WEBVTT - Hands on with Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:13.520 Hands on with Samsung's new S twenty two lineup. Apple 0:00:13.640 --> 0:00:17.600 tackles unwanted air tag tracking, Everything old is new again. 0:00:17.680 --> 0:00:21.919 We Sports comes to the switch plus your tech questions answered. 0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:24.320 What's going on? I'm Rich Demiro and this is Rich 0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:26.759 on Tech, the podcast where I talk about the tech 0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:29.639 stuff I think you should know about. It's also the 0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:33.479 place where I answer the questions you send me. I'm 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.639 the tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:40.839 If the podcast sounds just a little different this time around, 0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:45.880 it's because I had some technical difficulties. My podcast board 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:49.120 is giving me some feedback, so rather than have you 0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:51.400 listened to that, I got a troubleshoot, see what's going on? 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:53.959 But I've already spent a couple hours doing that, so 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:55.800 I just want to get on with the podcast. So 0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:58.560 here we are in a temporary setup and we'll see 0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:03.040 if this, hopefully should sound okay. Big week this week 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:08.039 for Samsung. They finally unveiled the S twenty two lineup, 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.680 the S twenty two, Ultra, S twenty two, S twenty 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:15.480 two plus not necessarily in that order. So I've been 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:17.360 playing with the Ultra now for a couple of days 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:21.080 And this is an interesting thing because I rarely switched 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:24.520 my simcard into a phone that I'm testing. I used 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:26.280 to do it all the time. It became kind of 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:29.319 a pain, and so I stopped doing that, And with 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:31.880 this one, I decided to do it because it's been 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.320 kind of a while since I went all in on Android, 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:36.400 and I really just wanted to kind of see what 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:40.000 the experience is like. And so took my simcard out 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:43.160 of my iPhone thirteen Pro and I put it into 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:47.760 the Samsung Galaxy S twenty two Ultra. And so far, 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:52.640 it's been interesting. It's definitely it's weird because I've still 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:56.200 kept my iPhone nearby at all times, but I do 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.040 that typically with all Androids anyway. I always whatever Android 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.480 i'm testing, I always have a iPhone with me. But 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:05.720 it's been kind of weird because the texting thing is 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:09.560 definitely a thing. So being off of IY message, you know, 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:12.720 having friends say, Rich, what's going on? Why are you 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:16.280 texting me with green bubbles? It's just so like weird. 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.120 It's so like predictable that if you text someone with 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.800 from an Android, it's like immediately they say something to you. 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.200 So Apple's done a really good job of training people 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.920 to be like, what what is this green bubble? But 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.080 I'm trying to get through it and we'll see otherwise, 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:33.200 the phone is pretty good. Let me go through some 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:35.320 of the specs on this phone. So you've got three 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.680 different phones. You've got a six point one inch screen 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.040 on the S twenty two, six point six inch screen 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.440 on the S twenty two Plus, and then a six 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.880 point eight inch screen on the S twenty two Ultra. Now, 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.760 if you want the absolute best of everything, of course 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:51.959 you have to go with the S twenty two Ultra. 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.440 So the big news on the S twenty two Ultra 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.760 is the fact that it has a stylus. So, as 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.839 we know, Samsung has killed the Note line up and 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.760 this has become basically the Notes. You've got these two 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.760 lower models and then you have the upper model, which 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:08.800 used to be the Ultra. It's still the Ultra, but 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.320 now it's basically the NOE Ultra. So it's got the 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:14.880 stylus inside, which is something I think I like, but 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.520 I don't really need. I'd have to get back into 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:19.680 the swing of things of using a pen with my phone, 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.440 which is just something I'm not used to anymore. So 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:26.360 that's definitely a consideration. Fingerprint reader is super fast, the 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.600 cameras are excellent, and you've got a whole bunch of 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:33.120 different cameras on here. You've got a twelve megapixel ultra wide, 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:36.240 you've got one hundred and eight megapixel wide camera, you've 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.960 got a ten megapixel telephoto with a three time zoom. 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:42.560 Then you've got another ten megapixel telephoto with a ten 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.600 times optical zoom, and then your front facing camera is 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:49.080 a forty megapixel. And then of course the sweet spot 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.880 is really you don't want to go with the eight 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.920 megabyte or the one hundred and twenty eight megabyte based 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:57.760 storage model. Editor rich here, you know I meant to 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:01.040 say one and twenty eight gigabyte model. Well, one and 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:03.440 twenty eight megabytes would not get you very far in 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.160 this day and age, because that only comes with eight 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:08.200 gigs of RAM. You've got to jump up to that 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.680 two point fifty six to get that twelve gigs a RAM. 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.200 That's the sweet spot. And then it goes five to 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:17.200 twelve with twelve gigs, and then one terabyte with twelve gigs, 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:20.000 and then you have a five millionamp five thousand million 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:24.920 hour battery inside. So everything that I've seen on this phone. 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.799 It's just a powerhouse. It works really well, it's snappy. 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.679 Software needs a little bit of tweaking. There's some lag 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.640 here and there, but it's not a deal breaker. But overall, 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:35.760 I've been very impressed. I don't know if I can 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.320 stick with it because there's just so many things I 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.560 like about the iPhone. And it's not just the iPhone. 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.839 It's like it's the entire ecosystem that the iPhone is 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.200 a part of. Whether it's the Air Tags, whether it's 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:49.279 the Apple Watch, whether it's I Message, whether it's some 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.520 of the apps that I use on there. So it's 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.240 it's gonna be really tough. When it comes to the 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:58.000 night mode photography, Samsung made a big deal about the 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:02.640 night mode photography, and you know, it seems like the 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:06.440 night mode is definitely better on this device. Like the 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:10.920 photography at night is looking like it's brighter than the iPhone. 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:12.719 Is it always better, I don't know. I mean it 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:14.960 just looks brighter, that's for sure. So I'm gonna have 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:16.719 to test that a little bit more. The video looks 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:20.640 really nice. Prices start at eight hundred dollars for the 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:24.080 S twenty two, then you've got the S twenty two Plus, 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:27.240 which let's see how much that one is. That's nine 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:31.040 one thousand dollars. And then you've got the S twenty 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:34.360 two Ultra, which starts at twelve hundred dollars, and they're 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:37.880 gonna be available on February twenty fifth. So again, there's 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:40.160 been a lot of interest in these phones because Samsung 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.719 just continues to kind of tweak and evolve, and it 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:44.560 seems like they're doing a really good job with that. 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.960 So I've seen much more interest in these phones than 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:50.640 I have any previous Samsung models, So I guess I 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:53.200 guess they're doing a pretty good thing. All right, let's 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:57.480 get to our first question of the podcast. Lisa, Hey Rich, 0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.760 I'm wondering if you can give me a recommendation on security. 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:02.560 Is it better to go through an agency or do 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:06.599 ring or one of those systems. Lisa, you know you're 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:10.040 talking to a tech guy that is looking at disruption 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:16.960 of all industries, and the companies like ADT I personally 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:21.440 just would not use because it's an old school company. Now, 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:23.640 I'm sure ADT does some really good things, but the 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:27.640 reality is their entire business is getting into a really 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:32.960 long contract that's very expensive, giving you the hardware at 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.040 a loss and then making it up on the back 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.280 end with an extremely long contract that costs a lot 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:41.680 of money. Whereas system like RING or Simply Safe or 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:45.960 any of these other DIY systems, you purchase the equipment 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:48.560 and then they make a reasonable amount of money on 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:52.159 you over the years. So personally, if I was to 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:54.440 go with one today, I would go with Ring. I 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:57.960 think that they're doing the best job of you know, 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.480 the different hardware they have, the different software they have, 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:03.760 they continue to push the envelope. They just came out 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:06.040 with the glass break sensor, so I think they are 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:10.480 overall the best system that you can get. Otherwise, I'd 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.760 say my second favorite system is probably Simply Safe, just 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:16.080 based on the fact that it does what you need. 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:19.240 It's simple, like they said, simply Safe. Although they are 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:22.040 raising the price by three dollars a month to twenty 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.680 eight dollars a month, I think they have a cheaper 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:26.960 plan that you can go with. But I would with 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:30.160 today's day and age, with all the software, bells and 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.440 whistles you want, you probably don't want the cheaper plan there. 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.760 But that would be my recommendation. So personally, I've been 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:39.080 looking to upgrade my ring system to do kind of everything. 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:41.160 I just haven't had a chance to do that, but 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.680 that's kind of on my list of things to do, 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:48.120 so that's what I would go with. All right. We 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:51.840 talked about air tags and unwanted tracking, and I actually 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.200 did a story about this on KTLA a while back. 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.280 And I'm not going to say it's because of my story, 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:01.000 but Apple definitely is a being the ante when it 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:04.720 comes to air tags and unwanted tracking. So couple things 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:08.920 that Apple is doing. Number one, working with law enforcement. 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.280 They say that, you know, these things are rare. These 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.760 are Yes, we're seeing them in the news all the time. 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:16.120 But it's a sexy story, right. I mean, you know, 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:18.440 you pop an air tag on someone, you can track them. 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.200 You pop it on a car, you can steal it, 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:22.960 you pop it on anything, and you can watch where 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:25.840 that thing goes. And yeah, it probably is that easy. Actually. 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:28.679 So they're saying that every air tag has a unique 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:32.079 serial number. Every serial number is paired with an Apple ID. 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.560 Could you set up an entire Apple ID with you know, 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.480 fake information? Yeah, probably if you want to be re elaborate, 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:42.199 but most people are not that smart. So they probably 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:45.319 would just not realize the depth to which Apple has 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.360 your information when you set one of these things up. 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:51.479 And they're saying they are working with law enforcement to 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.959 make sure that law enforcement gets the information, and they 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:57.480 say they have successfully partnered with them on cases where 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:00.839 information used traced an air tag back to the perp 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:04.520 who was apprehended and charged. So they're doing that. The 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:06.640 other thing they're doing is a new privacy warning. When 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:08.320 you set up an air tag, it's saying, hey, look, 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:11.400 this is a crime in many places, so don't even 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:16.000 try it. They're doing unwanted I guess some people are 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:20.240 getting unwanted alerts from their AirPods, and so they're going 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:22.680 to stop doing that as they're going to say that 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.280 air tags, our AirPods have been traveling with them instead 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:30.320 of an unknown accessory. Let's see what else is interesting, Oh, 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.720 precision finding. You'll be able to use precision finding with 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:36.960 an air tag so that you can find exactly where 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.320 it is. If you have an iPhone eleven, twelve or thirteen, 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:42.520 it's going to display an alert. You know, these air 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:46.320 tags are supposed to chirp when you are coming into 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:49.760 contact with an unwanted one. So they will chirp, but 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.400 that chirp is going to now also put a notification 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:54.880 on your phone so that you can figure out where 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:58.040 this thing is easier. They're also going to tune the 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.200 air tag sound to make it loud, so if you 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:04.679 are if you have one of these unwanted air tags nearby, 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:07.720 it's going to chirp louder than it did before. And 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:10.840 Apple says they are going to kind of revisit the 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:16.160 algorithm that that tells you when one of these unwanted 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:18.719 tags is near you. So the old one used to 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.920 be between eight and twenty I don't know. It just 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.640 was a random amount of time that if an air 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.880 tag was traveling with you, Apple would notify you at 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:31.360 some point, but that time was not necessarily etched in stone. 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:33.719 So now they're going to use a better algorithm to 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:36.160 kind of notify people earlier that one of these things 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.200 is traveling with them. So you know, this has been 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.160 in the news a lot. Apple is kind of tackling 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:44.240 it head on. And air tags are amazing, Let's be honest. 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:46.200 Ninety nine point nine percent of people are using them 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:49.240 for really awesome stuff. Like me, I've got them on 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:53.320 my keys, I've got them, you know, in my backpacks, 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:57.320 some my luggage, and it's amazing. And so that is 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:01.320 the ninety nine percent scenario. Yes, there are some people 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:04.280 out there that are using them for bad reasons, and 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:07.080 hopefully some of these changes will will kind of cut 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:11.320 down on some of those problems, all right. Mark says, Hey, Rich, 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.560 I saw your episode on New Televisions this year, and 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:16.240 you mentioned it's not worth getting an AK television due 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:18.959 to limited broadcasting in this format, so much that there 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:22.320 is none. However, I've owned in a Samsung eighty two 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:25.000 inch Q nine hundred R for two years. It's the 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:28.000 best TV and reception I have ever seen. Even though 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.640 even so, I told Direct TV to cancel my four 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:33.959 K subscription because I cannot tell any difference between their 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.959 four K broadcasting and what I could see on regular channels. 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:40.120 On the eight K set with twice as many pixels 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.520 as a four K set, the reception seems so much 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:45.560 clearer and brighter that it appears to be broadcasting in 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.040 four K without the use of four K specific channels. 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:54.560 Regard Mark in Houston, Texas. Mark, You know what, here's 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:56.560 the thing with all this stuff, I think it really 0:11:56.600 --> 0:12:00.079 comes down to your eyes, what you like and how 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:01.840 it looks to you. So, for instance, I have a 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:05.240 four K set. I pay for Netflix in four K, 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:08.640 and I will tell you I cannot tell the difference 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:14.160 between Netflix and four K and HD. Now maybe the 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.640 maybe I don't. I just don't know what to say 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:18.920 about it because it's one of these things where, yeah, 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:21.440 I'm sure there are use cases where if you're watching 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:25.040 a four K football game, it probably looks amazing. But 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:29.040 if you're watching, you know, a ten ADP football game, 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:31.360 does it look that much better in four K? I 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:33.960 don't know. Like, let's put it this way. The super Bowl, 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.880 which is the biggest event, is happening this weekend that 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:40.280 is not being broadcast in four K. Clearly the NFL 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:44.640 has done their homework and they're saying, yeah, if people 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.320 don't really care, people don't really notice. It's not that noticeable. 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:49.920 So I think it probably would be with four K 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.640 with the with the big game. But you know, nobody's 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.320 broadcasting in four K. I mean it's very very limited. 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:58.480 If you look at any of the you know, major 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:01.199 cable services, I don't think there's any four K channels 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:03.600 on any of them. So, yes, Direct TV had like 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.240 one or two four K channels. One was just playing 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:08.120 a whole bunch of nature stuff last I checked. The 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:11.600 other one is doing sports events. But it's one of 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.920 these things where if you're on YouTube it's four K, 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.480 you know, it definitely looks good. Is it the best 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:20.360 like thing in the world. I don't know. I mean, 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:23.400 it's just one of these kind of Yes, it looks 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:25.600 better at the end of the day. But if everything 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.160 is all aligned, right, if all the stars are aligned, 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:33.200 the transmission is in four K or AK, your cables 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.920 are all good, your TV is tuned, and it looks great. 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.080 But the reality is most of us are just watching 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:42.080 random stuff. And I've even you know, you go into 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:44.440 I guess the best example is you go into any 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:47.679 car dealership in America or doctor's office, and the TV 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:51.160 screen looks horrible every time. It's just like it's just 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:55.360 not good. But most people just don't have it set 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.800 up in a way to make it look good. I 0:13:57.840 --> 0:13:59.439 should tell a story. So I was one of the 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:02.320 first people to feature a four K TV on the 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:05.400 Today Show? And was it four K or is it 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:08.880 just HD? Actually? Sorry, this was going back just to HD, 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.200 and I remember being in the makeup room, and the 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.560 makeup people were like, you know, we're broadcasting in HD 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:17.560 now and it doesn't even look that great. And I said, well, 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:19.880 you know, you have to switch inputs to the HD input. 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.560 We and I helped them switch inputs and it was 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:26.880 like whoa, oh, actually that looks really good. So and 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:28.640 this happened at a Super Bowl party a couple of 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:30.720 years back with a friend of mine. I said, you know, 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.040 your TV is not even an HD. He's like, no, 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:35.120 yes it is. And I said, no, you really got 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:36.720 to switch a couple of these things on it. And 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:39.280 we went to the HDMI and sure enough, it was 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:42.080 like one of those minutes where wow, you just realize 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:45.120 this looks really good. So anyway, I think that's what's 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:47.080 happening with AK and four K. It's just there's so 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:50.040 many variables, but when you have everything lined up, yeah, 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:52.640 AK probably does look pretty good. I'm sure your TV 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:56.120 looks great because it's up sampling these things or upscaling, 0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:00.320 and so yeah, if it works for you, I think 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:03.600 that's really all that matters. All right, Remember we Sports 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:07.400 that was one of the best games ever. It was 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:11.240 just such an exciting time for Actually this was one 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.080 of the other things I did on the Today Show. 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:14.720 I was one of the first people to show off 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:20.080 the Nintendo we and I'll never forget I bowled on 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.440 live TV and I got a strike, which I just 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:27.320 could not believe and it was just so great to 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:30.320 do that, and so it was really fun. But anyway, 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:33.080 WE Sports was really one of those games that kind 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:37.360 of just really showed off why the Wei was so 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.400 different than anything else we had ever used before. I mean, 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:42.320 we had the power Glove, we had other things that 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:45.600 were kind of you know, motion sensitive ways to play 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:49.000 video games, but the WE, not the WEU, the WE 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:52.200 just really encapsulated it with it just nailed it with 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:55.440 WE Sports. So according to this article in The Wirecutter, 0:15:55.440 --> 0:16:00.520 they sold more than eighty million copies. And when Switch 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.080 came out, they came out of a couple games that 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:07.560 were similar using the motion controllers, but nothing like WE Sports. 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:10.840 And now I'm happy to report that Nintendo Switch Sports 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:15.760 is coming along and it will have basically very similar 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:19.960 gameplay to the Wei Sports, except you'll use the Joycon controllers. 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:25.600 So they're gonna have soccer, tennis, volleyball, badminton, bowling, and more. 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.720 They're also introducing a leg strap, so you can put 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:31.800 those joycon on your leg and you can play some 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:35.280 of these games with that. It's gonna be forty dollars 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:39.240 for the game. It arrives on April twenty ninth. They're 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:42.880 also going to have online gameplay, and if you want 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:45.720 early action on that, you can try it on February 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:48.480 eighteenth through twentieth. If you're listening to this, if you're 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:51.920 a Nintendo Switch Online member, you can play out some 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:55.840 of those games. So Nintendo Switch Sports, I think, is 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:58.840 gonna be amazing. Definitely something I'm gonna play with my kids. 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.360 I mean, so bring Back Bowling is just like, I mean, 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:05.960 that was like the best game on the Wii. I 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:09.240 don't care how many games came out afterwards. We Bowling 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:11.680 was just it was one of those games that anyone 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:14.199 can play. And I don't know if you remember this, 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:16.560 but I'm sure you do. So many people were like 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:19.760 crashing their controllers into their TV screen because they were 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.480 throwing them and it was crashing in. It was like, 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:24.160 of course, a big news story. I'm sure it only 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:26.320 happened like five or six times, but it was one 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:29.119 of those things that sounded so great. So that it 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:31.040 was it was definitely a big story for that to happen. 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:35.760 So Nintendo switched Sports coming soon, definitely going to be 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:41.960 a popular game for sure, all Right. Valisa via Instagram says, 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:44.560 I'm trying to find a good photo background change app 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:47.040 for Android. Do you know one? I'm trying to change 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:50.320 the background in my picks have a great day. Yeah, 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:52.560 I do have one. And I think I mentioned this 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:57.200 on the show before, but it's called Pixar pic Art 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:02.040 And this is such a cool video editing app. It's 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:06.400 so easy, you will love it. It's not free as far 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:11.480 as I know. I think there are like some some 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:14.000 uh you know, you got to pay to upgrade some 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:16.439 of these things. Let me see what it says. I mean, 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:18.480 there might be some free options that you can use, 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:20.560 but if you really want to step it up, you 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:24.119 got to pay. But it's available for Android and iOS 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:27.960 and uh let's see. Yeah, so they've got let's see 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:35.119 a weekly five bucks, monthly twelve dollars, yearly fifty six dollars. 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:39.640 Awesome photos. I love looking in the If you go 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:42.680 to the app store page for any app, you can 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:44.639 look at what the in app purchases are and this 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:47.200 is what is brilliant about Apple is that it's so 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:50.439 transparent to see like what people charge. And so what 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:53.119 I usually do if anything's charging like a yearly fee, 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:56.400 just look and see all of their different you know, 0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:59.080 fees and see which one's the cheapest, and you know 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:01.560 you can end up getting. So what I do is 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:03.880 I always do the free trial and then they try, 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:06.639 of course to get you to subscribe. But what you 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:08.400 have to do is hold out just a little bit 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:11.000 and they will eventually email you or put an app 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:15.560 purchase notification with a better deal. So's that's a little trick. 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:20.280 So on Android, it's on Android, it's on iOS. Sorry 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:23.560 series asking me something, But it's on Android. It's on iOS, 0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:25.440 and it's a great if you're just trying to remove 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:30.240 the background, it's super easy. It is a premium feature 0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:32.760 on here. But they also have so many other features 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:36.919 as well. You can edit videos, You've got just so 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:39.600 many little features. It's you could spend all day on 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:42.840 this app. So again, it's called pix Ar pic sa 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:46.639 Art available for iOS and Android, and I think you 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:50.840 will like that app a lot. All right, So you 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:53.639 know that I've been driving the Tesla, I drove it 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:56.760 up to San Francisco, and so I like this story. 0:19:56.880 --> 0:20:01.240 This is Washington is going to your mark five billion 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:04.960 dollars to create a national network of EV charging stations. 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:08.720 And I know this is a government program, So say 0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:12.359 what you will about that. Tesla somehow has managed to 0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:15.080 build their charging infrastructure. I don't know if they get 0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:18.000 government funds or not. But if we're going to get 0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:20.760 these evs to be used in a big way and 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:23.760 get rid of some of this what do they call it, 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:28.160 the charging range anxiety, that's the word I'm looking for, 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:33.119 range anxiety, then we have to get these charging stations everywhere. 0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:36.080 And so this five billion dollar pot is going to 0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:40.640 hopefully get states to put these stations in along the freeway, 0:20:41.520 --> 0:20:44.359 along the interstate. That's the number one thing. And so 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:49.800 what is the stipulations of this program. Well, the stations 0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:52.080 have to be installed every fifty miles, no more than 0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:55.239 one mile off the interstate. And then the stations have 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:57.679 to have at least six hundred kilowatts of total capacity 0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:01.159 with ports for at least four that can deliver at 0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:04.680 least one hundred and fifty kilowats each. So that's that's 0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:07.000 a pretty good amount and one hundred and fifty kilowats 0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:09.439 is pretty fast. I think Tesla goes up to two fifty, 0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:12.200
