1
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with the Amazon Echo frames. Alexa can now

2
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: answer your door? How much would you have if you

3
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: invested one thousand dollars in a hot tech ipo? Plus

4
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: your tech questions answered? What's going on on?

5
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: Rich Tomiro? And this is rich on.

6
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 1: Tech, the podcast where I talk about the tech stuff

7
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: I think you should know about. And it's also the

8
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 1: place where I answer the questions you send me and

9
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: believe you me yes. Send a lot of them, and

10
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: you might be surprised that I actually respond to a

11
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: majority of them, whether it's by Instagram at richon Tech,

12
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: Facebook dot com, slash rich on Tech, Hello at Richontech,

13
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: dot TV, carrier pigeon, I don't know, see me in

14
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: the streets. Ask me a question that rarely happened right

15
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: now because I'm not out and about as much as

16
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: I used to be. Again, my name is Richard Meiro,

17
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. Welcome

18
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: to the show. I say show because I hope that

19
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: this entertains you, informs you, makes you want to listen again.

20
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 2: That's the whole goal of this.

21
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: Right is to really just share some knowledge. And I

22
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: don't have the answers to everything. Believe me, I don't,

23
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: but I try to answer questions that represent what you're

24
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: sending in what you're asking me, and hopefully things that

25
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: can help other people at large, because you know, we

26
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: think as Techi's that well, I don't, but some people

27
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: think that everyone has the answer when it comes to tech,

28
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: and we don't. We're all just learning, we're all just

29
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: figuring this stuff out, and sometimes you just got to

30
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: go hands on and try it and see and you know,

31
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: just see what's going on with some of this stuff.

32
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: And one of the things that I played around with

33
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: last week which was really really cool is the Cadillac

34
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: Escalade twenty twenty one edition. This has GM supercrus and

35
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: not just Super Crews because that's been around for a while,

36
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: but this one had super Cruise along with hands free

37
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: well hands free I guess driving, and then auto lane change,

38
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: and let me.

39
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 2: Tell you, it was seriously, seriously cool.

40
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I just loved the ability to set this

41
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: car into hands free mode basically drives itself, and then

42
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: if you want to change lanes, it changes lanes. And

43
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: here's the best part about how it changes lanes. It's

44
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: not like me when I change lanes I kind of

45
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: creep over because I'm a little scared there might be

46
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: a car in my blind spot. No, no, No, This thing,

47
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: even though it's a giant car, has so much big

48
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: data surrounding it with all the sensors and you know,

49
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,839
Speaker 1: cameras and whatever it's using to figure this stuff out,

50
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: that it just changes lanes when it knows it can.

51
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: There's no hesitation, there's no wishy washiness.

52
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: It just sort of works. And it was.

53
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: Impres I said one hundred and six thousand dollars car,

54
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: So I'm not buying it anytime soon, but it was

55
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: a really beautiful car. I love where this is going,

56
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: and I think it's just really nice to realize that

57
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: Tesla is not the only company in town when it

58
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: comes to the smart driving stuff and the hands free driving.

59
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: I think that they're way ahead of everyone. But these

60
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: historic car companies are not going to just kind of

61
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: not figure this stuff out right. They are going to

62
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: It took them a little bit longer, but they're getting

63
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: there and the next car that I'll be testing doing

64
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: so I used to do this thing called tech Report

65
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: test drive long time ago at KTLA, and then I

66
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: kind of stopped. I was only doing hybrids, you know,

67
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: like I wanted to do any car that's sort of

68
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: a you know, not just a gas car. Now, the Escalate, yes,

69
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: it was full gas and only you know, fourteen miles

70
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: to the gallon. But you know that's it's because it

71
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: had a feature that's unique. The hands free was unique.

72
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: But also the auto lane was brand new. So for

73
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: that reason, I make an exception. But I generally like

74
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: to test cars that are alternative. You know, they have

75
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: a either hybrid or they are all electric or something else.

76
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: I haven't really done a hydrogen one, but anyway, the

77
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: next one up I'm gonna test out is called the

78
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: Volkswagen ID four.

79
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 2: This is their big electric car.

80
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: I hope I can mention that, but I'm looking forward

81
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: to testing that because there's just so many electric cars

82
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: coming along. I'm in the market for a car in

83
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: the next couple of years, and so when I do that,

84
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to decide am I going to go

85
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: full electric, which I'm leaning towards, or maybe I don't know.

86
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: We'll say so that's my story, sticking to it.

87
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: Let's get some Let's get to some of the news

88
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: of the week.

89
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: Let's see what do we want to start with here,

90
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: Let's start with uh, well, gosh, is there not one

91
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: big story this week?

92
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: Maybe there isn't a missing it.

93
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: But Alexa can now answer your doorbell and ring. I've

94
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: talked about this in the podcast before, but I'm very

95
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: I think it's bullish. Is bullish when you're hot on something? Yeah,

96
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: So I am bullish on Ring because what they're doing

97
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: I think is leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else.

98
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: As far as a full kind of system. I mean,

99
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: there's a million cool security systems out there. I use Weight,

100
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: I use the Wisecam, I've got some nestcams. But when

101
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: you really look at like if you wanted a full

102
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: solution for everything around your house, when you look at Ring,

103
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got so many products. It's like they're

104
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: coming out with new stuff all the time. And so

105
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: now they have this cool new feature. Three new features, Okay,

106
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: they're called smart Responses, and there's kind of three of them.

107
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 1: So the first is Alexa Greeting. So if you have

108
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: a Ring Video Doorbell Pro and you're a Ring protect subscriber,

109
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: which you probably should be if you have a Ring

110
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: because it's like three bucks a month, then it gives

111
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: you access to recordings. If not, then you can only

112
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: live stream your camera, which would not be very good.

113
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: But Alexa can greet visitors when they ring the doorbell,

114
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: and then she can kind of go back and forth

115
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: with them, so the person can say, you know, it'd

116
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: be like hey this Alexa, can I help you? And

117
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: it'll be like, hey, I have a package for rich

118
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: and then she can say like does it need a signature?

119
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: And you can even tell the delivery person where to

120
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: put the package, so that's really cool. Then you've got

121
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: quick replies and this is for all of the doorbells

122
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: from Ring and when you don't feel like answering or

123
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: you're not there, it can leave six preset responses like

124
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: we can't answer the door right now, leave a message,

125
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: leave the package outside, or you can. You know, there's

126
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: like six of these things, which I thought was really cool.

127
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: Now the catch here is that if they leave a

128
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: recorded message, you'll only see it if again, you're a

129
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: Ring Protect subscriber, so otherwise, you know, if you look

130
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: at a ring video doorbell, it's good if you want

131
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: to just watch out your front door when someone rings

132
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: and get that live view, but the reality is you

133
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: probably want a record of everyone that rings your doorbell

134
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: or comes near it with the motion, So in that

135
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: case you need to be a Ring Protect subscriber and

136
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: you can see your event history and these messages people

137
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: are leaving, so that's cool. And finally, motion warnings, and

138
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: this is just kind of a no brainer.

139
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: One.

140
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: Motion warnings say an audible alert when someone triggers a recording,

141
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: So if they come near one of your cameras, whether

142
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: it's a spotlight cam, a floodlight cam, an indoorcam, or

143
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: a wired doorbell. This only works with wired doorbells.

144
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 2: It will say.

145
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: Warning, you're now being monitored and recorded by Ring and

146
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: that's a cool detern as well. And again, these are

147
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: all really cool features. The problem is that they don't

148
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: necessarily work with everything, and so I think that's kind

149
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: of the you know, the only problem with these things

150
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: is that you have to know exactly which doorbell you

151
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: have and figure out which one of these things works

152
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: with them, because not everything works.

153
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 2: And I understand why.

154
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: I think Ring has this thing where like a lot

155
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: of it's robells are battery powered, and it can't just

156
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: introduce all these features on battery powered doorbells. A battery

157
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: go dead in like a day. Cody says, Hey, Rich,

158
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: I'm looking for a reliable mobile faxing app that provides

159
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: the best value. Can you please suggest one. I love

160
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: watching your segments on KTLA. Thank you well, Cody. I

161
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: have what I use, and what I have been using

162
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: for a long time is it's kind of a one

163
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: to two punch. I don't really fax, but I do

164
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: use a I will sign things and then email them.

165
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: So what I use for that is called Hello Facts

166
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: if you need to fax something, and Hello Fax is fantastic.

167
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: It's now owned by Dropbox and it's great. And so

168
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: if I've never really had a problem with sending faxes,

169
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: like I think it's always been free, but it's it's

170
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: free for up to five fax pages and then after

171
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: that it's ten dollars a month for up to three

172
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: hundred fax pages. Now I don't really understand. I feel

173
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: like I've never had to actually pay for it, but

174
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: maybe I don't know.

175
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 2: Let me look at what I use. So what I use.

176
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: The other thing that I use is called Hello Sign again,

177
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: same company, now owned by Dropbox. But that's you know,

178
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: so the difference is Hello Sign you sign it in

179
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: your browser and then you download it or you email it,

180
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: whereas with Hello Facts, you would actually fax it out.

181
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: So when I look at pricing for Hello Sign, yeah, okay,

182
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: so you get this is why I've never had to

183
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: pay for Hello Sign because it's three signature requests per month,

184
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: and I've never had to use more than that. I mean,

185
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: if I was, you know, I usually use this for

186
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: like freelance gigs that I pick up here and there.

187
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: So if I get a freelance gig and I have

188
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: to sign a contract for some sort of you know deal,

189
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: like when I hosted CES, I will use Hello Sign.

190
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: And that's why I've never I've never done more than

191
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: three in a month. That would be an amazing thing.

192
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: I don't think why schedule could handle more than three.

193
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: But if I could, hate I mean, if you got

194
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: a project, call me.

195
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 2: But wow. So those are the two I recommend. Hello

196
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 2: Sign and Hello Facts. That's it.

197
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: I mean, there's also e Facts. I mean that's been

198
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: around forever and ever and ever.

199
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 2: You can use that.

200
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: And there are some assorted apps on Android. There was

201
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: one I was actually at a doctor's office. This was

202
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: so long ago, but I was at a doctor's office.

203
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: And I had something on my phone that they needed,

204
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: like I don't know if it was a prescription or

205
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,599
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes when you get a referral, you have

206
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: to like show them, and they couldn't look at it

207
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: on my phone for some reason. They couldn't take an email,

208
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: but they could take a fax, and so I said,

209
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: all right, let me see if I can fax for

210
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: my phone. And sure enough I was able to fax

211
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: for my phone and it worked great, and the person

212
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: behind the desk was very impressed, even though they weren't

213
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: as impressed as I wanted them to be, because I'm

214
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: always like, oh, can you you know, like I really wanted.

215
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

216
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: So I'm looking for this on my library and I

217
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: and my Android, and I can't really find it right

218
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: off the top here because my kid is downloaded so

219
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: many games that they're all taking up. I gotta go

220
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: through and clean that up. Anyway I would, I would

221
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: just use those two Hello sign Hello facts, and I

222
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: think those will be great for you. All right, let's

223
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: go to let's see some other news. Hm, let's see here,

224
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: let's talk about oh, you know what, let me talk

225
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: about the echo frames because I am obsessed. It has

226
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: been so long that I've gotten a gadget where I

227
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: just am like so infatuated with the gadget and the

228
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: Amazon Echo frames are that gadget. Now, I'm not saying

229
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: you need to rush out and buy these. I'm not

230
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: saying that you need to purchase these or you know, anything,

231
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: but I'm just saying this is where we're headed. And

232
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: it's so clear when I try a gadget like this

233
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: that there is still a lot of room for things

234
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: to just sort of amaze us in the future.

235
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: When it comes to technology.

236
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: The last thing, you know, it's like the iPhone, the iPad,

237
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: a couple things like that, little you know, little gadgets

238
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: here and there. But these are just magical. So there

239
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: are pair glasses two hundred and fifty dollars. They've got

240
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: speakers built in, They've got microphones built in. You charge

241
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: them up and you put them on and next thing

242
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: you know, you've got hands free access to Alexa. But

243
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: you've also got these little speakers on your ears at

244
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: all times. So that means you can listen to music,

245
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: you can listen to podcasts, you can make phone calls.

246
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: It sinks perfectly with your iPhone, sinks perfectly with Android

247
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: I tested it. You can activate Siri through it, not

248
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: hands free, but you can tap on the side of

249
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: the device. Yeah, Siri activated on my iPad here, no

250
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: please stop, go away, But you can activate you know

251
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: who and also Google Assistant by tapping and holding on

252
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: the side of the device and that works perfectly. So

253
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: I've just been loving these things. I mean, I've been

254
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: walking around the block with them on, listening to podcasts,

255
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: I've been working at my desk. And the beauty of

256
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: them is that there's nothing in your ears, so it

257
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: does not feel like you're wearing headphones, and you wouldn't

258
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: wear headphones at work all day.

259
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 2: I don't know.

260
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: Maybe some people can wear them on their computer all day.

261
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: I'm not one of those people, but with these, I can't.

262
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: And I can have nice ambient music if I'm you know,

263
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: I can't really have too much going on if I'm

264
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: trying to concentrate on jamming out a script or something.

265
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 2: But if I'm just kind of casually.

266
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: Browsing the web, looking at stories, reading stuff gently, then

267
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: I could, you know, listen to some soft music, you know,

268
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: like some instrumental stuff.

269
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 2: Man, everything's just blown up on me right here. That

270
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 2: was one of my stories. So I'm really impressed.

271
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: Two fifty you can get your your own prescription lenses

272
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: put in them, and I just think they're really great.

273
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: I think they are there. They're the second generation, so

274
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: there's more to come. But if I wore glasses, I

275
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: think that I would definitely get these. I don't wear glasses,

276
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: so I don't necessarily need them. And the thing is

277
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: they send them with like window panes, but I think

278
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: that they're missing an opportunity here to do like blue blocker.

279
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: And I know I did a story and they said

280
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: blue blockers don't really do anything, but I think that

281
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: you would feel better knowing that you were wearing blue

282
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: blocker glasses all day long versus just wearing window panes

283
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 1: all day long, right, So why not just put a

284
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: little blue blocker in there so that you get that?

285
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 2: So I just really really impressed.

286
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: Battery life, audio quality could be a little bit improved,

287
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: but so far, so good. Amazon, very very impressed, very lightweight,

288
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: just really really cool.

289
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 2: So just so impressed with those. I can't get over

290
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 2: it all. Right.

291
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: Another thing that I tested out this week is the

292
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: Tula mic. I think I talked about this, but this

293
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: is a microphone that's a USB mic, but it also

294
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: records into itself, so you can use it for your

295
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: zoom calls, or you can use it to just record stuff.

296
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: And it's a great little microphone.

297
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 2: I love it.

298
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: I think it sounds good and I recorded a podcast

299
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: episode in it a couple of weeks ago. I probably

300
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: told you this story already, but I just think it's

301
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: a really cool little mic. Again, it's two hundred dollars,

302
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: so it's expensive, but you'd do get a lot for

303
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: that price. I mean you get the internal memory recording.

304
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: So let's say you want to record your podcast in

305
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: the field, you just have to have this mic and

306
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: that's it. Nothing else. I mean, how much easier does

307
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: it get. You don't have to have a computer, you

308
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: don't have to have a fancy setup. You just do

309
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: that and it's done. So I thought that was really cool.

310
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: Those are two gadgets I tested this week. I've got

311
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: the reviews on my website, rich on tech dot tv

312
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: if you want to read more about them.

313
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 2: Let's get to another question.

314
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: Gil says, Oh my god, Rich, I love those Alexa glasses,

315
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: but concerned about privacy issues, isn't this another way of

316
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: collecting more data about our personal.

317
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 2: Activities and choices.

318
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: Should we just accept the fact that nothing is sacred

319
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: any longer? Egad? What does egad mean? I don't know, egad,

320
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. Gil, have a magical day, egad? I

321
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: don't oh expressing surprise, anger, or affirmation. Okay, I didn't egad. Okay,

322
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: I learned something new today. Never saw that word? Okay, Gil,

323
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: great segue from the I just talked about these you know,

324
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: is it collecting more information? I'd have to look at

325
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: the privacy policy of the Echo frames to see. But

326
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: to be completely honest with this stuff, you know what,

327
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: I am one of those people that, yes, I am

328
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: concerned about privacy. I think that we should have a

329
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: we should have privacy, and we should have a respectable

330
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: sort of understanding of that privacy when it comes to

331
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: these smart devices, like a reasonable expectation, I should say,

332
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: if you get one of these smart speakers in your

333
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: home and you put it in your room, it should

334
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: not The expectation is that it's not listening and sending

335
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: all that data back twenty four to seven to Google

336
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: or Amazon or Apple. But sometimes they do misfire and

337
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: they do activate, and they do catch things off guard. Now,

338
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: are these Echo frames collecting any more data?

339
00:16:59,440 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 2: I don't know.

340
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: I mean, they don't have GPS on them, although I

341
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: did notice that the Alexa app asked for my GPS

342
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: location when I installed it on my Android. I don't

343
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,719
Speaker 1: know about iOS, but so it could you know if

344
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: you're wearing them. It may know where you're wearing them,

345
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: and how often and for how long of course, the

346
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: commands that you use. So yes, there is definitely a

347
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: privacy issue, and I think that when it comes to

348
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: any of these smart home gadgets, you have to weigh

349
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: the pros and the cons. Are the benefits you get

350
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: out of these glasses worth the extra data that Amazon

351
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: gets on you? And by that extra data, you know,

352
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: it's like I said, some of the location data, some

353
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: of the things you're asking it may pick up things

354
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: in the background that you didn't intend it to. But

355
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: we have to decide what level we're comfortable with. Personally,

356
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: I'm comfortable with a lot of that stuff. I think

357
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 1: what I'm not comfortable with is things that collect personal information, like.

358
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 2: You know, financing, banking. That kind of stuff is.

359
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: Where I draw the line. I'm very critical about that.

360
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: But when it comes to like where.

361
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 2: I am, where I'm using things, I'm not.

362
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: Totally totally concerned because you know, I kind of I'm

363
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: getting something in return for some of the uh you know,

364
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: some of the different services that I use. So that's

365
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: I know, it's not the best answer in the world,

366
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: but the reality is we just kind of have to.

367
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: Every one of us just has to do what we

368
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 1: feel is best. And I get people that say I'll

369
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: never put a Google device in my house because of

370
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: this stuff, and I get other people that have a

371
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 1: ton of them, like myself, and again, it just depends

372
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 1: on what your level of comfort is. So it's a

373
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: good question and it's something we do need to keep

374
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: in mind. And when I do stories with any any uh,

375
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: you know, app developer or anything that I do a

376
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: story on, at this point, I do ask if I

377
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: do an interview about the privacy implications of those devices,

378
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 1: And that's just the reality of it. All right, Let's

379
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: let's see here, let's talk about let's.

380
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 2: Just do a quick one. Disney plus ninety almost ninety

381
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 2: five million customers.

382
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: In fact, they probably do have ninety five million, because

383
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: this was according to Variety as of January second twenty

384
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: twenty one, they had ninety four point nine million, which

385
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: is more than eight million extra in one month. So

386
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: that tops Disney's original projections of having ninety million subscribers

387
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 1: within the first four years.

388
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 2: I think it's been just over a year.

389
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: Right, a year and a half, So it's Disney Plus

390
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: is killing it, and it's it's amazing to see a

391
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: company like Disney that people love and they've they've done

392
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: a great job in the historic world of entertainment. And

393
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: I say historic when I mean like broadcast movies, that

394
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, and it's good to see a company

395
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: that can just as nimbly adapt to the new reality

396
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: of streaming of you know, twenty five seven access movies

397
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: that are not going to theaters. They're just going straight

398
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: to video. And they're doing pretty well. So if you

399
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: do ninety ninety five million times, let's see, it's seven

400
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: bucks a month something like that. So that's uh so

401
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: six hundred and sixty five million dollars a month they

402
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: are generating off of Disney Plus. I'd call that a win.

403
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: That is pretty good. Now they pale in comparison to Netflix.

404
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: I think Netflix has I don't know, I don't well

405
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: how many Netflix subscribers do they have. Let's see, this

406
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: is uh, let's see they have okay, two hundred almost

407
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: two hundred million to double. Okay, so they're doing pretty well.

408
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's pretty good for something that came out.

409
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 2: You know.

410
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: The trick of all these streaming services is that they

411
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: just need to have one thing that you want to

412
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: watch every single time you're ready to cancel. So if

413
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: you're watching WandaVision right now, it's like you watch that

414
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: and then okay, oh, now there's a movie for my kids, Okay,

415
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: we'll keep. And I don't think a lot of people

416
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: are rushing to cancel Disney Plus just because it's Disney

417
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: Plus and if you have kids is kind of a given.

418
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: Netflix overall is kind of a given. I think, you know, Hulu,

419
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: all the rest of them are sort of on a

420
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: case by case basis. HBO Max is really picking up

421
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: some steam now. I think that, you know, for me personally,

422
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: with the diversity of how many folks we have in

423
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: the house, we have four different people, different ages, my wife, me,

424
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,959
Speaker 1: my two kids, and of course all the assorted klingons

425
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,959
Speaker 1: that are that are perhaps sharing my accounts in different places.

426
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 2: You know, everyone has something that they're watching all the time.

427
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 2: And so whenever I approach.

428
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: The you know, let's cancel Netflix. Eh, not canceling Netflix. Oh,

429
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: let's cancel Disney Plus because there's nothing right now. No,

430
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: we're not canceling that. Let's cancel Hulu. No, we're watching

431
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 1: I mean, my wife and I are watching this new

432
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: show on Hulu that's you know, it's just a silly show.

433
00:21:58,720 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 2: It's called Call.

434
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: Your your Mom, Call your mother. Yeah, call your mother,

435
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: and it's just silly. But we're watching it, and so

436
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: it's like, we're not going to cancel right now after

437
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: episode three, We're just going to continue watching it. So

438
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of what all these things do

439
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: and the more stuff that they have, and this is

440
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: why they're they have such an you know, an emphasis

441
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: on new programming is there's a lot of different people watching,

442
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: and so you need to have stuff that appeals to

443
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: different people because.

444
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 2: Not everything's gonna appeal to everyone.

445
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 1: This is no longer broadcast networks with a show that

446
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: you know, appeals to the mass audience. There are so

447
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: many little shows on Netflix to discover and Hulu and

448
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: all these other services that you know, one size does

449
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: not fit all anymore. And sometimes if you have a

450
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: hit that bubbles up and does reach that mass market appeal,

451
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: that's when you know you have a winner. And that's

452
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,719
Speaker 1: when you really really seal the deal with folks, because

453
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: that's when you know you're considered very successful. And that's

454
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: really it's not the goal, I would say, but when

455
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: it happens, it's it's a pretty good feeling, all right,

456
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: all right, Bill writes in. Bill says, Hey, Rich, I've

457
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: been listening to your podcast for a relatively short time,

458
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: but I've learned to pay attention to your advice. I

459
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: have all Apple, seven year old MacBook Pro, two iPhones,

460
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: and an ancient Macmini. I am looking for a password

461
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: manager and malware destroyer. My son also has recommended web roote.

462
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: I use clean my Mac. I feel like I did

463
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: this question ALRIGHTY did I do this question? I think

464
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: I did this question already. I'm gonna so maybe we'll

465
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: I should keep track of the questions that I do

466
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: because I'm looking at the date. Okay, this is weird.

467
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the date of this question, and the

468
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: original question was written to me on September thirteenth, which

469
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: I can't.

470
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 2: That can't be right.

471
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: But then the update was written on Sunday, September seventh.

472
00:23:58,119 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: He said, Oh, I forgot to tell you I have

473
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: a seven iPhone seven and eight plus. I don't know

474
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: you know anyway, Let's see what the question is.

475
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 2: Uh, I use Clean my Mac.

476
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: My point is, if I'm gonna pay a fee monthly

477
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 1: or annually, you know, I want something easy to use

478
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: and effective.

479
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 2: Thank you for all the help.

480
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: So okay, malware destroyer, I would say, uh, Clean my

481
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 1: Mac is a great is a great product, and they

482
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: do have some malware scanning stuff in there. I also

483
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: think malware bytes is really good. So if I were you,

484
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: I would use Clean my Mac on your Mac. You have,

485
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: let's see a seven year old MacBook Pro and an

486
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: ancient Macmini. Now, when it comes to the iPhones, sorry

487
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: to burst your bubble, but you don't need anything on there.

488
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,959
Speaker 1: There's no there's nothing that's gonna find malware on an iPhone.

489
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 1: There's no antivirus that's gonna work on there. It's just

490
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: iPhone doesn't work that way. So don't worry about the iPhones.

491
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: They're gonna be just fine as long as you're not

492
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: jail breaking them, which I don't think you are, but

493
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: the rest of them, yeah, I would definitely recommend Clean

494
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: my Mac or malware Bytes. Maybe start with malware Bytes

495
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: I think they have a free version and then move

496
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: up to Clean my Mac because you there is a

497
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: subscription aspect to Clean my Mac and you can either

498
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 1: do set app, which is you said that in your email,

499
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: which is kind of a recurring subscription. I think it's

500
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: ten dollars a month or you can just pay one time,

501
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: or you can pay for the year.

502
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 2: So you have to decide, you.

503
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: Know how much you want this and how many devices

504
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: you want to install it on, and how much you're

505
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: willing to pay.

506
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 2: But that is what I would recommend, all right.

507
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 1: Just a quick quick note, this is a little bit

508
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 1: of news out of Visible. Visible is a service that

509
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: I fully, fully recommend. There are two alternative carriers that

510
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: I really like. One of them is mint Mobile, the

511
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: other one is Visible, And I also like Cricket as well.

512
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 1: And these carriers what's unique about them? Cricket and Visible

513
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: are both sort of I don't know Cricket. I think

514
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: Cricket is a subsidiary of AT and T. I know

515
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: they run on AT and T. Is Cricket owned by

516
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: AT and T. By AT and T, I think it is, uh,

517
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: you know what Cricket. Yeah, Cricket is owned by AT

518
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: and T. So you've got Cricket that's owned by AT

519
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: and T. Then you've got Visible that's owned by Verizon.

520
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 1: And the thing about these carriers is that they have

521
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: a whole separate brand identity so that they can operate

522
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: sort of independently. But they're using the AT and T network,

523
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: and they're using the Verizon network in the case of Visible,

524
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: so in mint use is not owned by T Mobile,

525
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: but they use T Mobiles network, So it kind of

526
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: depends which network you want, which one's the strongest.

527
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 2: In your area.

528
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: But Visible is really really cool because it's unlimited for

529
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: forty dollars a month, and now they're offering five G.

530
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: So it's capped up to two hundred megabits per second,

531
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 1: but I mean, hey, it's five G and you get

532
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 1: that fast speed.

533
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 2: It used to be Visible was.

534
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: Capped at five megabits per second, so two hundred is

535
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: pretty good. And now you get calling to Canada, Mexico, US,

536
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, And I think, what the

537
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,719
Speaker 1: most important thing they have in their new announcement is

538
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: e SIM compatibility. So it used to be the biggest

539
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: problem with setting up Visible is that you had to

540
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: get one of their SIM cards. And for the average

541
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: person that's doing this, that's a little tricky, Like you know,

542
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: it's it's not something that everyone's familiar with. It's not

543
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 1: something that makes a lot of sense to people. Plus

544
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 1: you have to wait, so there's no impulse buy for Visible.

545
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: You can't just say I'm gonna switch today. You have

546
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: to do all this research and all of a sudden

547
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, I'm not gonna wait a couple of

548
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: days to get this SIM card, and it kind of

549
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: takes the fun out of it. So now with eSIM,

550
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: you can activate a device from home fifteen minutes or

551
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 1: less using an eSIM compatible device. Those devices right now

552
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: include pretty much all the recent iPhones from the iPhone

553
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: ten S to the twelve Promacs, also the second gen

554
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 1: iPhone S. And then they say that androids are coming soon.

555
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: So I think this is a huge win for Visible

556
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: that they're embracing the because now you can kind of

557
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 1: hear about Visible for me right now on this podcast

558
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: and then look on your iPhone, do the research, see

559
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: if it works for you, and boom, you can switch

560
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: instantly right from your iPhone. If you have an iPhone

561
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: tennis TENNS max ten R eleven twelve se, I mean,

562
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: any of those phones, you can just switch right away

563
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: in your settings. That's really really cool. And you basically,

564
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: I think, you just scan a QR code in your setting.

565
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: So the other neat thing about Visible is that you

566
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: can have up to four people in your They call

567
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: it a party. This is kind of like you just

568
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: group up with friends or family and you don't pay

569
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: each other's bills, but you're sort of just like in

570
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: a group, and you take down your bill by five

571
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: dollars a month. So if you have let's say you

572
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: join Visible and you love it, and then you tell

573
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: your brother that, oh my gosh, you need to join this.

574
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 2: And here's my.

575
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: Little referral thing. Not referral, it's just you party up.

576
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how you do it. You link up

577
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: in the in the setting, some guessing, and now you

578
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: each pay thirty five dollars a month. And then when

579
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: you say to your sister, hey, we're both on this.

580
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: This is really cool. Why don't you join in and

581
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: now she pays thirty dollars a month, and you pay

582
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: thirty dollars a month, and you all pay thirty. So

583
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: it's kind of like you're linking up together and keeping

584
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: each other all on this system. And I guess that's

585
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: kind of the difference between a referral and you're all

586
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: sticking to this. If one person drops out of the party,

587
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: everyone's price goes up, so there's a little peer pressure

588
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: to sort.

589
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 2: Of all stay on board. And I don't know.

590
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: I got my brother to join Visible and he loves it.

591
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: The only thing is, this is the big downside, and

592
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: this is why I haven't signed up my wife, because

593
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: I would one hundred percent sign her up for this tomorrow.

594
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: The problem is, and save like eighty about fifty bucks

595
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: a month on Verizon, is that they don't support Apple watches.

596
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: Now they should, but they don't, And so that's the

597
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: only thing keeping me from signing up my wife for Visible.

598
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: I would actually probably sign up now as well, now

599
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: that they support five G. I don't need more than

600
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: two hundred megabits. I mean, yeah, it's nice sometimes when

601
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: you're out in a boat out and you get these super

602
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: fast five G speeds, but two hundred megabits per second

603
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: is plenty fast for me. So anyway, check out Visible

604
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: if you are looking to switch carriers, want to save

605
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: some money. Prepaid for everything for forty bucks a month.

606
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's pretty darn good. So all right,

607
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: Bonnie says, I'm getting the COVID shot, and I want

608
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: to know if there's any apps out there that are

609
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: accepted for travel outside of the United States. I would

610
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: like to start traveling and want to know what app

611
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: I should have in my phone Android to show that

612
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: I receive the shot. Thank you for any help you

613
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: can provide. I can't find any app online yet, as

614
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: most vendors seem to be working on process. Yeah, Bonnie,

615
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: there is nothing that I know of right now that

616
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: is a universally accepted COVID vaccine passcard that you can

617
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: have on your phone. So if you are getting the

618
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: vaccine or got it, you'll get a little card from

619
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: the CDC. You see a lot of people tweeting them

620
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: that right now is your only proof of getting the

621
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: shot now. As a tech person, I of course one

622
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: hundred percent agree with what you're talking about. There should

623
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: be a card on both Google Wallet or Google Play

624
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: or sorry, Google Pay and also Apple Wallet that you

625
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: would show and it would be have a digital barcode

626
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: that they can scan and verify.

627
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 2: Now, I don't know why this wasn't done from day one.

628
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,239
Speaker 1: I mean, if I was in the government and I

629
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: was giving out these shots, I would say, hey, we're

630
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: a high tech world, we're a high tech society, Like,

631
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: let's get this card that all the countries agree on

632
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: is acceptable, and let's get a barcode that links it

633
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: back to the CDC.

634
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 2: And I don't know, maybe that's too big government. I

635
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 2: don't know.

636
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: I mean, all I'm saying is that it would you know,

637
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: it would be nice to have that card. I've seen

638
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: a couple, you know, friends and family get them. I

639
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: haven't gotten the vaccine yet, but I've seen friends and

640
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: family get them that you know, it's a CDC card

641
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: and that's it. It's like if you if you have

642
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: kids and they get the vaccine at their doctor, they

643
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,719
Speaker 1: have this little card. It's like a yellow carr that folds.

644
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: And my kids have had it since, you know, since

645
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: they were born. I mean, how antiquated is that that

646
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: someone literally signs a little card that says your kid

647
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: got a vaccine, and I think they might put a

648
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: little sticker from the vaccine vile on it maybe, but

649
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: it's like you gotta keep that. Well, it's just so like,

650
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: that's so old school. Let's get Let's at least have

651
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: an option where you can have the card, the old

652
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: school cardboard card, but also a card on your iPhone.

653
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: That would be fantastic, That's what I would like. And

654
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: if you had that, Yeah, then you go to the

655
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: airport boom, you're traveling to Hawaii, you show him your card.

656
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: I'm vaccinated. And yes, there's gonna be a lot of

657
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: fraud with this stuff. I think people are probably faking

658
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: this stuff already or in the future if it's required

659
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:47,479
Speaker 1: for various things, people will be faking it. But you know,

660
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: we gotta, we gotta think high tech. We gotta and

661
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: I get it. Not everyone wants this stuff, but you

662
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: can also have both ways. And if you have the card,

663
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: the physical card, and an option to put it into

664
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: your Apple wall, I think that would be really really cool.

665
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: All right, Apple Watch now on one hundred million risks.

666
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: This is from above avalon dot Com. Five and a

667
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: half years, one hundred million people are wearing it.

668
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 2: That's pretty impressive.

669
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: At the end of twenty twenty, approximately ten percent of

670
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: iPhone users, we're wearing an Apple Watch. That is amazing. Now,

671
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: this is what I don't understand. How does this make sense.

672
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: At the end of twenty twenty, approximately ten percent of

673
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: iPhone users were wearing an Apple Watch. Then it says

674
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: at the end of twenty twenty, approximately thirty five percent

675
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: of iPhone users.

676
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 2: Oh in the US.

677
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: Okay, got it, So thirty five percent of the iPhone

678
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: users in the US are wearing.

679
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 2: An Apple Watch. That's pretty impressive. Let's see.

680
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: So what is driving adoption wearables? Fundamentals Leveraging new form

681
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: factors and design, They're making technology more personal. I would

682
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: totally agree with that. Like, you know, ring is a

683
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: perfect sample. I mean, here it is. When someone is

684
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: near my front door, I literally get a picture of

685
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: them sent to my Apple Watch.

686
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 2: I mean, how cool is that.

687
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: It's just and it's instantaneous, it's fast, and it's one

688
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: of those things where, yeah, it could be sent to

689
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 1: your phone, but I'm in my house. I don't always

690
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: have my phone nearby or on me, and so of

691
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: course I would miss that all the time. But by

692
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,959
Speaker 1: getting that little picture sent to my watch. It's like, okay,

693
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: it takes two seconds. You look at your wrist, you say, oh, okay, cool,

694
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 1: someone's outside just got my mail delivered. Risk appeal everything

695
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 1: for a great line of site for snippets of text

696
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: and data. The cool factor Apple ecosystem.

697
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:36,720
Speaker 2: I agree.

698
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: When I go running and I've got the Apple Watch

699
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: along with the AirPods, that is a I can't say,

700
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: and I've talked about it before on this podcast, is

701
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: just an amazing combination.

702
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 2: It just works so well.

703
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: Although I have been having problems with my AirPods lately.

704
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 1: They a little more unreliable than they ever have been.

705
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: But anyway, Apple Watch continues to get more popular. I

706
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: know that the last couple Apple events they've mentioned, how

707
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: you know, it is like not just the most popular

708
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: smart watch in the world, but like one of the

709
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: most popular watches in the world at this point, which

710
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: is great for Apple because it's a it's a huge

711
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: growth area. I mean, I think every person I know

712
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: that gets an Apple Watch just absolutely falls in love

713
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,720
Speaker 1: with it, except for one person I know, he doesn't

714
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: really wear it that much. But for the most most

715
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: people I know, I mean, they really really love the

716
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: Apple Watch, and it's it's pretty easy to understand why.

717
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: It's just a great device that compliments your phone in

718
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: so many different ways. I mean just little things like

719
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: when I'm out and about and you know, let's say

720
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: my phone is in the other room and someone calls

721
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: me and I can just answer the call my Apple

722
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: Watch real quick.

723
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 2: That is great.

724
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: If I'm out in a run and i can run

725
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: without my phone because I've got a cellular connection. So

726
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: it's just it's just pretty wild the things that they

727
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: have done on this watch that I think.

728
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 2: It's just really really amazing.

729
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: All right, a couple other stories here. There's so many

730
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: little stories. Let's see. This is a cool website.

731
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 2: One thousand dot in, one thousand dot in. This is

732
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 2: a website that tells.

733
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: You how much would you have if you invested one

734
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: thousand dollars in an ipo. Now I've probably told you

735
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: this story before. I feel like I'm telling a lot

736
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: of stories over. I've been doing this podcast for a

737
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: long time, so sometimes I tell stories over and over.

738
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: But I will never forget. I was okay, so anyway this,

739
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: I'll tell you the story in a second. But this

740
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: website one thousand in tells you you put in a

741
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: stock ticker symbol, and it tells you how much you

742
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: would have if you put one thousand dollars in their ipo. So,

743
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: for instance, Netflix, if you put one thousand dollars in

744
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, if you put one thousand dollars in

745
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: Netflix on May twenty third, two thousand and two. Now,

746
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: mind you, thousand dollars is a lot of money, but

747
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like that much money when you're talking

748
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: about investing.

749
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 2: Okay, one thousand bucks, are you ready?

750
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: You would have as a February twelfth, twenty twenty one,

751
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:05,280
Speaker 1: the damn recording this four hundred and seventy seven thousand,

752
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: eight hundred and fifty dollars. Oh, hold on, that's that

753
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: is just I'm I'm shocked right now, A one thousand

754
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 1: dollars would become five hundred thousand dollars.

755
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 2: You could retire.

756
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 1: Or just be very comfortable with your retirement if you were,

757
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: you know, oh my gosh, that's almost twenty years later,

758
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand bucks, a return of forty seven thousand,

759
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: six hundred and eighty five percent. Okay, So with that

760
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: in mind, this is just a fun website where you

761
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: can just type in a bunch of different ticker symbols

762
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: and see what the deal is. But I'll tell you

763
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: my story so I'll never forget. I was in Shreveport, Louisiana,

764
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: working as a lowly, lowly paid reporter at the station there.

765
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: I was very happy, but you know, you don't make

766
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: a lot of money when you're when you're in you know,

767
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: reporting in general, but small markets especially.

768
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 2: But I you know, but I.

769
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: Had a couple a little bit of money to my name, right,

770
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: I'd saved a little bit of money, and I'll never forget.

771
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 2: There's a company called Google that was ipoing.

772
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 1: And I asked my wife, I said, hey, my girlfriend

773
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: at the time, I said, Lynn, this company called Google,

774
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: which you know, we know we've heard of, is ipoing

775
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: and I think it was about forty two dollars for

776
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 1: the IPO. I said, should I put a couple thousand

777
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: bucks into this? And that's all I had to my

778
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: whole name might have been like two or three thousand dollars.

779
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 2: Uh.

780
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 1: And she said, oh, Rich, come on, like what if

781
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: you lose it all? Like, you know, come on, We're

782
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: not in a place to do that. And I said, oh,

783
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 1: you're right. You're right, You're right. Now, mind you, as

784
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: a reporter, I don't generally invest in fact, I have

785
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: no individual stocks, especially covering technology. Back then I wasn't

786
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: covering technology, but now I don't. As a rule don't

787
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: have any individual stocks. I'm not sure if I'm even

788
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: allowed to.

789
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 2: I don't know.

790
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: I'd have to check with my company, But in general

791
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 1: i'd just do like mutual funds, right, like just put

792
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: the money in there for one k whatever. But this

793
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: was a time in my life life when I was like,

794
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: let me, let me try this, and so anyway, we

795
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: didn't do it. And now thanks to this website, let's

796
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: see so Google, Okay, this makes perfect sense because it

797
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: says if you would have invested one thousand dollars in

798
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: alphabet stocks back in August nineteenth, two thousand and four,

799
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 1: So that exactly.

800
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 2: Lines up with my story.

801
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: That is when I was in Louisiana two thousand and four,

802
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: and we left right at the end of that For

803
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: that we left the next summer in two thousand and five,

804
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: and so yes, my story was true.

805
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 2: I would have.

806
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:35,240
Speaker 1: Forty one thousand, six hundred and sixty five dollars. Now

807
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: when you look at that compared to Netflix. I should

808
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: have invested in Netflix, not Google, but I didn't invest

809
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: in either, so it doesn't matter. But still, again, I'll

810
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: be honest, forty one thousand, six sixty five sounds great,

811
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 1: but when you compare it to Netflix, you get ten

812
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: times at So I don't feel like I lost out

813
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: that much.

814
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 2: I mean, it would have been nice.

815
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: But okay, yeah, sure I wish I had this, but

816
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: still anyway, and I'll put it in the show notes,

817
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: just a cool little you know site that can lets

818
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 1: you reminisce about all those times you lost out.

819
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 2: You know. Look, and if you want to do the

820
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,359
Speaker 2: individual individual stock thing, that's fine. I don't.

821
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: I don't believe me. I don't fault you for it

822
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: to me personally. I just I don't have the time

823
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: and effort to invest in those individual stocks.

824
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 2: I just can't. I'm not smart enough to do that.

825
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 2: You know.

826
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: It's like, I just there are so many smart people

827
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: out there that do this for a living. How can

828
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: I expect to like outdo them. So I'd rather just

829
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:32,879
Speaker 1: you know, put the money in the mutual fund, let

830
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: it sit there, and hopefully one day have some money

831
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: for retirement all right, let's get to another question from Diana.

832
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: Diana says, hey, Rich, we're senior citizens in Sacramento and

833
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: watch your segment often. I have a question for you.

834
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: We have a paid for McAfee on our computers for

835
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: almost two years. Every three to six months we have

836
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: a hacking issue, and they convince us to purchase more

837
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: coverage after telling us this is all we need. This

838
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: is what we've purchased. Prescription, prescription, what's that firewall? Hacker protection,

839
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: IP blocker, and now a hacker blocker?

840
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 2: Is this common? Would Norton be better? Sorry? I'm laughing.

841
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,280
Speaker 2: We are not that tech savvy and it just seems

842
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 2: to be too much.

843
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: It costs us anywhere from two hundred to one thousand

844
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 1: dollars every time we call them.

845
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 2: Do you have any advice for us? Uh?

846
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, My advice is get rid of this.

847
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 2: This is insane. How much are you spending on this stuff? Oh?

848
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 2: My gosh, two hundred to one thousand dollars? That is wild.

849
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 1: I don't even understand what you're purchasing. Do they even

850
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: give you the pricing on this stuff on their website?

851
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:53,280
Speaker 2: Wow? You know, I don't know. Wow, I'm like in shock.

852
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 2: Right now.

853
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: Why do you have so many problems with hacking? I mean,

854
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: I don't think you should. I think that either of

855
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: these are scams that you're falling for. Every three to

856
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: six months, we have a hacking issue. Wow, Okay, what

857
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,879
Speaker 1: I would do? I would scan your computers to make

858
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: sure that there's nothing going on there your network. Oh gosh,

859
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 1: this is just so I since you're not tech savvy,

860
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: I think it's tough to Did you say you're not

861
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: tech savvy. I mean, you just said you're senior. You

862
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: didn't say you're not tech savy. But ah, I think

863
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 1: that you're getting a little bit taken here because this

864
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: is a lot of money to spend, and I think

865
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 1: you just need to cut it off. Stop with the subscriptions,

866
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: stop with the purchases.

867
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 2: No more, no more, no more.

868
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 1: This is just a bit much. A hacker blocker and

869
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 1: IP blocker, a firewall hacker protection. Let me see what

870
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: is firewall hacker protection? McAfee. Let me even see if

871
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: they have that McAfee firewall. Okay, yeah, there's just too many,

872
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: too many things. Oh wow, there's just too many things

873
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: that are offered here. I mean I would say, get

874
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: the one product you know, like a total protection. This

875
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: says it's twenty nine to ninety nine total protection McAfee

876
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 1: for the year that includes total security, premium antivirus, safe browsing,

877
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 1: ID theft, and secure VPN.

878
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 2: That's what I would do.

879
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: I don't think you need to spend two hundred to

880
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars every time.

881
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 2: That just seems wild. That is just way too much.

882
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,280
Speaker 1: I think that you're paying this money to someone that's

883
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 1: scamming you. I don't think that this is McAfee that's

884
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: actually charging you for this stuff.

885
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 2: I think that it's someone else.

886
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that you you just you gotta figure,

887
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,760
Speaker 1: you gotta, you gotta dial this back. Just stop paying

888
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 1: for it, don't do it. Don't answer the phone when

889
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 1: someone says you have a hacking situation, or if there's

890
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: software or something pops up on your computer, unless it's

891
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: like a ransomware thing that should not be happening. I

892
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: would make sure your computer software is up to date.

893
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 1: I would make sure whatever software you're running on your computer,

894
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: just pick one and stick with it. If you have

895
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: Windows ten, I think you're fine with just the Windows

896
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: Defender that's built into your computer, and maybe just uninstall

897
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:19,320
Speaker 1: this McAfee stuff completely. But I don't think you're getting

898
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: hacked every three to six months. I just don't really

899
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: see that happening. So sorry to hear that, and uh,

900
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: hopefully you are doing okay there in Sacramento. Thanks for

901
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: watching this segment. By the way, this is the Roku

902
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 1: channel moving on now. Roku Channel is Roku's, you know,

903
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: free programming play that you can get on Roku. They

904
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: also have a Roku Channel app that's available for iOS

905
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: and Android. But I was not I was familiar with

906
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: Roku Channel. I mean, I get the concept, it's got

907
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,399
Speaker 1: free movies and TV shows, but they just came out

908
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: with thirteen new channels, live channels that this part of

909
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: it I was not aware of. They basically have a

910
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 1: cable TV service built into the Roku channel with I

911
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 1: mean it literally looks like cable TV when you dial

912
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 1: it up on your Roku and I dialed this up,

913
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: and they've got thirteen new channels, including Baby Shark, Bloomberg,

914
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 1: Western Movies, Hallmark Movies, which a lot of people will

915
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:22,399
Speaker 1: be interested in. Then they have eighties music, nineties music,

916
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: country music, hip hop music, Hottest Music, and.

917
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 2: Some other channels.

918
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: As well, and so I look this up on my

919
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: Roku and I'm very impressed. I mean it's a lot

920
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:38,280
Speaker 1: of it's literally cable TV for free on your Roku.

921
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: So you flip through and I've got it on right now.

922
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: It's just literally like everything. You've got NBC News, Weather Channel, Newsy,

923
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 1: USA Today, Yahoo, Reuters, Cheddar, and that's just like the

924
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: new stuff. Then you get into sports, then you get

925
00:45:56,239 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 1: into like entertainment, MTV, CMT. I wonder if Pluto is

926
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 1: powering this, because some of the channels are from Pluto.

927
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: Then you've got classic shows, then you've got you know,

928
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: retro shows, then you've got science, you've got movie channels.

929
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: I mean, this is very, very impressive, and it's all

930
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 1: impressive if you don't mind commercials in your programming. This

931
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 1: is all ads supported, so that's the way they pay

932
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 1: for all this stuff. But if you don't mind that

933
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: and you're just looking for free stuff to watch, this

934
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 1: is this is quite impressive. It's literally cable TV and

935
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 1: you don't have to pay a dime. It's just as

936
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: long as you've got an Internet connection, you've got it.

937
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:39,720
Speaker 1: They've got kids channels, stuff for kids to watch. They've

938
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 1: got Spanish language programming. They've got like DIY stuff like

939
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 1: Home and Family kind of or What's not Home and

940
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 1: Family Home HGTV. They've got Fashion GQ Channel, Crime channels, Celebrity,

941
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: Science Wired. They've got a channel just dedicated to Deal

942
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,760
Speaker 1: or No Deal. America's got Talent Family Feud. Those are channels,

943
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 1: so you can just watch Family Feud.

944
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 2: All day long.

945
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 1: This is really interesting. So America's Funniest Home Videos. You

946
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 1: could just have that streaming all day long. America's Funniest

947
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: Home Videos. They've got a Fireman Sam channel. If you

948
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 1: have kids, you know Fireman Sam. So I was very

949
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: impressed with this, And if you have a Roku, check

950
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,879
Speaker 1: it out because they've got thirteen channels that are new,

951
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: but they've got like one hundred and I think it's

952
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: like one hundred and fifty channels total, so it's like

953
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: kind of Pluto.

954
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 2: TV all these things.

955
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: The funny thing is is that they're running these things

956
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 1: as a as a cable TV grid, So there is

957
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: no reason in the world that they need to be

958
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: streaming this stuff as a program guide or presenting it

959
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 1: in that way. But we're so used to that it

960
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,720
Speaker 1: feels fun to flip through channels. People like to flip

961
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: through channels. So now I'm just pressing up and I'm

962
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 1: flipping through a channel and these are live streaming, but

963
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 1: they're just basically videos that are linked together, all in

964
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 1: a row, that are just playing one after another, and

965
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,839
Speaker 1: a lot of them are old TV shows. I mean,

966
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 1: it's very impressive. I've said that like seven times, but

967
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm it's literally like having cable TV for free. I mean,

968
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 1: they've got MTV, they've got so much stuff. I just

969
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,800
Speaker 1: got back to the first channel. But even the channel numbers,

970
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: like channel one forty five is USA Today, Channel one

971
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:25,280
Speaker 1: sixty is Reuters, Channel one seventy one, now this news.

972
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just wild that you can get all

973
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 1: this for free. And again it's just all ad supported,

974
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,919
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like having cable TV if you're

975
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:37,280
Speaker 1: into that. Now, personally, I'm not into just sitting back

976
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 1: and watching stuff that's streaming. I want to kind of

977
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: select unless it's news. I want to select what I'm

978
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 1: watching at any given time. But I also see the

979
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: beauty of this, like especially the kids channels. So they've

980
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: got you know, a bunch of kids channels here that

981
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 1: you know play kids programming all day long. And so

982
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 1: if you want your kids to sit and watch something

983
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: that's appropriate for their age, you can. They've got a

984
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 1: Lego channel, I've got Ryan's World. You know that Ryan

985
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 1: Kid on YouTube. He has his own channel, and so

986
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: and I also see the benefit of I come from

987
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:11,840
Speaker 1: the old days of TV where things just played, and honestly,

988
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: it is a little disturbing to me that when I

989
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 1: put on my Apple TV in the living room, nothing starts,

990
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: like nothing, nothing happens. You know, you have to sit

991
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 1: there and choose something. And so sometimes I will just

992
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 1: put on the news in the background because I want

993
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: something playing, or I'll put on YouTube in the background

994
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: because I just want something playing at all times.

995
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 2: And I think there's a lot of us out there.

996
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 1: It's just comforting to have that live stream of something

997
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: playing on your TV.

998
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 2: It's like, it's kind of an older way.

999
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 1: Of thinking about things, but it's kind of what I

1000
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: grew up with. You just had TV on all the

1001
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 1: time in the background. And I think that nowadays everything's

1002
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:48,359
Speaker 1: on demand and it's streaming, but it's still there's something

1003
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 1: to be said for just that that comfort of knowing

1004
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 1: that things are just on and that's exactly what this is.

1005
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 1: You've got a kids pop channel, I mean, just wild,

1006
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: pretty neat some of the channels. The quality is not

1007
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: that great on some of the lesser channels, but some

1008
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:06,280
Speaker 1: of the the program that you can tell that they've

1009
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:11,760
Speaker 1: put more into, it's a little bit higher quality. So anyway, Wow,

1010
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 1: this question perfectly segues into what I just talked about,

1011
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:19,399
Speaker 1: or segues from I should say. Olivia via Instagram at

1012
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 1: Richon Tech says, do you know about an app for

1013
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: Wi Fi slash Internet Free Radio for the iPhone? And

1014
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 1: the answer that question, Olivia is no, as far as

1015
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 1: I know, there is no support for an internal antenna

1016
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 1: or an external intent. Well maybe there's an external No,

1017
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 1: probably not, maybe external for Wi Fi and Internet free radio, So.

1018
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 2: I don't.

1019
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 1: I know that the Android phones have that very often,

1020
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 1: which you can listen to various radio stations through in

1021
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:59,879
Speaker 1: basically just an app on the Android devices. You don't

1022
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 1: need to have any sort of Internet connection. The last

1023
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:06,320
Speaker 1: phone I tested that had this was the TCL ten series,

1024
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 1: and it's such a little thing, but it's such a

1025
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: cool thing because not everyone has an unlimited data connection,

1026
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:19,239
Speaker 1: not everyone has access to full on data and not

1027
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 1: everyone wants to just use their data at all times.

1028
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: So if you can just call up this app, you

1029
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:25,919
Speaker 1: have to plug in headphones because that's how it gets

1030
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 1: the antenna, but it uses the wire in your headphones

1031
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: as it's antenna signal, and it literally just pulls the

1032
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:37,400
Speaker 1: signal out of the air, just like radio. And you

1033
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:39,800
Speaker 1: can listen to this on your phone and there's only

1034
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 1: It's always been a big debate because some cell phone

1035
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 1: carriers like okay, let's say a Samsung I think supported

1036
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 1: it back in the day, or just various carriers supported

1037
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 1: or various phones supported it, but you would get the

1038
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 1: phone and let's say on I don't know, just picking

1039
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,880
Speaker 1: a carrier like Sprint would have support for this, you know,

1040
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: radio stations on your phone through the over the air,

1041
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 1: but Verizon would not. And it was kind of a

1042
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 1: big differentiating factor. Back when phones were very much locked

1043
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 1: down and very much especially on Android, they were very

1044
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 1: much customized for the carriers. Now we're seeing a lot

1045
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,360
Speaker 1: less of that. We're seeing much more of like unlocked

1046
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 1: devices and devices that you know, carriers put a little

1047
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 1: touch on them, but they don't necessarily change the whole

1048
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: like we're not seeing like the droid bionics anymore. Remember

1049
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 1: when droids came out, they were a Verizon exclusive Android,

1050
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,399
Speaker 1: and we're now seeing like you know, Samsung especially, it's

1051
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 1: like the the Samsung S twenty one comes out on

1052
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,880
Speaker 1: every carrier, it's pretty much the same. There might be

1053
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: a couple of little tweaks here and there, but the

1054
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 1: software primarily is different. But for the most part it's

1055
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 1: the same. Maybe a different processor in different regions, but yet,

1056
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 1: I don't know of a way that you can get

1057
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 1: that on Apple ever, but I know that on Android,

1058
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 1: depending on your device, you could get that. But let's see,

1059
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,799
Speaker 1: did you specify what you have? Uh no, yeah, you

1060
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:00,080
Speaker 1: said iPhone, So yeah, we don't have that fry.

1061
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 2: But good question.

1062
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,879
Speaker 1: And it's one of those little things that's just kind

1063
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: of cool to have. You know, if you're ever in

1064
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: a place where you didn't have data or no data signal,

1065
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 1: you can still listen to radio, so kind of cool.

1066
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 1: All right, we got just a little bit more time here.

1067
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:15,880
Speaker 1: A couple little quick hits Instagram. You know how you

1068
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 1: see those TikTok videos all over Instagram in reels, Well

1069
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 1: that's going to start changing because Instagram is going to

1070
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 1: start demoting videos that have a watermark, that are covered

1071
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 1: with texts, that are blurry, that have a logo or

1072
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:32,759
Speaker 1: have a border around them, so they're not going to

1073
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 1: be shown as frequently as some of the original content

1074
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,279
Speaker 1: that is made inside reels. And this is you know,

1075
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 1: they didn't specifically say TikTok, but they said, you know, blurry,

1076
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: have a watermark or logo. And if you look at

1077
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:49,720
Speaker 1: all the TikTok videos, when you download a TikTok video,

1078
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,319
Speaker 1: it comes out with the TikTok watermark on it. And

1079
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 1: this was for growth, so that TikTok can grow and

1080
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 1: people know where this video came from. But what happens

1081
00:53:57,719 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 1: is that a lot of people that are big on

1082
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 1: TikTok or like the creation features because TikTok is really

1083
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:06,839
Speaker 1: like one of the most amazing editing apps out there

1084
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:09,720
Speaker 1: on mobile. I mean, it's really really amazing for short

1085
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 1: form content. They have so many cool features in there.

1086
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 1: So people use that to make the content and then

1087
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 1: they download it or they put on TikTok and then

1088
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 1: they download it and they'll also ship it off to Instagram.

1089
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,800
Speaker 1: But you can understand why Instagram doesn't like that because

1090
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, we're not good enough to make original stuff.

1091
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:28,399
Speaker 1: We want to be known for our original content. And

1092
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 1: so that's going to be happening. And just be on

1093
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 1: the lookout for less TikTok videos. If you start seeing

1094
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: less TikTok videos and Instagram, you know why on Google Photos.

1095
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 2: This is really cool.

1096
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:43,920
Speaker 1: Google Photos is now applying a lot of their magic

1097
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:48,319
Speaker 1: to videos. So if you have a video you need

1098
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 1: to edit in Google Photos, you can do it. You

1099
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: can trim your video, you can stabilize it. This is

1100
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:55,280
Speaker 1: things you've been able to do before. You can always

1101
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 1: trim it, you can always stabilize and always rotate it.

1102
00:54:57,120 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: But now you can crop your video, change the perspective,

1103
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 1: ad filters, and apply edits like brightness, contrast, saturation, and warmth.

1104
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:09,719
Speaker 1: There's thirty controls that you can do on the on

1105
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 1: the Google Photos app.

1106
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:11,719
Speaker 2: Now.

1107
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 1: The new video editing features are already available in Google

1108
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:17,879
Speaker 1: Photos on iOS. I checked, yes they are, and they're

1109
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 1: rolling out to Android users in the next few weeks.

1110
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 2: And let's see.

1111
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,359
Speaker 1: I checked on my Android and let's see if it's

1112
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 1: there yet. What's really cool is that these are pretty

1113
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 1: powerful filter features like editing features now I still think, Okay, yeah,

1114
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 1: it's not here on my Android just yet. But the

1115
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 1: cool thing is that you can export a frame. And

1116
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 1: this is a feature that I've actually needed because a

1117
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 1: lot of times when you need a thumbnail for your video,

1118
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 1: it's kind of a pain to like you get to

1119
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 1: grab a screenshot and then crop it. But with this feature,

1120
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 1: you can just press export frame and boom, You've got

1121
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 1: a nice, great, perfectly perfect exported frame of your video

1122
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 1: that you can use for social media if you want

1123
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 1: to like tweet about your video or something. The other

1124
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 1: thing they're doing is some of the features are just

1125
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:05,799
Speaker 1: exclusive for Google one members, but I'm not gonna get

1126
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:07,759
Speaker 1: into that because that's kind of a little thing. But

1127
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 1: I think that the video editor is really cool. I

1128
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:12,800
Speaker 1: think on Android this is something that's been poorly missing

1129
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:15,720
Speaker 1: on iOS. I don't think it's as necessary because iOS

1130
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: has such a good video editor built in. I'm not

1131
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 1: even sure why you'd ever use the Google photosapp one,

1132
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 1: but the photo editors on Android historically have not been

1133
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:28,760
Speaker 1: as good. So I'm really glad that Google is looking

1134
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: into making that a lot better.

1135
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 2: Uh oh oh, no, yep, there it is. That's the

1136
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:45,400
Speaker 2: music that signifies that's gonna do it for this episode

1137
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:45,839
Speaker 2: of the show.

1138
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 1: If you would like to submit a question for me

1139
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 1: to answer, you can do it in a few different ways.

Speaker 2: Let me think.

1156
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 1: No.

1157
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 2: If I hear a podcast, I just kind of listen

1158
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 2: to it.

1159
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:32,280

Speaker 1: the podcast I like, I'll just listen to it.
