1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,359
Speaker 1: Amazon is set to show off an AI inspired voice assistant.

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: Apple takes on Evite with a new app, the web

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: browser that wants you to take a break from the Internet.

00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: Plus your tech questions answered. What's going on. I'm rich

Speaker 1: you should know about. It's also the place where I

8
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 1: answer your questions about technology. I believe that tech should

00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: be interesting, useful, and fun. Let's open up those phone

Speaker 1: got a special guest, so stay tuned for that. Well,

24
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: I've got some news to share about this very show.

25
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: This is the last time we will be heard in

26
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: Los Angeles without also being heard in New York City.

27
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: That's right.

28
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: Starting today, we are coast to coast, and I'd like

29
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: to give you a warm welcome thank you if you're

30
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: listening on our newest station seven to ten WOAR.

31
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: In New York City.

32
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: Now, this is especially significant for me personally because I

33
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: grew up in New Jersey exit one point fifty three

34
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: for those of you wondering. And not only did I

35
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: grow up on New York City radio stations, I've long

36
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: loved every aspect of radio. In fact, you can even

37
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: see the New York City skyline from the top of

38
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: the street where I grew up. I have always loved

39
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: New York City. I still do. I will share more

40
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: about my journey throughout the show. We've been doing this

41
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: show now for two years, originating from Los Angeles, and

42
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: when I got this show, the very first question I

43
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: asked the powers that be is will I be on

44
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: in New York City? And they said no. So it

45
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: took a few years, but we made it here we

46
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: are now. You might be shocked as a new listener

47
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: and even surprised at how simple this show is. Yeah,

48
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: there's not much to it. It's just a tech show

49
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: that helps people. That's it. It's not sensational. We're not

50
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: filled with rumors and speculation. But I guarantee you it

51
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: is informative, it's consumer focused, and it is approachable with

52
00:02:54,440 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: practical advice, real reviews, helpful tips, and of course your questions.

53
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: You are the best part of this show, day in,

54
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: day out, So thank you for listening. Let's kick it

55
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: off this week with Amazon. The company announced an event

56
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: in New York City, happening on February twenty sixth, So fittingly,

57
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: I thought that was pretty cool.

58
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: The day we're on in New York City.

59
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: So my invite says, join Amazon Devices on February twenty

60
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: sixth in New York City and see what's next.

61
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 2: So I thought that was pretty interesting. According to The Verge.

62
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: Though the website The Verge, they saw that there were

63
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: five different invite styles. They all said something a little

64
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: bit different. But if you string them all together, they

65
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: spell out Alexa.

66
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: Oops, I just said it. Whoops.

67
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: Apologies, They spell out alex A in the background.

68
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: So what does that mean.

69
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: That means that we are going to see smart home devices,

70
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: the next generation of Amazon's smart home devices, and get

71
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,119
Speaker 1: a look at the next generation AI powered I'm gonna say,

72
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: alex A just to not activate all of your speakers

73
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: at home.

74
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: But here's the thing.

75
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: This is a big moment for Amazon because they were

76
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: super early to the voice assistant game, right like everyone,

77
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: when they got one of those speakers, those echo speakers

78
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: in their home. The magic of being able to just

79
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: call something up, just saying, hey, play this song, or

80
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: play this radio station, or turn on those lights or

81
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: turn off that or answer this question.

82
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 2: It was incredible.

83
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: I mean I remember, I literally remember the first time

84
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: that I heard one of these echo speakers. Not to

85
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: mention the sound, the audio quality was excellent as well.

86
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: But this was a kind of a new moment in life.

87
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: But since then, alex A has remained mostly the same.

88
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: It still answers basic questions. It's mostly used to set

89
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: timers and control smart home devices. Meanwhile, the likes of Chat,

90
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: GBT and all these other assistants have really been taken

91
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: to the next level. So Amazon needs to get this right.

92
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: They've got millions of devices in people's homes, and they're

93
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: kind of walking a fine line here. They still need

94
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: those devices, even with the new AI to work properly

95
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: and the way that people know and love. So they

96
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: still need to be able to turn on and off

97
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: the lights, but they need to have that added magic

98
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: of AI that doesn't mess all of this up.

99
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: Now.

100
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: Amazon actually first previewed the new ELECTSA there I go,

101
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: I said it again, the New Voice in twenty twenty three,

102
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: but it's been delayed and delayed and delayed ever since

103
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: then because they've been figuring out how to make this work.

104
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: Apparently it's not easy because AI has a mind of

105
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: its own and you say, hey, turn off the lights

106
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: in the backyard, it may have other things that it

107
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: wants to do. So again, it has to ride this

108
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: line of getting the core functionality right but also adding

109
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: new functionality that people are going to love. Now, there

110
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: are some rumors circulating out there that Amazon wants to

111
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: charge ten dollars a month or up to ten dollars

112
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: a month to use this new AI assistant.

113
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 2: We'll see.

114
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: So far, if history is our guide, every single AI

115
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: company has given folks a standard level of service for

116
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: free and then an added level of service for a

117
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: paid cost. So if you go on chat GBT, you

118
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: can use it as much as you want. You're getting

119
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: maybe not the best model out there, maybe you're not

120
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: getting the most usage that you can if you're paying

121
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: for chat gibt. And by the way, they're paid plans

122
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: or anywhere from twenty dollars to two hundred dollars a month.

123
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: Same thing with Claude, same thing with if you look

124
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: at Google, they've got Google Gemini. A lot of these

125
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: AI companies are still figuring out what's that nice mix

126
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: of paid and also free access. So again, February twenty sixth,

127
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: big event in New York City with Amazon. I will

128
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: be there and I will tell you all of the

129
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: updates that you need to know. In other news this week,

130
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: Apple taking on Evite. Can you believe that twenty five

131
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: years into evite they are still the king of party invites? Like,

132
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 1: when you get an invite to a party, chances are

133
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: it's arriving on Evite. And this thing looks like it

134
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: was locked in time, right, Like Evite still looks like

135
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight is calling. And that's fine because it

136
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: does what you need, right, It gets you the information.

137
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: What do you need on a party invite? The address

138
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: and the date and an RSVP yes or no. That's

139
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: about it. There's not much we need from invites. So

140
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: evite you pick your little picture, you pick your little theme.

141
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: You know, we send out our Halloween party invite, you know,

142
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: through Evite. And the thing is, everyone has their information

143
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: in evite already, so you've got your contacts in there.

144
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: It's it's simple. You just put the names in and

145
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: you send out the invite. But now Apple said, you

146
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: know what, we see an opportunity here, so they came

147
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: out with the new app this week called Apple Invites. Fittingly,

148
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: it's very simple. You enter an event title, the date

149
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: and time, the location, and that's about it, and you

150
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: send it off. Now this looks much more modern, it's

151
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: much more slick looking. Of course it's iPhone only because

152
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: it's Apple. There's even a They did some smart thing

153
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: so for instance, when you put the date and time in,

154
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: it'll put the weather for that day. So if it's

155
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: an outdoor party or whatever, some people just like to

156
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: know what the weather is going to be, like how

157
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: to dress for the party. So they've got that built in.

158
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: There's even an option to create a shared album. This

159
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: is actually pretty smart because you know, with every party

160
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: there's always that issue of how do we share the

161
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: party picks and videos with all the other guests. So

162
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: now you can just upload them to this shared album

163
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: and people will see them. So the app makes a

164
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,239
Speaker 1: lot of sense. You've already got your photos on your phone,

165
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: You've got your contacts on your phone, so it's nice

166
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: and easy to build an invite and send it through

167
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: this new app. They also did something kind of fun.

168
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: If your phone supports AI, you can use AI to

169
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: generate backgrounds for your invites, so that's kind of cool.

170
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: So it all works together, and Apple promises that this

171
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: will work with non Apple users, but we know the

172
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: process is not going to be perfect because they want

173
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 1: everyone to have an iPhone, right. So I tried sending

174
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: a link to myself and accessing it from a non

175
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: Apple device, and at first I couldn't really figure it out.

176
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: It kept like asking me to log in or verify

177
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: my address, So it seems like you have to confirm

178
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: your email address with a one time code before you

179
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: can RSVP to the invite. The other catch is that

180
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: you have to have a subscription. Yes, this is not

181
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: just anyone with an iPhone. You have to have a

182
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: subscription to iCloud Plus, which is basically if you're paying

183
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: for any sort of storage on the iPhone that will

184
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: get you access to this new app. And my pal

185
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: Jefferson Graham, he figured out that your iCloud storage cannot

186
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: be full or your invite won't go through, so that's another.

187
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 2: Little catch there. Now.

188
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: I think the app is great, it's slick, it's nice

189
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: to have an option outside of Evite, and I'm sure

190
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: many folks who have an iPhone will use this. But

191
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: Apple Invites breaks one of my general rules in life,

192
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: and that is I prefer to use apps and services

193
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: that work equally well across every platform and the two

194
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: main platforms iPhone and Android. So for me personally, I

195
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: like to download apps that work on iPhone and work

196
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: on Android.

197
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 2: I know we have this whole.

198
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: Big divide between the blue bubble and the green bubble,

199
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: and it's gotten better, but why contribute to that? Right? Like,

200
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: this app is going to be used by so many

201
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: people that have iPhones. All the Android people that get

202
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: these invitations are going to feel like, ah, I'm a

203
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: little bit left out because I'm Android. So there are alternatives.

204
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: You can use something called party full. In fact, party

205
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: full made a big, kind of a big deal about

206
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: this online because they said that app will kind of

207
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: rip them off a little bit. So party full works

208
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: with green and blue bubbles, you've got punch bowl, you've

209
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: got paperless posts, and of course if you want to

210
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: use evite you still can. All right, Coming up on

211
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: today's show, I'm gonna tell you about another app. This

212
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: is a great app. You have to download this if

213
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 1: you have a Windows PC. It's a little sluggish, a

214
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: little weird. Download this free app. I'll tell you about that,

215
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: But first it is your turn. Your calls coming up

Speaker 1: to Diana. Diana, you're on with Rich. Welcome to the show.

229
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 3: Hi Rich, thank you for taking my call.

230
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

231
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 3: The question is I'm very new to home security cams

232
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 3: and I recently bought a b Link Mini and set

233
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 3: it up, which was pretty simple, and so I guess

234
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 3: I expected it to be able to continuously stream, but

235
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 3: it seems like it streams for like five minutes and

236
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 3: then goes up and you have to keep clicking this

237
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 3: like a play button to have it stream five more minutes.

238
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 3: And I guess, So my question is I'd like to

239
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 3: have something that will just stream continuously that I don't

240
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 3: have to pay a monthly fee for. So are any

241
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 3: of the current popular home security cameras able to do that?

242
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 3: And then also I was wondering if there's any iOS

243
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 3: apps that will let you convert old iPhones into home

244
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 3: like security cameras.

245
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: Ooh there is, Oh gosh, I gotta get that. There

246
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: is a there is an app that lets you do that.

247
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: I got to find it here.

248
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 2: Let's see.

249
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: So, okay, so your first question number one, the blink cameras,

250
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 1: those are really not meant to live stream. Those are

251
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: like out of all of the security cameras. Think of

252
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: the name Blink, right, So those those were invented for

253
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: quick clips. And the whole technology behind Blink is the

254
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: battery life. And so with a couple of double A

255
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: or triple A batteries whatever those little cameras take, those

256
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: cameras can last up to like two years without changing

257
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: the batteries.

258
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 3: Oh, the cameras that I have is plug in, so

259
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 3: it's required.

260
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: Well so yeah, I mean and still but the but

261
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: the idea behind Blink has always been it is not

262
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: a live streaming camera.

263
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 2: It is a camera, okay.

264
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 3: And I'm not too concerned with recording capability or.

265
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 2: You just want to watch the camera.

266
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 3: Mainly, I'm looking for a home security that will just

267
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 3: stream continuously that I can monitor.

268
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I mean that's pretty much almost any camera

269
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: I would take a look at, Diane. I think the Diane,

270
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: I think the best one for you would be a

271
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: UFI eu f Y eu F Y. And what people

272
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: love about these cameras is that there's no monthly fees

273
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: associated with them. So and you can also have local storage,

274
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: so you can start with one. You can you know,

275
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: live stream it as much as you want, and you

276
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: can store stuff on a hard drive as well.

277
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 2: They sell that.

278
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: The other camera, if you want something that's a little

279
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: bit cheaper, is the Wysecam w y Z, Wisecam Wyze

280
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: and those are great and you can live stream those

281
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: as well. So now, some of these cameras sometimes will

282
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: have a timeout depending on the device you're looking at

283
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: them on, so it kind of depends on and also

284
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: the setup, so like some of the Ring cameras may

285
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: do that as well. But you know, I'm looking at

286
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: my wise cam right now and basically, yeah, you just

287
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: load it up and you can watch it now. There

288
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: were some limitations at one point when we were trying

289
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: to watch this through a Google Home device, But on

290
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: my on my phone right here, I can watch it

291
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: as much as I want. It's not it's not timing out.

292
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: So that's Those are the two brands I'd recommend for

293
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: that uf EU f Y and Wyse, and the Wyse

294
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: is going to be a little bit cheaper. They're known

295
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: for like pretty inexpensive cameras. Now, when it comes to

296
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: converting an old phone into a security camera, the app

297
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: that you want is called Alfred a l FR ed

298
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: Alfred Camera, and this is available for both Android and iPhone.

299
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: Now again, of course you want to you know, if

300
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: you're going to do this, you want to wipe the

301
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: phone clean, start over fresh, and then install just this

302
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: app on the phone, because you do need to leave

303
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: your phone plugged in and also on the whole time

304
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: if it's going to work that way. But this is

305
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: a popular app, it's got a lot going on. Let's

306
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: see if it's when the last time they were updated.

307
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: I always like, whenever I'm looking at an app to

308
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: see if it's a good app, you want to check

309
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: the last time it was updated. So if it was

310
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: updated in the last six months or something like that,

311
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: then great. Now this one was updated January sixteenth, twenty

312
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: twenty five, so that one's going to be great on

313
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: the androidd side, on the iPhone side January twenty third,

314
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. So again, this is the website Alfred

315
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: Alfried Dot Camera. The other thing I like to look

316
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: at is if there are any in app purchases. So

317
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: on Google they don't necessarily show you if there are

318
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: in app purchases, but if you look up the app

319
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: on the App Store and you scroll down, it will

320
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: tell you if there are any in app purchases. And

321
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Alfred it does say Alfred Premium

322
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: five ninety nine twelve months twenty nine ninety nine. So

323
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: that tells me that you'll get a free level of

324
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: usage out of this app, and then you have to

325
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: pay if you want something a little bit above and

326
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: beyond that.

327
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 2: So but yeah, this is super easy to use.

328
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: It says you can set it up in three minutes

329
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: and twenty four to seven livestream, watch the video from anywhere,

330
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: and you can change. You can convert an old iPhone

331
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: or an old Android phone into a security cam. This

332
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: great question, Diana, Thanks for kicking off the show with that.

00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:04,320

Speaker 1: show rich on Tech dot TV. You can send me

00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: an email there by hitting contact, And if you want

348
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: to follow me on social media, I am at rich

349
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: on Tech on Instagram.

350
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 2: So did you know that.

351
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: Microsoft has a free PC optimization app? I downloaded this yesterday,

352
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: and you know, if your system is running kind of

353
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: messy or sluggish or whatever you think something's going on,

354
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: download this app. It's called Microsoft PC Manager. Now, don't

355
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: just go searching on Google for that, because if you do,

356
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: it's going to lead you to one hundred different programs

357
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: that may or may not be the right one. So

358
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: the website Pcmanager dot Microsoft dot com. There's many imposters

359
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: out there, but this basically is for Windows ten and eleven.

360
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 1: It's a free utility and it offers all kinds of

361
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: built in tools to improve the performance of your computer

362
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 1: and free upspace and it's it's quite good, so you

363
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: can boost PC performance. So there's like one click to

364
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: clean up and free UPRAM and disk space. You can

365
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: manage your storage by getting rid of big files. There's

366
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: a health checkup feature so you can find and fix issues,

367
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: scan for threats on your computer, and clear out junk files.

368
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: There's a pop up management toggle so you can reduce

369
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: ads and pop ups, and then there's a whole bunch

370
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: of stuff. There's a Internet speed monitoring in the taskbar

371
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: if you want to see how fast your internet is,

372
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: and some widgets as well. But I installed this yesterday.

373
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 1: It is free, it's simple, it's easy. It comes directly

374
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: from Microsoft. And again it's called Microsoft PC Manager, So

375
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: if your computer's acting a little wonky, you got Windows

376
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: ten or Windows eleven, download this app. The alternative is

377
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: called Sea Cleaner. That's been the one over the years

378
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: that a lot of folks like I think that was

379
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: just purchased by another company. But anyway, this one's right

380
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: for Microsoft and super easy to install. So there you

381
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: have it, rich on tech dot tv if you want

382
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: to link to that. All right, let's bring on special guest.

383
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: You know, I mentioned that this is the first show

384
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: that we are broadcasting in New York City, so I

385
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: figured i'd bring on a special guest who knows the

386
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: Tri State.

387
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 2: Area well, and it is none other than my mom.

388
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show, Mom, Hi Richard, thank you.

389
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 2: My mom is the only one who calls me Richard.

390
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: By the way, after all these years, you are Jersey

391
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: born and you've lived there forever. First off, are you

392
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: excited that you can finally hear me on the airwaves

393
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: in New York City?

394
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 4: Oh?

395
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm very excited. Yes, I really am.

396
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 2: Have you told any of your friends?

397
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 5: I'm even more excited that because it was your dream.

398
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 5: But what's your question?

399
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: Have you told any of your friends? More importantly, are

400
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 1: you spreading the word?

401
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 5: Yes? Of course I did. I told a lot of

402
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 5: my friends. Of course I was bragging.

403
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, all.

404
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,479
Speaker 1: Right, so I guess typically when I call you, I

405
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: ask how your tech is doing?

406
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 2: So how is everything? Is everything working in your home?

407
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: Yeah?

408
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 5: Everything is? What once in a while my phone doesn't

409
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 5: make a sound when I get a text or something.

410
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 2: So, oh, look at the time we got to go

411
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 2: all right, Well, thank you mom for joining me. Appreciate that. No, well,

412
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 2: you know that happens.

413
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 6: That good.

414
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 5: But the good news is when I stilled an entire

415
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 5: cup of coffee on my laptop that's working.

416
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 7: Oh you know, go figure.

417
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: I've dropped coffee on my computer several times, and you

418
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: know you got to let it dry.

419
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 2: Out.

420
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: My main advice is to let it dry out. So

421
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: now here's the other thing. I know your cellular service

422
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 1: because I help you with it. It costs like fifteen

423
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: bucks a month. Does it really cost that much?

424
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 5: I don't know. I pay for the whole year, so

425
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 5: I don't really know what it costs a month.

426
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 2: But I mean, you have service that's pretty you know,

427
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 2: it's like I think it's Mint Mobile, right, isn't that

428
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 2: what it is? Yeah?

429
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: And you tell your friends that I only pay this much,

430
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: like under three hundred a year, and they don't believe you.

431
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, because they don't believe that I get everything

432
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 5: for that cost.

433
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 2: Well, you don't get everything.

434
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: I think you only had like four gigs of data,

435
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: but you know, it's still only fifteen dollars a month.

436
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 5: I've never used all the gigs.

437
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 2: I'm surprised with all that scrolling on Facebook and Instagram.

438
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 5: No, I've never used them all, so go figure. But no,

439
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 5: but I have everything. I mean, I have everything on

440
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 5: my phone. Everybody else does and it's fine.

441
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 1: Okay, here's my other question for you. Now, you were

442
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: a Netflix kling on for many years, so you were

443
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: you were in the sharing economy of your family member

444
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: mainly me and maybe some other siblings.

445
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 4: Uh.

446
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: Netflix broke that functionality. They said no more, no more sharing.

447
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: So how long did you go without Netflix?

448
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 2: And what was that like?

449
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 5: I guess I won't about how it would be a year,

450
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 5: maybe maybe more. But the weird thing is Netflix would

451
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 5: would I would get Netflix every so often for about

452
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 5: a week and then they.

453
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 3: Would take it away.

454
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 2: Wow.

455
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: Okay, so this kind of came and went, well, now

456
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 1: you have Netflix for real.

457
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 2: Do you know why?

458
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 5: Excuse me?

459
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 2: Do you know why you have Netflix for real right now?

460
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 8: Yes?

461
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 5: Because you got it for me.

462
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 2: Yes, that's right.

463
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: I finally decided that my mom was worth nine dollars

464
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 1: a month for the added account that you can add

465
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: onto Netflix. So after all these months, I felt guilty

466
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: and I said, you know what, I think. I think

467
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 1: I could swing the nine dollars a month for my

468
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: mom to have Netflix. And are you have you watched

469
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: all of Netflix yet or what? Are you making your

470
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: way through it?

471
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 5: I haven't watched all of it, No, but I mean

472

00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, first question?

481
00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: What states are in the tri state area?

482
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 5: New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut.

483
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 2: That's right? Okay, you got that right.

00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 2: Oh that's me too, okay. See, oh yeah, I.

489
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 5: Don't really like cream cheese.

490
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 7: I like butter.

491
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 2: Okay.

492
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: As a Jersey in, what do you think of Jersey Mikes?

493
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 9: Pretty good?

494
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 5: Actually, I have a gift card to Jersey Mics that

495
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 5: I won at work. I haven't used it yet because

496
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 5: I keep forgetting.

497
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 2: We'll get that sub on.

498
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 5: It's pretty good, okay.

499
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 2: Uh? And uh Bruce Springsteen or bon Jovi?

500
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 5: I was always more a bon Jovi girl.

501
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 2: That's putting it lightly. Mom.

502
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 9: Why Yeah, I.

503
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 5: Like bon Jovi better than Bruce Springsteen Okay, mainly because

504
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 5: he's he's very good looking? Can I say that?

505
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: And he Why couldn't you say that? You don't think

506
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 1: anyone's ever thought that?

507
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 10: Yeah?

508
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 5: And I preferred music more than Christein but I also

509
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 5: like Bruce Springsteen, all.

510
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 1: Right, and favorite food from down the shore. That's what

511
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: we call it. By the way, New Jersey. You go

512
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: down the shore, up the lake, down the shore into

513
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: the city. So what do you what's your favorite food

514
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: growing up?

515
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 5: My favorite food I don't know, maybe pizza and Core's

516
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 5: ice cream.

517
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: I thought you're gonna say Core's light. I was like, whoa,

518
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: mom is getting a little sloppy.

519
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 5: Now, no, that would be no, that would be a martini.

520
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 2: But oha, oh, just going straight for the hard stuff. Okay,

521
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 2: all right.

522
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 1: Any advice for me as I embark on taking on

523
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: New York City with this show.

524
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 5: Any advice I think, just be yourself because you're part Jersey,

525
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 5: you're part California, and I think you have the best

00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: Everyone's saying that, I'm just it's it's an expansion. I'm

547
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 1: staying in LA. We are just now on in New

548
00:26:58,960 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: York City.

549
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 2: So okay, just to be clear, Yeah, thank you. I

550
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 2: know I missed that.

551
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: People got a little upset. I got a bunch of emails.

552
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: So no, I'm still here. What can I help you with?

553
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 8: So?

554
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 4: I have an orb Mesh system which was not cheap,

555
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 4: about two and a half years old, and I just

556
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 4: added a new satellite to it and it does not connect.

557
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 4: I called orb Tech support and they said that I

558
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 4: need to renew this is the security subscription for three

559
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:34,479
Speaker 4: hundred and twenty nine dollars. Wow, So I did what

560
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 4: and it's not working?

561
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 2: Oh? Come on, no way, that sounds like a scam.

562
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 2: Are you sure? You dialed the right phone number.

563
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 4: Well, how did you get the number that you follow?

564
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 4: I mean they had my account, they had you know,

565
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 4: they they had access to the you know.

566
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 2: Orb app and three nine dollars for what for five years? Okay?

567
00:27:58,359 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 2: For five years? Okay?

568
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: Uh divided by five okay, sixty five dollars a year?

569
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 1: What do you get for that?

570
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 4: You get?

571
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 6: You know?

572
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 4: It's I guess that they're saying that the system doesn't

573
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 4: that MESH systems don't really work unless you actually have

574
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 4: their security package and then you get the.

575
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 2: Whole text from Now this sounds bogus. I would I

576
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 2: would request a refund.

577
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 4: Okay this, but the satellite's not working though.

578
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: Well, okay, so there's two things going on here. First off,

579
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the So is this like netgear armor?

580
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 1: Is that what is called?

581
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 4: Okay, No, it's not the armor. They said, that's something different.

582
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 2: Okay, So what what did you subscribe to?

583
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 4: They're calling it the security system that comes with it.

584
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 4: You get two years when you buy it, and they're

585
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 4: saying that it well, the whole system doesn't work unless

586
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 4: you have the security on it.

587
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: M that's that sounds very I mean number one, I

588
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: would not I would not even the fact that this

589
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: little satellite is not working and connecting. That could be

590
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: related to maybe the age of the system, like the

591
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: because you have an older system that you're connecting a

592
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: new satellite to.

593
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 4: But but it is the satellite that's made to connect

594
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 4: to that system, which they told me, you know, this

595
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 4: is the one if you buy it new, but it's

596
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 4: definitely made to connect to your satellite, your system.

597
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: Okay, well, there's no way that you need a subscription

598
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: to connect this satellite. I just I don't believe that.

599
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: I have to do some more research, but okay, I

600
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: have So I have the eurosystem, and yes, they also

601
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: sell a subscription yearly, and the subscription gives you some

602
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: added things like extra security, you know, malware and that

603
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: kind of stuff.

604
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,479
Speaker 4: Protection. It does all that. And I also do have

605
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 4: an Eero system at another place, and when I asked

606
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 4: them about it, they said, well, yeah, well the euro

607
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 4: comes with five years when you buy it, then you

608
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 4: have to add on years. You know, at that point

609
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 4: it's absolute all right, So you're saying that that's.

610
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: I'm saying that this is all This all sounds bogus

611
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: to me, Like I think they just sold you on

612
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: this subscription that you I don't think you need it, Like,

613
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, the only reason why I do the

614
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: subscription on my my ero is because it blocks ads

615
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: across the network and it gives me some parental controls

616
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: that I want for my kids.

617
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 2: So does it.

618
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 4: Give me actual you know, security?

619
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 2: It it does?

620
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it says it does. So, I mean it

621
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: probably does scan the the URLs and things. But if

622
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: you're using like a modern browser like Chrome, that's doing

623
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: that anyway. So I mean I think that you know, look,

624
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: it's one of these things. I think there's two things

625
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: going on here. Do you want to pay the three

626
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: twenty nine for the five years? I don't like the

627
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: sales tactics that they gave you, that says, And I

628
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: think you need to figure out why this this satellite

629
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: device is not connecting to the network, Like why is

630
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: it not adding it?

631
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 2: What?

632
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: What's the hold up? Like does it see it and

633
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: then it doesn't connect or does it not even see

634
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: it when you're trying to connect?

635
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 4: You know on the uh what's it called the network chart?

636
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 4: You know everything is green, that one is orange the

637
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 4: network map. And so but now they're working on it.

638
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, they guy, they do call me

639
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 4: and they have someone assigned to it from Bangalore. But

640
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 4: I was suspicious when as soon as they did the network,

641
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,479
Speaker 4: as soon as I paid, and they said that's going

642
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 4: to be it, and it didn't. And they said, well

643
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 4: it takes forty eight hours.

644
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: Oh come on, eight hours, Mark, I think I think

645
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: sold here. Did you check your credit card to see

646
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: where the charge came from?

647
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 4: Oh? Okay? And then and then the reason I'm doing

648
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 4: is because I have an R Low doorbell camera and

649
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 4: I have a house on lots of levels which is

650
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 4: having image trouble. So I figured that it was having

651
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 4: image trouble because of the distance between the R Low

652
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 4: camera and this and this satellite I have on like

653
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 4: a three or four story house.

654
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,479
Speaker 2: That's probably true. Yeah, okay.

655
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: You know when the when the ring doorbells first came out,

656
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: everyone thought they were horrible because they thought they didn't work.

657
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: But it really it's just a Wi Fi was not

658
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: ready for that level of streaming outside the house.

659
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 8: Right.

660
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: So here's what I here's what I do, Mark. I mean,

661
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: you've got a couple of things going on here. Number one,

662
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: I would check to make sure that this charge was legitimate.

663
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: It says that they saw your your account and all

664
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: that stuff. They could have been making that up. It

665
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: sounds a little suspicious to me. I'm trying to find

666
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: and this is another issue with their with their subscription.

667
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: It's like I can't even see on their website what

668
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: this subscription costs. I mean, it's like it's so hidden

669
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: that I don't even Okay, So Neckgear Armor and then

670
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: Neckgear Pro Support, so there's a there are three different

671
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: subscriptions they have here, and I'm looking at compare plans,

672
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: and even when I look at the plan, it still

673
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: doesn't tell me how much it is. So I don't

674
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: like that. That is not very transparent, and you know

675
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: I don't so I don't like that tactic. And then

676
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: the thing not working I would do. I would do

677
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: a factory. First off, here's here's the order in which

678
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: I would do things. Number One, I confirm that you

679
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: were actually talking to Orby and Neckgear and make sure

680
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: that that charge came from them, So I check your

681
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: credit card, make sure that it's a legitimate charge from

682
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: that company. Number two, look at the services that you

683
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: get for that subscription. If you feel like it's reasonable,

684
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: keep it whatever. Number three, you got to figure out

685
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: why this little satellite is not connecting to your network.

686
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: And what I would do now that you have this subscription,

687
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: I would make sure you update the software on that satellite.

688
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: If you can't do that, disconnect it, factory reset it,

689
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: update the software on your whole network, and then try

690
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: to reconnect that little satellite and hopefully it should come

691
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: back to life and be on your network. But this

692
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: whole business of your your system won't work if you're

693
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: not paying for this subscription. As far as I know,

694
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: none of the Mesh networks work that way. But of

695
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: course the way of the world right now, everything everyone

696
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: wants a subscription, and so I understand that they're trying

697
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: to sell you on that. I don't necessarily think you

698
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: need that to make this work. But thanks for the

699
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: call mark appreciate it. Eight A eight rich one O

702
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: had a good spot on free VPNs. So I know

703
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: everyone's looking for a VPN and there's a whole bunch

704
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 1: of them out there. I mean, there's so many paid

705
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: and free. But Chris Hoffman writing in this newsletter, Windows

706
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: Intelligence Newsletter said there's two that he recommends that he likes,

707
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: and he says these are two solid free VPN options.

708
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: Win Scribe wind Scribe, no speed throttling, full VPN experience,

709
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: limited to ten gigs a month, so if you just

710
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: need ten gigs, Winscribe is your is your VPN, and

711
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: then Proton. Proton VPN has no data cap, but the

712
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: free servers, he says, can be a little bit slower.

713
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: So if you're looking for a VPN for your Windows

714
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: computer or even your mobile device, these are two solid

715
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: free options, Winscribe and Proton VPN. I'll put a link

716
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: to this on the website rich on tech dot tv

717
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: And if you like Windows tips like that, Chris does

718
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: a great job and his Intelligence newsletter of highlighting that stuff.

719
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 1: I mean, do you need a VPN? You know, My

720
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: advice on the VPN typically is don't be checking your

721
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: financial and secure accounts outside of the house if you're

722
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 1: not using one, right, use a cellular connection on your

723
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: home PC if you're at a hotel something like that.

724
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 2: You know, there are times when you might want to

725
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 2: use a VPN.

Speaker 2: That's not true.

739
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,440

740
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,200

00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 2: It is going fantastic?

756
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 8: Oh good.

757
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 9: You know I said I love your show. At first,

758
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 9: I wasn't, you know, I just I've been listening to

759
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 9: Leo forever and I was like, I don't know about

760
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 9: this guy, but I really enjoyed the show.

761
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: Oh well, thank you. I've liked myself more over the

762
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: years too. I started out that way.

763
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I have a question. You know, my

764
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 9: fiance and I were getting married pretty Stone, and there

765
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 9: are two different songs I want to play walking to

766
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 9: the altar and having the bridesmaid walk to the altar,

767
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 9: and I want to the two songs. I want to

768
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 9: get like at least fifteen to thirty or fifteen to

769
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 9: thirty seconds of each song and combine them. Is there

770
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 9: a website that's free I could do that.

771
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 6: Yes.

772
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 1: Well, first off, congrats on getting married. That's exciting.

773
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 9: Oh thank you, he's lucky.

774
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 1: I like the way you think Bobo is just shaking

775
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: his head. He's like, oh that's funny. Yeah, So congratulations,

776
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,439
Speaker 1: And so you want to combine a couple songs. There's many,

777
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: many ways you can do this. There's a website that

778
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: will let you do it for free. I mean, the

779
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: free app that will let you do it is called Audacity,

780
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 1: but I'll be honest, I never even use that because

781
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: that's so complicated, even for me. So when I edit

782
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: my video, I or sorry, when I edit audio, I

783
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 1: do it all on Final Cut, which makes life a

784
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: lot easier, even though that's meant for editing video, but

785
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: it still works with audio.

786
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 2: But anyway, But the.

787
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 1: Website is audio mass dot co au d io mass

788
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: m a s S dot co. And this website you

789
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: can just drag and drop those songs in there dragon

790
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: you know, just go ahead and clip the parts that

791
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 1: you don't want. I'm just going through right now. It's

792
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 1: super super easy. It's all web based. It is like

793
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: the easiest possible thing. Even if you're a novice you

794
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,959
Speaker 1: haven't used anything with audio editing. Just look at the waveforms,

795
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: clip the parts you want, drag the other one in

796
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: and then export it and you should be good to go.

797
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 9: Oh perfect, that sounds good. I was looking at apps

798
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 9: last night. I don't want to spend fifteen dollars or

799
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 9: you know, noney.

800
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 2: No, why spend money when you don't have to?

801
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, look, there are other apps that

802
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: can do this, like do you have an iPhone or Android?

803
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 9: An iPhone?

804
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean there's so many ways you can do this.

805
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: I mean you could you can also just use a

806
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: well I guess I'm trying to think if one of

807
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: these video editing apps would also let you export into

808
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: an MP three version, which I don't know.

809
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 2: Usually they're just audio video.

810
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: But I would just use the website audiomass dot cou.

811
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: That's probably the easiest, simplest way to do it. So

812
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: I would do that. And if you if that doesn't, like,

813
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: if you need something that's more full featured, then I

814
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 1: would check out Audacity.

815
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 2: And that's completely free as well. It's open source, so

816
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 2: it open source it maybe okay, perfect that may not

817
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 2: be open source, but it's you can get it for free.

818
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 2: So okay, all right, Katie, Well, very exciting. When's the

819
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 2: big date? When's the when's the wedding? February twenty second

820
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 2: this year?

821
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 7: Yeah, this year?

822
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, my gosh, I think I have something on that day.

823
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 2: Oh my god. I'll clear everything out. It's fine, I'll

824
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 2: figure it out.

825
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, come on down.

826
00:39:58,520 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 2: All right.

827
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: Well, congratulations, have a great wedding day, and please email

828
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 1: me to let me know if that worked for you.

829
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 11: Okay, okay, thank you so much.

830
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 10: I really appreciate it.

831
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 2: All right, Thanks, have a great day.

832
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: Eighty eight rich one O one eight eight eight seven

833
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: four to two four one zero one. Skip from Aurora

834
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 1: writes in I'm looking to invest in headphones for commercial

835
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: flights and need some advice. Should I go with wired

836
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: or wireless? Also, do headphones typically come with adapters for

837
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: inflight entertainment or is that something I'd need to buy separately?

838
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: If so, what adapters do you recommend? Good question, Skip.

839
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: I do fly a decent amount, and I do have

840
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: one rule of flying, and that is I have never

841
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 1: watched a movie on the inflight entertainment ever, maybe once

842
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 1: in my entire life. But it's a rule of thumb

843
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: that I've done for so long that now I just refuse.

844
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: And I know I'm weird because of that, but I

845
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: like it because it's like one of those things where

846
00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: you start and you can never stop, like you have

847
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: to keep doing it just so I can say this forever.

848
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: But if you must watch stuff, on the seat back,

849
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: and by the way, everyone else does except for me.

850
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: You should definitely get a good pair of noise canceling headphones,

851
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 1: and most of them are wireless, but a lot of

852
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 1: them do have a wired option. But I'm gonna give

853
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 1: you a couple of things that you should know. So

854
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 1: number one, Bluetooth headphones. I would get the noise canceling

855
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: and the Bluetooth because then you can use them with

856
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: everything else, right, you can use them with your smartphone,

857
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: your computer, whatever else you want to use these headphones with.

858
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 1: That's why I get the Bluetooth instead of a standard

859
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 1: pair of wired without Bluetooth. But most of the Bluetooth

860
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 1: actually come or a lot of them come with a

861
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 1: plug that you can plug them in as well. The

862
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: thing is to know is that some of them need

863
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: to be charged to actually work with the plug in.

864
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 1: So that's something to know. Like if you just bring

865
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 1: these things on the flight and they're the batteries dead,

866
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: you may not be able to listen, So always keep

867
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: them charged and the battery lasts forever for the most part.

868
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 1: But the two brands that I like are Bows and

869
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: so of course you know it's kind of a it's

870
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: a personal preference if you if you want those, you

871
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: know which one to get. But I think that those

872
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: two are known to be the best, and you know,

873
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: I've had both over the years, and I think they're

874
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: both excellent. I think that the bows are just so comfortable.

875
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: You pay a premium form obviously, but the Sony's you

876
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 1: can often find on sale. They might be a little

877
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: bit cheaper, and you know they're both gonna be great.

878
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: The other ones that I like that I would recommend

879
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 1: as well are the son Nos Ace And this is

880
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: our first pair of headphones from Sonos, but they are excellent.

881
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 1: Right now, they're even one hundred dollars off, they're three

882
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars, so they are expensive, probably more

883
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,280
Speaker 1: than the Bow's and the Sony's, but they are really

884
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 1: comfortable and really good. And if you have a Sonos

885
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: system at home, they may work with that. So those

886
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: are my three choices for the headphones. Now, when it

887
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: comes to listening on the seatback, a lot of the

888
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 1: seatback entertainment systems still use a standard headphone jack instead

889
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: of Bluetooth. Some of the new planes do have bluetooth. Now,

890
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: I will tell you the one time I had a

891
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: plane that had the Bluetooth. I noticed there's something weird

892
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 1: about connecting AirPods to it. I don't know what it is,

893
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 1: but I notice people all the time have issues connecting

894
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,879
Speaker 1: their AirPods to it. I don't know why. Even I did,

895
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 1: I could not get my AirPods to connect. Maybe they

896
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: came out with an update that fixes that. But the

897
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: thing I would recommend is called the Airfly adapter. So

898
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 1: Airfly from a company named twelve South. I think they

899
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:31,720
Speaker 1: made their name on this Bluetooth transmitter device. It plugs

900
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: in matt It's a little tiny square box. It's tiny,

901
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 1: almost like a keychain dongle. You plug it into the

902
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: headphone jack on the seat pack, and that has a

903
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: Bluetooth transmitter that will now transmit that audio signal to

904
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: your headphone. So basically what I'm telling you is that,

905
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,720
Speaker 1: for let's see, how much is this thing thirty five

906
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:55,399
Speaker 1: to sixty bucks, you can use your headphones on any

907
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: plane no matter what.

908
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 2: And this Airfly if you get.

909
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 1: The the premium one, the Deluxe for sixty five bucks.

910
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 2: It even comes to that little adapter.

911
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes the planes have that weird like two

912
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,240
Speaker 1: prong headphone adapter. I don't know what that's all about,

913
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: but a lot of them do that. But that will

914
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 1: come with this Airfly as well. So again, Bose Sony

915
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,399
Speaker 1: Sons for your headphones and then the Airfly adapter, and

916
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 1: you will be a frequent flyer skip and people will

917
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 1: think you are Yeah, they'll be asking you this question

918
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: next year. So good question, Thanks for the call, Thanks

Speaker 1: and if you hit the magnifying glass, that will actually

926
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,399
Speaker 1: take you to a search function, which is really good.

927
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: If you can just remember one thing I said on

928
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: the show, type in that term and I'm telling you.

929
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,839
Speaker 2: It will come up. It's really really good. No surprise here.

930
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 1: Security flaws found in deep Seek in their iOS app

931
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 1: now Secure, the mobile security firm found multiple critical security

932
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: and privacy vulnerabilities deep Seek. If you remember, is that

933
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: startup AI out of China. This was the top downloaded

934
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 1: app on both iPhone and Android millions of downloads. So

935
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,799
Speaker 1: this came out about January twenty fifth, and you know,

936
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 1: people were trying it out seeing how it was compared

937
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 1: against chat GPT. I downloaded it, but you know, I

938
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: just did it mostly to test it out. I'm not

939
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: switching to deep Seek. I mostly wanted to see what

940
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:37,280
Speaker 1: they were doing. But the findings from this now secure

941
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:41,720
Speaker 1: mobile firm include unencrypted data transmission that means they're sending

942
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,359
Speaker 1: whatever you write into this thing over the Internet without

943
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: encrypting it, weak encryption and other places insecure storage of

944
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 1: usernames and passwords, and extensive data collections. Some of the

945
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: data even went to byte Dance, which you know they

946
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: are the ones that own TikTok. So we knew that

947
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 1: this was going to be a problem with this app

948
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 1: deep Seek. I don't think necessarily they are an nefarious app.

949
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: But again, they put this thing together pretty quickly and

950
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: a lot of people started using it because wow, it's

951
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: the new thing, and how did they do this for

952
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 1: so cheap.

953
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 2: Well, now we know they probably cut a few corners,

954
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 2: So just.

955
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: Be aware if you're gonna use deep seek on your

956
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: phone that you know there could be some data leaks

Speaker 2: Adam, You're on with rich.

979
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 6: Hi, Rich Thanks for taking my call.

980
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 7: I had a question about a flash drive. I use

981
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:41,839
Speaker 7: different flash drives for different reasons, usually because some because.

982
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: Of my work.

983
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 7: So if I have a client files, then I'm moving

984
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 7: from my home computer where I work from home to

985
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 7: a laptop if I'm on the road or whatever. I

986
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,319
Speaker 7: use that flash drive for that client's file that I

987
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 7: work with. And so I have different flash drives that

988
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 7: I use, but one of my main one that I

989
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 7: used was to back up my old computer that died

990
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 7: a couple of years ago, and I took it to

991
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 7: Best Buy and they recovered the hard drive, but they

992
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 7: couldn't repair it. They put the hard drive, the contents

993
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 7: of that hard drive on the old computer onto a

994
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 7: flash drive, a PNY flash drive that they sold me

995
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:26,760
Speaker 7: at Best Buys.

996
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 6: So I brought it home.

997
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 7: And it's been a couple of years and I still

998
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 7: had my old files on it, but I've transferred them

999
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 7: onto my new PC. However, I noticed that just a

1000
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 7: couple of days ago, I was accessing something on that

1001
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 7: pn Y flash drive and it said a Windows error

1002
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 7: message came up that there was a problem with it,

1003
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 7: and it asked me to repair it, and so I

1004
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:57,800
Speaker 7: said yes, I clicked yes, go repair it, and it did.

1005
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 7: And I checked to see that the files were available,

1006
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 7: and they were.

1007
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:03,919
Speaker 6: But my question to you is.

1008
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 7: Should should I avoid p and Y flash drives. Should

1009
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 7: I replace it or is it good now that Windows

1010
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 7: fixed it? Or should I just get rid of it

1011
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 7: and get a new one? Are they reliable?

1012
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 6: What do you think?

1013
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 2: Pn Y is fine?

1014
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 1: I use pn Y sand Disc obviously is the other

1015
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:25,879
Speaker 1: big brand out there, but I would say yes, get

1016
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,280
Speaker 1: a new one. I would not trust this drive anymore

1017
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,760
Speaker 1: because the fact that there was some sort of corruption

1018
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: on it means that that may happen again, and the

1019
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: next time it happens, you may not be able to

1020
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 1: recover this stuff. Now it sounds like you have these

1021
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 1: files in a different place. Is that what I understood?

1022
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:47,240
Speaker 7: Yes, So it's interesting. The ones for the client files

1023
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,839
Speaker 7: that I keep on different flash drives to shuttle back

1024
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:54,240
Speaker 7: and forth. I do back them up on my PC,

1025
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 7: but I keep them on their individual flash drives depending

1026
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 7: on the client. And the funny thing is those I

1027
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 7: got from Microcenter and I've never had a problem with them.

1028
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 7: It was just the one that I had to back

1029
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 7: up my computer at best Buy and the pn Y

1030
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 7: they transfer onto my new computer. That's where I had

1031
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 7: the problem with that.

1032
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,359
Speaker 2: PNY Well that could just be a fluke. I mean,

1033
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 2: you know these things they make millions of them.

1034
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:21,839
Speaker 1: It could just be that you got a bad one,

1035
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: or you know, maybe it got jostled around. There's some

1036
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 1: sort of damage that that occurred there. But the bottom

1037
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 1: line is, you know, we're talking about a fifty dollars

1038
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 1: or less fix right to.

1039
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 2: Have peace of mind.

1040
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 1: And so I think that that's probably what I would do,

1041
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: and I think I maybe go with you know, there's

1042
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:41,720
Speaker 1: if you're going to be moving this flash drive around

1043
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 1: a lot, and most flash drives are kind of by

1044
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 1: the nature of a flash drive, there's small and portable,

1045
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 1: and people bring them around with them. I used to

1046
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:51,319
Speaker 1: keep on on my keychain. You know, I keep one

1047
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: in my bag right here.

1048
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 2: Let's see, let's see see what brand I have on

1049
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 2: mind that I keep jostling around in my bag.

1050
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,839
Speaker 1: Oh, I guess I took it off my keychain. Well,

1051
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 1: I'm glad I don't have one anymore. But I do

1052
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: have hard drive. I've got a one one terabyte sand

1053
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:07,320
Speaker 1: disc hard drive that I carry around.

1054
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 2: So I've got that.

1055
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 1: But you know the reality is, I think, Adam, I

1056
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:13,360
Speaker 1: would just get a new drive. I would go with

1057
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 1: a you know, like a sand disc. How much storage

1058
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 1: do you need on this thing like a terabyte or less,

1059
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: no much less, okay. So I mean if you're talking,

1060
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 1: you know, one hundred and twenty eight two fifty six gigs,

1061
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:28,800
Speaker 1: you we're talking thirty to forty dollars. So I would

1062
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 1: just for the peace of mind, I would just get

1063
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 1: a new one and you know, wipe that old one

1064
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 1: and just get rid of it. But that's what I

1065
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,800
Speaker 1: would do. Or you know, if you have these files

1066
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,400
Speaker 1: safe and sound somewhere and you know you want to

1067
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 1: take a little bit of a gamble on the drive,

1068
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 1: you can just continue to leave them on the drive.

1069
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:47,359
Speaker 1: But if you're using this drive day in, day out

1070
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 1: for anything, I would definitely get a new one because

1071
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 1: you just don't want to take a risk with these things.

1072
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: And when these flash drives fail, you know, they fail

1073
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 1: usually to a larger degree than some of the standard

1074
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: hard drives that were used to you might be able

1075
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: to recover some of the data. So once these things go,

1076
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 1: could put that's pretty much it. So I would just

1077
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 1: go on and go on Amazon or go to your

1078
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 1: local store and just grab something new. And micro Center

1079
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: you mentioned love that place, great great place. I was

1080
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 1: in there for a story the other day and just

1081
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: spent so much time in there because it was so cool.

1082
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:22,879
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call today, Adam, appreciate it. But yeah,

1083
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: get a new drive. That's what I would do.

1084
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 2: By the way.

1085
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 1: So, since there are some of you listening for the

1086
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:32,799

Speaker 1: plus years, most of it in Los Angeles. I actually

1089
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 1: used to work in New York City at CNET for

1090
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:47,400
Speaker 1: a bit, came out to Los Angeles and on the

1091

1098
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 1: in the Wall Street Journal. She's gonna talk about AI

1099
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:12,879
Speaker 1: and some of her favorite gadgets coming up right here

1100
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 1: on rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech.

1101
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:19,359
Speaker 1: Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you talking technology at

1102
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 1: Triple eight rich one oh one eight eight eight seven

1103
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 1: four to two four one zero one did you know

1104
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 1: that Google Maps turns twenty this year?

1105
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 2: Wow?

1106
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 1: Two decades of Google Maps now. By the way, I

1107
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:34,920
Speaker 1: know this our first day in New York City. When

1108
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: I lived in New York City, well, I lived in

1109
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: New Jersey, but I worked in New York for a

1110
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: couple of years. There was no such thing as the

1111
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 1: maps that we know and love now. So when I

1112
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,360
Speaker 1: was there, this is really dating myself. I had to

1113
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:49,360
Speaker 1: use something called like HopStop. I think you have to

1114
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: print out maps when you want to go on the

1115
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 1: subway to like figure out where you were going. Anyway,

1116
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 1: Google did a whole blog about all the most reviewed restaurants.

1117
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 1: Cats Delicatessen, Sherman's Deli, Barbecue, Terry Blacks in Austin, The

1118
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 1: Salt Lick also in Austin. Most reviewed destinations Metropolitan Museum

1119
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 1: of Art, The Getty, Philadelphia Museum of Art, National Parks,

1120
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: Grand Canyon, Yellowstone Zoos, San Diego Zoo, Smithsonian, and the

1121
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 1: Bronx Zoo. World's largest attractions Superman Statue. Oh, I gotta

1122
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 1: find out that one ball of twine that reminds me

1123
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: of that movie Rocking Chair. Most photographed parks, Central Park,

1124
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 1: Niagara Falls, Griffith Park and visitor attractions, Rockefeller Center, Statue

1125
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:40,479
Speaker 1: of Liberty, Navy Peer. Again, a lot of these things

1126
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 1: in New York. I didn't plan it that way. I

1127
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 1: just this is what Google said. But it makes sense,

1128
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: right because so many people go there anyway, Google Maps

1129
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 1: twenty if you can believe it.

1130
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 2: Let's bring on our guest. Joanna Stern is the.

1131
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 1: Excellent personal tech columnist at The Wall Street Journal, and

1132
00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:00,400
Speaker 1: I believe well I know lives in the New York area.

1133
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 2: Joanna, Welcome to the show.

1134
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:03,839
Speaker 10: Hey, how are you rich?

1135
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:04,319
Speaker 2: Good?

1136
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 4: Now?

1137
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 2: Were you born in New York, New Jersey or what?

1138
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 12: I was born in New Jersey, lived in New York

1139
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 12: for a long time, and now back in New Jersey.

1140
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 2: So I love it. So how is my home state?

1141
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 10: It's it's it. I would say it's doing great, but

1142
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:23,239
Speaker 10: it's cold. I think it's gonna be great. Tomorrow is

1143
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 10: supposed to snow.

1144
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 12: Okay, so yeah, we're gonna have some hopefully some weekend sledding.

1145
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 12: But I can't say I'm not a little jealous.

1146
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 10: Of where you live.

1147
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 1: Well, it's been raining, so it's you know, But I

1148
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,320
Speaker 1: will tell you when I sled when I was sledding.

1149
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:40,280
Speaker 1: As a kid, we sled down this hill that literally

1150
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 1: just like went right into a highway like this. Obviously,

1151
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 1: like nowadays there's probably a fence and all that stuff,

1152
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: but like when we were kids, it was just hey,

1153
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 1: there's like less rules. So but we had I love

1154
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:52,279
Speaker 1: sledding when there was a snow day. All right, So

1155
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:55,000
Speaker 1: explain first off, what you do for the Wall Street

1156
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 1: Journal if if people are not familiar, you write a

1157
00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 1: great column, but you do videos and stuff. So what's

1158
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:02,360
Speaker 1: your approach to technology?

1159
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:02,839
Speaker 2: Number one?

1160
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's about That's about right.

1161
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 12: I write a column for the Wall Street Journal, but

1162
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 12: I do not you know, my title is columnist, but

1163
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 12: I would say I spend less time writing the column

1164
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 12: and much more time out and about shooting videos and

1165
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 12: doing some fun things on video.

1166
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:21,720
Speaker 10: But my approach is really the consumer first.

1167
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:25,360
Speaker 12: That I am out there testing and talking to the companies,

1168
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 12: always advocating for the consumer, always thinking about do these

1169
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 12: these tech products work well for us?

1170
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 10: Which are the best to use?

1171
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 12: Then often sometimes you know, investigating why things don't don't

1172
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 12: work well. But that's where I enjoy this type of work.

1173
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 12: It's just we're out there, we're using these things. And

1174
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 12: the companies should give us more answers about the devices

1175
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 12: and the products we're being given to use.

1176
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 2: What about the hype of AI?

1177
00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:53,880
Speaker 1: What do you make of AI at this point, because

1178
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 1: now it's like, you know, everything is AI. I joke that,

1179
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 1: you know, if you're coming, like it used to be

1180
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 1: when you went to CES, the big consumer show, you know,

1181
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:03,359
Speaker 1: the big tech show in Las Vegas, I always joked

1182
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: that they were in the process of adding Internet to everything,

1183
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 1: including your coffee mug, which, by the way, this morning

1184
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:10,840
Speaker 1: I use an Ember mug, which does have, you know,

1185
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 1: a connection to your phone. But now I joke that

1186
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 1: everything has AI because it's just it has to. So

1187
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 1: do you think there's too much hype on AI? And

1188
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 1: do you think this is actually working for people?

1189
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 12: I think there's a ton of hype, But I do

1190
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 12: think it's one of the biggest moments we've experienced in

1191
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 12: the tech industry in a long time. And you lived

1192
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 12: through and we kind of covered it through it together.

1193
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 12: The advent of mobile and how quickly the iPhone got better,

1194
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:38,840
Speaker 12: and how quickly Samsung and all these devices got better,

1195
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 12: and how that changed the way we live.

1196
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 10: I think that is absolutely where we're heading with AI.

1197
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 12: I think, given what happened with mobile and everyone, you

1198
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 12: just jumped on that, let's make an app. I mean

1199
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 12: remember these days, the early days of apps, people are

1200
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 12: making apps. You have a lighter on your phone. I

1201
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 12: mean were there were all these.

1202
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 10: Like yeah, nonsense whatever, nonsense type of things.

1203
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:01,240
Speaker 12: I mean, that's where we are with AI, and so

1204
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 12: everyone's trying to get in, try to get a piece.

1205
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 12: But I'm writing a book right now about the impact

1206
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 12: of AI on my life for the for the next year,

1207
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 12: starting in what was starting in January, I said, I'm

1208
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 12: going to do as much of my life, as much

1209
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:18,320
Speaker 12: of the people and the products and the things I

1210
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 12: do in life, I'm going to try to figure out

1211
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:23,200
Speaker 12: where AI can replace or augment or help.

1212
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 2: Wait, what does that mean? Hold on, explain that.

1213
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 10: I know.

1214
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: Wait, like when you're going to dinner, deciding between two restaurants,

1215
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 1: you just ask AI or what sure?

1216
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:32,120
Speaker 10: I'm doing stuff like that.

1217
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 12: But I really think the deeper stuff is going to

1218
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 12: come in the places where we interact with humans and

1219
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 12: where we start to realize, wow, those humans are either

1220
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 12: going to be replaced by AI or really working deeply

1221
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 12: with AI. And one of the examples that this is

1222
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 12: my first month on the book has been all about healthcare,

1223
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,920
Speaker 12: all about doctors and the way they're using AI. I'm

1224
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 12: doing some really interesting stuff or I've seen a lot

1225
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 12: of really interesting stuff on that.

1226
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:55,920
Speaker 1: You know.

1227
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 12: I think there's a day that's going to come as

1228
00:58:57,320 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 12: we're all going to go to the doctor and we're

1229
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 12: going to realize, Okay, I'm really seeing a human, but

1230
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 12: I'm also seeing some sort of robot or some sort

1231
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:06,479
Speaker 12: of bot here. And so I'm exploring all those types

1232
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 12: of ways that A is going to infiltrate our lives.

1233
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 12: That isn't just sitting in front of a computer and

1234
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 12: talking to a chatbot.

1235
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 2: I mean it's yeah, well that's the other thing.

1236
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 1: It's like already starting with the chatbots where they're screening

1237
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 1: you right, like if you need customer service for something,

1238
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:21,480
Speaker 1: it's like, well here, they push you to the chatbot

1239
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 1: first that's AI obviously now, and then maybe it'll flick

1240
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 1: you to an actual person later on down the road.

1241
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 1: And I feel like with medicine that's going to happen too.

1242
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 1: It's like they screen you like here, put on all

1243
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 1: your stuff, like your symptoms whatever, and now the doctor

1244
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:37,160
Speaker 1: comes in with like a little bit of knowledge and

1245
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 1: baseline understanding of what's going on before they talk to

1246
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 1: you for twenty minutes.

1247
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, and.

1248
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 12: I'm like, part of this is, of course I'm seeing

1249
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:46,640
Speaker 12: human doctors this here, but every time I go to

1250
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 12: the doctor, I get test results, I'm running those through AI.

1251
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 12: Some of those those doctors are already doing that. They're

1252
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 12: using it at radiology, they're using in these places.

1253
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 10: So I'm going all in. I'm using it in that way.

1254
00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 12: I'm going to be doing transportation of course, self drive

1255
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 12: in cars, all of that education. I'm just kind of

1256
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:05,480
Speaker 12: going all in for a year to see where we're at.

1257
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 1: And you had a chance to check out the Weaimos

1258
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 1: self driving car, right, weren't you in La recently?

1259
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 2: I was you tried that? Did you try the Weaimo

1260
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 2: while you're out here?

1261
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 10: I did? I did.

1262
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 12: I spend quite a bit of time in Weimo's and

1263
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 12: I'm going out to Phoenix soon to spend even more

1264
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:22,800
Speaker 12: time in them.

1265
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 10: I mean, I should ask you, what do you think

1266
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:26,439
Speaker 10: you live around them?

1267
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:26,919
Speaker 2: Well?

1268
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 1: I live around them, but yeah, so it's interesting they

1269
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 1: don't necessarily work in my neighborhood, yet they work where

1270
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:34,800
Speaker 1: I work, and so I have taken one, but I

1271
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 1: did take it in San Francisco, and the other day

1272
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 1: I had the opportunity to take one, and I was

1273
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 1: a little bit scared.

1274
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't know if I actually want to.

1275
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 2: I think I'm just gonna drive myself. I don't know.

1276
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I but I have my car drive itself

1277
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 1: a lot. So it's it's this weird thing of it's

1278
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:53,160
Speaker 1: all software and I feel like it should be better,

1279
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure.

1280
01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 10: So I'm with you.

1281
01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 12: I think there's a lot of spectrum on this. Right,

1282
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:03,439
Speaker 12: there's the cars that drive yourself that you have either,

1283
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 12: I don't know if you have a Tesla.

1284
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:06,720
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, So look, you have.

1285
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 12: A good chunk of self driving car software and there

1286
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:11,920
Speaker 12: autonomous software, and that is probably going to work in

1287
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 12: some really good situations.

1288
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 10: And of course we could get deep into that. But

1289
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 10: then on the Waimo.

1290
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 12: Side, I think it is it is really fascinating and

1291
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:22,400
Speaker 12: it really I've been telling everyone if you have the

1292
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 12: opportunity to get in one of these, you.

1293
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:26,120
Speaker 10: Should do it.

1294
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 12: It does feel so incredibly safe, especially in these cities

1295
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 12: where these cars have been trained and have done the

1296
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 12: same roots over and over and over again. I mean,

1297
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 12: I truly feel like this was the most safe driver

1298
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 12: I've ever been with. I did say and I pieced

1299
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 12: there that it felt at times like it was like

1300
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:46,440
Speaker 12: my mom, it got a little nervous. But I think

1301
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 12: it's in a good way in the sense of like, Okay,

1302
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 12: it is cautious. It is always cautious in the intersections

1303
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 12: that will make you feel nervous, but then once you

1304
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 12: do it enough times, you're like, oh, yeah, this is

1305
01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:58,440
Speaker 12: just how it approaches an intersection.

1306
01:01:58,520 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 10: It wants to be incredibly safe.

1307
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 12: But why I asked you is I think that some

1308
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 12: of the funnier stories are about people who are living

1309
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 12: in these spaces and just like.

1310
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 10: Observing their odd behavior.

1311
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 12: I also heard a story in LA And I was

1312
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 12: in Davas a few weeks ago, and I was talking

1313
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 12: to the company Serve, the Serve robotics that have the

1314
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 12: little robots.

1315
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:18,640
Speaker 10: You've you've seen those around.

1316
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 2: Your yeah, your area, of course, the delivery robots.

1317
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 12: And I was asking him about this viral video of

1318
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 12: the way moo that hit the serve robot.

1319
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:28,240
Speaker 10: Did you see that?

1320
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 2: I did not see that, But that's funny too.

1321
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 12: Hilarious because you're like, this is the future. The robots

1322
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 12: just colliding in the streets.

1323
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:36,480
Speaker 2: That's amazing.

1324
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 10: But yeah, I mean he.

1325
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 12: Had a good explanation of why it probably happened, but yeah,

1326
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 12: you're living in the future there.

1327
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 1: In LA I'm amazed every time I see one of

1328
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:48,680
Speaker 1: those delivery robots that it's actually just working, and people

1329
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 1: most of the time respect it. I mean, I know

1330
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:54,160
Speaker 1: they've been roughed up sometimes, but I mean it's just

1331
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 1: it's like kind of sad.

1332
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 2: It's like, this is just a little robot. Okay, so

1333
01:02:57,880 --> 01:02:58,560
Speaker 2: I do to New.

1334
01:02:58,520 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 12: York and New York here, and we're not going to

1335
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 12: New York here because this is your your opening show.

1336
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 12: But you know, we've still got regular grocery carts and

1337
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 12: we're still yeah, we're.

1338
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:11,320
Speaker 10: Like nineteen ninety five. I would say, we're not so

1339
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 10: far behind.

1340
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 1: I'm wondering when, Yeah, like the self driving, if it

1341
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 1: makes it to New York City, then we know it's

1342
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 1: it's taken a it's reached a tipping point.

1343
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:19,200
Speaker 2: All right.

1344
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 1: Before we run out of time here, I do need

1345
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 1: to ask you some some Jersey and New York questions. So,

1346
01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 1: first off, ever pumped your own gas?

1347
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 10: I live. I live in New Jersey. Of course I

1348
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 10: grew up.

1349
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 12: I go to other states thinking I need to pump

1350
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:35,720
Speaker 12: my own gas.

1351
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:38,680
Speaker 1: Well, you do pump in other states and New Jersey

1352
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 1: you can't write, isn't it still illegal?

1353
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:41,600
Speaker 4: Oh?

1354
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 10: Sorry, so you're asking.

1355
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:43,160
Speaker 4: Yes.

1356
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 1: Sorry, I was like, wait a second, are you just

1357
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 1: breaking the rules here every day?

1358
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 10: I'm sorry, I've got it opposite there.

1359
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:52,479
Speaker 12: Okay, yes, have pumped my own gas, but only learned

1360
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:54,640
Speaker 12: when I went to college and went to other states.

1361
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:56,160
Speaker 2: Okay, that makes more sense.

1362
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:59,280
Speaker 1: Okay, that makes much more sense, because yeah, like I

1363
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 1: I jump out of my car when I get to

1364
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:02,280
Speaker 1: Jersey and I'm like, oh, hey, I can't do this,

1365
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:04,560
Speaker 1: but I love it. When it's freezing cold, you have

1366
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:06,959
Speaker 1: to you open your like window a tiny little slit

1367
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 1: and like slip your credit card through it, and it's

1368
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 1: like here, fill it up.

1369
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 2: Sorry okay.

1370
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 12: And I'm also thinking that when I go to other states,

1371
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 12: same situation. I'll sometimes sit there now.

1372
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 1: Waiting for someone to come to you, and it's just

1373
01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:21,960
Speaker 1: like nope, not happening, right.

1374
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 12: But also I guess it's similar to you drive an

1375
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:27,320
Speaker 12: ev now and don't spend that much time at gas stations.

1376
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 2: Yes, Times Square magical or a tourist trap.

1377
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:35,920
Speaker 10: Somewhere in between.

1378
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 12: I still like to walk through Times Square every couple

1379
01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:41,439
Speaker 12: of months to see some things that have changed. I live,

1380
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 12: I work right in Times Square, so I have to

1381
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:45,800
Speaker 12: kind of trudge through it if I sometimes need to

1382
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 12: get to the train station. But you know, it changes

1383
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 12: every so often, and when of the changes are made,

1384
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 12: it's fun to see them.

1385
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 2: And have you ever been to the top of the

1386
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 2: Empire State Building or is that just for tourists?

1387
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 7: You know what?

1388
01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 10: I never have been to the top of the Empire

1389
01:04:58,560 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 10: State Building.

1390
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:02,040
Speaker 12: I always wanted to because I grew up listening to

1391
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:02,920
Speaker 12: Z one hundred and.

1392
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:06,600
Speaker 2: I was yester. Yes, but like they.

1393
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 10: Went I remember, I think it was like fourth grade,

1394
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:10,280
Speaker 10: like my school trip. They went on one and I

1395
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:10,960
Speaker 10: was sick that day.

1396
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:12,480
Speaker 12: They went to the top of the Empire Statement and

1397
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:14,080
Speaker 12: I've never done it, so I guess I should take

1398
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 12: my kids.

1399
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 1: Okay, quick story, I'm out of time. But so when

1400
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 1: I was young, of course you one hundred from the

1404
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 1: to listen closely. They said broadcasting, not the studio. So

1405
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:35,440
Speaker 1: that's right. I that was like, oh my gosh, life lesson,

Speaker 6: Hi, good after me a long time listener. First time I'm.

1427
01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:32,920
Speaker 2: Calling you, but uh well, thank you?

1428
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:37,520
Speaker 6: Using I was using Yeah, I've been using Microsoft Word.

1429
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:39,640
Speaker 4: We're writing. Writing a letter.

1430
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:42,120
Speaker 6: Yesterday was fine. I opened up my computer this morning

1431
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 6: and now the spelling checker is in Spanish. How do

1432
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:46,600
Speaker 6: I get it back to English?

1433
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:48,800
Speaker 2: Were you writing in Spanish or English?

1434
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 12: No?

1435
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:52,600
Speaker 6: English? And it asked it starting to say all my

1436
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:55,919
Speaker 6: words in the first sentence where we're incorrect. They gave

1437
01:06:55,920 --> 01:07:00,160
Speaker 6: me some Hispanic alternatives. So then I wrote burrito and

1438
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:03,080
Speaker 6: it was correct. So figure I'm in Spanish spelling checker.

1439
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:06,040
Speaker 1: Oh okay, interesting, is burrito a Spanish? I guess it

1440
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 1: is a Spanish word.

1441
01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 6: It didn't say it was wrong.

1442
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:12,960
Speaker 2: Okay, So here's the deal.

1443
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 1: I so I actually went on my Windows computer to

1444
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 1: try to see how to set the language and my

1445
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:22,640
Speaker 1: version of Office is expired, which I'm embarrassed to say,

1446
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:25,240
Speaker 1: but I think that's pretty common with a lot of people.

1447
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:28,120
Speaker 1: It's like, oh wait a second, but I'm looking here,

1448
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:32,520
Speaker 1: and have you tried going to set the language preferences

1449
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:33,360
Speaker 1: in the options?

1450
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:33,920
Speaker 2: Have you done that?

1451
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:35,200
Speaker 6: I haven't found that.

1452
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:36,000
Speaker 2: Okay.

1453
01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 6: I just got home.

1454
01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 1: So okay, now is this a new version or an

1455
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 1: old version of Office?

1456
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:48,240
Speaker 6: It's the new three sixty five co pilot version.

1457
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:51,440
Speaker 1: Okay, so it looks like you can go into file

1458
01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:57,480
Speaker 1: options and language and this will set the authoring, proofing

1459
01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 1: and display language. So file options language and that may

1460
01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 1: be set to Spanish, so you might want to just

1461
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 1: make sure that's set to English and hopefully that should

1462
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:11,360
Speaker 1: fix it. The other thing you could do if that's

1463
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 1: not working is I would you know, close it out,

1464
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:16,160
Speaker 1: reopen it, restart it and see if that you know,

1465
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:18,240
Speaker 1: and then go into the settings and make sure that

1466
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:20,680
Speaker 1: that's set. It's odd that it would just switch by

1467
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:25,320
Speaker 1: itself without exactly yeah, without but that, but that's the best.

1468
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 1: You know, when tech does that, that's the best is

1469
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:29,439
Speaker 1: that you know, it just does things that we don't

1470
01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:36,920
Speaker 1: understand why it does it. So try that. Yeah, and

1471
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:38,479
Speaker 1: do you see what what is it saying? Does it

1472
01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 1: say it's English?

1473
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:45,280
Speaker 6: Prefer English? It says preferred English proofing initiated? Okay, the

1474
01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:47,040
Speaker 6: United States General preferred.

1475
01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:48,360
Speaker 2: Okay, there you go.

1476
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:54,439
Speaker 1: So hopefully now when you write okay, when you when

1477
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:56,320
Speaker 1: you write click a word like when it gets a

1478
01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:59,639
Speaker 1: little squigglies underneath, is it giving you suggestions in Spanish?

1479
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:03,000
Speaker 6: Arning, Yes, it's giving me Okay, now that I've done this,

1480
01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:04,000
Speaker 6: I'm going to go back to.

1481
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:11,960
Speaker 1: So here's the other thing. So okay, so if you're

1482
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:15,680
Speaker 1: I mean every all the yeah, I mean all of

1483
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:18,200
Speaker 1: the options that I'm seeing are all under this uh

1484
01:09:18,360 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 1: file options language. So the only thing I would say

1485
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:24,360
Speaker 1: is that perhaps you have you might have a global

1486
01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:27,280
Speaker 1: option on your you know Windows PC that's uh this,

1487
01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:30,160
Speaker 1: you know a similar option. So in that case, I

1488
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 1: would go into your settings and search for language and

1489
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:36,880
Speaker 1: make sure that that's set to English, and are using

1490
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:39,160
Speaker 1: this through a web browser or through your or through an.

1491
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 6: Appu through on a web on a web browser. It's

1492
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:47,040
Speaker 6: one of my one of the apps that I have

1493
01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:49,800
Speaker 6: on my I came with the computer and it just

1494
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:54,280
Speaker 6: switched me to co pilot two days ago. So maybe

1495
01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:57,640
Speaker 6: it's something new. But my options are propeller, propel and

1496
01:09:57,800 --> 01:09:59,560
Speaker 6: propeller for property.

1497
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:00,799
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.

1498
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 1: Okay, well yeah, this is quite the quite the situation here, okay.

1499
01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:09,080
Speaker 1: And even if you so, have you tried restarting and

1500
01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:10,719
Speaker 1: then setting English as your language.

1501
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:13,320
Speaker 6: It happened last night and I said forget, I'm going

1502
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:16,200
Speaker 6: back to it this morning. It's still there.

1503
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:16,960
Speaker 4: Wow.

1504
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 2: Okay, that's interesting.

1505
01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:20,400
Speaker 1: The only other thing I would check is in your

1506
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:25,559
Speaker 1: web browser there's there's a section called preferred languages. So

1507
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:27,960
Speaker 1: if you go into your settings on your web browser

1508
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:31,400
Speaker 1: settings and then search language, you should see the preferred

1509
01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:34,719
Speaker 1: languages there and that should be English. But my greater

1510
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 1: advice ron without being in front of the computer, is

1511
01:10:39,160 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 1: all like I would start at the local level and

1512
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:44,479
Speaker 1: keep working up and make sure, uh to go into

1513
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:47,839
Speaker 1: settings and just search for language and make sure everything's

1514
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:49,840
Speaker 1: set to English if that's what you want to use,

1515
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:53,160
Speaker 1: and again set it start at the browser, then you

1516
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:55,320
Speaker 1: can go up to you know, word or actually I

1517
01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:57,759
Speaker 1: would start at word and then go to the browser

1518
01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 1: and then go up to the computer at large and

1519
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:03,240
Speaker 1: just search language and make sure they're all set to English.

1520
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:04,920
Speaker 1: That's an interesting one.

1521
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:05,320

Speaker 1: upgrade before version twenty five point eight, so that's coming soon.

1556
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:04,880
Speaker 2: I guess.

1557
01:13:05,640 --> 01:13:05,760
Speaker 6: Uh.

1558
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:10,840
Speaker 1: But Libraoffice remains free and open source, and it supports

1559
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:15,640
Speaker 1: the uh ODF files and the Microsoft formats. And I

1560
01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:19,040
Speaker 1: downloaded this yesterday just to kind of try it out

1561
01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:21,800
Speaker 1: before I talked about it, and it's great. I mean,

1562
01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:24,880
Speaker 1: it just looks like Microsoft Word and Excel in the

1563
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:28,800
Speaker 1: spreadsheet program, So I mean, why not. I personally use

1564
01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:31,639
Speaker 1: Google Docs, But I understand if you're, you know, more

1565
01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:34,559
Speaker 1: privacy centric, or you don't like big tech or something

1566
01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:35,960
Speaker 1: like that, and you want to use something that's a

1567
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:39,040
Speaker 1: little bit more open source, then I would check this out.

1568
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:44,040
Speaker 1: The website is uh libra l I b R eoffice

1569
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:48,280
Speaker 1: dot org slash download and I will put that on

1570
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:51,720
Speaker 1: the website rich on tech dot TV. Meanwhile, if you

1571
01:13:52,200 --> 01:13:56,840
Speaker 1: had an iPhone seven with the loop disease, you are

1572
01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:59,800
Speaker 1: you might have gotten a payout. So I guess Apple

1573
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:02,240
Speaker 1: pay out thirty five million dollars in a class action

1574
01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:06,839
Speaker 1: settlement related to this loop disease. I guess the software

1575
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:11,920
Speaker 1: was making it. Boot Loop payments are around two hundred dollars,

1576
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:14,000
Speaker 1: so if you got like an email that said, hey,

1577
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:16,639
Speaker 1: claim your two hundred bucks or your payouts coming, like, yes,

1578
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:19,320
Speaker 1: you should do it, but you know, obviously you should

1579
01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:23,320
Speaker 1: confirm that it's legitimate because you know, whenever something like

1580
01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:26,519
Speaker 1: this happens, these other people they scam artists. They will

1581
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:28,360
Speaker 1: look at that and say, ooh, let's try to figure

1582
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:31,240
Speaker 1: out how we can scam people. So no matter what,

1583
01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:34,439
Speaker 1: let me see if I can find something on this

1584
01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:40,200
Speaker 1: iPhone loop disease. So it was oh sorry, it was

1585
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:44,799
Speaker 1: degraded audio and call quality and listening to music caused

1586
01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:47,599
Speaker 1: by users applying pressure on a certain part of the phone.

1587
01:14:47,640 --> 01:14:51,760
Speaker 1: I do not remember this when this happened, but that's interesting.

1588
01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:55,000
Speaker 1: I was a while ago iPhone seven. That was a

1589
01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:58,040
Speaker 1: real long time ago. Anyway, if you but here's the deal,

1590
01:14:58,240 --> 01:15:00,360
Speaker 1: this this is over. So you had to make that

1591
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:03,200
Speaker 1: claim a long time ago. But up to three hundred

1592
01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:04,719
Speaker 1: and forty nine dollars, that's pretty good.

1593
01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:09,760
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to uh rick in uh Let's

1594
01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:13,280
Speaker 2: see west Hill's Rick. You're on with Rich.

1595
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:16,800
Speaker 11: Hey, Rich, thank you for taking my call. So I'll

1596
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:18,760
Speaker 11: try to be quick. I just want to know if

1597
01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:22,479
Speaker 11: I should purchase more Apple storage or buy an app

1598
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:25,519
Speaker 11: to help clean up my photos or back up to

1599
01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:28,000
Speaker 11: my computer. And then the second part of the question

1600
01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:30,200
Speaker 11: is if I do back up to the computer, I

1601
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:32,519
Speaker 11: don't know how that works because it keeps adding the

1602
01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:35,360
Speaker 11: same pictures over and over again, does it? Anyway, those

1603
01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:36,280
Speaker 11: are that's the question.

1604
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:42,000
Speaker 1: Okay, So first the first question is should you tell

1605
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:42,519
Speaker 1: me them again?

1606
01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:47,240
Speaker 11: Oh, purchase more Apple storage. I purchased the fifty gig plans,

1607
01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:49,920
Speaker 11: but I've already used one hundred gigabytes, so I'm not

1608
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:52,000
Speaker 11: obviously my phone is not backing up now.

1609
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:56,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So man, I so the thing about Apple

1610
01:15:56,680 --> 01:15:59,400
Speaker 1: storage is so I'm on the I think I'm on

1611
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:04,040
Speaker 1: the five terabyte plan on Google. So I use Google Storage. Yeah,

1612
01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:06,759
Speaker 1: I've got three I've got like three terabytes of photos.

1613
01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:08,559
Speaker 1: So but you know, it's all my videos and stuff

1614
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:10,559
Speaker 1: from work. So it's like, I, you know, I'd rather

1615
01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:13,720
Speaker 1: keep it than get rid of it. But the thing is,

1616
01:16:13,760 --> 01:16:16,000
Speaker 1: so I would you could do two things. You could

1617
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:18,439
Speaker 1: either try to pare down the hundred gigs or you

1618
01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:20,760
Speaker 1: said you have one hundred gigs on your phone, but

1619
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:22,120
Speaker 1: you have fifty available to you.

1620
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:24,559
Speaker 11: Yeah, so I bought the two night I think it's

1621
01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:27,160
Speaker 11: the two ninety nine plan, So it's like fifty gigabytes

1622
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:27,559
Speaker 11: and do you.

1623
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:29,120
Speaker 2: Know how much of that? Do you know how much

1624
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:30,120
Speaker 2: of that is photos?

1625
01:16:30,360 --> 01:16:30,599
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1626
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:31,920
Speaker 11: Photos is twenty eight.

1627
01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:34,280
Speaker 1: Okay, so photos, So you're still like, even with that

1628
01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:36,439
Speaker 1: twenty eight, that's a lot. I mean, you've got that's

1629
01:16:36,479 --> 01:16:38,240
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, a lot of photos.

1630
01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:42,160
Speaker 11: So iPhone and iPhone and iPhone, so they add.

1631
01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:43,640
Speaker 2: Up, right. So there's a couple of things you could do.

1632
01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:44,440
Speaker 2: You could.

1633
01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:48,120
Speaker 1: You could try to pare down the twenty eight gigs

1634
01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:51,120
Speaker 1: to get under the fifty with your backup of your phone,

1635
01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:53,240
Speaker 1: but that's going to be really tough because you're going

1636
01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:55,400
Speaker 1: to be spending a lot of time and it's just

1637
01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:57,320
Speaker 1: going to be like, you know, you're just gonna be

1638
01:16:57,320 --> 01:16:59,280
Speaker 1: pulling your hair out. The other thing you could do

1639
01:16:59,439 --> 01:17:02,640
Speaker 1: is you could just not if money is not a problem, Like,

1640
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 1: if you're not how much is the step up to

1641
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:05,880
Speaker 1: the next sire?

1642
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:07,800
Speaker 11: I'll shoot, I knew I should have wrote that down.

1643
01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:10,160
Speaker 11: It probably like three ninety nine a month or something

1644
01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:11,120
Speaker 11: like that or something.

1645
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:11,800
Speaker 4: It's that bad.

1646
01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:14,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, So if that feels fair to you, then that's

1647
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:17,040
Speaker 1: probably the easiest solution. But what I would do in

1648
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:19,840
Speaker 1: once you upgrade to that is, I would pare down

1649
01:17:20,240 --> 01:17:22,719
Speaker 1: your camera roll, get get some of the big videos

1650
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:24,960
Speaker 1: out of there that you don't need, or duplicate pictures

1651
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. So that's the second

1652
01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:30,479
Speaker 1: thing I would do. As for offloading to your computer,

1653
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:35,840
Speaker 1: that's my least favorite option because it's the most labor intensive. Yes,

1654
01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:38,280
Speaker 1: your computer can figure out which like when you plug

1655
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:40,479
Speaker 1: your phone into your computer, let's say of a Windows computer,

1656
01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:43,439
Speaker 1: it can it can import just the new pictures or

1657
01:17:43,479 --> 01:17:45,559
Speaker 1: on a Mac it'll do this. It'll it'll figure out

1658
01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:48,479
Speaker 1: which ones it hasn't imported, so it can do that.

1659
01:17:48,960 --> 01:17:51,040
Speaker 1: But now you have to make sure that those pictures

1660
01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:53,479
Speaker 1: are backed up somehow on your computer.

1661
01:17:53,640 --> 01:17:54,479
Speaker 2: Right now.

1662
01:17:55,520 --> 01:17:57,720
Speaker 1: There is an argument there that you can say, well, rich,

1663
01:17:57,800 --> 01:18:00,519
Speaker 1: I've got my photo, I've got one copy on my phone,

1664
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:02,479
Speaker 1: and now I've got one copy on my computer, so

1665
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:05,920
Speaker 1: I'm good. And typically we would say you'd want one

1666
01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:08,640
Speaker 1: copy on your computer, one copy on your phone, and

1667
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:11,040
Speaker 1: one copy in the cloud somewhere right just to make

1668
01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:15,120
Speaker 1: sure you've got you know, everything covered. So those are

1669
01:18:15,200 --> 01:18:17,600
Speaker 1: kind of your options. What are you leaning towards? What

1670
01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:19,080
Speaker 1: do you feel like you want to do.

1671
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:21,760
Speaker 11: I'm leaning just buying that seems like the cheapest option.

1672
01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 11: But I don't know if the wife would like that.

1673
01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:25,680
Speaker 11: She just she hates to spend money on things like that.

1674
01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:28,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh that's and so it's a I totally get that.

1675
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:30,840
Speaker 1: And of course that's what Apple wants you to do, right,

1676
01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:32,760
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why they that's why Apple does not

1677
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:35,720
Speaker 1: make it easy. Like if you told me, like if

1678
01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:37,759
Speaker 1: you said, Rich, how do I find all the biggest

1679
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:39,040
Speaker 1: video files on my phone?

1680
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:41,240
Speaker 2: Right now? They don't make it easy to do that.

1681
01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:43,720
Speaker 1: Like you can't sort like on a Samsung device or

1682
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:45,920
Speaker 1: on a Google device, you could just go in and

1683
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:48,840
Speaker 1: literally sort my largest videos and just get rid of them,

1684
01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:51,160
Speaker 1: right if you say, oh, I ran my camera for

1685
01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:53,600
Speaker 1: twenty four hours and forgot about it. But like on

1686
01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:57,320
Speaker 1: the iPhone, it's really tricky. So there are some there

1687
01:18:57,360 --> 01:19:01,439
Speaker 1: are some apps that will do this for you. Clean

1688
01:19:01,520 --> 01:19:03,240
Speaker 1: my Phone is one of them. You can check that

1689
01:19:03,360 --> 01:19:07,160
Speaker 1: out and see. But again, you know, it's it's going

1690
01:19:07,200 --> 01:19:08,880
Speaker 1: to take a while to figure this stuff out, to

1691
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:10,920
Speaker 1: get to get this to a place where it's under

1692
01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:15,639
Speaker 1: the fifty gigs, including your backups. I think you're right, Rick,

1693
01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 1: The other thing you could do is if you're a

1694
01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:20,160
Speaker 1: member or do you have Amazon Prime. I do, okay,

1695
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:22,639
Speaker 1: so they have a free photos app that as long

1696
01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:25,680
Speaker 1: as you're an Amazon Prime member, you can download this

1697
01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:29,320
Speaker 1: photos app from Amazon and it will back up all

1698
01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:32,400
Speaker 1: of your photos for free and unlimited at full resolution.

1699
01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:38,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, well the caveat is two things. Number One,

1700
01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:40,840
Speaker 1: you have to be a Prime member, So if you

1701
01:19:40,840 --> 01:19:42,360
Speaker 1: stop paying for Prime, you know, they'll give you a

1702
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:44,320
Speaker 1: certain amount of time where you have to download all

1703
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:47,160
Speaker 1: your stuff before they kick you out, you know, So

1704
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:49,920
Speaker 1: that's number one. Number two is they don't give you

1705
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:52,120
Speaker 1: any story. They give you a tiny bit of storage

1706
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:55,559
Speaker 1: for videos, so it's not a solution for your videos,

1707
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:58,479
Speaker 1: but if you want, you know, you can use this

1708
01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:03,160
Speaker 1: as another way of offloading these pictures. So I use

1709
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:05,280
Speaker 1: it personally as like a secondary backup and I just

1710
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:06,639
Speaker 1: turn off the videos completely.

1711
01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:09,519
Speaker 2: I say, don't even back up videos. Which it's actually

1712
01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:10,960
Speaker 2: nice that the app gives you that option.

1713
01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:13,880
Speaker 11: Yeah, okay, I didn't know about that, so thank you.

1714
01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:14,680
Speaker 4: I appreciate that.

1715
01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:17,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, look the photos. If you look

1716
01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:20,760
Speaker 1: at the earnings reports of all the major companies, whether

1717
01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:25,719
Speaker 1: it's Amazon, whether it is Apple and Google. The number

1718
01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:28,679
Speaker 1: one growth for these companies right now is in what's

1719
01:20:28,720 --> 01:20:32,160
Speaker 1: called their service and cloud divisions. And why do you

1720
01:20:32,160 --> 01:20:35,040
Speaker 1: think that is all the stuff that we are uploading

1721
01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:36,759
Speaker 1: from our phones? And why do you think these phones,

1722
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:39,479
Speaker 1: you know they keep they shoot in four K, they

1723
01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:42,680
Speaker 1: shoot and you know higher megapixels, they're all taken up.

1724
01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:45,120
Speaker 1: This is this is where it's at, Like, this is

1725
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:48,920
Speaker 1: money that these companies will make forever based on us

1726
01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:49,920
Speaker 1: being unorganized.

1727
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:52,960
Speaker 11: I was I was thinking Apple's not selling a phone,

1728
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:54,120
Speaker 11: They're selling storage.

1729
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:56,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's really what it comes down to. They

1730
01:20:56,120 --> 01:20:58,240
Speaker 1: sell the phone they make. You know, people are holding

1731
01:20:58,240 --> 01:21:01,519
Speaker 1: their phones for thirty nine months now, so that that

1732
01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:03,280
Speaker 1: money you spend on a phone, let's say you spend

1733
01:21:03,320 --> 01:21:04,759
Speaker 1: eight hundred to one thousand dollars.

1734
01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:05,360
Speaker 2: Do the math.

1735
01:21:05,920 --> 01:21:09,439
Speaker 1: But if you're spending I mean Apple iCloud storage starts

1736
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:11,519
Speaker 1: at ninety nine cents a month, three ninety nine, five,

1737
01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:14,160
Speaker 1: ninety nine, ten dollars, I think I'm up to twenty.

1738
01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:16,120
Speaker 1: I'm up to two hundred and fifty dollars a year

1739
01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:20,599
Speaker 1: on my Google storage, Apple storage. I pay for the

1740
01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:24,240
Speaker 1: ridiculous Apple one, which is another forty bucks a month

1741
01:21:24,280 --> 01:21:27,040
Speaker 1: and then I pay for Dropbox. So I mean, you know,

1742
01:21:27,160 --> 01:21:29,439
Speaker 1: but I don't want anything to go away. So I'm

1743
01:21:29,479 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 1: I'm a little crazy in that way where I want

1744
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:34,240
Speaker 1: everything all at once, and you know, plus I test

1745
01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:35,960
Speaker 1: this stuff out, so well.

1746
01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:36,120
Speaker 4: Thank you.

1747
01:21:36,200 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 11: I'm going to hopefully my wife Maria will allow me

1748
01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 11: just to get the cloud stuff and just fight the bullet.

1749
01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:43,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would sit down and uh, you know, like

1750
01:21:43,479 --> 01:21:45,400
Speaker 1: I say to my wife, you know, if we're spending

1751
01:21:45,439 --> 01:21:47,479
Speaker 1: over you know, a certain amount of money, usually like

1752
01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:49,639
Speaker 1: over one hundred bucks, it's like family meeting time.

1753
01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:51,559
Speaker 2: We got to talk about this. We got to discuss

1754
01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:53,360
Speaker 2: So sit.

1755
01:21:53,240 --> 01:21:56,880
Speaker 1: Down, you know, maybe pour some wine, you know, just

1756
01:21:56,880 --> 01:22:00,080
Speaker 1: get everyone a little bit relaxed, and you know, we

1757
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:02,000
Speaker 1: talk about this cloud storage thing.

1758
01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:04,760
Speaker 11: Rick all right, say thanks for your time. I really

1759
01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:05,400
Speaker 11: appreciate it.

1760
01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:07,000
Speaker 2: Thanks for the question. Appreciate it.

1761
01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:10,320
Speaker 1: Just one more example of the fact that none of

1762
01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:12,200
Speaker 1: us are organized when it comes to our photos. I

1763
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:14,360
Speaker 1: will tell you this, at the end of the day,

1764
01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:18,240
Speaker 1: sit down and go through your photo role. Just take

1765
01:22:18,280 --> 01:22:20,880
Speaker 1: ten minutes a day, because that is the best way

1766
01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:22,639
Speaker 1: I found to get rid of a lot of the clutter,

1767
01:22:22,680 --> 01:22:24,320
Speaker 1: a lot of the things you do during the day,

1768
01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:27,160
Speaker 1: you don't necessarily need it long term eight eight eight

1769
01:22:27,520 --> 01:22:30,120
Speaker 1: Rich one O one eight eight eight seven four to

1770
01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:33,400
Speaker 1: two Poor one zero one. This is rich on Tech.

1771
01:22:35,160 --> 01:22:37,679
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging

1772
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:42,320
Speaker 1: out with you, talking technology. You can find me online

1773
01:22:42,400 --> 01:22:46,560
Speaker 1: at richon Tech dot tv. Coming up this hour, YouTuber

1774
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:51,040
Speaker 1: Jimmy is Promo is going to talk about the Samsung

1775
01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:53,719
Speaker 1: Galaxy S twenty five and give some tips and tricks

1776
01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:57,160
Speaker 1: if you have a Samsung device, and we'll get to

1777
01:22:57,200 --> 01:22:59,240
Speaker 1: the phone lines in just a moment. But first couple

1778
01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:04,280
Speaker 1: of items of no true caller. This app finally, finally,

1779
01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:08,760
Speaker 1: finally brings real time caller ID to the iPhone and

1780
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:11,840
Speaker 1: I got my first call yesterday where I identified it

1781
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:16,639
Speaker 1: using this app. So iPhone for many many years has

1782
01:23:16,680 --> 01:23:19,840
Speaker 1: had spam blockers and some level of caller ID, but

1783
01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:22,639
Speaker 1: this is the first time that apps can take advantage

1784
01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:25,080
Speaker 1: of a new feature in the latest version of the

1785
01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:29,679
Speaker 1: iOS software eighteen I think eighteen point three or eighteen

1786
01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:33,280
Speaker 1: point two rather and basically you can now see real

1787
01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:35,439
Speaker 1: time caller ID for the first time. I'm not going

1788
01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:37,519
Speaker 1: to get into it, but it used to be that

1789
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:40,240
Speaker 1: apps like True Caller were limited to like a small

1790
01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:43,280
Speaker 1: database of phone numbers they stored on your phone, but

1791
01:23:43,479 --> 01:23:46,960
Speaker 1: now it can actually look up using what's called live

1792
01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:50,960
Speaker 1: caller ID when someone actually calls. So this is a

1793
01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:54,120
Speaker 1: paid subscriber situation, so you do have to pay either

1794
01:23:54,200 --> 01:23:56,320
Speaker 1: ten dollars a month or seventy five dollars for the year.

1795
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:59,160
Speaker 1: But if you've been looking for a solution on the

1796
01:23:59,200 --> 01:24:04,000
Speaker 1: iPhone for actual caller ID and also spam blocking that

1797
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:09,040
Speaker 1: actually works, this might be the solution. And again, yesterday

1798
01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:11,920
Speaker 1: I got my first call where the caller phone number

1799
01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:13,280
Speaker 1: came up with the name and I was like, oh,

1800
01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:16,840
Speaker 1: there it is. Wow, it works. So True Caller is

1801
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:18,880
Speaker 1: the app. They do have a level of free service,

1802
01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:22,040
Speaker 1: but if you want this new premium real time caller ID,

1803
01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:26,120
Speaker 1: you gotta get the paid Let's see what else here?

1804
01:24:26,760 --> 01:24:30,519
Speaker 1: Oh this app I love. It's called Rosebud. This is

1805
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:34,559
Speaker 1: a journaling app and it uses AI. And I'm not

1806
01:24:34,640 --> 01:24:38,240
Speaker 1: kidding you know, I'm not a huge journaling guy, but

1807
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:42,080
Speaker 1: this has made me journal because I love it. It's

1808
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:46,519
Speaker 1: so it's called Rosebud and basically you put an entry

1809
01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:49,320
Speaker 1: into the app and then the app uses AI to

1810
01:24:49,400 --> 01:24:52,040
Speaker 1: kind of read what you wrote and gives you either

1811
01:24:52,120 --> 01:24:55,519
Speaker 1: questions back or insights on what you wrote. So if

1812
01:24:55,560 --> 01:24:57,439
Speaker 1: you're having like a rough day at work, you write

1813
01:24:57,439 --> 01:24:59,880
Speaker 1: in I keep having problems with gym at work. You know,

1814
01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:02,880
Speaker 1: just it's on my case every day about this. It

1815
01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:07,439
Speaker 1: will basically identify like how you think, patterns, and it

1816
01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:11,400
Speaker 1: just learns about you over time. I mean, it's really good.

1817
01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:13,839
Speaker 1: I don't want to call this therapy, but it feels

1818
01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:16,960
Speaker 1: almost like a mix of like therapy and life coaching

1819
01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:21,240
Speaker 1: all in one. And it's again, I can't tell you

1820
01:25:21,320 --> 01:25:24,800
Speaker 1: how good this is now. I know it seems a

1821
01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:27,320
Speaker 1: little scary to have AI kind of like reading what

1822
01:25:27,320 --> 01:25:30,519
Speaker 1: you're writing. But the guys who made this app, they

1823
01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:33,679
Speaker 1: tell me everything is private, everything's encrypted, nobody's reading your stuff.

1824
01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:37,360
Speaker 1: But I love this app. You type something in, like

1825
01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:39,120
Speaker 1: the other day, I had a little thing at work

1826
01:25:39,160 --> 01:25:41,320
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, let me type this into Rosebud.

1827
01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:44,200
Speaker 1: And the insights that it gives you about your life

1828
01:25:44,320 --> 01:25:48,160
Speaker 1: are just like wow, it figures out, like it'll say, Rich,

1829
01:25:48,280 --> 01:25:51,080
Speaker 1: here's how you think. Here's the pattern we notice over

1830
01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:53,160
Speaker 1: and over. Here's what we notice you do over and over.

1831
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:55,600
Speaker 1: You say, over and over or how you react to

1832
01:25:55,680 --> 01:25:59,439
Speaker 1: this situation over and over and it's really spot on.

1833
01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:03,919
Speaker 1: So if you're looking for more like self awareness, self reflection,

1834
01:26:04,479 --> 01:26:06,040
Speaker 1: maybe you just want to start a journal in the

1835
01:26:06,040 --> 01:26:07,360
Speaker 1: new year, I would.

1836
01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:09,360
Speaker 2: Check out this app. It's really really cool.

1837
01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:17,719
Speaker 1: The website rosebud Dot app rosebud Dot app. It's available

1838
01:26:17,720 --> 01:26:20,720
Speaker 1: for iPhone and Android, and I think, you know, if

1839
01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:22,920
Speaker 1: you're looking to improve your mental health, you want that

1840
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:24,840
Speaker 1: kind of Like I told my wife the other day,

1841
01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:25,960
Speaker 1: she was stressed out about something.

1842
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:27,280
Speaker 2: I said, did you journal about it?

1843
01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:30,599
Speaker 1: Now that I'm mister journal And she, by the way,

1844
01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:33,519
Speaker 1: is into like counseling and all that stuff, so she's like, no,

1845
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:35,720
Speaker 1: I haven't. I'm like, all right, well try that. And

1846
01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:39,040
Speaker 1: I'm telling it just feels better to like write something

1847
01:26:39,080 --> 01:26:41,920
Speaker 1: out and just get it out of your head and

1848
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:45,519
Speaker 1: onto somewhere else and then to get that. It gives

1849
01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:47,439
Speaker 1: you a weekly report of like all the stuff that

1850
01:26:47,439 --> 01:26:49,800
Speaker 1: happened and even figures out your mood. It'll give you

1851
01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:52,200
Speaker 1: like a weekly like here was your mood during the

1852
01:26:52,200 --> 01:26:54,360
Speaker 1: week based on how you wrote. So I really really

1853
01:26:54,400 --> 01:26:57,479
Speaker 1: like this app rosebud And yes it's freemium, so there

1854
01:26:57,560 --> 01:26:59,800
Speaker 1: is a free level of things you can do on it,

1855
01:26:59,840 --> 01:27:03,639
Speaker 1: and of course a paid level. Kathy and Pittsburgh, welcome

Speaker 8: bored and they're going to be laughing.

1859
01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:12,080
Speaker 2: Okay, well are they listening to just me? Or is

1860
01:27:12,080 --> 01:27:13,400
Speaker 2: that including what you're going to say?

1861
01:27:13,439 --> 01:27:15,640
Speaker 8: No, that's what I'm going to say. First time. I

1862
01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:17,880
Speaker 8: just heard you today, So thank you for taking my call.

1863
01:27:19,120 --> 01:27:23,000
Speaker 8: Almost eighty years old, and I have been using Windows

1864
01:27:23,040 --> 01:27:25,639
Speaker 8: eighty one on a desktop forever.

1865
01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:26,479
Speaker 4: I love it.

1866
01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:31,320
Speaker 8: But all of a sudden, I'm just getting delused with

1867
01:27:31,520 --> 01:27:36,160
Speaker 8: must upgrade, you know, in order to access So I said, okay,

1868
01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:41,719
Speaker 8: kicking and screaming. I'm trying to figure out what to get,

1869
01:27:41,760 --> 01:27:43,880
Speaker 8: and I have to hardware everything in my house. But

1870
01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:47,840
Speaker 8: here's two considerations. I recently was away from home for

1871
01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:49,959
Speaker 8: a couple of weeks and had go to the library

1872
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:51,720
Speaker 8: to be able to access my emails, and such a

1873
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:55,400
Speaker 8: nice discuss to stop. So I'm looking for something that's portable,

1874
01:27:56,200 --> 01:28:00,280
Speaker 8: and I don't know whether to go for a app

1875
01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:05,599
Speaker 8: top tablet or what now. And I will mention because

1876
01:28:05,600 --> 01:28:08,599
Speaker 8: I'm Wi Fi sensitive, I limit my use on my

1877
01:28:08,680 --> 01:28:12,320
Speaker 8: cell phone. But I can put some protection and some

1878
01:28:12,439 --> 01:28:13,400
Speaker 8: grounding to use.

1879
01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:16,360
Speaker 2: A laptop or right, you can use a connection like

1880
01:28:16,520 --> 01:28:16,840
Speaker 2: a wire.

1881
01:28:16,880 --> 01:28:18,599
Speaker 1: I've got less than a minute, so I've got to Okay,

1882
01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:20,519
Speaker 1: so here's my question for you, Kathy.

1883
01:28:20,920 --> 01:28:23,080
Speaker 8: But what could you recommend for an old person that

1884
01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:26,280
Speaker 8: doesn't really use their computer for much but emails than routes.

1885
01:28:26,400 --> 01:28:27,599
Speaker 2: Okay, that's what I was going to ask you.

1886
01:28:27,640 --> 01:28:29,479
Speaker 1: Do you want to accomplish work on this or you

1887
01:28:29,560 --> 01:28:31,000
Speaker 1: just want to mostly consume?

1888
01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:31,559
Speaker 4: No?

1889
01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:34,360
Speaker 1: Okay, then I would say just get an iPad and

1890
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:37,000
Speaker 1: you can get you can get an adapter for Ethernet.

1891
01:28:37,080 --> 01:28:38,599
Speaker 1: So if you want to, you know, a long cable

1892
01:28:38,640 --> 01:28:41,040
Speaker 1: from your you know, your router, just connect it to

1893
01:28:41,040 --> 01:28:42,720
Speaker 1: the bottom of the iPad. But that's the best thing

1894
01:28:42,760 --> 01:28:43,800
Speaker 1: to get, because.

1895
01:28:43,800 --> 01:28:45,599
Speaker 8: Do you have something other than an Apple product?

1896
01:28:45,800 --> 01:28:48,519
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, go with the Samsung. Go with the Samsung

1897
01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:52,960
Speaker 1: Tab S nine is their latest tablet. I would just

1898
01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:55,840
Speaker 1: go with that. But you know, I will tell you

1899
01:28:55,880 --> 01:28:58,599
Speaker 1: the apps are going to be way better on the iPad.

1900
01:28:58,640 --> 01:29:01,599
Speaker 1: That's just the bottom line, because the iPad has the

1901
01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:03,240
Speaker 1: most support for mobile apps.

1902
01:29:03,280 --> 01:29:04,320
Speaker 2: So but the.

1903
01:29:04,320 --> 01:29:06,240
Speaker 1: Tab, you know, the tab best nine will be great.

1904
01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:08,320
Speaker 1: I think that it's gonna be a little bit more expensive,

1905
01:29:08,760 --> 01:29:10,920
Speaker 1: but you know, it's gonna have a nice big screen.

1906
01:29:10,960 --> 01:29:12,840
Speaker 1: It's gonna have all the Android apps, and you'll be

1907
01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:14,599
Speaker 1: able to do all the stuff you want to do.

1908
01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:16,840
Speaker 1: And then just get a little connector for the bottom

1909
01:29:16,880 --> 01:29:19,720
Speaker 1: of the USB c to Ethernet to plug in your

1910
01:29:19,760 --> 01:29:22,600
Speaker 1: Ethernet cable. Coming up, we're gonna talk to Jimmy is

Speaker 13: Hey, thanks for having me, man, I appreciate it.

1925
01:30:09,560 --> 01:30:12,400
Speaker 1: So Jimmy and I see each other once or twice

1926
01:30:12,400 --> 01:30:16,400
Speaker 1: a year at the tech events, and he every time,

1927
01:30:16,439 --> 01:30:18,280
Speaker 1: I'm just like, hey, can you wait, you could do

1928
01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:20,000
Speaker 1: that on your phone. Wait what He's like, don't you

1929

1930
01:30:22,600 --> 01:30:26,000
Speaker 1: always pick up something new. So first off, I guess,

1931
01:30:26,520 --> 01:30:29,839
Speaker 1: how did you get into like doing Samsung tips and tricks?

1932
01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:31,000
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1933
01:30:31,040 --> 01:30:34,640
Speaker 13: So it first originated quite a while ago. Was back

1934
01:30:34,680 --> 01:30:39,160
Speaker 13: in twenty twelve. I was curious about, you know, what

1935
01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:41,479
Speaker 13: is it like to upload a video? I was actually

1936
01:30:41,560 --> 01:30:44,479
Speaker 13: in an AT and T store back then doing some

1937
01:30:44,640 --> 01:30:48,400
Speaker 13: marketing and some promotions for what was brand new back

1938
01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:51,479
Speaker 13: then was the original Note one Oh Wow, And so

1939
01:30:51,600 --> 01:30:53,120
Speaker 13: I was showing off some of the tips on the

1940
01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:55,080
Speaker 13: tricks and they're like, hey, take the phone home with you,

1941
01:30:55,120 --> 01:30:58,360
Speaker 13: get used to it, play around with it, you know,

1942
01:30:59,400 --> 01:31:01,559
Speaker 13: master that you're showing off, and I was like cool.

1943
01:31:01,680 --> 01:31:03,800
Speaker 13: So I got home and pretty much at that time,

1944
01:31:03,840 --> 01:31:06,120
Speaker 13: I was like, let's shoot a video. So I just

1945
01:31:06,120 --> 01:31:09,479
Speaker 13: wanted to shoot something, and it was the same spiel

1946
01:31:09,520 --> 01:31:11,280
Speaker 13: that I was doing in the stores, just showing off

1947
01:31:11,280 --> 01:31:13,839
Speaker 13: all the brand new tips and tricks and the new features,

1948
01:31:14,360 --> 01:31:17,519
Speaker 13: and basically I was curious of Okay, could I get

1949
01:31:17,560 --> 01:31:20,840
Speaker 13: some views and where can it go? And so pretty

1950
01:31:20,880 --> 01:31:24,040
Speaker 13: much it was mostly just based off of curiosity. So

1951
01:31:24,080 --> 01:31:26,920
Speaker 13: I uploaded the first video. It actually did pretty well,

1952
01:31:26,960 --> 01:31:29,080
Speaker 13: almost better than some of my videos today, but it

1953
01:31:29,160 --> 01:31:31,680
Speaker 13: was I think that one got like a little over

1954
01:31:31,720 --> 01:31:33,960
Speaker 13: three hundred and forty three hundred and fifty thousand views

1955
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:39,639
Speaker 13: pretty quick because there wasn't as many tech specific phone

1956
01:31:39,720 --> 01:31:44,040
Speaker 13: related channels out there. Yeah, and so yeah, that's basically

1957
01:31:44,040 --> 01:31:46,320
Speaker 13: how it started. So it came from the world of

1958
01:31:46,360 --> 01:31:49,640
Speaker 13: marketing promotions showing customers how to use their phone, and

1959
01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:53,120
Speaker 13: then it kind of moved into just doing it more

1960
01:31:53,160 --> 01:31:54,680
Speaker 13: and more and more on YouTube. And then after I

1961
01:31:54,720 --> 01:31:56,320
Speaker 13: figured out that it's actually a thing that I just

1962
01:31:56,400 --> 01:32:01,120
Speaker 13: kept uploading. And then the name Jimmy is pro came

1963
01:32:01,160 --> 01:32:05,040
Speaker 13: from the email that I created back way back in

1964
01:32:05,040 --> 01:32:09,240
Speaker 13: the day doing promotional work tours promotions, and I was like,

1965
01:32:09,280 --> 01:32:12,479
Speaker 13: I have to have an easy email that they would

1966
01:32:12,840 --> 01:32:14,960
Speaker 13: go with and maybe something that's more professional than some

1967
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:17,519
Speaker 13: of the older emails that we had, and so Jimmy

1968
01:32:17,640 --> 01:32:20,880
Speaker 13: is Promo just kind of stayed and that's just kind

1969
01:32:20,880 --> 01:32:23,360
Speaker 13: of how I got that work. And then that's how

1970
01:32:23,920 --> 01:32:26,519
Speaker 13: YouTube kept the name of Jimmy as promo. The only

1971
01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:29,479
Speaker 13: change I did was put in the spaces between Jimmy

1972
01:32:29,640 --> 01:32:30,520
Speaker 13: is promo.

1973
01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:32,439
Speaker 1: And as they say, the rest is history. So now,

1974
01:32:32,439 --> 01:32:34,519
Speaker 1: of course you have a channel on YouTube and you

1975
01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:37,439
Speaker 1: know very successful. What do you think about the new

1976
01:32:37,960 --> 01:32:40,439
Speaker 1: S twenty five series. I've been loving it. I think

1977
01:32:40,439 --> 01:32:41,519
Speaker 1: it is the best phone.

1978
01:32:41,600 --> 01:32:41,760
Speaker 2: Now.

1979
01:32:41,800 --> 01:32:43,640
Speaker 1: I know you may have a different opinion because you

1980
01:32:43,680 --> 01:32:46,600
Speaker 1: know the micro SD cards and the Bluetooth on the

1981
01:32:46,680 --> 01:32:49,519
Speaker 1: you know, no Bluetooth on the stylist, But like, I

1982
01:32:49,560 --> 01:32:52,439
Speaker 1: think this is overall the best Samsung phone I've ever used.

1983
01:32:53,200 --> 01:32:56,160
Speaker 13: I mean, I'd say it's the best well rounded phone

1984
01:32:56,240 --> 01:32:59,080
Speaker 13: I think. I'm and I guess pun intended with the corners.

1985
01:32:59,120 --> 01:33:01,080
Speaker 13: I mean, I love the flag that you know, with

1986
01:33:01,120 --> 01:33:04,600
Speaker 13: the S twenty four it was a rectangular device and

1987
01:33:04,640 --> 01:33:06,360
Speaker 13: if you use it without a case, it was just

1988
01:33:06,520 --> 01:33:09,040
Speaker 13: in your palm. Yeah, and so this is a comfortable

1989
01:33:09,080 --> 01:33:12,200
Speaker 13: phone to hold, a comfortable phone to use. So with

1990
01:33:12,240 --> 01:33:15,640
Speaker 13: the rounded corners you have a little bit better performance

1991
01:33:15,800 --> 01:33:17,880
Speaker 13: than even the S twenty four Ultra. I mean, I

1992
01:33:17,880 --> 01:33:20,360
Speaker 13: can tell the difference between the camera as well as

1993
01:33:20,360 --> 01:33:22,880
Speaker 13: the sound, Like I feel like it sounds much better

1994
01:33:22,920 --> 01:33:26,160
Speaker 13: than the S twenty four and then also Samsung one

1995
01:33:26,280 --> 01:33:29,400
Speaker 13: UY seven Yeah, which is basically the skin that Samsung

1996
01:33:29,520 --> 01:33:32,680
Speaker 13: uses on top of Android. It just it gives you

1997
01:33:32,680 --> 01:33:34,719
Speaker 13: a really good experience, a whole bunch of really fun,

1998
01:33:34,920 --> 01:33:42,519
Speaker 13: you know, packed features, and yeah, so far, it's definitely

1999
01:33:42,520 --> 01:33:44,000
Speaker 13: one that I could tell the difference between the S

2000
01:33:44,040 --> 01:33:46,679
Speaker 13: twenty four and for anybody who was holding onto any

2001
01:33:46,720 --> 01:33:48,880
Speaker 13: phone of like the S twenty, the S twenty one,

2002
01:33:48,920 --> 01:33:51,400
Speaker 13: the S twenty two, the S twenty three, they'll see

2003
01:33:51,439 --> 01:33:53,720
Speaker 13: a huge difference for upgrades.

2004
01:33:54,720 --> 01:33:56,480
Speaker 4: If you're maybe.

2005
01:33:56,080 --> 01:33:58,760
Speaker 13: Moving or thinking of moving from the S twenty four

2006
01:33:58,840 --> 01:34:01,839
Speaker 13: series to the S twenty five series, those are mostly

2007
01:34:01,920 --> 01:34:04,439
Speaker 13: those who love the latest and greatest, who wants the

2008
01:34:04,479 --> 01:34:07,960
Speaker 13: highest trade and value for the most recent phone. But yeah,

2009
01:34:07,960 --> 01:34:09,720
Speaker 13: anybody that moves into it, I think is going to have,

2010
01:34:10,240 --> 01:34:11,960
Speaker 13: you know, a really good experience with the device.

2011
01:34:12,200 --> 01:34:14,000
Speaker 1: I'd say, even if you have the S twenty four

2012
01:34:14,080 --> 01:34:17,120
Speaker 1: and you're thinking of it, go for it, because I

2013
01:34:17,520 --> 01:34:20,680
Speaker 1: just think that just the design alone on the S

2014
01:34:20,760 --> 01:34:23,320
Speaker 1: twenty five Ultra compared to the twenty four is like

2015
01:34:23,920 --> 01:34:26,640
Speaker 1: it just feels perfect in your hand, like compared to

2016
01:34:26,640 --> 01:34:28,960
Speaker 1: the old one, which was fine, but it wasn't as

2017
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:31,599
Speaker 1: easy to hold and manipulate as this one.

2018
01:34:31,680 --> 01:34:34,320
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's my thing. Who's going.

2019
01:34:34,320 --> 01:34:35,600
Speaker 13: I mean, you get a little bit better of a

2020
01:34:35,640 --> 01:34:38,639
Speaker 13: camera set up like the Ultra wise a little bit better. Yeah,

2021
01:34:38,680 --> 01:34:41,439
Speaker 13: and then even even the power efficiency is better, so you.

2022
01:34:41,680 --> 01:34:45,080
Speaker 1: Thel the cooling is way improved because it's like the

2023
01:34:45,160 --> 01:34:47,679
Speaker 1: vape what I mean. I know this is nerdy and techy,

2024
01:34:47,760 --> 01:34:50,160
Speaker 1: but like that vapor chamber, it's like bigger, so it

2025
01:34:50,240 --> 01:34:52,920
Speaker 1: keeps the phone cooler. Like I'm not kidding, Jimmy, I

2026
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:56,840
Speaker 1: was using the pixel of was the pixel fold. The

2027
01:34:56,880 --> 01:34:59,599
Speaker 1: heat that that thing puts out compared to the Samsung

2028
01:34:59,640 --> 01:35:02,960
Speaker 1: that does not heat up at all, is just it's

2029
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:03,960
Speaker 1: just night and day.

2030
01:35:04,439 --> 01:35:06,840
Speaker 13: Yeah, I believe the vapor chamber, if I remember right,

2031
01:35:06,840 --> 01:35:09,479
Speaker 13: they said it was forty percent larger in the S

2032
01:35:09,560 --> 01:35:11,920
Speaker 13: twenty five Ultra versus the S twenty four Ultra.

2033
01:35:12,280 --> 01:35:14,759
Speaker 1: So that means that your phone when it's being used,

2034
01:35:14,760 --> 01:35:16,599
Speaker 1: if you're playing games or just using it a lot,

2035
01:35:16,680 --> 01:35:19,240
Speaker 1: or even charging it, it's just not going to get

2036
01:35:19,400 --> 01:35:22,120
Speaker 1: hot compared to the older model. And it to me,

2037
01:35:22,280 --> 01:35:24,439
Speaker 1: I've never even felt this phone warm. I know it's

2038
01:35:24,479 --> 01:35:28,799
Speaker 1: not the summer right now, but it's still pretty pretty good. Okay,

2039
01:35:29,280 --> 01:35:32,280
Speaker 1: So I wanted you to touch upon one thing before

2040
01:35:32,320 --> 01:35:33,760
Speaker 1: we get to some of your tips and tricks. But

2041
01:35:33,880 --> 01:35:37,120
Speaker 1: easy Mode this is a really this is like a

2042
01:35:37,200 --> 01:35:39,800
Speaker 1: nice hidden gem on the Samsung side of things. Can

2043
01:35:39,800 --> 01:35:40,720
Speaker 1: you explain what that is?

2044
01:35:41,680 --> 01:35:44,679
Speaker 13: Yeah, so easy Mode it's actually even easy to find.

2045
01:35:45,479 --> 01:35:49,600
Speaker 13: So it just changes your display so you still have

2046
01:35:49,640 --> 01:35:52,559
Speaker 13: a very powerful phone. But when you go inside your

2047
01:35:52,640 --> 01:35:56,200
Speaker 13: display settings, you have an option for easy Mode. And

2048
01:35:56,320 --> 01:35:59,040
Speaker 13: what it does is it makes it easier to use.

2049
01:35:59,400 --> 01:36:02,479
Speaker 13: It is limiting basically what is shown on the screen.

2050
01:36:03,160 --> 01:36:06,760
Speaker 13: It also has larger print. It only comes with three

2051
01:36:06,840 --> 01:36:10,120
Speaker 13: home screens initially, so on the left hand side, if

2052
01:36:10,120 --> 01:36:12,360
Speaker 13: you swipe to the left, that is where you're gonna

2053
01:36:12,360 --> 01:36:14,519
Speaker 13: have all of your quick contacts. So like you have

2054
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:16,880
Speaker 13: I believe it's nine or twelve. I think it could

2055
01:36:16,880 --> 01:36:19,920
Speaker 13: be nine contacts and you tap on them so in

2056
01:36:19,920 --> 01:36:21,879
Speaker 13: this way you can either call them or text them.

2057
01:36:22,240 --> 01:36:23,880
Speaker 13: Then you have your main home screen that you can

2058
01:36:23,920 --> 01:36:26,160
Speaker 13: move your applications wherever you want them to go. You

2059
01:36:26,160 --> 01:36:29,240
Speaker 13: have your camera, the Internet, and then your next screen

2060
01:36:29,360 --> 01:36:31,960
Speaker 13: is just whatever you want there, like if you want

2061
01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:34,479
Speaker 13: a couple of widgets, you know, on the right so

2062
01:36:34,520 --> 01:36:39,160
Speaker 13: pretty much, it's like if you don't need all the

2063
01:36:39,160 --> 01:36:42,360
Speaker 13: bells and whistles, but you still want it, you can

2064
01:36:42,400 --> 01:36:43,599
Speaker 13: basically tone it down.

2065
01:36:43,640 --> 01:36:45,000
Speaker 2: And that's really what easy mode does.

2066
01:36:45,439 --> 01:36:47,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just makes the phone like just simpler. I mean,

2067
01:36:47,960 --> 01:36:50,960
Speaker 1: look in general, like you if it's like someone that's

2068
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:53,479
Speaker 1: a little bit more elderly or a senior that you

2069
01:36:53,479 --> 01:36:56,160
Speaker 1: know may not want everything or just want something simple,

2070
01:36:56,640 --> 01:36:58,439
Speaker 1: or even the fact that I was looking at it

2071
01:36:58,439 --> 01:37:01,320
Speaker 1: and it says it increases the touch and hold delay,

2072
01:37:01,680 --> 01:37:04,000
Speaker 1: so that means that like you know, some people like

2073
01:37:04,040 --> 01:37:06,360
Speaker 1: they may hold things or touch their screen longer and

2074
01:37:06,400 --> 01:37:08,160
Speaker 1: like now they're like, oh, something just happened. I don't

2075
01:37:08,160 --> 01:37:10,840
Speaker 1: know why I didn't do anything. Well, that's because you're

2076
01:37:10,840 --> 01:37:13,759
Speaker 1: touching stuff randomly and it's activating stuff. So this actually

2077
01:37:14,120 --> 01:37:17,479
Speaker 1: makes that delay longer so that you're not like triggering

2078
01:37:17,560 --> 01:37:19,519
Speaker 1: random stuff all the time, which I know you know

2079
01:37:19,600 --> 01:37:23,320
Speaker 1: is a common problem. So any tip you want to

2080
01:37:23,320 --> 01:37:25,439
Speaker 1: offer for the Samsung phones, anything that you think people

2081
01:37:25,439 --> 01:37:28,080
Speaker 1: should look into if they have one of these things.

2082
01:37:29,080 --> 01:37:32,640
Speaker 13: I mean, first off, when it comes down to you know,

2083
01:37:32,720 --> 01:37:35,759
Speaker 13: let's say like the camera. Pretty much for the camera,

2084
01:37:36,439 --> 01:37:40,479
Speaker 13: you're able to play with your Galaxy Log if you

2085
01:37:40,520 --> 01:37:44,160
Speaker 13: want to create like a really nice video shot where

2086
01:37:44,160 --> 01:37:48,440
Speaker 13: you're able to notice if you're shooting something that's overexposed,

2087
01:37:48,680 --> 01:37:51,040
Speaker 13: so you'll have like just a really clean shot, so

2088
01:37:52,320 --> 01:37:54,840
Speaker 13: you'll be able to play with the Galaxy Log a

2089
01:37:54,840 --> 01:37:56,840
Speaker 13: couple of things too, Like one of the newer ones,

2090
01:37:56,880 --> 01:38:00,439
Speaker 13: it's features called now bar, And if you're into sports,

2091
01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:04,720
Speaker 13: if it's NBA or baseball, basketball, football, doesn't matter what

2092
01:38:04,760 --> 01:38:07,640
Speaker 13: it is. They actually have a new now bar that

2093
01:38:07,720 --> 01:38:11,880
Speaker 13: is called Live Sports and pretty much it's associated with

2094
01:38:11,920 --> 01:38:14,320
Speaker 13: your Google and it's actually very easy to set up.

2095
01:38:14,680 --> 01:38:18,439
Speaker 13: I've actually shown videos showing off like the best tips

2096
01:38:18,439 --> 01:38:20,960
Speaker 13: in the tricks, some of the hidden features, some of

2097
01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:23,960
Speaker 13: the settings can change immediately, you know, on my channel.

2098
01:38:25,280 --> 01:38:27,080
Speaker 13: And also if you create, you know, some of the

2099
01:38:27,080 --> 01:38:29,600
Speaker 13: simple stuff. If you create something on your calendar and

2100
01:38:29,640 --> 01:38:31,920
Speaker 13: you notice it's on the wrong day, you can do

2101
01:38:31,960 --> 01:38:35,080
Speaker 13: a simple drag and drop rather than editing, so you

2102
01:38:35,120 --> 01:38:36,800
Speaker 13: can just drag it and drop it to the correct

2103
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:39,080
Speaker 13: date and then that's all you would have to do.

2104
01:38:39,400 --> 01:38:41,880
Speaker 13: And then you can, if you want, fully customize your

2105
01:38:41,880 --> 01:38:43,360
Speaker 13: lock screen and your home screen.

2106
01:38:44,520 --> 01:38:46,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's I think that's the biggest I mean,

2107
01:38:46,520 --> 01:38:48,240
Speaker 1: I guess I should ask you this, why do you

2108
01:38:48,360 --> 01:38:50,880
Speaker 1: like Samsung and Android over iOS?

2109
01:38:51,560 --> 01:38:51,760
Speaker 6: Yeah?

2110
01:38:51,800 --> 01:38:54,320
Speaker 13: So, I mean one of the reasons would be a

2111
01:38:54,320 --> 01:38:56,519
Speaker 13: lot of the customizations. I mean, there's just so much

2112
01:38:56,520 --> 01:38:59,759
Speaker 13: you can do with it. And actually, yesterday I played

2113
01:38:59,800 --> 01:39:05,439
Speaker 13: with the new and upcoming Samsung Home Up application. It's

2114
01:39:05,439 --> 01:39:09,080
Speaker 13: where you can fully free form set up your entire

2115
01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:13,800
Speaker 13: home screen however you want. You can diagnoalize anything, make

2116
01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:15,040
Speaker 13: any application bigger.

2117
01:39:16,080 --> 01:39:16,799
Speaker 2: You can also.

2118
01:39:18,160 --> 01:39:21,160
Speaker 13: Change your animation, so some people love the animations of

2119
01:39:21,200 --> 01:39:24,599
Speaker 13: Samsung phones. You can actually completely change how the animation looks,

2120
01:39:24,680 --> 01:39:27,280
Speaker 13: how it bounces, how fast or how slow it goes.

2121
01:39:27,320 --> 01:39:29,640
Speaker 13: So I'd say the number one would be a customization.

2122
01:39:30,080 --> 01:39:32,640
Speaker 13: Other than that, I mean, Samsung is you know, if

2123
01:39:32,640 --> 01:39:35,519
Speaker 13: you're looked in that security reasons, Samsung is just as

2124
01:39:35,640 --> 01:39:38,559
Speaker 13: you know, just as or more secure than Apple, Especially

2125
01:39:38,560 --> 01:39:38,760
Speaker 13: when it.

2126
01:39:38,760 --> 01:39:40,000
Speaker 2: Comes down to Samsung Knox.

2127
01:39:41,120 --> 01:39:43,960
Speaker 13: I think personally, just because my home has so many

2128
01:39:44,000 --> 01:39:47,920
Speaker 13: Samsung products that I feel they have a bigger ecosystem

2129
01:39:47,920 --> 01:39:49,599
Speaker 13: because not only do they have you know, Samsung has

2130
01:39:49,640 --> 01:39:52,800
Speaker 13: the phones, the watches, the tabs, the earbuds, they have

2131
01:39:52,960 --> 01:39:57,320
Speaker 13: the TVs, the washers, the dryers, the refrigerators, the robot vacuums, everything,

2132
01:39:57,360 --> 01:40:01,879
Speaker 13: so you can just connect everything together. And then lastly,

2133
01:40:01,920 --> 01:40:05,360
Speaker 13: I'll say the camera. So I know that I have

2134
01:40:05,360 --> 01:40:09,360
Speaker 13: a few friends that have Apple iPhone devices and if

2135
01:40:09,360 --> 01:40:11,599
Speaker 13: I'm with them, they'll say, hey, Jimmy, just take the photo.

2136
01:40:12,200 --> 01:40:14,599
Speaker 13: And it's sometimes just because they know that I can

2137
01:40:14,840 --> 01:40:17,320
Speaker 13: sometimes create a better shot.

2138
01:40:17,200 --> 01:40:17,960
Speaker 2: Than what they can.

2139
01:40:18,040 --> 01:40:19,559
Speaker 13: So I don't know if it's a big main thing

2140
01:40:19,600 --> 01:40:21,960
Speaker 13: out there, but in my world out here, some of

2141
01:40:22,000 --> 01:40:24,679
Speaker 13: my iPhone friends asked me to take the photos. Which

2142
01:40:24,760 --> 01:40:29,920
Speaker 13: is funny because within Samsung phones and Apple phones, they

2143
01:40:29,960 --> 01:40:34,520
Speaker 13: both use sensors that are coming from either Sony or Samsung.

2144
01:40:35,320 --> 01:40:37,520
Speaker 13: It just kind of depends on some of the processing

2145
01:40:37,640 --> 01:40:41,720
Speaker 13: after the fact. Interesting, So I love the camera and

2146
01:40:41,760 --> 01:40:45,800
Speaker 13: the security and the ecosystem and the customizable you know, customizability.

2147
01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:47,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's really what it comes down to. I mean,

2148
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:50,160
Speaker 2: obviously it's a personal preference, and you know there's always

2149
01:40:50,439 --> 01:40:52,040
Speaker 2: till the end of the world there will be a

2150
01:40:52,040 --> 01:40:53,519
Speaker 2: debate of iPhone versus Android.

2151
01:40:53,560 --> 01:40:57,040
Speaker 1: But that's what makes this stuff fun. Jimmy is promo

Speaker 1: little customization feature, it's all there and you do a

2157

Speaker 13: Thank you so much for having me on the show

2161
01:41:18,520 --> 01:41:19,920
Speaker 13: and taking up some of your time.

2162
01:41:20,080 --> 01:41:21,479
Speaker 2: Absolutely all right.

2163
01:41:21,520 --> 01:41:23,480
Speaker 1: Coming up next, we're going to open up the feedback,

2164
01:41:24,160 --> 01:41:26,439
Speaker 1: get into some of the emails this week, and I'll

2165
01:41:26,439 --> 01:41:28,559
Speaker 1: tell you about the web browser that wants you to

2166
01:41:28,600 --> 01:41:32,519
Speaker 1: take a break from the Internet. This is rich on Tech.

2167
01:41:33,120 --> 01:41:35,760
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich On Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging

2168
01:41:35,760 --> 01:41:41,280
Speaker 1: out with you, talking technology. You know, I didn't think

2169
01:41:41,320 --> 01:41:43,519
Speaker 1: that I would like a new web browser, but I

2170
01:41:43,520 --> 01:41:46,280
Speaker 1: got to tell you this Opera Air. It's a brand

2171
01:41:46,280 --> 01:41:50,880
Speaker 1: new web browser that I'm kind of loving. And it's

2172
01:41:50,920 --> 01:41:54,400
Speaker 1: called Opera Air. It's made by Opera company out of

2173
01:41:55,080 --> 01:41:59,080
Speaker 1: I think they're Scandinavian, and you know, Opera's been around forever.

2174
01:41:59,120 --> 01:42:02,400
Speaker 1: But this new web browser is all about mindfulness and

2175
01:42:02,439 --> 01:42:05,400
Speaker 1: well being. So a couple features that are really neat.

2176
01:42:05,520 --> 01:42:08,280
Speaker 1: Not only does this web browser look really cool, it's

2177
01:42:08,280 --> 01:42:10,439
Speaker 1: like very like nice like kind of a almost like

2178
01:42:10,479 --> 01:42:12,000
Speaker 1: a I don't know if I want to say a

2179
01:42:12,040 --> 01:42:14,479
Speaker 1: green design, but it just looks like very modern and

2180
01:42:14,560 --> 01:42:18,280
Speaker 1: like fresh. But it's got two special modes take a

2181
01:42:18,320 --> 01:42:21,519
Speaker 1: break mode, so it's got it reminds you to take

2182
01:42:21,520 --> 01:42:23,160
Speaker 1: a break, so if you've been on the internet for

2183
01:42:23,160 --> 01:42:25,200
Speaker 1: too long, it'll say, hey, take a break, and then

2184
01:42:25,200 --> 01:42:28,599
Speaker 1: you can do these breathing exercises, meditation and body scans.

2185
01:42:29,080 --> 01:42:33,439
Speaker 1: Then it's got this Boosts feature, which features binaural beats

2186
01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:37,040
Speaker 1: to enhance relaxation, focus, and creativity. So they've got a

2187
01:42:37,080 --> 01:42:42,839
Speaker 1: creativity boost and energized focus, deep relaxation, mental clarity, analytical thinking,

2188
01:42:43,479 --> 01:42:47,720
Speaker 1: and peak concentration. Now I use the I wrote my newsletter, which,

2189
01:42:47,760 --> 01:42:49,559
Speaker 1: by the way, you can subscribe to Rich on tech

2190
01:42:49,600 --> 01:42:52,599
Speaker 1: dot tv. Sign up there for free. But I use

2191
01:42:52,680 --> 01:42:56,200
Speaker 1: the energized focus yesterday while I wrote my newsletter. I'm

2192
01:42:56,240 --> 01:42:59,559
Speaker 1: not kidding, it might be my best newsletter yet. Now

2193
01:42:59,560 --> 01:43:04,200
Speaker 1: they go into these things. Theta six hurts, Alpha twelve hurts.

2194
01:43:04,200 --> 01:43:06,679
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means, but it's like something

2195
01:43:06,680 --> 01:43:09,880
Speaker 1: in the beat, the vibration. I don't know, but it's

2196
01:43:09,920 --> 01:43:11,479
Speaker 1: just these are great and they're built in. It's like

2197
01:43:11,479 --> 01:43:16,200
Speaker 1: background music. Then it also has CHATCHYBT in the sidebar,

2198
01:43:16,320 --> 01:43:18,599
Speaker 1: so you can surf and got CHATCHYBT to your left.

2199
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:22,040
Speaker 1: It blocks ads and trackers in the settings. It's not

2200
01:43:22,080 --> 01:43:24,360
Speaker 1: on by default, but you can toggle it on and

2201
01:43:24,400 --> 01:43:27,760
Speaker 1: you can even get Chrome extensions. So I'm like, I'm

2202
01:43:27,880 --> 01:43:30,160
Speaker 1: almost ready to switch to this web browser to try

2203
01:43:30,200 --> 01:43:31,559
Speaker 1: it out because I'm trying to figure out what the

2204
01:43:31,560 --> 01:43:34,600
Speaker 1: downside is. Oh, there's also a VPN built in, so

2205
01:43:35,400 --> 01:43:37,720
Speaker 1: again it's called Opera Air. It's brand new. It's all

2206
01:43:37,720 --> 01:43:38,640
Speaker 1: about mindfulness.

2207
01:43:38,760 --> 01:43:39,040
Speaker 2: I don't know.

2208
01:43:39,040 --> 01:43:41,640
Speaker 1: I would check it out. It's pretty nice, all right,

2209
01:43:41,720 --> 01:43:45,240
Speaker 1: Let's open up the feedbag. This is a feedback plus

2210
01:43:45,280 --> 01:43:48,639
Speaker 1: the mail bag mixed into one. These emails, the comments

2211
01:43:48,640 --> 01:43:50,400
Speaker 1: and the questions I've gotten from you. If you want

2212
01:43:50,400 --> 01:43:52,479
Speaker 1: to submit yours, go to Rich on tech dot tv

2213
01:43:52,920 --> 01:43:56,840
Speaker 1: hit contact. Jeff writes in about the language issues we

2214
01:43:56,920 --> 01:43:59,559
Speaker 1: had with our earlier caller. He said, if you're having

2215
01:43:59,600 --> 01:44:03,880
Speaker 1: trouble with the language on Windows, try pressing Windows key

2216
01:44:03,920 --> 01:44:07,439
Speaker 1: plus space to quickly switch between languages. You said the

2217
01:44:07,439 --> 01:44:09,640
Speaker 1: shortcut works if you have multiple languages installed, and of

2218
01:44:09,720 --> 01:44:13,759
Speaker 1: course you also said settings time in language, language and region,

2219
01:44:14,200 --> 01:44:16,759
Speaker 1: make sure the right language is set there hope that works.

2220
01:44:16,840 --> 01:44:17,599
Speaker 2: Thank you, Jeff.

2221
01:44:18,280 --> 01:44:20,479
Speaker 1: Jay writes in, I was listening to your podcast from

2222
01:44:20,560 --> 01:44:23,040
Speaker 1: last week about the Samsung Galaxy S twenty five and

2223
01:44:23,080 --> 01:44:25,519
Speaker 1: whether an mv and O would offer the satellite feature.

2224
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:28,040
Speaker 1: I just got a Samsung S twenty five and was

2225
01:44:28,080 --> 01:44:31,679
Speaker 1: thinking about switching from Verizon to Visible, but Visible told

2226
01:44:31,680 --> 01:44:33,639
Speaker 1: me they don't offer the feature, even though the phone

2227
01:44:33,720 --> 01:44:36,400
Speaker 1: is capable, I'd have to stay with Verizon to use it.

2228
01:44:36,439 --> 01:44:37,639
Speaker 2: That is a great point.

2229
01:44:38,640 --> 01:44:42,439
Speaker 1: All these mv and o's that offer inexpensive coverage or

2230
01:44:42,520 --> 01:44:46,400
Speaker 1: inexpensive monthly service, you may not get that new satellite

2231
01:44:46,479 --> 01:44:50,200
Speaker 1: texting if your phone doesn't have that capability. Like with Apple,

2232
01:44:50,320 --> 01:44:52,600
Speaker 1: it's built in with the pixel, it's built in. What

2233
01:44:52,760 --> 01:44:56,280
Speaker 1: was Samsung? They are relying on the cellular carriers to

2234
01:44:56,320 --> 01:44:58,840
Speaker 1: offer satellite, so I haven't heard a word about these

2235
01:44:58,920 --> 01:45:03,200
Speaker 1: mv and os offering that great great point, Jay, let's see.

2236
01:45:03,439 --> 01:45:06,680
Speaker 1: Eric writes in via Facebook, Facebook dot com slash rich

2237
01:45:06,720 --> 01:45:09,879
Speaker 1: on tech, thanks for covering Netflix plans. The Netflix standard

2238
01:45:09,880 --> 01:45:12,719
Speaker 1: with ADS plan at eight bucks a month does allow

2239
01:45:12,800 --> 01:45:15,800
Speaker 1: downloads right now, Netflix is the only streaming service that

2240
01:45:15,880 --> 01:45:18,560
Speaker 1: lets users download content on an AD supported plan. I

2241
01:45:18,640 --> 01:45:22,639
Speaker 1: was surprised you didn't mention this. I appreciate the clarification, Eric,

2242
01:45:22,680 --> 01:45:26,120
Speaker 1: I did not realize that Netflix added downloads to this plan.

2243
01:45:26,600 --> 01:45:29,639
Speaker 1: When it first came out, it was streaming only. They

2244
01:45:29,640 --> 01:45:33,439
Speaker 1: did not have offline viewing, so I'm glad they changed that.

2245
01:45:33,680 --> 01:45:36,240
Speaker 1: And you know what, eight bucks a month?

2246
01:45:36,280 --> 01:45:38,599
Speaker 2: Why not? Let's see.

2247
01:45:39,040 --> 01:45:41,320
Speaker 1: Ferlan writes in just listening to your last show heard

2248
01:45:41,360 --> 01:45:45,160
Speaker 1: you mentioned Michael and Kentucky asking about the car tablet Promax.

2249
01:45:45,320 --> 01:45:49,000
Speaker 1: I bought the model from Amazon. Installation takes some work

2250
01:45:49,040 --> 01:45:51,759
Speaker 1: if to mount the review mirror. I run the audio

2251
01:45:51,760 --> 01:45:54,200
Speaker 1: through the auxport on my twenty twelve forward focus. I

2252
01:45:54,240 --> 01:45:57,479
Speaker 1: really wanted a backup camera. I love it. CarPlay works great.

2253
01:45:57,560 --> 01:45:59,760
Speaker 1: Then unit records constantly, which is great in case of

2254
01:45:59,800 --> 01:46:02,400
Speaker 1: an accident. Great for an old car that doesn't have

2255
01:46:02,479 --> 01:46:05,960
Speaker 1: car Player Android Otto. Okay, there you go, let's see.

2256
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:08,559
Speaker 1: Robert writes in bottom Line. I'm almost seventy. I'm not

2257
01:46:08,640 --> 01:46:11,519
Speaker 1: tech savvy and still do most things manually, including running

2258
01:46:11,560 --> 01:46:14,040
Speaker 1: my fifty year old business. I keep someone on retainer

2259
01:46:14,080 --> 01:46:16,720
Speaker 1: for tech help. But you've always answered my questions, and

2260
01:46:16,760 --> 01:46:18,559
Speaker 1: the way you explain things makes it easy.

2261
01:46:18,560 --> 01:46:19,320
Speaker 2: It always works.

2262
01:46:19,360 --> 01:46:22,400
Speaker 1: Your professional, straightforward and clearly passionate about what you do.

2263
01:46:22,920 --> 01:46:25,400
Speaker 2: Enjoy your growth. Thank you, Robert. You paid him for that,

2264
01:46:25,479 --> 01:46:28,760
Speaker 2: didn't you. I did not. A couple of people wrote in.

2265
01:46:28,880 --> 01:46:31,599
Speaker 1: Forrest writes in, congratulations on the news that your show

2266
01:46:31,640 --> 01:46:33,360

01:46:35,680 --> 01:46:38,559
Speaker 1: I knew you were going places here you are. I'm

2269
01:46:38,560 --> 01:46:40,559
Speaker 1: so happy for you. You deserve it, and I don't

2270
01:46:40,560 --> 01:46:44,400
Speaker 1: see anything standing in your way. Forrest, Thank you. Jane

2271
01:46:44,400 --> 01:46:46,719
Speaker 1: writes in, I love listening while driving. You always seem

2272
01:46:46,760 --> 01:46:48,920
Speaker 1: to cover something I've been wondering about or an issue

2273
01:46:48,920 --> 01:46:50,320
Speaker 1: I've been dealing with at the time.

2274
01:46:50,560 --> 01:46:51,320
Speaker 2: Great timing.

2275
01:46:51,600 --> 01:46:56,080
Speaker 1: That's because, Jane, the listeners are my secret. They're the

2276
01:46:56,080 --> 01:46:58,080
Speaker 1: ones that come up with these questions that you know

2277
01:46:58,160 --> 01:47:01,200
Speaker 1: I may not think of. Andy writes in, as an

2278
01:47:01,200 --> 01:47:04,000
Speaker 1: AI user, computer novice and someone over sixty, I find

2279
01:47:04,000 --> 01:47:06,920

01:47:06,960 --> 01:47:08,880
