This is Rich on Tech, the podcast where 0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:25.599 I talk about this stuff I think you should know 0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:29.160 about in the tech world. Plus, as always I answer 0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:33.280 your tech questions. Joining me is producer Megan. Welcome to 0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:33.640 the show. 0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:34.479 Hello, how are you. 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.480 I am good. You know that I went to Sedona, Yes, Arizona. 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:41.360 Have you ever been? No, never Sdona. I just realized 0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:42.800 that rhyme Sedona. 0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:44.440 Arizona, Sedona, Arizona. 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:46.800 And I kept saying to my brother, who I went 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:49.600 with my little brother and we did like a hiking trip, 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:54.240 and I kept saying my Sedona in the sound of 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:56.560 my Sharona And he didn't get that reference. Do you 0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:56.880 know that? 0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:58.680 So I don't. 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:03.840 I'm an older thingna. Anyway, it was really nice. Highly 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:06.840 recommend that place. We went hiking for like eight hour, 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:09.959 not eight hours, seven miles. We went on another little hike. 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:11.440 We went to a vortex, which I don't know if 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.200 you've heard of these vortexes. No, but it's like five 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:17.920 places there that are identified as having like a super 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:22.240 spiritual magnetic field or something. Oh wow, I didn't really 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:24.720 feel anything, I'll be honest, but I did get a 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:26.800 little giddy while I was up there, so maybe I 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:27.760 did feel a little. 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:30.000 Something that that's really cool that makes me want to 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:31.040 go there, to be honest. 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:34.760 It is a fantastic weekend trip. Highly recommend it. It 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:37.040 is a place that's it's sort of easy to get to. 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:38.840 You have to fly to well, depending on where you're 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:40.640 coming from, but you fly into Phoenix, you drive up 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:44.360 two hours. Yeah, beautiful. It was. It reminded me a 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:46.280 little bit of Utah. It had a lot of different 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:49.560 things going on. So really cool place, Sedona, good job. 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.080 The only thing that happened is that I bought a 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:54.200 shirt that was too small for my kid, so I'm 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:55.000 gonna have to go back. 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:57.200 Good excuse. 0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:59.600 Yes, all right, let's get to some of these stories. 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.840 One of the big stories this week is Google's new 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:07.960 controls for letting you turn automatically delete things like your 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:11.160 search history are now live. You are able to actually 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.239 turn these things on. So let me explain what this is. 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:19.040 All about. Google calls them auto delete controls, and they 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:22.960 are inside the easiest way to find them is inside 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.040 the Google App. So, if you have the Google app 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.160 on either your iPhone or your Android, all you have 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:31.720 to do is open up the Google App super simple. 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.360 In the upper right hand corner. There's a little profile 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.160 picture of yourself. You've seen that. It it looks like 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:40.560 your little profile pick. You hit that and it says 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:45.000 search activity. You tap search activity and the next thing 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:49.200 you know, it says choose to delete automatically under Web 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:53.240 and app activity. Then it gives you three options. The default, 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:56.320 which has been the option forever, is keep until I 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.880 delete manually. Then the next option, which is new, is 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.960 keep for eighteen months, then delete automatically. And then the 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:07.680 next option is keep for three months, then delete automatically. 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:11.040 So why would you want to have Google automatically delete 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:13.720 your search history? Well, first off, you have to understand 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:15.520 what the search history is all about. So let's say 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:17.480 you're planning. I use the example of planning a vacation 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:21.919 in Hawaii. You research some restaurants. Clearly, Google goes into 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.000 mode of saying, oh, we know that Megan wants to 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:28.760 go to Hawaii. Let's start showing her stuff related to Hawaii. 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:33.000 Hawaii ads for airfare, Hawaii hotel deals. They know when 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:36.000 you start searching the letter h they might put Honolulu 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:38.600 at the top of the search autocomplete instead of something 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.520 else because it all goes back to the search history. 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.120 So that's why they want to keep it, because it 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:47.960 makes things easier. You type something into Google Maps an address, 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:49.880 and then the next time you go to like kind 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.480 of search for that address, it already kind of pops 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:55.160 up at the beginning at the top. Why would you 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.440 not want it? People don't want their search history. They 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:01.600 feel like their entire world is kind of up for 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:04.360 grabs on Google. They think that what they're searching is 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.080 being used by Google and selling that and of course 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:10.600 selling ads across that, which is kind of true. So personally, 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:12.320 I'm not turning this off. I like to have my 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.840 search history because two reasons. Number one, I kind of 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:16.920 like a record of everything, like I just think it's 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:20.000 better to have that for the years. The second thing 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.240 is that it does help make Google products smarter. So 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.240 if you think about it, Google always seems really smart, 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.240 and it's like, how do they know what I'm predicted 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:29.960 or that they always seem to be able to predict 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.240 everything that you want to know before you even start 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:35.279 typing it. And that's part of the magic. That's the 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:38.640 autohistory and the search history is why that magic happens. 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.320 So if you do want to change it, and everyone's different, 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.840 if you want to turn that off again, you can 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:45.640 do that. I did make a video about this, so 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.279 you can go to what's the easiest way to find that, 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.560 I guess rich on tech dot tv and just look 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:54.520 for my video on how to automatically delete your web 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:58.080 and app activity. And that's the funny thing that Google 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.920 calls it the web and app activity, which is so confusing. 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:02.120 Just say search history. 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:02.919 Yeah, it's your history. 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.440 I mean, there's more to it than just your search history. 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.560 But come on, like that's what people are really interested in, 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:10.720 right Megan? Cool? 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:16.720 All right, So our first question comes from Facebook. John 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:22.239 Weaver basically is asking about Harry Potter, the Harry Potter 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:26.520 game that came out last week, and he's concerned because 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:31.520 his older phone won't work on it, he says, so 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.160 they have to be up to date phones. The most 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:38.240 expensive phones, the ones that common people can't afford to 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:41.359 have fun with the game. He has a Samsung Galaxy 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.440 J two. He obviously doesn't want to update and get 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:46.600 a newer phone just to play the Harry Potter game. 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.680 So you know, he's just commenting on the fact that 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:51.960 it's frustrating and he wants to be able to play 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:53.960 the game, but he can't because he's an older phone. 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:57.239 So so he's saying that the new Harry Potter Wizards 0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:59.160 Unit game does not work on his phone because it's 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:06.080 a Samsung Joah, that is a basic smartphone, and he's 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:08.799 onto something, and he kind of he has a good point. 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:12.560 So we take for granted if you have an iPhone, 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:15.040 a new iPhone, if you have a new Samsung, if 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:16.960 you have one of these newer phones, you take for 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.880 granted that everything works really nicely on there. He has 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.719 what we would call a basic or a budget phone 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:26.960 without all the bells and whistles of your typical smartphone. 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:31.599 And in this case, it is proving to not be 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:35.400 so good because the Harry Potter game uses a lot 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.240 of horsepower. I even noticed I tried it on two 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:40.560 different phones. I tried it on my Samsung and then 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:42.720 the Pixel, and I noticed on the pixel it was 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:45.800 a little bit slower, Samsung a little bit faster. So 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.240 he has a valid point. And I'm guilty of this, 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.080 and I think all tech people are guilty of this, 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:52.800 but I feel like I'm guilty of it in less 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:56.760 or so of a fashion because because I'm on TV 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.680 and because the people that are generally watching me are 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:05.159 not always the enthusiast tech person. I feel like I'm 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:08.040 better connected to what the average person deals with on 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:10.840 a daily basis because of the emails I get like this, 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:15.080 Whereas if you are writing for a major tech website 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:17.880 where people go to see what the latest tech is 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:19.960 and they're interested and they're ready to buy it, that's 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:24.080 totally different than my viewer. The viewer on KTLA is 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.320 someone who's watching the news and I happen to pop 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:28.320 up and tell you about something that is in the 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.080 tech world. So I do think there's a delineation there, 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.800 and I think that tech people do take for granted 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:36.440 that everyone has the latest, greatest, and I don't take 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:40.280 that for granted because I do and I've always been 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.840 like that. I just love the latest technology. I always 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.480 want to get the latest thing, the newest software update, 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.520 the newest phone, the newest computer the day it comes out. 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.120 Not everyone's like that. I totally understand it, and I 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.520 get where he's coming from. I don't know what a 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:56.200 solution is. Ye, if he really wants to play this game, 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:57.720 that's a tough one. 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.400 Yeah, it is frustrating, especially if you're a fan and 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.760 you want to take part in like this exciting new game. 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.840 You know, but that's always been the case with a 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:09.320 lot of technology, where if you want the latest, greatest, 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:12.120 newest game something like that, you have to get the latest, 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:14.440 greatest hardware that can handle it. Yeah, that's been going 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:16.080 on for a while. But good, good point to bring 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:18.960 up there, for sure. Let me tell you about Amazon, 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.120 and I feel like we talk about Amazon so much. 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.000 I said this to you this morning. I say, I 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:27.120 feel like we're like the Amazon spokespeople, because it's there's 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.240 Amazon news at this point, almost on a regular basis, 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.720 almost on a daily basis. But I do think this 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:36.560 is interesting. They are launching something called counter So if 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:40.000 you're familiar with the concept of Amazon lockers where you 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:43.040 can get your stuff delivered personally, I've never done that 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:45.960 because I don't see the point I have a house, 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:48.160 leave my package at the house if it gets stolen, 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:48.880 so be it. 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:51.400 You have cameras, What am I gonna do? 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:55.720 Yeah? So, but I understand that there could be a 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:58.439 use case scenario for the lockers, and I also understand 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.080 that this is kind of ending upon that. So this 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:03.960 is called counter and it's just like the lockers, except 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.920 it's with people. So it's a staffed point where you 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:10.360 can get your package delivered. And specifically this is going 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.959 to be inside right aid stores, which I'm amazed at 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:17.160 Amazon being able to convince all these companies like Cohal's 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.920 and Write Aid that they're killing on one end, but 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:21.319 then they're like, hey, do you mind if we build 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.760 a little side shop inside your store? As we kind 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:28.000 of it's just like I feel like it's a pack 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:31.280 of like wild wolves chewing one end of the business up. 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:33.760 On the other end, they're like helping them run away. 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.040 Yeah, And they're trying to appeal obviously to like a 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.679 ride aid customer. Maybe it's an older person that like 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:43.120 doesn't shop on Amazon and now we'll start shopping on Amazon. 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:45.679 And maybe they're worried about their packages being stolen. Because totally, 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:47.640 to me, this is really a play for like porch 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:50.280 pirates and the way right, AID is in on it is. 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.040 They're saying, okay, well, if we have people picking up 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.080 packages in the store, what happens. You see a pack 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:57.000 of gum that you want to buy, you need a 0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:59.520 new shampoo. You go in there and you buy end 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:01.880 up spending twenty thirty bucks just because you walked in 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:04.679 to pick up your business on package. So I understand 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:07.880 how it can work out for these companies. The bottom line, 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.400 you get your stuff delivered right to write AID. When 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.440 they get it in their store, they will send you 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:15.000 a text message and then you have fourteen days to 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.440 pick it up. You've got a little QR code on 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:19.520 your phone. They scan the QR code, they give you 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:23.080 the package, and boom, you're on your lovely way. That's 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:25.400 in one hundred stores right now. They say they're going 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:28.800 to roll it out to fifteen hundred stores by the 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:29.360 end of the year. 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:30.680 That's cool. 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.360 There's a lot of stores. Yeah. I like having the options. Again, 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:36.080 I don't really want my stuff now. I will tell 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:38.040 you I also have a PO box. I get a 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:40.040 lot of tech stuff delivered that I don't want sitting 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.760 outside my house. So I do have that. So maybe 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:45.680 I you know what I'm probably coming from a different 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:48.480 angle because anything I get that's expensive, I'll have shipped 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:51.640 there anyway. So I guess that makes sense. And so 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:53.960 this is sort of a free peo box for someone. 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.080 You don't have to worry about porch pirates and you 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:57.839 get your stuff delivered for free through there. Yeah. 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:00.160 I think it's definitely a great it's a good option. 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:03.960 Good option. I saw one. One person tweeted Dave Zat's 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.920 he said that, Okay, so I've got this right. You 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.040 pick up your stuff at right A, then you return 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.599 it at Kohle's. Because those are the two things that 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.360 they're doing. So good tweet there. 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:15.480 That's nice. 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.040 Before we move on, just want to talk about Prime Day. 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:22.720 This is the extravaganza for Amazon every year where they 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:25.800 have their best deals. I will tell you last year, 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.560 I did not even spend one dime on Prime Day. 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:31.960 I thought it was kind of a you know, yeah, 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:36.000 nothing nothing too exciting for me. With that said, Amazon 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:38.400 sells a lot of stuff on Prime Day. And so 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:40.760 here's my thing for Prime Day. And since we have 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:43.800 about two weeks before Prime Day starts, here's my advice. 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:46.240 Anything that you want to buy on Amazon that's not 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:50.760 your standard, like you know, something that's you know, like 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.240 a like a pack of like for me, it would 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.480 be like a pack of snack bags for the kids, 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:58.920 right that you can buy today. Okay, anything else, like 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.560 if you're getting something for your bad you're interested in 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:05.000 a new bag, anything, go ahead, add it to your 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:08.440 Amazon shopping cart and let it sit there. And that way, 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:10.560 when Prime Day comes along, you can see if the 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.720 price changes for the things you actually want, instead of 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.040 doing what Amazon wants you to do, which is impulse 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.959 by the ten deals they put on your homepage that day. Okay, 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:20.800 that's my theory. 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:21.439 Yeah. 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:26.400 So when is Prime Day? Monday July fifteenth, starting at midnight, 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:28.240 and for the first time ever, it will run for 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:31.440 forty eight hours. Wow. I think the first year it 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:34.520 was twenty four hours. Then they did like six twenty 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.120 four plus another twelve, and now they're doing the full 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:41.600 two days, so forty eight hours July fifteenth, July sixteenth. Again, 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:45.920 Amazon says you'll find your best deals on the you 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:49.760 know a devices, the Echo. I don't want to say 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.040 the word yeah, so I don't want to activate her, 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:54.000 but if you ask her for the best deals, she'll 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:56.199 give you the best Prime Day deals, and right now 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.840 they do have a deal that's actually pretty decent. It's 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:03.360 a Tshiba HD forty three inch fire TV addition Smart 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:05.640 TV say that ten times fast for one hundred and 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:06.319 eighty dollars. 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:07.040 Oh wow. 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:08.880 And I looked and they still have them available. This 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:11.200 is the deal that's going on through June thirtieth, So 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.040 depending on when you're listening to this, it might be 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.760 gone by the time you listen. But if you need 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:20.200 a secondary TV and like a kitchen or something, one 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:22.680 hundred and eighty bucks not bad. Forty three inch forty 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:24.600 three It is not four K though. This is not 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:27.720 ok okay anyway, but still not bad. 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:28.839 Yeah, not bad at all. 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:32.600 All right. One thing I want to mention about Prime Day, 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:35.000 and I found this interesting in the USA Today article 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:38.440 I read about it, is that the number one thing 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.280 that Amazon gets out of Prime Day besides the sales 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:44.680 is new Prime members. A lot of people are signed 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:46.719 up just because of this, and by the way, they 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:50.920 have one hundred million Prime members. One hundred million people 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:54.079 are paying Amazon one hundred and twenty dollars a year for. 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:56.760 Amazons, basically ten dollars a month. 0:13:57.600 --> 0:13:59.520 If you pay monthly. It's actually more. 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:01.760 Oh, I just pay for the year. 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:04.440 Okay. So if you if you do pay monthly, which 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.320 they offer, it's you pay more. So yeah, the best 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:08.960 bet is to pay the one twenty yearly. 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:09.720 Yeah. 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:11.240 I'm not going to do the math on one hundred 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.679 million times one hundred and twenty. It's a lot. It 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:15.160 is a lot because I don't even know how many 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:16.480 zeros I need to put in there. 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:19.360 But yeah, Jeff, I'm not worried about Jeff. 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:21.960 No, Jeff's doing it, okay. 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:26.440 Okay, So this next question is from your Instagram account. 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:30.680 Twelve billion dollars. Oh wow, twelve billion dollars a year 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:32.880 in revenue just from Prime, just from Prime, just from 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:33.480 the membership. 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:38.560 Okay. So this next question is from Oscar Umana one 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.880 seventy eight. He asks, Hey, Rich, I'm in the market 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:45.960 for a new drone. Any recommendations. Will use it mostly 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.400 for family vacations. Thank you? 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:53.880 What was the name Oscar? Oscar? Okay, So my recommendation 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:57.080 if you're getting a drone is Dji. They are the 0:14:57.120 --> 0:15:00.920 market leader. They make the best stuff there. The most popular. 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:03.840 Dji is where it's at when it comes to the drones. 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:06.600 They have a couple that are really popular. They've got 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.920 little tiny drones, which are probably the ones that you want. 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:14.240 So I would say something like, let's see the spark. 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:17.680 Perhaps is a is a mini drone which is really fun. 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:18.840 That's like a tiny. 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:19.440 How much is that? 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.120 Let's see how much that is? Wow? Look at that 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:26.320 this spark that looks really cool. So that's that one is. 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:31.240 Let's see, oh, out of stock, three hundred ninety nine dollars, 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:34.360 so four hundred dollars for that drone. Then they have 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:36.320 a bunch of other ones. But I will tell you 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:39.680 my bigger advice to you is you probably don't need one. 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:44.560 Let's be honest. I mean, yeah, what I think look. 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:46.880 Cool, shots to happen amazing. 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:49.240 But how many times are you actually going to use 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.160 this for four hundred dollars? And I think that's my 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:53.560 biggest problem with all this stuff that's not your phone. 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:56.360 This is why we're seeing the phones get three lenses, 0:15:56.360 --> 0:16:00.280 four lenses, wide angle, super slow motion, hyper lapse because 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:03.520 it's in your pocket, it's charged, it's working at all times, 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.400 and it's easy to share. I've noticed personally, when I 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:08.640 shoot any sort of video on a device that's not 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.480 connected to the Internet, the video sits on there for 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:11.840 a while. 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:17.280 I'm yeah, a canon. Yeah, no, it's very true. I 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:19.840 wonder is there a drone that you can put an 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:20.520 iPhone on? 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:24.600 And like, they're probably I don't want to do that 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.720 because I just if you crash it, you lose the 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.680 drone and your iPhone. Now, they do have things like 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:33.400 the app where you can link up the app with 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.640 the drone and capture the video and share it quicker 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:40.640 that way. In my experience, I'm just saying that I 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.760 find unless you have a very specific use case for 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:46.560 this stuff, you probably don't need it. And he's saying 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:49.680 that he wants it for family vacations, which is great, 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:53.120 but how many times you actually going to do that? 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:56.360 Could you imagine if all of your family vacation video 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:58.360 was just taken on a drone, so it was just 0:16:58.360 --> 0:16:59.040 shots from. 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:01.880 From just see everything the whole time. 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:04.240 Yeah, it's kind of that would get boring. 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:08.680 So last year I told you about something called Visible. 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:12.240 This is a company that's owned by Verizon, but they 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:16.560 offer unlimited talk, text, data, and hotspot for just forty 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:18.960 dollars a month. It sounds too good to be true, 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:21.600 and I'm not saying that you can't get cell phone 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:23.640 service for forty dollars a month. But this is cell 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:28.120 phone service that's truly unlimited, and it's on Verizon's network, which, 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:32.360 in my humble opinion, offers the best network out there. 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:35.080 I know AT and T has a good network. T 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:37.880 Mobile is good in certain ways, but when you think 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:41.639 about overall, in my experience over the past ten years 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:45.320 of using cell phones, well probably more than that, I 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:50.240 feel like Verizon is really really good, and my advice 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:54.280 is anyway. So what's happening with the whole Visible thing 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:56.760 is that they are when I told you about them 0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:59.000 the first time, I said, there is one caveat to 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:01.359 the service, and that's the fact that they had a 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.720 five megabit speed cap. So if you were trying to 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:07.600 download something, you were capped at five megabits. Even if 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:10.280 the Verizon network in that area was faster than five, 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:12.080 which most of the time it is. Most of the time, 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:15.480 you're getting anywhere from twenty to eighty on your download speeds. 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:19.959 Visible would always make it just five using throttling technology. 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:24.119 So now Visible is saying, you know what, forget you 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:26.840 ever heard about that we are for a limited time 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:30.520 going to uncap the speeds, which means for forty dollars 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:34.080 a month, now you are getting Verizon's full network. Wow, 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.200 without any caps on the speed. 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:37.080 That's incredible. 0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:39.800 Now, I think you just started. When we did the 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:43.600 visible speed test, and remember we were outside. We tried YouTube, 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:46.760 we tried Facebook, we tried Snapchat. 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:50.280 I totally remember this. Yeah, and it all was the same. 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:52.480 I mean like it was fast, and it wasn't anything 0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:54.359 super noticeable, right, It wasn't like. 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:57.679 It was buffering forever and hover. So now you do 0:18:57.760 --> 0:18:59.760 get the whole speed and you get the whole network. 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:02.359 So I think this is a fantastic deal. I'm doing 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:04.320 the research to see if I should switch my wife 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:06.600 because we're on a family plan, so I need to do. 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:08.760 Here's the thing that I've noticed that's a little bit 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:10.280
