Is he there? Park Hey? 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:16.280 Hey there you are everybody. 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:17.840 How are you doing today? 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:19.880 I'm doing well. How about you. 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:23.240 I am doing fantastic. Well, you tell me. You know 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:25.319 how I'm doing. You live with me, So am I. 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:26.040 Always doing good? 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:28.280 It's a nice weekend. Yeah, I have to say it's 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.319 really nice. I think the sun's starting to pop out. 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:33.320 It's been a cold week. 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:38.320 Yes, and you're here to talk about Final Cut pro 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:39.280 on the iPad? 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:40.560 Yes, I actually am. 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:42.600 You've been playing with that? Huh, yeah I have. 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:46.279 I've been playing with it for a couple of days 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.680 because I always wanted to. You know, I'm into editing 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:54.000 for my dad and h Parker. 0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:56.520 You'll take the stuff that I shoot and then you'll 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.360 edit and we do like a little edit competition where 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.440 you'll see, you know, if you can edit better than 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.160 I can. But we've been very impressed with this, so 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:06.320 we will talk about that in a little bit. Parker's 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:07.600 going to be hanging out for the whole show, so 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:11.080 I may bring them on from now and then. So 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.400 my goal if you listen to this show is to 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:16.840 make it the most useful thing that you listen to. 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:18.240 That is always my goal. 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:22.040 So when I talk about stuff, when I choose the topics, 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:25.840 when I discuss things, it is all for you. And 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:27.840 so yeah, I'm not going to get to everything that 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:29.400 happens in the tech world. 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:31.160 In fact, I say it in the beginning of. 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:32.720 The show, I say, this is the show where I 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:34.919 talk about the tech stuff I think you should know about. 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.359 It's the stuff that I believe is important for your 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:43.400 life because we are modern tech animals. We are people 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:48.000 that are using technology, sometimes against our will. We all 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:50.919 have a phone, we all have a computer, a tablet, 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:53.400 or you know, a combination of some of those things, 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.320 and sometimes we just have to use them to survive 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.720 in this world. And so I figured today would be 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.120 a good day to share some of the apps that 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.240 I use on my phones that I love. And I 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:06.840 say phones because I typically carry an iPhone with me 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:10.760 and then I'm typically testing an Android. And it used 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:12.640 to be the other way around. I used to carry 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:14.799 an Android and then test on the iPhone. But I've 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:16.800 sort of flipped, and I flip flop every once in 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:18.600 a while. But when I wrote a book about the 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:21.840 iPhone that really kind of solidified. I started using it 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.040 every day and just kind of started, you know, getting 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.160 used to it. So let me go ahead and give 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:27.560 you some of the apps that I really like. So 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:29.240 number one, you have to write all these down. I'm 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.840 gonna put them down on the notes on the website. 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.360 So Number one, email me. This is probably what I 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.040 use the most on a daily basis. This is a 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.520 very handy little app that lives on my iPhone home 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:45.320 screen and it allows me to email myself anything I need. Now, 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.120 I've tried all the to do lists and all that 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:49.320 stuff and the notes, and I do use those apps. 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:51.760 But to me, email me is so easy because my 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:55.480 email inbox is sort of my ongoing to do list, 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:59.200 and so I can just email myself a note, an article, 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:02.320 someone's phone number, whatever, and then it's in my inbox 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:03.920 and then when I sit down to my computer, I 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.640 can deal with it. Now on Android, there is not 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.880 the same app, but the most similar app I've found 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:13.240 is called Boomerang, and that one works in kind of. 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:16.000 Like the same way. So those are my two handiest apps. 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.479 After that, I have an app called Pocket, and this 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:22.000 is an app that allows me to read something later. 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:23.800 So I surf the web all day and I find 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:26.440 an article that I like, and I will save it 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:29.520 in Pocket to read it later. Ninety nine point nine 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.200 percent of the time, as soon as an article goes 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.520 into pocket. It is guaranteed I will never read it 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:36.080 ever again in my lifetime. I don't know why that happens, 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.000 it's just the way it is. So I need to 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.600 get better about actually reading the articles. Most of the time, 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.120 when I'm on the plane and I'm bored, I will say, oh, 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.479 let me, let me try this, and I'll read something 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:49.559 in my pocket. Google Photos is my preferred photo app. 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:53.160 I love Google Photos because I've been taking photos everywhere 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.400 I've gone for ten fifteen years. Now they're all in 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.239 Google Photos. I wish I had more from the early days. 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:01.520 I've digitized a bunch. But what I love about Google 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.120 Photos is the ability to find any photo I've ever 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:07.839 taken anywhere with just a keyworder two. It is incredible 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:11.719 and my collection continues to grow in there. Microsoft to Do, 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.640 I've tried all the to do lists. Microsoft to Do 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:18.039 is my absolute favorite. The reason it just works. It 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.400 works cross platform. It works on all my computers and devices, 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:24.760 and you can add files to your to do list, 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:26.800 which is really handy. If it's like a document or 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.000 something that you need to like email someone or whatever, 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:30.880 you can just throw it into the to do list, 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:34.520 into the actual item and it works. One of the 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:36.640 newer apps that I've been testing that I really like 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:40.600 is called my Mind. And what's cool about this is 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:43.520 it's sort of like a bookmarking app, but it's a 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:47.359 place to remember all of your notes, images, quotes, highlights, whatever. 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:49.960 And it's a really neat app because what it does 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.839 is it automatically tags the things that you put in there, 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.599 So if you put an article in there or a quote, 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:59.040 it will actually look at that item and come up 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.080 with a whole bunch of tag so that later on 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:02.799 you can say, oh, I remember that book I wanted 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.640 to read, and it will. You can just search book 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:07.919 and it will find all the books that you've bookmarked, 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:09.720 or all the movies, or if you want to say 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:11.719 it was a movie about baseball, it will find anything 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:15.040 about baseball, So that's really handy. When it comes to hiking. 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.320 All Trails is one of my favorites. This is really 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:20.720 cool because it finds trails everywhere around the world and 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:24.200 it gives you information about them. Artifact is a new 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.120 one that I really like. This is from the creators 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.640 of Instagram, or at least one of them, and it's 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:30.800 just a new spin on a news app, and it's 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:34.479 got some really really handy features and it learns as 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:36.680 you read articles on it what you like and tries 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:38.880 to present more of those. Now I think it's a 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:40.719 little heavy handed in that because I feel like I 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:42.560 see a lot of the same stuff over and over. 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.080 But again, it's learning and it's evolving. 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:46.400 When it comes to. 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:49.479 Travel, a ward wallet is my absolute favorite app for 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:52.679 keeping track of everything that I'm doing. All of my reservations, 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.440 it organizes them and it puts it into this really 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:59.320 neat timeline called my Trips, and it's just fantastic. Anything 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:01.960 I've done, any hotel I'm staying at, any tickets I 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:03.960 have for anything, it's all in this main list. 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:05.440 I can find it so easily. 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.400 Backdrops This is one of my favorites because it helps 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:12.080 me find wallpapers for all of my devices and they're 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:13.440 just really cool slick. 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:15.600 I think there's a paid version of this app. 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:17.600 I don't think I've ever paid for it, but it's 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.960 really handy and it's just great, great backgrounds for all 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:24.560 of my devices, and it's called back Drops and it 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:27.920 works on iOS and Android. When it comes to editing, 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:32.120 Splice is my absolute favorite editing app. It works on iPhone, 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:34.680 it works on Android. So far, I've paid for it 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:36.800 on iPhone, but somehow I can't figure out how to 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.760 get my paid subscription on Androids, So that's definitely a downside. 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.480 But I really like that app for editing. I don't 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:45.840 think it gets much better on your phone than Splice. 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:49.640 What three Words This is a really interesting app. I 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:53.600 love what they've done. They have sliced up the entire 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:58.000 world into these ten by ten squares. So if you 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.600 want to give someone your exact location. Let's say you 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:02.800 want them to meet you at the back door entrance 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.480 to a restaurant or something that's just an example, or 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.520 a specific entrance to a park, you can narrow it 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.520 down and give them directions to that exact area. Unlike 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:13.800 Google Maps that'll just kind of bring you to the park, 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:17.000 this will give you that ten by ten square that 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:19.200 is precise. So if you want someone to meet you 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:22.520 in a precise place, What three Words is such a 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:25.920 great app for that. When it comes to journaling, I 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:29.800 really like Day one. It's a fantastic app for keeping notes. 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:33.200 Fig is a really good app. Fig If you have 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:35.680 someone with an allergy in your family, this lets you 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:37.960 scan a barcode and it will tell you if that 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:41.520 allergen is in that barcode. It's a really really handy app. 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.640 Flighty is, of course an app we've talked about on 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:47.040 this show, which is an app that will help you 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:51.080 track all of your flights. Flip is an app flipp 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:55.160 This categorizes all of the flyers that these companies put out, 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:57.240 like Target and Best Buy. And if you want to 0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:59.679 search for an item on sale. Let's say you love 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:01.679 your face toothpaste, but you want to find it on 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:04.040 sale somewhere, search it and flip and you can see 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:07.720 exactly where it's on sale. Gemini is my favorite app 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:10.160 for finding duplicate photos on my camera roll. 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:11.559 This one is iOS only. 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.719 It also may be paid for like eventually, but it's 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:18.520 a really handy app for finding duplicates. I Exit is 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.640 also one of my favorites for road trips. For when 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.840 you're looking for a specific fast food up ahead. You 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:28.040 can see everything by exit up ahead. Plus they have 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.800 gas prices and all that stuff. But I Exit is 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:33.520 really good.

Let's go 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:53.800 to uh Elam Elam in La Ellam. You're on with Rich. 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.000 Hi Rich, this is Elam. 0:10:57.880 --> 0:10:58.200 Yeah. 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:03.640 I have a quick question. My stepmother is selling her 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:07.840 house and selling the content of the house, and with it, 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:13.480 she sold her computer. She just called me and said, oh, 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:17.000 someone's trying to change the phone number on my hers 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:21.440 her Apple account. So I'm like, oh, shoot, so I'm 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.840 going to go over there in about two hours to 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:29.240 go deny that request because obviously someone's trying to maybe 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:31.000 change her user name. 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:32.120 Access her account. 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.680 It's that I don't even know. She's logged out of 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:39.440 her Okay on their computer. 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:42.720 Okay, So okay, So this is a good lesson for 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.600 any time you sell something, obviously you want to sign 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:50.520 out on that device. On Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac, it 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:52.960 makes it very easy. You can go into the settings 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:56.400 and basically do a factory reset and get everything back 0:11:56.440 --> 0:12:00.880 to the standard operating you know, the factory conditions now 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.120 on the iPhone, on your on your does your mom 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:06.440 have an iPhone? No she doesn't, So what does she 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:07.199 use for her phone? 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:16.360 I think it was the other one Android, Yes. 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.040 Okay, So I think what you're going to have to 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:25.600 do is go into the settings on iCloud dot com. 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:27.000 Does she have any other Apple device? 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:30.400 I know she has a tab that she uses. 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:31.520 I don't know what. 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:35.080 I don't know that she has an Apple account. 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.280 I don't know what it is that's telling her that. 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:40.800 So I'm gonna go there later and look at that. 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:45.000 Okay, Well, I would go into her Apple her iPhone 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:49.040 and go into the iCloud settings and then and then 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:54.839 you can basically go into the device's tab on the 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:58.480 Apple ID and then see the device that you want 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:00.960 to sign out of and say sign up out, And 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.960 that way that computer would no longer be on the 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:06.079 you know, it won't be on the account anymore. 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:12.120 So concerned about their bank account, I'm hoping that account 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:13.880 was not left open on the No. 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:16.880 Those those usually time out after a minute or two 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:18.760 or a couple of minutes, So you're gonna be fine there. 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:21.480 So I think that, I mean, this could be a 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:24.560 targeted thing where someone is literally trying to access your 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.000 mom's stuff, or it could just be an innocent thing 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:29.400 where they're just trying to reset up this computer and 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:31.600 they came across this thing and they typed in the 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:33.520 password and they were just trying to figure it out. 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:35.800 I don't know why you do that if it was innocent. 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:39.760 But but again, go to you know, go to the 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:44.120 Apple you know, iCloud website, sign in, look for the 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:46.720 devices tab, and then find the device that your mom 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:49.959 was on and click sign out on there. So I 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:52.160 would do this right now live. But the problem is 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.200 it's like a whole two factor authentication thing to sign 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:57.040 into my computer, so it's not going to let me 0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:59.440 do it easily. But that's what i'd recommend and in 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:02.520 the future, or no matter what, before you sell something, 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:04.800 this is just a really good reminder that you have 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:07.400 to just sign out of everything on there. So no 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:12.000 matter what sign out of Google, you know, but on 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.440 the big picture, you want to sign out on the 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:15.280 whole computer. 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:17.760 So there's ways of you know, what I would do 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:18.600 is look at the item. 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.840 So whether it's a chromebook, whether it's a Mac computer, 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:26.480 whether it's a tablet, just look at factory reset and 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:28.320 then that just Google that and it should give you 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.200 the step by step instructions on how to do that 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:32.240 everything's a little bit different. But I do this all 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.520 the time because I'm always testing gadgets and then sending 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:36.560 them back to the company, and I always have to 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.800 do a factory reset. But there's other ways of especially 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:42.400 with Google and Apple, of signing out of the devices, 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:46.240 even if you're basically revoking access to that device from 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.760 the web, saying like I don't have this anymore, but 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:50.400 don't let this thing log in anymore. 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:54.280 Right, okay, all right, sounds good. Thank you so much. 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:56.960 All right, elim, thank you for calling today, and hopefully 0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:59.200 it gets all sorted out. And if not, just you know, 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.240 give me an email and and we'll figure out another 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:02.160 solution here. 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.080 Sounds good. You have a great day, all right. 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:05.680 Have a great day. 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:09.400 Yeah, really, you know one of these things where it's 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.320 a good idea in general, and I always do this. 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:13.720 There's also something. 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:17.000 Called third party access to your account. So if you 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:20.000 look at if you Google like third party access, Google 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.480 you can manage the third party apps and services that 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:26.240 have access to your account. And what that means is 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.800 that sometimes when you sign in, it's easier to sign 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:32.560 in with your Google account or your Facebook account, or 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:36.080 your Twitter or your Apple account. And sometimes you want 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.560 to revoke access. So if you look at what's called 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:42.360 these sometimes are referred to as permissions or third party 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:45.360 account access, it's a good idea to go through your 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:48.720 accounts and see what's on there. And I did this 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:50.520 with Google the other day, where I kind of went 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:52.560 through and saw the old phones and things that were 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:54.400 on my account, and I just said, revoke access to 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:57.560 those things, because you don't want a lot of stuff 0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:01.840 having access to your accounts. All right, Coming up, we're 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.560 going to talk to Daniel Robino. This week was a 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:08.120 Microsoft bill. This is their Developer's conference. They had a 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:11.560 whole bunch of new announcements when it comes to AI, 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:14.920 which of course everyone is talking about nowadays, when it 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:16.760 comes to BING, when it comes to this thing called 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:20.360 co pilot for businesses. So we're going to talk to 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:23.600 Daniel Robino. He is the editor in chief of Windows Central. 0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:26.360 He's going to talk about all of that stuff. Later on, 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.520 we're going to talk to Jim Steyer. He's the founder 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:32.880 and CEO of Common Sense Media. He's going to join 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:35.960 me to discuss the Surgeon General's warning about the impact 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:39.400 on social media and teens, which I know is a 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:42.360 Big One and then later John Faulkner. He is the 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:45.080 road test editor at clean Fleet Report. He's going to 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:48.360 join me to talk about the vin Fast EV and 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:50.120 we'll get his take on the Ford Tesla deal. 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:51.480 Also, your call is. 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:53.960 Triple eight rich one on one eight eight eight seven 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:56.880 four to two four to one zero one. I'm Rich Demiro. 0:16:57.040 --> 0:17:11.240 You are listening to Rich on Tech. Joining me now 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:12.520 is Daniel Rubino. 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:13.280 He is the. 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:16.560 Editor in chief of Windows Central. All right, so let's 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:19.760 talk about Built. What is Microsoft Built? What is that 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:21.040 so much shop? 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:24.880 Build is their annual developer conference, and it's been going 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:25.640 out for many years. 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:27.280 It's sort of changed focus. 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:29.679 For many years, there was a lot of consumer stuff 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:32.399 there as well, so it was almost like an Apple show, 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:34.240 and then in the last couple of years it pretty 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:36.760 much went all developer, and they did even they stop 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:39.560 in biding press to even attend because it was such 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.960 like more high level programming. But this year it's actually 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:46.040 returned and they brought Windows eleven back to the show, 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:47.800 and there was a lot more i would say consumer 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:50.160 focused announcements for the first time in a long time. 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:52.560 So let's kind of go through some of those. 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:55.199 So obviously Microsoft was first out of the gate with 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:59.119 this whole bang integration with chat GPT right, and I 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:00.920 used it. I was one of the people who got 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:04.240 the early access. I downloaded Edge, I was using it, 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:06.800 and I really liked it. Now, of course I have 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:10.400 some other options. But what's the What were the announcements 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:12.760 with the chat GPT on on the BING front. 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:14.520 Yeah, this is. 0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:17.320 Actually really really good news at least for Microsoft and 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:21.160 open Ai. So their relationship has just basically got closer. 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:26.159 What I mean is chat GPT was trained on Microsoft 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:30.200 some of Microsoft's supercomputers, but it had a limited access 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:32.080 basically the access cut off I believe it was late 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:36.600 twenty twenty one meeting. It didn't have information beyond that date, 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:38.919 and so you could ask it to do things, but 0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:42.520 he'd be asked about, say last night's baseball game, it 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:43.639 could not get that information. 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:45.000 I had no idea what you're talking about. 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:48.800 BING, on the other hand, took that and merged it 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:50.960 with a search engine, so you could ask being chat 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:53.439 something it happened five minutes ago and be able to 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:56.480 find the information. What's happening now is open ai is 0:18:56.520 --> 0:19:01.080 basically getting that feature from being a plug in, so 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:03.960 it's going to have now access to the Internet, meaning 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:06.520 they're gonna be very similar in how they operate. 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:09.360 I'd also say the other thing was plugins now. 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:13.560 Open Ai announced plugins for chat Shipt about six weeks ago, 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:16.720 and then Microsoft announced plug in support for being chat 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:18.040 a few weeks ago as well. 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:18.480 Well. 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:21.720 Turned out those plugins are interoperable, which is gonna be 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:25.320 really good for developers, because we were concerned that people 0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:27.280 are gonna have developers We're gonna have to choose, all right, 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:29.359 I got to make a plug in. Do I choose 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:32.000 open Ai and chat Gipt, which technically probably has more 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:32.880 users right now? 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:34.320 Or do I do Bing? 0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:37.320 You know chat You're saying chat Gpt has more users 0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:37.720 than Bing. 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:41.960 It might, I mean, because of the because of the 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:45.520 headlines that chat Schipt has. But we don't really know 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:48.199 the user numbers for all of them, right But I 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:51.880 think being chat Schipt had a million users like within 0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:52.400 a couple. 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:55.080 Of weeks, super much. I mean they really. 0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:58.520 And then Microsoft yeah, and Mitchoff hit a million two recently, 0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:01.240 so they're probably pretty close. But what's cool is these 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:04.800 plugins developers write once they go anywhere to both systems. 0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:08.040 That's good news because it means, you know, people aren't 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:10.400 going to forget about Microsoft's chatbot. 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:14.399 Basically, Okay, so we've got the chatbot, we've got the plugins. 0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:16.000 What about this copilot? 0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:18.320 This got a lot of attention in the press, this 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:21.520 whole idea of Copilot, and it's can you explain what 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:23.679 copilot is because we're going to hear this a lot. 0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:29.280 It sounds like, yeah, so Copilot is basically a digital assistance. 0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:35.280 It's being put into their Microsoft Office software like Word 0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:37.640 and power Point, but it's also now been announced it's 0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:40.720 coming to Windows. We shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. 0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:43.320 It may be a surprise how early it's kind of 0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:45.199 coming that it really shows that Microsoft had a lot 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:48.320 of this stuff planned out. It's similar to the way Quartana, 0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:51.520 Microsoft's previous digital assistant was sort of integrated into the 0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:53.879 operating system. So it's going to slide out from the 0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:56.639 right hand side. You'll have a chat panel there. You 0:20:56.640 --> 0:21:00.159 can basically access being chat right from that, but it 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:03.480 could do much more. So what makes this Copilot is 0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:06.560 it's going to have features to say, control Windows, you 0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:09.720 can actually ask it to do things, that can analyze documents. 0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:12.639 It's going to be a lot more integrated into the 0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:15.359 operating system. And it's my belief that this is just 0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:18.680 the first step. You know, we're hearing rumors that Windows 0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:22.520 twelve was coming in late twenty twenty four, and all 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:25.320 the evidence we have so far from our reporting comes 0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:27.760 back about and is that that operating system is going 0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:29.840 to really take AI to the next level in terms 0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:32.720 of integrating into the operating system to make it even 0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:34.640 more helpful and proactive for users. 0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:37.400 And what's really neat about that is the fact that 0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:39.879 these you know, Windows, there's a lot of features built 0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:42.040 in and I would say people probably use you know, 0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:43.800 five ten percent of them at the most. 0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:44.080 Right. 0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:47.360 So if you can ask for something you want to do, Hey, 0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:49.359 show me all the documents that are larger than one 0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:54.040 hundred megabytes that haven't looked at in a year, you know, yep, 0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:56.720 easily clean out your hard drive like little things like that. 0:21:56.720 --> 0:21:59.240 That just it's just like this whole idea of natural 0:21:59.320 --> 0:22:02.840 language is finally coming to fruition in a big way, 0:22:02.920 --> 0:22:04.359 and I think that's a good thing for the for 0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:05.360 the average user too. 0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:09.280 Yeah, digital systems up until now have been pretty disappointing. 0:22:09.520 --> 0:22:11.520 They were cool at first, but they just did not 0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:14.680 evolve as quickly as we were all hoping to. So 0:22:14.720 --> 0:22:16.920 they had to memorize a lot of commands, which is 0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:20.719 a fantathetical to like user adoptions, right, because who's going 0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:24.320 to go memorize certain commands to do certain tasks? You 0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:27.200 have to have for knowledge that even exists, and that's 0:22:27.200 --> 0:22:29.639 gonna be a difficult thing. That's you know, thankfully, it's 0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:30.440 gonna be overcome now. 0:22:30.840 --> 0:22:33.400 And I think it's also like not just the commands, 0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:35.760 but it was only programmed to do certain things. And 0:22:35.840 --> 0:22:38.560 so this I feel like this whole new generation of 0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:41.880 like this you know, all this AI is that you 0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:43.560 like don't really know what it can do, but it 0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:45.760 doesn't matter because you just ask and see what it 0:22:45.800 --> 0:22:47.680 does and what it's capable of, and then you kind 0:22:47.680 --> 0:22:48.920 of like adapt from there. 0:22:49.840 --> 0:22:50.080 Yep. 0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:50.600 Yeah. 0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:52.920 And there's only a whole subgenre of people that are 0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:57.040 that's coming out of people who are basically masters at 0:22:57.080 --> 0:23:00.880 commands for these chat systems, because you can really you're right, 0:23:00.920 --> 0:23:05.040 I mean, people like started companies using these chat things 0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:07.600 basically asking hey, create me a company, design a website 0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:09.440 for me, blah blah blah, and they put in all 0:23:09.520 --> 0:23:12.800 the specifications that they want, and this thing goes and 0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:15.119 does it, and it's been pretty crazy, and most of 0:23:15.200 --> 0:23:18.200 us are just like asking to do like summarize this document, 0:23:18.240 --> 0:23:19.399 rewrite this sentence. 0:23:19.720 --> 0:23:21.480 There are people take it to the next level. 0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:23.920 Those people are going to be on the cutting edge 0:23:24.040 --> 0:23:26.800 of this technology in terms of I would say knowledge 0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:29.760 workers that are going to be hired and demand, because 0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:32.919 that type of specialty is really interesting that most of 0:23:32.960 --> 0:23:34.080 us currently just don't have. 0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:36.200 Yeah, they call it like prompting, right, like how do 0:23:36.240 --> 0:23:37.200 you prompt these things? 0:23:37.440 --> 0:23:37.880 Exactly? 0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:40.800 So that's wild. I mean it's I did it. There's 0:23:40.800 --> 0:23:43.120 this chatbot that I'm using for like travel, and it's 0:23:43.160 --> 0:23:45.000 like just so wild that you can give it such 0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:47.960 specifics and instead of saying, like, hey, what are the 0:23:47.960 --> 0:23:50.600 best things to do in Charleston? You know, like you 0:23:50.600 --> 0:23:52.480 can look up that on the web all day, but 0:23:52.520 --> 0:23:54.720 it's like, Hey, I have a nine year old a 0:23:54.760 --> 0:23:57.679 twelve year old, we like vegan food and we like 0:23:57.720 --> 0:23:59.800 outdoor activities. Tell me what to do in Charleston for 0:23:59.840 --> 0:24:03.120 the weekend. And it's like that level of search has 0:24:03.200 --> 0:24:07.000 just never been available before in an easy way exactly. 0:24:07.080 --> 0:24:09.159 Yeah, it's going to be really fascinating. To see how 0:24:09.200 --> 0:24:11.120 this is, and it's I think people need. 0:24:11.040 --> 0:24:13.960 To understand that this technology is going to expand exponentially. 0:24:14.240 --> 0:24:16.280 It's not going to be like where we had SIRIE 0:24:16.320 --> 0:24:17.800 a couple of years ago and it got a little 0:24:17.800 --> 0:24:18.560 better here and there. 0:24:18.600 --> 0:24:21.640 This is going to rapidly evolve and there will. 0:24:21.400 --> 0:24:23.640 Be some scary moments right to be like, oh my god, 0:24:23.640 --> 0:24:25.679 I can't believe this is happening. But it's going to 0:24:25.800 --> 0:24:29.119 evolve very very quickly because the more people use it, 0:24:29.119 --> 0:24:31.800 the more data collects, the more the machine learning systems 0:24:32.040 --> 0:24:36.320 and large language models take effect, the more accurate these 0:24:36.359 --> 0:24:37.080 systems become. 0:24:37.520 --> 0:24:40.000 So you're covering this stuff very closely. Anything else that 0:24:40.080 --> 0:24:43.320 Microsoft announced that you think is really important to talk about. 0:24:44.000 --> 0:24:45.200 Yeah, I mean just in general. 0:24:45.240 --> 0:24:47.880 Windows eleven is a big focus for them again, right, 0:24:47.880 --> 0:24:52.119 so this is post pandemic new workforce out there. Computers 0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:56.760 again are super important conferencing video calls, so AI is 0:24:56.760 --> 0:24:57.800 going to be important for that. 0:24:57.960 --> 0:24:58.200 Right. 0:24:58.320 --> 0:25:00.639 They're building it already into the operating and where it 0:25:00.680 --> 0:25:05.520 can automack you blur your background, auto adjust, you cancel 0:25:05.600 --> 0:25:10.320 out noise. NPUs Neural processing units are gonna be really important. 0:25:10.320 --> 0:25:12.200 That's gonna be the next step Intel's or we got 0:25:12.240 --> 0:25:14.000 those coming out, you're gonna. 0:25:13.760 --> 0:25:15.639 Be built into these laptops. 0:25:15.680 --> 0:25:19.720 So a neural processing unit is a coprocessor whose specific 0:25:19.800 --> 0:25:23.359 task is just to handle AI. Currently, what happens is 0:25:23.720 --> 0:25:28.040 your CPU or GPU is doing that task. It's fine, 0:25:28.200 --> 0:25:30.959 but it's brute force. These systems really weren't meant for that, 0:25:31.200 --> 0:25:32.720 and it's going to drain your battery and all that, 0:25:32.760 --> 0:25:35.520 which on the laptop is very important. And NPU though, 0:25:35.560 --> 0:25:39.640 is specifically focused to do the kind of algorithmic processing 0:25:39.920 --> 0:25:43.360 without hitting your CPU and GPU and saving battery life. 0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:44.320 And processing cycles. 0:25:44.600 --> 0:25:47.399 So you guys start to see that integrated into laptops 0:25:47.400 --> 0:25:50.280 and desktop PCs, and it's going to allow things like 0:25:50.440 --> 0:25:53.320 human presence detection. The monitor I'm using right now is 0:25:53.320 --> 0:25:55.600 made by Delves, their new six K. It has a 0:25:55.640 --> 0:25:58.879 really nice four K HDR camera and it has sensors 0:25:59.320 --> 0:26:01.639 so that it's a text If I'm in front of it, 0:26:01.640 --> 0:26:04.040 it's almost like a sonar system. If I walk away 0:26:04.040 --> 0:26:06.400 from it, the monitor can then turn off, and when 0:26:06.440 --> 0:26:08.159 I walk back in front of it, it turns on. 0:26:08.480 --> 0:26:10.919 I don't have to touch anything. That kind of technology 0:26:11.040 --> 0:26:11.480 is going to. 0:26:11.400 --> 0:26:15.160 Be coming to all our computers within the next couple months, 0:26:15.200 --> 0:26:17.240 in the next year or so, and it's going to 0:26:17.280 --> 0:26:20.600 be basically making all our computers even smarter in ways 0:26:20.680 --> 0:26:22.199 we hadn't really thought about before. 0:26:22.400 --> 0:26:24.399 Wow, that is incredible. All right, Daniel, we're going to 0:26:24.480 --> 0:26:27.240 leave it there, Editor in chief of Windows Central. How 0:26:27.240 --> 0:26:28.840 can folks get in touch with you online? 0:26:29.359 --> 0:26:29.639 Sure? 0:26:29.680 --> 0:26:33.119 I'm on Twitter, Daniel, Underscore, Rabino, r Ubi, and oh 0:26:33.560 --> 0:26:36.280 I'm also on Macedon and blue Sky, so you can 0:26:36.320 --> 0:26:38.200 follow me if you go to my Twitter profile.

Otherwise, we do our own podcast on Friday's 0:26:43.480 --> 0:26:45.959 at one thirty pm Eastern Time, where we recap all 0:26:46.000 --> 0:26:48.720 the news for gaming, Microsoft, Windows and all that stuff. 0:26:48.840 --> 0:26:50.680 Perfect tune in, all right, Daniel, thanks so much for 0:26:50.760 --> 0:26:53.639 joining me today. Coming up, we're going to talk more 0:26:53.720 --> 0:26:57.639 about let's see, let's do Amazon. They've got a tablet 0:26:58.200 --> 0:27:00.600 that's actually their best yet and it's one you might 0:27:00.600 --> 0:27:02.680 want to take a look at. Plus your calls at 0:27:02.680 --> 0:27:05.480 triple eight rich one O one eight eight eight seven 0:27:05.600 --> 0:27:08.199 four to two for one zero one.

You're listening 0:27:10.880 --> 0:27:24.400 to Rich on tech rich on tech rich Demiro hanging 0:27:24.440 --> 0:27:28.760 out with you talking technology at triple eight Rich one 0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:31.320 O one. That's eight eight eight seven four to two 0:27:31.840 --> 0:27:35.080 four one zero one. Heidi writes in Hey, Rich, I 0:27:35.119 --> 0:27:38.360 have some great pieces of clothing, several with tags never 0:27:38.440 --> 0:27:42.840 warn that I'm considering selling online. I've researched to different websites, 0:27:42.960 --> 0:27:45.920 watched YouTube videos and tutorials, but I'm still not sure 0:27:46.000 --> 0:27:48.639 what the best platform is for me. I would like 0:27:48.640 --> 0:27:50.240 to be able to make some fun money and have 0:27:50.280 --> 0:27:53.440 the time to do it. Any suggestions, I appreciate you. 0:27:53.480 --> 0:27:56.639 Thanks for your help, Heidi. Well, Heidi, I think that 0:27:56.680 --> 0:27:59.200 there's a couple of ways you can do this. Obviously, 0:27:59.320 --> 0:28:02.320 eBay is the kind of the old school method at 0:28:02.320 --> 0:28:07.080 this point, but there's so many other ways of selling 0:28:07.119 --> 0:28:13.040 things online, especially clothes. I mean, just the offer up 0:28:13.080 --> 0:28:14.840 is the one that comes. I think we did a 0:28:14.840 --> 0:28:17.320 story a couple of years ago and offer up was 0:28:17.400 --> 0:28:20.520 really the one that kind of was picked as the best. 0:28:21.000 --> 0:28:24.720 But for clothes specifically, there's just so many and I 0:28:24.760 --> 0:28:27.520 don't really have a lot of experience selling clothes online, 0:28:27.960 --> 0:28:31.840 but I mean Facebook, Marketplace is obviously another one. Thread 0:28:31.920 --> 0:28:35.240 Up is one Mrcari. That's another one that people like, 0:28:35.840 --> 0:28:38.640 and then isn't Poshmark. I'm not really sure what that 0:28:38.680 --> 0:28:40.920 one's all about, but I know Poshmark a lot of 0:28:40.920 --> 0:28:41.400 people like. 0:28:42.000 --> 0:28:43.400 But here's the thing. I mean, I think no. 0:28:43.400 --> 0:28:46.680 Matter which one of these you choose, it really comes 0:28:46.720 --> 0:28:49.840 down to, don't get scammed because there are just so 0:28:50.240 --> 0:28:53.480 many people ready to prey on you when it comes 0:28:53.560 --> 0:28:57.440 to these online marketplaces. And that's really what I think 0:28:57.600 --> 0:29:01.040 the most important lesson is no matter which one of 0:29:01.080 --> 0:29:02.719 these you use, because I think what you do is 0:29:02.800 --> 0:29:05.280 what I would do, is just put the same item 0:29:05.400 --> 0:29:08.400 on a couple of them and see what my experience is, 0:29:08.440 --> 0:29:11.560 see which one feels the best, is the simplest, is 0:29:11.600 --> 0:29:14.240 the easiest, and then I'd go with that one. But 0:29:14.360 --> 0:29:16.120 I think that a lot of these things, you know, 0:29:16.160 --> 0:29:18.400 you put something on there and immediately you get spammed 0:29:18.400 --> 0:29:20.760 with a lot of people trying to buy stuff, and 0:29:20.880 --> 0:29:22.600 a lot of them are just kind of like, not 0:29:22.680 --> 0:29:25.560 really someone you want to deal with. So that's what 0:29:25.600 --> 0:29:28.560 I would do. But I think that's the main lesson 0:29:28.680 --> 0:29:30.360 I sold. The last time I sold something, it was 0:29:30.400 --> 0:29:32.880 on offer up and it was a great experience. I mean, 0:29:32.920 --> 0:29:34.760 you know, you chat back and forth with the person. 0:29:35.760 --> 0:29:37.480 You know, it was cash deal. So they came to 0:29:37.520 --> 0:29:39.320 my house, they picked up the chair that I sold, 0:29:39.360 --> 0:29:41.000 and it was it was very easy. I think I 0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:42.640 sold like a chair that I bought for a couple 0:29:42.680 --> 0:29:45.240 hundred bucks for like twenty bucks. But it was interesting 0:29:45.280 --> 0:29:48.640 because the person wanted to complete their their chair. They 0:29:48.640 --> 0:29:51.240 had another one, the same exact one I had. They 0:29:51.240 --> 0:29:53.160 wanted to complete that and it wasn't being sold at 0:29:53.160 --> 0:29:54.960 the retailer anymore. So they, you know, it was a 0:29:54.960 --> 0:29:56.840 great deal for them and for me. It just got 0:29:56.840 --> 0:29:58.760 this big giant chair out of my garage, so it 0:29:58.800 --> 0:30:01.080 was perfect. That's what I would do is just be 0:30:01.200 --> 0:30:05.040 very aware of these transactions because but you know, people 0:30:05.040 --> 0:30:07.680 have a great time selling this stuff online and really 0:30:07.760 --> 0:30:08.280 enjoying it. 0:30:08.400 --> 0:30:10.360 So there you go. 0:30:11.040 --> 0:30:15.760 All right, let's talk about the Amazon tablet that launched 0:30:15.840 --> 0:30:19.240 this week. It's called the fire Max eleven. This is 0:30:19.240 --> 0:30:23.760 Amazon's biggest and most powerful tablet yet, and this might 0:30:23.800 --> 0:30:25.760 give the iPad a run for its money if you're 0:30:25.800 --> 0:30:27.680 looking for a budget tablet. I still think that the 0:30:27.720 --> 0:30:30.240 iPad is the best tablet out there, but this is 0:30:30.280 --> 0:30:33.800 the fire Max eleven. Amazon says it's fifty percent more 0:30:33.840 --> 0:30:37.240 powerful than its next best tablet, which tells you something 0:30:37.280 --> 0:30:39.680 that means it's pretty good. It's got an eleven inch screen. 0:30:40.120 --> 0:30:43.520 The price is two hundred and twenty nine dollars, which 0:30:43.560 --> 0:30:45.560 is a great price. I know it's more expensive than 0:30:45.600 --> 0:30:47.840 most of their tablets, but this is a premium tablet. 0:30:48.360 --> 0:30:50.840 It's got a good display, it's got a fingerprint sensor 0:30:50.880 --> 0:30:53.440 for the first time. It's got super fast Wi Fi 0:30:53.480 --> 0:30:57.600 six connectivity, fourteen hours of battery life. It even has 0:30:57.680 --> 0:31:01.520 an available stylust and a keyboard, which they've had them 0:31:01.560 --> 0:31:03.640 in the past, not the stylist, but they've had the 0:31:03.720 --> 0:31:06.600 keyboard in the past for the Amazon tablets, and it's 0:31:06.800 --> 0:31:09.760 you know, it's been kind of like eh, but you know, 0:31:09.800 --> 0:31:12.360 this even has a three month trial of Microsoft three 0:31:12.480 --> 0:31:16.200 sixty five for access to all those apps. So they're 0:31:16.200 --> 0:31:18.920 really positioning this as something that, you know, could be productive. 0:31:19.960 --> 0:31:22.200 I think that this would be a good tablet if 0:31:22.200 --> 0:31:24.680 you don't want an iPad and you don't want one 0:31:24.720 --> 0:31:27.240 of the really cheap fire tablets, you want something that's 0:31:27.240 --> 0:31:30.320 a little bit more premium. I have not tested this yet. 0:31:30.400 --> 0:31:32.360 I have not gotten a test review of this thing, 0:31:32.800 --> 0:31:35.280 so it comes out in June again. It's called the 0:31:35.320 --> 0:31:40.400 fire Max eleven. My advice with any Amazon device is 0:31:40.800 --> 0:31:43.640 to wait for it to go on sale because Amazon 0:31:43.720 --> 0:31:46.120 always puts their stuff on sale, especially around Prime Day 0:31:46.200 --> 0:31:47.680 or throughout the year. So just put this in your 0:31:47.720 --> 0:31:50.080 shopping cart and just keep an eye. Use something like 0:31:50.120 --> 0:31:52.480 honey to keep an eye on the price because it 0:31:52.520 --> 0:31:56.720 will drop again. Firemax eleven two hundred and thirty dollars 0:31:56.720 --> 0:31:58.520 coming out in June. If you want to get the 0:31:58.560 --> 0:32:01.960 bundle with the case and the keyboard and the stylus 0:32:02.240 --> 0:32:05.080 is three hundred and thirty dollars, so not too bad. 0:32:05.360 --> 0:32:09.160 All right. That's the Amazon Fire Max eleven coming soon. 0:32:09.760 --> 0:32:11.239 All right, coming up to the show, we still got 0:32:11.240 --> 0:32:13.160 a lot to talk about, including your calls at Triple 0:32:13.160 --> 0:32:14.120 eight rich one on one. 0:32:14.160 --> 0:32:15.640 That's eight eight eight seven. 0:32:15.520 --> 0:32:18.080 Four to two, four to one zero one. We'll alts 0:32:18.120 --> 0:32:20.840 talk about the newest streamer in town called Max. You're 0:32:20.880 --> 0:32:40.720 listening to Rich on Tech.

That's eight eight eight 0:32:48.080 --> 0:32:52.440 seven four to two four one zero one. Let's go 0:32:52.560 --> 0:32:56.600 to Neon. Neon is in Norwalk, California. 0:32:56.720 --> 0:32:57.800 Neon. You're on with Rich. 0:32:58.720 --> 0:33:02.920 Hi had to is it Parker your son? You had 0:33:02.960 --> 0:33:03.280 to him? 0:33:03.480 --> 0:33:05.120 Parker's right here, Say hello Parker. 0:33:05.400 --> 0:33:08.680 Hello, Parker is fine? 0:33:08.760 --> 0:33:11.440 Thank you? Oh my god, that's so great. So anyway, 0:33:11.480 --> 0:33:13.600 let's go. I know you have to much time, So 0:33:15.000 --> 0:33:19.360 I want to buy Amazon echoes so I can talk 0:33:19.440 --> 0:33:22.200 to it and you know, and and ask him to 0:33:22.240 --> 0:33:27.480 give me information. Uh, would you answer all the all 0:33:27.520 --> 0:33:31.160 the information that I that I asked for it as for. 0:33:32.880 --> 0:33:35.560 Hm hmm, well, like you mean like smart question like 0:33:35.680 --> 0:33:37.400 just questions. 0:33:37.480 --> 0:33:42.720 Let's let's say who was Napoleon? Let's say whatever, who 0:33:42.880 --> 0:33:43.200 was this? 0:33:43.920 --> 0:33:44.160 Yeah? 0:33:45.080 --> 0:33:47.400 Yeah, I think it'll get the basics right on that 0:33:47.480 --> 0:33:49.800 kind of stuff. I think that if you want the 0:33:49.840 --> 0:33:53.200 best answers, I really think that and Parker can answer this. 0:33:53.320 --> 0:33:56.480 You what do you think would be better for answers 0:33:57.480 --> 0:33:59.280 like A I like, well AI? 0:34:00.040 --> 0:34:05.440 Well, I would say, yeah, the probably I would say, like, 0:34:06.080 --> 0:34:07.040 if you're using. 0:34:06.840 --> 0:34:10.799 AI, probably barred, right, But he wants to do voice assistant, oh, 0:34:10.880 --> 0:34:11.440 voice distant. 0:34:11.480 --> 0:34:14.160 Yeah, then I would probably say Google, uh, the Google 0:34:14.200 --> 0:34:19.080 Home because like, yeah, I mean it's really it's like 0:34:19.280 --> 0:34:20.640 it's It's really good. 0:34:20.680 --> 0:34:21.800 It's like top notch. 0:34:22.200 --> 0:34:26.120 Uh. Next one would be Alexa. Alexa is still pretty good. 0:34:26.680 --> 0:34:29.399 Uh yeah, and then we have Theory, which I think 0:34:29.520 --> 0:34:33.920 Theory is probably third, and then alexas second, and Google 0:34:33.960 --> 0:34:34.560 Home is first. 0:34:34.560 --> 0:34:35.719 I would recommend Google Home. 0:34:35.760 --> 0:34:39.000 But yeah, you're so smart. 0:34:39.120 --> 0:34:48.320 Okay, So so what if I say, Alexa to YouTube, 0:34:48.480 --> 0:34:52.400 I want to listen to YouTube? 0:34:53.320 --> 0:34:55.759 Well, I see again, you're you're kind of calling out 0:34:55.800 --> 0:34:57.839 some Google products here, and I think that Google would 0:34:57.840 --> 0:35:00.520 probably be a better, better solution there because Google has 0:35:00.520 --> 0:35:04.280 that direct connection to YouTube. Now, I think the Echo show, 0:35:05.200 --> 0:35:07.400 you know, it can do some of these things, but 0:35:07.800 --> 0:35:10.880 again it's a little bit more limited in the scope 0:35:10.920 --> 0:35:12.360 of what it can do. It can work with a 0:35:12.400 --> 0:35:15.120 lot of third party items and you know, smart home things, 0:35:15.600 --> 0:35:18.880 but YouTube specifically, are you trying to watch YouTube videos 0:35:18.960 --> 0:35:20.719 or are you trying to listen to YouTube music? 0:35:22.040 --> 0:35:28.600 Listen? Yeah, listen, listen to YouTube. Because it is a 0:35:28.640 --> 0:35:31.320 speaker doesn't have a screen, right. 0:35:31.480 --> 0:35:33.560 Well, it depends on the one you get. So when 0:35:33.600 --> 0:35:37.000 it comes to I mean both Amazon and Google, they 0:35:37.040 --> 0:35:40.160 both have both. So some of the Amazon devices, like 0:35:40.200 --> 0:35:43.560 the Echo they're called the Echo shows, those have a screen, 0:35:44.120 --> 0:35:46.080 and then the Echo does not have a screen, that's 0:35:46.160 --> 0:35:49.120 just a speaker. So if you're going Echo show screen, 0:35:49.480 --> 0:35:53.200 Echo no screen. And then if you want on Google side, 0:35:53.280 --> 0:35:57.320 there are Google Home speakers, and then there's the Google 0:35:57.719 --> 0:36:00.839 Nest hubs and those have displays. 0:36:01.200 --> 0:36:02.799 So either way you'll be able to do that. 0:36:02.880 --> 0:36:06.120 But if if you want the Echo show, it supports 0:36:06.160 --> 0:36:08.200 a lot of variety of services, I mean, there's a 0:36:08.239 --> 0:36:09.840 lot of things that it supports. I'm just going to 0:36:09.880 --> 0:36:12.480 the website here to see. I mean, you know, it's 0:36:12.560 --> 0:36:14.600 it's like a lot of third party things that you 0:36:14.600 --> 0:36:15.240 can get. 0:36:15.440 --> 0:36:21.640 Another question, is Internet or count Internet is connected by 0:36:21.680 --> 0:36:22.920 itself to the Internet. 0:36:23.360 --> 0:36:25.840 No, you will need Internet, so you're gonna have to 0:36:25.880 --> 0:36:28.120 connect either one of these to Wi Fi. So, and 0:36:28.120 --> 0:36:30.520 I'm just looking at some of the supported services on 0:36:30.600 --> 0:36:35.400 the Echo Show. You've got Amazon Music, You've got Apple Music, Spotify, 0:36:35.520 --> 0:36:40.960 Prime Video, Netflix, Hulu, Food Network, Kitchen, Headspace, Audible, NPR, 0:36:41.600 --> 0:36:46.319 Amazon Photos, and a couple others. So, and you know, 0:36:46.360 --> 0:36:49.759 it's one of these things where Amazon's always adding new features. 0:36:50.320 --> 0:36:51.960 But it's just you know, you kind of have to 0:36:51.960 --> 0:36:54.719 decide if you want to if you want YouTube specifically, 0:36:54.840 --> 0:36:56.959 I think that the Google is going to be better 0:36:56.960 --> 0:36:59.120 for you because it's just it's just it's made by 0:36:59.160 --> 0:37:01.440 the same company and kind of just work together really well. 0:37:02.600 --> 0:37:06.000 Okay, say thank you to Parker and you Okay, thank 0:37:06.040 --> 0:37:06.560 you so much. 0:37:06.719 --> 0:37:09.000 All right, Neil, thanks for calling in today. I appreciate it. 0:37:11.120 --> 0:37:13.440 Phone number triple eight rich one on one eight eight 0:37:13.520 --> 0:37:18.200 eight seven four to two four one zero one. So, uh, 0:37:18.360 --> 0:37:21.560 it's Memorial Day weekend, obviously a lot of people having 0:37:21.600 --> 0:37:23.960 folks over to the house, So what do we do 0:37:24.760 --> 0:37:27.400 clean up the backyard for the first time? And you know, 0:37:27.480 --> 0:37:30.359 all season, what is it? What is the deal with 0:37:30.600 --> 0:37:33.560 when people are coming over? It makes you clean the 0:37:33.640 --> 0:37:36.080 house right like you never like you always want to 0:37:36.120 --> 0:37:39.319 do this, but you don't do it until someone's coming 0:37:39.360 --> 0:37:40.959 to the house and you say, okay, we should probably 0:37:40.960 --> 0:37:43.040 clean up outside. But then by the time you get 0:37:43.080 --> 0:37:46.520 to that level of something, you're always so frustrated that 0:37:46.600 --> 0:37:49.040 it's gotten to that level that you're just like, why 0:37:49.160 --> 0:37:51.520 is our backyard so dirty? And why is the outside 0:37:51.560 --> 0:37:53.640 so messy? And why is the inside And then you 0:37:53.680 --> 0:37:57.160 get on this whole big you know, not ramp, but 0:37:57.200 --> 0:37:59.920 you're just like you're on this mission to like fix everything, 0:38:00.600 --> 0:38:02.719 and you're doing it on the day people are coming over. 0:38:02.800 --> 0:38:05.839 So that happened to us today before the show. We're 0:38:05.840 --> 0:38:09.520 sitting there going through everything. We're like rearranging stuff, cleaning stuff, 0:38:09.600 --> 0:38:12.000 wiping down stuff. I don't know why why do we 0:38:12.000 --> 0:38:14.480 decide to do it today of all days? We should 0:38:14.640 --> 0:38:16.480 if you do a little bit every weekend, it's like 0:38:16.520 --> 0:38:19.040 you'll keep things in order. But no, it's when I 0:38:19.040 --> 0:38:21.000 grew up, it was the same thing. My parents would 0:38:21.040 --> 0:38:24.600 do the same stuff. We'd have a party. Inevitably you'd 0:38:24.600 --> 0:38:26.360 be like touching up the paint on the side of 0:38:26.360 --> 0:38:29.400 the house, or you'd be like, you know, replanting the 0:38:29.440 --> 0:38:31.880 flowers or something. So I don't know why we decide 0:38:31.880 --> 0:38:33.480 to do all this stuff on the days where you 0:38:33.520 --> 0:38:35.960 need to have people over and you should be relaxing. 0:38:36.320 --> 0:38:38.680 But it's just the way we work. So maybe that's 0:38:39.120 --> 0:38:42.080 just everyone all right. You can follow me on social media. 0:38:42.200 --> 0:38:45.120 I am at rich on Tech, on Instagram, on Facebook, 0:38:45.200 --> 0:38:48.759 on Twitter. Typically I go through what I've posted on 0:38:49.239 --> 0:38:52.200 Instagram for the week at rich on Tech. This week 0:38:52.280 --> 0:38:54.359 was a big one. Anytime I go to like one 0:38:54.400 --> 0:38:57.640 of these big events, there's always like something really interesting 0:38:57.719 --> 0:39:01.759 at these events and visual So this week, let's see, 0:39:01.760 --> 0:39:04.640 I went to this place called Lake Hollywood where they 0:39:04.640 --> 0:39:07.600 have this great view of the Hollywood Sign in Los Angeles. 0:39:08.120 --> 0:39:11.040 I've lived in the area for many years, never been 0:39:11.520 --> 0:39:12.480 and it was incredible. 0:39:12.480 --> 0:39:13.480 So I just took my phone out. 0:39:13.520 --> 0:39:15.440 I made a little Instagram reel of that, and it's 0:39:15.480 --> 0:39:17.880 just if you have people coming to Los Angeles. If 0:39:17.920 --> 0:39:21.040 you ever visit Los Angeles, look up a place called 0:39:21.400 --> 0:39:24.400 Lake Hollywood Park. It is probably the best place in 0:39:24.440 --> 0:39:26.399 the world to take a picture of the Hollywood Sign. 0:39:26.680 --> 0:39:29.480 My picture is not very good, but the video I 0:39:29.520 --> 0:39:32.239 took gives you an idea of just how nice this is. 0:39:32.920 --> 0:39:35.640 Then I went to this thing called the Display Week, 0:39:35.680 --> 0:39:39.200 which is put on by the Society for Information Display. 0:39:40.040 --> 0:39:42.600 This is like a trade group, but this was probably 0:39:42.600 --> 0:39:46.239 one of the most visual shows I've ever been to 0:39:46.360 --> 0:39:49.279 outside of CS So I did a video of this 0:39:49.640 --> 0:39:55.200 sixty five inch eight K foldable o LED display. And 0:39:55.840 --> 0:39:58.319 it's not something that they're going to make today. You've 0:39:58.400 --> 0:40:02.840 seen foldable phones, imagine that, but giant sixty five inch screen. 0:40:03.040 --> 0:40:06.720 This thing is enormous. It folds up into a little box. 0:40:06.800 --> 0:40:09.239 Why would you need it? I have no idea. Now 0:40:09.360 --> 0:40:11.799 people are debating on my Instagram. Why do you need 0:40:11.840 --> 0:40:15.200 a TV that folds up into a little box? 0:40:15.640 --> 0:40:17.400 I don't know. But maybe you have an RV I 0:40:17.400 --> 0:40:17.719 don't know. 0:40:17.719 --> 0:40:19.560 Maybe you have like a small space, maybe you have 0:40:19.560 --> 0:40:21.720 a little apartment that doesn't fit a lot of stuff. 0:40:22.120 --> 0:40:25.319 So it just these companies like to flex a little 0:40:25.320 --> 0:40:28.840 bit and show off what is possible. And if they didn't, 0:40:28.880 --> 0:40:30.520 that'd be a bad thing, right because we wouldn't have 0:40:30.560 --> 0:40:34.280 the innovations that lead to things that are actually useful. 0:40:34.840 --> 0:40:39.000 But this TV sixty five inch o lad screen, it's 0:40:39.040 --> 0:40:42.240 pretty incredible. It's from TCL and it's not a TV. 0:40:42.360 --> 0:40:45.200 I guess it's just a display, so that's on there 0:40:45.239 --> 0:40:48.640 as well. And then ugh, this is really cool. It's 0:40:48.640 --> 0:40:52.439 called a micro display. These are displays that are going 0:40:52.480 --> 0:40:56.840 to be powering our VR and AR headsets. And a 0:40:56.840 --> 0:40:58.640 lot of people are talking about this stuff right now 0:40:58.680 --> 0:41:01.959 because Apple is holding their next big event on June fifth, 0:41:02.040 --> 0:41:06.520 which I'll be at, and they are widely expected to 0:41:06.600 --> 0:41:11.680 show off a new augmented reality headset. And so the 0:41:11.800 --> 0:41:14.439 reality is this is something that people have been talking 0:41:14.440 --> 0:41:18.399 about with Apple for so long, so long, and it's 0:41:18.520 --> 0:41:23.719 finally coming to fruition supposedly, so these little displays, and 0:41:23.760 --> 0:41:26.200 all the people at the event were like, they didn't 0:41:26.239 --> 0:41:28.000 want to say it was because of Apple, but they're like, 0:41:28.040 --> 0:41:30.680 these are going to be very important, very soon. But 0:41:30.719 --> 0:41:32.399 I look through this little and I have this video 0:41:32.520 --> 0:41:34.040 on my Instagram at Richon Tech. 0:41:34.080 --> 0:41:35.120 You have to take a look. 0:41:35.440 --> 0:41:38.360 It looks like a peephole on a door, but you 0:41:38.440 --> 0:41:41.399 look through and there is a giant it almost looks 0:41:41.400 --> 0:41:44.640 like a giant screen inside. And what this is is 0:41:44.680 --> 0:41:48.600 it is a one point three inch four K micro 0:41:49.120 --> 0:41:51.919 o led display one point three inches but you look 0:41:51.960 --> 0:41:55.120 through this magnifying glass and it looks like an entire 0:41:55.680 --> 0:41:56.520 world inside. 0:41:57.440 --> 0:41:59.480 And just the way I shot it. 0:41:58.960 --> 0:42:00.600 It kind of like zooms in it and you like 0:42:00.600 --> 0:42:02.400 look almost like you're peering into it and you just 0:42:02.440 --> 0:42:03.200 see this whole thing. 0:42:03.560 --> 0:42:05.640 It's quite incredible. So that's on there as well. 0:42:06.239 --> 0:42:08.880 But those were two things that sort of went not viral, 0:42:08.960 --> 0:42:11.040 but you know, definitely a lot of interest. The other 0:42:11.080 --> 0:42:14.600 thing is this idea called a living vehicle. It's kind 0:42:14.600 --> 0:42:18.400 of like an RV, but it's a self sustainable, I 0:42:18.440 --> 0:42:21.640 don't know, a living vehicle, and it's got solar on 0:42:21.719 --> 0:42:24.520 the top. It's also pulls water in from thin air, 0:42:24.920 --> 0:42:27.080 and people are like, Rich, this is called an RV. 0:42:27.200 --> 0:42:30.120 We've had RVs forever. Well, RVs don't necessarily have solar 0:42:30.239 --> 0:42:32.880 and pull water from the air, so you can live anywhere. 0:42:33.320 --> 0:42:35.440 That was on my Facebook page and people are debating 0:42:35.440 --> 0:42:38.920 that as well. So lots of things always being posted. 0:42:38.960 --> 0:42:40.719 I love going to these events because I just get 0:42:40.760 --> 0:42:43.600 to see all this cool stuff, and of course I'm 0:42:43.600 --> 0:42:44.239 sharing it with you. 0:42:44.480 --> 0:42:45.000 That's you know. 0:42:45.480 --> 0:42:47.680 I do this stuff for TV, but I put on 0:42:47.680 --> 0:42:49.560 my Instagram as well, and it's just a lot of 0:42:49.600 --> 0:42:53.000 fun to do it all right. Coming up this week, 0:42:53.120 --> 0:42:57.200 the Surgeon General said that social media has a definite 0:42:57.320 --> 0:43:00.800 impact on teenagers. So we're going to talk Jim Steyer 0:43:01.160 --> 0:43:04.440 of Common Sense Media. He's gonna tell us some thoughts 0:43:04.520 --> 0:43:07.840 on that whole situation. We've got your calls at Triple 0:43:07.880 --> 0:43:10.399 eight Rich one O one eight eight eight seven four 0:43:10.440 --> 0:43:12.479 to two four to one zero one.

I've 0:43:49.480 --> 0:43:52.880 got my son Parker, got Adam on the board, and 0:43:52.960 --> 0:43:56.400 we've got Paully Ann calling in from Arcadia. 0:43:56.440 --> 0:43:57.680 Paully Anne, welcome to the show. 0:43:58.440 --> 0:44:01.719 Oh, thank you. I'm in Temple City now. I was 0:44:01.800 --> 0:44:02.920 driving home from the market. 0:44:03.280 --> 0:44:06.040 Yeah, so you've shifted locations. 0:44:06.360 --> 0:44:12.520 Yes, here's my problem I have. Maybe it's an iPhone 0:44:12.600 --> 0:44:16.719 ten or eleven. I charge it every night while I'm 0:44:16.840 --> 0:44:20.960 in bed, and this morning I woke up to take 0:44:20.960 --> 0:44:22.800 a look at my phone and it was dead. 0:44:24.200 --> 0:44:24.960 And I've been. 0:44:25.480 --> 0:44:28.719 Trying to revive it. And you're probably my last call 0:44:28.800 --> 0:44:36.200 before I call AT and T to figure out what next, because, 0:44:36.840 --> 0:44:40.480 thank goodness, I have a watch. Okay, I cannot say 0:44:40.560 --> 0:44:43.319 enough about the Apple Watch because at least I have 0:44:43.440 --> 0:44:45.399 this watch in which I'm speaking to you. 0:44:46.320 --> 0:44:48.759 Now you're calling me. Hold on, you're calling me from 0:44:48.760 --> 0:44:51.879 your watch. Yes, this is incredible. This is a first 0:44:51.920 --> 0:44:52.400 for the show. 0:44:53.280 --> 0:44:55.440 I think I can't. 0:44:55.200 --> 0:44:58.080 Say enough about the Apple Watch. It's not even a 0:44:58.120 --> 0:45:00.760 new fancy one, but it's great. 0:45:01.000 --> 0:45:01.560 I got to say. 0:45:01.600 --> 0:45:04.640 It sounds excellent. It sounds really really good. And in fact, 0:45:04.719 --> 0:45:09.240 when Apple launched the Apple Watch, they had a person 0:45:09.360 --> 0:45:12.120 in the middle of a lake on a on a 0:45:12.239 --> 0:45:15.480 one of those things called not a canoe, the paddle board. 0:45:15.680 --> 0:45:18.680 She was on a paddle board and she she called 0:45:19.200 --> 0:45:22.319 live on the stage when they were demoing this capability 0:45:23.840 --> 0:45:26.840 the call quality of the Apple Watch, and it was excellent, 0:45:27.440 --> 0:45:29.160 and so I'm very impressed. 0:45:29.200 --> 0:45:33.320 Anyway. Okay, so you have this phone. Do you know 0:45:33.360 --> 0:45:34.360 which model number it is? 0:45:35.560 --> 0:45:38.120 I think it's the ten or eleven. Okay, one of 0:45:38.160 --> 0:45:40.960 the first ones that have the there's no home button. 0:45:41.280 --> 0:45:42.080 You know, it's goods. 0:45:42.160 --> 0:45:45.880 Just swipe the screen. I'm wondering if it's just dark 0:45:45.920 --> 0:45:47.319 and I'm not seeing it. 0:45:47.680 --> 0:45:49.759 No, no, no, they're okay. So here's what I want 0:45:49.800 --> 0:45:50.120 you to do. 0:45:50.800 --> 0:45:54.120 So there is most people now you've probably tried holding 0:45:54.160 --> 0:45:57.080 down the home button and it doesn't do anything right correct, 0:45:57.120 --> 0:46:00.000 like the side button. Okay, So there is a little 0:46:00.200 --> 0:46:03.840 trick with the iPhone that is not widely known but 0:46:03.960 --> 0:46:06.439 it's a can we call it kind of a hard 0:46:06.520 --> 0:46:09.640 restart or a force restart, and this should just should 0:46:09.719 --> 0:46:12.160 kind of snap it into action. So let's try this together. 0:46:12.200 --> 0:46:12.560 Okay. 0:46:13.160 --> 0:46:15.200 So it's it's kind of like the old days of 0:46:15.320 --> 0:46:17.759 like abba, you gotta press. So here's here's the what 0:46:17.880 --> 0:46:20.120 you have to do. So you press and release the 0:46:20.200 --> 0:46:22.360 volume up. Don't do this just yet, so it's pressure 0:46:22.360 --> 0:46:25.359 release volume up, pressure release volume down, and then you 0:46:25.400 --> 0:46:28.280 press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears. 0:46:28.840 --> 0:46:31.120 So, okay, have you tried this yet? 0:46:31.680 --> 0:46:34.720 I have, but I am willing to try it again. 0:46:34.880 --> 0:46:37.920 You got to limber up the fingers, so kind of 0:46:38.040 --> 0:46:40.600 do a little stretch with them, you know, get them going, 0:46:41.040 --> 0:46:45.400 and then up volume up, volume down, and then press 0:46:45.440 --> 0:46:47.560 and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears. 0:46:49.080 --> 0:46:53.080 Okay, I am pressing and holding this side button and 0:46:53.120 --> 0:46:54.359 I'm thinking happy. 0:46:54.080 --> 0:46:56.840 Thoughts and you gotta It might take a bit because it's. 0:46:56.640 --> 0:46:59.640 Like, you know, it's yes, I understand, you know, it. 0:46:59.600 --> 0:47:02.840 Tells it tells the phone like, hey, stop fooling around. 0:47:03.400 --> 0:47:05.560 Let's uh, let's you know, get down to business here, 0:47:05.600 --> 0:47:08.799 and let's let's actually force restart this thing now. Are 0:47:08.880 --> 0:47:11.000 you positive that it charged overnight? 0:47:13.960 --> 0:47:17.759 Yeah, it was plugged in. I've tested that cord with 0:47:17.960 --> 0:47:23.720 other devices. You know, it lights up other devices I've tried. 0:47:23.800 --> 0:47:25.560 I mean, I woke up at like seven o'clock, so 0:47:25.640 --> 0:47:29.520 I've been trying to pull it in and charge it 0:47:30.120 --> 0:47:31.080 for all this time. 0:47:31.400 --> 0:47:34.680 Okay, So now when you okay, now that same exact charger. 0:47:34.760 --> 0:47:36.279 Did you try and this is kind of like the 0:47:36.280 --> 0:47:38.719 troubleshooting steps. I would take it home. Did you try 0:47:38.760 --> 0:47:41.800 plugging that into like another device and watching it say charging? 0:47:42.440 --> 0:47:42.760 Yeah? 0:47:42.800 --> 0:47:45.719 And it does, so you confirm that. Now the other 0:47:45.800 --> 0:47:48.440 thing is that so this isn't working. It sounds like 0:47:48.480 --> 0:47:51.279 this would have come up by now, okay, like you 0:47:51.440 --> 0:47:54.400 you didn't see the Apple logo come up? Nope, okay, 0:47:54.880 --> 0:47:57.000 So if that didn't happen, it sounds like your phone 0:47:57.080 --> 0:48:00.880 is dead. So I would what I would do personally 0:48:01.040 --> 0:48:02.600 is I would look in the port, have you do 0:48:02.640 --> 0:48:04.480 you have a wireless charger available. 0:48:04.080 --> 0:48:06.080 To you now? 0:48:06.480 --> 0:48:08.040 Because what I would do is I would try putting 0:48:08.040 --> 0:48:10.640 it on a wireless charger and see if that brings 0:48:10.640 --> 0:48:12.840 it to life, and then that might mean that you 0:48:12.840 --> 0:48:15.399 have something stuck in the bottom of this phone. That's 0:48:15.400 --> 0:48:18.920 causing it to not charge. So when you plug it in, 0:48:18.960 --> 0:48:20.960 do you hear anything? No, no sound to let it 0:48:21.000 --> 0:48:21.479 wait wait. 0:48:21.400 --> 0:48:25.000 Wait it just I don't see that Apple logo, but 0:48:25.080 --> 0:48:28.920 I see it looks like a little screen that it 0:48:28.920 --> 0:48:29.840 looks like a computer. 0:48:29.960 --> 0:48:32.040 It looks like okay. 0:48:32.000 --> 0:48:34.440 Rectangle like, hey charge this. 0:48:34.719 --> 0:48:37.040 Okay, Well that's a good sign. So it sounds like. 0:48:37.000 --> 0:48:41.680 It's okay restore Okay, this is this is hopeful. 0:48:41.840 --> 0:48:43.040 Okay, you have the magic. 0:48:43.480 --> 0:48:45.520 Well it sounds like it's coming back to life, slowly 0:48:45.560 --> 0:48:49.160 but surely. So I would just continue on whatever it's 0:48:49.160 --> 0:48:51.319 saying on the screen. Just see what it's kind of saying. 0:48:51.360 --> 0:48:53.680 If it's uh, you know, selling you to restart it, 0:48:53.840 --> 0:48:55.360 or is it saying restore. 0:48:56.560 --> 0:49:01.320 It's support dot Apple dot com or slash iPhone forward, 0:49:01.360 --> 0:49:04.360 slash store, and it's saying, hey. 0:49:04.320 --> 0:49:06.600 Plug it, plug it into plug it into a computer. 0:49:07.600 --> 0:49:10.960 Okay, so that into Yeah, so I would plug it 0:49:11.000 --> 0:49:13.120 into your computer and see hopefully have a backup that 0:49:13.160 --> 0:49:14.919 could be. But I would at this point, since you've 0:49:14.920 --> 0:49:18.120 gotten it to come alive, does it does it show 0:49:18.160 --> 0:49:19.120 the battery icon? 0:49:19.920 --> 0:49:24.120 No, it doesn't. It's just showing like it's showing like 0:49:24.200 --> 0:49:24.920 the little. 0:49:24.719 --> 0:49:27.239 Yeah, it's showing that it's saying like basically, plug me 0:49:27.239 --> 0:49:29.120 into a computer to kind of go to the next step. 0:49:29.239 --> 0:49:32.960 So I guess you can try that and see what happens. 0:49:33.080 --> 0:49:35.200 Or you can try restarting it again one more time 0:49:35.239 --> 0:49:37.040 with that force restart. Now that it's kind of come 0:49:37.120 --> 0:49:39.520 to life, you might try one more time to just 0:49:39.600 --> 0:49:42.799 restart it or maybe hold down the side button and 0:49:42.800 --> 0:49:45.600 see if that will do it. So, but that's uh, 0:49:45.760 --> 0:49:47.799 that's kind of like the main thing to do. But 0:49:47.880 --> 0:49:49.759 I think it sounds like it's starting to come back 0:49:49.800 --> 0:49:50.280 to life. 0:49:50.320 --> 0:49:53.719 So that's the kin very I'm very hopeful, So thank 0:49:53.760 --> 0:49:57.360 you so much. I've been watching you ONLA five and 0:49:57.480 --> 0:50:01.200 without any other resources, I heard you on the radio. 0:50:01.480 --> 0:50:03.520 I'm like, okay, let's. 0:50:03.280 --> 0:50:05.960 Try this well, try it out and email me hello 0:50:06.000 --> 0:50:07.640 at rich on tech dot tv to let me know 0:50:07.719 --> 0:50:10.319 if your phone in fact comes back to life. The 0:50:10.360 --> 0:50:12.680 iPhone is this weird thing because there's not many buttons, 0:50:12.680 --> 0:50:16.000 there's not many instructions, so when it's something, it usually works. 0:50:16.360 --> 0:50:18.440 When it doesn't, it's kind of like, okay, now what 0:50:18.440 --> 0:50:20.520 do I do. But the good news is Apple has 0:50:20.560 --> 0:50:22.960 built some things into the iPhone that help you get 0:50:22.960 --> 0:50:26.399 it back to working, even if it seems like it's 0:50:26.440 --> 0:50:28.880 gone terribly wrong. But it sounds like her phone is 0:50:28.960 --> 0:50:31.279 kind of there's some life still breathing into it. So 0:50:31.320 --> 0:50:33.400 I think we're going to have a happy ending for 0:50:33.440 --> 0:50:36.359 that one, Paullyan, So thanks for thanks for calling in 0:50:36.360 --> 0:50:39.040 today at triple eight rich one on one. Coming up next, 0:50:39.040 --> 0:50:41.279 we're going to talk to the founder and CEO of 0:50:41.280 --> 0:50:45.240 Common Sense. He is going to discuss the Surgeon General's 0:50:45.280 --> 0:50:48.319 warning about the impact of social media on teens. You're 0:50:48.320 --> 0:50:54.960 listening to Rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech. 0:50:55.080 --> 0:50:59.319 Rich DeMuro here talking technology with you at triple eight 0:50:59.480 --> 0:51:02.839 rich one. That's eight eight eight seven four to two, 0:51:03.440 --> 0:51:08.080 four to one zero one. This week, the Surgeon General 0:51:08.760 --> 0:51:12.640 issued a public warning about the risks of social media 0:51:12.719 --> 0:51:16.440 to young people, saying basically that we don't really know 0:51:16.560 --> 0:51:19.640 the impact of this stuff, so we've got to be 0:51:19.719 --> 0:51:22.680 on guard. And I think that's where I'll bring in 0:51:23.160 --> 0:51:26.880 Jim Steier. He is the founder and CEO of Common 0:51:26.960 --> 0:51:29.480 Sense Media. Jim, welcome to the show. 0:51:31.000 --> 0:51:31.600 Good to be here. 0:51:31.719 --> 0:51:31.919 Rich. 0:51:32.239 --> 0:51:34.400 Hey, So about the Surgeon General. 0:51:34.160 --> 0:51:35.120 Yeah, let's talk about this. 0:51:35.160 --> 0:51:38.080 So first off, just kind of give me your What 0:51:38.120 --> 0:51:40.040 did the Surgeon General say, is it? I kind of 0:51:40.080 --> 0:51:43.239 summarized it very quickly, but he basically just said that, like, look, 0:51:43.280 --> 0:51:45.000 we don't really know what's going on here, so we 0:51:45.080 --> 0:51:47.760 need to be aware of this, and kind. 0:51:47.600 --> 0:51:50.200 Of no, I actually rich he went much further than 0:51:50.480 --> 0:51:53.520 First of all, the surgeon General, doctor Badak Murphy is 0:51:53.560 --> 0:51:55.880 one of the best leaders in the United States. He 0:51:55.920 --> 0:51:59.360 was Surgeon General under President Obama and then he was 0:51:59.480 --> 0:52:03.080 reappointed by President Biden. He's one of the great medical 0:52:03.160 --> 0:52:05.520 and public health expersts in the United States and the 0:52:05.640 --> 0:52:07.759 a parent, by the way, And he actually went a 0:52:07.760 --> 0:52:11.600 lot farther than you said. He said, we believe that 0:52:11.640 --> 0:52:14.640 social media is hazardous to the mental health of young people, 0:52:14.960 --> 0:52:17.399 period full stop. And he said there are a number 0:52:17.400 --> 0:52:21.080 of different elements of this, but the evidence is now 0:52:21.160 --> 0:52:26.400 quite clear that social media, used unwisely by tens of 0:52:26.400 --> 0:52:28.719 millions of kids in the United States has a very 0:52:28.760 --> 0:52:32.040 delagorious impact on their health and mental health, on issues 0:52:32.160 --> 0:52:38.360 like addiction and tension, distraction, on issues like body image 0:52:38.400 --> 0:52:43.640 and eating disorders, on issues regarding suicide and self harmed. 0:52:44.000 --> 0:52:47.080 So he actually went much farther. It's quite similar to 0:52:47.080 --> 0:52:49.160 what the Surgeon General of the United States did fifty 0:52:49.200 --> 0:52:51.800 years ago or so when they put the warning label 0:52:51.840 --> 0:52:55.000 on the package of cigarettes that said tobacco smoking is 0:52:55.040 --> 0:52:59.440 hazardous your health. So this is a landmark moment for 0:52:59.480 --> 0:53:01.560 the Surgeon General and he did it on his own. 0:53:01.880 --> 0:53:03.560 The White House newe was going to come out with it. 0:53:04.000 --> 0:53:07.400 But it's really a statement by doctor Murphy. And I 0:53:07.440 --> 0:53:10.240 think for everyone in your audience, every parent, every educator, 0:53:10.280 --> 0:53:13.480 and every young person, they should listen loud and clear 0:53:13.560 --> 0:53:15.160 to what doctor Murphy had to say. 0:53:15.960 --> 0:53:17.799 Wow, that's really impactful. 0:53:17.840 --> 0:53:21.000 And I okay, so I guess breaking it down, what 0:53:21.239 --> 0:53:23.520 do you think we do from here? So now we're 0:53:23.560 --> 0:53:26.440 saying like, yeah, there's a problem, we know there's a problem. 0:53:26.640 --> 0:53:28.880 What is the solution? I mean what you know? 0:53:29.040 --> 0:53:31.640 Because tech companies, like any company, they don't want to 0:53:31.680 --> 0:53:35.040 be regulated. They don't want anyone to step in and say, hey, 0:53:35.080 --> 0:53:37.480 here's what you should do, so they come up with 0:53:37.520 --> 0:53:40.440 their own. You know, Instagram has a little warning that 0:53:40.440 --> 0:53:42.239 says you bring on for an hour and kids just 0:53:42.280 --> 0:53:45.520 click through it. It's really a wild West when it 0:53:45.520 --> 0:53:46.799 comes to these programs, isn't it. 0:53:46.840 --> 0:53:49.760 That's right? And they've clearly failed let's be just blunt 0:53:49.760 --> 0:53:51.960 about it. So Rich you did and introduce me as 0:53:51.960 --> 0:53:53.680 the head of Common Sense Media and the founder. But 0:53:53.760 --> 0:53:56.799 we are, you know, far and away the largest shall 0:53:56.960 --> 0:53:59.120 advoacy and kids media and tech group in the United 0:53:59.160 --> 0:54:01.840 States and globally. So what has to be done is 0:54:01.880 --> 0:54:05.759 multiple things. First and foremost, they absolutely need to be regulated, 0:54:06.040 --> 0:54:09.000 and they actually are in certain places. For example, in 0:54:09.040 --> 0:54:12.480 twenty eighteen, we passed a major privacy law in California, 0:54:12.520 --> 0:54:14.320 which is essentially the law of the land in the 0:54:14.400 --> 0:54:19.400 United States now, which protects everyone's privacy, including adults, but 0:54:19.480 --> 0:54:22.560 it particularly protects the privacy of young people. That doesn't 0:54:22.600 --> 0:54:26.360 mean that social media platforms necessarily always follow every guideline 0:54:26.360 --> 0:54:28.560 in that law, but that was a big issue around privacy, 0:54:29.120 --> 0:54:31.959 and last year in California we passed a major piece 0:54:31.960 --> 0:54:35.920 of legislation called the Age Appropriate Design Code, which actually 0:54:35.960 --> 0:54:40.520 holds platforms like Instagram and snapchats and TikTok et cetera 0:54:42.239 --> 0:54:47.040 a liable for the design flaws that will addict young 0:54:47.080 --> 0:54:50.879 people to the platforms. 0:54:49.320 --> 0:54:51.320 Like gambling. Even for adults. 0:54:51.560 --> 0:54:53.880 When you log on to Instagram and see those little 0:54:53.880 --> 0:54:56.360 hearts that pop up in the comments, that's like gambling. 0:54:56.400 --> 0:54:57.799 It's like, oh, I got something. 0:54:58.320 --> 0:55:01.400 Very good acknology, very good announce because it's addictive and 0:55:01.440 --> 0:55:04.920 it leads to compulsive behavior, just like gambling does. And 0:55:04.960 --> 0:55:07.240 by the way, you're right, the efforts by the companies 0:55:07.239 --> 0:55:10.120 like Instagram are pathetic. They are not really serious. They're 0:55:10.200 --> 0:55:12.320 just sort of fig leaves in order to try to 0:55:12.360 --> 0:55:14.640 make like they're make it look like they're doing something. 0:55:15.000 --> 0:55:19.560 So there's number one. The solution is clear and bold regulation. 0:55:19.640 --> 0:55:22.160 And by the way, there's a major bill in California 0:55:22.640 --> 0:55:26.640 right now, SB two eighty seven that's authored by Senator 0:55:26.719 --> 0:55:30.840 Nancy Skinner and endorsed by the Attorney General Rob Bonta, 0:55:31.160 --> 0:55:35.200 which would hold social media platforms legally liable for harms 0:55:35.200 --> 0:55:36.960 they do to young people under the age of eighteen. 0:55:37.400 --> 0:55:40.000 So that's a very important bill. By the way, that's 0:55:40.160 --> 0:55:42.680 right in Sacramento. Now you might ask why I'm talking 0:55:42.680 --> 0:55:46.480 about Sacramento versus Washington, d C. Well, the reason is 0:55:46.520 --> 0:55:50.680 because the Congress has been missing in action since Mark 0:55:51.160 --> 0:55:54.600 Zuckerberg was in diapers. They literally have not passed any 0:55:54.719 --> 0:55:58.680 regulatory structure for social media or the tech industry writ 0:55:58.760 --> 0:56:02.560 large since the late nineties. So in the period of 0:56:02.960 --> 0:56:06.520 massive change where everyone now is affected by the Internet 0:56:06.560 --> 0:56:10.239 and social media and big tech platforms. Congress has been 0:56:10.480 --> 0:56:14.319 completely missing in action and has failed the American public pathetically, 0:56:14.520 --> 0:56:17.880 partly because the tech companies have lobbied so much against it. 0:56:18.200 --> 0:56:22.080 So California has essentially become the place in the United 0:56:22.080 --> 0:56:25.279 States that regulate tech companies, but Europe also does as well. 0:56:25.480 --> 0:56:27.920 So one issue is regulation, but the second thing is 0:56:27.960 --> 0:56:30.480 you really have to educate young people about all of this, 0:56:31.160 --> 0:56:33.680 and so we have a program in one hundred and 0:56:33.680 --> 0:56:37.800 ten thousand schools. Collegen's a big organization about digital literacy 0:56:37.840 --> 0:56:41.640 and citizenship, and some of that's about basic how to 0:56:41.680 --> 0:56:45.160 protect your identity, how to keep your privacy, how to 0:56:45.239 --> 0:56:48.640 not compare yourself to everybody on the internet on platforms 0:56:48.680 --> 0:56:51.239 like Instagram, But some of it's now increasingly about mental 0:56:51.280 --> 0:56:54.560 health issues. And that's why the Surgeon General released this 0:56:54.680 --> 0:56:57.880 warning this past week because he's really concerned that we, 0:56:58.239 --> 0:57:01.600 which we do, have a mental health crisis in this country, 0:57:01.640 --> 0:57:04.560 and it's clear that social media is one of the 0:57:04.640 --> 0:57:08.360 major contributing factors. So there's an education alternate solution to 0:57:08.920 --> 0:57:12.400 and then they're finally holding the tech industry accountable not 0:57:12.440 --> 0:57:16.439 just through legislation, but quite frankly through shaming them when 0:57:16.440 --> 0:57:18.840 they do stuff that tazards the help of young people. 0:57:19.400 --> 0:57:23.480 Now, some of these suggestions in the report where create boundaries, 0:57:23.640 --> 0:57:25.880 limit the use of phones, tablets, computers for at least 0:57:25.880 --> 0:57:29.440 one hour before bedtime, you know, keep meal times and 0:57:29.560 --> 0:57:33.840 in person gatherings, device free, engage in two way conversations, 0:57:33.880 --> 0:57:37.400 connect with people in person, make unplugged interactions a daily priority. 0:57:37.680 --> 0:57:39.680 And then some of the stuff you mentioned, be cautious 0:57:39.680 --> 0:57:42.120 about what you share. And then they get into don't 0:57:42.160 --> 0:57:45.280 keep harassment or abuse a secret when and that comes to, 0:57:45.400 --> 0:57:47.560 you know, cyber bullying and all those kind of things. 0:57:47.880 --> 0:57:51.960 But here's what I notice, as you know, a spectator 0:57:52.040 --> 0:57:54.720 in not only having kids but also sure, what I 0:57:54.760 --> 0:57:59.560 see is that this thing is a babysitter. It is simple, 0:58:00.120 --> 0:58:04.760 it's easy, it's it works everywhere. It allows parents to 0:58:04.840 --> 0:58:08.480 enjoy their dinner. And I don't think that there's a 0:58:08.520 --> 0:58:13.000 lot of impetus by parents or kids to think about 0:58:13.000 --> 0:58:15.280 some of this stuff. So how do we change that 0:58:15.400 --> 0:58:15.880 part of it? 0:58:16.440 --> 0:58:19.280 So that's a really good question, rich and honestly, again, 0:58:19.360 --> 0:58:21.800 running the biggest organization in the country on these issues. 0:58:21.800 --> 0:58:23.760 I would tell you that there's more awareness than you 0:58:23.880 --> 0:58:26.920 just suggested about this. But you're right, it's an updill battle. 0:58:27.160 --> 0:58:29.560 So if the onus were only on parents and young 0:58:29.600 --> 0:58:32.600 people themselves to follow all those suggestions that you just 0:58:32.680 --> 0:58:35.920 listed from the surgeon in general, right, that would probably 0:58:36.000 --> 0:58:39.000 not be sufficient alone. Although I would tell you, having 0:58:39.080 --> 0:58:42.080 run common Sense now for nearly twenty years, there's been 0:58:42.080 --> 0:58:44.760 a sea change in understanding of thing. But for example, 0:58:44.800 --> 0:58:46.320 I'm the father or four kids. Rich I don't know 0:58:46.360 --> 0:58:46.960 how many kids. 0:58:46.840 --> 0:58:48.320 You have, but I've got two. I've got one in 0:58:48.400 --> 0:58:50.080 studio with me today, my eleven year old. 0:58:50.080 --> 0:58:51.760 There you go, Well, you should ask your kid in 0:58:51.760 --> 0:58:54.720 the studio what rules they followed, But I will, but put. 0:58:54.520 --> 0:58:57.040 Me on the spot. Believe met it put them on 0:58:57.040 --> 0:58:57.360 the spot. 0:58:57.400 --> 0:59:00.440 But anyway, the doctor Bentsy is totally correctly. Look, you 0:59:00.440 --> 0:59:02.520 shouldn't go to bed with your phone. You should put 0:59:02.520 --> 0:59:05.360 it away or your tablet. And so that's a rule 0:59:05.360 --> 0:59:07.400 that parents can enforce, but they have to also be 0:59:07.440 --> 0:59:09.440 a role model. One thing that we say, we have 0:59:09.480 --> 0:59:12.240 one hundred and fifty million users that common Sense media annually, 0:59:12.640 --> 0:59:14.360 so we tell parents all the time by the way 0:59:14.560 --> 0:59:17.480 I'm a parent myself, and no one's perfect is you know, 0:59:17.480 --> 0:59:20.120 you've got to practice what you preach. So if you 0:59:20.160 --> 0:59:22.200 want to have device free dinner, we ran a whole 0:59:22.280 --> 0:59:26.280 campaign a few years ago for two years where Will 0:59:26.320 --> 0:59:29.320 Ferrell was the star of some incredibly fun commercials. It 0:59:29.400 --> 0:59:31.160 was basically, put your phone away and pay attention to 0:59:31.200 --> 0:59:34.040 your family. And so a lot of the suggestions you're 0:59:34.080 --> 0:59:36.400 referring to are very practical and should be done, and 0:59:36.440 --> 0:59:38.800 it's not shouldn't be lost on you that common sense. 0:59:38.840 --> 0:59:40.960 As one hundred and fifty million regular users, that's an 0:59:40.960 --> 0:59:43.560 incredible number and it does mean that parents and young 0:59:43.600 --> 0:59:47.280 people are listening. But you're also right at that alone. 0:59:47.440 --> 0:59:50.040 First of all, that it's really hard because we live 0:59:50.200 --> 0:59:54.200 in this twenty four to seven addictive, compulsive digital world 0:59:54.440 --> 0:59:57.840 where your phone is always pinging you with alerts, et cetera. 0:59:58.120 --> 1:00:00.680 So you have to change habits, and habits change is hard. 1:00:01.000 --> 1:00:04.840 It's why you need regulation and legislation, and it's why 1:00:04.880 --> 1:00:08.320 you need holding the tech industry accountable and an ongoing 1:00:08.360 --> 1:00:11.680 public awareness effort, including conversations like when you and I 1:00:11.760 --> 1:00:14.760 are having this Saturday, which is this is a discussion 1:00:14.800 --> 1:00:17.560 that has to be happening every home, every school, and 1:00:17.640 --> 1:00:20.400 quite frankly, we need legislative solutions as well. It is 1:00:20.440 --> 1:00:23.600 a full court press in order to deal with some 1:00:23.640 --> 1:00:26.080 of the downsides of tech, because we all know that 1:00:26.080 --> 1:00:29.440 there are also benefits from technology and from social media 1:00:29.720 --> 1:00:32.240 and common senses is the name says that all. We're 1:00:32.320 --> 1:00:34.240 very fair in the way we look at this, but 1:00:34.280 --> 1:00:36.080 these issues are only going to get bigger by the 1:00:36.080 --> 1:00:38.840 way now with AI. So if you look at the 1:00:38.880 --> 1:00:41.520 advent of chat, GPT and bard and some of the 1:00:41.560 --> 1:00:45.080 other platforms that are now beginning to emerge, it's going 1:00:45.120 --> 1:00:49.040 to increase some of the impact of social media platforms. 1:00:49.080 --> 1:00:49.880 AI will and. 1:00:49.920 --> 1:00:50.680 Well, think about it. 1:00:50.920 --> 1:00:53.400 When your AI knows you so well and it feels 1:00:53.480 --> 1:00:56.000 like it's a friend that you can ask almost anything to, 1:00:56.520 --> 1:00:58.400 you're going to spend even more time with it, and 1:00:58.440 --> 1:01:00.600 you're going to want to spend more time. And by 1:01:00.640 --> 1:01:02.800 the way, this can all be more personalized for who 1:01:02.840 --> 1:01:04.920 you are and what you're into. I mean, we think 1:01:04.960 --> 1:01:08.360 TikTok serves up videos that we like. Imagine in this AI, 1:01:08.680 --> 1:01:10.720 you know hones in that's. 1:01:10.680 --> 1:01:12.760 Right, and you know rich what it will do, particularly 1:01:12.760 --> 1:01:15.320 with vulnerable kids. Look, forty percent of teenager who in 1:01:15.360 --> 1:01:18.800 the United States report that they feel depressed have felt 1:01:18.840 --> 1:01:22.160 depressed montret That's just a phenomenal number. Forty percent. I 1:01:22.200 --> 1:01:24.400 hope that's not true for your kids or my kids 1:01:24.480 --> 1:01:27.160 or folks in the audience, but that means nearly half 1:01:27.240 --> 1:01:29.960 of all children experience some form of depression. And that's 1:01:30.240 --> 1:01:32.840 that's not even including some of the more serious cases 1:01:32.840 --> 1:01:36.440 of self harmed, suicidal ideation, et cetera. So, look, this 1:01:36.760 --> 1:01:39.720 is a public health crisis, a mental health crisis, and 1:01:39.800 --> 1:01:43.200 so we have to take it very seriously, and we 1:01:43.280 --> 1:01:45.160 have to have an ongoing conversation. And by the way, 1:01:45.440 --> 1:01:47.320 you've got two kids, rich, you do have to have 1:01:47.720 --> 1:01:50.200 we do, We all do have to have these conversations 1:01:50.200 --> 1:01:52.960 with our kids and be honest and open and listen 1:01:52.960 --> 1:01:56.360 to what they're experiencing. Also, know that they love platforms 1:01:56.400 --> 1:02:01.360 like YouTube and TikTok and snapchats and scroll through Instagram 1:02:01.480 --> 1:02:03.800 endlessly looking at photos of other people thinking that they 1:02:03.840 --> 1:02:06.240 don't look as good or you know, they're not as 1:02:06.280 --> 1:02:08.800 pretty or as smart, et cetera. So this is a 1:02:08.880 --> 1:02:12.640 really complicated issue, but it's very important that the Surgeon 1:02:12.720 --> 1:02:15.440 General came out with this warning, and it's very important 1:02:15.440 --> 1:02:18.080 that each and every one of us uses common sense 1:02:18.560 --> 1:02:22.040 takes advantage of some of the practical recommendations, but ultimately 1:02:22.360 --> 1:02:24.720 we've got a whole the tech industry accountable, period. 1:02:25.000 --> 1:02:26.520 All right, Jim, we're going to leave it there, Jim 1:02:26.560 --> 1:02:31.720 Styre of common Sense Media. Commonsense dot org is the website. 1:02:32.000 --> 1:02:33.919 And we didn't even get into the fact that we're 1:02:33.920 --> 1:02:36.120 talking about teens here, but a lot of this stuff 1:02:36.120 --> 1:02:38.919 affects adults as well in a big way. So maybe 1:02:38.920 --> 1:02:40.680 we'll have to have you back on and talk about 1:02:40.720 --> 1:02:41.040 that hole. 1:02:41.240 --> 1:02:44.000 Yeah, next check me about adults. Rich, that'd be great, 1:02:44.040 --> 1:02:47.280 one hundred percent. All right, Jim, appreciate it. Jim Syre 1:02:47.440 --> 1:02:51.320 of Commonsense dot org. Look it up. 1:02:51.440 --> 1:02:54.360 It's a great resource, and we really really need to 1:02:54.400 --> 1:02:56.720 think about this stuff because it is having an impact 1:02:56.720 --> 1:02:59.600 on our families, our kids, and like I said, even 1:02:59.640 --> 1:03:03.000 adult It is a real thing. So just think think 1:03:03.040 --> 1:03:05.240 about even this weekend when you're hanging out with friends 1:03:05.280 --> 1:03:05.760 and family. 1:03:05.880 --> 1:03:06.920 Just put the phone away. 1:03:06.760 --> 1:03:09.040 For a little bit, all right, Rich DeMuro here Rich 1:03:09.080 --> 1:03:11.560 on Tech. More of your calls at triple eight Rich 1:03:11.680 --> 1:03:13.960 one oh one. That's eight eight eight seven four to 1:03:13.960 --> 1:03:14.880 two four. 1:03:14.920 --> 1:03:15.920 One zero one. 1:03:18.400 --> 1:03:22.360 Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here talking 1:03:22.440 --> 1:03:23.560 technology with you. 1:03:24.920 --> 1:03:25.640 What a great guest. 1:03:25.720 --> 1:03:27.960 We just had on to talk about the impact of 1:03:28.000 --> 1:03:31.280 social media on teens, and I mentioned it's not just teens. 1:03:31.280 --> 1:03:32.880 I mean it's adults too, Believe me. 1:03:33.520 --> 1:03:37.120 And look, I'm not sitting here saying that I'm better 1:03:37.760 --> 1:03:38.880 or you know, I. 1:03:38.880 --> 1:03:40.439 Know how to do all this stuff, because I don't. 1:03:40.480 --> 1:03:43.160 I think we are all in this together when it 1:03:43.200 --> 1:03:47.120 comes to the implications of this stuff. We just take 1:03:47.160 --> 1:03:50.000 for granted. We've got our phones. You download the main apps, 1:03:50.080 --> 1:03:53.920 which is you know, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and we're just 1:03:54.000 --> 1:03:59.600 humans these companies are they engineer these apps to make 1:03:59.680 --> 1:04:02.160 us want to use them. You would never make an 1:04:02.160 --> 1:04:04.200 app that people don't want to use. Why would you 1:04:04.240 --> 1:04:06.680 do that? You engineer it so that people use it. 1:04:06.880 --> 1:04:09.959 They call it engagement, they call it stickiness. They want 1:04:10.040 --> 1:04:12.720 you to open up that app as much as humanly possible, 1:04:13.120 --> 1:04:16.520 even though they sometimes say, you know, we're putting in 1:04:16.560 --> 1:04:20.320 this and that it's all kind of I mean, who 1:04:20.480 --> 1:04:22.600 really uses a lot of those. 1:04:23.120 --> 1:04:24.160 Features on their phone? 1:04:24.400 --> 1:04:25.760 Like I had the thing where it tells me on 1:04:25.840 --> 1:04:27.800 Instagram have you been on for an hour today, like 1:04:27.880 --> 1:04:30.600 time to you know, stop using this and you press 1:04:30.640 --> 1:04:32.360 okay and you forget about it and that's it. 1:04:32.560 --> 1:04:32.720 You know. 1:04:32.760 --> 1:04:35.040 TikTok has a thing where it tells teens that they, 1:04:35.600 --> 1:04:37.120 you know, have been on too long and you know, 1:04:37.160 --> 1:04:39.000 all you have to do is click okay and move 1:04:39.040 --> 1:04:41.320 on with your life. So it's one of these things 1:04:41.320 --> 1:04:44.040 where I don't have the answers. I don't think anyone does. 1:04:44.560 --> 1:04:47.040 And I understand that, you know, regulation and all this 1:04:47.080 --> 1:04:50.120 stuff is sometimes you know, it might just be what 1:04:50.160 --> 1:04:51.439 we need to get through. 1:04:51.480 --> 1:04:51.840 Some of this. 1:04:52.000 --> 1:04:55.200 I don't know, because certainly we are not equipped as 1:04:55.240 --> 1:04:58.240 humans to do it ourselves. We're up against lots of 1:04:58.320 --> 1:05:00.960 smart people that are programming these things to make us 1:05:01.040 --> 1:05:01.400 use them. 1:05:01.400 --> 1:05:02.000 And it's great. 1:05:02.160 --> 1:05:04.040 If you've ever been on vacation you're looking for a 1:05:04.080 --> 1:05:07.120 cool spot or a nice picture place or a good restaurant, 1:05:07.480 --> 1:05:10.080 all these things are incredibly useful. Or if you've connected 1:05:10.120 --> 1:05:12.600 with someone on Instagram that you used to go to 1:05:12.600 --> 1:05:14.640 school with, or you know, you get to watch their 1:05:14.720 --> 1:05:17.640 kids grow up, it's great. But there's also that that 1:05:17.720 --> 1:05:23.240 other side of it. Let's go to Jan Jan in Upland, California, 1:05:23.240 --> 1:05:24.360 you're on with Rich Jan. 1:05:24.520 --> 1:05:27.920 How you doing, Hey, Rich, I'm great. Is it okay 1:05:27.920 --> 1:05:28.240 to have. 1:05:28.280 --> 1:05:32.000 You on speaker as long as everything sounds okay? So far, 1:05:32.080 --> 1:05:32.520 so good? 1:05:33.160 --> 1:05:36.760 Yeah, great, that sounds wonderful. I like to have you 1:05:36.800 --> 1:05:41.080 on Speakret because my husband's here too, and he understands 1:05:41.840 --> 1:05:44.800 tech stuff just a bit better than I do. So 1:05:44.880 --> 1:05:48.280 I'm hoping that between us will get what you're saying. 1:05:48.480 --> 1:05:49.880 Okay, Well, what's going on? 1:05:50.560 --> 1:05:52.840 Well, it's great to hear you on KFI and your 1:05:52.840 --> 1:05:53.880 well spoken son. 1:05:54.320 --> 1:05:58.400 Oh, thank you, thank you. He's going to take over 1:05:58.440 --> 1:06:00.080 the show one day, hopefully. 1:06:00.600 --> 1:06:02.480 Now I'm just going to He's going to give you 1:06:02.480 --> 1:06:03.360 a run for your money. 1:06:03.400 --> 1:06:06.400 Man, I'm sure these kids are way ahead of where 1:06:06.440 --> 1:06:08.439 I was at their age. But all right, let's see 1:06:08.440 --> 1:06:09.720 what you got going on. What's happening? 1:06:10.040 --> 1:06:14.120 Yeah, you've got so. I just thought a Microsoft US 1:06:14.280 --> 1:06:19.760 prom To tablet. It's the first tablet I've had specifically 1:06:19.800 --> 1:06:25.040 for traveling, so I could download things onto it so 1:06:25.080 --> 1:06:27.240 that i'd have things to do on the plane when 1:06:27.240 --> 1:06:30.720 I didn't have Li Fi and such. So I'm having 1:06:30.800 --> 1:06:33.800 difficulty with it though, and it was pretty useless. On 1:06:33.840 --> 1:06:38.360 my last trip. I tried to download a few typical 1:06:38.640 --> 1:06:42.960 you know, brain games and things like that onto it 1:06:43.040 --> 1:06:48.200 before my travels, and everything loaded onto my cell phone instead, 1:06:48.240 --> 1:06:51.440 even though I was downloading it on my tablet. 1:06:51.720 --> 1:06:54.480 And the okay I know, okay, so you were downloading 1:06:54.680 --> 1:06:59.600 items from Google Play to your on your tablet basically, yes, exactly, Okay, 1:06:59.680 --> 1:07:04.360 Well here's what's happening. So that's okay. So what's happening 1:07:04.400 --> 1:07:06.200 is when you go to if let's say you want 1:07:06.200 --> 1:07:09.600 to download like, you know, candy Crush, right, and it 1:07:09.640 --> 1:07:12.920 brings you to the Google Play app. It says like 1:07:12.960 --> 1:07:17.200 apps on Google Play, so that when you press install, 1:07:17.720 --> 1:07:20.480 that is actually installing on your Do you have an 1:07:20.520 --> 1:07:24.200 Android phone? I'm guessing yes, okay, so that is actually 1:07:24.280 --> 1:07:27.960 installing on your Android phone. So that is the you know, 1:07:28.080 --> 1:07:32.480 Android lets you install remotely from a website. Now here's 1:07:32.800 --> 1:07:34.800 what I think you need to do on this device 1:07:35.120 --> 1:07:38.320 is that you need to go into the Windows Store 1:07:38.560 --> 1:07:41.560 to download what you want. So down at the bottom, 1:07:42.280 --> 1:07:45.640 type in store and that should bring you to the 1:07:45.680 --> 1:07:50.320 Windows you know, their version of the App Store, and 1:07:50.360 --> 1:07:53.760 that way you can go and find the apps you 1:07:53.800 --> 1:07:56.040 want there and that will install them on that tablet. 1:07:56.040 --> 1:07:57.440 Does that make sense. Can you find that? 1:07:58.560 --> 1:08:01.720 Yeah, we're up in port right now. 1:08:02.840 --> 1:08:05.120 And so if you if you type in store, that 1:08:05.280 --> 1:08:08.400 is you know, so basically you've got three things going 1:08:08.400 --> 1:08:12.600 on here. You've got Windows, You've got Android, and you've 1:08:12.640 --> 1:08:16.000 got iOS. All of them have their own stores for apps. 1:08:16.040 --> 1:08:18.080 And they call them stores because some apps, you know, 1:08:18.080 --> 1:08:20.479 even though they're free, they sell stuff. You know, some 1:08:20.560 --> 1:08:23.240 apps might be paid, some might be free. But that 1:08:23.400 --> 1:08:26.680 is how you get apps to that device. Now, this 1:08:26.840 --> 1:08:29.120 is a surface device, so it's going to run both 1:08:29.680 --> 1:08:32.400 you know, Windows apps, and it's going to run stuff 1:08:32.439 --> 1:08:36.200 from the Microsoft Store. And so that's where you need 1:08:36.200 --> 1:08:40.519 to be downloading these apps. And did you find it? Yeah, okay, 1:08:42.000 --> 1:08:44.080 there you go. So that's where you want to download them, 1:08:44.160 --> 1:08:46.559 and that's how you're going to get those apps onto 1:08:46.600 --> 1:08:47.000 that device. 1:08:47.040 --> 1:08:49.000 I know it must have been. You must have been like, wait, 1:08:49.040 --> 1:08:49.760 what is happening here? 1:08:49.800 --> 1:08:51.479 I'm pressing installed and all of a sudden, this thing's 1:08:51.479 --> 1:08:52.920 shown up on my phone. 1:08:53.280 --> 1:08:56.800 Yeah, I wasn't sure what happened. I got Kindle, I 1:08:56.880 --> 1:09:00.160 bought a book and I can't find the book anywhere. 1:09:00.520 --> 1:09:04.080 Well you go, now you've got rich on tech.

Sure, is that hurting 1:11:45.600 --> 1:11:49.720 my phone that I'm charging it and listening to iHeartRadio 1:11:49.840 --> 1:11:50.320 all night? 1:11:51.280 --> 1:11:54.640 I don't think so. I think, you know, maybe in 1:11:54.680 --> 1:11:57.320 the past it might be putting a little bit more. 1:11:57.400 --> 1:11:59.760 Are you Is it all night long for like eight hours? 1:11:59.800 --> 1:12:03.040 And oh yeah, Usually I plug it in when I 1:12:03.080 --> 1:12:05.639 go to sleep, charge it and if I can't get 1:12:05.800 --> 1:12:11.120 iHeartRadio on the internet, and we often have Internet problems 1:12:11.120 --> 1:12:11.639 off and on. 1:12:11.920 --> 1:12:14.120 Why are you having internet problems? Oh, I'm curious. 1:12:14.240 --> 1:12:19.839 Well, because it's a rural area with less than perfect 1:12:19.880 --> 1:12:23.160 service and it's getting better, okay, but it's not there yet. 1:12:23.280 --> 1:12:25.400 How long have you had the iPhone? 1:12:25.600 --> 1:12:30.360 I've had the iPhone about three years. It's a se twenty. 1:12:30.600 --> 1:12:32.920 And you've been doing this for a while with the phone? 1:12:33.200 --> 1:12:35.479 Oh yeah, okay, So I've been doing it whenever I 1:12:35.600 --> 1:12:38.719 either lose internet service or if I travel and don't 1:12:38.760 --> 1:12:41.719 have internet service. Here's we're in a motel somewhere. 1:12:41.880 --> 1:12:43.360 Here's what I want you to check. Are you on 1:12:43.400 --> 1:12:46.519 the phone right now, I am. Okay, So you're gonna 1:12:46.520 --> 1:12:48.600 have to wait till we get off the phone. But 1:12:49.120 --> 1:12:53.280 if you go into these settings, okay, you go into 1:12:53.320 --> 1:12:56.759 settings and then you click battery and then it says 1:12:56.800 --> 1:13:00.080 battery health and charging, and it will tell you the 1:13:00.160 --> 1:13:03.519 maximum capacity of your battery. Now, mine is at ninety 1:13:03.560 --> 1:13:05.680 six percent. I've had this phone since the day it 1:13:05.720 --> 1:13:08.040 came out. This is only a year old, so it's 1:13:08.080 --> 1:13:11.360 gone down about four percent in the maximum capacity of 1:13:11.400 --> 1:13:13.880 the battery. You can check in there and see what 1:13:13.920 --> 1:13:17.000 your battery's at, and you can see if it's you know, 1:13:17.640 --> 1:13:20.000 if it's at a good percentage, you know, ninety percent. 1:13:20.280 --> 1:13:23.040 You know, that's telling you. When this battery came from 1:13:23.040 --> 1:13:25.280 the factory, it was at one hundred percent capacity. Like, 1:13:25.320 --> 1:13:28.639 this battery is perfect. And as you use it, the battery, 1:13:28.680 --> 1:13:31.320 of course wears down a little bit. And some things 1:13:31.320 --> 1:13:33.280 will cause it to wear down more than others, like 1:13:33.320 --> 1:13:36.800 maybe using it in really hot temperature, maybe using like 1:13:36.960 --> 1:13:39.880 not a very good charging cable or something. You know, 1:13:39.920 --> 1:13:42.000 it just depends. But I will tell you I am 1:13:42.000 --> 1:13:45.439 a power power power user. I run my phone into 1:13:45.439 --> 1:13:48.160 the ground. I charge it as much as humanly possible. 1:13:48.520 --> 1:13:52.120 I charge it every night. It is always going and 1:13:52.280 --> 1:13:55.080 I've gone down four percent in about, you know, almost 1:13:55.120 --> 1:13:58.080 a year. So it just goes to show that, yes, 1:13:58.160 --> 1:14:01.160 the things you do on your phone absolutely have an 1:14:01.160 --> 1:14:03.679 impact on the battery health. But I think the fact 1:14:03.720 --> 1:14:05.920 that you can look in there and see kind of 1:14:05.960 --> 1:14:08.519 like what's happening with your battery, that can give you 1:14:08.520 --> 1:14:10.040 a better idea. So what I would do for the 1:14:10.120 --> 1:14:13.839 next six months write down the number that you're at today, 1:14:14.360 --> 1:14:16.439 and then in six months, check the number that you 1:14:16.520 --> 1:14:19.639 have there in the maximum capacity, and if it's going 1:14:19.720 --> 1:14:22.880 down by a lot, lot lot like ten percent twenty percent, 1:14:22.920 --> 1:14:25.320 which I don't think it will be, then you know, 1:14:25.400 --> 1:14:28.280 maybe you rethink what you're doing here, but I think 1:14:28.320 --> 1:14:30.599 that you're going to be just fine. I've used phones 1:14:30.640 --> 1:14:33.960 over the years, and realistically, you know, I think it 1:14:34.040 --> 1:14:37.160 more comes down to the way that you run the 1:14:37.200 --> 1:14:39.800 battery in the heat. That might have more of an 1:14:39.800 --> 1:14:43.040 impact on it than anything else. But I think that 1:14:43.160 --> 1:14:45.800 listening to the streaming what's happening is your phone is 1:14:45.800 --> 1:14:49.880 basically the battery is trickle charging while it's depleting a 1:14:49.880 --> 1:14:52.479 little bit, So it's just kind of always charging and 1:14:52.640 --> 1:14:54.760 battery tech has gotten a lot better where it's not 1:14:54.800 --> 1:14:57.639 like it used to be where it's super impacted by 1:14:57.720 --> 1:15:00.280 memory and all this stuff. So I think think you're 1:15:00.280 --> 1:15:04.280 doing okay, Wendy. Thanks for listening all day long. Appreciate it, 1:15:04.280 --> 1:15:07.360 and thanks for listening to me especially. And I'm glad 1:15:07.360 --> 1:15:10.920 that your kids know that you're keeping your phone bedside 1:15:10.960 --> 1:15:12.599 so that if you ever need them, you can get 1:15:12.600 --> 1:15:15.200 in touch with them easily. So thanks for calling today, Wendy. 1:15:15.200 --> 1:15:18.400 Appreciate it. All right, Parker, you're here. We're going to 1:15:18.479 --> 1:15:23.599 talk about Final Cut Pro on the iPad. So Final 1:15:23.600 --> 1:15:26.840 Cut Pro is a program that I use pretty much, 1:15:27.120 --> 1:15:29.639 I think, every day of my life now for fifteen years. 1:15:30.240 --> 1:15:33.680 I've used this since I started at CNET. I remember 1:15:33.920 --> 1:15:35.519 they said you got to learn how to use Final 1:15:35.560 --> 1:15:37.640 Cut and I said what They said, Yeah, you're going 1:15:37.680 --> 1:15:38.400 to be editing videos. 1:15:38.439 --> 1:15:41.000 I said, all right, So they taught me a little 1:15:41.000 --> 1:15:42.120 bit of how to use it. 1:15:41.920 --> 1:15:45.760 It was very basic, but I've learned over the years 1:15:45.800 --> 1:15:48.800 and this thing has become my everything. I use this 1:15:48.880 --> 1:15:51.920 program every day. It's why I typically use a Mac 1:15:51.920 --> 1:15:55.639 computer and it is my program of choice for editing 1:15:56.120 --> 1:15:59.600 on a physical computer. Now they just came out with 1:15:59.600 --> 1:16:02.160 Final Cut Pro for iPad. It is five dollars a 1:16:02.160 --> 1:16:04.120 month or fifty dollars for the year, which is a 1:16:04.160 --> 1:16:07.840 little bit controversial because not everyone likes to pay for 1:16:07.920 --> 1:16:10.439 something Like I paid for my Final Cut one time. 1:16:10.479 --> 1:16:12.479 It was three hundred dollars many many years ago and 1:16:12.520 --> 1:16:15.439 it still works now. Final Cut on the iPad is 1:16:15.479 --> 1:16:18.000 really cool for a couple of reasons. Number one, you 1:16:18.040 --> 1:16:20.200 can use a touch interface, so you can use just 1:16:20.240 --> 1:16:22.600 your fingers to do this, or you can use the 1:16:22.640 --> 1:16:26.479 Apple pencil, which which is really fun. It is, yeah, 1:16:26.520 --> 1:16:29.080 And the other cool thing is that you can write 1:16:29.200 --> 1:16:31.360 on the screen and make graphics. 1:16:31.520 --> 1:16:33.719 That is that's one of the best parts. I think, 1:16:33.840 --> 1:16:35.120 like it's basically. 1:16:34.840 --> 1:16:35.760 Kind of like animating. 1:16:35.760 --> 1:16:38.080 You can't really animate on there, but like if you're 1:16:38.120 --> 1:16:40.920 like I kind of want something to be like animating, 1:16:41.040 --> 1:16:42.280 then that's the way to go. 1:16:42.400 --> 1:16:44.680 And it's super easy because you're just writing. Okay, so 1:16:44.720 --> 1:16:47.680 you've been using this on the iPad pro. And the 1:16:47.720 --> 1:16:50.920 other caveat is that you have to have an iPad 1:16:50.960 --> 1:16:55.240 with an M one processor. This is the Apple's, you know, 1:16:55.280 --> 1:16:57.240 their own chip, and so they have the M one 1:16:57.280 --> 1:16:59.519 and the M two and there's some differences if you 1:16:59.560 --> 1:17:01.559 have them. There's some features you may not be able 1:17:01.600 --> 1:17:03.760 to use. If you have the M two, obviously you 1:17:03.760 --> 1:17:06.799 can use them all. So park what's your your impression 1:17:06.800 --> 1:17:08.719 of this? Because I think it's quite incredible. 1:17:09.880 --> 1:17:11.040 I think it's incredible too. 1:17:11.080 --> 1:17:14.160 I mean, like it's insane if you think about it, 1:17:14.240 --> 1:17:17.960 like an insane editing software on an iPad. 1:17:18.800 --> 1:17:19.759 That's pretty amazing. 1:17:20.560 --> 1:17:22.720 When I first saw my dad maybe editing on this, 1:17:23.240 --> 1:17:25.920 I was like, oh no, never, I mean maybe one 1:17:26.000 --> 1:17:28.640 day I'll learn this, Like it looks hard, maybe I 1:17:28.760 --> 1:17:31.840 take some classes or like literally I just spend hours 1:17:31.840 --> 1:17:34.880 in my dad working. But since it like I heard 1:17:34.960 --> 1:17:38.240 him talk about it actually on the radio about this 1:17:39.600 --> 1:17:40.880 that I tried it. 1:17:41.080 --> 1:17:41.960 Yeah, and I tried it. 1:17:42.040 --> 1:17:44.040 So what Parker will do is he will he will 1:17:44.080 --> 1:17:46.360 ask me when I come home from an event, He'll say, hey, Dad, 1:17:46.400 --> 1:17:49.439 can you air drop me the video files from that event? 1:17:49.479 --> 1:17:51.160 And I will air drop him and he will make 1:17:51.160 --> 1:17:53.360 his own little edit of that program. And you did 1:17:53.400 --> 1:17:56.840 this for the display thing that I went to, and 1:17:57.280 --> 1:17:59.320 I was very impressed with what you were able to do. 1:17:59.760 --> 1:18:02.400 See how easy was it to learn how to use this? 1:18:03.080 --> 1:18:05.160 I actually thought it wasn't super hard. 1:18:05.520 --> 1:18:07.799 Some of the things, though, I feel like are harder 1:18:07.800 --> 1:18:10.760 than others, which I think there's gonna have to be, 1:18:11.360 --> 1:18:15.120 Like maybe later on they'll be like videos of how 1:18:15.120 --> 1:18:17.599 to use it. Like right now it's not a lot 1:18:17.720 --> 1:18:20.639 because it's brand new, but I think it should be 1:18:20.760 --> 1:18:23.280 more noticeable for some things than others. 1:18:23.320 --> 1:18:25.559 Like some things you were able to pick up very easily. 1:18:25.880 --> 1:18:29.240 Yeah, like uh, one of them are just like drag 1:18:29.320 --> 1:18:33.840 and drop the uh the videos and uh stuff, and 1:18:34.320 --> 1:18:36.920 but some hard things were like split the clip. 1:18:36.640 --> 1:18:38.760 And all that stuff that I would say that's the 1:18:38.800 --> 1:18:41.600 trickiest because it's the trickiest. I would say splitting the 1:18:41.600 --> 1:18:44.280 clip is probably the most common way of editing on 1:18:44.360 --> 1:18:44.879 the desktop. 1:18:44.920 --> 1:18:46.880 You just you can use like the blade tool like 1:18:47.000 --> 1:18:47.719 b or whatever. 1:18:48.000 --> 1:18:51.519 Yeah, that's what I did actually because uh, i've the 1:18:51.560 --> 1:18:54.880 Apple keyboard, and I actually learned that if you press 1:18:54.920 --> 1:18:57.960 command be at once it ain't like while holding the clip, 1:18:58.120 --> 1:18:59.160 it will actually split it. 1:18:59.200 --> 1:19:00.000 And then that's how you do it. 1:19:00.080 --> 1:19:01.679 But I actually want to know how to do it 1:19:01.760 --> 1:19:02.919 without the keyboard. 1:19:03.240 --> 1:19:05.599 Some people don't know it's in the lower right hand corner. 1:19:05.640 --> 1:19:07.680 I discovered it. So when you tap a clip. It's 1:19:07.680 --> 1:19:08.720 in the lower right hand, but. 1:19:09.280 --> 1:19:11.360 You needble yes, and. 1:19:11.320 --> 1:19:12.240 I think they're going to do that. 1:19:12.280 --> 1:19:14.160 So I think they're going to figure out how to 1:19:14.200 --> 1:19:16.920 make that more more visible because it's one of the 1:19:16.920 --> 1:19:19.800 things that I kept cutting the entire clip, and so 1:19:19.840 --> 1:19:21.720 I just get rid of it. It felt like the 1:19:21.760 --> 1:19:25.000 way to do it. But overall, I will say it's 1:19:25.080 --> 1:19:28.479 it's really good. It's for out of the gate. I 1:19:28.520 --> 1:19:31.240 think for someone who is coming up in the industry, 1:19:31.360 --> 1:19:33.840 like a you know, like my kid here that is 1:19:33.880 --> 1:19:37.040 just getting started with editing. It has become now where 1:19:37.240 --> 1:19:42.080 the iPad finally is nearly a replacement for a desktop 1:19:42.120 --> 1:19:45.759 computer that is more versatile because you have the beauty 1:19:45.760 --> 1:19:48.160 of an iPad and everything that you could do on 1:19:48.200 --> 1:19:48.599 a computer. 1:19:48.640 --> 1:19:50.200 Basically, I would say, if you want to get rid 1:19:50.240 --> 1:19:55.120 of your laptop and uh get rid like yeah, get 1:19:55.200 --> 1:19:57.960 rid of your laptop, then I would say you'd have 1:19:58.000 --> 1:19:59.960 to probably go with the Apple keyboard with it because 1:20:00.080 --> 1:20:02.679 it's like a lot easier. But I think the Apple 1:20:02.720 --> 1:20:04.679 pencil still has most of the features. 1:20:04.760 --> 1:20:06.760 Yeah, the Apple pencil being able to pencil is. 1:20:06.800 --> 1:20:08.519 So I think it's worth it for sure. 1:20:08.640 --> 1:20:11.320 Yeah, So like you, so you'd say Apple pencil. So 1:20:11.320 --> 1:20:13.519 if you're doing final cut pro editing on the iPad, 1:20:13.800 --> 1:20:15.000 you've got to get the Apple pencil. 1:20:15.040 --> 1:20:17.840 And I agree, I don't think you you don't need to. 1:20:17.880 --> 1:20:18.760 It's not acquired. 1:20:18.960 --> 1:20:22.280 I would say it is worth it. It's worth the. 1:20:22.520 --> 1:20:24.519 Yeah, I tweeted this yesterday. 1:20:24.520 --> 1:20:26.599 I said I felt like Picasso when I was editing 1:20:26.680 --> 1:20:29.519 on this thing yesterday because it's the combination of just 1:20:29.600 --> 1:20:33.439 holding this flat device in your lap. You're editing, but 1:20:33.479 --> 1:20:35.960 you're using your hand on the screen to select stuff, 1:20:35.960 --> 1:20:38.599 and then I'm using the pencil on the other hand. 1:20:39.080 --> 1:20:42.519 It felt so easy and fluid and natural that I 1:20:42.920 --> 1:20:46.240 really think that Apple did a really incredible job of 1:20:46.400 --> 1:20:48.880 getting this into more hands. And I think more people 1:20:48.880 --> 1:20:51.120 are just going to start editing on the iPad and 1:20:51.160 --> 1:20:53.760 we're going to have the whole a whole new generation 1:20:54.080 --> 1:20:56.600 of Well, of course it's going to be like TikTokers 1:20:56.640 --> 1:21:00.719 and YouTubers, but maybe the next directors of like movies 1:21:00.760 --> 1:21:01.280 and stuff like that. 1:21:01.520 --> 1:21:02.360 Yeah, that'd be awesome. 1:21:02.400 --> 1:21:05.120 It's also just simple and easy to learn, so if 1:21:05.160 --> 1:21:07.960 you want to learn it, I would go on ahead 1:21:08.000 --> 1:21:08.599 and try. 1:21:08.760 --> 1:21:11.280 So all right, Well, thank you Parker for giving your 1:21:11.320 --> 1:21:14.000 your and Parker and I usually do these little edit 1:21:14.040 --> 1:21:16.400 offs where he'll edit the same thing that I edit, 1:21:16.439 --> 1:21:18.240 and then we compare notes and we'll see who I. 1:21:18.280 --> 1:21:19.920 Time did that in a car, like a really long 1:21:19.960 --> 1:21:20.519 car drive. 1:21:20.800 --> 1:21:21.920 We did that for fun. 1:21:22.840 --> 1:21:26.479 Yeah, yeah, it's fun.

Coming up, we're 1:21:34.840 --> 1:21:36.400 going to talk I've got so many things talk about. 1:21:36.400 --> 1:21:39.600 I want to talk about this Peloton price increase, but 1:21:39.640 --> 1:21:41.280 they put a good spin on it, so they're making 1:21:41.320 --> 1:21:44.160 you feel like you're getting more. I've got a website 1:21:44.160 --> 1:21:46.400 that you can check if you're getting scammed. We're going 1:21:46.439 --> 1:21:48.720 to talk about Max, the new streaming service, and I've 1:21:48.720 --> 1:21:51.679 got a guest and plus your calls. It's all happening 1:21:51.680 --> 1:21:55.520 here rich On Tech, Triple eight, rich one on one. 1:21:57.280 --> 1:21:59.800 Welcome back to rich On Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging 1:21:59.840 --> 1:22:03.559 out with you talking technology. Did you know that you 1:22:03.560 --> 1:22:05.960 can get this show as a podcast. Just go to 1:22:06.080 --> 1:22:12.200 rich on Tech dot tv, click the podcast icon and 1:22:12.240 --> 1:22:14.400 there's show notes to everything I mentioned. So if you 1:22:14.439 --> 1:22:17.040 want show notes, you can see what I talk about 1:22:17.040 --> 1:22:19.400 here and on that website you can also watch my 1:22:19.439 --> 1:22:21.640 TV segments. You know, I am the tech reporter for 1:22:21.720 --> 1:22:24.240 KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. I cover a whole 1:22:24.280 --> 1:22:27.400 bunch of topics every week and usually it's a lot 1:22:27.400 --> 1:22:29.679 of fun. So go to Rich on tech dot tv 1:22:29.880 --> 1:22:33.080 and look for the as seen on TV. All Right, 1:22:33.080 --> 1:22:34.640 a couple of things I want to get through. So 1:22:34.880 --> 1:22:37.160 first off, let's see what do we want to start 1:22:37.160 --> 1:22:40.800 with here. Let's do Max because this is an easy one. 1:22:40.880 --> 1:22:45.640 So HBO Max became Max and it now is the 1:22:45.640 --> 1:22:48.360 home of all kinds of stuff. So they launched this 1:22:48.400 --> 1:22:51.599 week thirty five thousand hours of content, more than twice 1:22:51.680 --> 1:22:54.400 that of HBO Max for the same price. Okay, all 1:22:54.439 --> 1:22:56.599 these companies like to put a little spin on things. 1:22:56.880 --> 1:22:59.040 They say it's the same price, but if you want 1:22:59.479 --> 1:23:01.880 the same features, you have to pay a little bit more. 1:23:01.880 --> 1:23:04.559 I'll explain that in a second. So what do you 1:23:04.560 --> 1:23:08.960 get with Max? You get HBO, you get Max Originals, 1:23:08.960 --> 1:23:11.160 which is all their new stuff. Then you get Warner 1:23:11.160 --> 1:23:17.479 Brothers Films, DC Universe, Harry Potter, HGTV, Food Network, Discovery Channel, 1:23:17.520 --> 1:23:21.640 TLC ID and more because Warner Brothers, I don't know 1:23:21.680 --> 1:23:24.200 if they merged or bought Discovery, whatever it is. It's 1:23:24.280 --> 1:23:27.360 very complicated, but it's all now like one company. So 1:23:27.439 --> 1:23:30.639 Warner Brothers, Discovery, HBO Max all the same stuff. 1:23:31.040 --> 1:23:32.360 And the new app is called Max. 1:23:32.479 --> 1:23:35.799 If you have access to HBO Max, you have access 1:23:35.840 --> 1:23:40.320 to Max. So go on your device, whether it's Apple, TV, fireTV, Roku, 1:23:41.000 --> 1:23:44.479 iPhone and download the Max app. You can log in 1:23:44.680 --> 1:23:47.479 with your HBO Max credentials. I know this all sounds 1:23:47.720 --> 1:23:51.679 so wild, but this is what it is. There's also 1:23:51.760 --> 1:23:54.120 better kids stuff on here, so it has like a 1:23:54.200 --> 1:23:58.760 default kids profile, and there's more four K stuff so 1:23:58.880 --> 1:24:00.400 and this is where it gets a little t So 1:24:00.400 --> 1:24:03.120 there's gonna be a lot more four K content and 1:24:03.160 --> 1:24:06.559 there's gonna be an average of forty new titles every month, 1:24:06.600 --> 1:24:08.040 which is wild. 1:24:08.200 --> 1:24:09.200 Now here's the pricing. 1:24:09.680 --> 1:24:11.960 Max with ADS is nine ninety nine a month or 1:24:11.960 --> 1:24:14.559 one hundred bucks a year, and that will give you 1:24:14.600 --> 1:24:17.080 no offline downloads, so if you travel, that's a no go. 1:24:18.000 --> 1:24:22.599 Mad Ax Max AD free is sixteen dollars a month 1:24:22.680 --> 1:24:24.840 or one hundred and fifty dollars a year. That will 1:24:24.840 --> 1:24:30.360 give you thirty offline downloads and HD quality now if 1:24:30.400 --> 1:24:32.320 you want. And this is where it gets where they said, oh, 1:24:32.360 --> 1:24:34.599 we're giving you, you know, the same for the same price. 1:24:35.040 --> 1:24:35.559 Not really. 1:24:36.280 --> 1:24:40.639 So MAX Ultimate AD Free is twenty dollars a month 1:24:40.720 --> 1:24:42.519 or two hundred dollars a year, and that will give 1:24:42.520 --> 1:24:48.160 you four K resolution, one hundred download downloads, offline downloads, 1:24:48.160 --> 1:24:51.439 and Dolby at moosts. So basically, if you are paying 1:24:51.479 --> 1:24:54.559 sixteen dollars a month before and you want four K 1:24:54.720 --> 1:24:56.519 in the future, you're gonna have to pay twenty dollars 1:24:56.560 --> 1:25:01.439 because existing HBO Max subscribers will have access to MAX 1:25:01.479 --> 1:25:06.360 at the same price, but only for about well same 1:25:06.439 --> 1:25:08.599 features for six months. So if you have four K 1:25:08.720 --> 1:25:10.760 right now, like I do on my plan, I'm only 1:25:10.800 --> 1:25:12.400 going to get to keep that for six more months, 1:25:12.400 --> 1:25:14.760 so well, I say, at least six months. So they 1:25:14.800 --> 1:25:16.320 haven't really said how they're going to change, But the 1:25:16.320 --> 1:25:18.439 bottom line is we know how these tech companies do it. 1:25:18.760 --> 1:25:21.000 They launch something and then when people forget about it, 1:25:21.040 --> 1:25:23.680 they slowly change things and of course make it a 1:25:23.720 --> 1:25:26.559 little bit more expensive. So that's that speaking a more 1:25:26.560 --> 1:25:32.879 expensive peloton. Peloton put a nice spin on their increase 1:25:32.880 --> 1:25:37.599 of prices. So they've relaunched their app with a free level. Okay, 1:25:37.600 --> 1:25:40.519 that's great, So you can take free classes on their app. 1:25:40.560 --> 1:25:43.080 It's limited, but it's free and that's nice, and that's 1:25:43.120 --> 1:25:44.960 the headline that they got a lot of people to 1:25:45.640 --> 1:25:48.120 talk about. And it's great, you know, but there's a 1:25:48.160 --> 1:25:51.000 lot of free fitness options out there, and I think 1:25:51.000 --> 1:25:53.240 Peloton has always sort of been linked to the device 1:25:53.520 --> 1:25:56.320 or like myself, I use a third party bike, but 1:25:56.360 --> 1:25:59.040 I use the Peloton app. So for people like me, 1:25:59.560 --> 1:26:02.320 the price is actually doubling. So it used to be 1:26:02.360 --> 1:26:04.040 twelve ninety nine a month, now it's going to be 1:26:04.040 --> 1:26:07.240 twenty four dollars a month because the twelve ninety nine 1:26:07.320 --> 1:26:11.439 no longer includes unlimited hardware based classes. 1:26:11.439 --> 1:26:12.120 What does that mean? 1:26:12.800 --> 1:26:16.120 The cycling classes, the treadmill classes, the rowing classes, you 1:26:16.160 --> 1:26:18.320 only get three of those now used to be unlimited 1:26:18.320 --> 1:26:21.280 for twelve ninety nine. Now you only get three a month. 1:26:21.840 --> 1:26:23.760 And they know that that's their bread and butter, even 1:26:23.800 --> 1:26:27.080 though in this entire release they talk about how you know, 1:26:27.120 --> 1:26:29.040 these are the most popular things that people do. 1:26:29.840 --> 1:26:30.280 I don't know. 1:26:31.120 --> 1:26:33.800 So if you have the Peloton app, if you have 1:26:33.840 --> 1:26:36.200 a Peloton bike, nothing's really changing. Like, if you pay 1:26:36.200 --> 1:26:38.000 that forty five dollars a month or whatever it is, 1:26:38.040 --> 1:26:40.800 you're fine. But if you're using the app just for 1:26:40.840 --> 1:26:43.040 the classes and you use like a treadmill or a 1:26:43.080 --> 1:26:46.559 different bike, you're gonna have to pay twenty four dollars 1:26:46.600 --> 1:26:49.280 a month if you want to continue with unlimited classes. 1:26:49.920 --> 1:26:52.360 This goes into effect on Tuesday, December fifth, so you 1:26:52.439 --> 1:26:55.920 have some time. But look, I get it. It's it's 1:26:55.960 --> 1:26:58.080 twenty four bucks a month for all these classes, and 1:26:58.160 --> 1:27:02.040 Peloton has very very good classes. But still you saw 1:27:02.080 --> 1:27:04.320 the spin and you know, they said, hey, we got 1:27:04.320 --> 1:27:06.479 a free tier, but they kind of left out the 1:27:06.520 --> 1:27:08.519 fact that their best customers like myself are now going 1:27:08.560 --> 1:27:11.200 to be paying double if they want to continue with 1:27:11.240 --> 1:27:11.640 what they have. 1:27:13.120 --> 1:27:15.639 So there you go all these companies. 1:27:15.680 --> 1:27:18.559 I mean, the amount of price increases we have seen 1:27:19.080 --> 1:27:22.439 on these streaming apps has just been incredible. I think 1:27:22.439 --> 1:27:25.720 that every single streaming app in the past year and 1:27:25.720 --> 1:27:28.840 a half has gotten a price increase or some sort 1:27:28.920 --> 1:27:31.200 of change where you have to make a decision do 1:27:31.240 --> 1:27:33.559 I want to continue with this price or do I 1:27:33.600 --> 1:27:35.479 want to get the feature as I was getting before 1:27:35.640 --> 1:27:37.080 and pay a little bit of a higher price. 1:27:37.760 --> 1:27:38.080 All right. 1:27:38.120 --> 1:27:41.960 Coming up next, we've got John Faulkner of Clean Fleet Report. 1:27:42.360 --> 1:27:44.240 He's going to join me to talk about the vin 1:27:44.400 --> 1:27:46.240 Fast EV and we're going to get his take on 1:27:46.280 --> 1:27:50.160 the whole new Ford and Tesla deal.

And also so we've got 1:28:12.320 --> 1:28:14.519 those cars now on the roads, and we've also got 1:28:14.520 --> 1:28:19.280 this deal this week with Ford and Tesla, two unlikely 1:28:19.439 --> 1:28:23.679 characters coming together. So starting early next year, Ford EV 1:28:23.800 --> 1:28:26.599 customers will have access to more than twelve thousand Tesla 1:28:26.680 --> 1:28:29.080 superchargers in the US and Canada. 1:28:29.120 --> 1:28:32.840 This is a huge, huge deal. So to talk about this. 1:28:32.880 --> 1:28:36.040 News and more, make sure I get the right button here, 1:28:36.080 --> 1:28:40.920 we've got John Faulkner from Clean Fleet Report. John, thanks 1:28:41.000 --> 1:28:44.040 for being on the show again. Welcome, Hello, Hello, Rich, 1:28:44.720 --> 1:28:46.720 with you you too. All right, let's start you want 1:28:46.760 --> 1:28:47.680 to where do you want to start? You want to 1:28:47.680 --> 1:28:49.360 start with your review of the vin Fast. 1:28:49.200 --> 1:28:51.280 Or what Yeah, let's get that one out of the 1:28:51.320 --> 1:28:52.719 way out of the way. 1:28:52.960 --> 1:28:56.000 Oh that doesn't that doesn't sound promising. So let me 1:28:56.080 --> 1:28:58.080 just set this up. So we were at the my 1:28:58.160 --> 1:29:01.080 son is here with us. Remember we my son was 1:29:01.120 --> 1:29:03.519 excited about the vin Fast. We saw it at the 1:29:03.600 --> 1:29:05.799 mall in Santa Monica, right huh. 1:29:05.800 --> 1:29:08.599 And I mean the design looked good, but I mean 1:29:08.880 --> 1:29:10.240 it's hard to get a car out there. 1:29:10.439 --> 1:29:12.160 I mean it's hard. 1:29:12.240 --> 1:29:15.479 So this is a Vietnamese company. Tell me about the 1:29:15.520 --> 1:29:17.599 vin Fast, John Okay. 1:29:19.439 --> 1:29:23.519 Vin Fast was formed only in twenty seventeen by its 1:29:23.520 --> 1:29:28.519 parent company, vin Group, which is Vietnam's largest company. Twenty nineteen, 1:29:28.560 --> 1:29:31.759 they started with gasoline powered cars in their own country. 1:29:32.400 --> 1:29:35.679 Twenty twenty one, they introduced an electric bus. In twenty 1:29:35.720 --> 1:29:38.880 twenty one, they had three electric vehicles that they introduced 1:29:38.880 --> 1:29:43.240 but didn't release. They just announced them then at CES 1:29:43.320 --> 1:29:46.840 in twenty twenty two. Vin Fast was there. In the 1:29:46.920 --> 1:29:50.200 fall of twenty twenty two, their first models were shipped 1:29:50.240 --> 1:29:54.320 to America and opened their retail stores and mall like 1:29:54.400 --> 1:29:56.840 you experienced. They have twenty eight United States and ten 1:29:56.920 --> 1:29:59.600 in Canada, and all the ones the United States are 1:29:59.640 --> 1:30:00.479 in tel Alifornia. 1:30:00.960 --> 1:30:01.160 Oh. 1:30:01.479 --> 1:30:04.559 Then, and then in twenty twenty two, they signed an 1:30:04.600 --> 1:30:07.880 agreement to open a manufacturing plant in North Carolina, with 1:30:08.000 --> 1:30:10.759 production to begin with the capacity of one hundred fifty thousand 1:30:10.800 --> 1:30:14.519 vehicles in twenty twenty five. And then they delivered their 1:30:14.560 --> 1:30:19.479 first cars for people to drive home in early this year. 1:30:20.120 --> 1:30:24.280 So what you can see is going from never having 1:30:24.280 --> 1:30:27.840 built an automobile of any type in twenty seventeen and 1:30:27.920 --> 1:30:31.720 in twenty twenty three, this is this is unheard of. 1:30:32.080 --> 1:30:36.280 Oh wait, this company, this Vin Group, they weren't oh wow, okay, 1:30:36.320 --> 1:30:40.360 focuses on real estate, retail and services and healthcare. Right, 1:30:40.439 --> 1:30:42.840 oh wow, So they really shifted. Okay, so they saw 1:30:42.880 --> 1:30:44.519 some opportunity. Here's what I'm thinking. 1:30:45.320 --> 1:30:49.000 Yeah, and so let me go ahead and just tell 1:30:49.040 --> 1:30:51.880 the one what we did. In early May, then Fast 1:30:51.920 --> 1:30:54.200 tilled their first ever drive opportunity. 1:30:53.640 --> 1:30:54.840 For the MOTED media. 1:30:55.920 --> 1:30:59.400 After a product briefing by Kievan Fast staff, which included 1:30:59.439 --> 1:31:02.160 their CEO. We were turned loose and we drove to 1:31:02.160 --> 1:31:05.240 ignore the San Diego County. So the vehicles that we 1:31:05.240 --> 1:31:09.679 were driving were the were the then Fast VF eight 1:31:10.320 --> 1:31:13.759 City and this is their this is their lowest range 1:31:14.320 --> 1:31:18.880 mid size suv. And so I had a driving partner 1:31:18.880 --> 1:31:24.840 with me, and we took off and we we immediately 1:31:24.920 --> 1:31:27.679 noticed that there were things about the vehicle that were 1:31:28.640 --> 1:31:33.320 not up to par or equal with other evs that 1:31:33.360 --> 1:31:39.680 we have driven by other brands. And and so we 1:31:39.760 --> 1:31:42.880 got back after our drive, we sat down with the 1:31:43.080 --> 1:31:46.479 DEAT executives and we told them the things that we noticed. 1:31:46.920 --> 1:31:48.959 And I don't think anything we told them was surprising. 1:31:49.200 --> 1:31:57.160 They'd probably known this already. And and so the the 1:31:57.160 --> 1:32:01.000 the bottom line for this thing is that in my opinion, 1:32:01.600 --> 1:32:04.880 that they are rushing into the north North American market 1:32:06.120 --> 1:32:11.280 and if the v fate that we drove the media, 1:32:11.439 --> 1:32:14.240 just not myself or my partner, but all the journalists 1:32:14.280 --> 1:32:18.400 there that we drove is what they're selling to people. 1:32:20.360 --> 1:32:22.000 People are not going to be buying it. And the 1:32:22.640 --> 1:32:28.560 reason is pretty understandable. They're only launching this vehicle in California, 1:32:28.880 --> 1:32:31.640 and they say they want to be here because the 1:32:31.720 --> 1:32:34.160 charging system is the most robust in the whole country, 1:32:34.439 --> 1:32:38.320 and people understand electric vehicles well, they do, but that 1:32:38.360 --> 1:32:43.040 cuts both ways. Californians are EV savvy and they are 1:32:43.040 --> 1:32:46.960 going to do many, many hours of research online before 1:32:47.000 --> 1:32:49.640 and do wort of mouth before they will actually go 1:32:49.640 --> 1:32:54.320 out and buy an EV and once they test drive 1:32:54.479 --> 1:32:57.280 any of the more established evs that compete against the 1:32:57.400 --> 1:33:01.599 v fate, they will they will probably not be buying it, 1:33:01.640 --> 1:33:04.639 don't They're going to wait on that vehicle. And there 1:33:04.680 --> 1:33:09.559 are and there are some challenges them. It has a 1:33:09.640 --> 1:33:13.240 relatively low driving range two hundred and seven. 1:33:13.040 --> 1:33:15.120 Miles maximum oh wow. Yeah. 1:33:15.200 --> 1:33:21.400 Yeah, And the pricing is including the twelve hundred dollars 1:33:21.439 --> 1:33:26.040 delivery fee. The base one is fifty thy two hundred 1:33:26.560 --> 1:33:29.559 and the plus model of fifty seven to two hundred. 1:33:30.720 --> 1:33:32.800 The problem with that is that they don't qualify for 1:33:32.840 --> 1:33:36.880 any federal or California JAST rebates of credits. So therefore 1:33:37.320 --> 1:33:40.120 they are they're going against they're going against cars that 1:33:40.160 --> 1:33:45.120 are getting one hundred miles or more range they are 1:33:45.120 --> 1:33:49.400 getting they're getting vehicles that are well established. Yeah, and 1:33:50.400 --> 1:33:56.280 so they're offering the most robust warranty ten years, one 1:33:56.360 --> 1:34:00.160 hundred and ten thousand miles. The question, though, is, as 1:34:00.240 --> 1:34:04.479 a new company from a country that has no history 1:34:04.720 --> 1:34:08.200 of building automobiles, will they be around in ten years? 1:34:08.439 --> 1:34:08.519 Right? 1:34:08.600 --> 1:34:10.720 So will they be there to support it? 1:34:11.120 --> 1:34:11.400 Yeah? 1:34:11.439 --> 1:34:11.960 Exactly. 1:34:12.520 --> 1:34:14.640 It sounds like it sounds like this is one of 1:34:14.680 --> 1:34:17.640 the let's wait and see. And here's what's happened in 1:34:17.640 --> 1:34:19.960 the EV world. And you know this is that it 1:34:20.040 --> 1:34:22.360 started out, you know, you had Tesla, they kind of 1:34:22.360 --> 1:34:24.720 set the standard, and then now we've seen in the 1:34:24.720 --> 1:34:27.880 past couple of years so many great options and they 1:34:27.960 --> 1:34:30.920 just continue to get better. So it is it continues 1:34:30.960 --> 1:34:35.360 to get more and more competitive and tougher to really, 1:34:35.880 --> 1:34:38.519 like you're saying, cut corners here and deliver a product 1:34:38.520 --> 1:34:40.840 that is like, Okay, it's got two hundred miles range, 1:34:40.840 --> 1:34:43.400 which is fine if you're just commuting, big deal, but 1:34:43.560 --> 1:34:45.720 you know, the price is a little bit high, the 1:34:45.760 --> 1:34:48.800 features might not be up to speed. So I think 1:34:48.800 --> 1:34:50.519 when it comes to vin Fast, from what I'm hearing 1:34:50.520 --> 1:34:52.920 from you is we kind of wait and see on 1:34:52.920 --> 1:34:53.280 that one. 1:34:54.160 --> 1:34:57.479 Yeah, and I don't want people to not take a 1:34:57.520 --> 1:34:59.080 test drive in it. I want them to take a 1:34:59.120 --> 1:35:01.920 test drive. But these are going to be people that 1:35:02.000 --> 1:35:06.720 are probably already driven the leaders that compete against this. 1:35:07.200 --> 1:35:10.679 So the model why all three from the Hyundai group, 1:35:11.439 --> 1:35:14.920 the Ford, Moche, you just all these vehicles, is what's 1:35:14.920 --> 1:35:17.160 going to sell against this on the whole BMW, the 1:35:17.200 --> 1:35:19.400 Audis and they're gonna they're going to look at this 1:35:19.520 --> 1:35:22.880 and say, you know something, I don't know anything about 1:35:22.880 --> 1:35:27.280 this company. I don't you know, they have no warranty industry, 1:35:27.280 --> 1:35:30.760 they have no reliability history. Maybe I'll wait until the 1:35:30.800 --> 1:35:34.599 next version comes. Yeah, but yeah, okay. 1:35:34.280 --> 1:35:35.599 Okay, so we got we got that the way. 1:35:35.640 --> 1:35:36.920 We only have a couple minutes here, So I want 1:35:36.920 --> 1:35:38.639 to I want to get into this news with Ford 1:35:38.680 --> 1:35:42.000 and Tesla, because this is pretty wild. Ford said they 1:35:42.040 --> 1:35:47.040 reached a deal with Tesla to basically allow their customers 1:35:47.080 --> 1:35:51.080 to access the superchargers starting in spring twenty twenty four, 1:35:51.640 --> 1:35:54.680 and they are going to I guess give adapters to 1:35:54.960 --> 1:35:57.760 users of the F one fifty, the Mustang Mochi, the 1:35:57.800 --> 1:35:58.479 E Transit. 1:35:58.840 --> 1:36:01.479 But then later in twenty twenty five, they're going to. 1:36:01.479 --> 1:36:05.519 Equip their evs with the port that I guess Tesla 1:36:05.600 --> 1:36:09.639 superchargers just work with. So this is a pretty big 1:36:09.680 --> 1:36:12.840 step and I think it has very broad implications for 1:36:12.960 --> 1:36:17.719 the EV industry, Like basically we're establishing Tesla supercharging network 1:36:17.800 --> 1:36:20.720 is sort of the kind of the almost like the 1:36:20.800 --> 1:36:23.479 standard now and there's some pros and cons of that. 1:36:23.600 --> 1:36:24.800 So give me your thoughts on this. 1:36:25.520 --> 1:36:28.400 Well, on Thursday of this week, when this news broke. 1:36:29.360 --> 1:36:31.800 It was you're right, you took my you took my 1:36:31.880 --> 1:36:34.960 words right on the mouth. This is huge. This is 1:36:35.040 --> 1:36:39.559 this is the This is not only the accepting of Tesla, 1:36:39.640 --> 1:36:42.400 which when they came out to when they first announced 1:36:42.640 --> 1:36:44.800 many many years ago, you know, well less than a 1:36:44.880 --> 1:36:47.800 decade ago, that they were coming out with vehicles. All 1:36:47.840 --> 1:36:50.680 the grandiose plans and all the all the predictions and 1:36:50.720 --> 1:36:53.400 all the all the vehicles are going to have they 1:36:53.400 --> 1:36:57.160 didn't happen, so people didn't take them seriously. Well, now 1:36:58.000 --> 1:37:01.400 Tesla has taken extremely seriously with them with the Model 1:37:01.560 --> 1:37:06.360 Y being the most successful, the highest selling vehicle in 1:37:06.400 --> 1:37:12.000 the world in this category. I'm talking about any any vehicle, truck, car, anything, 1:37:12.240 --> 1:37:15.320 it's the number one and in the first quarter of 1:37:15.360 --> 1:37:19.280 this year, so they it's and it's just amazing. So 1:37:19.960 --> 1:37:21.960 what this is going to do for Ford because Ford 1:37:22.080 --> 1:37:27.000 is on a fast track just like our General Motors, Atlantis, ALII, Volkswagen, 1:37:27.080 --> 1:37:29.800 the Hundai Group, all of them, they're on this track 1:37:29.880 --> 1:37:33.400 that they're they're just going to be releasing vehicle evs 1:37:33.439 --> 1:37:36.120 like you just can't believe. And of course with the 1:37:36.520 --> 1:37:40.120 with the twenty thirty five mandate, coming up in California, 1:37:40.600 --> 1:37:43.479 that no new cars could be sold that aren't that 1:37:43.560 --> 1:37:47.800 aren't zero mission vehicles. You know, that's that's twelve years 1:37:47.800 --> 1:37:50.280 from now, eleven years from now. I mean, these companies, 1:37:50.439 --> 1:37:52.400 they they got to get their act together. And what 1:37:52.439 --> 1:37:56.679 Ford realized was, Hey, we're going to get in bed 1:37:56.720 --> 1:38:00.759 with these guys. Ford currently has something called blue Oval. 1:38:01.040 --> 1:38:02.280 This this is gonna sell. 1:38:02.400 --> 1:38:04.439 This is going to sell a lot of cars, and 1:38:04.479 --> 1:38:07.200 it's it's and it puts pressure on the other manufacturers 1:38:07.240 --> 1:38:09.720 to do the same thing, which I think, if you, 1:38:09.720 --> 1:38:11.720 you know, depending on how you look at it, is 1:38:11.760 --> 1:38:14.280 a little scary because now we're letting one company kind of, 1:38:15.280 --> 1:38:18.559 you know, rule this entire world of charging for evs, 1:38:18.600 --> 1:38:21.160 and like you just said, the market continues to grow 1:38:21.200 --> 1:38:23.200 for these things, and so I think that there's some 1:38:23.200 --> 1:38:24.559 some big implications here. 1:38:25.240 --> 1:38:25.439 John. 1:38:25.439 --> 1:38:28.479 We got to end it there, because we've talked so much. 1:38:29.720 --> 1:38:31.960 Tell folks how they can read all the stuff that 1:38:31.960 --> 1:38:34.360 you do, all these great road tests. 1:38:34.680 --> 1:38:39.759 Yeah. Our our website is clean fleet report dot com. 1:38:40.280 --> 1:38:42.320 And then when you get there, you can either read 1:38:42.360 --> 1:38:44.000 the featured stories on the top, or you can the 1:38:44.000 --> 1:38:46.920 search bar and type in any any mucle you want 1:38:47.000 --> 1:38:51.439 and you can find a review and yeah, so it 1:38:51.560 --> 1:38:54.280 is you and I've been on these programs together and 1:38:54.320 --> 1:38:57.360 it's uh, it's this is the most exciting time the 1:38:57.400 --> 1:38:59.960 automotive industry never been anything like. 1:39:00.360 --> 1:39:01.120 It's so great. 1:39:01.240 --> 1:39:04.920 And I feel like, I mean for myself, like looking 1:39:04.960 --> 1:39:08.200 at forward now, you know, because of this, I feel 1:39:08.240 --> 1:39:10.240 like I would give them a look for this car 1:39:10.280 --> 1:39:13.120 and other cars that are going with this platform because 1:39:13.479 --> 1:39:16.000 the ability to drive anywhere in charge is what the 1:39:16.040 --> 1:39:19.519 supercharger network brings to the table. But it's also scary because, 1:39:19.560 --> 1:39:21.479 like I said, you know, when when companies get too 1:39:21.520 --> 1:39:24.080 much power, sometimes the prices, you know, they follow. So 1:39:24.439 --> 1:39:26.120 all right, we're gonna leave it there, John, thanks so 1:39:26.200 --> 1:39:27.040 much for joining me today. 1:39:27.040 --> 1:39:30.280 I appreciate it.

Before I get to the feedback, I've got 1:40:01.520 --> 1:40:03.880 ton this week, I want to just tell you about 1:40:03.880 --> 1:40:06.080 this Better Business Bureau website that I did a story 1:40:06.120 --> 1:40:09.960 on and it's very, very helpful. It's called the Scam 1:40:10.120 --> 1:40:14.400 Tracker BBB dot org slash scam Tracker, and I will 1:40:14.400 --> 1:40:16.240 put this up on my website rich on tech dot 1:40:16.280 --> 1:40:19.639 tv in the show notes. But if you think you're 1:40:19.640 --> 1:40:22.200 getting scammed, or if a family member is asking you 1:40:22.240 --> 1:40:25.040 about a scam, go to this website and just type 1:40:25.040 --> 1:40:28.080 in a keyword about what's happening to you, and I 1:40:28.120 --> 1:40:30.320 guarantee you you will find some sort of person that 1:40:30.360 --> 1:40:33.640 has reported this somewhere in the US. We talked to 1:40:33.680 --> 1:40:36.840 a woman who was trying to adopt a kitten and 1:40:36.880 --> 1:40:39.400 she ended up getting scammed out of about fifteen hundred dollars. 1:40:39.920 --> 1:40:42.000 And if she literally would have typed in the word 1:40:42.120 --> 1:40:45.840 kitten into this website, she would have read accounts from 1:40:45.880 --> 1:40:48.600 all over the US about the same exact scam that 1:40:48.640 --> 1:40:51.800 got her. And basically I kept promising her the cat 1:40:51.960 --> 1:40:54.519 and they just kept asking for more money, and it 1:40:54.560 --> 1:40:55.120 turned out to be. 1:40:55.160 --> 1:40:55.840 She didn't adopt. 1:40:55.920 --> 1:40:57.519 She was trying to go through like a breeder, which 1:40:57.560 --> 1:41:01.200 is a whole other can of worms.

And I tried this 1:42:41.360 --> 1:42:43.559 on my Windows and I could not get it to 1:42:43.640 --> 1:42:46.400 record the sound. And I'm not sure what I was 1:42:46.439 --> 1:42:49.160 doing wrong, but I have a feeling that sound may 1:42:49.200 --> 1:42:51.680 not be as easy to record. I know on the 1:42:51.720 --> 1:42:54.439 Mac it's a separate program that you need to record 1:42:54.479 --> 1:42:57.840 the sound. So but Fred, that's a that's a great 1:42:57.840 --> 1:43:00.280 way to record stuff on the screen that may not 1:43:00.320 --> 1:43:04.160 include sound. Again, Windows key all plus R is a 1:43:04.160 --> 1:43:10.080 good one. Stu chimed in about our conversation regarding AM radio. 1:43:10.680 --> 1:43:14.759 We were talking about how Ford was gonna ditch AM 1:43:14.880 --> 1:43:18.720 radio in their cars and a lot of people, a 1:43:18.800 --> 1:43:22.400 lot of people are talking about that, and Stu chimed in. 1:43:22.640 --> 1:43:24.400 By the way, Ford had a change of heart and 1:43:24.439 --> 1:43:27.760 they ended up putting the AM back in it. But 1:43:27.840 --> 1:43:32.000 Stu said, AM radio died along with civilized talk radio. 1:43:32.800 --> 1:43:35.559 NPR was on FM podcast. Put a stake in it. 1:43:35.800 --> 1:43:40.120 No loss, Oh, Stu, as someone who's new to AM 1:43:40.240 --> 1:43:44.960 radio on the radio, you really stabbed me where it hurts. 1:43:45.400 --> 1:43:48.080 Thanks, all right, Parker up next, what's your next one? 1:43:48.200 --> 1:43:48.679 All right? 1:43:49.040 --> 1:43:53.360 So our next one is Ron And he said, Hey, Rich, 1:43:53.479 --> 1:43:55.160 this is Ron from Arizona. 1:43:55.520 --> 1:43:56.160 I called you. 1:43:56.840 --> 1:43:59.320 I called you show on May thirteenth asking about a 1:43:59.360 --> 1:44:03.679 mesh why fight system for our thirteen thousand square foot church. 1:44:04.400 --> 1:44:09.400 I went with the EUO Pro six e. Install Installation 1:44:11.000 --> 1:44:14.080 was super easy. The system works great. Wi Fi is 1:44:14.120 --> 1:44:15.879 strong throughout the entire building. 1:44:16.280 --> 1:44:19.560 Our only issues so far as getting are printer connected. 1:44:20.040 --> 1:44:23.680 It worked fine with our old connection. We're having multiple 1:44:23.800 --> 1:44:28.040 problems with the new system. Oh well, technology, thank you 1:44:28.080 --> 1:44:28.960 so much for your help. 1:44:29.320 --> 1:44:30.280 I remember this call. 1:44:30.320 --> 1:44:32.160 He was trying to get the Wi Fi in the 1:44:32.240 --> 1:44:34.600 church and I recommended some systems, so I'm glad so 1:44:34.640 --> 1:44:37.960 we went with the consumer system, the EURO Pro. He's 1:44:38.000 --> 1:44:40.720 having trouble with the printer. I think the problem with 1:44:40.760 --> 1:44:43.479 the printer is that it's probably an older printer that 1:44:43.640 --> 1:44:45.799 uses the two point four gigahertz network. 1:44:46.040 --> 1:44:46.559 There is a. 1:44:46.560 --> 1:44:49.759 Setting in the EURO settings that if you're having trouble 1:44:49.760 --> 1:44:53.200 connecting a device, go into the troubleshooting section of the 1:44:53.280 --> 1:44:56.040 app and it will actually switch your network over to 1:44:56.320 --> 1:44:59.280 just two point four gigaherts for ten minutes to help 1:44:59.320 --> 1:45:01.200 you connect some of the those old gadgets that will 1:45:01.200 --> 1:45:03.840 then work with the network. But I'm glad to hear 1:45:03.880 --> 1:45:06.360 that everything went well. It's is not always good when 1:45:06.360 --> 1:45:07.760 you hear some good feedback. 1:45:07.960 --> 1:45:09.880 Yeah it is. It is always nice like you. 1:45:10.680 --> 1:45:13.920 Now I'm gonna do some mean feedback from Oliver. Oliver 1:45:14.040 --> 1:45:19.000 wrote in Good Afternoon, stop in capitals with the what's 1:45:19.040 --> 1:45:22.000 going on? You sound like a valley girl. It dumbs 1:45:22.040 --> 1:45:24.360 you down. You're an adult now and you really don't 1:45:24.360 --> 1:45:28.120 need a catchphrase. And as Colombo says, one more thing, 1:45:28.520 --> 1:45:31.160 you are trying too hard to be all things to 1:45:31.240 --> 1:45:35.080 all people. Historically that does not work. Be careful and 1:45:35.160 --> 1:45:36.679 don't jump the shark too soon. 1:45:37.640 --> 1:45:38.000 Oliver. 1:45:38.600 --> 1:45:41.439 Well, Oliver, you know what, if you've been listening to 1:45:41.479 --> 1:45:43.839 my podcast, I've been saying what's going on for about 1:45:44.720 --> 1:45:47.400 five years, so I don't think I'm gonna stop just yet. 1:45:47.400 --> 1:45:49.880 But I do appreciate the feedback, and you know I'm 1:45:49.920 --> 1:45:50.559 open to back. 1:45:50.600 --> 1:45:51.400 Is always nice. 1:45:51.520 --> 1:45:53.280 But all right, Park, we're gonna have to say goodbye. 1:45:54.040 --> 1:45:56.760 Thank you for being on the show today.

Ruth said, I'm the one that had the 1:46:00.640 --> 1:46:02.320 visa card hacked three times in a month. 1:46:02.360 --> 1:46:03.200 I followed your advice. 1:46:03.200 --> 1:46:05.400 I put on Apple Pay and I got an Apple 1:46:05.439 --> 1:46:09.800 card and so far, so good.
