What's going on on Riche Dmiro? 0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:30.040 This is Rich on Tech, the podcast where I talk 0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:32.480 about the tech stuff I think you should know about. 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:35.279 It's also the place where I answer the questions that 0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:37.960 you send me. And I guess since you've been safe 0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:40.199 at home, you guys have been just firing up those 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:43.120 emails like crazy. My name is Rich Dmiro, tech reporter 0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:46.000 at KATLA Channel five in Los Angeles. Joining me is 0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:49.760 producer Megan, who's been safe at home more than she 0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:50.519 ever imagined. 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:51.680 What's up, Producer Megan? 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:55.080 I know it's been what three full months. 0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:59.120 When I set up this little home studio, I was like, oh, 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:02.480 week or two, and it's just keep going on and on, 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.759 and so I've gotten quite comfortable working from home. 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:06.640 I don't know about you. 0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:11.120 Yeah, I mean I feel like we just adjusted, like 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:13.560 as humans, We're just like, Okay, this is just what 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:16.720 we're doing now. But I know, you know, it would 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:19.000 be nice to separate work and home too. 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:21.720 Yeah, I think that is the biggest problem that I've 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.559 noticed is for instance, when I'm doing you know, because 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:26.640 all my interviews, a lot of them are by Skype, 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:30.080 and I'm like, oh, you know what, what's a good time. 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.440 They're like two thirty. I'm like perfect, Like what does 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:32.880 it matter? 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:35.959 Right? Yeah? Exactly. Yeah. I feel like, if anything, it's 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:39.480 like we're working more because what else do we have 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:42.520 going on besides going to the market like once a week. 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.760 Like, I don't know about you, but I've got a 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:48.040 lot going No, I don't, I don't. 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:49.480 We don't have anymore. 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:51.920 I mean, you're getting your haircut now, I. 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.480 Am getting my haircut. We actually went on vacation, so 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:58.000 that was nice. Went to Zion. Have you ever been 0:01:58.040 --> 0:01:58.880 there in Utah? 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.520 No? No, but I want to go there. 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.680 It's beautiful, Go go go. It is awesome. 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:08.120 And we went from literally being safe at home for 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.960 you know, three whatever two three months to you know, 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:14.880 staying at a hotel and going to restaurants and all 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:17.480 this stuff, going you know, on hikes, and it was 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:19.320 most of it was I mean, it was very safe 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:23.600 what we did, but very different, you know. And yeah, 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.639 the way they're I mean, it's funny. When we left LA, 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.079 everything was still closed. Then when we got back to LA, 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:32.320 everything is open now. So I feel like we haven't 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:34.120 really been out here in LA to like a restaurant 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.280 or anything. But I guess tomorrow night I will, so 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:38.400 we'll see how that is. 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:39.519 That's exciting. 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:44.919 Yeah, And believe me, these restaurants are really very much 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.760 like cleaning the tables, like it's a process, you know, 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:50.960 it's very much. People are taking this very seriously with 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:54.400 the masks and everything. So I didn't feel unsafe at all. 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:56.400 I guess I'll know, and I have one more week 0:02:56.440 --> 0:03:00.280 to know if I actually get COVID though, So out 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.200 of the woods, I mean there's not like fourteen days 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:03.480 for like figuring it out. 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:07.320 Yeah, it's yeah, I think it's fourteen days you mean 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.760 from like your trip, like if you got it while you're. 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:11.959 Yeah, I can't say. 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:13.520 Like my wife and I keep joking, we're like, we're 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:15.960 not out of the woods yet, but we'll say so, 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:18.120 but stay safe, we are not. You know, I know 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.360 things are reopening, but it doesn't mean that it's just 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.360 like okay to go back to normal life. You still 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:26.160 have to be very much aware of what's happening, and 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.200 wear your mask when you're around other people, especially in 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:32.000 small enclosed areas. Most of the restaurants we went to 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:35.120 were outside and very far apart, like the kind of 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:37.520 what they're doing in Los Angeles where the tables they've 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.880 taken over, like the outdoor areas, And so that felt 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:45.120 pretty good. So we'll see continue to stay safe out there, folks. 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:48.160 All right, let's talk about one of the big stories 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.920 of the week, which really surprised me because we think 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:55.160 of Google Chrome as such a secure web browser, and 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.320 when you hear something like this, you realize that almost 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:02.680 anything can somehow have a problem with it. And researchers, 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:07.720 according to Reuter's, discovered that there was malicious Google Chrome extensions. 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:12.360 These extensions were installed about thirty two million times, and 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:16.800 this is all according to Awake Security. And I guess Google, 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:20.080 once they found out about this last month, removed seventy 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.880 of these malicious add ons. And I've always wondered about 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:27.039 these Google Chrome extensions because I feel like there is 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:30.360 a lot of potential for abuse because some of them, 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:32.920 when you click them, it says, hey, we're going to 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.400 look at all of your web browsing all the URLs 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:39.080 you type in. You know, all this different, all these 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:42.120 different things, and some of them need that information to 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:45.839 work properly. But you wonder what is keeping them from 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.760 just being malicious, and clearly not much, I guess. 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:50.600 So these extensions that. 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:55.280 Were problematic were supposed to warn users about questionable websites 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.880 or help them convert file formats, but instead they actually 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:02.600 took all their broads history siphon that off, and also 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.719 they could see I guess, some of their passwords and 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.800 things like that, so that's kind of scary. In fact, 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.159 these things were really going a step further. If you're 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:15.640 using them on a home computer, they would transmit information, 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:17.960 but if you're on a corporate network, it would not 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:22.040 transmit information because they knew that the corporate network security 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:25.320 might detect what they were doing. So this is pretty 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.800 nefarious if you ask me, and it makes me. You know, 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.400 I have a bunch of Chrome extensions installed, but I 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:36.039 really try to limit those to make sure that I 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.520 don't install ones that I think are pretty random. And 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:40.640 I do have a couple on there that I you know, 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:44.240 they're all from pretty big names, but some are not. Well, 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.240 I guess they're all from pretty big names that I have, 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:50.600 but you have any of these things installed, I. 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:54.680 Only use Let's see, I have Honey and Wikibi, and 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.120 I know they literally do the same thing, but I 0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.360 have those two. Those are the only ones. 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.279 We talked about Honey because I was I didn't like 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.120 Honey for a long time, and now I have it. 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:07.200 And I my wife was ordering pictures the other day 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:10.400 from Walgreens and the little Honey thing, I said, oh, 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:11.400 let me run it through Honey. 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:12.400 Let me just see, because it was. 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.919 Like thirteen bucks for these pictures she was ordering, and 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:18.080 sure enough, Honey went through and it got her six 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:21.400 dollars like fifty percent off, and I was like, oh see. 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:25.680 Yeah, no, that's nice too, especially with like pictures. I 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.960 don't know, like that's that's amazing. 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:32.839 Yeah, well it was like fifty percent, but why not. 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.560 I found for a lot of things like in fact, 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.360 I did order have you heard of Daily. 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:40.440 Harvest like the smoothies? 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:41.000 Yes? 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.000 Okay, so yeah, I was ordering those that my first 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:48.000 shipment is coming today, and I used the Honey thing 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:49.839 and it was like, okay, you got this amount off. 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:51.560 But then I was like, oh, I know someone that 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.880 actually ordered these, and so I texted them, and they 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.240 texted me back their referral code and it actually turned 0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.520 out to be better than what Honey found. So I 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:01.760 thought that, you know, you know, you got to you 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:03.799 gotta look at all angles. That's why you've got people 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:07.760 and Honey installed. You never know which one's gonna work. 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:11.040 Actually, did they get like something free for that's the 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:11.480 other thing. 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.400 They got like twenty five bucks, and then I got 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:16.040 twenty five dollars off, So that's nice. 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:17.240 Now I'll put my. 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:20.040 Referral link in the podcast notes, so if you want 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:21.840 to order Dailly Harvest, I'll. 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:22.440 Get twenty bucks. 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:25.240 Oh my gosh, that's really smart. You really should do that, 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:26.800 just tweet it all the time. 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:31.120 Yeah, I'm very excited to try those, by the way. Smart. 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:34.040 Yeah, no, they look really good. I always hear about 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:36.720 them on podcasts and I'm like, okay, that would be 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.480 really nice to just have. But it's pretty like pricey, 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:40.440 yes it is. 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.920 So it's like it's like anything else with these subscriptions. 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:44.600 The first one is really cheap, Like I think my 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.320 first order is like thirty eight dollars, and then after 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.720 that it jumps to like seventy bucks, and my wife 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:51.560 is like, that's a little pricey, and I'm doing the math. 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.280 It's still cheaper than going to like a Jamba juice, 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:58.360 but it's by having it on that automatic kind of cycle. 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:00.280 You're still spending that money no matter what, but you 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:02.240 can always pause and all that stuff like anything else. 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:04.080 But anyway, I'll let's know how it is in the 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:04.880 next podcast. 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:09.960 Yeah, okay, So this first question comes from Stacy and 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:13.440 Wally hi Rich. We are thinking about getting a newer, 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.720 up to date TV. We have a sixty inch Sony 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:20.559 and we're wondering what you recommend as a comparable TV. 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:25.400 You've always liked Sony, but would like to hear your thoughts. 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.880 Well, I'm curious why they're getting a new TV already, 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:31.200 because sixty inch Sony sounds like it'd be pretty good. 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.480 Maybe they got up many years ago, but most people 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:36.440 didn't get a sixty inch TV years ago. But anyway, 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.960 whatever your reason for getting a new TV, congratulations, that's exciting. 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.760 Here is how I rank my television sets. 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:46.120 Okay. I would say that. 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:49.280 If you want the absolute best, I think that Sony 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:53.280 is still going to give you the overall best picture 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:57.480 kind of experience combination of you know, the way it looks, 0:08:57.520 --> 0:08:59.760 the way it performs all that. I mean, Sony is Sony, 0:08:59.880 --> 0:09:02.800 right right, That's why they're the most expensive. Like, if 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:04.840 you go in the store, Sony is going to be 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.200 more expensive than all the other sets. And there's a 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:09.840 reason for that. It's because Sony is overall the best. 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:14.600 So that's number one. Number two. If you want the 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:18.400 best picture quality but at a maybe slightly lower price, 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:22.400 go with the LG O LAED TV. I think that 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.840 those are known to be the best. And I mentioned 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:26.400 this in a podcast a long time ago. My friend 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:29.320 at CET that reviews all the TVs. When I saw 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:31.520 him at CES, I was like, hey, Dave, which TV 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:33.480 do I get if I'm just buying one TV? And 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.240 he said, oh, led LG OLED. I'm like, okay, there 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:39.760 you go. So if you want that, then you have Samsung, 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:42.520 which I think is a good combination of both price 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.440 and picture, and so go with Samsung if you want 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:48.079 kind of that. Then after that we get into more 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:50.840 of the budget models, so then you have the kind. 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.440 Of the Visios of the world and the tcls of 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:53.880 the world. 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:57.600 Now, I in the last year bought a TCL and 0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:00.640 a Visio, and I will tell you. I think they're 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:03.800 both great, but I was slightly more impressed with the 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:07.960 feel of the TCL, and that's just kind of like 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.800 the whole setup process, Like the software seemed a little 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:14.520 bit slicker, the quality of the device seemed a little 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:18.240 bit better. But I think that you'll be perfectly served 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:22.199 with either. I personally have a Visio that I bought 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.880 many years ago, and I'm kind of looking to upgrade 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:28.000 my TV as well, but I don't know what I 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:30.000 go with right now, Probably that the LG. 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:30.559 Now. 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:32.560 The other thing is do you get a TV for 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.480 the smarts inside? And I always say no, do not 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:38.720 buy a TV based on the smarts unless you're going 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.840 with a TCL, which has the Roku system built in. 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.520 And I think that the Roku system is really good, 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.520 so that would be my recommendation. Don't you know, if 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.040 Sony's gonna have Android TV built in, I don't think 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:53.160 it's very good. Visio has their stuff built in. I 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:56.000 think you're gonna be better served with a platform. And 0:10:56.040 --> 0:11:00.880 those platforms right now are Apple TV, they are Roku TV, 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:04.240 and they are fireTV. Those are the three platforms that 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:07.679 developers are concentrating on. And if you have a Visio 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.520 like we saw when Disney Plus came out, it wasn't 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.640 available on Visio right away, and we see that over 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:15.840 and over with HBO Max. It's kind of like the 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:20.400 same thing, except that time HBO is playing hardball with 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:25.000 Roku and what was the other one? Roku and Fire 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:27.600 and they didn't make their app available And I still 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:29.880 think it's not available on both of those platforms, which 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:31.440 is crazy to think. 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:36.439 So that is crazy. Yeah, So if you have a platform, 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:39.000 does it automatically update itself? 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:41.600 Well, I just think that the I think that the 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:45.920 platform gets upgraded or updated regularly, and so do the apps. 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:48.160 So if you're an app developer and you look at 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:50.319 fireTV and see that it has fifty percent of the 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:54.559 market and Roku has forty percent and I'm just throwing 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:57.800 out numbers, and Apple TV has ten percent and then 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:01.800 Android TV has five percent, which apps you're gonna update first? 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.640 You're gonna put your priority in those three main platforms, right, 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:05.480 and then you'll get. 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:06.280 To the rest. 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:08.360 That's kind of my feeling, and that's why I always 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:11.040 say go with a TV, don't worry about the smarts 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.240 unless you're getting Roku. Again, Roku is kind of a 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:18.280 unique position because it's a TV type and it's also 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:22.080 a platform as well. All right, let's get into some 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:25.720 Twitter news this week. Twitter just a small piece of news. 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:28.040 Twitter now has a new feature that lets you tweet 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:31.000 your voice. You can tweet up to one hundred and 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.120 forty seconds of audio at a time, and even if 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.640 you go longer, it will just cut up your audio 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:39.760 into several tweets, so you can go longer. I don't 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:41.440 know what you're gonna say for that long. I mean, 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:43.320 I have yet to listen to one of these things 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:47.480 on Twitter. I actually listen to exactly one. But I 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:49.400 can't imagine that I'm gonna be listening to a lot 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:53.160 of tweets. Maybe I will, I don't know. But the 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:55.240 one cool thing I like about this, Megan, is that 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:59.080 when you listen to an audio tweet, you can keep 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:02.520 scrolling Twitter you're listening, So that's potentially pretty cool. I 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:05.520 can see many updates, or many, I don't know, just 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:08.520 mini updates that people listen to while they're still You know, 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.280 we're all about multitasking, right. 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.679 So you should just do one day, for one day, 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:18.160 you should just do audio tweets, just to like try it. Out. Well. 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:20.920 I think there's potential if you wanted to say, hey, 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:22.760 here's what's going on or here's what I'm doing. But 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.560 why would you do that versus video? I don't really know, 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:27.599 and I'm not doing video tweets, so why would I 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:28.360 do audio tweets? 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:28.960 I don't really know. 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.440 I think that Twitter is a platform that it's kind 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:34.280 of like Instagram. You can do the video on there 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:36.520 and people watch video, but it takes a lot for 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.199 me to stop and actually turn up the audio on Instagram, 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:42.240 and so I find that that might be the same 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:45.560 way on Twitter. We'll see right now, folks that have 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.960 this are iOS only, and it's only a small subset 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:50.240 of people that are on Twitter. 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.280 I do not have this new feature, do you? Oh? 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:55.960 I haven't even How could I find out? Just go 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.680 to Twitter and try to find an audio tweet? No? 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:01.080 You every okay, so every one can listen to them 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:03.760 right now, whether you're on Android or iOS. The only 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:06.760 people that can tweet using audio are people on iOS, 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:09.199 and only a small portion of people who have been granted. 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:12.480 Okay, So I don't, I don't. 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:13.240 I don't have it. 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:15.360 If you want to, if you have it, just try 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:17.680 to make a new tweet on iOS. Make surer app 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:21.000 is updated and it will say, you know, compose an 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:24.320 audio tweet or try an audio tweet. So I'll try 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:25.480 it once I get it for sure. 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:31.160 Okay, So this next question comes from Cindy. Hello, I 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:34.360 follow you on Facebook. You always give out good advice 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:37.680 on iPhone information. I was wondering if you have ever 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:41.960 checked out the total av app for phone security. Is 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:42.560 it legit? 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:45.640 Oh my gosh. Here here's what I think of the 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:46.680 total av app. 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:48.920 Do not know? 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:51.720 Run Run Run? 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:58.080 Okay, I've gotten so many questions about this app in 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:01.720 the past week that I don't know what they're doing, 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:04.800 but they must be blasting people all over the place. 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.160 Right let me tell you why this is such a 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:12.080 scam and such bs that I just don't even go 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:12.600 near it. 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:15.520 Okay, I don't even know, it's just okay. 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:17.680 So a couple of people have emailed me, A bunch 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:19.720 of people have emailed me about this, and a couple 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:22.920 of people have included the link that they've gotten about it, and. 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:24.960 It leads you to this website called. 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:28.360 Security savers online dot com. And when you click it, 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.080 it looks like it's a blog post about this amazing 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:35.640 new app called Total av Number one. I'm looking at 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:40.080 this website today and guess what. Scam Number one. The 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:43.320 website date of the blog post that it purports to 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:47.720 be is updated magically to today, So they just wrote 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:49.720 this today. Oh my gosh, it's up to date. 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:50.440 Well, guess what. 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:52.520 When I checked it two days ago, the blog post 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:53.680 was dated two days ago. 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:58.160 So that's number one. Scam Number two. 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.760 If you go down to the bottom of the article, 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.600 all the way down to the bottom, Security savers dot 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:09.240 com acts as an independent advertising publisher. This website is 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:13.080 formatted as an advertorial. Please aware this is an advertisement, 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:16.960 not actual news, news article, blog, or consumer protection. So 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:20.520 again number two, the whole blog is total advertisement. 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:23.800 Number three. 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:27.600 I downloaded this app and to try it out, and 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:30.040 you can't do a thing without signing up for it. 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:31.640 That is giveaway number three. 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:34.360 That give me a break, at least give me something 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:36.480 to see about this app before I actually. 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:36.880 Have to sign up. 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:40.000 And if you go to sign up, the whole thing 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:44.920 is high pressure tactics. In fact, my computer, because I 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:47.920 have some security enabled, won't even let me click the 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:52.360 link to sign up because it's totally bogus. So stay 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:56.160 away from this total av even if it's a good app, 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:59.080 the way that they're doing this and blasting people is 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:04.359 totally not nice and it's to sure, it's it's just 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:06.920 not good. And by the way, can we also talk 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:09.360 about the fact that if you're running an iPhone, there's 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:13.040 really not a v program that you need to have 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:16.240 an antivirus program on your iPhone. The way that the 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:18.639 iPhone is set up is that there is no virus 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:21.560 for the iPhone. You really can't get one. And I 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:23.280 say that, and I know people are going to challenge 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:25.560 me on that, but the reality is, there is no 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:28.560 simple way for someone to sideload an app on your 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:32.359 iPhone without you knowing. Yes, you can click a malicious 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:35.439 link on the iPhone and theoretically they could have an 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:38.520 exploit that they can figure out and somehow mess up 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:41.280 your entire phone. But ninety nine point nine percent of 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.320 the time when I get an email about someone thinking 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.439 that their iPhone is infected, it is a link that 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:50.480 they clicked that led them to a website that's totally bogus. 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:54.000 And that's that you don't need protection against that. You 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:55.760 just need to click out of the website. 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:59.879 So someone did a review of it. Like I know, 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:04.399 you're like you basically a full no is what you're saying. 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:08.240 But someone did a review on tech radar dot com 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:11.040 and I got a star and a half. 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:12.920 Okay, so that's really well. 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:13.439 There you go. 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:15.480 Yeah, there you go. 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:16.800 There you go. 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:21.080 And also when you Google something and there's really nothing 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:24.360 that shows up, it's kind of like, okay, I mean 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:28.439 it does have a PC mag total av essential antivirus. 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:30.240 So anyway, just just stay away. 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:32.359 And I don't think you need an antivirus program for 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:35.720 your iPhone, you know, you just don't you just more so, 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:38.679 I'd rather you be very aware of the things that 0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:40.879 you're clicking and the things that you're installing. But if 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:42.960 you're installing an app from the app store, chances are 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:45.080 most of the time the worst it can do is 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:48.040 get access to things like your contacts and your photos 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:50.920 that I would be more aware of, and your location. 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:54.600 So this is why Apple is introduced with iOS thirteen, 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:57.639 the ability to say only give access one time to 0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:00.399 my location or you know, use that, use that as 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:04.560 much as you can. All right, Speaking of Apple, WWDC 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:07.960 kicking off Monday, June twenty second, and this year it's 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:10.919 going to be an all virtual show, which means Megan 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:12.879 and I do not have to travel up to Kooper 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:17.280 Tino for this, nor does my photographer Luis. We get 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:21.359 to sit at home and cover this from YouTube. So 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:24.560 the event kicks off ten am. What can we expect 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:27.360
