24
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 2: Well.

25
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: Last week I spent the week in Hawaii on a

26
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: much needed family vacation. It was amazing. The whole point

27
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: was to bring my mom. She had never been to

28
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: an island and it was her dream to go to

29
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: an island. And so I said, you know what, We're

30
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: going to Hawaii. And we actually had this trip planned

31
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. But on the way out,

32
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: and I know my mom's going to be embarrassed for

33
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: me telling this story, she actually tripped over her suitcase

34
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: on the way to get to the airport. So she

35
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: had her suitcase in the hallway at her place and

36
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: she just didn't remember that it was there. She tripped

37
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: and got pretty pretty banged up, and so she could

38
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: not go on the trip three years ago. So we

39
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: redid the trip, brought her this time. We said do

40
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: not put your suitcase in a main area, and she didn't.

41
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: She made it. It was great. We had a fantastic time.

42
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: I tell you that because I had You know, whenever

43
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: I'm on vacation, I do try to disconnect but of

44
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: course I have lots of thoughts in the process. So

45
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: I did wear the vision Pro on the plane out there,

46
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 1: and yeah, it was weird, just as weird as you

47
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: might imagine. It was cool, and you know, putting it

48
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: on was the weirdest part. Thankfully, we had the whole

49
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: row to ourselves, between my whole family, and so it

50
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: wasn't that strange to put it on next to a stranger.

51
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: But once you get it on, you have to make

52
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: sure that it's in this travel mode. Otherwise everything's going

53
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: to be flying past you. Because it senses the movement.

54
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: It feels like you are moving, so all the stuff

55
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: inside is moving. Now. Thankfully Apple is smart enough to

56
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: build in some software that figures out when you're on

57
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: a plane, because it only moved for about a second

58
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: before I said, hold on, do you want us to

59
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: put this thing into travel? And I said yes, please.

60
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: So I watched a TV show. Now, whatever I tried

61
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: to download on Max did not work, so I was

62
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: relegated to my apples Apple TV Plus show. I forget

63
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: what the name of it was, Royal Palms or something,

64
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: and it looked great. And the cool thing was I

65
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: discovered you can actually decide where you want to sit

66
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: in the movie theater when you're watching a show, so

67
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: it had you can sit close up to the screen

68
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: in the middle, in the back, or up on the balcony,

69
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 1: and then you can say I want to sit left

70
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: or right. So that was kind of cool and the

71
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: show looked great and it really did take me off

72
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: the plane and kind of into my own world. So

73
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: no matter what seat you're in, whether it's a big

74
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: seat a small seat, anyone's around you, you really don't notice.

75
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: The other thing is I tried the in flight Wi

76
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: Fi so Southwest that's what I flew on. They have

77
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: just like you know, movies and TV shows that you

78
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: can stream through their Wi Fi without paying, And I

79
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: was like, huh, I wonder if that works inside like

80
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: the web browser, And sure enough it did. The only

81
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: thing I noticed with the Southwest WiFi was a it

82
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: was very very slow. I was even able to do

83
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: my email on the way back. On the way there,

84
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: I didn't connect. On the way back, I did, and

85
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: it was so slow I had to stop using it.

86
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: And the other thing is that you can't swap devices.

87
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: So I started on my computer and I was like, oh,

88
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: it'd be nice to have my phone connected and I

89
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: couldn't swap devices otherwise. Kind of interesting experience. Now, the

90
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: bigger revelation I had when I was in Hawaii is

91
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 1: that we are all contributing to job automation. Let me

92
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: tell you what my thesis is. If you don't bring

93
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: something uniquely human to your job, you are going to

94
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: be automated out of your job. Let me say that again,

95
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: If you don't bring something uniquely human to your job,

96
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: you are going to be automated out of a job.

97
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: Let me explain for starters. I tagged my own bag

98
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: at the airport. I have never done this before, but

99
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: you get to the airport typically now we are all

100
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: checking in on those kiosks. Well, now the second step

101
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: is it spits out a bag tag. So I am

102
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: there as a flight attendant or whatever you call the

103
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: people at the you know, helping you there, tagging my

104
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: own bags like I'm literally an airline employee. Now how

105
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: do I know how to tag a bag? And it

106
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: took me a little bit, but I figured out you

107
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: kind of take the sticker off, you put it on,

108
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: you get it right. And I had to redo it

109
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: a couple of times. But here I am checking bags

110
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: in to an airline. How would I ever think that

111
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: I would be doing that. But again, there is no

112
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: human element that would make that process better. So it's automated, right.

113
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: It's like clearly with all these bags that people are

114
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: checking in themselves, it all sort of works out. So

115
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: that's automated. On the plane, the flight attendants were so

116
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: kind and so nice. They decorated the whole plane. We

117
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: flow out on Easter. They decorated the whole plane with

118
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: Easter eggs. They gave us candy, they gave us snacks,

119
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: They were talking to the kids. They were so nice.

120
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: My mom, who had never flown Southwest, said they are

121
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: such a nice airline. They are so friendly, and I said, yeah,

122
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: that's what will keep those people's jobs. Now, the pilot

123
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: of the plane, I know nothing against the plight. They

124
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: got us there safely. But I will tell you there

125
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: are some pilots that sort of describe the flying process

126
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: to you and some that just fly. The ones that

127
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: just fly probably going to be automated at some point.

128
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: The ones that are kind and say, hey, look we're

129
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: flying over the Grand Canyon. Take a look outside the

130
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: right of your plane, they will always be there because

131
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: they bring something uniquely human to the experience. What are humans?

132
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: What do we want? We want connection, We want a smile.

133
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: Bobo every week comes to this show with a smile

134
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: on his face and an attitude that you can't get

135
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: from a computer. He will always have a job. There

136
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 1: are some people at your work that are always saying,

137
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: TGI Friday, Thank God it's Friday. On Monday, they're talking

138
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: about looking forward to the weekend. They're wearing a shirt

139
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: that says is it Friday?

140
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 3: Yet.

141
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: These are the kind of things that will be automated

142
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: in the future, and we're all contributing to it because

143
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: we're already doing this. Okay, we went to a restaurant.

144
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: We went to a restaurant and the waiter comes up.

145
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: The waiter is not nice, and they don't write down

146
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: our order. Now I have a little pet peeve about

147
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: waiters not writing down orders because I order my things

148
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: very specifically. I want egg whites, I want them well done,

149
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: I want this, then that whatever. So when someone doesn't

150
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: write it down nine times out of ten, it's gonna

151
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: be wrong when it comes to your table. So here's

152
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: the difference. Why would I not want to order on

153
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: an iPad. Now we're talking breakfast at a fast casual place.

154
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: We're not talking a fancy dinner here, but breakfast. Why

155
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: would I not want to order my breakfast off a

156
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: tablet right when I get to the table because I

157
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: want my breakfast fast, I'm ready to eat, I want

158
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: my coffee. I don't need to wait ten minutes for

159
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: a waiter to show up. I don't need to wait

160
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: for someone to be rude to me at nine am

161
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: when I'm just waking up. So what's the benefit there

162
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: is none. You literally just need your order in and

163
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,679
Speaker 1: someone to run you your food. And we're already seeing

164
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: robots running orders at restaurants. I was at a CPK

165
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: where the robot came to my table with our order. Yeah,

166
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: it's already happening. And again, as humans, if we don't

167
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: mind that part of the experience, we are automating these

168
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: jobs out of existence. Now again, when we were at

169
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: a restaurant our final night there, we went to this

170
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: amazing restaurant sort of like Japan meets Italy meets meets Hawaii.

171
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: It was a great chef, brand new place, and the

172
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: waiter was fantastic. What do we talk about the entire

173
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: night was how great the waiter was. That waiter will

174
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: always have a job. You see where I'm getting at here,

175
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: touch screen systems. We were at McDonald's. We ordered on

176
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: touch screen. We didn't need someone to take our order there.

177
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: We just wanted to. And the kids love it, the

178
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: digital natives as they call it, my kids, they grew

179
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: up with this technology. No problem there. That job is

180
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: already being automated out of existence. The order taker at McDonald's.

181
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: Some McDonald's had been to you can't even order from

182
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: a human being. It's already gone. Ah, what else? What else?

183
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: What else? Oh? Other examples Peloton Right, took a Peloton

184
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: ride this morning. What makes me want to take a

185
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: Peloton ride versus some automated ride that I can get

186
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: from a multitude of apps on my phone. The instructor.

187
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: The magic of Peloton has always been the personality of

188
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: the instructors, and they know it. People tune in for

189
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: their favorite Peloton instructors. They will always have a job.

190
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: There are millions of people out there working jobs right

191
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: now that bring nothing to the table except being a human.

192
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: You have to add something that's human for your job

193
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: to not go away. DJs on a radio station. Some

194
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: people love their favorite DJ. This goes for news anchors too.

195
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: You can get your news read by an automated voice today.

196
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: You don't even have to tune into this show. You

197
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: can literally have the top ten techt stories read to

198
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: you by a synthesized voice right now. What makes this

199
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: different Listening for what I bring to the show, Listening

200
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: to what your favorite DJ has to say, Listening for

201
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: that human connection, that human experience. One more example. The

202
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: house keep her at our hotel so kind. We built

203
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: a relationship with this woman, unlike any relationship we've had

204
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: with the housekeeper. By the end of the trip, not

205
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: only was she getting a bigger and bigger tip every

206
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: single day, she knew our kids' names, she was leaving,

207
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: she was decorating our room. She was leaving notes for

208
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 1: my children. Every time we saw her in the hallway,

209
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: she'd say hello to my kids by name my mom.

210
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: She knew when we were leaving, what we were doing,

211
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: She asked where we went. She gave us first DIBs

212
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: on pool toys that someone else left in their room, which, again,

213
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: that is a human experience. That person will always have

214
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: a job the rest of them. I don't know, maybe

215
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: they're sending a roomba into the room starting, you know,

216
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: maybe are there cleaning robots. Remember Rosie was from the Jetsons. Oh,

217
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: one more example, before we go to break the taxi.

218
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: We got into a taxi. So my wife gives me

219
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: grief sometimes because I do things like the techie way

220
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: all the time, right, And so I'm like, you know what,

221
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna wave down a taxi outside the hotel

222
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: and have the taxi take us toward destination. We do that.

223
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,599
Speaker 1: The taxi driver, as soon as they hear my destination

224
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: starts complaining about how short of a distance it is,

225
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: and he's not happy to take us in that short distance.

226
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: And my kids are sitting there and they understand the tension,

227
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: and my mom and we're all just sitting there like,

228
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: is this our fault that we're only going, you know,

229
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: ten minutes away and not to the airport or whatever.

230
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: And he's grumbling and grumbling and grumbling, and I'm sitting

231
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: there thinking, this is why WEIMO is gonna take over.

232
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: This is why I'd rather be in an uber where

233
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: I call the car from my phone. I can pay

234
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: for my phone, and with an Uber or a way

235
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: moo you can set you know, do you want to talk?

236
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: Do you not want to talk again? If you bring

237
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: that human existence. I've had taxi drivers or uber drivers

238
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: that are so good you don't want the ride to

239
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: end because they're entertaining, they're fun. They bring something to

240
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: the experience, bring something to the experience, and you will

241
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: always have a job. Eight eight eight rich one oh

242
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight seven four to two four one

243
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: zero one. So much to get to today's show. So

244
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: glad you're with me. You are listening to rich on Tech.

245
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here talking

246
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: technology with you at triple eight rich one oh one.

247
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: That's eight eight eight seven four two four one zero one.

248
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: Website for the show rich on Tech dot tv feedback

249
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: is open. So if you want to comment on my

250
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: new thesis about how we're all automating jobs out of

251
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: existence and how you can keep yours, let me know.

252
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 4: Just go to the.

253
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: Website and hit contact and I will hopefully get to

254
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 1: it on the show. Sounds like Chuck and Pasadena has

255
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: a comment on what I was just talking about. Chuck,

256
00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: welcome to the show.

257
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 5: Thanks for having me Rich. Yeah, it was a fun experience.

258
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 5: I went to that restaurant in Pasadena that where the

259
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 5: robot makes the hamburger and fries.

260
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: Oh Flippy, this is Flippy the robot. That makes sense.

261
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: I did a story on this a couple of years ago.

262
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: But now they've got a restaurant that actually you can

263
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: go in and order.

264
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's on Green Streams called Cali Express by Flippy.

265
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 5: It's right on the corner, and it's pretty cool. It's

266
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 5: a museum like experience where you walk in and yes,

267
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 5: the food is awesome and interesting, but everybody goes there

268
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 5: to see the robot make the cheeseburgers and the fries,

269
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 5: and you know, while people are waiting there taking videos

270
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 5: and pictures, and it's kind of a real fun experience.

271
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 5: In the bonuses, the food is fantastic. You wouldn't think

272
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 5: a cheeseburger or fries would be any better than you've

273
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 5: ever had, but they're cooked at perfection. And I actually

274
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 5: left the restaurant walk back and asked the guy the

275
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 5: lone employee work, and they're why it's so good, and

276
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 5: he chalks it up to AI and the fact that

277
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 5: they've really got to dialed into how long to cook

278
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 5: it and what temperature?

279
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 6: Wow?

280
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: And so do you think that this will become a

281
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: trend where robots will be doing more of the cooking.

282
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: I know we see at Chipotle they are experimenting with

283
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: They have like a guacamole making robot, and I think

284
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: they have a chip robot as well. And then I

285
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: know Sweet Green is also experimenting. They have a location

286
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: in Orange County, California for the non California listeners that

287
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: makes these salads automated. So you know, Sweet Green is

288
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: a salad place with a bunch of different mix ins

289
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: and stuff, so you just choose what you want and

290
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: the robot makes it. Do you think we're going to

291
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: see this as a trend? Did you mind not having

292
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: the human connection?

293
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 5: No, That's why I winter was to see how well

294
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 5: it worked. And I felt like you discussed you know,

295
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 5: when I'm going into order my breakfast or have somebody

296
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 5: glare at me because I'm not ordering enough or taking

297
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 5: too long, or I'm there too early or too late.

298
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 5: I don't need that. So I've always wondered why they

299
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 5: can't have a And that's no offense the people, but

300
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 5: you know, people slapping together a big mac you know,

301
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 5: I've always wondered why that process in the back can't

302
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 5: be automated, and now we know that it can. And

303
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 5: you know, I think down the road will look back

304
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 5: if somebody listens to the podcast many months or years

305
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 5: from little wonder why we were so amazed. So I

306
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 5: kind of wanted to see it while it's new and fresh,

307
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 5: and I encourage anybody to go there and just at

308
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 5: least check it out.

309
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I remember when I went there, it

310
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: was pretty rough around the edges. They were just I mean,

311
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: it was first day, but it was pretty cool, and

312
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: it just goes to show that. And by the way,

313
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: I think White Castle is also using Flippy in their

314
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: process as well. And right now it's much more I'm

315
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: seeing like a combination of humans and robots working together.

316
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: But you can be guaranteed in the future it will

317
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: be much more robots. Especially these companies, you know, they

318
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: want to make money and they want to make more money,

319
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: and so they're going to do everything they can to

320
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: squeeze as much out of their profits as possible. So Chuck,

321
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: thanks for the report from Pasadena. I appreciate it.

322
00:15:59,480 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 7: Thank you.

323
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to the show. Roku reports that the

324
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: hack we talked about a couple of weeks ago is

325
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: worse than they thought. So initially they said it was

326
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: about fifteen thousand compromised accounts. Now they're saying five hundred

327
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: and seventy six thousand user accounts were impacted, and so

328
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: they've sent emails to a bunch of Roku users. You

329
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: might have gotten one. The attack used the credential stuffing technique.

330
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: This is where hackers find reused logins and passwords online

331
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: and they just try those at roku dot com and

332
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: in a lot of cases it worked. So Roku says

333
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: in less than four hundred cases they made out with

334
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: unauthorized purchases of streaming service subscriptions. We talked about that.

335
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: And also they bought Roku hardware products using the stored

336
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: payment methods. I did not know that aspect, so they

337
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: bought like other Roku devices. So Roku has reset passwords

338
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: for the impacted accounts. They've notified effective affected customers with email,

339
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: and they will be implementing two factor authentication for all accounts.

340
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: They should have done that from the beginning. If you

341
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: don't have two factor enabled on your accounts, enable it.

342
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 1: They said that the hackers did not get the credit

343
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: card numbers, so they did not get those or complete

344
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: payment details. But again this is still evolving. Or initially

345
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: they said fifteen thousand compromise, now they're saying five hundred

346
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: and seventy six thousand, and Roku has millions upon millions

347
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: of users. So my advice the next time you log

348
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: into Roku, make sure you use a strong, unique password

349
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: that you generate just for that website, and definitely consider

350
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: using a password manager. It can really help in instances

351
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 1: like this. Eight a eight rich one oh one eight

352

Speaker 1: Coming up, we're going to talk Eclipse. I know what's happened.

354
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: Dave Malkoff, CBS News reporter was there. He's going to

355

Speaker 1: talk about his experience and I'll tell you the impact

356
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 1: the eclipse had on Internet traffic. It's all coming up

371
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: this past week was the total solar eclipse. I did

372
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: miss it, unfortunately. I know I talked it up. I

373
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: know I said I wanted to go. It just wasn't realistic.

374
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: I was flying back from Hawaii the day before and

375
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: it was really a tight turn to get anywhere to

376
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: see this thing. But it did have an impact on

377
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: Internet traffic nationwide and really a lot of reports from

378
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 1: cloud flare. This was on April eighth, twenty twenty four.

379
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,959
Speaker 1: Traffic dropped in the US by eight percent and twelve

380
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: percent at the peak of the eclipse compared to the

381
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: previous week. States in the path of totality like Vermont, Arkansas, Indiana, Maine,

382
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: New Hampshire, and Ohio experienced traffic drops of forty percent

383
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: or more. What does this all tell us if there's

384
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: something cool happening outside. We are ready to ditch our

385
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: keyboards and go check it out. And I hope you

386
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: did that without ruining your eyes. Now, someone who was there,

387
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: good friend of mine, CBS News National correspondent Dave Malkoff. Dave,

388
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: welcome to the show.

389
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 2: Well thanks for having me Rich.

390
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 8: This is the new sub segment called two TV News

391
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 8: Geeks Geek out of had TV News Gear.

392
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 2: Right.

393
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: I was gonna I was gonna call you a geek.

394
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: I figured you'd be okay with that. You are geekier

395
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: than I am. In fact, you're the person that made

396
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: me I'll never forget. We were both working at k

397
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: CAL nine and you showed me like you did like

398
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: a what's in my bag? Before that was like a

399
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: thing on YouTube, and you're you're showing me all this

400
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: cool gear that you carry around. You're like, I can

401
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: go live from anywhere with all of this. And ever

402
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: since that day, my backpack has been triply heavy because

403
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: I carry so much stuff in my bag because of you,

404
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: Dave Malcoff, I have cursed you with the curse.

405
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, it's it's it.

406
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 8: And the funny thing is how that bag just changes

407
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 8: over the years as the technology gets better, but I

408
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 8: don't think anything gets lighter though. I think it's just

409
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 8: as heavy as it was before, because as we swap

410
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 8: out things, we swap in morse things that because of

411
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 8: the technology that is available today that wasn't available, you know,

412
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 8: fifteen years ago or so exactly.

413
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: So true. Yeah, my bag has not gotten lighter, even

414
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: though the gadgets have gotten smaller. I just carry more

415
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: of them. So where were you for the total?

416
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 8: I was in downtown Cleveland, and we're right between the

417
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 8: Rock Hall of Fame. If you've ever been to downtown Cleveland,

418
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 8: I grew up there. And then we're right between the

419
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 8: Rock Hall of Fame and then there's the Science Center,

420
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 8: the Great Like Science Center, which also has the John

421
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 8: Glenn NASA Visitor Center that's now inside the Science Center,

422
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 8: and then there's a Brown.

423
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 2: Stadium that's right there.

424
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 8: So I was right in front of the Glenn Visitor Center.

425
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 2: With an astronaut.

426
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 8: And so Steve Bowen has been to the International Space

427
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 8: Station four times. He built it and then he got

428
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 8: to live in it, so he went three times on

429
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 8: Shuttle missions.

430
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: This guy's been to space four times. That is a

431
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: brave man that is a really My kids were asking me, like, Dad,

432
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: if you got the opportunity, would you go to space?

433
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: And I'm like, if it was on a rope maybe,

434
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: like if it was guaranteed, Like I don't want to

435
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: go on that at that little car from uh, you

436
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: know whatever those things are in like Palm Springs, you

437
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: know that like little cable car thing.

438
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 2: Like, oh yeah, yeah, you don't want to go on that.

439
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to go on that. How am I

440
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: going to go to the Moon or Mars? Oh my gosh, Okay,

441
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: So what was this scene like? Was it just wild?

442
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: And described to me? The experience?

443
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 8: So the experience is really cool because I think I

444
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 8: think for a couple of reasons, we spend a lot

445
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 8: of time looking at our phones and kind of delving

446
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 8: into not only our own personal bubble, but maybe like

447
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 8: a political bubble that you're in and you don't really

448
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 8: interact with people outside of those bubbles. But something celestial

449
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 8: like this happening in our solar system that's maybe a

450
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 8: once in a lifetime chance, maybe twice in a lifetime

451
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 8: for anybody who lives long enough to see this. Uh,

452
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 8: We're all just part of one big thing, and I

453
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 8: think you rarely get that, maybe at a concert or something,

454
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 8: but when when you're looking up at the star in

455
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 8: the middle of our solar system and marveling at this

456
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 8: weird coincidence where we have a moon and a Sun

457
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 8: that appear to be the same size because of the

458
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 8: distance between them, the Sun being four hundred times larger

459
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 8: than the moon, but the moon being four hundred times

460
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 8: closer to us. So when they move over each other,

461
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 8: they cancel each other out except for the corona that's

462
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 8: around that. And I'm telling you Rich, it is breathtaking

463
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 8: to witness this and to see your sun at the

464
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 8: middle of your solar system turn off for almost four minutes,

465
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 8: and to see the corona and to see the the

466
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 8: projections coming off of it where we could actually if

467
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 8: you if you watch the full four minutes or three

468
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 8: minutes forty nine seconds I think it was, you can

469
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 8: see one of these from the side of the Sun

470
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 8: just becoming a big loop because of the Sun's magnetic

471
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 8: atmosphere that has in it called the corona. You can

472
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 8: see this happen right in front of your eyes, and

473
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 8: it's something you never get to see, and we all

474
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:21,479
Speaker 8: experienced it together, maybe like thirty thousand people. They were

475
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 8: saying in Cleveland and then all over these areas that

476
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 8: weren't supposed to get totality, but they did.

477
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: Wow, that's amazing. Oh so some places were a little

478
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: surprised they still got it. Interesting, I mean, it's really

479
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: it's all math. I mean, that's that's another thing, like

480
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: the fact that we can figure these out and when

481
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 1: they're going to happen with such precision is also just

482
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: miraculous in itself. It's not like we've ever measured the

483
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: distance between here and the sun or the moon. I'm

484
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: sure they have in some weird way.

485
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 2: Ninety three million miles.

486
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: Dave, you know too much right off the top of

487
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: my head too.

488
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 2: I didn't even look that up.

489
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: This was your second one though, right.

490
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's and and ritual attests to this.

491
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 8: There are weird things that happened to you when you're

492
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 8: a TV news reporter that would never happen to you

493
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 8: in real life. It's almost like we lived like the

494
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 8: life of a superhero. And and and we're we're in

495
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 8: disguise when we're just home with our family. But the

496
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 8: first one, I was on a cruise ship with Bonnie

497
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 8: Tyler who sings.

498
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 2: Totally clips of the Heart.

499
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: Wow.

500
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 8: And she was singing it to me on the ship

501
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 8: during a live shot and we were singing it together

502
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 8: and uh. And then she went downstairs to a to

503
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 8: a stage that these huge cruise ships are huge, so

504
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 8: they've they've got a stage down there. And she happened

505
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 8: to be with Joe Jonas of the Joe bren Jonas

506
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 8: Brothers and and a d Nce and she was singing

507
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 8: total eclips of the Heart to the rest of the

508
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 8: ship right before totality happened. And and we all saw

509
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 8: it together right there because it went from last time,

510
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 8: it went from Oregon to South Carolina. If each draw

511
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 8: the line in your head and then pops off the

512
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 8: coast and then the meteorologist on board was able to

513
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 8: tell the captain where to steer the ship to get

514
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 8: not only into the path of totality but also outside

515
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 8: of the clouds.

516
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: Oh wow. Yeah, that's always an issue, the cloud cover.

517
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: So when's the next one and are you planning already?

518
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 8: Well, there is one in twenty twenty six, but you

519
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 8: have to go to Iceland and there you could you

520
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 8: can maybe see it in Raykovic. But but I think

521
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 8: you only get like less than a minute of totality.

522
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 8: But if you go up to and I'm gonna mess

523
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 8: this up, Icelandic people are gonna are all.

524
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: The people listening are really going to send me the

525
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: angry emails.

526
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 8: This Schnellfousness Peninsula, and I don't I don't know, you

527
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 8: definitely didn't say that right. But I've been up there

528
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 8: and there's this thing called Arnistappi. That's that's uh, that's

529
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 8: this really cool uh hotel.

530
00:26:58,160 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 2: And kind of village up there.

531
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 8: But it's but it's far enough west on a peninsula

532
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 8: that it's different than in in Reykivik, where you would

533
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 8: only get a few, like a minute or so of totality.

534
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 8: I think you get two minutes in in Arni Stuffy.

535
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 8: I did look at the stopy cottages up there.

536
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 2: Sold out.

537
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 8: Now nobody can nobody can get a seat there. But

538
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 8: but but I think you could rent a van or something.

539
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 8: Maybe you could drive up there.

540
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: There's also one in twenty twenty seven in Egypt, and

541
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: it's going to be the longest duration six minutes twenty

542
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: three seconds August second, twenty twenty seven. So I'm just

543
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: giving you know, ideas for this Dave before we go,

544
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 1: I want to I know you're, like you said, a

545
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: geek self prescribed. Do you have any like apps that

546
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: you love or anything you want to recommend that folks

547
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: should check out.

548
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, there's a there's a few of them that

549
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 8: I use all the time, and one of them is

550
00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 8: flight Radar twenty four. So I love looking at that

551
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 8: because I'm kind of an aviation geek and I like looking.

552
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 2: At where the planes are.

553
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 8: And if you look at this radar, if you look

554
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 8: at this flight Radar twenty four, if you see a

555
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 8: plane flying.

556
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 2: Above you, you can.

557
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 8: See in real time where that plane is going, what

558
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 8: the flight number is, where it came from, even if

559
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 8: it's private aircraft.

560
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 2: And you can also go into a view where you see.

561
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 8: Out the window of the plane and a virtual view,

562
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 8: and just to imagine how many planes are flying over

563
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 8: the United States at once.

564
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 2: It's really cool. And then another one that I use

565
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 2: all the time is let me just see where is

566
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 2: that one? Oh yeah, a radar scope.

567
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 8: So this is live radar because I do a lot

568
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 8: of weather and climate coverage and so when I'm driving

569
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 8: around and I want to see what live radar is happening.

570
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 8: Ahead of me on the road. I always tuned to

571
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 8: a radar scope because it actually shows you the live

572
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 8: radar from the NWS National Weather Service domes that are

573
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 8: all over the country in different spots that they've got

574
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 8: Doppler radar sites everywhere.

575
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: Very very cool, Dave, real quick, How can folks find

576
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:07,800

Speaker 1: eight eight seven four two four one zero one. So

599
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: if you're wondering what's going on with the music this week,

600
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: it's actually AI generated a new website called udio. Udio

601
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: dot com was developed by former Google DeepMind researchers. It

602
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: uses AI to create songs in less than a minute.

603
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: You can type in the type of song you want,

604
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: you can say if you want lyrics, you can even

605
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: paste in your own lyrics and it will generate the song.

606
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: So I generated a bunch of songs that were tech related,

607
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: some with lyrics, some without. You can say you want

608
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: it to be country or pop or whatever genre you want,

609
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: and it's pretty wild. I mean, look, this is like

610
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: second day, third day of this maybe for the public,

611
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: and it's already pretty darn good. They've got big investors,

612
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: will I am Common the guy who co created Instagram

613
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: also a big investor. And it's free, so yes, it

614
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,719
Speaker 1: will be paid at some point. But right now you

615
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: can log into this and if you are dabbling in

616
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: music or you're curious about the AI music generation. This

617
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: is probably one of the better websites that I've seen

618
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: that does it. So I'll be playing the intro music

619
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: throughout the show with courtesy of AI. And it's pretty wild.

620
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a cool thing because it's all unique,

621
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: like that whatever you're hearing has ever been heard in

622
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: the world before. Now, maybe the sound or the way

623
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: it feels you you know, you might recognize, but the

624
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: actual like it's put together on the fly, pretty pretty wild.

625
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: If you want to link to it, Rich on tech

626
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: dot TV hit the light bulb up at the top

627
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: you can get a link to udo udio. Check it out,

628
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: see what you think. Let's go to uh Michelle in Encinitas, California. Michelle,

629
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich.

630
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 10: Good morning.

631
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 5: How are you?

632
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: Good morning? I'm doing fantastic. Thanks for the call. What

633
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:32,239
Speaker 1: what can I help you with?

634
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 10: Okay, So, I'm I want to know what How does

635
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 10: someone become administrator of your email address one that you

636
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 10: created yourself on your own desktop? I was actually doing

637
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 10: I'm pretty sure. Well my husband did this, my soon

638
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 10: to be ex husband, and he made it. He said

639
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 10: it was just a total accident. It was just a fluke,

640
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 10: and I thought you can't just becomes just stumbled upon

641
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 10: something like that, especially when I created it through Outlooks

642
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 10: and these Gmail And then not only did I create it,

643
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 10: I had my email and my email as a backup,

644
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 10: and my phone number as a backup, another email and

645
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 10: my phone number, and then he has this email and

646
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 10: his phone number as now the backup and he's still

647
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 10: administrator of that one, although I don't use it anymore.

648
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 10: But it's been a battle for six months getting to

649
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:32,479
Speaker 10: the bottom of how someone can become administrator of someone

650
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 10: else's email.

651
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: Well, it sounds to me that he had the password,

652
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: because that's really the only way you can't take over

653
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: an email. Well, there's a couple of ways you could

654
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: take over if you're you know, if you knew what

655
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: you're doing, But it sound the easiest way is that

656
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: he either gets the password or he knew the password

657
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: and he added himself on the back end and replaced

658
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: those two key pieces of information the backup email, the

659
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: recovery email, and also the phone number for the account.

660
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: So that would mean that it sounds like two factor

661
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: authentication probably wasn't turned on originally with this account, and

662
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: that's why he was able to evade any sort of

663
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: like detection. Now that's just a theory. I think for

664
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: most people, if you are generating a unique password and

665
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,399
Speaker 1: log in for your account, nobody's going to be able

666
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: to take that over, especially if you have two factor authentication.

667
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 1: Ninety nine percent of the hacks that we see are

668
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: reused password. So they're using a password that they've gotten

669
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: from a data dump somewhere online and they pop it

670
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: into Gmail and lo and behold it works. Or they

671
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: trick you into handing over that information, so they will

672
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: present you with a fake login screen and you will

673
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: log in thinking that it's you're logging into Gmail, but

674
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: really you are logging into just a fake website that

675
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: is now capturing your information and then letting the perpetrator

676
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: see that on the back end, and then they go

677
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: in and log in. Now it gets even more elaborate

678
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: if you do have two factor authentication turned on. Sometimes

679
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: they will present you with that fake website, you will

680
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: log in, that code will come to your phone and

681
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: they will literally call you and say, hey, we notice

682
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: you're having trouble logging into your Gmail. We just sent

683
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: you a code, please read us that code, and they

684
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: will type in that code on their end and then

685
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: log into your account, even bypassing that two factor authentication

686
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: that you have set up to protect yourself. So that

687
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: is why on almost every single two factor authentication text

688
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 1: or email you get, it says do not share this

689
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: with anyone. We will never verbally ask you for this,

690
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: and that is true. So if anyone ever asks you, hey,

691
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: can you give me that two factor code that we

692
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,760
Speaker 1: just texted you, unless you trust them one hundred percent.

693
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,760
Speaker 1: Like sometimes banks will do that as a secondary form

694
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 1: of authorization. When you call them, they will say, Okay,

695
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: we're going to text you a number. Read us that number.

696
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: But generally, if it's an automated system, nobody's calling you

697
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: for that phone number. But these people are tricky. They

698
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: study this stuff. They study to see what we do

699
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 1: and how we do it, and they look for the

700
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: holes and they try to figure out how to get

701
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: around it. Soress. My advice, Michelle is to regain that

702
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: account as yours somehow. Either tell him, hey, look, I

703
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 1: need this account and then go in and either delete

704
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 1: that account. You said you don't use it, but I

705
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 1: get rid of it. So that it's not an issue anymore.

706
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call today. Eight eight eight rich one

707
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 1: oh one eight eight eight seven four to two four

708
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: one zero one. Let me tell you this before we

709
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: go to break here. LGTV owners, if you have an LGTV,

710
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 1: you need to update your firmware. There is a four

711
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: severe vulnerabilities affecting the software of four lg smart TV models.

712
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go through all the model numbers

713
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: and things like that, but the point is if you

714
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: have an LGTV, just go ahead, connect it to the

715
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: Wi Fi if you haven't done that, and just update

716
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: the and just make sure that it's up to date.

717
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: And then if you're not using the smart features on it,

718
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: you can disconnect it again. But the vulnerabilities, you know,

719
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: it could be bad, so definitely go into your menu.

720
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 1: If you have an LGTV, just update the firmware. That

721
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: way you are protected. They have released a firmware update

722
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: to address these security issues on these TVs. You are

723

Speaker 4: Desktop on laptop and I was able to get no

762
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 4: problems until my laptop crashed and I had to reset

763
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 4: my The whole thing problem is now on the desktop,

764
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 4: I can get into my Discover card no problem by

765
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 4: using the same credentials. Well, my laptop, it doesn't work

766
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:03,479
Speaker 4: it Keith says, I got correct the findings. Where should

767
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 4: I look for the problem?

768
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: Interesting? So is this an auto fill situation? Is it

769
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: auto filling the the information for the password?

770
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 4: It did?

771
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: Ye?

772
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 4: Use its I actually copied a thumb drive up, I

773
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 4: copied the info from my desktop or does the thumb

774
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,839
Speaker 4: drive came down and put it into my laptop and

775
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 4: pasted it in there and it still kicks me out?

776
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: Okay, So I think there's a there's got to be

777
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: a character in there that is not like a rogue character.

778
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: So sometimes when you copy and paste across things, it

779
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: could pick up a character or two. You know, depending

780
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: on how you exported, there could be a space in there.

781
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: Just there's a lot of things that that may be

782
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: wrong there. So my advice a couple of things to

783
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: do here to try to figure this out. Number one,

784
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 1: you should try using a private browser window first off,

785
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 1: to try to log in. So there there's a couple

786
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: of things that interfere with logins. A lot of times.

787
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: It's an ad blocker that will mess with a like

788
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: if you're ever having trouble with any website, these are

789
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: the things that could be going wrong. Number one, an

790
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: ad blocker that could be keeping some key information off

791
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,800
Speaker 1: of that website. So disable the ad blocker, refresh the website,

792
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: and try again. So that's the first step. Number two,

793
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: Basically it's all your extensions. Any extension could potentially interrupt

794
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,280
Speaker 1: a web page depending on that interaction with that extension.

795
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 1: So that's why I always try a private browsing window first.

796
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: So use the private browsing window. So go to file

797
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:38,439
Speaker 1: new If it's Chrome incognito window, use that to log

798
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: into the website first and if that still doesn't work,

799
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: and then obviously type in the password. So figure out

800
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,280
Speaker 1: what this password is for this site, write it down

801
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: somewhere or whatever, and then type it in manually. Sometimes

802
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: you might have the capslock keyon. There could be a

803
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,280
Speaker 1: lot of things that might go wrong in that password process,

804
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: so make sure you're typing it in and then see

805
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 1: if that works. If that doesn't work, sometimes it's the cookies.

806
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 1: So if you have third party cookies blocked on a website,

807
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 1: which I do, that means that sites can't track you

808
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: from site to site. That could interfere with your login.

809
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: But it's mostly And the other thing is is really

810
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,280
Speaker 1: a VPN. So if you're using a VPN, sometimes sites

811
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: don't like that, especially secure websites like a Discover site.

812
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,760
Speaker 1: They do not like VPNs because someone could be running

813
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 1: a VPN that might be nefarious and doing something wrong

814
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: and they want to evade detection, so they might use

815
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: a VPN. Now I'm not saying every website, but these

816
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: are the things that I've encountered over the years that

817
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,919
Speaker 1: would impact my login. But ninety nine percent of the time,

818
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: if it's a copy and paste situation, I'm adding some

819
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 1: sort of extra letter or a space to that log in.

820
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: Or sometimes when I when I actually exported all my

821
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: passwords from an old password manager, there was a bunch

822
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: of random characters that did not make it properly, and

823
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: so I forget what the characters were. But I know

824
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 1: if you know like Unicode or all this stuff, like

825
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: the technical stuff, you would know these characters. But every

826
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: time there was like a specific character, whether it was

827
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: an I don't know, if it's like a semi colon

828
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: or something, it would change it to something else. So

829
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: just make sure that you're entering the right password and

830
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,919
Speaker 1: that should take care of it, especially in that incognito mode.

831
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: And if it works there, you know it's working on

832
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: that laptop. Now you just have to get it to

833
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: work on your main browser. But good question, Jerry. Thanks

834
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: for the call today from Pennsylvania, and have a great day.

835
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: Let's go to Virginia in Utica, New York, Virginia. You're

836
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 1: on with Rich Hi.

837
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 2: Rich Hi.

838
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:44,839
Speaker 12: Question is about AOL In the beginning of time, I

839
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 12: opened up five email accounts, three for myself and two.

840
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:50,240
Speaker 13: For my daughter.

841
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: Okay, was that like a present for her? Was that

842
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,359
Speaker 1: like a birth present? When she was born. You open

843
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 1: them up or what?

844
00:43:59,080 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 13: No?

845
00:43:59,400 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 8: When I ope?

846
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 12: The AOL account is that I could have five sot

847
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 12: it one account, got it? Okay, your thoughts on AOL

848
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 12: versus I also have a Google account.

849
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,839
Speaker 1: I'd switch to the Google at this point. I mean,

850
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 1: I get a lot of emails from people that still

851
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 1: use Aol. Maybe not as much anymore, but you know,

852
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 1: there are Look, there's nothing wrong with it. I just

853
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 1: think there's a better email experience out there, and I

854
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 1: think Google has the best. So it's searchable, it's simple,

855
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 1: it's not cluttered. You know, I watch people that are

856
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 1: logging into their AOL email. I'm not going to name names,

857
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: but I know some some people pretty close to me

858
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 1: that still use that, and it's it's a messy experience.

859
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: It's not very good. It's just it's not clean. It's

860
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: not nice. And honestly, I don't want to be like

861
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: the person that says having an AOL email address kind

862
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 1: of reveals a lot about you. But you know what

863
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,839
Speaker 1: I'm talking about, right, Virginia. When you when you tell

864
00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 1: people when you're at the doctor's office and you're like,

865
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 1: what's your email? And they're like, You're like, at a

866
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: well dot com. You know, you get that little look,

867
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: you know, like, are you.

868
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:07,879
Speaker 12: Allowed to two different.

869
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 4: Ones at Google?

870
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 12: So you can't, you know, one for shopping and one

871
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 12: for important stuff.

872
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 1: Okay, So what I would do in that case is

873
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: Google has this neat thing that you can add a

874
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: plus sign to any email address. So, for instance, if

875
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: your email address is uh, you know Virginia, you know,

876
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: Virginia A at gmail dot com, you can type that

877
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: into a website. And let's say you go shopping on Wayfair.

878
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:39,879
Speaker 1: You can type Virginia A plus Wayfair at gmail dot

879
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: com and that will still come through to your Gmail

880
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: as a regular email address. And you can do that

881
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: unlimited amount of times. So let's say you sign up

882
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 1: for the rich on Tech newsletter, right, you can you

883
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: can type in and you say, I don't trust this

884
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: rich guy with my email address, right, so I'm gonna

885
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 1: give him a an email that's a little bit more disposable.

886
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,240
Speaker 1: So you can type in Virginia plus rich on Tech

887
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: at gmail dot com and that will come to your

888
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 1: standard Virginia at gmail dot com email address. You see

889
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 1: what I mean. So anything after you can add a

890
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 1: plus sign to your email address along with any letters

891
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 1: you want, and that will be a separate email and

892
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: it will all come to your regular inbox. Now here's

893
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: the magic of that. You can now, of course they

894
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 1: don't have your real email address, so if you're on

895
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: a list, you can just go ahead and filter that

896
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 1: email address to trash if they keep emailing you with

897
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: you know, you can't figure out a way to unsubscribe,

898
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: or you can use it to filter that into different things,

899
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: so you can you know that all your shopping emails

900
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 1: are Virginia plus shopping at gmail dot com, and you

901
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: give that to Macy's and you know, home Depot and

902
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: whatever you sign up for, and so it can help

903
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 1: you organize. So it's a neat little thing that's sort

904
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,319
Speaker 1: of built in. There's also a bunch of websites that

905
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: can that can help you generate an email that you

906
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: just need temporarily. So if you're using Gmail and you

907
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 1: just need an email address to like sign up for

908
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: something shared this last week on the show. But it's

909
00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: called ten minutemail dot com and that makes up a

910
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 1: temporary email address that you can use to let's say,

911
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: you know, has this ever happened to you? Where you

912
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: want to get like a twenty percent off coupon, but

913
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: you don't really want to sign up for the mailing list,

914
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 1: so you go to this website ten minute mail dot com.

915
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: You give them that email address that they generate on

916
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,399
Speaker 1: the fly, and you can check that email for ten

917
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 1: minutes on that website and you can get that that

918
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: coupon code or whatever you need, and then you don't

919
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 1: even have to do anything. It just deletes after ten minutes.

920
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 12: Okay, all right, so those are some of the close

921
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 12: my account.

922
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:35,319
Speaker 1: Oh, closing AOL. Okay, So there's a website that I like.

923
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:39,799
Speaker 1: It's called just delete me dot x y z, And

924
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: if you go there and you type in AOL, it's

925
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 1: actually quite easy. A account gets deactivated for a waiting

926
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 1: period of thirty to one hundred and eighty days depending

927
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: on your country, and then it's permanently deleted, and it

928
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 1: gives you the link to delete that email address. So

929
00:47:56,160 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 1: the link is, let's see here, it's uh yeah, it

930
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 1: goes to like a special dashboard, my dashboard dot oath

931
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 1: dot com. So you can use that link, but you

932
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 1: can go to this website just delete me dot x

933
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 1: y z, and that will give you the direct link

934
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 1: to delete your AOL, and not just for AOL, but

935
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 1: for any website. So, and I don't think there's really

936
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: an issue with keeping the AOL if you want to

937
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: just keep it alive for a while, like, there's no

938
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: real reason to to delete it immediately.

939
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 12: Does it delete my daughter's accounts too, if.

940
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: They're all linked up under the same account. Yes, it

941
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 1: would impact her account as well, So all right, I

942
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 1: have to find out. Okay, so maybe you just switch

943
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:34,879
Speaker 1: to Gmail and then she can stick to to what

944
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: she's got with AOL eventually.

945
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 12: Yeah, okay, all right, your thoughts on a beast. I

946
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 12: keep paying for all these and MS? Is it necessary

947
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:47,439
Speaker 12: to have all those?

948
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 1: Uh you're paying for a vast?

949
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 14: Yeah?

950
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, a Vast is actually highly rated. I

951
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: have no problem if you're If you're using that and

952
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 1: you're comfortable with it and it feels like it's a

953
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 1: good price. They do offer a free level of SERVI

954
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 1: if you're If you're happy with it and you feel

955
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 1: like it's protecting a rachine, I think it's okay. I

956
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 1: think it's one of the better ones. If you mentioned

957
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 1: another brand that I don't like, I probably would say

958
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 1: switch or downgrade, But I think if it's if you're

959
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,879
Speaker 1: keeping it up to date and you feel protected, I'd

960
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: say just stick with it, just.

961
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 12: Go ahead and pay for it. Okay, alrighty, thank you,

Speaker 1: and things. I mentioned a bunch of resources in that

986

Speaker 1: Gmail hack when you go to the website, just click

987
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:48,439
Speaker 1: the light bulb up at the top for the real

988
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 1: time links to anything that you hear about. Let's see

989
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 1: Meta this week introducing new tools to combat sex tortion

990
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 1: and also new images on its platform. Now, this is

991
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 1: primarily meant to protect teen users. So there's a new

992
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: feature in Instagram DMS that if you're sending or receiving

993
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 1: nude images, it will blur them out by default, and

994
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 1: if you're trying to send or receive these, it will

995
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 1: ask you to think twice. So if you try to

996
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,360
Speaker 1: send a nude image, it will say hold on, you

997
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 1: know that this is out there forever in the world,

998
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: And if you're receiving one, it will say, hold on,

999
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: do you want to see this for real? Because it's

1000
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:36,359
Speaker 1: you know, it's got some explicit stuff going on in it.

1001
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 1: So nudity protection will be turned on by default for

1002
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:44,800
Speaker 1: teens under eighteen. Adults will also be encouraged to enable

1003
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 1: the feature. And if you're wondering about privacy, it actually

1004
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 1: all happens on device. So they've downloaded some sort of

1005
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 1: AI algorithm to the Instagram app that can detect nudity

1006
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: and it scans your photos as they're going out or

1007
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 1: going in or as received, and it will figure out

1008
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: if there's nudity in those pictures. So this is a

1009
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:10,840
Speaker 1: great first step. I think that this is smart. I

1010
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:14,800
Speaker 1: think that obviously, these tech companies are in a very

1011
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 1: precarious position here because they don't want to be regulated,

1012
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:21,919
Speaker 1: and they know that that regulation is coming, so they're

1013
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 1: trying to do as much as possible, or I should

1014
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: say as little as possible. That they seem like they're

1015
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 1: doing a good job to protect people, but in reality,

1016
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 1: you know, do they really care, Probably to a certain extent,

1017
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 1: But what they want is for people to be on

1018
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 1: these platforms as much as humanly possible. We've mentioned that before.

1019
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:43,800
Speaker 1: But I do think this is a good step because,

1020
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:47,800
Speaker 1: you know, teens. It's interesting because this whole sending nudes

1021
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 1: thing is a way of the world at this point

1022
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 1: for teens and adults. There are a lot of people

1023
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: that think that this is the way that you get

1024
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 1: someone interested in you. This is what you do when

1025
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 1: you start dating. And if you're an adult, you know, look,

1026
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: that's your prerogative. But if you're a teen, you're still

1027
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:07,800
Speaker 1: learning the ways of the world. And this sextortion section

1028
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 1: of it is an interesting twist because a lot of

1029
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 1: times teens will be pressured into sending a nude image

1030
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 1: to someone and then they will, you know, basically that

1031
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 1: person says, hey, you got to now pay me or

1032
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,840
Speaker 1: else I'm going to show this to people, and that

1033
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:26,839
Speaker 1: could lead to a lot of terrible, terrible things, and

1034
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 1: it does every day. I mean, just search sextortion in

1035
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:33,239
Speaker 1: Google News and you'll hear stories about this all the time.

1036
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: Of course, we're also hearing stories about the AI generated

1037
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: nude images that teens are now making of their classmates

1038
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 1: and sharing them around schools, and that's a whole other

1039
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,920
Speaker 1: thing that is beginning to happen and will just continue

1040
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,879
Speaker 1: to happen. So I think this is smart. I think

1041
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: the smartest part about this is that it is enabled

1042
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 1: by defall, and if you're receiving that nude image, it

1043
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 1: is blurred out so that you have the option of

1044
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 1: deleting it or blocking it, or never looking at it

1045
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 1: in the first place. So good job there, Meta for

1046
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 1: doing that. But of course, you know, let's go to

1047
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 1: John in rose Meee. John, you're on with rich Hey

1048
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:15,359
Speaker 1: rich Hey question? Sure?

1049
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 3: Ye trying to you know, as we get tons of

1050
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 3: business cards all the time trying to scan them into

1051
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 3: the Apple Phone contact app. What what would be your

1052
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 3: recommendation for the best app?

1053
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:32,399
Speaker 1: None of them. They're all horrible. I have never come

1054
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 1: across a business card scanning app that I like. I've

1055
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 1: tried them all. I don't even bother anymore, to be honest,

1056
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 1: they're just all horrible. Have you tried some?

1057
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 3: I've tried some before, that little that little gadget where

1058
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 3: you just push it in and scans it, but it's

1059
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 3: just it's yeah, it just doesn't read it well.

1060
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: It never gets it right. So with that said, I'll

1061
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 1: tell you some of the top apps out there, but

1062
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 1: you can try them out. But cove co o v

1063
00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 1: ve is one of them. Card a hq is another

1064
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:08,359
Speaker 1: card hqbiz dot com. Let's see there's another. See ever

1065
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 1: Note also does it. But honestly, every single time in

1066
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:14,840
Speaker 1: the past that I've ever tried one of these things,

1067
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 1: it always gets it wrong and I end up just

1068
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:20,839
Speaker 1: typing in the information myself. I think you're almost better off.

1069
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:24,280
Speaker 1: You know what John is scanning like taking a picture

1070
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 1: of the card, and then you know how the iOS

1071
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,880
Speaker 1: now has like the text ocr like kind of feature

1072
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've seen that, but you can.

1073
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 1: When you take a picture on the iPhone or Android,

1074
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 1: it puts up a little I in the corner that

1075
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 1: will put all the text where you can highlight it

1076
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 1: and copy and paste. I feel like that's almost a

1077
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 1: better way of putting it into your contacts. It's a

1078
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:45,880
Speaker 1: little more manual, but I find that that cops better anyway.

1079
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:47,799
Speaker 1: If you have a thanks for the call. By the way,

1080
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 1: if you have a recommendation for a great business card

1081
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: scanning app, give me a call. Eighty to eight rich

00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 16: You're hanging out with Utah to all Bridge one.

1085
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 1: That's eighty game seven two World one.

1086
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:33,840
Speaker 9: Then this week done that Big del Tech Week.

1087
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 1: Seven weeks Major. You probably know them for things like

1088
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 1: they're cables and charging accessories. They're based in El Segundo, California,

1089
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:43,320
Speaker 1: and this week they held an event called Spring Fling.

1090
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:46,360
Speaker 1: This was a fun career event for high school students.

1091
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: I love this kind of stuff. They had about one

1092
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 1: hundred kids on hand to learn about jobs in the

1093
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 1: tech industry. Take a behind the scenes tour and even

1094
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 1: meet people from cool companies like Google. First Up, I

1095
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:01,520
Speaker 1: talked to Belkan CEO Steven Maloney. What is Belcan all about.

1096
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 17: We're an accessories company. We enhance people's lives through technology.

1097
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 17: We make products that you use every day that you

1098
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:12,800
Speaker 17: may not even think about. Chargers and cables and screen

1099
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 17: protectors for your phones, docs and other things that are

1100
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 17: tech related.

1101
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 1: In a world of sort of Amazon, you know, search

1102
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:24,440
Speaker 1: for something, something's cheaper, how do you compete with all

1103
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 1: of that?

1104
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 17: Boy, you're in you're asking the right question to me,

1105
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 17: because we've spent our entire existence trying to be a

1106
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 17: differentiated company. Right so we've we're standing in our Elsigondo

1107
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 17: facility right now here in El Segundo. We've invested in

1108
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 17: design capabilities, engineering capabilities, and competencies. We think that makes

1109
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 17: us a differentiated company. We do everything under one.

1110
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 1: Roof in house ourselves.

1111
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 17: So you can find lots of cheap imitations out there,

1112
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 17: but Belcan stands for quality and that's what you get

1113
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 17: when you buy a Bulkan product.

1114
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 1: Why open up your facility today to these students.

1115
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 17: Pilcan has invested a lot over the years in things.

1116
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:06,479
Speaker 6: There's a few things we really care about.

1117
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 17: We really care about technology, so we've got an R

1118
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 17: and D facility here with lab space and engineers that

1119
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 17: are working every day to bring great products to market.

1120
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 17: We also care about the environment, so sustainability is really

1121
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 17: important for us, and our products are reflecting that in

1122
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 17: the products that we're shipping right now. We also care

1123
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 17: about the communities that we're in on site. In this location,

1124
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:32,200
Speaker 17: we have a campus for portal learning that we've invested

1125
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 17: in where students have a chance to get competency based learning.

1126
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 17: What we wanted to do today is open it up

1127
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 17: so these students who we have access to facilities like

1128
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:43,280
Speaker 17: ours to be able to learn about what they can

1129
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 17: do in their careers going forward and figure out what

1130
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 17: they wanted to do with their lives and how they

1131
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 17: position themselves for the future.

1132
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 6: What is the outlook in the.

1133
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 1: Tech world right now for students.

1134
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 17: Yeah, I think it's really exciting and it's an exciting

1135
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 17: time to be interested in technology.

1136
00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 6: It's changing and growing every day.

1137
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 17: There's always going to be the need for new thinking

1138
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 17: and new ideas, and I think that people that are

1139
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 17: interested in technology there's gonna be endless opportunities for them

1140
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 17: to find something that they love, and of course I

1141
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:15,919
Speaker 17: think that's the most the most important thing. You find

1142
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 17: something that you love, you lean into it. Technology is

1143
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 17: going to be there and it's going to continue to evolve,

1144
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 17: and I think there's a lot.

1145
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 6: That youth can bring to that in the future.

1146
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 1: Do they get into coding, do they get into design,

1147
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 1: do they get into Where do they start?

1148
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:31,920
Speaker 17: Boy, that's a really great question, because I think there

1149
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 17: are so many opportunities in technology. I think you named

1150
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 17: a bunch there For me. I think it starts with

1151
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 17: finding what you love. If you love to tinker with things,

1152
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 17: maybe electrical or mechanical engineering is something of interest for you.

1153
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 17: Finding what you love and then leaning into that, I

1154
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:51,440
Speaker 17: think is where you should go because there's endless opportunity

1155
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:52,040
Speaker 17: in this space.

1156
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 1: Does AI play a role in your business at this point.

1157
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 6: Yes, of course it does.

1158
00:59:57,080 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 17: I think it's it's interesting to see how A is

1159
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 17: growing and evolving. We have a lot of machine learning

1160
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 17: that we do with some of our products, including finn

1161
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 17: which is a water based management technology that we make,

1162
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:15,040
Speaker 17: So we have that billions of data points that we've

1163
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 17: collected there.

1164
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 6: We're doing more and more every day.

1165
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 17: We've launched products recently that have auto tracking technologies incorporated

1166
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 17: into them that are leaning that direction.

1167
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:27,440
Speaker 6: I think we're all very, very curious to know how

1168
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 6: AI is going to evolve.

1169
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 17: I don't think anybody really knows what it's going to

1170
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 17: mean for the future in technology, but there's no doubt it's.

1171
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 6: Here and it's going to continue to grow.

1172
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:38,040
Speaker 17: We're really pleased to be a part of this sort

1173
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 17: of experience where we have a chance to enable opportunities

1174
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 17: for students to be able to think about their futures.

1175
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 6: We're not going to stop doing that.

1176
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 17: As Belkan, We're proud to be part of the community

1177
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 17: here in Southern California.

1178
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 6: So yeah, we're really pleased to be able to host

1179
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 6: an event like this.

1180
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 1: Did you ever have a moment in your past when

1181
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 1: you attended something or inspired by something and it helped

1182
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 1: your future?

1183
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 9: Sure?

1184
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was.

1185
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 17: Really fortunate when I graduated from ucr I and I

1186
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 17: went to school here in southern California. I wasn't too

1187
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 17: sure what I was going to do, and we had

1188
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 17: simple career fairs at our university, and I attended a couple.

1189
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:16,200
Speaker 17: I think it helped me understand what I wanted to

1190
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 17: do and what I probably didn't want to do, so

1191
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 17: I leaned into that and I was able to get

1192
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 17: my start in finance at first. But then understanding in

1193
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 17: southern California, there's a lot of technology innovation startups all around,

1194
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 17: and I leaned in one into one of those, and

1195
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 17: it kind of, you know, was the path of the

1196
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 17: beginning of the path to where I am today.

1197
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:36,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to put you on the spot here, so

1198
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 1: get ready. Do you have a favorite product that Belcan

1199
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 1: makes that you use and love?

1200
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 17: Sure, the list is long. The products that I love

1201
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 17: right now. The auto tracking stand Pro is the one

1202
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 17: that we just launched. I love it because it integrates software, hardware,

1203
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 17: and firmware all in an experience that's really innovative and

1204
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 17: I think totally differentiated.

1205
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:03,840
Speaker 1: We're excited to see where that product's going to go next.

1206
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:07,840
Speaker 1: I spoke with Elisa Summer O'Hara. She has an interesting background.

1207
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 1: She studied theater for undergrad then she worked for a

1208
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:12,880
Speaker 1: little bit, then she made a switch. She went back

1209
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:13,520
Speaker 1: to grad.

1210
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 6: School and went into the tech field.

1211
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 1: State of the tech world right now for people that

1212
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 1: are wanting a job in technology, is this still a

1213
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 1: good place?

1214
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

1215
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 14: I mean tech is always changing, so I think that

1216
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 14: now is as exciting a time as any other time,

1217
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 14: especially with AI. Inevitably, we need more people with different

1218
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:33,240
Speaker 14: skills and understanding and tech, and I think that will

1219
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:34,640
Speaker 14: only continue.

1220
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,440
Speaker 1: And what does Google get out of being at an

1221
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 1: event like.

1222
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:41,720
Speaker 14: This, Well, for me, because I work on our education team,

1223
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:43,960
Speaker 14: it's so great to spend some time with students and

1224
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 14: hear from them about what they're thinking about how they're

1225
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:50,200
Speaker 14: using our technology in schools. I probably learned more from

1226
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:53,480
Speaker 14: them today than they learned from me, although I hope

1227
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 14: I gave them some advice as to careers in tech

1228
01:02:57,400 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 14: or ways they can think of about following their curiosity.

1229
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 1: So tell me about that first part, careers in tech?

1230
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 1: What do you tell them?

1231
01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:09,800
Speaker 14: I would say that the types of careers in tech

1232
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 14: are really varied. I am not a technical person in

1233
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 14: my role, but I work very closely with our product

1234
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:17,440
Speaker 14: and engineering team. I think we need all sorts of

1235
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 14: people who are passionate about technology and the impact that

1236
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 14: it can have, and we need a lot of different

1237
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:25,440
Speaker 14: skill sets and you can come to a role like

1238
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:28,959
Speaker 14: this from many different angles. One thing that I really

1239
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 14: appreciate about my career is that I've been able to

1240
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 14: follow my curiosity learn new things, and especially in technology,

1241
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 14: the skills you have today are not the ones that

1242
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 14: you're going to need in five years, So following that

1243
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 14: curiosity is really important. I actually had a conversation with

1244
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 14: one of the students who came up. He asked me,

1245
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:49,800
Speaker 14: he wants to study computer science, and he has offers

1246
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:53,320
Speaker 14: from Cornell, cal Poly and USC, And he asked me

1247
01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:56,880
Speaker 14: where he should go to school, and whether computer science

1248
01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 14: was even a good idea now considering what's happened with Ai.

1249
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 14: And first of all, I certainly don't know where he

1250
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 14: should go to school. But when you're thinking about whether

1251
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 14: computer science is a good thing to learn, I think

1252
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:11,200
Speaker 14: the thing you learn in school is more how to

1253
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 14: think right. And there are fundamental skills in addition to

1254
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 14: that from a quantitative perspective potentially or from a communications perspective.

1255
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 14: But what computer science is today is not going to

1256
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 14: be what you're doing tomorrow. But having those fundamental skills

1257
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 14: and really having rigor in your thinking is really what's important.

1258
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:33,919
Speaker 1: What's the biggest question you get from people about working

1259
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:34,400
Speaker 1: at Google.

1260
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:37,600
Speaker 14: I would say the biggest question I get is how

1261
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 14: do I get a job at Google. I feel really

1262
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:43,440
Speaker 14: privileged to have this job and be able to lead

1263
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 14: the team that I lead. I think there are a

1264
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 14: lot of people who think Google is an amazing company.

1265
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 14: We have so many products that people love, and it

1266
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:53,440
Speaker 14: is an excellent place to work. So that is the

1267
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:57,800
Speaker 14: biggest question I get, and I think biggest. My answer

1268
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 14: to that question is almost always, well what are you

1269
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:03,360
Speaker 14: interested in? Because we have so many different people with

1270
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 14: so many different skill sets, and I think being able

1271
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:08,840
Speaker 14: to understand what skills you have and how you can

1272
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:11,760
Speaker 14: apply them are really what will get you to where

1273
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:13,160
Speaker 14: you want to go, whether it is at Google or

1274
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 14: another company.

1275
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:16,919
Speaker 1: There you have it, follow your curiosity and see where

1276
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:19,400
Speaker 1: it leads to. I love meeting people at these types

1277
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:21,680
Speaker 1: of events, especially the students and also the people that

1278
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:24,600
Speaker 1: work at these tech companies. They all have such varied

1279
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 1: interests in backgrounds. It really is fascinating to see how

1280
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 1: it all comes together. Okay, more rich on Tech coming

1302
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:50,400
Speaker 1: with Rich.

1303
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 13: Hi.

1304
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 18: I need to get a new cell phone. I have

1305
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:58,280
Speaker 18: an Android now and I need to save a voicemail.

1306
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:02,440
Speaker 18: It's a very special voicemail. I'm wondering how I can

1307
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 18: do that if I can transfer it and also an

1308
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:09,880
Speaker 18: on a side, I've been saving this voicemail saved safe face,

1309
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 18: and then I can't find it on the regular voicemail call.

1310
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:17,520
Speaker 18: But then I look in the files and I have

1311
01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:21,440
Speaker 18: seen it there, so that's kind of like a second question.

1312
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 18: Right now, it's not saved underneath my voicemail, but prior

1313
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:30,240
Speaker 18: I used to look in the some kind of voicemail

1314
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 18: file and I found it. I'm like, how can I

1315
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:36,400
Speaker 18: How can I send it to my new phone or

1316
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:39,200
Speaker 18: send it to myself in a text or an email

1317
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:40,920
Speaker 18: and downloader on my new phone.

1318
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 1: Okay, well the first the first stop is, well, there's

1319
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:47,760
Speaker 1: a couple ways to this. Number one. The easiest way,

1320
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 1: you know there is share. There is a way to

1321
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:53,960
Speaker 1: save voicemails on the visual voicemail apps. I'm both Android

1322
01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:57,200
Speaker 1: and iPhone, so I'll start with iPhone. I know that's

1323
01:07:57,200 --> 01:07:58,800
Speaker 1: not what you asked for, but you know there's other

1324
01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:01,560
Speaker 1: people that use it, and so so if you're inside

1325
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:06,000
Speaker 1: the voicemail tab on your phone, tap a voicemail and

1326
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:08,440
Speaker 1: that will bring up a whole new kind of screen

1327
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:12,000
Speaker 1: and you'll see that familiar share icon. You tap that

1328
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 1: share icon and you'll see there is an option to save,

1329
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:18,479
Speaker 1: so you can save it to your files, or you

1330
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:21,680
Speaker 1: can share it out to you know, Dropbox or your

1331
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:25,960
Speaker 1: Gmail or whatever you want for safekeeping. So that's number one.

1332
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:29,760
Speaker 1: Now on an Android, the app is you know, there's many,

1333
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:31,840
Speaker 1: many different androids out there, so it's gonna be a

1334
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:33,760
Speaker 1: little bit different depending on them. But you said you

1335
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:37,439
Speaker 1: use a Samsung. They have an app called Voicemail. You

1336
01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:41,040
Speaker 1: tap that voicemail app and once you get in there

1337
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:43,720
Speaker 1: and you see a voicemail, you can either press a

1338
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:46,719
Speaker 1: hold on that voicemail or there may be three dots.

1339
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:50,200
Speaker 1: But you again, there will be a menu for that message,

1340
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:53,120
Speaker 1: and there will be a share icon as well, and

1341
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:56,080
Speaker 1: so you can use that to share out the voicemail

1342
01:08:56,479 --> 01:09:00,000
Speaker 1: to another app like Dropbox or your email account or whatever.

1343
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:03,280
Speaker 1: It will be an audio file. There's also a way

1344
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:06,360
Speaker 1: to look for your voicemails on your phone. So if

1345
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:10,240
Speaker 1: you go into the my files app the internal storage,

1346
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:15,080
Speaker 1: there should be a folder for visual voicemail, and so

1347
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:17,160
Speaker 1: that's another place you can find it. So there's a

1348
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:19,320
Speaker 1: lot of different ways to do it. The other thing

1349
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:22,080
Speaker 1: you could do, Christina, if none of these options work,

1350
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 1: is just have a friend hold their phone near yours,

1351
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 1: play the voicemail out loud, and have them record it

1352
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:32,600
Speaker 1: using their phone. And that's kind of like the easiest

1353
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:36,520
Speaker 1: method that anyone can do without a lot of technology,

1354
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:40,960
Speaker 1: and it'll still save an audio recording of that voicemail?

1355
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:42,599
Speaker 3: Okay?

1356
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:49,480
Speaker 18: Can I about the voicemail app? Is this something I download?

1357
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:52,639
Speaker 18: Or I mean I go to voicemail on.

1358
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:53,839
Speaker 10: The phone app?

1359
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:57,960
Speaker 18: Right, know, the three dots on the top. Is that

1360
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:00,559
Speaker 18: going into my voicemail app? Because I'm you haven't seen

1361
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 18: a share button or any or menu or anything.

1362
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:07,559
Speaker 1: Okay, So if you search your phone, you know how

1363
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:09,800
Speaker 1: to search your phone On the Samsung you swipe up

1364
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:12,760
Speaker 1: and then tap up or says search and search for voicemail.

1365
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:16,560
Speaker 1: You should have a voicemail app, okay, and that is

1366
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:18,240
Speaker 1: a visual voicemail app.

1367
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:19,280
Speaker 10: Okay.

1368
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:21,240
Speaker 18: So I open it up and then look for a

1369
01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:24,040
Speaker 18: menu at the top, and then there should be a

1370
01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:25,120
Speaker 18: share icon there.

1371
01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:27,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, So look for your list of messages. Find the

1372
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 1: message that you're trying to save. It should be in

1373
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:32,200
Speaker 1: this list. Now you may have to refresh a little bit,

1374
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 1: but you know you can scroll through that list and

1375
01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:38,280
Speaker 1: find the message and then find that share icon and

1376
01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:40,920
Speaker 1: save it to your files or share it out. Are

1377
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:43,400
Speaker 1: you seeing your list of messages inside the voicemail app?

1378
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:46,400
Speaker 18: I haven't tried it yet.

1379
01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:48,439
Speaker 1: Oh you're on the phone, okay, so that's probably why.

1380
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:50,960
Speaker 1: But that's the way to do it, and so there's Look,

1381
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:54,759
Speaker 1: there's definitely a way to save these are just audio files.

1382
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:56,800
Speaker 1: There is a way to save them. And I get

1383
01:10:56,800 --> 01:10:59,080
Speaker 1: this question very often from people that have, you know,

1384
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:01,880
Speaker 1: a loved one that left them a message or something

1385
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:04,719
Speaker 1: like that, and they want to keep it forever. So again,

1386
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:07,640
Speaker 1: there are many, many, many ways of doing this. Like

1387
01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:09,920
Speaker 1: I said, the easiest way is to just put your

1388
01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:12,960
Speaker 1: phone on speaker, play the voicemail, and have someone else

1389
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:15,400
Speaker 1: record it and nearby with their phone and then send

1390
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:17,479
Speaker 1: you that file. That's if you can't figure out any

1391
01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:19,800
Speaker 1: other way of doing this. But if you want to

1392
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:22,640
Speaker 1: get the actual real file, there is a way to

1393
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 1: retrieve it, both on iPhone and Samsung. So those are

1394
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:29,479
Speaker 1: the methods. But play around inside that visual Voicemail app

1395
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:32,400
Speaker 1: and you should find a way to export that file.

1396
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:34,880
Speaker 1: What was did you have a second question? Was that

1397
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:36,200
Speaker 1: a second question? You asked?

1398
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:40,040
Speaker 18: Oh, thank you? Well, my second question is I've been

1399
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:42,880
Speaker 18: saving this voicemail forever. And by the way, it's just

1400
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:46,320
Speaker 18: someone who passed away, so sorry to thank you.

1401
01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:47,679
Speaker 10: It was my boyfriend, sad.

1402
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:51,800
Speaker 18: But anyway, I've been saving it and then all of

1403
01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 18: a sudden it's not on the regular voice app.

1404
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:56,280
Speaker 10: But I would.

1405
01:11:55,960 --> 01:12:00,320
Speaker 18: Find it in the files again and then and then

1406
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:04,200
Speaker 18: it's weird. It would still be in my audio file

1407
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 18: in the audio files, but not on the voicemail app.

1408
01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:11,519
Speaker 1: Well, if they get archived, they do just go to

1409
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:14,400
Speaker 1: the audio files inside that my file, so that could

1410
01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:16,719
Speaker 1: be what happened. And after a certain period of time,

1411
01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:19,760
Speaker 1: I'm not sure you press the archive, but maybe at

1412
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:24,439
Speaker 1: auto archived. But you know, voicemails in general, they are

1413
01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 1: not it's not like a guaranteed system to live forever.

1414
01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:29,080
Speaker 1: So it's you know, I do get a lot of

1415
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 1: emails from time to time from people that have lost

1416
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:34,400
Speaker 1: a voicemail because they thought it would stay there forever.

1417
01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:38,519
Speaker 1: They switch carriers, they switch whatever. Typically they will stay

1418
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:41,160
Speaker 1: in the background sometimes but not all of the time.

1419
01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:43,439
Speaker 1: So it really just depends. But I would get this

1420
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:47,160
Speaker 1: voicemail at least, do like today, just do a recording

1421
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:49,200
Speaker 1: of it, like I mentioned, with someone else's phone, like

1422
01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:52,240
Speaker 1: a friend's phone. Just do that just so you have

1423
01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:53,960
Speaker 1: it and then you can delve a little bit deeper.

1424
01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:57,200
Speaker 1: But there's definitely ways to save those voicemails so that

1425
01:12:57,240 --> 01:13:02,200
Speaker 1: you can have it for forever. Christina, good luck and

1426
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:04,559
Speaker 1: keep me posted. So if you if you're successful with this,

1427
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 1: please send me an email on the website. Rich on

1428
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:09,080
Speaker 1: tech dot tv. I want to hear the update. So okay,

1429
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:11,479
Speaker 1: thank you, thanks for the call today, appreciate it. Let's

1430
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 1: go to uh Sam in Sherman Oaks. Sam, you're on

1431
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:15,439
Speaker 1: with Rich.

1432
01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:22,360
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm looking for a indoor TV antenna that's good

1433
01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:25,640
Speaker 5: for just for mainly forgetting local channels.

1434
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:30,920
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, we actually interviewed the CEO of a website

1435
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:35,200
Speaker 1: called Antenna's Direct. I've been recommending them for oh my gosh,

1436
01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:38,880
Speaker 1: like probably fifteen years at least. At this point, they

1437
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:42,000
Speaker 1: actually bought another company, so they bought the other company

1438
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:44,240
Speaker 1: that I recommended as well. So it's all in one.

1439
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:47,400
Speaker 1: But I would go to their website and depending on

1440
01:13:47,439 --> 01:13:50,240
Speaker 1: where you are, you put in your zip code on

1441
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:53,760
Speaker 1: this website. You're in Sherman Oaks, you said, not sure

1442
01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:55,600
Speaker 1: the zip code there, but I'll just put in a

1443
01:13:55,680 --> 01:13:57,200
Speaker 1: random LA zip code here.

1444
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:00,879
Speaker 19: Zero one, nine to one.

1445
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:03,559
Speaker 1: For zero one, okay, nine to one for zero one.

1446
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:05,920
Speaker 1: So you pop in that zip code and it will

1447
01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:09,200
Speaker 1: see it will show you like where you you know,

1448
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:12,559
Speaker 1: the channels that you can get where you're located, and

1449
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:14,560
Speaker 1: you know the antennas that are trying to beam it

1450
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:19,000
Speaker 1: to your house. So you can tap view antennas and

1451
01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:22,719
Speaker 1: it will show you the suggested antennas for your location.

1452
01:14:23,320 --> 01:14:25,680
Speaker 1: And so for you, it looks like you need an

1453
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:30,760
Speaker 1: indoor amplified or an attic one UH and they have

1454
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:33,439
Speaker 1: those ranging anywhere from thirty three dollars up to one

1455
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:36,240
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty nine dollars. And it gives you all

1456
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:38,559
Speaker 1: of the channels that you are able to receive and

1457
01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:42,160
Speaker 1: how far away those channels are broadcasting from you, so

1458
01:14:42,160 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 1: that you can understand how much of a signal. But

1459
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:46,680
Speaker 1: in your area, you're in a very good area. The

1460
01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:50,840
Speaker 1: signals are strong for pretty much every single channel that

1461
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:54,479
Speaker 1: I'm seeing on this list of over there's a lot

1462
01:14:54,479 --> 01:14:59,679
Speaker 1: of channels here. You have one hundred let's see, well, anyway,

1463
01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:01,920
Speaker 1: there's a a lot of channels thirty three transmitters within

1464
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:04,839
Speaker 1: seventy miles of you, and some of those have obviously

1465
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:08,519
Speaker 1: more than one UH station on those channels. So it

1466
01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:10,040
Speaker 1: looks like you're in a pretty good place there in

1467
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:12,559
Speaker 1: Sherman Oaks to get these to get these over the

1468
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:17,519
Speaker 1: air signals. So again the website Antennasdirect dot com and

1469
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:21,880
Speaker 1: Tennasdirect dot com. I'll link it up at Richontech dot TV.

1470
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:25,240
Speaker 1: All right, coming up, I'm gonna explain, oh my pizza error,

1471
01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:28,280
Speaker 1: why I ended up with two pizzas last night thanks

1472
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:31,760
Speaker 1: to the magic of technology. You are listening to rich

1473
01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:44,799
Speaker 1: on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro

1474
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:47,840
Speaker 1: here hanging out with you, talking technology at Triple A

1475
01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:50,680
Speaker 1: rich one on one eight eight eight seven four to

1476
01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:54,360
Speaker 1: two four one zero one. If the music sounds a

1477
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:59,160
Speaker 1: bit unusual today, that's because it has been generated completely

1478
01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:05,960
Speaker 1: by AI. I used a website called udio udio dot com.

1479
01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:08,639
Speaker 1: You type in what you want and it will generate

1480
01:16:08,720 --> 01:16:11,839
Speaker 1: a song. You can even paste in your own lyrics.

1481
01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:14,919
Speaker 1: You can say whatever you want and it will generate

1482
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 1: a thirty second clip. You can make it longer, you

1483
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:19,439
Speaker 1: can remix it, you can change the lyrics, whatever you

1484
01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:22,120
Speaker 1: want to do. It's pretty wild. Some big backers of

1485
01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:24,599
Speaker 1: this website, which just launched this week to the public,

1486
01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:28,679
Speaker 1: and this is the new reality, folks. We are going

1487
01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:32,000
Speaker 1: to see more and more of these things that used

1488
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:35,120
Speaker 1: to be done by highly creative people, at least the

1489
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 1: first draft perhaps done by AI. That's design, that's writing,

1490
01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:46,920
Speaker 1: that's video audio photos. It's pretty wild. Do you want

1491
01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:50,160
Speaker 1: to wish a happy birthday to call screen or Kim?

1492
01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:54,000
Speaker 1: It is her birthday this weekend, so she is going

1493
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:58,360
Speaker 1: to be partying all weekend to celebrate. So happy birthday, Kim.

1494
01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:00,800
Speaker 1: I love that we get. You know, a lot of

1495
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:02,880
Speaker 1: people know Kim from the call screening when they call in,

1496
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:05,880
Speaker 1: so she's kind of gotten a little little name for

1497
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:08,240
Speaker 1: herself on this show and of course the previous show

1498
01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:14,519
Speaker 1: as well. Let's go to Ben in. I don't know

1499
01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:18,120
Speaker 1: if it's La Louisiana. Ben, you're on with Rich?

1500
01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:23,320
Speaker 5: All right, Rich, I'm from La actually, okay, perfect, Los Angeles,

01:17:23,439 --> 01:17:23,760
Speaker 5: got it.

1502
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:29,240
Speaker 20: So I have a ten year old MacBook. I need

1503
01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:34,360
Speaker 20: to basically replace it, said the point where I can't

1504
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:38,680
Speaker 20: update any softler. So I was wanting any recommendation. It's

1505
01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:41,680
Speaker 20: just for personal use, not doing anything to major with

1506
01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:42,240
Speaker 20: the just.

1507
01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:46,840
Speaker 1: You just need a laptop. Yeah, how much do you

1508
01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:47,439
Speaker 1: want to spend?

1509
01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:53,200
Speaker 4: You know, I know MacBooks, so I'm about like three three.

1510
01:17:53,160 --> 01:17:55,520
Speaker 1: Four three or four thousand.

1511
01:17:56,760 --> 01:18:00,920
Speaker 20: I know how a MacBook. They're at Apples, Yeah, yeah,

1512
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:04,479
Speaker 20: I want to back. I'll have Apple products.

1513
01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:06,080
Speaker 1: Okay, So you want and you have you have three

1514
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:10,040
Speaker 1: to four thousand budget for a MacBook Yeah, okay, well,

1515
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:12,040
Speaker 1: I mean get the top of the line, get the

1516
01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:15,080
Speaker 1: best MacBook Pro you can afford. I'd go with the

1517
01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:21,000
Speaker 1: uh uh sixteen inch MacBook Pro and get the best

1518
01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:23,200
Speaker 1: specs that you can for three thousand bucks. I meant

1519
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:26,360
Speaker 1: you kept your last computer for ten years, so I

1520
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:28,120
Speaker 1: would you know it sounds like I mean, even if

1521
01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:29,640
Speaker 1: you do the math, if you keep this one for

1522
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:33,240
Speaker 1: another ten you're talking, you know, three hundred dollars a year.

1523
01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:36,679
Speaker 1: That's three hundred divided by twelve, that's twenty five bucks

1524
01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:39,280
Speaker 1: a month. And I'm not I'm not talking payments. I'm

1525
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:42,200
Speaker 1: just talking because I don't recommend, you know, payments at all.

1526
01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:46,800
Speaker 1: I do recommend buying this if you can outright, and

1527
01:18:46,840 --> 01:18:48,800
Speaker 1: then I'm just saying how much this kind of costs

1528
01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:51,719
Speaker 1: you over those years because you're using a law. But anyway,

1529
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:54,639
Speaker 1: sixteen inch MacBook Pro. They just came out with the

1530
01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:57,960
Speaker 1: the M three chips. I would get one of those,

1531
01:18:58,680 --> 01:19:02,280
Speaker 1: the uh, you know, the base model for that. You're

1532
01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:04,680
Speaker 1: talking twenty four to ninety nine that gets you the

1533
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:07,880
Speaker 1: sixteen inch screen. Let's see what kind of specs they

1534
01:19:07,880 --> 01:19:09,639
Speaker 1: give you for the drive and stuff like that.

1535
01:19:10,479 --> 01:19:12,080
Speaker 20: Do they have one with a touch screen?

1536
01:19:12,479 --> 01:19:15,840
Speaker 1: They do not. And I'll be honest, every time, I'm

1537
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:19,679
Speaker 1: getting more and more upset with Apple because I test

1538
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:22,400
Speaker 1: all these other Windows computers that have all gone touchscreen,

1539
01:19:22,520 --> 01:19:25,720
Speaker 1: and it's it's pretty nice to have that feature. I'm

1540
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:29,800
Speaker 1: testing a sixteen inch Samsung right now, and it's got

1541
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:33,679
Speaker 1: a gorgeous screen and it's touchscreen, and it is slick,

1542
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:38,160
Speaker 1: and it's it's basically Samsung's answer to the MacBook Pro,

1543
01:19:38,280 --> 01:19:42,960
Speaker 1: and it's it's really really nice. That's the Galaxy Book

1544
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:45,479
Speaker 1: four series. But again, you said you've got all Mac

1545
01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:47,360
Speaker 1: so of course you want to stick with that. This

1546
01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:50,960
Speaker 1: for your budget twenty let's say three thousand bucks, you

1547
01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:54,840
Speaker 1: get eighteen gigs of memory, you get their brand new

1548
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:57,160
Speaker 1: M three chip, you get a five hundred and twelve

1549
01:19:57,200 --> 01:19:59,600
Speaker 1: gigabyte storage, which I don't think is that much. I

1550
01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:02,880
Speaker 1: probably ump that up to a terabyte if you can.

1551
01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:04,719
Speaker 1: And then you're going to get the ports that they offer,

1552
01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:08,280
Speaker 1: which is a memory card, you know, headphone HDMI, and

1553
01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:12,120
Speaker 1: a couple of mag Safe ports sorry Thunderbolt ports. So

1554
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:14,640
Speaker 1: that's going to be a really nice computer for that

1555
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:19,200
Speaker 1: price tag. On the cheap end of things, Ben, if

1556
01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:20,559
Speaker 1: you don't want to spend a lot, or if you're

1557
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:22,639
Speaker 1: listening and you don't want to spend as much as

1558
01:20:22,640 --> 01:20:25,400
Speaker 1: Ben is wanting to spend. I think the best deal

1559
01:20:25,479 --> 01:20:29,640
Speaker 1: right now is the M one MacBook Air at Walmart.

1560
01:20:30,120 --> 01:20:32,759
Speaker 1: It is selling for six hundred and ninety nine dollars.

1561
01:20:33,400 --> 01:20:36,080
Speaker 1: That is an incredible deal. I've actually seen it as

1562
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:39,960
Speaker 1: low as six point fifty, so watch that price. Because

1563
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:43,000
Speaker 1: Walmart's offering it for six ninety nine. Some other retailers

1564
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:44,559
Speaker 1: have swooped in and said, you know what, we'll do

1565
01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:48,160
Speaker 1: six fifty. So that I think is the best value

1566
01:20:48,240 --> 01:20:52,600
Speaker 1: for a MacBook Air or a cheap Apple computer is

1567
01:20:52,640 --> 01:20:56,439
Speaker 1: the MacBook Air thirteen inch M one at Walmart six

1568
01:20:56,560 --> 01:20:59,240
Speaker 1: hundred ninety nine dollars. First time that Walmart is selling

1569
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:05,000
Speaker 1: an Apple MacBook and they came out swinging with this

1570
01:21:05,040 --> 01:21:07,479
Speaker 1: price tag. It's a really, really compelling price tag. I

1571
01:21:07,520 --> 01:21:09,519
Speaker 1: think the cheapest we saw it over the holidays was

1572
01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:12,160
Speaker 1: like seven fifty, so it's like fifty dollars cheaper. And

1573
01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:14,040
Speaker 1: if you get it for that six fifty somewhere, if

1574
01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:16,719
Speaker 1: they do that sale again, even cheaper. But for Ben,

1575
01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:19,080
Speaker 1: for you, that sixteen inch MacBook Pro I think is

1576
01:21:19,120 --> 01:21:20,920
Speaker 1: going to be the best. I went with the fourteen

1577
01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:23,439
Speaker 1: inch MacBook Pro and I hate it. It's way too

1578
01:21:23,439 --> 01:21:27,120
Speaker 1: small of a screen. I'm probably gonna upgrade, and I

1579
01:21:27,160 --> 01:21:29,280
Speaker 1: don't think I need the Pro anymore because the m

1580
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:32,080
Speaker 1: chips have gotten so good. I think I'm just going

1581
01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:36,360
Speaker 1: with the MacBook Air sixteen inch or is it fifteen inch?

1582
01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:38,960
Speaker 1: I think it's fifteen inch. Actually, let me say here,

1583
01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:41,160
Speaker 1: it's been a while since. Oh it's in my bag.

1584
01:21:42,120 --> 01:21:44,240
Speaker 1: You know I'm shopping on Apple when it's already in

1585
01:21:44,280 --> 01:21:48,240
Speaker 1: my bag. Yeah, it's a fifteen inch MacBook Air. And

1586
01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:51,840
Speaker 1: the one that I've specked out is about it's almost

1587
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:55,599
Speaker 1: like three thousand bucks because I want a higher end

1588
01:21:56,840 --> 01:22:00,559
Speaker 1: memory and storage. Okay, thanks for the call, benppreciate it.

1589
01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:05,400
Speaker 1: Let's go to Carlos in Downy. Carlos, you're on with Rich.

1590
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:06,599
Speaker 5: I'm Rich.

1591
01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:08,080
Speaker 11: Good to hear from you.

1592
01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:09,680
Speaker 1: I got to hear from you for you.

1593
01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:12,880
Speaker 11: I don't know if you've already discussed this or not.

1594
01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:18,080
Speaker 11: When it a see if there's an external hard drive

1595
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:22,720
Speaker 11: where I can go ahead and transfer my pictures from

1596
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:27,280
Speaker 11: my iPhone videos from my iPhone via air drop. I

1597
01:22:27,320 --> 01:22:30,960
Speaker 11: went to Apple, but all they suggested, obviously was the cloud.

1598
01:22:31,479 --> 01:22:34,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course they did, because guess what you pay forever.

1599
01:22:34,880 --> 01:22:40,360
Speaker 1: And it's so mysterious. Snology the company that makes these

1600
01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:44,400
Speaker 1: network attached storage drives they have, Oh my gosh, the

1601
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:48,320
Speaker 1: name of it is evading me. But it's like, oh

1602
01:22:48,360 --> 01:22:50,000
Speaker 1: my gosh, I got to remember the name of this.

1603
01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:52,599
Speaker 1: But it's called like sugar Bee or something like that.

1604
01:22:52,680 --> 01:22:56,679
Speaker 1: But it's this little drive that they came up with,

1605
01:22:57,600 --> 01:23:00,240
Speaker 1: and it's a let's say, sync drive. I gotta find

1606
01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:03,599
Speaker 1: the name of this thing, but it's a it's okay,

1607
01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:06,200
Speaker 1: I'll figure out the name before we at some point

1608
01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:09,000
Speaker 1: during the show. But there is a drive that lets

1609
01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:12,360
Speaker 1: you kind of sync. You plug in your iPhone into

1610
01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:14,360
Speaker 1: your computer and it will kind of suck the pictures

1611
01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:16,400
Speaker 1: off the iPhone and put them onto this little drive.

1612
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:19,479
Speaker 1: And so it's like a good alternative and it's like

1613
01:23:19,520 --> 01:23:22,599
Speaker 1: a one terabyte drive. I mentioned it on the show.

1614
01:23:23,160 --> 01:23:27,280
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember what the name of it is,

1615
01:23:27,400 --> 01:23:30,840
Speaker 1: and I really can't remember right now, but if I

1616
01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:32,240
Speaker 1: if I think of it, I will mention it on

1617
01:23:32,280 --> 01:23:34,559
Speaker 1: the show. Maybe during the break, I'll figure it out.

1618
01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:39,559
Speaker 1: But it's like it's like, oh gosh, it's yeah, and

1619
01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:40,439
Speaker 1: you're using iPhone.

1620
01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:42,719
Speaker 11: Did you say, yeah, I'm using an eyeball.

1621
01:23:42,880 --> 01:23:44,280
Speaker 1: Now, there's some other ways you can do it. Do

1622
01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:46,000
Speaker 1: you have a Windows computer or a Mac?

1623
01:23:46,680 --> 01:23:47,320
Speaker 11: I have a Mac.

1624
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:49,200
Speaker 1: Okay, I was gonna say, because you know, you could

1625
01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:51,559
Speaker 1: just plug your phone into your Mac and just have

1626
01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:54,960
Speaker 1: it take the photos off and put them into iPhoto

1627
01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:57,120
Speaker 1: and then back that up to a hard drive. Now,

1628
01:23:57,120 --> 01:23:59,160
Speaker 1: what I don't like about the way iPhoto does it

1629
01:23:59,200 --> 01:24:01,920
Speaker 1: is they put them in a p prietary filing system,

1630
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:05,000
Speaker 1: which is a pain if you ever want to sort

1631
01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:07,280
Speaker 1: of do anything else with those pictures. So I'm not

1632
01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:09,679
Speaker 1: a huge fan of that. But there's also some apps

1633
01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:11,240
Speaker 1: as well that you might want to take a look at.

1634
01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:15,439
Speaker 1: They just they just launched a new app that I'm

1635
01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:20,720
Speaker 1: testing called alt Tunes a L T t U n es.

1636
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:23,840
Speaker 1: Right now, it's just on Windows, but it will be

1637
01:24:23,880 --> 01:24:26,840
Speaker 1: coming to the Mac. But that's one way, And I

1638
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:29,559
Speaker 1: Amazing is another app that you can check out. Have

1639
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:30,280
Speaker 1: you heard of that one?

1640
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:32,639
Speaker 11: No, I haven't heard of that one. I do have

1641
01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:35,000
Speaker 11: Google Photos where I do.

1642
01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:35,479
Speaker 9: Back it up.

1643
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:37,960
Speaker 11: Okay, but I want to go ahead and have you

1644
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:41,840
Speaker 11: want that copy. Yeah, in case googleever it goes you know,

1645
01:24:41,920 --> 01:24:44,760
Speaker 11: caput or something, at least I have a backup and

1646
01:24:44,800 --> 01:24:47,760
Speaker 11: not lose everything that I have on Google Photos.

1647
01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:50,439
Speaker 1: You can also just use image capture built into your

1648
01:24:50,800 --> 01:24:53,680
Speaker 1: computer and just just dragging. I mean, if you're just

1649
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:56,200
Speaker 1: trying to get them onto a drive, you can just

1650
01:24:56,360 --> 01:24:58,840
Speaker 1: plug your phone into your computer use image capture. It

1651
01:24:58,920 --> 01:25:01,960
Speaker 1: kind of remembers the photos that you've imported versus not.

1652
01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:04,320
Speaker 1: So you know, let's say you do this once a week.

1653
01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:07,160
Speaker 1: You just import the new ones and then just drag

1654
01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:09,120
Speaker 1: them onto a hard drive or just import them directly

1655
01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:10,720
Speaker 1: to that hard drive. Why don't you do that? That's

1656
01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:14,439
Speaker 1: like the cheapest, easiest and free. Oh okay, have you

1657
01:25:14,479 --> 01:25:15,479
Speaker 1: tried image capture?

1658
01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:17,200
Speaker 11: No, I haven't tried it.

1659
01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:17,639
Speaker 1: It's built.

1660
01:25:17,920 --> 01:25:22,280
Speaker 11: I do have the extern that there's a small sanded

1661
01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:26,759
Speaker 11: flash drive where I've used it, But that just takes

1662
01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:29,960
Speaker 11: a while. The profits and most of the videos are

1663
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:33,679
Speaker 11: about a minute long. They're nothing really over five minutes.

1664
01:25:33,720 --> 01:25:35,800
Speaker 11: Y're a minute or too long, but it takes a

1665
01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:37,519
Speaker 11: while for you to go ahead and be able to

1666
01:25:37,560 --> 01:25:41,519
Speaker 11: process it through into the small flash drive and then

1667
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:44,680
Speaker 11: get the flash drive connected on my MacBook and then

1668
01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:49,120
Speaker 11: extract it from the flash drive over to my external drive.

1669
01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:51,960
Speaker 11: So I was wondering, I'm like, is there one way

1670
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:53,920
Speaker 11: where we could just do it? Air drop it?

1671
01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:56,960
Speaker 1: The air drop is going to be you could do that,

1672
01:25:57,000 --> 01:25:58,280
Speaker 1: but that's going to be a pain because you have

1673
01:25:58,320 --> 01:26:00,839
Speaker 1: to figure out which pictures you've done which you haven't.

1674
01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:03,519
Speaker 1: I think I think image capture that's that's built into

1675
01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:05,479
Speaker 1: your Mac That's probably gonna be the easiest. That's what

1676
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:08,759
Speaker 1: I used to to import stuff from all kinds of media,

1677
01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:11,599
Speaker 1: you know, whether you connect a SD card or a phone,

1678
01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:14,479
Speaker 1: whatever it is. But the iPhone, of course, works really

1679
01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:17,240
Speaker 1: nice with that. So I'd use that and just do

1680
01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:19,680
Speaker 1: that once a week. It'll it'll remember. It marks the

1681
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:21,760
Speaker 1: pictures that you've already imported with like a little dot

1682
01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:24,600
Speaker 1: or something like a little green dot. I think it

1683
01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:26,880
Speaker 1: also it depends you have an iPhone with the USBC

1684
01:26:27,200 --> 01:26:29,519
Speaker 1: or the Lightning USBC.

1685
01:26:29,720 --> 01:26:32,680
Speaker 11: Okay, I was gonna say I have them.

1686
01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:36,840
Speaker 1: I think USBC started with the fifteen though.

1687
01:26:37,080 --> 01:26:38,960
Speaker 11: Okay, so then yes you have Lightning.

1688
01:26:39,080 --> 01:26:42,120
Speaker 1: So I will say, if you want to try the

1689
01:26:42,280 --> 01:26:45,120
Speaker 1: method where you plug the flash drive directly into the iPhone.

1690
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:50,920
Speaker 1: The connection has gotten considerably faster since the lightning connection

1691
01:26:51,160 --> 01:26:54,840
Speaker 1: on the USB C It's a lot faster. So, oh

1692
01:26:54,880 --> 01:26:56,559
Speaker 1: what am I saying? You didn't get the USBC, So

1693
01:26:56,640 --> 01:26:59,360
Speaker 1: never mind, it's not gonna matter. But for anyone else

1694
01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:02,160
Speaker 1: that's listening that does have USBC, it is a lot faster.

1695
01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:07,599
Speaker 1: And they also make drives that kind of had two sides. Well, okay,

1696
01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:09,160
Speaker 1: now I'm confusing a lot of things because there's a

1697
01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:11,720
Speaker 1: drive with like a lightning on one side, USBC on

1698
01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:14,519
Speaker 1: the other, or the one that I have has USBC

1699
01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:18,200
Speaker 1: on one side and then a standard USB on the

1700
01:27:18,200 --> 01:27:19,760
Speaker 1: other side. So there's a lot of ways to do this.

1701
01:27:19,800 --> 01:27:21,639
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, Carlos, I think

1702
01:27:21,680 --> 01:27:24,280
Speaker 1: the simplest way is going to be connect your phone

1703
01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:27,120
Speaker 1: with a cable to your computer and just use that

1704
01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:30,120
Speaker 1: image capture. It'll pull the new images off the phone,

1705
01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:32,080
Speaker 1: drag them to that drive, or just import them into

1706
01:27:32,120 --> 01:27:34,920
Speaker 1: that file and that drive the folder, and that's the

1707
01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:37,920
Speaker 1: best way to keep that physical copy. Thanks so much

1708

Speaker 1: She is the shell. Yeah, I know, believe me. What

1722
01:28:34,960 --> 01:28:35,640
Speaker 1: can I help you with?

1723
01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:38,560
Speaker 13: Well, you know you were speaking about flying over the

1724
01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:41,360
Speaker 13: Pacific Ocean. Can I share with you very quickly a

1725
01:28:41,439 --> 01:28:42,559
Speaker 13: story that involves you?

1726
01:28:43,520 --> 01:28:43,800
Speaker 1: Sure?

1727
01:28:44,439 --> 01:28:44,839
Speaker 13: Okay?

1728
01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:48,040
Speaker 19: Two months ago I was flying to Fiji on Fiji Airways,

1729
01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:49,639
Speaker 19: and you.

1730
01:28:50,439 --> 01:28:53,880
Speaker 13: May not be surprised to learn that the bottle of

1731
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:57,280
Speaker 13: water that they sell is or that they serve is

1732
01:28:57,320 --> 01:28:58,080
Speaker 13: Fiji water.

1733
01:28:58,600 --> 01:28:59,920
Speaker 1: Makes sense, Okay.

1734
01:29:00,280 --> 01:29:03,360
Speaker 19: So, as I'm doing this ten hour red eye flight

1735
01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:07,000
Speaker 19: from Lax to Fiji, at three AM, I go back

1736
01:29:07,320 --> 01:29:10,160
Speaker 19: to the cabin to get a glass of water, and

1737
01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:13,679
Speaker 19: I'm talking to the cabin crew about how relatively expensive

1738
01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:17,920
Speaker 19: Fiji water is in the States, and I repeated the

1739
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:20,240
Speaker 19: story that you told on the air about how the

1740
01:29:20,280 --> 01:29:23,439
Speaker 19: only bottled water that your kids, who are not even

1741
01:29:23,479 --> 01:29:26,639
Speaker 19: teenagers yet will drink is water.

1742
01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:29,240
Speaker 1: It's not the only water they'll drink, it's just if

1743
01:29:29,280 --> 01:29:31,519
Speaker 1: I ever give them a choice, that's what they prefer,

1744
01:29:31,680 --> 01:29:33,760
Speaker 1: because they yeah, clearly they're spoiled, but.

1745
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:38,479
Speaker 13: Yes, obviously they're water kind of stores. And the cabin

1746
01:29:38,560 --> 01:29:39,320
Speaker 13: crew thought.

1747
01:29:39,120 --> 01:29:42,400
Speaker 21: That was hilarious and they said to tell you bulah,

1748
01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:45,439
Speaker 21: which is the equivalency of aloha.

1749
01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:48,840
Speaker 1: Ah okay boolah huh okay. Very cool, that's a great story.

1750
01:29:49,479 --> 01:29:55,040
Speaker 7: Well, anyway, on my trip, I have a unlocked Google

1751
01:29:55,280 --> 01:30:00,680
Speaker 7: Pixel five A five G which did not I have

1752
01:30:01,880 --> 01:30:05,440
Speaker 7: support for eSIM, and so when I flew to Fiji

1753
01:30:05,640 --> 01:30:07,960
Speaker 7: and then later on to Australia, I had to buy

1754
01:30:08,240 --> 01:30:11,800
Speaker 7: two different physical SIM cards, and the one that I

1755
01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:14,440
Speaker 7: used in Australia first time I ever used Votaphone.

1756
01:30:14,479 --> 01:30:18,080
Speaker 13: They were absolutely terrible. I would not recommend them to anyone.

1757
01:30:18,800 --> 01:30:23,400
Speaker 21: And even though I was supposed to have text messaging

1758
01:30:23,439 --> 01:30:29,880
Speaker 21: capabilities on my Votaphone sim card, only some.

1759
01:30:31,640 --> 01:30:36,400
Speaker 13: Messages would be communicated and the text support was terrible,

1760
01:30:36,920 --> 01:30:39,000
Speaker 13: and I actually was thinking About'm getting ready to go

1761
01:30:39,040 --> 01:30:43,600
Speaker 13: to Greece and I was seriously looking at replacing my

1762
01:30:43,800 --> 01:30:49,479
Speaker 13: phone until I found out that my old Google Pixel

1763
01:30:49,479 --> 01:30:52,560
Speaker 13: five A five G now has eSIM capability.

1764
01:30:52,640 --> 01:30:54,439
Speaker 1: Oh they added it with a software update.

1765
01:30:54,840 --> 01:30:59,479
Speaker 13: Well that was my question for you, apparently, So I mean.

1766
01:30:59,360 --> 01:31:01,479
Speaker 1: They definitely can do it, because I I've been testing

1767
01:31:01,520 --> 01:31:03,680
Speaker 1: a one plus phone that when it came out it

1768
01:31:03,720 --> 01:31:05,880
Speaker 1: did not have eSIM, but then they did a software

1769
01:31:05,920 --> 01:31:09,200
Speaker 1: update and it does, so it is possible. I can't

1770
01:31:09,240 --> 01:31:12,599
Speaker 1: confirm that for the Pixel five A, but I you know,

1771
01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:16,519
Speaker 1: if you say it and I believe it. But uh, yeah,

1772
01:31:16,560 --> 01:31:19,240
Speaker 1: so what so your question is what should you try?

1773
01:31:19,840 --> 01:31:22,040
Speaker 1: A Yeah, it does say it does have an eSIM,

1774
01:31:22,200 --> 01:31:24,360
Speaker 1: so you're going to try an eSIM this time around

1775
01:31:24,360 --> 01:31:24,960
Speaker 1: before you go?

1776
01:31:25,439 --> 01:31:25,639
Speaker 5: Right?

1777
01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:26,120
Speaker 1: Okay?

1778
01:31:26,160 --> 01:31:29,160
Speaker 21: And I know that I know that you've spoken previously

1779
01:31:29,560 --> 01:31:30,639
Speaker 21: highly of Erlow.

1780
01:31:30,840 --> 01:31:33,680
Speaker 13: So the only thing about Erlo is they do not

1781
01:31:33,920 --> 01:31:37,560
Speaker 13: support text messaging. So I was wondering if there's a

1782
01:31:37,600 --> 01:31:39,479
Speaker 13: couple of others that I've been looking at that I've

1783
01:31:39,479 --> 01:31:40,160
Speaker 13: never heard of.

1784
01:31:40,680 --> 01:31:45,000
Speaker 1: Well here's the deal. It's it's kind of interesting because

1785
01:31:45,040 --> 01:31:48,160
Speaker 1: it's not the text. It will support text messaging if

1786
01:31:48,200 --> 01:31:54,559
Speaker 1: your primary carrier offers uh tech Wi Fi messaging. So

1787
01:31:55,240 --> 01:31:57,840
Speaker 1: if your pixel is set up with your primary phone

1788
01:31:57,880 --> 01:32:00,120
Speaker 1: line and it has you know you have one. I

1789
01:32:00,120 --> 01:32:03,040
Speaker 1: find messaging like most of the modern carriers. Now, which

1790
01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:03,800
Speaker 1: carrier do you have?

1791
01:32:04,280 --> 01:32:06,560
Speaker 13: I'm actually with Consumer.

1792
01:32:06,680 --> 01:32:09,599
Speaker 1: Okay, do they have do they offer? Okay? Well, actually okay,

1793
01:32:09,800 --> 01:32:12,160
Speaker 1: So they're interesting because I was looking at their their

1794
01:32:12,200 --> 01:32:14,800
Speaker 1: support for overseas, it's a little different than a lot

1795
01:32:14,880 --> 01:32:17,200
Speaker 1: of the carriers, so I'd be very careful. In fact,

1796
01:32:17,240 --> 01:32:19,000
Speaker 1: I would not use them at all overseas.

1797
01:32:19,680 --> 01:32:19,880
Speaker 16: Well.

1798
01:32:19,880 --> 01:32:23,240
Speaker 13: That's why I've been buying physical cards because they country

1799
01:32:23,280 --> 01:32:26,320
Speaker 13: that I go to they do not have overseas or.

1800
01:32:26,360 --> 01:32:28,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they do charge if you do any sort

1801
01:32:28,280 --> 01:32:29,280
Speaker 1: of roaming or anything like that.

1802
01:32:29,360 --> 01:32:33,439
Speaker 13: But but domestically I've been with them for years. They're awesome.

1803
01:32:33,560 --> 01:32:36,479
Speaker 13: I did go with Google Fi for one month and

1804
01:32:36,720 --> 01:32:40,880
Speaker 13: they were absolutely well. My experience was absolutely terrible.

1805
01:32:40,960 --> 01:32:44,439
Speaker 1: So I just tested I just tested back to consumer.

1806
01:32:44,760 --> 01:32:46,720
Speaker 1: I just tested Google Fi a couple of weeks ago,

1807
01:32:46,760 --> 01:32:49,639
Speaker 1: and they actually were They exceeded my expectations. I thought

1808
01:32:49,680 --> 01:32:53,160
Speaker 1: it was pretty great. But anyway, so long story short

1809
01:32:53,240 --> 01:32:56,920
Speaker 1: about the sims. I don't in general recommend that. The

1810
01:32:56,960 --> 01:32:58,680
Speaker 1: problem with the SIM if you're going to get a

1811
01:32:58,800 --> 01:33:01,280
Speaker 1: separate phone number, people are going to be texting you

1812
01:33:01,360 --> 01:33:04,920
Speaker 1: on that random phone number when you're overseas, that's really

1813
01:33:04,920 --> 01:33:07,840
Speaker 1: complicated unless you're there for an extremely long period of time.

1814
01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:11,559
Speaker 1: I would not recommend that. So my advice is to

1815
01:33:11,920 --> 01:33:16,200
Speaker 1: just have people text you through you know, a WhatsApp

1816
01:33:16,360 --> 01:33:19,519
Speaker 1: or a Facebook messenger, and they just you just have to,

1817
01:33:19,640 --> 01:33:22,360
Speaker 1: you know, send out to your close friends and family

1818
01:33:22,479 --> 01:33:25,759
Speaker 1: that hey, I'm on you know, vacation or traveling or whatever,

1819
01:33:26,200 --> 01:33:29,559
Speaker 1: and I can't take your text because if Consumer Cellular

1820
01:33:29,600 --> 01:33:33,120
Speaker 1: doesn't offer that, you know, the Wi Fi texting, then

1821
01:33:34,320 --> 01:33:36,760
Speaker 1: to go through the hassle of setting up a whole

1822
01:33:36,760 --> 01:33:38,080
Speaker 1: new phone number, I don't even know how you tell

1823
01:33:38,120 --> 01:33:40,280
Speaker 1: people that number for just the week you're all overseas.

1824
01:33:40,680 --> 01:33:43,680
Speaker 1: But most of the sims are data only. They're not

1825
01:33:43,720 --> 01:33:47,519
Speaker 1: really meant for calls. You can do voice over IP calls,

1826
01:33:47,520 --> 01:33:51,599
Speaker 1: but they're all meant for data pretty much. That's that's

1827
01:33:51,640 --> 01:33:55,320
Speaker 1: my advice, Ara Low and then US Mobile also has

1828
01:33:55,400 --> 01:33:58,679
Speaker 1: an international e SIM coming up. We're going to talk

1829
01:33:58,680 --> 01:34:02,360
Speaker 1: more about mobile networks with the CEO of mobile X.

Speaker 22: You know, when we first came to the US, and

1842
01:34:45,680 --> 01:34:47,559
Speaker 22: I think about two thousand and two thousand and one

1843
01:34:48,160 --> 01:34:52,680
Speaker 22: to launch Boost, prepaid basically was nonexistent. Most carriers were

1844
01:34:52,720 --> 01:34:55,439
Speaker 22: trying to chase the postpaid customer, which in their minds

1845
01:34:55,439 --> 01:34:58,000
Speaker 22: they considered to be the higher value customer, and so

1846
01:34:58,120 --> 01:35:00,559
Speaker 22: prepaid was pretty much being left behind. Obviously you can

1847
01:35:00,600 --> 01:35:03,639
Speaker 22: tell from my accent I'm Australian. What we were seeing

1848
01:35:03,960 --> 01:35:06,439
Speaker 22: in Australia and outside the US was the prepaid was

1849
01:35:06,479 --> 01:35:08,600
Speaker 22: really starting to grow and it was growing to like

1850
01:35:08,600 --> 01:35:11,479
Speaker 22: fifty percent of the market. So I saw an incredible

1851
01:35:11,479 --> 01:35:12,800
Speaker 22: opportunity here to launch boost.

1852
01:35:12,840 --> 01:35:14,559
Speaker 15: We launched it with next Heel back in the day.

1853
01:35:14,600 --> 01:35:16,439
Speaker 22: I think you might remember the push to talk oh

1854
01:35:16,560 --> 01:35:19,720
Speaker 22: ye ide and technology, the whole where you at campaign

1855
01:35:20,160 --> 01:35:23,320
Speaker 22: put Kanye West into his first commercial and really built

1856
01:35:23,320 --> 01:35:26,040
Speaker 22: a brand that was you know that's still here today,

1857
01:35:26,080 --> 01:35:28,800
Speaker 22: I think some twenty years later. So you know, that

1858
01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:33,160
Speaker 22: was really the kind of drive behind it was to

1859
01:35:33,200 --> 01:35:35,800
Speaker 22: try to give you know, the unconnected the ability to

1860
01:35:35,800 --> 01:35:37,800
Speaker 22: get connected. So that's really what we've been doing for

1861
01:35:37,840 --> 01:35:39,759
Speaker 22: the last twenty years, focused on the consumer.

1862
01:35:40,320 --> 01:35:43,519
Speaker 1: And now you've got this new venture called mobile X

1863
01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:46,720
Speaker 1: and this is a an MV and O, so we

1864
01:35:46,800 --> 01:35:50,080
Speaker 1: have to explain what that is and also it used

1865
01:35:50,120 --> 01:35:52,240
Speaker 1: a lot of AI and so what are you trying

1866
01:35:52,240 --> 01:35:54,559
Speaker 1: to Well, first off, explain Mobile X and kind of

1867
01:35:54,560 --> 01:35:56,400
Speaker 1: what you're trying to do this time around.

1868
01:35:57,640 --> 01:35:57,840
Speaker 13: Yeah.

1869
01:35:57,880 --> 01:36:00,240
Speaker 22: So one of the things that's always been a kind

1870
01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:02,840
Speaker 22: of a concern to me that consumers aren't really aware

1871
01:36:02,880 --> 01:36:04,920
Speaker 22: of is that a lot of them are buying data

1872
01:36:04,920 --> 01:36:07,360
Speaker 22: that they never need. I mean, I'll ask you this question,

1873
01:36:07,439 --> 01:36:09,040
Speaker 22: Rich and I'm almost positive you're not going to be

1874
01:36:09,040 --> 01:36:09,640
Speaker 22: able to answer it.

1875
01:36:09,760 --> 01:36:11,559
Speaker 15: How much data do you need? Do you use?

1876
01:36:11,840 --> 01:36:14,400
Speaker 1: No idea? I know I do know. From time to

1877
01:36:14,439 --> 01:36:17,200
Speaker 1: time I check my wife's usage and it's like so

1878
01:36:17,439 --> 01:36:19,519
Speaker 1: minuscule that I'm like, I laugh at her. I'm like, what,

1879
01:36:19,760 --> 01:36:21,840
Speaker 1: you don't do anything on your phone? But I do.

1880
01:36:22,280 --> 01:36:24,759
Speaker 1: Obviously I probably use more data than the average person,

1881
01:36:25,000 --> 01:36:27,519
Speaker 1: But I agree, we're paying in advance for something that

1882
01:36:27,640 --> 01:36:29,320
Speaker 1: you know, we don't even know how much we're using

1883
01:36:29,400 --> 01:36:30,559
Speaker 1: or how much we might need.

1884
01:36:31,640 --> 01:36:31,680
Speaker 7: No.

1885
01:36:31,840 --> 01:36:33,360
Speaker 22: So what we wanted to do with Mobile X, I

1886
01:36:33,360 --> 01:36:35,080
Speaker 22: mean a lot of people also don't realize that the

1887
01:36:35,080 --> 01:36:37,200
Speaker 22: carriers make their money two ways. They sell you data

1888
01:36:37,280 --> 01:36:39,439
Speaker 22: they know you don't need, and then when you go

1889
01:36:39,560 --> 01:36:42,799
Speaker 22: over they charge you. So it's kind of overage and breakage.

1890
01:36:42,840 --> 01:36:44,280
Speaker 22: So what we wanted to do is we wanted to

1891
01:36:44,320 --> 01:36:47,200
Speaker 22: right size that. So I wanted to put machine learning

1892
01:36:47,240 --> 01:36:49,000
Speaker 22: AI in the consumer's hands.

1893
01:36:49,240 --> 01:36:51,840
Speaker 15: And have them tell us what they need. And what

1894
01:36:51,880 --> 01:36:52,639
Speaker 15: we're found is.

1895
01:36:52,600 --> 01:36:55,519
Speaker 22: And I found this even myself, my bill hasn't been

1896
01:36:55,520 --> 01:36:57,520
Speaker 22: any more than sixteen or seventeen.

1897
01:36:57,080 --> 01:36:58,640
Speaker 15: Dollars because a lot of what I do is in

1898
01:36:58,680 --> 01:36:59,080
Speaker 15: Wi Fi.

1899
01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:01,599
Speaker 22: Then when I'm out on the road, I mean, unless

1900
01:37:01,640 --> 01:37:03,600
Speaker 22: you're using video, and even if you use video, we

1901
01:37:03,760 --> 01:37:05,320
Speaker 22: give you the option to be able to use four

1902
01:37:05,360 --> 01:37:08,439
Speaker 22: eighty seven twenty or ten eighty or four K. I've

1903
01:37:08,479 --> 01:37:10,280
Speaker 22: got mindset at four eighty. I can't even tell the

1904
01:37:10,280 --> 01:37:13,559
Speaker 22: difference in video quality. So we really put a lot

1905
01:37:13,600 --> 01:37:16,280
Speaker 22: of the control back into the consumer's hands and we

1906
01:37:16,360 --> 01:37:19,080
Speaker 22: use machine learning AI to help them, and we are

1907
01:37:19,080 --> 01:37:23,439
Speaker 22: bringing down the bills significantly. As an example, my family

1908
01:37:23,479 --> 01:37:25,880
Speaker 22: BILLT on AT and T before I jumped over to

1909
01:37:25,920 --> 01:37:28,320
Speaker 22: Mobile X was north of three hundred dollars.

1910
01:37:29,080 --> 01:37:30,439
Speaker 15: Now we're south of fifty.

1911
01:37:31,280 --> 01:37:34,040
Speaker 22: And we have done nothing different other than we're not

1912
01:37:34,080 --> 01:37:36,360
Speaker 22: paying for data that we don't need. And so I

1913
01:37:36,400 --> 01:37:39,479
Speaker 22: think if consumers really want to save money, and now's

1914
01:37:39,479 --> 01:37:39,920
Speaker 22: the time.

1915
01:37:39,800 --> 01:37:40,240
Speaker 7: To do it right.

1916
01:37:40,280 --> 01:37:43,960
Speaker 22: Obviously we're coming into an inflationary period, things are going up.

1917
01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:46,240
Speaker 22: Great way to save it is to get on Mobile X,

1918
01:37:46,360 --> 01:37:49,000
Speaker 22: try us out for ten days, let the AI do

1919
01:37:49,080 --> 01:37:51,280
Speaker 22: its work and it comes back and basically customize a

1920
01:37:51,320 --> 01:37:53,720
Speaker 22: plan exactly for what you need. And as I said,

1921
01:37:53,760 --> 01:37:57,240
Speaker 22: the majority of people, we're saving significant amounts of money for.

1922
01:37:57,479 --> 01:37:59,640
Speaker 1: A couple points. So the reason I'm having you on

1923
01:37:59,680 --> 01:38:02,120
Speaker 1: the shelf, first off, because I've been testing Mobile X.

1924
01:38:02,960 --> 01:38:05,920
Speaker 1: I used it throughout my entire trip in Hawaii, had

1925
01:38:05,960 --> 01:38:09,439
Speaker 1: no issues whatsoever. But it's funny you said the four

1926
01:38:09,520 --> 01:38:12,479
Speaker 1: eighty because I was just inside the app kind of

1927
01:38:12,520 --> 01:38:14,360
Speaker 1: looking at some of the settings, and I noticed that

1928
01:38:14,400 --> 01:38:17,120
Speaker 1: my video was streaming at four eighty. And I'm a

1929
01:38:17,160 --> 01:38:20,200
Speaker 1: pretty like tech savvy guy, and I did not notice

1930
01:38:20,240 --> 01:38:22,400
Speaker 1: that in any way, shape or form that my video

1931
01:38:22,600 --> 01:38:25,080
Speaker 1: was streaming at four eighty on a brand new Samsung

1932
01:38:25,200 --> 01:38:28,240
Speaker 1: S twenty four Ultra, which has a great screen. I

1933
01:38:28,280 --> 01:38:31,320
Speaker 1: didn't tell the difference there, So clearly, you know, I

1934
01:38:31,320 --> 01:38:34,479
Speaker 1: don't think that matters to most people. I'm looking at

1935
01:38:34,479 --> 01:38:36,920
Speaker 1: the plans on your website. One of them starts at

1936
01:38:36,960 --> 01:38:39,439
Speaker 1: four dollars and eight cents a month, another one starts

1937
01:38:39,439 --> 01:38:41,840
Speaker 1: at fifteen a month for five gigs, and then another

1938
01:38:41,880 --> 01:38:45,200
Speaker 1: one is thirty gigs for twenty five dollars. Of course,

1939
01:38:45,520 --> 01:38:48,559
Speaker 1: it's unlimited talking text with all those plans. But I

1940
01:38:48,560 --> 01:38:51,839
Speaker 1: think that the main issue with people and their cellular

1941
01:38:51,840 --> 01:38:54,920
Speaker 1: carriers is they are very scared to switch. So I

1942
01:38:54,960 --> 01:38:57,720
Speaker 1: know that I'm overpaying for my wife's line specifically, and

1943
01:38:57,760 --> 01:39:00,880
Speaker 1: our bill just went up, but it's so scary, like

1944
01:39:01,280 --> 01:39:03,120
Speaker 1: she questions, like, wait, am I going to lose this?

1945
01:39:03,200 --> 01:39:04,640
Speaker 1: Am I going to lose that? Is this going to

1946
01:39:04,720 --> 01:39:07,040
Speaker 1: work the same. Do you find that to be the case.

1947
01:39:07,960 --> 01:39:10,920
Speaker 22: Yeah, Look, I think that you know changing and that's

1948
01:39:10,920 --> 01:39:13,040
Speaker 22: why we have this thing called churn in the industry,

1949
01:39:13,040 --> 01:39:14,760
Speaker 22: and it's very very low, right.

1950
01:39:14,680 --> 01:39:17,160
Speaker 15: And that's because people are scared to.

1951
01:39:17,080 --> 01:39:19,200
Speaker 22: Be able to switch across, you know, an mv and

1952
01:39:19,240 --> 01:39:21,360
Speaker 22: O like our sales Mobile X. We're on the best

1953
01:39:21,400 --> 01:39:24,800
Speaker 22: network in the country. We have the same access that

1954
01:39:24,880 --> 01:39:27,760
Speaker 22: everybody else has and we have better tools. So it

1955
01:39:27,840 --> 01:39:30,760
Speaker 22: really is for consumers can save themselves significant amounts of

1956
01:39:30,760 --> 01:39:33,080
Speaker 22: money by jumping over to mv and os like Mobile X.

1957
01:39:33,640 --> 01:39:34,839
Speaker 15: And I say this to everybody.

1958
01:39:34,920 --> 01:39:37,599
Speaker 22: And when you leave your house, you don't know leave

1959
01:39:37,640 --> 01:39:39,240
Speaker 22: all the lights on, right, You run around and you

1960
01:39:39,280 --> 01:39:41,960
Speaker 22: turn them all off, right because you're trying to save money.

1961
01:39:42,520 --> 01:39:45,080
Speaker 15: And even when you look at filling up your car,

1962
01:39:45,120 --> 01:39:45,680
Speaker 15: you fill it up.

1963
01:39:45,760 --> 01:39:47,160
Speaker 22: If I filled your car up and at the end

1964
01:39:47,160 --> 01:39:48,519
Speaker 22: of the month, I came and siphoned it out, no

1965
01:39:48,640 --> 01:39:51,040
Speaker 22: matter how much gas you used, that's exactly what the

1966
01:39:51,040 --> 01:39:53,080
Speaker 22: carriers do. They give you all this data and at

1967
01:39:53,080 --> 01:39:54,720
Speaker 22: the end of the month they siphon out even if

1968
01:39:54,720 --> 01:39:57,000
Speaker 22: you haven't used it, and then recharge you again. So

1969
01:39:57,880 --> 01:40:01,439
Speaker 22: I think the consumers are getting smart, they're getting wiser,

1970
01:40:01,760 --> 01:40:03,880
Speaker 22: and they're quickly realizing that they don't need one of

1971
01:40:03,880 --> 01:40:06,760
Speaker 22: the big three brands when you can actually get one

1972
01:40:06,800 --> 01:40:10,080
Speaker 22: of the big three brands networks and save yourself a

1973
01:40:10,120 --> 01:40:12,759
Speaker 22: significant amount of money. And as I said, my usage

1974
01:40:12,760 --> 01:40:16,040
Speaker 22: hasn't changed, my experience has got better. And so I

1975
01:40:16,040 --> 01:40:18,040
Speaker 22: really encourage consumers to get out there and have a

1976
01:40:18,080 --> 01:40:20,240
Speaker 22: look because it really can.

1977
01:40:20,360 --> 01:40:23,240
Speaker 15: As I said, it can save them significant families.

1978
01:40:23,439 --> 01:40:25,840
Speaker 22: Thousands of dollars, by the way, a year, not not

1979
01:40:25,920 --> 01:40:27,880
Speaker 22: like hundreds thousands of dollars a year.

1980
01:40:28,160 --> 01:40:29,439
Speaker 15: MOBILEX can save them.

1981
01:40:29,920 --> 01:40:33,040
Speaker 1: What about this idea of poorting out the number? Is

1982
01:40:33,080 --> 01:40:36,439
Speaker 1: that process tough? Is it easy? Is it automated? What's

1983
01:40:36,439 --> 01:40:37,000
Speaker 1: the deal with that?

1984
01:40:37,760 --> 01:40:38,599
Speaker 15: It's pretty easy.

1985
01:40:38,640 --> 01:40:40,439
Speaker 22: Actually, you go on, you ask your carrier for a

1986
01:40:40,439 --> 01:40:41,960
Speaker 22: port out pin, they give you a port out pin,

1987
01:40:42,040 --> 01:40:44,040
Speaker 22: You put that into the app. We're all up driven,

1988
01:40:44,120 --> 01:40:48,000
Speaker 22: and then the number switches across. For the majority of people,

1989
01:40:48,040 --> 01:40:48,960
Speaker 22: it's seamless.

1990
01:40:49,120 --> 01:40:49,360
Speaker 1: For me.

1991
01:40:49,400 --> 01:40:52,760
Speaker 22: When I moved over my family, I think it took

1992
01:40:52,840 --> 01:40:56,080
Speaker 22: about sixty seconds and I was up and running on

1993
01:40:56,680 --> 01:41:00,280
Speaker 22: Mobile X, coming across from AT and T. So it's

1994
01:41:00,080 --> 01:41:03,080
Speaker 22: it's it's not that hard. I mean, it's daunting to

1995
01:41:03,120 --> 01:41:04,880
Speaker 22: a lot of people. You can do it in the app,

1996
01:41:04,920 --> 01:41:07,040
Speaker 22: you don't need to go into a store. We've got

1997
01:41:07,160 --> 01:41:10,040
Speaker 22: an incredible customer care team that's focused on this, so

1998
01:41:10,120 --> 01:41:12,080
Speaker 22: you can get onto them straight away and they'll make

1999
01:41:12,120 --> 01:41:15,480
Speaker 22: sure they help you out. But again, these are thousands

2000
01:41:15,560 --> 01:41:18,479
Speaker 22: of dollars of savings. In fact, the matter I'm saving

2001
01:41:18,640 --> 01:41:22,519
Speaker 22: my eldest daughter. We leased a car on the monthly

2002
01:41:22,600 --> 01:41:25,040
Speaker 22: mount that we were saving. Wow, we've actually got her

2003
01:41:25,040 --> 01:41:27,600
Speaker 22: at car. And so I tell people this is not

2004
01:41:27,640 --> 01:41:31,000
Speaker 22: about saving pennies. You can save hundreds of dollars by

2005
01:41:31,040 --> 01:41:32,200
Speaker 22: just checking out mobile ax.

2006
01:41:32,240 --> 01:41:33,799
Speaker 15: And again we've got experience.

2007
01:41:34,120 --> 01:41:36,120
Speaker 22: I founded the Boost business, which has got millions of

2008
01:41:36,120 --> 01:41:38,559
Speaker 22: customers and saved a lot of people a lot of money.

2009
01:41:38,760 --> 01:41:40,639
Speaker 15: This is the next step, in my.

2010
01:41:40,640 --> 01:41:45,240
Speaker 22: Opinion, in mobile communications and how consumers really can take

2011
01:41:45,280 --> 01:41:45,920
Speaker 22: control back.

2012
01:41:46,439 --> 01:41:48,800
Speaker 1: How big of it? How big of a deal is

2013
01:41:48,840 --> 01:41:50,599
Speaker 1: it that you guys got into Walmart?

2014
01:41:51,800 --> 01:41:54,360
Speaker 22: Oh, look, it's huge. I mean, you know, everybody knows that.

2015
01:41:54,880 --> 01:41:57,160
Speaker 22: You know, ninety percent of Americans live within ten miles

2016
01:41:57,160 --> 01:42:01,040
Speaker 22: of a Walmart. Walmart's also all of saving people money

2017
01:42:01,040 --> 01:42:01,559
Speaker 22: and making.

2018
01:42:01,400 --> 01:42:04,000
Speaker 15: Their lives better. That's exactly what mobilex is.

2019
01:42:04,439 --> 01:42:06,600
Speaker 22: And so yeah, I mean it also gives us credibility,

2020
01:42:06,600 --> 01:42:08,920
Speaker 22: I think to consumers. You know, Walmart doesn't just put

2021
01:42:08,920 --> 01:42:11,840
Speaker 22: anybody in their stores, and so if you're well, I'm

2022
01:42:11,840 --> 01:42:14,280
Speaker 22: not too sure who mobile x is, Oh wow, Walmart's

2023
01:42:14,320 --> 01:42:14,920
Speaker 22: got them in there.

2024
01:42:15,160 --> 01:42:16,400
Speaker 15: You can go in and see us as.

2025
01:42:16,240 --> 01:42:18,800
Speaker 22: An inline in there. You can buy it online through

2026
01:42:18,800 --> 01:42:22,240
Speaker 22: Walmart dot com. But I think that that should give people,

2027
01:42:22,680 --> 01:42:23,040
Speaker 22: you know.

2028
01:42:23,600 --> 01:42:25,560
Speaker 15: The feeling of security.

2029
01:42:25,600 --> 01:42:27,880
Speaker 22: The other thing is we run on the Verizon network, right,

2030
01:42:27,920 --> 01:42:30,640
Speaker 22: which is the largest network, you know, as far as

2031
01:42:30,720 --> 01:42:34,080
Speaker 22: I'm concerned, in America. So we've got a great network,

2032
01:42:34,200 --> 01:42:37,639
Speaker 22: great retail partner, great technology, and now we've got obviously

2033
01:42:37,680 --> 01:42:41,160
Speaker 22: phones online, so you can actually go get phones as well,

2034
01:42:41,240 --> 01:42:43,679
Speaker 22: so there's really good chance to go on and enjoy

2035
01:42:43,760 --> 01:42:44,240
Speaker 22: mobile x.

2036
01:42:44,640 --> 01:42:47,479
Speaker 1: It's funny. That's what made me take you guys seriously.

2037
01:42:47,520 --> 01:42:49,320
Speaker 1: I'd been pitched on this a couple of times, and

2038
01:42:49,360 --> 01:42:51,840
Speaker 1: I was familiar. But when I was at Walmart and

2039
01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:54,080
Speaker 1: I saw the display and I saw that most of

2040
01:42:54,120 --> 01:42:57,880
Speaker 1: the simcards are actually gone, I said, huh interesting. You know,

2041
01:42:58,080 --> 01:42:59,920
Speaker 1: the fact that you're in Walmart and the fact that

2042
01:43:00,040 --> 01:43:03,240
Speaker 1: people are buying these SIM cards clearly tells me something

2043
01:43:03,320 --> 01:43:06,320
Speaker 1: that people are interested in. This real quick, I've got

2044
01:43:06,320 --> 01:43:10,559
Speaker 1: about thirty seconds explain that that AI tool that kind

2045
01:43:10,600 --> 01:43:14,479
Speaker 1: of learns your usage, because that's really interesting. If you're

2046
01:43:14,560 --> 01:43:17,000
Speaker 1: like you know, you just use your phone a tiny bit,

2047
01:43:17,040 --> 01:43:18,120
Speaker 1: this could save you a lot.

2048
01:43:19,479 --> 01:43:21,519
Speaker 15: It doesn't. So I'll give you a classic example.

2049
01:43:21,840 --> 01:43:23,400
Speaker 22: A customer ring me up the other day and they

2050
01:43:23,439 --> 01:43:26,320
Speaker 22: put their mother in law on Mobile X and she

2051
01:43:26,400 --> 01:43:28,559
Speaker 22: basically signed up, did the whole thing, poured it over

2052
01:43:28,960 --> 01:43:31,040
Speaker 22: and she said, now what and they said nothing. Just

2053
01:43:31,080 --> 01:43:32,160
Speaker 22: go do what you're going to do, and at the

2054
01:43:32,240 --> 01:43:33,599
Speaker 22: end of the eight days, it'll come back and tell

2055
01:43:33,600 --> 01:43:35,519
Speaker 22: you what you plan is. You don't need to pick

2056
01:43:35,520 --> 01:43:38,720
Speaker 22: a plan. The plan actually picks you, and we use

2057
01:43:38,800 --> 01:43:40,200
Speaker 22: machine learning AI to do that.

2058
01:43:40,240 --> 01:43:42,519
Speaker 15: So you basically just go around do whatever you're doing.

2059
01:43:42,479 --> 01:43:44,639
Speaker 22: And at the end of the ten days we come

2060
01:43:44,640 --> 01:43:46,680
Speaker 22: back and say, here's the exact plan for you. Now,

2061
01:43:46,720 --> 01:43:48,439
Speaker 22: if you're supposed to be one of those unlimited plans,

2062
01:43:48,439 --> 01:43:50,000
Speaker 22: we'll tell you right. If you're using a lot of data,

2063
01:43:50,040 --> 01:43:52,280
Speaker 22: we'll say, hey, these are the best plans. But the

2064
01:43:52,280 --> 01:43:55,000
Speaker 22: majority of people, seventy to eighty percent of them aren't

2065
01:43:55,040 --> 01:43:57,919
Speaker 22: going on to an unlimited plan and basically spending between

2066
01:43:58,120 --> 01:44:01,240
Speaker 22: five and fifteen dollars a month. So it really is

2067
01:44:01,280 --> 01:44:04,040
Speaker 22: incredible when you actually know and that question I asked

2068
01:44:04,080 --> 01:44:05,920
Speaker 22: you at the beginning, how much data you use? You

2069
01:44:05,920 --> 01:44:07,680
Speaker 22: can go into the app and find out very very

2070
01:44:07,720 --> 01:44:10,000
Speaker 22: quickly and we'll tell you. And each month, by the way,

2071
01:44:10,040 --> 01:44:11,680
Speaker 22: you can change your plan. You know, as you know

2072
01:44:11,760 --> 01:44:15,000
Speaker 22: right now today most plans are stuck. So whether you

2073
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:17,759
Speaker 22: do a three months, six months or twelve month, we don't.

2074
01:44:17,880 --> 01:44:20,280
Speaker 22: We let you change your plan every month if it's

2075
01:44:20,320 --> 01:44:22,360
Speaker 22: going to save you money real quick.

2076
01:44:22,520 --> 01:44:24,360
Speaker 1: Do you support the Apple Watch.

2077
01:44:25,320 --> 01:44:29,240
Speaker 22: We're about to We don't today, we're about to. Apple

2078
01:44:29,360 --> 01:44:31,280
Speaker 22: is a unique group. As you know, you're in tech,

2079
01:44:31,320 --> 01:44:34,959
Speaker 22: so you understand that they they have a special experience

2080
01:44:35,000 --> 01:44:35,599
Speaker 22: with consumers.

2081
01:44:35,680 --> 01:44:36,920
Speaker 15: It's their way or it's no way.

2082
01:44:37,000 --> 01:44:40,040
Speaker 22: So we are working to get that back and I

2083
01:44:40,080 --> 01:44:41,240
Speaker 22: think we'll be there pretty soon.

2084
01:44:41,400 --> 01:44:46,160

2094
01:45:20,120 --> 01:45:34,720
Speaker 9: Collation Relation.

2095
01:45:39,640 --> 01:45:44,360
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here closing

2096
01:45:44,400 --> 01:45:50,120
Speaker 1: out the show with our AI generated song So weird

2097
01:45:50,200 --> 01:45:52,599
Speaker 1: but kind of cool. All right, I got a lot

2098
01:45:52,640 --> 01:45:55,080
Speaker 1: to get to, so let me just start right away here.

2099
01:45:55,920 --> 01:45:59,960
Speaker 1: First off, I've been using a new app called Boy

2100
01:46:01,160 --> 01:46:05,760
Speaker 1: and it is incredible. I highly suggest you go to

2101
01:46:05,880 --> 01:46:09,360
Speaker 1: Voice Nototes dot com and check it out. This is

2102
01:46:09,400 --> 01:46:13,080
Speaker 1: an AI powered note taking app. So what do you do?

2103
01:46:13,280 --> 01:46:17,639
Speaker 1: Anytime you have a thought? You record your voice into

2104
01:46:17,680 --> 01:46:22,160
Speaker 1: the app and it will then transcribe it and it

2105
01:46:22,200 --> 01:46:25,920
Speaker 1: will come up with a witty title for it. And

2106
01:46:25,960 --> 01:46:28,479
Speaker 1: then the magic of this entire system is that it

2107
01:46:28,520 --> 01:46:30,920
Speaker 1: puts everything that you say on a timeline. But wait,

2108
01:46:30,960 --> 01:46:34,320
Speaker 1: there's more. You can also search anything that you've ever

2109
01:46:34,479 --> 01:46:38,519
Speaker 1: said and it's all transcribed things to AI and you

2110
01:46:38,560 --> 01:46:41,920
Speaker 1: can ask. It becomes your own personal chat GBT. So

2111
01:46:42,000 --> 01:46:44,600
Speaker 1: if you one time said that you liked a restaurant

2112
01:46:44,640 --> 01:46:47,200
Speaker 1: in this little city when you were in some travel place.

2113
01:46:47,680 --> 01:46:49,640
Speaker 1: You can ask your AI what was that restaurant I

2114
01:46:49,720 --> 01:46:51,920
Speaker 1: liked in Rome, and it would come up with the answer.

2115
01:46:52,439 --> 01:46:55,040
Speaker 1: It is absolutely incredible. I played with this for about

2116
01:46:55,040 --> 01:46:59,840
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes before I paid for the lifetime subscription, and

2117
01:47:00,080 --> 01:47:03,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's still available, but it's it's

2118
01:47:03,439 --> 01:47:06,680
Speaker 1: you can use it for free, and there are some limitations,

2119
01:47:06,720 --> 01:47:09,080
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you check this out. It is called

2120
01:47:09,200 --> 01:47:12,760
Speaker 1: voicenoes dot com right now, it's a web app. They

2121
01:47:12,840 --> 01:47:16,200
Speaker 1: will have apps for iOS and Android coming soon. It

2122
01:47:16,280 --> 01:47:18,720
Speaker 1: comes from the same people who make that buy Me

2123
01:47:18,760 --> 01:47:22,720
Speaker 1: a Coffee and also biolink, so it comes from a

2124
01:47:22,720 --> 01:47:25,920
Speaker 1: good team that that does some cool stuff. So voice

2125
01:47:26,040 --> 01:47:32,920
Speaker 1: notoes dot com. Let's see Tesla yesterday slashed the price

2126
01:47:32,960 --> 01:47:35,200
Speaker 1: of their full self driving software. It used to be

2127
01:47:35,240 --> 01:47:36,960
Speaker 1: one hundred two hundred dollars a month. Now it's one

2128
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:39,320
Speaker 1: hundred dollars a month. So in the name of you,

2129
01:47:39,600 --> 01:47:42,240
Speaker 1: I subscribed and tried it out. I drove to the

2130
01:47:42,240 --> 01:47:44,719
Speaker 1: show today, or had the car drive to the show,

2131
01:47:45,240 --> 01:47:47,920
Speaker 1: and I will tell you it's scary as can I

2132
01:47:47,920 --> 01:47:51,439
Speaker 1: say hell on this show, it's scary as hell. That's

2133
01:47:52,280 --> 01:47:57,800
Speaker 1: oh my god, Oh my gosh. I'm not kidding, I'm

2134
01:47:58,000 --> 01:48:03,040
Speaker 1: I I this should free the pain and my heart

2135
01:48:03,120 --> 01:48:08,320
Speaker 1: rate during this drive to the show was intense. My

2136
01:48:08,479 --> 01:48:10,920
Speaker 1: car missed the turn onto the freeway ramp. It tried

2137
01:48:10,960 --> 01:48:14,360
Speaker 1: to turn from a non dedicated turn lane. It had

2138
01:48:14,479 --> 01:48:17,640
Speaker 1: erratic behavior. A driver actually honked at me as he

2139
01:48:17,720 --> 01:48:19,679
Speaker 1: went past me because they were like, what the heck

2140
01:48:19,800 --> 01:48:23,479
Speaker 1: is this car doing? It stopped. It fully stopped at

2141
01:48:23,479 --> 01:48:25,599
Speaker 1: a crosswalk when it wasn't supposed to. It's like one

2142
01:48:25,600 --> 01:48:28,439
Speaker 1: of those crosswalks that like, you know, people might cross that,

2143
01:48:28,560 --> 01:48:31,080
Speaker 1: but there's no one in it. It tried to go

2144
01:48:31,120 --> 01:48:35,080
Speaker 1: through a blinking left turn signal. It went right through

2145
01:48:35,080 --> 01:48:37,639
Speaker 1: the meter light on the freeway. Here in California, you've

2146
01:48:37,640 --> 01:48:39,720
Speaker 1: got these little red light green lights that let you

2147
01:48:39,760 --> 01:48:42,240
Speaker 1: onto the freeway at a certain point, and it just

2148
01:48:42,400 --> 01:48:45,880
Speaker 1: blasted right through that didn't even stop for that one.

2149
01:48:46,200 --> 01:48:49,000
Speaker 1: I had to disengage the autopilot when another car cut

2150
01:48:49,040 --> 01:48:53,880
Speaker 1: me off. It just it was all over the place.

2151
01:48:54,080 --> 01:48:58,200
Speaker 1: I tried it twice this morning, and it's amazing. I

2152
01:48:58,240 --> 01:49:02,200
Speaker 1: think if if you're maybe on very simple streets, but

2153
01:49:02,439 --> 01:49:06,120
Speaker 1: on complicated city streets like Los Angeles, it's it's more

2154
01:49:06,240 --> 01:49:10,080
Speaker 1: work to monitor this system and to react or to

2155
01:49:10,120 --> 01:49:12,680
Speaker 1: be ready to react than it is to just drive yourself.

2156
01:49:13,120 --> 01:49:17,160
Speaker 1: So until we are in that complete full self driving autonomy,

2157
01:49:17,600 --> 01:49:19,960
Speaker 1: this is not ready for prime time. I don't think

2158
01:49:19,960 --> 01:49:22,280
Speaker 1: it's even worth the one hundred dollars a month based

2159
01:49:22,320 --> 01:49:26,000
Speaker 1: on the headaches and the stress that it will cause you,

2160
01:49:27,320 --> 01:49:29,840
Speaker 1: so to be continued on that. I will continue to

2161
01:49:29,840 --> 01:49:31,880
Speaker 1: test it for the month. My kids were like, can

2162
01:49:31,880 --> 01:49:34,000
Speaker 1: I take a ride? I said no, I value your life,

2163
01:49:34,439 --> 01:49:38,559
Speaker 1: like not right now, I'm It's just it's a lot.

2164
01:49:40,040 --> 01:49:43,880
Speaker 1: Google's Magic Tools Magic editing tools are coming to all

2165
01:49:43,920 --> 01:49:46,840
Speaker 1: devices for free, so it used to be something you

2166
01:49:46,840 --> 01:49:50,240
Speaker 1: can only get on Pixels or if you paid. Now

2167
01:49:50,520 --> 01:49:54,360
Speaker 1: their AI powered Magic Editor tool will be available for

2168
01:49:54,400 --> 01:49:59,559
Speaker 1: free on Android, iOS, Android and iOS device is starting

2169
01:49:59,600 --> 01:50:03,559
Speaker 1: May fifteenth, so if you download Google Photos on those

2170
01:50:03,560 --> 01:50:06,320
Speaker 1: devices you can use the Magic Editor, which is pretty cool.

2171
01:50:06,640 --> 01:50:09,679
Speaker 1: You're only gonna get ten free edits a month. Pixel

2172
01:50:09,760 --> 01:50:12,320
Speaker 1: users will still get unlimited access, and of course, if

2173
01:50:12,320 --> 01:50:14,760
Speaker 1: you have a non Pixel device, you can subscribe to

2174
01:50:14,800 --> 01:50:18,240
Speaker 1: a Google one plan to get to get that as well.

2175
01:50:18,240 --> 01:50:20,479
Speaker 1: It has to be a two terabyte storage plan, which

2176
01:50:20,520 --> 01:50:24,240
Speaker 1: is what I'm on. But pretty cool Google's under a

2177
01:50:24,240 --> 01:50:27,360
Speaker 1: lot of stress right now between all of these other

2178
01:50:28,120 --> 01:50:30,519
Speaker 1: AI photo editing apps, so they got to do something

2179
01:50:30,560 --> 01:50:33,280
Speaker 1: because they want theirs to be prominent. And also in

2180
01:50:33,360 --> 01:50:37,200
Speaker 1: other Google news, you know that Apple has air tags.

2181
01:50:37,600 --> 01:50:40,400
Speaker 1: Now Google is launching what they call the Find my

2182
01:50:40,680 --> 01:50:45,200
Speaker 1: Device Network. This uses over a billion Android devices to

2183
01:50:45,280 --> 01:50:49,960
Speaker 1: locate lost phones, tablets, headphones, and third party tags. So

2184
01:50:50,160 --> 01:50:52,200
Speaker 1: just like an air tag, there will now be tags

2185
01:50:52,240 --> 01:50:55,200
Speaker 1: that you can use your Android phone to find. And

2186
01:50:55,800 --> 01:50:58,000
Speaker 1: this is gonna be great. If you have an Android phone,

2187
01:50:58,560 --> 01:51:00,160
Speaker 1: you'll be able to find these things you'll have on

2188
01:51:00,240 --> 01:51:06,800
Speaker 1: your keys, on your bigger suitcases, whatever luggage. Pixelate and

2189
01:51:06,800 --> 01:51:09,000
Speaker 1: pixel eight pro even have this cool feature where they

2190
01:51:09,040 --> 01:51:11,280
Speaker 1: can be found when they're powered off or have a

2191
01:51:11,320 --> 01:51:15,360
Speaker 1: dead battery. What kind of witchcraft is that you can

2192
01:51:15,400 --> 01:51:18,200
Speaker 1: find something with a dead battery. There's got to be

2193
01:51:18,240 --> 01:51:20,320
Speaker 1: some sort of battery in there, right, like a small

2194
01:51:20,360 --> 01:51:24,000
Speaker 1: backup battery. Come on, Chippolo is sending me one of

2195
01:51:24,040 --> 01:51:26,120
Speaker 1: their tags to test out. There's gonna be a bunch

2196
01:51:26,120 --> 01:51:30,160
Speaker 1: of these on the market. Sony JBL headphones are gonna

2197
01:51:30,240 --> 01:51:33,600
Speaker 1: update them to support this Find my Device. There is

2198
01:51:33,640 --> 01:51:36,680
Speaker 1: an app that you can download right now it is

2199
01:51:36,800 --> 01:51:42,160
Speaker 1: called find my Devices. I think it's see it's called

2200
01:51:42,240 --> 01:51:47,880
Speaker 1: find my Device app and make sure it's signed by

2201
01:51:47,920 --> 01:51:52,000
Speaker 1: Google LLC. Nothing else. There are some fake apps out there,

2202
01:51:52,040 --> 01:51:54,920
Speaker 1: so it says Google LLC. If that's not the developer,

2203
01:51:55,320 --> 01:51:57,519
Speaker 1: do not get it. All right, let's get to some

2204
01:51:57,560 --> 01:52:02,400
Speaker 1: feedback here, Rich, you blew it. On your last radio show.

2205
01:52:02,680 --> 01:52:05,200
Speaker 1: You talked about swiping your phone's shutter button to take

2206
01:52:05,280 --> 01:52:09,280
Speaker 1: multiple photos at month at once. Then you stated you

2207
01:52:09,320 --> 01:52:11,599
Speaker 1: swipe right to take multiple photos, but you have failed

2208
01:52:11,600 --> 01:52:15,000
Speaker 1: to mention whether you turn the phone clockwise or counterclockwise. Well,

2209
01:52:15,080 --> 01:52:18,280
Speaker 1: to me, I always turn my phone with the charging

2210
01:52:18,320 --> 01:52:21,439
Speaker 1: port when it's horizontal to the right. That's just the

2211
01:52:21,479 --> 01:52:24,240
Speaker 1: way I think is the standard way. So yes, on Samsung,

2212
01:52:24,640 --> 01:52:27,280
Speaker 1: you would take your photo shutter button and you would

2213
01:52:27,280 --> 01:52:29,160
Speaker 1: pull it to the right. On iPhone you would pull

2214
01:52:29,160 --> 01:52:33,400
Speaker 1: it down. That's with your power plug facing to the right.

2215
01:52:34,640 --> 01:52:37,439
Speaker 1: Travis says, hey, Rich, the workaround for watching Apple TV

2216
01:52:37,520 --> 01:52:39,920
Speaker 1: on an Android phone or tablet is to use a

2217
01:52:39,960 --> 01:52:42,559
Speaker 1: browser like Chrome and log into your Apple TV account

2218
01:52:42,600 --> 01:52:46,599
Speaker 1: and cast away. There you go, Travis, thank you, Oh

2219
01:52:46,680 --> 01:52:50,479
Speaker 1: I didn't mention New Weekend show. That's right on KTLA Plus.
