1
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: What you need to know about the latest password breach,

2
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: online scammers target buying online and picking up in store.

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: I'll explain how the Netflix price hike it is coming,

4
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: and how to get free Apple Music if you're a

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: Verizon customer. What's going on? Imrich Demiro. This is Rich

6
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: on Tech coming to you today from Los Angeles, back

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: from Cees, back from the madness there, back from the

8
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: big Nike event in New York City. It feels good

9
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 1: to be talking to you once again on the podcast.

10
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: I know, throughout the holidays and also throughout the beginning

11
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: of the year, it's been a little hit or miss.

12
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,639
Speaker 1: But my schedule here is, uh, every week, once a week,

13
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna be doing this where I talk about the

14
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: latest stuff in technology, things I think you should know about.

15
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: And I will eventually blend in some live phone calls

16
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: here and there, but I'm not there just yet. But

17
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: I will bring that feature back because I know you

18
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: guys loved calling in, so I'll do that. But man,

19
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: I've been busy. Cees twenty nineteen. That's a rap that

20
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: happened in Las Vegas. First, I don't know, first week

21
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: of January or so, and man, I think I have

22
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: stories for like the rest of the year. So two

23
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 1: things that really went crazy during CS. This was just unbelievable.

24
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen anything like this, So

25
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: I did a video. You probably saw it if you're

26
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: one of the one hundred million people that saw this video.

27
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: I think it's up to like ninety two million, so

28
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: it'll probably hit one hundred. But it's of the laundry

29
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: folding machine. And this thing just went viral as soon

30
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: as I posted it. It was so clear that this

31
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: was destined for viral goodness. Because I saw it. I

32
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: thought it was so cool. And anytime I see something

33
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: that I think is really cool, really unique and I've

34
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: never seen it before, I always think, well, I guess

35
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: someone else hasn't seen it, because if I haven't seen it,

36
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: there's probably someone else out there who hasn't seen it.

37
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: So that's kind of what I decide is interesting in life,

38
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of stuff out there. But if

39
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: I've seen it, and I've seen it, perkle whatever. But

40
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: this is something that I think I remember it from

41
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: last year, but I didn't see the demo. When I

42
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: saw this thing folding close, it was just crazy. It

43
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: was like, Oh my gosh, that would be amazing, and

44
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: so I put that video on my I think I

45
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: put on Instagram first, and then I ended up sending

46
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: it over to Facebook, and man, that thing. I've been

47
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: getting requests from all over the world to repost that video.

48
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: And it's kind of funny when you have a viral video,

49
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: what happens is people just steal it. Half the people

50
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: just steal it and repost it. Half the people steal it,

51
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: repost it, put your name on it. Other half of

52
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: the people actually will email you and ask for permission,

53
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: but then they'll still just put it on their site.

54
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: So anyway, it's been great. I don't mind sharing it.

55
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen it, go to my Facebook page,

56
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: Facebook dot com, slash rich on tech. It's called the

57
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: Folding Mate and it folds your clothes for you and

58
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: it's one thousand dollars coming soon. The other thing that

59
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: is now going viral, and this took a little bit longer,

60
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: it was kind of a slower burn was the foldable phone.

61
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: So this is the Royal Flexpi and this was again

62
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: one of those things that I saw and I was

63
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: like wait when I saw this, it was really cool.

64
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: It looked like sort of an iPad screen that you

65
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: can just fold in half. And again when I saw this,

66
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my gosh, that's cool. So I've

67
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: got to share it with people, and again I posted

68
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: it to my Instagram and then and ended up sharing

69
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 1: it to my Facebook, where it is now going viral again.

70
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: That is that I think it's almost that it's over

71
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: a million views, but it just keeps kind of building

72
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: and building, and that one's really cool too. So anyway,

73
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: if you haven't seen those rich on tech on Facebook,

74
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: go check it out. But let's talk about the big

75
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: news of the week, the seven hundred and seventy three

76
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: million records in the collection number one data breach. So

77
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: this is again another hack of a lot of usernames

78
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: and a lot of passwords, and we see this happen

79
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: all the time. But the only thing you really need

80
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: to know about this is, yes, it's a lot of data.

81
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: Seven hundred and seventy three million unique email addresses, twenty

82
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: two million, twenty one million unique passwords, and eighty seven

83
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: gigs of data. So this is this a lot. It's

84
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: a big dump. And this was posted some hacker forums.

85
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: It might have been taken down at this point. But

86
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: once it's out there, it's out there. You can't really

87
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: take things down on the Internet. You might be wondering,

88
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: is my data part of this? Is my password part

89
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: of this? None of that matters, because we have gotten

90
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: to the point in our world where you need to

91
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: know one thing about your online security. Well, I'd say

92
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: two things. I guess Number one, do not use the

93
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: same password over and over. That is the number one

94
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: thing you can do to protect yourself. The reason for that,

95
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: all these passwords they've gotten, they are linked to an

96
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: email address. What do you think they do? They go

97
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: to Spotify, they see if it works there. And in fact,

98
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: in this blog post that I've got from Troy Hunt,

99
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: this is the guy who security researcher who really keeps

100
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: track of a lot of this stuff. He runs a

101
00:04:54,680 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: website called have I Been Pawned? Have I Been pw Ed?

102
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: So you can actually type in your email address to

103
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: this website and anytime your email address or shows up

104
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: on one of these lists, they will email you and

105
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: let you know. So I got an email that said, hey,

106
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: rich you showed up on this big data's collection and

107
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: you know, what do you do from there, you just

108
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: have to hope that everything's okay and that one of

109
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: the passwords you're using is a unique one that is

110
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: not used at any other site. So he said, one

111
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: of the tools he did they basically, or one of

112
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,799
Speaker 1: the tools online, is that they just pop these things

113
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: into Spotify, and you can log into Spotify with some

114
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: of these things, and it's just someone wrote a computer

115
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: program that just keeps popping these password combinations in and

116
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: sees if they work in Spotify. If they work there,

117
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: then they go onto a different app they can try

118
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: them there. So they're running systems that you and I

119
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: can't even fathom trying these passwords at a million different

120
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: places all at once and seeing if maybe one hits,

121
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 1: and if they do, they'll clear out the account, you

122
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: take the money, whatever, and just move on from there.

123
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: So again, the number one thing to do, use unique

124
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: passwords for every website that you create. I don't care

125
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: if it's the dumbest website ever or the most sophisticated

126
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: website like your bank account. Use a very specific password.

127
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: How do you create those? Use a program like last pass,

128
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: Use a program like one password that's the number one

129
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: and then password and a program called dash Lane. I

130
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: like all three of those. They all have their pros

131
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: and cons, but and if you really want the protection,

132
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: you do have to pay. So all of these programs,

133
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: I think most of them are free to use, but

134
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: if you really want to get the most out of them,

135
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: you're going to be ponying up anywhere from five to

136
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: a couple bucks a month, so couple dollars to five

137
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: dollars a month for the full access to these programs.

138
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: And by that I mean, for example, with dash Lane,

139
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: you can have dash Lane, you can use it, but

140
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,239
Speaker 1: if you want to sync your passwords across multiple devices,

141
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,799
Speaker 1: which most of us want to do, you will definitely

142
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: have to have the paid account for that. Let's take

143
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: a question now from Josie Floores to my Facebook page

144
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: Facebook dot com slash rich on tech. Hello, thank you

145
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: for all the info you give us. Can you please

146
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: give me some idea of what to use to start

147
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: a blog on YouTube? What camera, what microphone, et cetera.

148
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: Thanks Josie sent for my iPhone And when I see

149
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: sent from my iPhone, that always gives me a good

150
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: clue as to what type of device you're using, and

151
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: it also helps me craft my answer. So number one,

152
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: I would say, just for starters, use your iPhone. You've

153
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: got a great camera, you've got great tools, you've got

154
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: great editing available. So I think before you invest a

155
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: lot of money in anything, just use your phone and

156
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: your phone will be just fine. It'll take great video,

157
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: it'll be flexible, it works. So go with that and

158
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: start there. And the thing that I think you need

159
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: the most in addition to your phone is a microphone.

160
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: So if you want to make videos that people actually watch,

161
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: you want to make sure the audio is legible or

162
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: not legible, but audible. So that is the reason why

163
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: I recommend two different types of remotes. One is a

164
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: law microphone. This is a microphone that you see news

165
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: people wearing. It's the kind that they clip to their

166
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: lapel right, otherwise known as a lapel mic. So you

167
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: can search those in Amazon suit which you come up with.

168
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: I like the one from Irig, so this is called

169
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: the Irig mic LV and I use that one. It's great.

170
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: You put it on someone, you can talk to them,

171
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: you can plug it right into your phone, and it's

172
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: it's just great. It's a great simple solution and the

173
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: audio sounds way better. Now if you want to step

174
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: things up, that's maybe fifty dollars if you want to

175
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: step things up a little bit. There's a great microphone

176
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 1: from Taskcam called the DR ten L and this is

177
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: alav mic. But the secret about this mic is that

178
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: it does not connect your phone, so it actually records

179
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: into itself onto a micro SD card that is inside

180
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: the microphone. So what does that mean. That means you

181
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: can be super far away from whoever you're talking to

182
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: and still get fantastic audio because there's no cable connected

183
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: to your iPhone. And you may be saying, oh, Rich, well,

184
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: how do I connect it? How do I that audio

185
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: onto my video? You're gonna have to sync it up.

186
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: So Final Cut can sync it up. Other programs can

187
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 1: sync it up. But yes, there will be a little

188
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: portion where you have to sync up your video and

189
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: your audio to make that work. Now, the editing program

190
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: I recommend is Adobe Premiere Rush. This is a program

191
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: that I've been using. It's brand new. It is really

192
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: really cool. I love it because I can edit on

193
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: my smartphone and my computer. You can start a project

194
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: on your computer and finish it on your smartphone. You

195
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: can do the opposite. I don't know you could probably

196
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: sync up video on your desktop. It's not gonna be

197
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: as easy as final cut, but you can probably do it.

198
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: But it's not you know, you'd have to you know,

199
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: how you do that little thing where they do the clap.

200
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: You know, you'll probably have to do that in your

201
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: audio to get that right on the Rush. But you

202
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: can do it. But again, it's called Adobe Premiere Rush.

203
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: It's ten dollars a month. It is free to try,

204
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: so definitely try that one. Much easier to use on

205
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: your desktop, but you can use it. I've edited a

206
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: lot of those videos on my phone. So the other

207
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: thing I recommend is some sort of kind of holder

208
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: for your smartphone. So I like the one from Olo Clip.

209
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: It's called the Pivot and it's just it's just a

210
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: simple holder that you put your phone in and it's

211
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: a simpler way to grip your phone. And I use it.

212
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: I love it. I've had it for I think a

213
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: year now or maybe more, and it's really great. And again,

214
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: those are the three things Josie I'd recommend that you use.

215
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: You need a good microphone, good editing program, and a

216
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: good way to hold your phone. And again these are

217
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: not the end all solution to being a vlogger online.

218
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: But those are very simple ways to get started, get

219
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: into the business, and just the number one thing is

220
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: just create the content, right, you can evolve. One of

221
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: the most popular tech bloggers on YouTube MKBHD. If you

222
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: look at his original stuff, oh my gosh, the quality

223
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: is nothing compared to what he puts out now. But

224
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: the reality is he's been doing it consistently and that

225
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: you will find is the toughest thing to do when

226
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: you're creating content. Believe me, I create content for KTLA,

227
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: I create content for my podcast and also my Facebook page.

228
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: It is a lot, It takes a lot, It takes

229
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: a lot of time, takes a lot of energy, and

230
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: there's no way to shortcut it. So don't try to

231
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: shortcut it. But you can start with the tools that

232
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: are simple, and as you get better and as you

233
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: get the feel of things, believe me, you can evolve stuff.

234
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: I didn't have that microphone, the task can one I

235
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: was talking about until like last year, so I went

236
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: many years without that, and believe me, it was tough

237
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: and now things are a lot easier with that microphone.

238
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: Scammers always looking for a new way to scam us,

239
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: out of our money and our hard earned cash and

240
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: whatever else they can. Well, according to BuzzFeed News, the

241
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: latest thing they're doing is taking advantage of the online

242
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: store purchases where you can pick them up in store.

243
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: So you purchase online and then you pick up in store.

244
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: And here's how they're getting around this. So the company

245
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 1: ACI Worldwide says that there's been a thirteen percent uptick

246
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: in scammers hacking into online accounts and doing this. And

247
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: here's how they do it. They basically get your username

248
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: and password, they order something for pick up in store,

249
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: and then they go to the store and they can

250
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: put in their name whatever, It doesn't matter if they

251
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: need an idea at the store, they just show their

252
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: ID because they're the ones that place the order. So

253
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: why is this different than doing something like ordering a

254
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: product from Amazon and then getting it shipped to their house. Well,

255
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: they try to do that too, But here's the difference.

256
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've ever noticed, but anytime you

257
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: try to put in a different shipping address for something

258
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: that you order on Amazon, they ask you to reconfirm

259
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: your credit card. And apparently these online retailers are not

260
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: or I guess these brick and mortar retailers that let

261
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: you pick up in store are not necessarily doing that.

262
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to think I've done a couple of

263
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: these orders. I've done this with best Buy, I've done

264
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: this with Target, and I'm trying to think if I've

265
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: done this with anything else. But both times very simple.

266
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: I think Target asked for my ID. I think best

267
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: Buy might have just asked for the email confirmation. Maybe

268
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: they scanned a code on it. I can't really remember.

269
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: But the reality is they're doing this, and it's just

270
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: one more way they're scamming you out of your cash,

271
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: out of your stuff. They could probably only do it

272
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: once before you catch on. But the way they say

273
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: to kind of protect yourself from this is, again you

274
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: want to have those unique passwords for all your accounts,

275
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: so they can't get into your best Buy and then

276
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: get into your Target, and then get into your Macy's

277
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: and then get into whatever else you shop at. So

278
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: that's number one, two factor authentication, So if someone's logging

279
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: in with your stuff, you'll get a log in notice.

280
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: And the other thing you need to do, and I've

281
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: done this is enable phone alerts for any purchases that

282
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: happen on your credit or debit card, and yes, it

283
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: could be a little annoying, but you know what, I

284
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: don't mind because it actually helps you see how you're

285
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: spending your money. So you guys know, if you listen

286
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: to me, I'm a big Dave Ramsey fan. I don't

287
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: like to just automatically spend money without me knowing it, right.

288
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: So all those automatic bill payments, yes they love Netflix

289
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: and all these companies they love automatically billing you right

290
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: to your credit card, and yes I do that, but

291
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: when you see that charge every month, it's a nice

292
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: reminder that you are spending your hard earned cash on

293
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: these services. So yes, I get that. It's simple and

294
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: it's easy, and it doesn't hurt to have it. You know,

295
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: go through your credit card or your debit card and

296
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: it's just taken out of there so nicely and silently.

297
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: But when you see these little notifications coming through on

298
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: your phone saying that you just spent another thirteen ninety

299
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: nine on Netflix, it gives you a little bit of

300
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: pause and you think about it. Hmm, did I get

301
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: thirteen ninety nine worth of value out of my Netflix

302
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: last month? And I know I didn't but you know,

303
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: it just depends. My point is it's good to know

304
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: those things are happening, so turn them on. Turn on

305
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: the alerts in that way. If you see an alert

306
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: and I've gotten some weird ones, because especially like gas

307
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: stations and stuff, you'll get like an alert and you're like, wait,

308
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: what is that? Because not every company is listed on

309
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: the alert the way that it's said. Like, sometimes it's

310
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: like a random other name and it'll throw you for

311
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: a loop sometimes, believe me. Or in my case, my

312
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: wife and I you know, we share an account, and

313
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: so I'll see that she charged something and I'll be like, wait,

314
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: did you do this? And you know, yes, she'll tell

315
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: me nine times out of ten, yes she did. Oh.

316
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: Speaking of Netflix, this is pretty big news. Netflix is

317
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: raising prices for all of their fifty eight million US subscribers,

318
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: and they may be raising them in other countries, but

319
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about the US right now. But yeah,

320
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: price is going up for Netflix, and according to the

321
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: Associated Press, this is the biggest increase since the company

322
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: launched its video streaming service twelve years ago. So the

323
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: most popular plan will see the biggest price hike. Oh,

324
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: no surprise there. So if you're paying eleven dollars a

325
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: month right now, which I think all Netflix plans are

326
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: like ninety nine. I think it's like ten ninety nine.

327
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: So you will see your price go up to thirteen

328
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: dollars a month. So that's the option that's the most popular.

329
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: You get HD streaming on two different devices simultaneously. But

330
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: if you're on the plan that I'm on, which is

331
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: the premium plan, this is the four K plan, I

332
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: pay thirteen ninety nine a month, I believe, and it

333
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: is going to sixteen dollars a month, So another two

334
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: dollars price increase, And so I guess if you're doing that,

335
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: you're like, well rich, those are both two dollars, So

336
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: I guess two dollars is a bigger percentage of eleven

337
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: than fourteen. So I guess that's why they're saying the

338
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: eleven to thirteen is a bigger price hike than the

339
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: fourteen to sixteen, even though it's still two dollars. But

340
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: this is a tough one for me because I love Netflix.

341
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: But I'll be honest, I do not watch a lot

342
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: of Netflix, and I'm not a big fan of the

343
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: kids shows on Netflix. I don't think they're very good,

344
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: and I kind of like what Nick and Disney have

345
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: for my kids better. And my wife she does watch it.

346
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: So it has become a debate in the demureau household

347
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: over whether to keep Netflix, especially with this price increase. Now,

348
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: sixteen dollars a month is not gonna make or break me,

349
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: but still when you look at the value you're getting,

350
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: I'm paying forty dollars a month for my direct TV now,

351
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: which I get every channel imaginable, and I'm now gonna

352
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: be paying sixteen just for Netflix. So that is a

353
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: large amount. That's almost fifty percent of what I'm paying

354
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: for like seventy or eighty channels for just one channel

355
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: of Netflix. So I don't know, we'll see. I mean,

356
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: I'll probably end up keeping it, but it's it, I think,

357
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think this is gonna make

358
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people reconsider Netflix because it's only a

359
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: two dollars increase. But again, they're becoming like the cable

360
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: companies that we all were so excited to ditch. But

361
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: guess what, the same thing's happening, just in a smaller way.

362
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 1: Cable companies will probably raise rates by you know, five, ten,

363
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 1: dollars over a year, but this, I don't know, maybe

364
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: not that much, but this is two dollars, you know,

365
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: every couple of years, maybe every other year, but it's happening.

366
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: Netflix has consistently crept up, and as people get four

367
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: K TVs. I don't think there's a real need to

368
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: get a four K Netflix subscription because most people don't

369
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: really care so much about the screen quality or the

370
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: video quality. But for me, it was more I didn't

371
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: care about the four K part. I actually cared about

372
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: getting my downloads on more devices. So when I first

373
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: did the reason why I bumped up my subscription plan

374
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: was because we all wanted our iPads for a trip,

375
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: and I realized you couldn't download your shows onto more

376
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: than I think it was two iPads, so I had

377
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: to change my plan. Maybe it was three, whatever it was,

378
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: we had one too many and I had to switch

379
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: things up. And so that's what I did. I subscribed,

380
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: and and it's all good. I've had it now for

381
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: a while. But we'll see anyway. So Netflix is going up.

382
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,719
Speaker 1: Obviously they need to pay for all this original programming.

383
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 1: They have so much original programming that they're doing, and

384
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: the prices are going to be immediately increased for all

385
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: new subscribers. If you're an existing subscriber, it will roll

386
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: out to you over the next three months. I'm guessing

387
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: that has to do with your billing date, So I

388
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: don't know if everyone on Netflix is built on the

389
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,479
Speaker 1: same day, but maybe there's like a rolling billing date

390
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 1: where it's like maybe the first third of the month,

391
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: the second third, and the third third, and that determines

392
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 1: when you will see this price hike. But the reality

393
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 1: is a lot of people paying extra now for Netflix.

394
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: It's a very popular service in America and around the world,

395
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: so there may be some decisions to make, but I

396
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: think for most people they'll probably just absorb that cost

397
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: and if it gets any higher, I think that's we're

398
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: gonna where where we're gonna start seeing people think about

399
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: the price they're paying for Netflix and what they're getting

400
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: for Netflix in return, we'll talk about taking the good

401
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: and taking the bad. Just as you're paying more for Netflix,

402
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 1: you might be able to save some money on your

403
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 1: music subscription because if you're a Verizon customer, Apple Music

404
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: is now included in two of their popular unlimited plants,

405
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 1: the Beyond Unlimited and the above unlimited, So beyond unlimited

406
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: is fifty bucks a month. Above unlimited is sixty dollars

407
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: a month. That's if you have I think four lines.

408
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: If you have just one line or two line, it's

409
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: actually a little bit more expensive. So let me see

410
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: exactly how much that is. So I have two lines,

411
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: so I think I pay. I gotta see. It's so

412
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,239
Speaker 1: tough again. After I was just telling you that I

413
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: look at all my bills and stuff. Sometimes these things

414
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: evade me, and I you know, I know, I pay.

415
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: I think it's one eighty a month for two lines

416
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: at Verizon, which I think is a lot. By the way.

417
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 1: That's to me, that's very expensive. But yeah, if you

418
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 1: have two lines, oh yeah, okay, so it's eighty dollars

419
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: a month, or ninety dollars a month. If you have

420
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: one line, it's eighty five or ninety five. And that's

421
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 1: if you have auto pay. So realistically, one line for

422
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: Verizon to get this free Apple music is ninety dollars

423
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: a month if you do auto pay, which by the way,

424
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: has to be with a debit card, not a credit card.

425
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: Yeah you have to do Yeah, you have to do

426
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 1: debit card or you have to do your checking account.

427
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: That's not eighty five a month, so ninety dollars a

428
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: month for their standard plan that now includes Apple Music.

429
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: If you have the above unlimited, you will also include this.

430
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: If you have the Go Unlimited, which is their cheapest unlimited,

431
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: that's seventy five dollars a month after auto pay that

432
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: does not include this. So, by the way, just to

433
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: tell you how many gigabytes I've used on Verizon this month,

434
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: I am up to one hundred and ninety five gigabytes

435
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: used with six days left in my billing cycle. Now,

436
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: this was a busy month with CS and I was

437
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: in New York for the Nike event. But I will

438
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: say Verizon has been a champ. I switched to them

439
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: a while back, and I've gone over my data pretty

440
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: much every single month and I'm not getting throttled, which

441
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: hopefully Verizon's not listening and they mark my account to

442
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: throttle it. But I have not noticed any throttling. So

443
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: I am going over my twenty two gigs of you know,

444
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: data where they don't throttle you. If you're on the

445
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: higher plan, the above Unlimited, you get seventy five gigs

446
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: before they throttle you, so Verizon's been pretty good to

447
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 1: me in that respect, because, believe me, I am a

448
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: power user on my phone. I am a power user

449
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 1: in all sense of the word. But if you want

450
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 1: to add this to your account, just go to Verizonwireless

451
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: dot com slash Apple Music and it's very simple. You

452
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: just add it. It's one click, and then you confirm,

453
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: and then you basically get a link to Apple Music.

454
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: You down. You know it's already on your phone usually

455
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: if you have an iPhone, and all you have to

456
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: do is link up your account and they figure out

457
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: that you have this Verizon plan with your email address.

458
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: It's all linked on the back end. But if you're

459
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: already paying for Apple Music, you will have to cancel

460
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: your Apple Music through Apple, but they help you do

461
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: that as well. It's all part of the flow, and

462
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: then you just basically get free Apple Music and Apple

463
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: Music versus Spotify. I will tell you things about it.

464
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: Number One, I think Apple Music is very good. I

465
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: think that Spotify is obviously in the lead, but I

466
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: think that Apple Music is just as good. I think

467
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: in some cases it's better because it's a little bit

468
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: simpler and it's more integrated in the iPhone. So two

469
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: ways that Apple Music is better than Spotify is that

470
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,479
Speaker 1: Apple Music lets you offload stuff onto your watch, so

471
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: you can have playlists stored on your watch. You can

472
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: have music playing from your watch to a Bluetooth device

473
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: like headphones or a speaker without your phone being nearby.

474
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: So for me this comes in handy because I'll go

475
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: on a run with just Apple Watch and headphones, Bluetooth headphones.

476
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: So you can do that right now. You cannot do

477
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: that with Spotify, although I will say that it's probably

478
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: coming any day now. With Spotify. Pandora offers it now

479
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 1: offline music, and so I think that Spotify will offer

480
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: it literally any day that will be at it. So

481
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 1: if you're only switching because your Apple Watch doesn't add

482
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: doesn't work with Apple Music or Spotify, don't switch just yet.

483
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: The other thing is when it comes to voice commands.

484
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: So Spotify does not work with Siri, it's not integrated,

485
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: but yet Apple Music is. So if you want that

486
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 1: flexibility of being able to call out, hey, I want

487
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: to play this playlist or this song in your car,

488
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: or just by saying those magic words, Hey, clearly I

489
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: don't want to activate your phone. But if you just

490
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: want to do that. That's another reason to maybe switch.

491
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: Now the reason not to switch is think about all

492
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: the places that Spotify is integrated for you. So for me,

493
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: I've got it on my Google Home Hub, I've got

494
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 1: it on my Google Home speakers. You know, I don't

495
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: I don't really want to lose that functionality. But with sons,

496
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: I do have that as well. You can use Apple

497
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: Music with so nos so that's fine, but you just

498
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: have to think where you're using these things and how

499
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: to what affect you to switch to Apple Music. Apple Music,

500
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: like I said, is pretty good. I mean I think

501
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: it's really good actually. But the other place that this

502
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: kind of is, you know, going to make you have

503
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: a decision to make is if you have a family

504
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: plan with Spotify and you have two or more people

505
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: on there. So if you're at three people on a

506
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: family plan, I would say stick to that because you're

507
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: paying fifteen dollars a month for three people. With Verizon,

508
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: if you have two lines, yes you can get two

509
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: individual Apple Music accounts. If you have three lines, you

510
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: can get three different accounts, but again you have to

511
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: have one line per account. So I personally think that

512
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: the way Verizon should have structured it is. If you

513
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: have two lines of unlimited, they should have given you

514
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 1: Apple Music Family because then you can it's kind of

515
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: the same thing. Then you have two lines, so now

516
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: you have you know, because two lines is technically twenty

517
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 1: dollars a month worth of Apple Music, right but Apple

518
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 1: Music Family is only fifteen, So do the math. They

519
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: could be offering you unlimited for three people or four

520
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 1: I think it's up to six actually with a family

521
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: plan for the same price, but they're not doing it

522
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: that way. It is linked to each individual account and

523
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: you get a one line free account, one free Apple

524
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: Music individual account. So those are the decisions you have

525
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: to kind of consider. I'm just helping you along. But again,

526
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: if you want to do that, just go to Verizonwireless

527
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,199
Speaker 1: dot com slash Apple Music to get started. I did it.

528
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: It's pretty simple. If you're on the six months free plan,

529
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 1: it will automatically carry over and just turn into a

530
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 1: unlimited paid for you know, as far as Verizon takes

531
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: this with Apple, as long as they keep doing this

532
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: and don't discontinue it. Let's move on to an app

533
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: that might be the next big thing. It's called squad Reading,

534
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: an article and TechCrunch here. It's a screen sharing chat

535
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: app and for me personally, I love this because maybe

536
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: I'll just start doing screen shares where I can show

537
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: you how to do things online, like hey, how to

538
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: navigate through an app or whatever. But you can have

539
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 1: up to six people video chatting and screen sharing what

540
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: you're doing on your phone. Looks like it only works

541
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: with iOS right now, thanks to something called replay Kit,

542
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: which was built into iOS twelve. And I feel like

543
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 1: teens are gonna like this because think about all the

544
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: things you can do. You can swipe through tender, you

545
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: can kind of come up with status updates. I don't

546
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: know if you can watch a movie together. That might

547
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: be interesting, talk trash, whatever you want to do. But

548
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: you know, you can kind of surf the web with

549
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: one of your friends online. I can see this being

550
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: popular with teenagers and maybe even folks that live in

551
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: different places. But that's the new app. It's called Squad.

552
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: I have not downloaded it, but I just wanted to

553
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: make you aware of it because it's one of those

554
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: things that your kids might start using or you might

555
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: find a use for it. You never know if you're

556
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: doing the tech support in your family like I am

557
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: all the time, this might be a good way to

558
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: do it, and it's kind of funny. The only thing

559
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 1: you have to be careful about is if you are

560
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: on your app, there might be some private information on

561
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: there on you know that you would have on your

562
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: screen that you might not want to share in live time.

563
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: That's pretty much the only consideration I can think of.

564
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: But again, you're with your friends, so it's not like

565
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: a live stream per se. But again it's called squad.

566
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: If you want to check it out, go ahead and

567
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: download it and let me know what you think. Now,

568
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: I told you I was in New York for the

569
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: Nike Adapt BB, so it's funny. Sometimes these companies don't

570
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: necessarily tell you what they're going to announce. But Nike said, hey,

571
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: we're gonna bring you out here. We want you to

572
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: see what we got. It's gonna be tech focused. And

573
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: I went two years ago something similar and I thought

574
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: it was really cool. They did the self lacing sneakers

575
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: called the hyper adapt. Well, this is the new version

576
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: of them. It's called Nike Adapt BB. These are basketball

577
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: sneakers that have Nike's new self lacing mechanism in them.

578
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: And I will tell you I think they're really cool

579
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: for various reasons. Number one, I think it's pretty cool

580
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,479
Speaker 1: that that sneakers will lace up on their own. And

581
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: I love the lacing mechanism because it is basically the

582
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: tightest fit I've ever felt with a shoe around my foot.

583
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: And the reason for that is that the way the

584
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 1: laces cinch around your foot, they go not only in

585
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: the normal part where the tongue is, but also around

586
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: the back of your foot, So the sinching does the

587
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: tongue and the back, and I will tell you it's

588
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 1: a very very tight fit. You can adjust the fit.

589
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: There are buttons on the side of the shoe where

590
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: you can adjust the fit. But you can also use

591
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: your smartphone. So this is a smart phone connected shoe.

592
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: It's got all kinds of sensors inside, in fact, more

593
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: sensors than I think Nike is activating at launch. But

594
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,239
Speaker 1: I think in the future we're gonna hear a lot

595
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: of stuff where you can see how high you jump,

596
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: how hard you jump, how hard you're impacting your soles

597
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: or your feet, what the impact is on your your knees,

598
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: all kinds of data, how often you're on your feet,

599
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: I mean, think about it. This is even better than

600
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: an Apple Watch because it's sensing what you're doing all

601
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: day long on your feet. So they're gonna have some

602
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: really good data inside or from these shoes. And they're

603
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 1: expensive three hundred and fifty dollars for starters right now.

604
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. The price of the shoes that

605
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: came out in twenty sixteen were seven hundred and twenty

606
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: dollars or over seven hundred bucks. So the fact that

607
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: they got these prices down half in two years is

608
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: pretty good. It's a testament to just how fast technology

609
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: is evolving, how much better technology is getting. You know,

610
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: when they talked about these shoes, you know, of course

611
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: we saw them in Back to the Future thirty years

612
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: ago before they were actually possible. And Back to the

613
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: Future they just had Hollywood hack it together, right with

614
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: strings and ropes and all this stuff that they pulled

615
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: from underneath the shoes, apparently according to a Verge video

616
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: I watched, but nowadays it's real. So it took them

617
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: all the i mean you're talking thirty years to actually

618
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: come up with the technology to make this happen. So

619
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: I thought these were pretty cool. I'm not going to

620
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: buy them for three hundred and fifty dollars just yet.

621
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: But I love the idea, I love the implications. I

622
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: saw a lot of people discussing on my Facebook page

623
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: about how, oh, how lazy are we getting, How lazy

624
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: are we that we can't lace our shoes. Well, it's

625
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: not about laziness, number one, it's about performance. For actual athletes, right,

626
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: they want performance on the court. They want that tight fit.

627
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: They don't have to worry about their shoelaces coming loose.

628
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: And if they're on the side of the court, you know,

629
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,479
Speaker 1: taking a time out or whatever, they can easily loosen

630
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: their shoes with one of the presets on their phone

631
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: or I don't know, they're probably not gonna be using

632
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: the phone court side. Maybe they are, but you know,

633
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: they can use you know, the presets to kind of

634
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: go through tight loose middle for maybe just walking around.

635
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: But there's many more implications of this. Think about it.

636
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: For kids instead of velcro, you can have these shoes

637
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: that lace for you know, for people that have problems

638
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: with their feet. Maybe you have a special condition where

639
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: you need, you know, a shoe that's a little bit

640
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: looser when your foot swells up. Or maybe you just

641
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: had you know, who knows. There's a million different things

642
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: out there that people can have that this can be

643
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: adapted for. And at the end of the day, I

644
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: love seeing technology evolve. I love seeing Nike continue to

645
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: push this forward. And I do think that in the

646
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: future there will be a version of sneakers that are

647
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: self lacing. Not everyone has to get them. If you

648
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: don't want them, don't buy them. But if you need them,

649
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: or if you want them, or you can afford them,

650
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: go ahead, And the technology is gonna get cheap. Believe me,

651
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: in the future, a lot of these shoes will have

652
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: this technology that are just standard pairs of sneakers. And

653
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: by the way, I spent over one hundred dollars on

654
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: my last pair of Nikes. I think with tax it

655
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: was like one hundred and thirty dollars. That's not too

656
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: far off from three point fifty that's another two hundred dollars.

657
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: So Nike will get the price down on these sneakers.

658
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: Will not be overnight, but they will get the price

659
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: down and they will make them better. And the analytics

660
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: and data that we're gonna get from these sneakers is

661
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: going to be pretty awesome, especially if you're an athlete.

662
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: If you're an everyday person, it might just help you

663
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: lose weight or something, but or stay in shape. But

664
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: for athletes, this was probably some pretty good information because

665
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: they built a lot of sensors into these shoes. Now

666
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: you do have to charge them, by the way, so

667
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: they're saying you a charge overnight charge will last probably

668
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: two weeks. But yes, one more thing to charge it

669
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: is wireless charging, so you have to put them on

670
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: this little wireless charger. But it's it's pretty slick. I

671
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: think this compared to the first round of shoes that

672
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: they showed me, this is way better. They definitely did

673
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: a very nice job, all right, Apple, Just a quick,

674
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: little quick hit on Apple. They release some smart battery

675
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: cases for the iPhone ten S, the iPhone ten S Max,

676
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: and the iPhone ten Are. So if you've been wanting

677
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 1: one of those mophy style battery cases for the iPhone,

678
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: they call them the uh I think it's called the

679
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: Smart Battery. They are available. They're one hundred and thirty dollars.

680
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: I'm actually considering getting one of these. I love my

681
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: spec Presidio Grip case, but I do love the idea

682
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: of having more battery life on my phone, because right

683
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: now I'm at the point where at the end of

684
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: the day, especially a busy day, I'm recharging. But especially

685
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: if I'm on the go, If if I'm just like

686
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: in my car for a good half an hour driving

687
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: somewhere between a meeting or something, I can definitely go

688
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: the whole day with my phone with just that one

689
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: little recharge. Maybe you know, half an hour there and

690
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: then maybe a half an hour home will be enough

691
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: for my phone to recharge. But if you're at a conference,

692
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: or you're out on the road all day, or you're

693
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: out and about, you know, this is a really good

694
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: thing because it adds a lot of extra battery to

695
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: your phone. Now, the difference between these cases and previous

696
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: cases is that these support Chi charging, which means you

697
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: pop it into your phone, and maybe they did this

698
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: with the last ones, but you pop it into your

699
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: phone and it's actually wirelessly charging your phone with the

700
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: wireless charging, so you're not actually plugging in the bottom

701
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: of the case into the it's not plugging into the

702
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: bottom of the case, right, So what that means is

703
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: your lightning port is also left open, so if you

704
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: want to plug in headphones you can use them. So

705
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty dollars adds technically thirty three hours

706
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: additional of talk twenty one hours of Internet, So you're

707
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: getting anywhere from thirty three to thirty nine extra hours

708
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: of talk, twenty five to twenty seven hours extra of video,

709
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: and twenty one hours to twenty two hours extra of Internet. Now,

710
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: I don't know anyone in the world that uses their

711
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: phone and says, oh, I got twenty one hours of

712
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: Internet off of my phone today. No, the way I

713
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: see is just kind of how many hours your screen

714
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: is on or just you just know, did you get

715
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: a good use out of your phone today or not?

716
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: So this will definitely increase your battery usage on your phone,

717
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: make it a lot better. Just so you know, Mophi

718
00:33:55,680 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: is coming out with a similar battery pack, and theirs

719
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: is called the Juice Pack Access. So it's not available

720
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,479
Speaker 1: just yet, but I did get a preview of this

721
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: at CS and it will be available very soon first quarter.

722
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: It's ten dollars less, so it's one hundred and twenty

723
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 1: dollars versus one thirty. So I'm just saying, if you're

724
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: considering one of these battery packs. The Mofi works in

725
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: almost identical fashion. So it is, again a wireless charging pack.

726
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: You put it on the back of your phone. It

727
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: you know, it clips on just the same way it

728
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: would you clip it on. It will wirelessly charge your phone,

729
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: and you know, it adds a very similar amount of

730
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: battery time. They're saying, there's this twenty five hours of

731
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 1: talk time versus thirty three for the one from Apple.

732
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: But I think you're gonna be happy with either one

733
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: of these, so you know, just something to consider. And

734
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 1: again it's called the Mofi Juice Pack access and again

735
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: it leaves your lightning port on the bottom of your

736
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: phone available when you have this thing charging. So all right,

737
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: let's just end I'm mis Google paying forty million dollars

738
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: for a portion of Fossil's secret smart watch technology. This

739
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: is according to an article in wearable dot com. So

740
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: Google bought a part of Fossil. They did not buy Fossil.

741
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: They just bought some sort of intellectual property related to

742
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: smartwatch technology under development. And they say that this is

743
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: going to launch in a new innovation that has not

744
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 1: yet hit the market. What does that mean? Who knows?

745
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: But the reality is let's hope for a Google Android

746
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: sort of smartwatch, or I guess I should say a

747
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: smart watch for Android users that rivals what the Apple

748
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: Watch offers. Right now, when you're on the Android side,

749
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: your selection for smart watches, there's a lot of them,

750
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: but none of them have been a breakout star. So

751
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: the Fitbit is great, but it doesn't have the integration

752
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: with all of your apps. The Galaxy Watch is great,

753
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: but again it doesn't have the amount of apps that

754
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: I'd like to see on there. And all the other

755
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: Android wears are just to me, not very good. So

756
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,720
Speaker 1: we need something like the Apple Watch on the Android side.

757
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: Hopefully Google paying forty million dollars for this secret tech

758
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: will bring that sort of product. And with that, that's

759
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: going to bring me to the end of the show.

760
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: Just want to say thanks for listening to the show,

761
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,959
Speaker 1: and thanks to anyone who is newly listening. I will

762
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: tell you with the one hundred million views on the

763
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: Folding Mate, I picked up a lot of new followers.

764
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 1: So I have a bunch of new followers on Instagram,

765
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 1: a bunch of new followers on Facebook. So welcome to

766
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,160
