<v Speaker 1>apps like it is on the Android side. And so

1:19:02.560 --> 1:19:05.599
<v Speaker 1>what does that do that protects the user from things

1:19:05.640 --> 1:19:09.840
<v Speaker 1>like spam or sorry, viruses Like there's really not a

1:19:09.920 --> 1:19:12.479
<v Speaker 1>virus for the iPhone because it wouldn't really work. And

1:19:12.560 --> 1:19:14.880
<v Speaker 1>all those systems that say they've got anti virus for

1:19:14.960 --> 1:19:17.880
<v Speaker 1>the iPhone, those are all bogus because they can't even scan.

1:19:17.960 --> 1:19:20.760
<v Speaker 1>They can't even get access to the iPhone system to

1:19:20.760 --> 1:19:23.280
<v Speaker 1>be able to scan for viruses. And so if you're

1:19:23.280 --> 1:19:25.960
<v Speaker 1>getting those kind of programs on your iPhone, you don't

1:19:26.000 --> 1:19:29.360
<v Speaker 1>need them. So my point is, I think it really

1:19:29.360 --> 1:19:32.120
<v Speaker 1>comes down to what you want. Jim, I don't think

1:19:32.120 --> 1:19:35.479
<v Speaker 1>you're losing anything on Android versus iOS. It sounds like

1:19:35.520 --> 1:19:37.760
<v Speaker 1>you're very happy with what you've got. It sounds like

1:19:37.840 --> 1:19:40.120
<v Speaker 1>you like the system that you have set up. And

1:19:40.160 --> 1:19:42.120
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to things like the Genius Bar and

1:19:42.160 --> 1:19:45.320
<v Speaker 1>the iPhone, the Apple stores and all the costs associated

1:19:45.360 --> 1:19:50.000
<v Speaker 1>with being an Apple fan, some people like that because,

1:19:50.240 --> 1:19:52.120
<v Speaker 1>for instance, when I was in Japan and I had

1:19:52.120 --> 1:19:55.080
<v Speaker 1>a problem with my laptop, I made an appointment at

1:19:55.080 --> 1:19:57.320
<v Speaker 1>the Genius Bar and I brought it in without even

1:19:57.320 --> 1:19:59.960
<v Speaker 1>thinking if the genius spoke English or Japanese.

1:20:00.400 --> 1:20:01.080
<v Speaker 2>It just worked.

1:20:01.439 --> 1:20:05.400
<v Speaker 1>The person spoke English. And so again Apple has built

1:20:05.439 --> 1:20:13.200
<v Speaker 1>something that's really interesting, that's really the customer friendly and simple,

1:20:13.720 --> 1:20:16.720
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of people like that, and that's just

1:20:16.880 --> 1:20:19.840
<v Speaker 1>absolutely fine. I'm not faulting them for that, but I

1:20:19.880 --> 1:20:22.720
<v Speaker 1>am going to point out the differences between what you

1:20:22.760 --> 1:20:25.200
<v Speaker 1>get on iPhone and what you get on Android, and

1:20:25.320 --> 1:20:27.840
<v Speaker 1>everyone has a different thing that they like a different

1:20:27.880 --> 1:20:31.839
<v Speaker 1>way to run their life, and that's fine. Now on Android,

1:20:32.720 --> 1:20:34.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, there are things that you can do that

1:20:34.240 --> 1:20:36.639
<v Speaker 1>you can't do on iPhone. On iPhone, there are apps

1:20:36.680 --> 1:20:39.040
<v Speaker 1>that you know, a lot of developers develop first for

1:20:39.120 --> 1:20:42.280
<v Speaker 1>iPhone and then maybe they'll develop for Android later on.

1:20:43.160 --> 1:20:45.160
<v Speaker 1>And again, people like to be able to bring in

1:20:45.200 --> 1:20:47.240
<v Speaker 1>their phone to the Apple Store if they have a problem,

1:20:47.600 --> 1:20:49.080
<v Speaker 1>or they like to ask a friend if they have

1:20:49.120 --> 1:20:51.880
<v Speaker 1>an issue. If you have this really unique Android phone

1:20:51.880 --> 1:20:53.760
<v Speaker 1>that you love. Let's say you have the Nothing phone too.

1:20:54.040 --> 1:20:56.559
<v Speaker 1>It's a cool phone, it's a great phone. But who

1:20:56.600 --> 1:20:57.800
<v Speaker 1>are you going to ask if you have a problem

1:20:57.840 --> 1:20:59.680
<v Speaker 1>with that phone, because your friends probably don't have it.

1:21:00.080 --> 1:21:01.439
<v Speaker 1>As with iPhone, you're gonna say, hey, do you know

1:21:01.439 --> 1:21:03.040
<v Speaker 1>how to do this on the iPhone? They say, oh yeah, sure,

1:21:03.040 --> 1:21:05.320
<v Speaker 1>here're going to this setting. So Jim, those are just

1:21:05.360 --> 1:21:06.920
<v Speaker 1>a few of the reasons. But at the end of

1:21:06.960 --> 1:21:09.640
<v Speaker 1>the day, I think that it's great that we have competition.

1:21:10.760 --> 1:21:13.800
<v Speaker 1>I think it's great to have choice, and I think

1:21:13.840 --> 1:21:17.160
<v Speaker 1>it's great if you like iPhone, fine, if you like Android,

1:21:17.400 --> 1:21:20.680
<v Speaker 1>that's absolutely fine. I don't think you're missing out in

1:21:20.720 --> 1:21:23.320
<v Speaker 1>either way. Apple's marketing is just a little bit stronger.

1:21:23.600 --> 1:21:25.599
<v Speaker 1>So it feels like there's a little bit more going

1:21:25.640 --> 1:21:27.960
<v Speaker 1>on with the iPhone, which you know in some cases

1:21:28.000 --> 1:21:31.840
<v Speaker 1>there is. Thanks for the question. Speaking of Android, Samsung

1:21:31.920 --> 1:21:35.799
<v Speaker 1>introduced three new products this week. We call this introduction

1:21:35.920 --> 1:21:39.120
<v Speaker 1>via press release. They didn't have a big event or anything,

1:21:39.120 --> 1:21:41.120
<v Speaker 1>but they did put out three new products. One is

1:21:41.160 --> 1:21:44.439
<v Speaker 1>the Galaxy S twenty three FE. This starts at six

1:21:44.560 --> 1:21:48.760
<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars and this is basically a FE means Fan Edition.

1:21:49.080 --> 1:21:53.040
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of a less expensive version of their flagship device,

1:21:53.240 --> 1:21:55.800
<v Speaker 1>and it's probably really good. I haven't gotten the phone

1:21:55.800 --> 1:21:58.840
<v Speaker 1>in yet, but I have gotten the tablet and the earbuds,

1:21:59.240 --> 1:22:00.320
<v Speaker 1>and so far it took a run.

1:22:00.320 --> 1:22:01.759
<v Speaker 2>With the earbuds, they are excellent.

1:22:02.840 --> 1:22:06.840
<v Speaker 1>The Galaxy S twenty three FE has three cameras, it's

1:22:06.880 --> 1:22:09.160
<v Speaker 1>got all the features that you need, it's got a

1:22:09.160 --> 1:22:11.479
<v Speaker 1>bunch of fun colors, and it's just a little bit cheaper,

1:22:11.520 --> 1:22:13.920
<v Speaker 1>so it doesn't have like the best specs like the

1:22:14.240 --> 1:22:17.280
<v Speaker 1>Samsung Galaxy S twenty three Ultra, but it has really

1:22:17.280 --> 1:22:20.479
<v Speaker 1>good specs and it's like a really good device if

1:22:20.520 --> 1:22:22.920
<v Speaker 1>you want to spend half the price and still get

1:22:22.920 --> 1:22:26.280
<v Speaker 1>something that's really good compared to the S twenty three Ultra.

1:22:27.200 --> 1:22:30.559
<v Speaker 1>Then they've got the Galaxy tab S nine FE and

1:22:30.640 --> 1:22:32.600
<v Speaker 1>this is a tablet that starts at four hundred and

1:22:32.640 --> 1:22:35.600
<v Speaker 1>fifty dollars. It's got up to twenty hours of video playback.

1:22:35.920 --> 1:22:38.200
<v Speaker 1>It's available in a bunch of different colors as well.

1:22:38.640 --> 1:22:40.840
<v Speaker 1>I personally think that the iPhone is the way to

1:22:40.880 --> 1:22:43.200
<v Speaker 1>go when it comes to a tablet or sorry, the iPad,

1:22:43.560 --> 1:22:46.439
<v Speaker 1>But I will test this out, put it through its paces.

1:22:46.439 --> 1:22:48.880
<v Speaker 1>But I just think that the tablet apps on the

1:22:48.920 --> 1:22:52.679
<v Speaker 1>iPad are the best in class and Android really needs

1:22:52.680 --> 1:22:54.240
<v Speaker 1>to step things up when it comes to that, and

1:22:54.240 --> 1:22:57.120
<v Speaker 1>then maybe I'll recommend Android tablets. When it comes to

1:22:57.200 --> 1:22:59.599
<v Speaker 1>these Galaxy buds, FI put them in my ears today,

1:22:59.680 --> 1:23:00.519
<v Speaker 1>took with them.

1:23:00.600 --> 1:23:01.360
<v Speaker 2>They are excellent.

1:23:01.920 --> 1:23:06.040
<v Speaker 1>So ninety nine bucks gives you thirty hours of audio playback.

1:23:06.479 --> 1:23:09.920
<v Speaker 1>They've got three microphones, they've got active noise cancelation. They've

1:23:09.920 --> 1:23:12.320
<v Speaker 1>got ambient sound, which lets you hear what's going on

1:23:12.400 --> 1:23:15.519
<v Speaker 1>around you. They don't feel like you're underwater with a

1:23:15.520 --> 1:23:17.920
<v Speaker 1>lot of the cheap noise canceling headphones. They feel like

1:23:17.960 --> 1:23:21.360
<v Speaker 1>you're underwater and your nose is clogged up. These sound perfect.

1:23:21.479 --> 1:23:23.800
<v Speaker 1>They fit in my ears great, they did not fall out.

1:23:24.080 --> 1:23:26.760
<v Speaker 1>They're wireless earbuds. They start at ninety nine bucks. I

1:23:26.800 --> 1:23:31.240
<v Speaker 1>think if you have Samsung specific phone, these are a

1:23:31.360 --> 1:23:35.880
<v Speaker 1>great companion. The Galaxy Buds FE again, will be available

1:23:37.040 --> 1:23:41.280
<v Speaker 1>online on October fifth, so that's already passed. So is

1:23:41.320 --> 1:23:44.920
<v Speaker 1>the tablet and the Galaxy S twenty three FE. The

1:23:45.040 --> 1:23:48.719
<v Speaker 1>phone is going to be available on October twenty six.

1:23:48.880 --> 1:23:53.360
<v Speaker 1>So again look into this Galaxy Fan Edition products. They

1:23:53.520 --> 1:23:55.240
<v Speaker 1>skipped a couple of years. They had them a couple

1:23:55.200 --> 1:23:57.160
<v Speaker 1>of years ago, they skipped and now they're back. And

1:23:57.200 --> 1:23:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I think that they're back because people are spending a

1:23:59.760 --> 1:24:01.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of money and they're kind of sick of it,

1:24:01.920 --> 1:24:04.400
<v Speaker 1>and so Samsung realizes, hey, you know what, people want

1:24:04.400 --> 1:24:07.599
<v Speaker 1>an alternative to these ultra premium devices, but they still

1:24:07.640 --> 1:24:10.240
<v Speaker 1>want something that has a lot of these top tier

1:24:10.320 --> 1:24:12.280
<v Speaker 1>features in a lower price point.

1:24:12.800 --> 1:24:13.920
<v Speaker 2>You're listening to rich on Tech.

1:24:13.920 --> 1:24:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Coming up next, we'll talk to Sam Rubin about the

1:24:16.880 --> 1:24:23.040
<v Speaker 1>sphere in Las Vegas. Welcome back to rich on Tech.

1:24:23.760 --> 1:24:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Talk in technology with you.

1:24:27.120 --> 1:24:27.759
<v Speaker 2>Coming up.

1:24:29.200 --> 1:24:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Towards the end of the show, we're going to talk

1:24:30.880 --> 1:24:34.120
<v Speaker 1>to David Huerta, who is going to talk about VPNs

1:24:34.160 --> 1:24:36.960
<v Speaker 1>and when you need one. Now, one of the things

1:24:37.000 --> 1:24:40.200
<v Speaker 1>that's going on in Las Vegas. Las Vegas always looking

1:24:40.200 --> 1:24:42.080
<v Speaker 1>for like new attractions, and they've got one. It's called

1:24:42.120 --> 1:24:46.120
<v Speaker 1>the MSG Sphere. This is a giant I'm sure you've

1:24:46.120 --> 1:24:50.960
<v Speaker 1>seen the videos online. It's this giant like ground building

1:24:51.080 --> 1:24:55.360
<v Speaker 1>that is going to house concerts and also video performances

1:24:55.400 --> 1:24:57.960
<v Speaker 1>and like all kinds of stuff. Like the entertainment that

1:24:57.960 --> 1:25:00.000
<v Speaker 1>they're creating for is brand new because it's a whole

1:25:00.160 --> 1:25:03.360
<v Speaker 1>new format. So I went into this thing when it

1:25:03.400 --> 1:25:06.200
<v Speaker 1>was being built and got like a behind the scenes

1:25:06.240 --> 1:25:09.120
<v Speaker 1>tour before it was finished. Now it is finished, and

1:25:09.160 --> 1:25:12.280
<v Speaker 1>they had the opening concert, which was you two. Last

1:25:12.360 --> 1:25:16.280
<v Speaker 1>night they had the opening I guess experience it was

1:25:16.320 --> 1:25:19.320
<v Speaker 1>like a taped experience. I could not make that, unfortunately,

1:25:19.720 --> 1:25:21.760
<v Speaker 1>but I did talk to my pal Sam Rubin at

1:25:21.840 --> 1:25:26.839
<v Speaker 1>KTLA about his experience with you two at the Sphere.

1:25:27.640 --> 1:25:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Sam Rubin is the entertainment reporter for KTLA, and you

1:25:30.920 --> 1:25:34.320
<v Speaker 1>were at the very first show at the Sphere, you two.

1:25:34.680 --> 1:25:35.879
<v Speaker 12>It was really remarkable.

1:25:35.880 --> 1:25:38.559
<v Speaker 13>It's one of those rare circumstances and rich you may

1:25:38.560 --> 1:25:40.720
<v Speaker 13>experience this more than I do at tech shows and

1:25:40.760 --> 1:25:45.080
<v Speaker 13>things where it is a genuine jaw drop where collectively

1:25:45.240 --> 1:25:49.519
<v Speaker 13>eighteen thousand people are like, oh wow, so it really

1:25:49.680 --> 1:25:50.120
<v Speaker 13>is something.

1:25:50.120 --> 1:25:51.040
<v Speaker 12>I think a lot of people have.

1:25:51.040 --> 1:25:54.280
<v Speaker 13>Seen the exterior, which is, you know, a giant billboard,

1:25:54.360 --> 1:25:58.200
<v Speaker 13>and it is cool and inside what is surprising is

1:25:58.280 --> 1:26:00.000
<v Speaker 13>once you go into the lobby level and by the way,

1:26:00.080 --> 1:26:02.360
<v Speaker 13>one thing which I think is an advantage of a

1:26:02.439 --> 1:26:05.760
<v Speaker 13>Vegas location. I walked from my hotel easy. You just

1:26:05.800 --> 1:26:07.559
<v Speaker 13>walk through the back of the Venetian. There you are,

1:26:08.920 --> 1:26:11.519
<v Speaker 13>and once inside in the lobby part, it was kind

1:26:11.560 --> 1:26:16.640
<v Speaker 13>of all futury. It's black and red and you know,

1:26:16.760 --> 1:26:21.080
<v Speaker 13>not wildly distinct from many other venues. Then you go

1:26:21.120 --> 1:26:24.639
<v Speaker 13>through kind of curtains to the seats, and a lot

1:26:24.680 --> 1:26:28.479
<v Speaker 13>of people have suggested there's an analogy to the Soaring

1:26:28.560 --> 1:26:32.280
<v Speaker 13>Over California ride that you feel it's not a dissimilar circumstance,

1:26:32.920 --> 1:26:36.320
<v Speaker 13>but maybe like Soaring in California, it's very it's big

1:26:36.439 --> 1:26:40.880
<v Speaker 13>and very wide, super duper wide, nine stories tall. And

1:26:41.000 --> 1:26:43.960
<v Speaker 13>what I sat in my seat, what I was looking

1:26:44.000 --> 1:26:45.559
<v Speaker 13>at I thought was.

1:26:45.960 --> 1:26:48.240
<v Speaker 12>Like you're in the middle of a cement cylinder.

1:26:48.280 --> 1:26:51.200
<v Speaker 13>I saw the stage and then behind it what looked

1:26:51.240 --> 1:26:54.559
<v Speaker 13>to me just like cement, and then when you two

1:26:54.760 --> 1:27:00.880
<v Speaker 13>takes the stage that cement starts to crack and that

1:27:01.040 --> 1:27:05.880
<v Speaker 13>was a video effect, leading to a parade.

1:27:05.479 --> 1:27:06.960
<v Speaker 12>Of video effects.

1:27:07.000 --> 1:27:11.240
<v Speaker 13>Some are absolutely stunning and spectacular. I think it's a

1:27:11.479 --> 1:27:15.400
<v Speaker 13>very interesting place for people to play. I'm not convinced

1:27:15.880 --> 1:27:19.840
<v Speaker 13>how many artists would really succeed there. Do they have

1:27:20.040 --> 1:27:24.800
<v Speaker 13>the degree of artistic ambition that you need. But it's

1:27:25.120 --> 1:27:26.160
<v Speaker 13>you know, you got to see it.

1:27:26.160 --> 1:27:26.920
<v Speaker 12>It's remarkable.

1:27:27.320 --> 1:27:30.240
<v Speaker 2>So is the venue too big? Is it?

1:27:30.520 --> 1:27:30.640
<v Speaker 8>Like?

1:27:31.000 --> 1:27:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Can you just place a standard concert in this venue?

1:27:34.040 --> 1:27:36.760
<v Speaker 1>I know they're also going to do shows and sort

1:27:36.760 --> 1:27:39.120
<v Speaker 1>of like movies and three D effects.

1:27:39.680 --> 1:27:42.040
<v Speaker 13>This is the thing the thought that I had, and

1:27:42.080 --> 1:27:44.920
<v Speaker 13>I really you know, the phrases that had been bandied.

1:27:44.640 --> 1:27:48.400
<v Speaker 12>About, and it's mind boggling, it's insane.

1:27:48.520 --> 1:27:52.720
<v Speaker 13>And the thought that I had is just because you

1:27:52.800 --> 1:27:55.000
<v Speaker 13>have a Lamborghini and you can drive it one hundred

1:27:55.000 --> 1:27:57.080
<v Speaker 13>and eighty miles an hour, should you drive it one

1:27:57.160 --> 1:27:58.040
<v Speaker 13>hundred and eighty miles.

1:27:57.840 --> 1:27:59.200
<v Speaker 12>An hour all the time?

1:28:00.280 --> 1:28:03.879
<v Speaker 13>And they just sang and played on stage and those moments,

1:28:04.160 --> 1:28:07.439
<v Speaker 13>to me were my favorite moments. That's what I liked best.

1:28:08.520 --> 1:28:10.600
<v Speaker 13>And somehow, you know, it's ten thirty at night in

1:28:10.640 --> 1:28:13.400
<v Speaker 13>Las Vegas. You're out in the middle of the desert,

1:28:13.400 --> 1:28:16.160
<v Speaker 13>and between the video screen and the manipulation of the

1:28:16.160 --> 1:28:19.760
<v Speaker 13>house lights, all of us are outside. And that was

1:28:20.320 --> 1:28:24.519
<v Speaker 13>unbelievably cool. But again, how many people can do all that?

1:28:24.920 --> 1:28:25.920
<v Speaker 12>I think there are few.

1:28:26.439 --> 1:28:28.640
<v Speaker 1>How are the acoustics, Because the sound is supposed to

1:28:28.640 --> 1:28:30.920
<v Speaker 1>be incredible inside this sphere.

1:28:30.640 --> 1:28:33.880
<v Speaker 13>I was extremely sensitive to that, and that was the

1:28:33.920 --> 1:28:35.240
<v Speaker 13>reason primarily I wanted to go.

1:28:35.320 --> 1:28:37.400
<v Speaker 12>I almost would have gone with my eyes closed.

1:28:37.760 --> 1:28:39.400
<v Speaker 13>And I sat next to a woman from the Hollywood

1:28:39.400 --> 1:28:43.759
<v Speaker 13>Reporter who was their technical reporter, and I was because

1:28:43.800 --> 1:28:46.320
<v Speaker 13>I felt recent shows that I've been lucky to attend

1:28:46.720 --> 1:28:48.759
<v Speaker 13>Taylor at SOFI, Beyonce at Sofi.

1:28:49.240 --> 1:28:51.000
<v Speaker 12>Frankly, I thought the sound was terrible. I thought the

1:28:51.040 --> 1:28:55.240
<v Speaker 12>sound was muddy and not good so Fi, I would agree, Yeah,

1:28:55.439 --> 1:28:57.240
<v Speaker 12>really super disappointing.

1:28:57.640 --> 1:29:00.160
<v Speaker 13>You know sometimes when they turn things up really loud

1:29:00.000 --> 1:29:01.600
<v Speaker 13>and it gets over modulated.

1:29:02.360 --> 1:29:03.160
<v Speaker 12>None of that happened.

1:29:03.160 --> 1:29:06.880
<v Speaker 13>I thought the acoustics were really good, and this woman,

1:29:06.880 --> 1:29:09.080
<v Speaker 13>who has more of an expertise than me, I was lucky.

1:29:09.120 --> 1:29:10.599
<v Speaker 13>I had a very good seat.

1:29:11.200 --> 1:29:13.200
<v Speaker 12>She said. She walked all over and the sound was

1:29:13.240 --> 1:29:13.959
<v Speaker 12>good everywhere.

1:29:14.520 --> 1:29:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

1:29:14.880 --> 1:29:16.680
<v Speaker 1>So because it's a new stadium, I feel like every

1:29:16.720 --> 1:29:18.400
<v Speaker 1>time we have a new opening of a venue, the

1:29:18.439 --> 1:29:20.240
<v Speaker 1>prices get higher for everything.

1:29:20.640 --> 1:29:21.760
<v Speaker 2>Did you notice any of that.

1:29:22.240 --> 1:29:25.120
<v Speaker 12>Well, here's the good thing. It's Vegas, so you can walk.

1:29:25.360 --> 1:29:29.280
<v Speaker 13>Parking was one hundred dollars, so obviously I wouldn't park there.

1:29:29.920 --> 1:29:33.240
<v Speaker 12>The concessions, you know, seven.

1:29:32.920 --> 1:29:35.640
<v Speaker 13>Dollars, bottle of water, you know, ten dollars, so to

1:29:35.760 --> 1:29:39.879
<v Speaker 13>that kind of thing. But the same kind of SOFI

1:29:39.920 --> 1:29:44.400
<v Speaker 13>principles come in with nothing cashless. If you carry a bag,

1:29:44.439 --> 1:29:46.360
<v Speaker 13>it can only be a clear plastic bag of a

1:29:46.360 --> 1:29:51.759
<v Speaker 13>certain dimension. And the tickets anywhere for you too, anywhere

1:29:51.800 --> 1:29:54.000
<v Speaker 13>from ninety to five hundred dollars.

1:29:54.720 --> 1:29:57.720
<v Speaker 12>Again, these three figure concert tickets. That's a kind of

1:29:57.720 --> 1:29:58.920
<v Speaker 12>a shock and a surprise to me.

1:30:00.000 --> 1:30:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, you're going to a concert. It is very expensive.

1:30:03.080 --> 1:30:08.240
<v Speaker 1>One hundred dollars for parking. What, Oh my gosh, David

1:30:08.280 --> 1:30:11.240
<v Speaker 1>where to senior digital security trainer at Freedom of the

1:30:11.320 --> 1:30:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Press is coming up next to talk about how to

1:30:14.040 --> 1:30:20.280
<v Speaker 1>pick the best VPN. Thanks Sam Rubin, Welcome back to

1:30:20.720 --> 1:30:22.680
<v Speaker 1>rich On Tech. Rich Demiro here are going to get

1:30:22.880 --> 1:30:26.000
<v Speaker 1>right into it because we've got a great guest David

1:30:26.040 --> 1:30:29.880
<v Speaker 1>where To, senior digital security trainer at the Freedom of

1:30:29.920 --> 1:30:34.440
<v Speaker 1>the Press Foundation. We get so many questions about VPNs,

1:30:34.640 --> 1:30:38.360
<v Speaker 1>and David is a great resource to explain when you

1:30:38.439 --> 1:30:41.519
<v Speaker 1>need one, why you might need one, and maybe even

1:30:41.520 --> 1:30:43.439
<v Speaker 1>give us some recommendations about what to look for.

1:30:43.800 --> 1:30:45.120
<v Speaker 2>David, Thanks for joining me today.

1:30:46.680 --> 1:30:47.240
<v Speaker 4>Thanks Rich.

1:30:48.040 --> 1:30:51.760
<v Speaker 1>So, first off, let's talk about what a VPN is.

1:30:51.840 --> 1:30:53.439
<v Speaker 1>Can you explain what that is?

1:30:55.120 --> 1:30:55.759
<v Speaker 12>Sure things?

1:30:55.800 --> 1:31:00.080
<v Speaker 9>So VPN just work for virtual private network. Is a

1:31:00.120 --> 1:31:03.360
<v Speaker 9>way for you to use someone else's Internet connection to

1:31:03.520 --> 1:31:07.160
<v Speaker 9>access things on the Internet like websites, apps, et cetera.

1:31:10.160 --> 1:31:12.720
<v Speaker 1>And so what's why would you need that? Like, what's

1:31:12.720 --> 1:31:15.040
<v Speaker 1>the main benefit of using that for the average consumer?

1:31:16.720 --> 1:31:19.559
<v Speaker 9>So what's interesting is that VPNs, you know, weren't really

1:31:19.560 --> 1:31:23.719
<v Speaker 9>designed for things like privacy originally, but they became really

1:31:23.840 --> 1:31:27.679
<v Speaker 9>useful as ad networks started to track people's as sort

1:31:27.680 --> 1:31:31.080
<v Speaker 9>of like movements across the Internet. You may have noticed,

1:31:31.120 --> 1:31:33.519
<v Speaker 9>for example, if you, you know, do a search for

1:31:33.960 --> 1:31:37.599
<v Speaker 9>specific things, you may see ads for it following. There's

1:31:37.640 --> 1:31:39.920
<v Speaker 9>a lot of different sort of like things that go

1:31:40.000 --> 1:31:43.840
<v Speaker 9>into figuring out how to present you those ads, one

1:31:43.840 --> 1:31:47.240
<v Speaker 9>of which is what is called an IP address, which

1:31:47.280 --> 1:31:49.320
<v Speaker 9>is basically a little bit like a phone number, Like

1:31:49.400 --> 1:31:52.520
<v Speaker 9>every computer network in the world has one. So if you're,

1:31:52.680 --> 1:31:57.120
<v Speaker 9>you know, browsing for shoes, for example, online on your

1:31:57.120 --> 1:32:00.720
<v Speaker 9>home network, suddenly people also on your home network are

1:32:00.760 --> 1:32:04.679
<v Speaker 9>going to see ads for shoes and VPNs in this case,

1:32:04.760 --> 1:32:08.879
<v Speaker 9>let you use somebody else's ipidras, somebody else's Internet connection basically,

1:32:09.040 --> 1:32:13.280
<v Speaker 9>so that things like advertiser's another other concerns that you

1:32:13.320 --> 1:32:16.120
<v Speaker 9>might have around privacy are a little bit more obfuscated.

1:32:17.200 --> 1:32:19.479
<v Speaker 1>So what's the downside? I mean, so that's the positive.

1:32:19.479 --> 1:32:22.160
<v Speaker 1>It sounds like it protects your privacy. What's the downside

1:32:22.160 --> 1:32:22.960
<v Speaker 1>of using a VPN?

1:32:24.680 --> 1:32:30.280
<v Speaker 9>The downside in this case is that they are blocked

1:32:30.400 --> 1:32:33.200
<v Speaker 9>by a lot of websites. In many cases, some of

1:32:33.240 --> 1:32:35.920
<v Speaker 9>the most popular apps and websites that you might use

1:32:36.000 --> 1:32:40.840
<v Speaker 9>day to day. For example, Yelp will generally block VPN connections.

1:32:41.040 --> 1:32:43.320
<v Speaker 9>A lot of streaming services will do the same thing,

1:32:44.240 --> 1:32:47.920
<v Speaker 9>and it does kind of change the way you see

1:32:48.680 --> 1:32:52.360
<v Speaker 9>you experience the Internet because websites sometimes look at vp

1:32:52.640 --> 1:32:54.320
<v Speaker 9>and connections with a little bit of suspicion.

1:32:54.920 --> 1:32:56.720
<v Speaker 1>It's interesting. I was trying to log into one of

1:32:56.760 --> 1:32:59.200
<v Speaker 1>my financial websites. The other day and it would not

1:32:59.280 --> 1:33:00.800
<v Speaker 1>let me and I could not figure out, like what

1:33:00.880 --> 1:33:02.800
<v Speaker 1>is going on here? And I realized that I had

1:33:02.840 --> 1:33:05.519
<v Speaker 1>a VPN on and it would not let me do

1:33:05.560 --> 1:33:07.960
<v Speaker 1>that connection if I had a VPN. Because on the

1:33:07.960 --> 1:33:10.640
<v Speaker 1>flip side, if you, let's say you had a nefarious

1:33:10.760 --> 1:33:13.679
<v Speaker 1>VPN that you didn't really know about on your phone,

1:33:13.720 --> 1:33:15.360
<v Speaker 1>I guess it could be, you know, because they the

1:33:15.439 --> 1:33:17.559
<v Speaker 1>VPN sort of has access to all of the stuff

1:33:17.600 --> 1:33:18.400
<v Speaker 1>that you're doing, right.

1:33:19.760 --> 1:33:22.240
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, And that's a really good point, is that in

1:33:22.280 --> 1:33:25.599
<v Speaker 9>this case, when you use a VPN, you're changing the

1:33:25.640 --> 1:33:29.960
<v Speaker 9>direction of your trust from your ant service provider over

1:33:30.040 --> 1:33:33.759
<v Speaker 9>to the VPN company. So the trustworthiness of that VPN

1:33:33.840 --> 1:33:34.800
<v Speaker 9>company is paramount.

1:33:34.920 --> 1:33:35.280
<v Speaker 2>Hmm.

1:33:35.520 --> 1:33:37.679
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So I guess that brings me to the million

1:33:37.720 --> 1:33:41.559
<v Speaker 1>dollar question, what should you look for if you're use

1:33:41.640 --> 1:33:43.559
<v Speaker 1>if you're you know, trying to find a VPN, because

1:33:43.600 --> 1:33:45.519
<v Speaker 1>there's so many ads for VPNs, becausere's a lot of

1:33:45.520 --> 1:33:48.519
<v Speaker 1>money in this because anytime you talk privacy, people are like,

1:33:48.560 --> 1:33:50.920
<v Speaker 1>I want to protect my privacy, so I'll pay for that.

1:33:51.120 --> 1:33:53.920
<v Speaker 1>And I guess, you know, how do you pick one

1:33:53.960 --> 1:33:54.400
<v Speaker 1>that's good?

1:33:56.200 --> 1:34:00.000
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, it's definitely a challenge there's many, many, many VPNs

1:34:00.080 --> 1:34:02.479
<v Speaker 9>companies out there. Some of them are a little bit

1:34:02.520 --> 1:34:06.160
<v Speaker 9>better advertising than others, but some of them are also

1:34:06.200 --> 1:34:09.720
<v Speaker 9>better at protecting your privacy than others. The things that

1:34:09.880 --> 1:34:12.519
<v Speaker 9>I always look out for in this case are a

1:34:12.560 --> 1:34:17.360
<v Speaker 9>combination of two sort of areas, policy and technology. On

1:34:17.400 --> 1:34:20.360
<v Speaker 9>the privot privacy policy side, you want to look for

1:34:20.439 --> 1:34:24.439
<v Speaker 9>things like a no logging policy or a low logging policy,

1:34:24.479 --> 1:34:29.200
<v Speaker 9>where they're not keeping records of your online movements. Sometimes

1:34:29.200 --> 1:34:32.200
<v Speaker 9>this is verified with a no logging certification done by

1:34:32.200 --> 1:34:35.720
<v Speaker 9>a third party auditor, sometimes going even further than that

1:34:35.760 --> 1:34:39.040
<v Speaker 9>with a third party security audit done by a cybersecurity company.

1:34:39.560 --> 1:34:42.679
<v Speaker 9>Which goes into the technology side of things, is that

1:34:43.680 --> 1:34:46.519
<v Speaker 9>it's important that whatever VPN company you use, that they

1:34:46.640 --> 1:34:50.160
<v Speaker 9>be incredibly transparent about the types of technologies they're using.

1:34:50.640 --> 1:34:53.720
<v Speaker 9>There's a lot of nuance to running a VPN from

1:34:53.720 --> 1:34:57.599
<v Speaker 9>the back end, and if you have lots and lots

1:34:57.640 --> 1:35:00.360
<v Speaker 9>of technical documentation available to you, that's probably a good

1:35:00.400 --> 1:35:02.920
<v Speaker 9>side that they know what they're doing. Generally, though, you

1:35:02.960 --> 1:35:05.720
<v Speaker 9>want to look for things like WireGuard, which is a

1:35:05.760 --> 1:35:08.479
<v Speaker 9>faster and more modern sort of way to connect to

1:35:08.520 --> 1:35:12.320
<v Speaker 9>a VPN, But then also if they do have things

1:35:12.360 --> 1:35:16.160
<v Speaker 9>like open VPN for example, that that also is fine.

1:35:16.760 --> 1:35:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So everyone likes free and of course people are

1:35:20.320 --> 1:35:23.200
<v Speaker 1>going to gravitate towards free VPNs. I know, like Opera,

1:35:23.280 --> 1:35:26.280
<v Speaker 1>I think has like a free VPN built in. I know,

1:35:26.360 --> 1:35:28.559
<v Speaker 1>I get a free VPN with Google. I get like

1:35:28.640 --> 1:35:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Google one VPN. So tell me about free VPNs and

1:35:32.800 --> 1:35:35.960
<v Speaker 1>those specifically, like are some better than others when it

1:35:36.000 --> 1:35:38.960
<v Speaker 1>comes to my privacy and also trust?

1:35:40.240 --> 1:35:43.080
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I would say that, you know, as a general

1:35:43.200 --> 1:35:48.040
<v Speaker 9>rule of them, I generally avoid or recommend avoiding free VPNs,

1:35:48.120 --> 1:35:52.479
<v Speaker 9>mostly because if their business model is not to you know,

1:35:52.760 --> 1:35:54.920
<v Speaker 9>take money from you every day, they have to be

1:35:55.000 --> 1:35:58.000
<v Speaker 9>making money by some other way to get to that,

1:35:58.680 --> 1:36:02.800
<v Speaker 9>to you know, pay their their server builds, and you know,

1:36:02.920 --> 1:36:05.000
<v Speaker 9>Google in this case has plenty of its own money.

1:36:06.200 --> 1:36:08.680
<v Speaker 9>Opera I'm less familiar with in this case of what

1:36:08.840 --> 1:36:13.200
<v Speaker 9>their particular business model is. But in many cases, like

1:36:13.280 --> 1:36:16.600
<v Speaker 9>the sort of like default setting for business models on

1:36:16.640 --> 1:36:22.240
<v Speaker 9>the Internet is basically your data and monetizing that. And

1:36:22.400 --> 1:36:23.920
<v Speaker 9>when you think of the amount of trust that you

1:36:23.960 --> 1:36:26.120
<v Speaker 9>have to put into a VPN, that becomes a very

1:36:26.120 --> 1:36:31.320
<v Speaker 9>important question. It's like, okay, is this VPN free for reasons?

1:36:31.560 --> 1:36:34.320
<v Speaker 9>Is that reason because I am the product here that

1:36:34.479 --> 1:36:37.960
<v Speaker 9>is actually being sold and that can be, you know,

1:36:38.040 --> 1:36:39.360
<v Speaker 9>a very precarious situation.

1:36:40.360 --> 1:36:43.120
<v Speaker 1>So are there any VPNs that you recommend? Can you

1:36:43.160 --> 1:36:44.439
<v Speaker 1>recommend any that you like?

1:36:46.080 --> 1:36:46.400
<v Speaker 5>Sure?

1:36:46.640 --> 1:36:48.960
<v Speaker 9>So you know, I did a lot of research for

1:36:50.920 --> 1:36:53.719
<v Speaker 9>vp how to basically pick a VPN a while ago,

1:36:54.479 --> 1:36:57.519
<v Speaker 9>and using sort of those rubrics that I mentioned of

1:36:57.560 --> 1:37:00.240
<v Speaker 9>like looking at a good privacy policy, looking at sort

1:37:00.240 --> 1:37:03.240
<v Speaker 9>of competency on the tech side. There is a short

1:37:03.280 --> 1:37:05.880
<v Speaker 9>list that comes to mind and that keeps kind of

1:37:05.920 --> 1:37:11.599
<v Speaker 9>coming back in this case, tunnel Bear, IVPN, moll Bad.

1:37:13.080 --> 1:37:15.640
<v Speaker 9>Not all of these companies are very good at advertising,

1:37:15.800 --> 1:37:18.599
<v Speaker 9>but from my research, at least from what I can

1:37:18.600 --> 1:37:20.879
<v Speaker 9>tell for my research, they seem to be pretty competent

1:37:20.920 --> 1:37:22.519
<v Speaker 9>on the tech and privacy side of things.

1:37:22.640 --> 1:37:24.599
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so I'm just gonna go through those one more time.

1:37:24.680 --> 1:37:28.559
<v Speaker 1>You said tunnel Bear, and so that one. Let's see.

1:37:28.640 --> 1:37:31.600
<v Speaker 1>So I'm looking at the pricing, and it's a cute website,

1:37:31.640 --> 1:37:34.320
<v Speaker 1>so it's got to it does have a free level,

1:37:34.360 --> 1:37:36.520
<v Speaker 1>so you can actually try it for free unlimited.

1:37:36.800 --> 1:37:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Is looks like it's about three thirty three a month,

1:37:40.880 --> 1:37:43.480
<v Speaker 2>then you've got IPVN.

1:37:42.680 --> 1:37:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Is that what you said, ivpn ivpn ivpn IVPN. Okay,

1:37:49.200 --> 1:37:52.080
<v Speaker 1>so I'm looking up that one and this one. Oh wow,

1:37:52.120 --> 1:37:54.519
<v Speaker 1>they're really like a little bit not as cute. This

1:37:54.640 --> 1:37:57.880
<v Speaker 1>is more like resist online surveillance. And so they've got

1:37:58.439 --> 1:38:01.479
<v Speaker 1>you can generate an account with no email required, they've

1:38:01.479 --> 1:38:04.040
<v Speaker 1>got their ethics right on the homepage, and they've got

1:38:04.040 --> 1:38:07.599
<v Speaker 1>a standard plan that's about six dollars a month or

1:38:07.680 --> 1:38:11.200
<v Speaker 1>sixty dollars a year. And then the final one you

1:38:11.240 --> 1:38:12.200
<v Speaker 1>said was Molevad.

1:38:13.680 --> 1:38:16.960
<v Speaker 9>Yes, so mole AD's kind of always been sort of

1:38:16.960 --> 1:38:20.280
<v Speaker 9>the perennial sort of always doing exactly what I look

1:38:20.360 --> 1:38:23.400
<v Speaker 9>for sort of option, and that's been the case so far.

1:38:23.479 --> 1:38:25.840
<v Speaker 9>We'll see if that changes, but so far, so good.

1:38:27.160 --> 1:38:31.160
<v Speaker 9>They've consistently being been consistent basically on the tech side

1:38:31.160 --> 1:38:32.920
<v Speaker 9>as well as the policy side. And they have a

1:38:32.920 --> 1:38:34.840
<v Speaker 9>fun animal mascot just like tim ol Bear.

1:38:35.080 --> 1:38:39.280
<v Speaker 1>And that's spelled Mullvad. And it looks like it's a

1:38:39.320 --> 1:38:41.880
<v Speaker 1>European based company because the prices are in euros, so

1:38:41.920 --> 1:38:45.960
<v Speaker 1>it's about five dollars and twenty four cents a month.

1:38:46.040 --> 1:38:48.000
<v Speaker 1>And what I like about them is that it's the

1:38:48.040 --> 1:38:50.880
<v Speaker 1>same price every month. They don't do like pricing game,

1:38:50.960 --> 1:38:53.639
<v Speaker 1>so I also appreciate that. So we've got a couple

1:38:53.680 --> 1:38:56.720
<v Speaker 1>of recommendations. The million I guess the other million dollar

1:38:56.800 --> 1:39:01.320
<v Speaker 1>question is when do you recommend the average person uses

1:39:01.360 --> 1:39:03.240
<v Speaker 1>a VPN. Should we be using this on our Wi

1:39:03.240 --> 1:39:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Fi network at home, when we're in a hotel all

1:39:06.080 --> 1:39:08.479
<v Speaker 1>the time. Sometimes when do we need to use one

1:39:08.520 --> 1:39:08.840
<v Speaker 1>of these?

1:39:10.320 --> 1:39:13.160
<v Speaker 9>It kind of depends on your own sort of personal

1:39:13.200 --> 1:39:18.120
<v Speaker 9>comfort level with ad surveillance. One of the things that

1:39:18.160 --> 1:39:21.320
<v Speaker 9>people like to use to mitigate that risk in addition

1:39:21.360 --> 1:39:23.720
<v Speaker 9>to a VPN is things like an ad blocker like

1:39:23.760 --> 1:39:29.080
<v Speaker 9>privacy Badger. When it comes to using a VPN for

1:39:29.160 --> 1:39:32.880
<v Speaker 9>security reasons, you don't really need it as much as

1:39:32.920 --> 1:39:35.439
<v Speaker 9>you used to. The good news is like things like

1:39:35.680 --> 1:39:39.519
<v Speaker 9>your bank connection. You know, when you do banking stuff

1:39:39.520 --> 1:39:42.760
<v Speaker 9>online or other kind of like basically most other websites,

1:39:42.800 --> 1:39:47.280
<v Speaker 9>you'll have a secure, encrypted connection between you and that website,

1:39:47.680 --> 1:39:49.840
<v Speaker 9>So you don't really need a VPN to protect your

1:39:50.000 --> 1:39:54.799
<v Speaker 9>financial data for example, generally, but if you are looking

1:39:54.920 --> 1:40:02.160
<v Speaker 9>to minimize your sort of IP address data your location

1:40:02.320 --> 1:40:06.280
<v Speaker 9>data from online advertising, then a VPN is very useful for.

1:40:06.240 --> 1:40:08.479
<v Speaker 2>That all right, David Wuerta, we'll leave it there.

1:40:08.920 --> 1:40:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Senior digital security trainer at the Freedom of the Press Foundation,

1:40:12.920 --> 1:40:15.439
<v Speaker 1>thanks so much for joining me today. Some really great

1:40:15.479 --> 1:40:17.280
<v Speaker 1>advice here, and I think it cleared up a lot

1:40:17.280 --> 1:40:18.800
<v Speaker 1>of misconceptions about these things.

1:40:18.800 --> 1:40:21.799
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate it. Thanks.

1:40:22.200 --> 1:40:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Coming up next, it's the feedback segment. We'll get to

1:40:25.640 --> 1:40:28.240
<v Speaker 1>some of the emails that you sent me throughout the week.

1:40:28.640 --> 1:40:31.759
<v Speaker 1>We'll close out the show. My name is rich Demiro,

1:40:31.920 --> 1:40:34.679
<v Speaker 1>and you are listening to rich on Tech. By the way,

1:40:34.760 --> 1:40:36.479
<v Speaker 1>I'll put all the links on the website rich on

1:40:36.560 --> 1:40:39.000
<v Speaker 1>tech dot tv, So all those VPNs we just mentioned,

1:40:45.400 --> 1:40:51.240
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to rich on Tech. Closing out the show

1:40:51.320 --> 1:40:54.280
<v Speaker 1>with the feedback segment. But first let me tell you

1:40:54.320 --> 1:40:59.639
<v Speaker 1>about this Ring extra Terrestrial Search Contest. Ring is offering

1:40:59.680 --> 1:41:03.080
<v Speaker 1>a one one million dollar prize grand prize if you

1:41:03.160 --> 1:41:07.559
<v Speaker 1>capture scientific evidence of a real extraterrestrial on a ring device.

1:41:08.520 --> 1:41:11.680
<v Speaker 1>So this ain't like you know, kids pressed up as

1:41:11.720 --> 1:41:14.080
<v Speaker 1>et for Halloween. You capture it, That's not what they're

1:41:14.080 --> 1:41:17.920
<v Speaker 1>talking about here. This is like real alien stuff on

1:41:17.960 --> 1:41:20.720
<v Speaker 1>your ring. Any device doesn't have to be The Video

1:41:20.800 --> 1:41:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Doorbell Contest runs from October fourth to November three, you

1:41:25.760 --> 1:41:29.280
<v Speaker 1>can submit creative videos of extraterrestrial sightings for a chance

1:41:29.320 --> 1:41:30.880
<v Speaker 1>to win a five hundred dollars gift card. I feel

1:41:30.880 --> 1:41:34.240
<v Speaker 1>like that's what more people are gonna win. Submissions are

1:41:34.240 --> 1:41:38.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna be reviewed by a space and extraterrestrial expert, and

1:41:39.000 --> 1:41:41.280
<v Speaker 1>you are encouraged to get creative. Okay, so this is

1:41:41.320 --> 1:41:44.000
<v Speaker 1>really like a big ad for all these different you

1:41:44.040 --> 1:41:47.320
<v Speaker 1>know ring features. So, by the way, and the one

1:41:47.320 --> 1:41:49.120
<v Speaker 1>feature I do like is called the quick reply. If

1:41:49.120 --> 1:41:51.120
<v Speaker 1>you're not using that on your ring doorbell, go into

1:41:51.160 --> 1:41:53.880
<v Speaker 1>the settings and choose your quick reply. They usually have

1:41:53.880 --> 1:41:56.920
<v Speaker 1>fun ones for Halloween. You can make your video chime

1:41:57.560 --> 1:42:00.679
<v Speaker 1>the doorbell chime sound like a fun Halloween sound. It's

1:42:00.720 --> 1:42:03.080
<v Speaker 1>really really cool. So if you haven't looked at the

1:42:03.160 --> 1:42:07.000
<v Speaker 1>ring settings lately, they're really fun for the holidays. And

1:42:07.040 --> 1:42:09.160
<v Speaker 1>also quick replies, you can say, like I have mine

1:42:09.200 --> 1:42:12.040
<v Speaker 1>set up where when a solicitor rings the doorbell, it

1:42:12.080 --> 1:42:15.160
<v Speaker 1>just says, sorry, we're not interested. It's so cold, but

1:42:15.280 --> 1:42:19.599
<v Speaker 1>it's like it works. You can hashtag ring million dollar sighting.

1:42:20.920 --> 1:42:23.040
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I always say this, I always say

1:42:23.040 --> 1:42:24.600
<v Speaker 1>look because people and I get I'm not going to

1:42:24.680 --> 1:42:27.600
<v Speaker 1>get into the whole debate whether there's you know, UFOs

1:42:27.680 --> 1:42:31.040
<v Speaker 1>and all this stuff, but like Bigfoot, let's be real,

1:42:31.479 --> 1:42:34.479
<v Speaker 1>we have had cell phones with cameras in our world

1:42:34.560 --> 1:42:39.200
<v Speaker 1>now for twenty plus years, and somehow we have yet

1:42:39.240 --> 1:42:42.840
<v Speaker 1>to see any evidence of this other stuff that people

1:42:42.960 --> 1:42:46.479
<v Speaker 1>somehow see all the time. But yet there's never video evidence.

1:42:46.760 --> 1:42:50.599
<v Speaker 1>Come on, any anything happens to anyone, and there's tons

1:42:50.600 --> 1:42:57.720
<v Speaker 1>of video of it, but somehow UFOs, aliens, Bigfoot never

1:42:57.760 --> 1:43:00.200
<v Speaker 1>gets captured, and if it does get captured, it's the

1:43:00.200 --> 1:43:02.559
<v Speaker 1>worst video you've ever seen in your life. Like, I

1:43:02.640 --> 1:43:05.360
<v Speaker 1>think that could be an alien? Or is that just

1:43:05.439 --> 1:43:12.920
<v Speaker 1>a big rat? Bobo says they're aliens. I want to believe. Oh,

1:43:13.040 --> 1:43:16.599
<v Speaker 1>don't get me wrong. I want to believe, because there's

1:43:16.680 --> 1:43:18.640
<v Speaker 1>no way that we are the only things in this

1:43:18.880 --> 1:43:19.759
<v Speaker 1>entire universe.

1:43:20.040 --> 1:43:24.600
<v Speaker 2>Come on. But still, all right, let's get to the

1:43:24.600 --> 1:43:31.280
<v Speaker 2>feedback segment. Uh EV suck rights, b I can't say

1:43:31.280 --> 1:43:32.040
<v Speaker 2>the other word.

1:43:32.280 --> 1:43:35.760
<v Speaker 1>If the FORTYV is great, why did why did I

1:43:35.760 --> 1:43:39.400
<v Speaker 1>don't know, Leon Kaplan Motorman take his Mustang back after

1:43:39.439 --> 1:43:41.439
<v Speaker 1>a few weeks and said it was terrible, just awful.

1:43:41.800 --> 1:43:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Why are major USA car makers losing money making these

1:43:44.720 --> 1:43:47.160
<v Speaker 1>cars that people don't want. Why are they so expensive

1:43:47.200 --> 1:43:50.080
<v Speaker 1>that government US has to offer incentives for the elite

1:43:50.080 --> 1:43:52.760
<v Speaker 1>to purchase one? Why is there not enough electricity in

1:43:52.800 --> 1:43:55.360
<v Speaker 1>the grid for our households to run during peak hours

1:43:55.360 --> 1:43:57.759
<v Speaker 1>while EV's get a pass to charge twenty four to seven.

1:43:58.400 --> 1:44:00.439
<v Speaker 2>I thought, so, oh, you got me.

1:44:00.800 --> 1:44:01.280
<v Speaker 12>You're right.

1:44:01.439 --> 1:44:05.639
<v Speaker 2>We should just stop all all all ev work. Just stop.

1:44:05.840 --> 1:44:07.920
<v Speaker 2>We don't need them. Yeah, let's just go back to gas.

1:44:08.439 --> 1:44:12.799
<v Speaker 1>Albert says, I mainly subscribe to Amazon Prime for shipping. Honestly,

1:44:12.840 --> 1:44:14.840
<v Speaker 1>I can't remember the last time I accessed the Prime

1:44:14.920 --> 1:44:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Video app, referring to the three dollars charge that Amazon

1:44:19.040 --> 1:44:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Prime will now have for.

1:44:22.160 --> 1:44:23.120
<v Speaker 2>Ad freeviewing.

1:44:23.520 --> 1:44:27.080
<v Speaker 1>I am actually watching a video series on Amazon Prime,

1:44:27.120 --> 1:44:29.320
<v Speaker 1>if you can believe it. I was on a plane

1:44:29.360 --> 1:44:31.439
<v Speaker 1>a lot this month, so I was like, you know what,

1:44:31.520 --> 1:44:33.759
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, I'll tell you why. It's because

1:44:33.760 --> 1:44:36.559
<v Speaker 1>Netflix would not let me download anything and YouTube would

1:44:36.560 --> 1:44:39.720
<v Speaker 1>not because I'm logged into so many different devices and

1:44:39.800 --> 1:44:42.360
<v Speaker 1>family members I guess that are latching onto my account

1:44:42.560 --> 1:44:45.240
<v Speaker 1>that I can no longer download. I am paying for

1:44:45.320 --> 1:44:49.000
<v Speaker 1>my own stuff and I can't download it. So YouTube said, sorry,

1:44:49.080 --> 1:44:51.719
<v Speaker 1>can't download? Netflix said sorry, you can't download.

1:44:52.000 --> 1:44:52.599
<v Speaker 2>So what I do?

1:44:52.680 --> 1:44:54.240
<v Speaker 1>I went to the next best. I just said, okay,

1:44:54.280 --> 1:44:56.479
<v Speaker 1>let me see. Amazon Prime doesn't seem to care. So

1:44:56.520 --> 1:44:58.640
<v Speaker 1>I was able to download a whole show and I

1:44:58.680 --> 1:45:00.320
<v Speaker 1>can't even tell you the title because I can't remember

1:45:00.320 --> 1:45:04.599
<v Speaker 1>what it's called. It's called uh oh, my gosh, uh

1:45:04.760 --> 1:45:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Wilderness and it's not that good all the Amazon shows,

1:45:09.080 --> 1:45:11.160
<v Speaker 1>and I don't want to knock Amazon. I don't know

1:45:11.200 --> 1:45:14.120
<v Speaker 1>if you've watched them, but they're lacking like a certain

1:45:14.360 --> 1:45:17.920
<v Speaker 1>like oomph, you know what I mean. Like it feels

1:45:17.960 --> 1:45:20.920
<v Speaker 1>like a show that nobody's watching except you. That's like

1:45:20.960 --> 1:45:24.280
<v Speaker 1>a really bad quality of a show. Uh.

1:45:24.400 --> 1:45:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Neil says.

1:45:25.000 --> 1:45:27.040
<v Speaker 1>My wife has been using Samsung, but in the past

1:45:27.040 --> 1:45:29.839
<v Speaker 1>few months she's been aggravated by frequent updates without asking

1:45:30.120 --> 1:45:32.960
<v Speaker 1>each one, generating notifications for tens of messages from people

1:45:33.000 --> 1:45:36.640
<v Speaker 1>she has blocked, and changing her settings. She's also frustrating

1:45:36.640 --> 1:45:38.679
<v Speaker 1>and trying to get large type in her various apps

1:45:38.720 --> 1:45:41.479
<v Speaker 1>and browsers. Finally, as her lease neared its end, she

1:45:41.560 --> 1:45:43.160
<v Speaker 1>got a great trade and offer and jumped to the

1:45:43.160 --> 1:45:46.759
<v Speaker 1>iPhone fifteen promacs. She likes the large screen and text

1:45:47.720 --> 1:45:50.680
<v Speaker 1>and while she is still learning the Apple way. She

1:45:50.800 --> 1:45:54.040
<v Speaker 1>was immediately impressed and pleased with these settings slash accessibility,

1:45:54.160 --> 1:45:58.200
<v Speaker 1>slash text size, slider miles to go with all the

1:45:58.200 --> 1:46:01.400
<v Speaker 1>app settings. But fingers crossed that she stays happy, have

1:46:01.439 --> 1:46:04.719
<v Speaker 1>a great day, and thanks for serving the community. Yep,

1:46:05.439 --> 1:46:08.120
<v Speaker 1>she switched iPhone and she likes it, so good for her.

1:46:08.320 --> 1:46:11.559
<v Speaker 1>That is great, Bob says, regarding your last radio show,

1:46:11.600 --> 1:46:13.960
<v Speaker 1>you had a call about an old device that a

1:46:14.000 --> 1:46:16.120
<v Speaker 1>person could not get Windows ten or eleven to see

1:46:16.120 --> 1:46:20.080
<v Speaker 1>the files. It's probably because by default Windows ten eleven

1:46:20.080 --> 1:46:24.080
<v Speaker 1>has SMB one the old SMB turned off. I had

1:46:24.080 --> 1:46:25.720
<v Speaker 1>an old nass that I wanted to connect to my

1:46:25.720 --> 1:46:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Windows ten computer and I had to turn on SMB one.

1:46:28.960 --> 1:46:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Here's a website that will walk you through how to

1:46:31.840 --> 1:46:34.400
<v Speaker 1>turn on SMB one. Oh, there you go. So this

1:46:34.600 --> 1:46:38.719
<v Speaker 1>was a caller last week about the little old device

1:46:38.760 --> 1:46:40.320
<v Speaker 1>he had that he couldn't connect to his computer and

1:46:40.360 --> 1:46:43.040
<v Speaker 1>get the files off. So Bob is saying that if

1:46:43.080 --> 1:46:45.200
<v Speaker 1>you turn on SMB one, maybe you'll be able to

1:46:45.240 --> 1:46:47.840
<v Speaker 1>access them. Bob says, keep up the great work. Even

1:46:47.880 --> 1:46:50.160
<v Speaker 1>though I'm a tech guy, I enjoy listening to your show.

1:46:50.240 --> 1:46:52.840
<v Speaker 1>I always learned something Well, I like that you listen

1:46:52.880 --> 1:46:55.360
<v Speaker 1>even though you're a tech guy. And yes, this show

1:46:55.479 --> 1:46:59.600
<v Speaker 1>is definitely aimed at folks who have varying tech abilities,

1:47:00.120 --> 1:47:03.040
<v Speaker 1>and so I'm glad that you do find the enjoyment.

1:47:04.360 --> 1:47:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Matt says, Hey, rich, short and sweet. I'm hard of

1:47:06.840 --> 1:47:09.320
<v Speaker 1>hearing for eleven years hearing aids, and with this new

1:47:09.320 --> 1:47:12.040
<v Speaker 1>iPhone fifteen the update volume level seems to have gone

1:47:12.040 --> 1:47:14.960
<v Speaker 1>down dramatically. I don't mind paying for a good volume

1:47:15.000 --> 1:47:18.680
<v Speaker 1>booster if it's a reasonable amount that will work on music, audiobooks, podcasts,

1:47:18.720 --> 1:47:21.640
<v Speaker 1>and other apps downloaded more than I can remember. That

1:47:21.640 --> 1:47:24.760
<v Speaker 1>seemed to be outrageously expensive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1:47:25.080 --> 1:47:27.280
<v Speaker 1>I feel like Apple has a burr under the saddle

1:47:27.320 --> 1:47:29.320
<v Speaker 1>about this issue. It seems like I should be able

1:47:29.400 --> 1:47:32.599
<v Speaker 1>to get an Audie just to show them that I

1:47:32.640 --> 1:47:35.160
<v Speaker 1>really haven't hearing problem. The big issues if I'm in

1:47:35.200 --> 1:47:37.040
<v Speaker 1>the shower, I can't hear my hearing aids. I can't

1:47:37.080 --> 1:47:39.640
<v Speaker 1>turn up the volume on the phone loud enough to

1:47:39.640 --> 1:47:42.840
<v Speaker 1>hear over the shower. Thanks again, love the show, Matt, Well.

1:47:42.920 --> 1:47:45.879
<v Speaker 1>I think if you update to iOS, the latest iOS,

1:47:45.920 --> 1:47:48.840
<v Speaker 1>maybe they fix some of those problems. Because there's definitely

1:47:48.880 --> 1:47:52.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of sound issues with the first release, and

1:47:52.439 --> 1:47:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Rita says rich I love watching and listening to all

1:47:55.240 --> 1:47:57.799
<v Speaker 1>your shows. The online information and of course your videos

1:47:58.160 --> 1:47:59.519
<v Speaker 1>traveling to trade shows, etc.

1:48:00.080 --> 1:48:01.360
<v Speaker 2>Make it easy to keep up with.

1:48:01.400 --> 1:48:04.600
<v Speaker 1>All things tech related. I even sound knowledgeable to my

1:48:04.680 --> 1:48:07.440
<v Speaker 1>friends when I share some tidbits I've heard from you.

1:48:07.439 --> 1:48:10.840
<v Speaker 1>You make it easy to understand. Love your Saturday radio show.

1:48:10.920 --> 1:48:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Great job, very smooth, beautiful family, Rita. Can I invite

1:48:14.400 --> 1:48:17.680
<v Speaker 1>you to my family with all the nice stuff you

1:48:17.720 --> 1:48:20.320
<v Speaker 1>say about me? My gosh, I think this is the

1:48:20.880 --> 1:48:22.719
<v Speaker 1>Is this from someone in my family? No, they would

1:48:22.720 --> 1:48:25.280
<v Speaker 1>never be that nice to me, she says.

1:48:25.280 --> 1:48:25.599
<v Speaker 2>Ps.

1:48:25.640 --> 1:48:27.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm eighty and I love my Apple Watch, my iPhone,

1:48:27.880 --> 1:48:30.240
<v Speaker 1>my iPad, and the encyclopedia and World Book.

1:48:30.240 --> 1:48:32.559
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember those held right in our hands? Yes?

1:48:32.600 --> 1:48:34.280
<v Speaker 2>I do, because my family had them.

1:48:34.720 --> 1:48:37.720
<v Speaker 1>The World Book encyclopedia person came to our house and

1:48:37.760 --> 1:48:40.479
<v Speaker 1>my dad bought it. It was like six hundred dollars,

1:48:40.479 --> 1:48:42.599
<v Speaker 1>so expensive. Can you believe that we used to buy

1:48:43.000 --> 1:48:45.640
<v Speaker 1>an encyclopedia of knowledge from someone that came to our

1:48:45.640 --> 1:48:46.200
<v Speaker 1>front door.

1:48:46.840 --> 1:48:48.160
<v Speaker 2>If you can believe it, that's going to do it.
