1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: Threads takes the tech world by storm. The social media

2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: scam that wants to give you a free piano, Volkswagen

3
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: tests self driving cars, plus your tech questions answered. What's

4
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 1: going on? I'm Rich Demiro and this is Rich on Tech.

5
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: This show where I talk about the tech stuff I

6
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: think you should know about. It's also the place where

7
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: I answer your questions about technology. I believe that tech

8
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: should be easy, helpful and inspiring. Phone lines are now

9
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: open at triple eight Rich one oh one. That's eight

10
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: eight eight seven four to two, four to one zero one.

11
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: Give me a call. If you have a question about technology,

12
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: email is also open. Send it to hello at richontech

13
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: dot TV. Well, there is only one story in the

14
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: tech world, one story in the entire tech world, and

15
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 1: that is Threads. This is a new app created by

16
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: Instagram that lets folks share text updates and join in

17
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: on public conversations. It's basically Twitter, but from Instagram. It's

18
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: all access through your Instagram account. Seventy million is that

19
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: the last count. Seventy million people have signed up in

20
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: less than two days. Any startup in the world would

21
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: love to have that kind of number. How did it

22
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: get there so fast? We'll talk about that more later

23
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: in the show, but the bottom line is that because

24
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: it's so tightly integrated with Instagram, it was super easy

25
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: to sign up and find your followers and find people

26
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: to follow, and that made it very sticky right away.

27
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: And people are really having a blast with this thing.

28
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: So I'll tell you more about threads and just moment,

29
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: but I thought it'd be fun to kind of take

30
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: a walk down social media history lane, because as tech folks,

31
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: we get really excited about the latest and greatest things,

32
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: and honestly, it's always been this way. It's been this

33
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: way for a very long time, probably thirty years now.

34
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: The very first social network that I remember was Friendster.

35
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: Friendster was back in about two thousand and two, and

36
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: it got some pretty big success. I think everyone was

37
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: on friendstr and Friendster just pretty much lets you connect

38
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: with friends. I don't remember much more about it than that.

39
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: That's all I remember is that you kind of just

40
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: connected with your friends on there. And I don't remember

41
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: what we did on there, but we had our friends

42
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: on there, and then all of a sudden, my Space

43
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: came along, like a year later, and then everyone went

44
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: to MySpace and we all said Ooh, this is really cool.

45
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: My Space is really fun because it lets you customize

46
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: your homepage, your profile page. It was kind of like

47
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: a social network version of GeoCities, the website that everyone

48
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: had their home on the web MySpace. We were all

49
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: friends with Tom. Remember Tom. I guarantee you in your

50
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: head you could think about what Tom looks like to

51
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: this day, that white T shirt or maybe it was

52
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: a black T shirt. I don't remember, but anyway, you

53
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: could remember Tom, who could forget And the best part

54
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: about MySpace is that it showed you how you knew someone.

55
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: That was the best part is that you saw how

56
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: you were connected and that was so really fun, and

57
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: you were connected to everyone by the way. I don't

58
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: think there's a person on MySpace that you were not

59
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: connected to. And my Space was heavy on the music influence,

60
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: so there's a lot of music kind of built into

61
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: MySpace and that was really I think what helped it

62
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: take off too, is that you can listen to music

63
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: on there and just share the kind of music you wanted,

64
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: and really it just gave you a way to express yourself.

65
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: For Square, remember that one four square came along and

66
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: this I remember specifically checking into places in New York

67
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: City when this came out, I believe I was working

68
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: at c neet around the time, and for Square allowed

69
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: you to check in at your favorite restaurant, your favorite bar,

70
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: your favorite coffee shop, wherever you were and share that

71
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: out and so people could see where you were, and

72
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: if you checked in enough, you would become mayor of

73
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: that place. And that was an honor to become the

74
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: mayor of wherever you were. So for Square was pretty

75
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: hot for a while and it was fun, it was great.

76
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: It showed people where you were. That was the next

77
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: kind of the geolocation part of this became a big

78
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: part of social media networks. How about this one? Do

79
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: you remember? Path? Path was a This was when everyone

80
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: was sort of sick of social media. They wanted to

81
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: go back in to just close friends and family. So

82
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: Path was an app that was beautifully designed. It allowed

83
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: you to share photos, video and messages with just a

84
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: limited amount of people, just your friends and family. I

85
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: think you can only have a certain amount on there.

86
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: The problem is, well, we decided we like to go viral,

87
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: we like to be public. We like to have random

88
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: strangers say ooh that looks cool, ooh you look like

89
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: you're in a cool place. Ooh, you look like you're

90
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: eating at a cool restaurant. Okay, now this was a

91
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: big one. Google Plus. I remember working at KTLA and

92
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: Google Plus came out and it might have been the

93
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: biggest thing we have ever seen in our entire lives.

94
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: Google Plus was huge. It was launched by Google. It

95
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: was so complicated, but it was supposed to be a

96
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: challenger to Facebook, more private, more secure, better integrated with Google.

97
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: And guess what, we all used it for about a

98
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: week and that was it. I loved Google Plus. I

99
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: love some of the features on there, it just never

100
00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: took off. How about Vine? Remember Vine? Vine gave you

101
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: the ability to post six second videos. Now I never

102
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: got on Vine. I was never big on Vine, but

103
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: it was kind of a pathway to all of the

104
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: current social media networks that deal with creators. Vine is

105
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: where you really had to be super creative because you

106
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: had to catch someone's attention in six seconds or less

107
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: and be interesting and be funny and witty and smart

108
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: and cool. And these videos looped so you'd watch them

109
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: over and over, so these vines would have millions of views.

110
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: Twitter bought Vine eventually shut it down, all right, Meerkat.

111
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: I remember where I was for this one. This was

112
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: the first time you could stream live from your smartphone.

113
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: What an amazing thing, streaming live from your smartphone. I

114
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: was at the Apple event up in Coopertino when this

115
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: came out, and it was revolutionary. And of course now

116
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: you can stream live from one thousand and one apps.

117
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 1: Periscope came out a little bit later and kind of

118
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: overtook this. Periscope was unbought by two Twitter and Meerkat

119
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: was eventually shut down. So you see the pattern here, folks. Clubhouse,

120
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: how about this one? Remember how hot Clubhouse was. You

121
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: couldn't even get on Clubhouse, that's how hot it was.

122
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: Even the name Clubhouse reminds me of trying to get

123
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: into clubs in Hollywood. It's like, sorry, dude, not tonight.

124
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: This was Clubhouse. This is an audio only app and

125
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: I believe it's still around. But it was kind of

126
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: built into Twitter as well with a feature called spaces

127
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: and it's an audio only app where people discuss things

128
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: in an audio only way, and it was it had

129
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: a moment and now I'm not sure what the deal

130
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: is with Clubhouse.

131
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 2: Now.

132
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: I didn't mention the successful social media networks Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram.

133
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: These have set the foundation for our social media world today.

134
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: These are the apps that are probably installed in a

135
00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: majority of smartphones. If you just ask a couple of people, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok.

136
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: They are the rst lne of social media apps right

137
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: and now we have a new one, Instagram. Threads. People

138
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: were so unhappy with Twitter, they were looking for a

139
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: new outlet, and I think a lot of them found it.

140
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: Threads is basically Twitter, but through Instagram. So you write

141
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: a post, people comment on. The posts are called threads.

142
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: It's all about real time conversations and the neat thing

143
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: about threads. Not only that has seventy million people so overnight,

144
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: it feels alive, it feels vibrant. It feels like your

145
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: best friends are on there, and also your mom. And

146
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: that's not a joke. I'm not saying your mom. I'm

147
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: just saying like she might be on there at this point.

148
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: Because they made it so easy to sign up, you

149
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: log in with Instagram. It's available in one hundred countries

150
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: Europe excluded, by the way, because of privacy situation. Posts

151
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: can be up to five characters, they can include links, photos,

152
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: and videos up to five minutes. You can share your

153
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: threads to an Instagram story, or they even made it

154
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: easy to post your thread to Twitter. I'm sure that'll

155
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: be blocked soon. It's just one of these things that

156
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: has taken off overnight and it's fun. And the reason

157
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: why it's fun is because people are on there, and

158
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: it's almost like the first day of school. All your

159
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: friends are there, everyone's chatting, everyone's having a great conversation.

160
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: And the interesting thing about this not only is it

161
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: owned by Meta, which is a whole other conversation which

162
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: we'll talk about soon, but it's built on an open

163
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: platform called Activity pub which means theoretically, eventually you'll be

164
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: able to use other apps to not only interact with

165
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: people on threads, but also bring your threads account somewhere else.

166
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: If Threads is not as fun anymore, you want to

167
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: go somewhere else, maybe use a different app. Mastodon is

168
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: one of the apps that also uses the same protocol.

169
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: So that's kind of interesting that Facebook book would adopt

170
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: an open protocol for this app. So Threads available now.

171
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: You can find me on there. I am at rich

172
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: on tech on threads and already just little old me

173
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: has over I think ten thousand people on there because

174
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: it let me bring over a lot or let my

175
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 1: Instagram followers find me there. So Threads, we're going to

176
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: talk about that more on the show today. We've got

177
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: some great guests. We've got a lot coming up.

178
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 3: Coming up.

179
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: We've got Casey Newton of Platformer. We're going to talk

180
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: all things threads. Casey is sort of the expert on

181
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: this thing. We also have Jacob Palmer of Best Reviews.

182
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: He's going to join us to talk Amazon Prime Day deals.

183
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: And then later in the show, doctor Renee Dua. She

184
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: created an app called Heel. You might have heard of it.

185
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: It's a doctor on demand app. Well, she has a

186
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: new one. It's called Together and it can take your

187
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: vital signs with just a selfie. But first it is

188
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: your turn. We're going to have your calls coming up

189
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: next at triple eight Rich one oh one. That's eight

190
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

191
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: You can email me hello at richontech dot TV. Give

192
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: me a call or email if you have a question

193
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: about technology. My name is rich Demiro and you are

194
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: listening to Rich on Tech. Let's go to Jennifer in

195
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: Laguna Beach. Jennifer, you're on with Rich.

196
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 4: Hi.

197
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 5: Rich.

198
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 6: I have an iPhone and my traveling buddy has an Android.

199
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 6: Is there an app that would work across platforms to

200
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 6: allow us to track each other's phones when we're on

201
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 6: trips together in case one of us misplaces our phone.

202
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: Ooh, good call. So they have an Android? You have

203
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: an iPhone?

204
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 3: Right?

205
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 1: Okay? I think the best app for this is Life

206
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: three sixty. Have you heard of that?

207
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 4: No?

208
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: Okay? So Life three sixty is basically and there are

209
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: many many ways you can do this. There are many

210
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: many ways, but Life three sixty is probably one of

211
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: the best. Like location sharing, it's mostly for families, but

212
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: it can be used for friends as well, and it's

213
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: free for the main plan, so you can just sign

214
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: up and use it for free, which is kind of nice.

215
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: And for free you get two days of location history,

216
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: two places with alerts, so if you wanted, like if

217
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: you had a kid per se and you wanted to

218
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: know every time that kid got back to their house

219
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: or school, you can have two places set up and

220
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: then SOS help alert so you can install this app,

221
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 1: you invite your friend, and next thing you know you're

222
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: both sharing your location on these on this app, cross platform,

223
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: and this will work wherever you go. You'll be able

224
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: to see the last known location. You'll also be able

225
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: to see information about battery life on your phone. There's

226
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of things built into this app that will,

227
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: I believe help with what you're asking about. Does that

228
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: sound like it would work, Yeah.

229
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 3: It really does.

230
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 6: She misplaced her phone for a while on our last

231
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 6: trip together, and that's what made us think that if

232
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 6: we had a way we could try to each other's phone,

233
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 6: it would have avoid a little bit.

234
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 5: Of stress on her part.

235
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: Now, if you have an Android phone or an iPhone,

236
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: there's a couple of ways to find and locate those

237
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: devices from any device, and so if you're an Android

238
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: device user, you can just literally Google Find my device.

239
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: So if you go to Google dot com slash Android

240
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,719
Speaker 1: slash find, you will see the last known look. You'll

241
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: see all of the devices on your Google account. Now, obviously,

242
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: if it's her phone or their phone, you will they

243
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: will have to log in using their Google information, and

244
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: so that you know, keep that in mind, especially with

245
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: two factor authentication, But you can go to that as well,

246
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: and then if you have an iPhone, I believe it's

247
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: iCloud dot com slash find. Let's see if that's the address.

248
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: Yeap iCloud dot com slash find. So, no matter what,

249
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: you can find the devices. The problem is for most

250
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: people they're gonna have to in from someone else's device.

251
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 1: And guess what happens when that When that occurs, yeah.

252
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 6: It's it's a challenge to get in, especially if you've

253
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 6: got two factors set up. It's gonna send its code.

254
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: So the phone you can't find exactly do we have

255
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: a ding? That's uh, Jennifer, you got it. You don't

256
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: even need me anymore. See I'm telling you. So that's

257
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: the biggest problem. I mean, asking anyone to log in

258
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: for anything on their phone is usually a situation because

259
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: I'll tell people, you know, they'll come up to me

260
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: and they'll have a problem with their device. I'll say, oh, well,

261
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: let's log into this, and they say, oh, I don't

262
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: know that password. It's gonna take me a while. So

263
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: I think the Life three sixty will be a good solution.

264
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure there are other solutions out there. There used

265
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: to be one from Google that we were using cross

266
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: platform that was pretty simple, but it was like a

267
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: trusted contact situation. But I think that the Life three

268
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: sixty app is set up to do things that you're

269
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: asking for, and I think that's going to be the

270
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: easiest way, uh to do it at this point. So

271
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: we're you headed, you said Europe.

272
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, we we went.

273
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 6: To Ireland and Scotland last month and now in the

274
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 6: fall we're going to Italy. So oh yeah, I know.

275
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 6: I don't know how I got this lucky.

276
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 2: I promise I went to Italy.

277
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding. I went last year and there's not

278
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: been a day that goes by that I have not

279
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: thought about Italy in an entire year. So if you

280
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: want to check out my Instagram at rich on Tech,

281
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: scroll through my highlights and just look at Rome, and

282
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding, you will be so excited for your

283
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: trip you can't wait. We had such a great time

284
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: and it was just four days. I met my wife

285
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: out there, she was on a work trip and we

286
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: had such an amazing time. All right, Jennifer, thanks so

287
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: much for calling today. I appreciate it. Let me tell

288
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: you about the latest social media scam. According to the

289
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: BBB Better Business Bureau, their scam tracker is getting a

290
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: whole bunch of numerous a whole bunch of reports. It

291
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: sounds like a friendly neighbor trying to give away their piano.

292
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:01,479
Speaker 1: But guess what, not so fast sopens through Facebook Marketplace.

293
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: Someone's trying to get rid of their piano. But all

294
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: you have to do is pay the shipping costs and

295
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: they will put you in touch with the movers who

296
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: will deliver it. Guess what They're gonna ask for money

297
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: via zell, PayPal or another digital wallet app. They may

298
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: even ask you to wire money or pay with a

299
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: prepaid debit card. You send the money, the piano never arrives.

300
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: One person fell for eight hundred and forty three dollars

301
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: of this scam. Another person fourteen and twenty four dollars.

302
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: Do not fall for this scam. It's apparently happening on Facebook,

303
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: Marketplace and other platforms. Don't take the free piano unless

304
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: you see it on the street. It's probably not free.

305
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: It goes back to that old adage, if it sounds

306
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: too good to be true, it probably is. Ah so

307
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: many scams every day, all right, coming up, we are

308
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: going to talk to Casey Newton of Platformer Casey's gonna

309
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: talk all things threads. I've already had people say they

310
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: found me on there, so I am at rich on

00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: right now. But you never know when I will send

327
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,719
Speaker 1: something amazing out, so get on the list. It's free.

328
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: Might as well be there. Samsung has announced that they

329
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 1: are doing their next event in Korea. We knew that,

330
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: but now we have a date. The date is July

331
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: twenty sixth. Unpacked will be held for the very first

332
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 1: time in Soeul, Korea. They say this is where traditional

333
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 1: culture and futuristic visions intersect to inspire global trends and

334
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: game changing innovation. So this event will be live streamed

335
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 1: all over the place, including YouTube, Samsung TV Plus. I

336
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: was actually at the barber shop and that was the

337
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,239
Speaker 1: first time I saw someone using Samsung TV Plus. It's

338
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: kind of like their free TV built into all of

339
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: their devices. There's a lot of programming on there. So

340
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 1: what are they going to announce at this event? You

341
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: already know. Oh, it's said join the flip side, So

342
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 1: I think we already have an idea. So we're going

343
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: to see the new Samsung Galaxy Z flip five and

344
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: Z fold five, and so those devices will be pretty

345
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: hot this time around, because foldables are a pretty big

346
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: deal right now. We've got them from Google, we've got

347
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: them coming up from one plus, and of course Samsung

348
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: was the leader in this spot, but now they've got

349
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: some good competition. So the event is actually going to

350
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: happen at seven am Eastern, but because it's in Seoul, Korea,

351
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: I believe it's going to be a nighttime event, and

352
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: I guess I can tell you this now, but I

353
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: will be there. So I am very, very excited to

354
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: go to Korea and experience what it's going to be

355
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: like there from their perspective, because I believe I would

356
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: have to imagine that Korea is probably very popular with

357
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: Samsung devices, whereas here in America we are very iPhone centric,

358
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: and so we'll see what happens. It'll be interesting. Other

359
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: things to note, Volkswagen launching their first autonomous driving test

360
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: program here in the US. It's gonna happen in Austin, Texas.

361
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: If you listen to the show, you know I was

362
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: in Austin, Texas recently. So this is gonna kick off

363
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: this month with ten all electric ID Buzz vehicles. This

364
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: is that little van I called it. Well, it's kind

365
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 1: of like when I was a kid we had a van. Again.

366
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: It kind of reminds me of that. So this is

367
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: gonna be ten of these cars outfitted with autonomous driving

368
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: technology developed by Volkswagen in partnership with a company called

369
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: Mobile Eye, and they're gonna test this over the next

370
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: three years and they're gonna keep growing this fleet. So

371
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna start with ten and keep going more, and

372
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: they're gonna expand to at least four more cities in

373
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: the US. I can already guess what those cities are

374
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: gonna be. Probably gonna be Phoenix, Las Vegas, Los Angeles,

375
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: maybe San Francisco. Those are the cities that have been

376
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: historically nice to self driving cars. So let's see what

377
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: do they say. They're gonna be driven thousands of miles

378
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: across a wide diversity of drive scenarios, and the technology

379
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: on board includes cameras, radar, and light ar, and all

380
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: vehicles would be staffed with a supervising human driver at

381
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: all times throughout this initial test phase. So it's happening.

382
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: Self driving cars definitely happening. It's happening fast up in

383
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: San Francisco. Apparently people are using cones to disable they're

384
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: so annoyed with these self driving cars, they're using cones

385
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: to disable them. I guess they put the cone on

386
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: the hood of the car and it stops going. And

387
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: they say that they're doing this because these these self

388
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 1: driving cars are not only annoying, but they're ruining the streets.

389
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: They're causing traffic tie ups. They don't always work right

390
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: and people aren't happy there, all right, give me a

391
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: call at triple eight rich one oh one. That's eight

392
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: eight eight seven four to two, four to one zero one.

393
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: We do have our guest, Casey Newton of Platformer. Casey

394
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: is kind of a big deal. Casey talks about social

395
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: media and its relationship with the world. Very popular newsletter

396
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: at platformer dot news. And it took me a while

397
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: to get Casey on this show because Casey's a busy guy.

398
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: So we are welcome to Casey to the show. Do

399
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: we have them, Casey? Can you hear me?

400
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 7: Yes?

401
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 8: I can't.

402
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 3: Hi.

403
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 1: Hey, welcome to the show. Thanks for joining me.

404
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 9: Hey, I'm sorry to be here. Sorry I'm a little

405
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 9: bit late. It's been a moving week for me, so

406
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 9: everything is insane.

407
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: I hear that, so no problem, but welcome to the show.

408
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining me. Let's talk about threads. I am

409
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: sure this has consumed your entire week, because has this

410
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: been the fastest social media network to ever reach seventy

411
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: million people in two days?

412
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 2: It has an In.

413
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 9: Fact, people are saying it might be the fastest app

414
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 9: to hit one hundred million users ever, So we really

415
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 9: have not seen anything like it.

416
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: So how do you describe threads? I just said, it's

417
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: kind of like Instagram's version of Twitter. How do you

418
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 1: describe it?

419
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 2: I think that that's about right. You know. The basic

420
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 2: idea is to create a place where people.

421
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 9: Can write sentences, share links, post photos and gifts, and

422
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 9: just have public conversations.

423
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 2: So that's definitely what Twitter is.

424
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 9: And Meta will tell you that they're not trying to

425
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 9: clone Twitter, that they want to make something better than Twitter,

426
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 9: but at least the one point zero version looks a

427
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 9: heck of a lot like Twitter.

428
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: So what is your initial take on this? I mean,

429
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: you've been following this very closely. I know you tried

430
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: to be on vacation this week but that didn't happen,

431
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 1: and you also got an interview in your podcast hard

432
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 1: Fork with Adam Osseri, who heads Instagram. So what are

433
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: your impressions of this? Tell me?

434
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I like it a lot. I'm somebody

435
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 2: who found Twitter very useful in doing my work.

436
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 9: It's where I sort of got a sense of how

437
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 9: people felt about what was going on in the news.

438
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 9: It's where I would see stories as they were breaking.

439
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 9: It would help me understand what I wanted to write.

440
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 9: About during the day, and so when it started to

441
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 9: collapse over the past six months, I was really sad

442
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 9: and I felt like there needs to be a replacement

443
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 9: for this, like this set of important things cannot be

444
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 9: entrusted to Elon Musk. And so when this week we

445
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 9: got something that effectively is a replacement for Twitter, and

446
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 9: it started to grow very quickly, I just got very

447
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 9: excited because I thought, this thing is going to solve

448
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 9: all of the problems that Twitter.

449
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 2: Used to solve for me.

450
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: And so how is it compared to Twitter? Because I've

451
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: been sort of flipping back and forth between the two.

452
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm not the only person doing that. But

453
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: at some point we sort of have to choose. Does

454
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: that come soon? Does that come later? What's that process?

455
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 10: Like?

456
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 9: Well, I would say to people, you can choose now,

457
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 9: you can stop using Twitter. There's no point to using Twitter.

458
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 9: The Twitter experience is only going to get worse. Just

459
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 9: look at the past six months. Everything that used to

460
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 9: be free now costs you eight bucks a month. Okay,

461
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 9: maybe that feels like a good experience to you. It

462
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 9: doesn't feel like a good experience to me. What I

463
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 9: used to get on Twitter for free, I can now

464
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 9: get on threads for free. And I think the fact

465
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 9: that so many people are moving over so quickly tells

466
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 9: you about the demand for a product like that.

467
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 1: And so you said it's free, what about the idea

468
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: that this is owned by Meta? And just a few

469
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,239
Speaker 1: years ago people didn't really like Meta either because of

470
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 1: all of the privacy issues in situation there. So what

471
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: do we make of that at this point? Do we

472
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: feel like metas cleaned up their act?

473
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 9: Well, I do think that they're better at a lot

474
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 9: of things than they used to be in twenty sixteen.

475
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 9: But I definitely understand why people are skeptical, and we

476
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 9: should be skeptical. You know, at the end of the day,

477
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 9: these are for profit companies. They're trying to make a

478
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 9: buck and they need, you know, journalists, regulators, academics to

479
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 9: keep an eye on them and make sure that they're

480
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 9: not doing, you know, anything inappropriate with with our data,

481
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 9: our privacy, or anything else. At the same time, for me,

482
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 9: it's just like, you know, the order of the day

483
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 9: was to replace, and so let's focus on that, and

484
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 9: then after that's done, then we can sort of bring

485
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 9: all that scrutiny.

486
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 2: Back to Meta.

487
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: So Threads you're finding. I think the key genius to

488
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: this whole situation is that your followers can follow you

489
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: very easily on Threads, and that made this place very

490
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: quickly vibrant and alive. Is that kind of like the

491
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: magic of it?

492
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

493
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 9: I mean Instagram was just in such a great position

494
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 9: to do this because they already had a very Twitter

495
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 9: like user base, right in the sense that it was

496
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 9: a lot of normal people following celebrities, influencers, athletes, journalists.

497
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 2: Sometimes.

498
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 9: It was just that the medium was much more visual,

499
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,239
Speaker 9: and that turns out to be a perfect springboard to

500
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 9: launch something that is going to be a little bit

501
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 9: more text based, right. You just sort of build a

502
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 9: different container and then you import all of those accounts

503
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 9: and it's just again, it's been really amazing seeing how

504
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 9: in just a few short days so many of the

505
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 9: really prominent users of Instagram have gone ahead and set

506
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,479
Speaker 9: up Threads account and are going crazy posting.

507
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 1: Now. One of the things that Mosseeri said, I believe

508
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: on your podcast, and that he didn't really see this

509
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: as a place for hard news. Now, I think that

510
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: many of the Threads users would already disagree with that.

511
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: Can they control what happens on this platform.

512
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 9: Uh, mostly No. You know, I think that was an

513
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 9: interesting statement. It's gotten a lot of attention. In practice,

514
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 9: these companies always just follow the lead of the users.

515
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,479
Speaker 9: You know, if the users of Threads decide that they

516
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 9: want to see news on threads, there's going to be

517
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 9: news on Threads. I saw that statement as a little

518
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 9: bit of a marketing pitch, right. I think if you're

519
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 9: trying to sell a new app to consumers, running out

520
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 9: and saying, hey, there's gonna be a lot of breaking

521
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 9: news on here, a lot of really divisive political stories,

522
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 9: does it really seem very enticing. If instead you come

523
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 9: out and say, hey, this is a place for creators

524
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 9: and we want to have really kind fun conversations, you're

525
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 9: probably going to be better off. So I think that

526
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 9: was kind of the spirit in which Adam said that.

527
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 9: But at the same time, this company has a lot

528
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 9: of scar tissue around journalism, right, Like, they they're under

529
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 9: so much scrutiny for you know, what, which publishers are

530
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 9: on the platform and who's getting the most distribution. You know,

531
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 9: there are laws in Australia and Canada that are trying

532
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 9: to force them to pay just to display links, So

533
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 9: they're they're really I think anxious about having some of

534
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 9: the same problems that Twitter did.

535
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 1: Now when you copied over your username to threads, you're

536
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: Crumbler on Instagram, and you said, at some point, I

537
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: wish that maybe I would have thought about that a

538
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: little bit more so the username or the username comes over.

539
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: You've been very active on threads since it started, So

540
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: tell me what your impressions are of it. What do

541
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: you think.

542
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 9: Well, you know, one thing that I think is interesting

543
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 9: about it is, particularly for those first couple of days,

544
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 9: if you posted anything, there was a good chance that

545
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 9: it would show up essentially in the feed that everyone

546
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 9: was looking at. So imagine being able to post directly

547
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 9: to the for you page on TikTok and just have

548
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 9: kind of the whole world seeing what you were doing,

549
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 9: even if they didn't follow you. That was kind of

550
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 9: the experience. And so you know, TikTok, I'm sorry. Threads

551
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 9: by default will sort of buzz your phone every time

552
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 9: you get a like or a reply or a mention,

553
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 9: and so I would post something on threads in those

554
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 9: first couple of days and my phone was just like shaking,

555
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 9: like it was.

556
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 2: Having a nervous breakdown or something.

557
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 9: I mean, everything was going bananas, and you know, of

558
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 9: course I do feel silly about it, but at the

559
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 9: end of the day, I think we all do get

560
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 9: a seratonin hit when you publish something on a network

561
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 9: like this and you know a lot of people start

562
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 9: to like it. So there was absolutely something addictive just

563
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 9: about posting thinking like, hey, you know, I mean, you know,

564
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 9: not to brag rich, but I posted something a couple

565
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 9: of days ago and like Sarah Jessica Parker was like, oh, yeah,

566
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 9: this is interesting.

567
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 2: And by the way, I love your podcast.

568
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 9: I was like, that is like beyond my wildest dreams

569
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 9: of anything that would ever happen to me on a

570
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 9: social network.

571
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 2: So made me very pro Threads.

572
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: Wow, that's wild. Yes, that is that is exciting if

573
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: you get that kind of comment. It's funny because I

574
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: kept looking at people who are commenting on my stuff

575
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: and I was like, wait, do I know this person?

576
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: Do I follow them? Because I guess what you're saying

577
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: is what happened to me is that some of my

578
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,719
Speaker 1: posts might have gotten into like other people's feeds, and

579
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: that is actually one and we're gonna leave it at this,

580
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: but that's one of the things that people are saying

581
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: to me, like, Rich, I don't know if I like

582
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: this because I'm getting other people's stuff in my feed.

583
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: What do you say to that. I mean, is that

584
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: a problem or should we be exposed to other things?

585
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 8: Yeah?

586
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 9: I mean I think eventually they will probably roll out

587
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 9: away for you to see only posts from people that

588
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 9: you're following.

589
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 2: I think that'll be a good thing. But I think,

590
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 2: you know, the first.

591
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 9: Job that every new social network has is to just

592
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 9: convince you that enough is going on there that you

593
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 9: should bother to pay attention to it. And if it

594
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 9: had to rely on you to go follow a bunch

595
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 9: of people that were very active and interesting, odds are

596
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 9: you wouldn't find it very interesting. So I think it's

597
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 9: smart to show you a bunch of stuff from people

598
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 9: that you don't follow. And of course, you know, if

599
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 9: you see anything you don't like, just mute it and

600
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 9: hopefully your feet will get better.

Speaker 1: You're on with Rich.

614
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 8: A defuctive spectrum modem. Burn my knees, my legs while

615
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 8: I slip in a bud that was on the other

616
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 8: side of the whap from the defective from modem. I

617
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 8: asked the all I threw d in the bed about

618
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 8: five different days, about eight hours each day. When I

619
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 8: each day, when I woke up after the eight hours,

620
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 8: my knees were on fire. They were burning inside. When

621
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 8: they weren't hot, they were burning inside and it was

622
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 8: hard to walk.

623
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: Well I would have I would have stopped sleeping in

624
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: the bed after the first day. Why'd you go eight days?

625
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I would return the modem, get rid

626
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: of the modem. If it's that hot, I don't know

627
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: what it's doing to go through your wall, but that

628
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: is I know these things get hot. That's for sure,

629
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: and it's actually a good lesson to learn is that

630
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: you probably don't want to put these modems inside an

631
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: enclosed container. So these modems, if you look at them,

632
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: they've got a lot of breathing areas on them because

633
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: they can get hot. That you know, it's it's traveling.

634
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: A lot of Internet is traveling through those pipes. So

635
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: when you are setting up your modem, you definitely want

636
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: to put it in a place that is open on

637
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: all sides. A lot of people will put these things

638
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: in a drawer, they'll put them in a cabinet, they'll

639
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: put them behind a TV, which is also putting out

640
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: some of that heat. But tim definitely get professional help

641
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: if you are in fact, you know, if this is

642
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: a something that burns you for you know, more than

643
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: just a day or two. But after the first day,

644
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: why would you sleep in the same bed. I mean,

645
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: if this thing is doing this over and over, day

646
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: after day, night after night, you got you gotta nip

647
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: it in the butt, unplugged that thing and get rid

648
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: of it. They do have some spectrum stores. Maybe just

649
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: bring it into one of those and see what you

650
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: you know, if they can get you a new one.

651
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, again, the lesson learned here and I hope

652
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: you're okay, Tim, is that don't put these things well,

653
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: first off, don't let it happen more than once. And

654
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: second off, don't put these things in a enclosed area

655
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: because they can get hot. And we don't hear a

656
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: lot of stories like that, but for sure things can happen,

657
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: so good thing to be aware of, that's for sure.

658
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 1: Let's see, Oh did you see Thanks for the call.

659
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: By the way, did you see this sphere? This thing

660
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas which I actually had the ability to

661
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: visit last year and while they're building it. It's the

662
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: world's largest LED screen, five hundred and eighty thousand square

663
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: feet of fully programmable LED lighting. They lit it up

664
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 1: for the first time on July fourth, and it's called

665
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: the Sphere sph E r E Sphere Las Vegas. You

666
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: gotta look up the video on this I've got on

667
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: my Instagram at rich On Tech. They can basically make

668
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 1: this thing look like a giant moon, a giant fireworks show.

669
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not kidding. When Aliens and UFO see

670
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: this thing from space, they are going to want to

671
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: phone home because they're going to be like, I want

672
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 1: to see what that is. They're gonna come in close

673
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: and land. This is like an alien beacon in our

674
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: sky in Las Vegas. It is so big. But I

675
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: had the ability to go inside last year while they

676
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: were building it, and it is quite impressive. It's a

677
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: giant sphere. They're gonna do like concerts and shows inside.

678
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 1: It's a little too small for a sports arena inside,

679
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: but it is quite incredible. So look it up. Go

680
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 1: to my Instagram at rich on Tech. Check out the

681
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,359

00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: on the eleventh and twelfth this year July eleventh and twelfth,

694
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: so it is right around the corner also this week.

695
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: Since I keep you up to date on all the

696
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: movies I watch, I can't believe I was so late

697
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: to this one, but I did watch the sci fi

698
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: horror thriller movie Megan. I just realized it's actually spelled

699
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: with a three in her name, Megan m three gam.

700
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: So this was on my list for a long time

701
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,720
Speaker 1: and then I forgot about it. It got all the buzz,

702
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: and then I was flipping through Amazon Prime and I

703
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: saw that it was on there for free if you

704
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: know you're an Amazon Prime member, and I watched it

705
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: and it was It was so great. I mean, if

706
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: you like a campy horror movie, sci fi especially. It's

707
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: funny because this movie was right before all the AI

708
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: stuff took off, and so it's like nowadays, if they

709
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: made the same exact movie, like even a year later,

710
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: it would be all about AI and chatchypt. But it

711
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,919
Speaker 1: was right before that. But it was still really really good.

712
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,439
Speaker 1: It's about this doll that sort of comes to life,

713
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: has a mind of her own, not like in the

714
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: Chucky style, similar but just more modern. Anyway, if you

715
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 1: like a campy horror movie that doesn't take itself too seriously.

716
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: Check it out. Let's go to Reggie in Charleston, South Carolina. Reggie,

717
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:26,479
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich.

718
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 4: Hey, Rich, I think I may have done something very

719
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 4: terrible today. But maybe you can tell me that I'm

720
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 4: okay and I will not lose my house tomorrow.

721
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: Oh no, well, let's hear what she did. What happened? Reggie?

722
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 4: Okay, I have a small business. I do custom home

723
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 4: and PEP portraits.

724
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: Oh that's fun.

725
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 4: Yes, And I advertise on Facebook and this morning I

726
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 4: received a message from them telling me that I perhaps

727
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 4: was using my accounts fraudulently and that it really wasn't me.

728
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 1: You got an email or a notification? How did that

729
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 1: come out?

730
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 4: It was a notification through Facebook? Okay, So they asked

731
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 4: me to send a photograph of my driver's license and

732
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 4: I did. Am I in trouble? I mean? Have I

733
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 4: gotten scammed? Or is this? And I haven't heard another

734
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 4: single thing. I checked my advertising. Everything is still good.

735
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 4: But I'm just wondering if it was a scam and

736
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 4: I just sent my driver's license information to some weird person.

737
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, how did you send this driver's license.

738
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 4: I sent it to the email that they sent me.

739
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 4: I just forwarded it. It looked said it was from

740
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 4: Meta and so they had a link and said just

741
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 4: upload the picture. And I uploaded the picture.

742
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: And I sent can you tell me the email address? Like,

743
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: what is the domain of the email address?

744
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 4: So there was no real domain. It just came up

745
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 4: on my Facebook information.

746
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: Okay, So it came up on your Facebook as a

747
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: notification and you click the notification and then but if

748
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: you're emailing the driver's license, you had to send it

749
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 1: to some sort of address. Can you check in your

750
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 1: sent email or was it sent through your Facebook messages?

751
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 4: Yes, it was sent through my Facebook messages. And now

752
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 4: I can't seem to go back and find it.

753
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: Okay. So that so now here's the thing. There's a

754
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: couple of things going on. Number One, there are many

755
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 1: many scams that happen on Facebook that involve fraudulent activity.

756
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: They say, oh, your account's been flagged, you have fraudulent activity.

757
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 1: You need to do this. I get. And what they

758
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: do is they actually tag you in sort of a page.

759
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: Sometimes they'll say your page has been flagged. And I

760
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,280
Speaker 1: get these all the time on my Facebook like almost

761
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,399
Speaker 1: on a daily basi, and so yes, I would say

762
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: for the most part, ignore them. Number two the Facebook.

763
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: Now here's the interesting part, and this is what scam

764
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 1: artists specialize in. They try to do things that are

765
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: very similar to what you actually have to do. Now. Facebook,

766
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: if you are hacked, many times they will ask you

767
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: to submit a driver's license because they want to verify

768
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: you are who you say they are. But when I've

769
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: seen that happen, it's not an email. They actually will

770
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: have you hold your driver's license in front of your

771
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 1: webcam and it will scan it that way. Now I'm

772
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,240
Speaker 1: a little concerned, Reggie that you sent your driver's license

773
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: because it may be in the hands of someone that

774
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: should not have it. So here's what I think you

775
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: need to do. Number one, do you have two factor

776
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: authentication set up on your Facebook account?

777
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 7: No?

778
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: Okay, that's the number one thing you need to do

779
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: right now. I would go through and set that up

780
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,439
Speaker 1: right now. So if you just go to Facebook dot

781
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: com slash security, that's the first thing you want to

782
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 1: do is make sure you set it up. If you

783
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: are operating a business on your Facebook page, you have

784
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: to do that. Facebook dot Com let's see here, I

785
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: want to make sure I get this email address right.

786
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 1: Facebook two factor authentication, so just actually just google that

787
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: and just say you go to your security and login settings,

788
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: so there's like a little there's a little you know,

789
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: just it's face. Sorry, it's Facebook dot com, slash settings

790
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: and look for security. So that's where you want to go.

791
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,439
Speaker 1: That's the number one thing I would do. Number two

792
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: I would anytime you get an alert like this, you

793
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: really have to scrutinize it. You weren't doing anything wrong

794
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:50,360
Speaker 1: on Facebook. You probably haven't done anything that is a problem,

795
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: and so I think that you have to be just

796
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: skeptical of anytime someone's saying, hey, you know, you're doing

797
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:58,399
Speaker 1: something illegal or wrong, you'd have to be like, wait

798
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: a second, what, I don't know if that was that's

799
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: me or not? Right.

800
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 4: Well, the thing is rich they blocked me one time

801
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 4: because they thought I was trying to sell pets.

802
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,879
Speaker 1: Oh okay, now that's another Okay, now that does make

803
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: some more sense. That could be. Yeah. Now, I've have

804
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: heard stories about Facebook, especially Marketplace, will block people based

805
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: on selling you know, inauthentic goods or of course, pets

806
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: is a huge thing online. Right now where people are

807
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 1: scamming people with pets. So now I'm just curious when

808
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 1: you submitted this ID. Was the process? Was it through

809
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 1: your phone? Was it through a desktop?

810
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,280
Speaker 4: It was my iPad? On everything on my iPad?

811
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: And how did you scan your ID? Did you take

812
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: a picture of it?

813
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,439
Speaker 4: I just took a picture of it. They actually had

814
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:51,720
Speaker 4: the link and just said press here and send a picture.

815
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,399
Speaker 4: And they said either you know, if they don't ask

816
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 4: for my credit card, I never would have given it.

817
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: Through yeah, yeah, but.

818
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 4: Then asking for my identification. I was so afraid that

819
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 4: they were going to shut me off again because it

820
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 4: took me a long time to prove to Facebook that

821
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 4: I was doing pet portraits.

822
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know.

823
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 4: That might be a good thing because my pet portraits

824
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 4: are pretty good, and they thought I was selling pets,

825
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 4: and so that's what I was afraid was happening again.

826
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, it sounds like this actually could be legitimate

827
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 1: if it came through a notification, and it seemed like

828
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 1: it was a legitimate kind of activity through there. But

829
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 1: I think that the bigger question is, you know, you

830
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: have to be very critical of these notifications, and it

831
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 1: didn't come through an email you said, right, No, it did.

832
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 4: Not come through many I would have been more concerned.

833
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,320
Speaker 4: It came right through my Facebook page.

834
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: Right. But here's the thing. So, and that doesn't necessarily

835
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 1: mean that it's legitimate, but it means that it you know,

836
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,720
Speaker 1: these scam artists have found ways of getting around all

837
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 1: of the different policies in place by all of these

838
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: social networks, and believe me, they will try. Now, the

839
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: good news is it's your ID, so it's not your

840
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: credit card. I'm not sure what they could do with

841
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: this ID. I don't think they I don't think someone

842
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: should have it that shouldn't. But at the same time,

843
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: it's your ID. You know, you have to show your

844
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:14,879
Speaker 1: idea at the grocery store. Sometimes they take a scan

845
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: of it, you know.

846
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 3: So.

847
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: You know, what could they do with that if this

848
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 1: was fraudulent. Most of the time, if it's a fraudulent activity,

849
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: they want your credit card information, your bank account information.

850
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: They want you to send, you know, some sort of

851
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: gift card or cash or whatever, or a wire service.

852
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 1: So I think you might be okay, But Reggie, I

853
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 1: would just in the future be very cautious and maybe

854
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: wait for the second time you get an alert if

855
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 1: if that's the case, And did you get any sort

856
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 1: of confirmation through your email that you did this?

857
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:53,760
Speaker 4: No, I got I got nothing, no confirmation. I've received

858
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 4: nothing from them since I did it. Of course, my

859
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 4: husband's been yelling at me everything.

860
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that doesn't take much us husbands. Sometimes you know,

861
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: it happens. But here's the thing. I would next time

862
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: take a screenshot before you do anything in that way

863
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 1: if there if there comes to be a question, right

864
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: at least you know, like hey, like if I'm asking you,

865
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: like if you call me again and say I did this,

866
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: I can say, hey, what would what did it say? Exactly?

867
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: Because a lot of times we do these things so

868
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 1: fast that we forget exactly what it said. You forget

869
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 1: it a Was it an official Facebook page? Was it

870
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 1: an official logo? So a screenshot can help. And on

871
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 1: the iPhone, you take a screenshot by pressing the side

872
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 1: button and the up button. On the androids it's the

873
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 1: power button plus the down button. So just remember that

874
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,839
Speaker 1: for future reference. But Reggie, I think you're gonna be okay.

875
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 1: I would just be on the lookout for anything unusual

876
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 1: on your account, and I would definitely set up that

877
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 1: two two factor authentication as soon as you can. The

878
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: other thing I would look at right now is on

879
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 1: that Facebook dot Com slash settings, go to that security

880
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: tab and just see where it says you're logged in.

881
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 1: If you're logged in on any places that you don't

882
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 1: recogn just get rid of those places or log out

883
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: of all sessions and log in again. And I'm looking

884
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: at mine. I've got a ton of logins I need

885
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: to clean up as well. Thanks for the call, Reggie,

886
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, by bye. All right, Yeah, just be

887
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: aware of these things. That's I think the biggest thing

888
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: is is just to really be critical of any notification

889
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 1: or email you're getting. Be critical of the source, look

890
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 1: at where it's coming from, think about what it's asking

891
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 1: you to do, and understand why is it asking me

892
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: to do this? And in Reggie's case, she did it

893
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: really fast because she wanted to be on the good

894
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: side of Facebook. And that's what they're praying upon. I'm

895
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: not saying that we know this is a scam for sure,

896
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,359
Speaker 1: but that's what they pray upon. They pray upon us

897
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,760
Speaker 1: doing things really fast, really quick, just to get things

898
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,800

916
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 3: in Las Vegas, right, sure, it just it just opened

917
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 3: on July twenty, well, the fourth of julyfe yes. My

918
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:49,439
Speaker 3: question is who do you think is going to open that? Saying, man,

919
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 3: it's like a seventeen seventeen thousand people, eighteen thousand maybe arena.

920
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:00,800
Speaker 3: My guess is going to be swift, and I'm no swifty,

921
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:05,839
Speaker 3: but I like to put it out there in Vegas Land.

922
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 3: There's gonna be a bit for this one. Well, it's

923
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 3: going to open.

924
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 1: There would be. Now have you seen this thing in

925
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: person yet?

926
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 3: No, I've seen it only online.

927
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 1: And you saw the video.

928
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 3: I guess is that somebody's going to open there.

929
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 1: Well I can. Yeah, it's it's it's quite incredible. And

930
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:28,840
Speaker 1: I was inside before it opened and it's it's big.

931
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: But here's the thing that's that's really odd about it.

932
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: They built it where you can't have like a football

933
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: game in there because it's too small inside.

934
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 3: No I'm not talking about football. No, I know it's

935
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 3: set up for a concerts, yes, stuff like that.

936
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and here's the thing. There's also speakers in there

937
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:47,319
Speaker 1: that beam. They have like beam forming speakers, so they

938
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 1: literally beam sound. They can beam sounds to your specific seat.

939
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 10: It is.

940
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 1: It's quite incredible the technology they built in. Now here's

941
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 1: the thing. I already know who the people are going

942
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 1: to be that that are going to open this up

943
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 1: because they've said it. They just announced it. So here's

944
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 1: the opening. And Adam, does your mic work yet? Or no?

945
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 1: Now okay, Adam producer Adam here, his mike doesn't work.

946
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 1: He knows how to say this? Octun you too will

947
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:18,320
Speaker 1: open this in September, you v Octune Baby Live at Sphere.

948
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 1: Sphere is a really tough word to say. I don't

949
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:24,839
Speaker 1: like it. I don't like Sphere. It's too like, it's

950
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 1: too spheary. The first Sphere experience will be Postcard from Earth,

951
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 1: directed by Darren Arons Aaron Osky. This, let me just

952
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 1: stumble through this part of the show. In October, that's

953
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 1: when that's gonna happen. Then in November, during the Formula

954
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 1: one Las Vegas Grand Prix. No, I'm just kidding, I

955
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:54,720
Speaker 1: know that one Grand Prix, Sphere will have a prime

956
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 1: position along the circuit to showcase the Exosphere to a

957
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: global audience in person and on TV. They'll have planned

958
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: takeovers of the Exosphere for race related content, activations, and advertising.

959
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: It's also gonna display a wide range of artistic and

960
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: branded content daily from rituals such as Sunrise and Sunset whatever. Okay,

961
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 1: this is all their stuff anyway, So we know, so

962
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:22,799
Speaker 1: you two, Then we've got Postcard from Earth, and then

963
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: we've got the Formula one Grand Prix, And so the

964
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: Grand Prix is not gonna go inside, but it's gonna

965
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 1: be around it. So I think Taylor Swift eventually would

966
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:35,839
Speaker 1: probably like to sell out that space. This is also owned,

967
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 1: by the way, by MSG Madison Square Garden. You know,

968
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if they go by that anymore, but

969
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 1: they owned the Forum in Los Angeles. Well actually do

970
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:50,239
Speaker 1: they still? They might not MSG the Forum. It's the

971
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:54,280
Speaker 1: key oh Clippers, Yeah, they purchased it. Okay, so the Clippers. Okay, anyway,

972
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:56,840
Speaker 1: disregard that part. I think MSG owned it for a

973
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,359
Speaker 1: little bit. But they own you know, Madison Square Garden

974
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:01,880
Speaker 1: in New York City. And of course now this sphere.

975
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 1: So and they also have in Los Angeles in Burbank

976
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 1: by the airport, they've got a mini sphere where they're

977
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 1: taking like creative types in Hollywood to do some of

978
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 1: the programming, to like experience some of it on a

979
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: small scale, so like people can figure out, you know,

980
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: what they can do with this stuff. All right, good question, Mark,

981
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 1: But we know the answer to that one, okay. So

982
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 1: I said before the break that I'm going to tell

983
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: you what to do if you lose an air tag.

984
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 1: So I had someone from my work, a colleague, come

985
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 1: up to me and he said, Rich, we found a

986
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: cat and it had an air tag on it. What

987
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 1: do I do. We scanned it and it doesn't have

988
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 1: any information. It has a serial number and the phone

989
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,799
Speaker 1: numbers blocked out, and I said, yes, the person that

990
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 1: lost this cat needs to mark this air tag is lost.

991
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 1: So if you lose an air tag, the first thing

992
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 1: you need to do is go into your app on

993
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: your iPhone called find My Okay. You open it up,

994
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: you go to your items, You tap it and it

995
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: says lost mode. You tap lost mode, which I already

996
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 1: have a name for one of mine. But when you

997
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 1: tap lost mode, you can put in your phone number

998
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 1: and a message. Put in that information as soon as possible.

999
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 1: Otherwise someone will find this air tag and they can't

1000
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 1: do anything with it. So they if you have an

1001
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:16,360
Speaker 1: air tag on your pet and someone finds it, unless

1002
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 1: you mark it as lost mode, they will not be

1003
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 1: able to do anything with it. If you find an

1004
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,360
Speaker 1: air tag, you tap your phone to the top of

1005
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:25,800
Speaker 1: it to bring up the information on that air tag.

1006
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 1: It's got NFC inside. Do that first. You're listening to

1007
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:41,399
Speaker 1: rich on Tech Prime Day coming up next, Welcome back

1008
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 1: to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging out with

1009
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:47,760
Speaker 1: you talking technology and joining me now is Jacob Palmer

1010
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 1: of Best Reviews dot Com. Jacob, thanks so much for

1011
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: joining me.

1012
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 11: Thanks thanks for having me.

1013
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 1: All Right, So Amazon Prime Day is happening this year

1014
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:59,839
Speaker 1: starting July eleventh at three am Eastern. Prime members will

1015
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:02,799
Speaker 1: have forty eight hours to get some deals. Amazon is

1016
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: promising more deals than any past Prime Day. Yeah, do

1017
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 1: we agree with that?

1018
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 11: Yeah? I definitely think that that's going to be the case.

1019
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 11: Are you going to see anything groundbreaking and completely new

1020
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 11: and fresh? I mean, that's going to be remained to

1021
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 11: be seen. But they're getting more brands, they're getting more

1022
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:21,399
Speaker 11: people bought in on it. They're just making the event

1023
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:23,919
Speaker 11: bigger every year. So I have no reason to doubt

1024
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 11: Amazon on that one whatsoever.

1025
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:27,320
Speaker 1: Okay, so tell me what you do at Best Reviews.

1026
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 11: At Best Reviews, we do product recommendations for people to

1027
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 11: make sure that they're purchasing process is as simple as possible.

1028
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 11: So we do the testing, We consult with experts. We

1029
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 11: make sure that everybody has all the information they need

1030
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:42,280
Speaker 11: to make sure they're not wasting their money.

1031
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: All right, And I should mention that Best Reviews is

1032
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:48,319
Speaker 1: owned by Nextstar, the TV company that I also work for.

1033
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 1: So let's talk about Prime Day twenty twenty three. Yeah,

1034
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:55,319
Speaker 1: every year, Amazon sort of promises bigger and better, but

1035
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:58,839
Speaker 1: the bottom line remains, people shop a lot on this day,

1036
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: but it's not their biggest shopping day of the year.

1037
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 2: That's correct.

1038
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 11: So basically, when you look at the shopping calendar, the

1039
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 11: biggest days are going to be the ones you'd expect.

1040
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 11: It's gonna be Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Usually Cyber

1041
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 11: Monday is a little bit bigger than Black Friday. But

1042
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 11: then I mean when it comes to Amazon and what

1043
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 11: they're looking at, Prime Day is right after those that

1044
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 11: big Thanksgiving weekend, So it's the biggest shopping event during

1045
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:24,839
Speaker 11: the summer. And what we've been seeing is is that

1046
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 11: Amazon is leading the way on making it a shopping

1047
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 11: event across the board. So other retailers are getting involved.

1048
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 11: They're trying to price match, they're trying to get as

1049
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 11: much of the tailwind as they can out of this

1050
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,879
Speaker 11: event that Amazon is basically just created out of thin air,

1051
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:41,839
Speaker 11: you know, a little bit less than ten years ago.

1052
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:44,920
Speaker 1: So it's interesting that you mentioned the other retailers. So

1053
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 1: many of us are Amazon centric. If you have that

1054
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: Prime membership, and I'm sure the numbers show this, you

1055
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:52,840
Speaker 1: probably only go to Amazon when you're shopping online. For

1056
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 1: the most part, should we be cross checking prices anywhere

1057
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:58,319
Speaker 1: else or does Amazon do that for us?

1058
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 11: Amazon does it for you? To be straight to be

1059
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 11: straightforward with you, There's people that have their own personal preferences,

1060
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 11: you know, maybe they have a rewards card or something.

1061
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:07,839
Speaker 11: But for the most part, at Best of Youse, we're

1062
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 11: looking for the ideal customer experience. And what does that mean.

1063
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 11: It means the lowest price possible. It means the fastest shipping,

1064
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,359
Speaker 11: and it means no hidden costs, and so really when

1065
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 11: you boil it down to that, Amazon's gonna win most

1066
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 11: of the time. So even though you're going to see

1067
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:27,240
Speaker 11: different retailers doing price matching, it's going to be pretty

1068
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 11: rare for them to be beating the price. What I

1069
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 11: will say though, is especially over Prime Day, what we're

1070
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:36,840
Speaker 11: looking out for is Walmart will usually pick a few items,

1071
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 11: same with Best Buy, that they will make a huge

1072
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 11: deal out of and say, you're not finding these deals

1073
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 11: anywhere else. But at the end of the day, even

1074
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:46,760
Speaker 11: though they're rolling those out and they are huge deals.

1075
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 11: Amazon is a little bit tricky in terms of just

1076
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 11: price matching and saying, you know, bringing the people back

1077
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:53,920
Speaker 11: to their site. That's kind of their mo as they're

1078
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 11: always finding a way to bring people back to their site.

1079
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 1: It is interesting whenever I look at another price somewhere else,

1080
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 1: I'm always googling to say what the return policy is.

1081
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 1: And even if I shop in a store, like if

1082
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: I'm at the mall and I'm buying something at a

1083
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 1: store I haven't shopped at, or even I have shopped at,

1084
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:12,279
Speaker 1: I will always ask at the checkout what is the

1085
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,919
Speaker 1: return policy, just to keep that fresh in my head,

1086
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:17,840
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, even H and M Clothing Company

1087
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 1: or Best Buy. You know, because sometimes they change it.

1088
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:22,279
Speaker 1: You think thirty days as a standard, it may not

1089
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:23,840
Speaker 1: be maybe fourteen.

1090
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 11: You know, it is a big thing. Amazon made news

1091
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:31,279
Speaker 11: for changing their return policy recently, but even with that

1092
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,320
Speaker 11: in mind, they still have one of the better return

1093
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 11: policies that you'll find out there the in store places.

1094
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:40,879
Speaker 11: Because of how hard it's been to get customers into

1095
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 11: retail space, they have been a little bit better, but

1096
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 11: you know, Amazon used to be the absolute world leader

1097
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 11: in terms of no questions asked, you can return. They've

1098
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,919
Speaker 11: tightened it up to an extent, but in terms of

1099
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 11: that online only storefront, they're still the best, but you

1100
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 11: can find some pretty solid return policies in store, or

1101
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 11: just because of how badly the best buys the targets,

1102
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,240
Speaker 11: the walmarts want you to come through their doors.

1103
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:08,320
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some of the deals that Amazon doesn't

1104
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:10,840
Speaker 1: really tell you every deal in advance, which makes it tough.

1105
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: But they're promoting seventy five up to seventy five percent

1106
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 1: off of select Amazon devices, which of course includes TVs,

1107
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 1: Fire TV sticks, the Echo shows, the Ring cameras, and

1108
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 1: TCL smart TVs, also kindlescribe, and it's interesting they're mentioning

1109
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 1: that their brand new Firemax eleven tablet will be discounted,

1110
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: which is pretty rare because that's a brand new product.

1111
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 1: And then of course they go into all of the

1112
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 1: different apparel, the Amazon exclusive clothing, Sony headphones, eye Robot, Bissel, toys, dolls,

1113
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 1: so basically everything. And I always say with people on

1114
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:52,440
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime Day, if what you're looking for is on sale,

1115
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 1: it's a good day.

1116
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 11: Yeah, And that's basically how it goes. And you know,

1117
00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 11: I think when you look at that Amazon list of products,

1118
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 11: there's ones that I would love to advise people to get.

1119
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 11: You know, the ring doorbells are fantastic. They test among

1120
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 11: the absolute best. You know, I robot is always solid.

1121
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 11: They aren't exactly an Amazon brand quite yet. They probably

1122
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 11: will be very soon, but not quite yet. Those are

1123
00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 11: some of the best out of the ones you've listed

1124
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 11: in terms of areas where I would advise people to

1125
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 11: maybe shop around and reconsider. The Amazon fire TVs are

1126
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 11: you know, they're really solid. You get a huge bang

1127
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 11: for the buck. They're not going to last as long

1128
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 11: as a Samsung would or you know, a Sony something

1129
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 11: like that. So in our testing lab we did have

1130
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 11: a lot of complaints around that. So you need to

1131
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 11: kind of know which ones are worth looking at and

1132
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 11: which ones aren't. And I would say there's a lot

1133
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 11: of Amazon products that are at some of our absolute favors.

1134
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 11: The kin describe that you mentioned is another one that

1135
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 11: we had a college student test and they were just

1136
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 11: enamored with it. They thought it was fantastic. So there's

1137
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 11: a lot of really great ones, and you want to

1138
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:55,919
Speaker 11: make sure that you're looking out for, you know, those

1139
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 11: really solid top of the line products, which they have

1140
00:58:58,200 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 11: a lot of. But that's one of the things about

1141
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 11: when you talk about it getting bigger, you talk about

1142
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 11: them selling absolutely everything that's true to the extent that

1143
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 11: you want to be able to cut through the noise

1144
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 11: and get the best products out of that huge mass,

1145
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 11: because it can be kind of tricky with how they're

1146
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 11: coming and going, how it's basically everything. How do you

1147
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 11: know is it a good day for me? Even though

1148
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 11: I've been wanting this thing? And that's where you know,

1149
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 11: I think Best Reviews provides a lot of value for

1150
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 11: people because we cut through that noise and can provide

1151
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 11: you with that perspective that we get from testing these

1152
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 11: things in our lab.

1153
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 1: Give me a little perspective on how you test things.

1154
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 11: Yeah, we love to go side by side. So you

1155
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 11: know a recent one that we really did a deep

1156
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:40,919
Speaker 11: dive onto the robot vacuums and we got models from

1157
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 11: I Robot, Ufie, Shark, Robo Rock, you know, kind of

1158
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:48,000
Speaker 11: across the board, and then we will put them into

1159
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 11: real life scenarios. But we try to do that with

1160
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 11: a scientific spin on it. What we really advise people

1161
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 11: to do is if you have that one thing in

1162
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 11: your head. So our company started because our founder needed

1163
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 11: a cordless d We say go to Best Reviews dot

1164
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 11: Com and search for a cordless drill, and you're gonna

1165
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 11: find our testing results. You're gonna find how we looked

1166
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 11: at it. You're gonna find all the models we looked at.

1167
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 11: And at the end of the day, we lay it

1168
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:13,120
Speaker 11: out for you in a very simple way where five

1169
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 11: are across. Because the best of the best isn't for

1170
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 11: everybody all the time, We're also gonna tell you this

1171
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 11: is the best for a beginner, this is the best

1172
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:21,320
Speaker 11: for an expert, and so on. So we lay it

1173
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 11: out for you to be as simple as possible, and

1174
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 11: so you're not wasting your time just scrolling and then

1175
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:27,919
Speaker 11: eventually giving up. And now a week later we needed

1176
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 11: that cordless drill. You remember, oh I didn't even buy

1177
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 11: that cordless drill.

1178
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 1: And my advice every year, and you may show this

1179
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 1: advice is to put the stuff in your cart that

1180
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 1: you want now.

1181
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:38,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, And that's the best way to do it. And

1182
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:40,960
Speaker 11: what I always say is number one, go to Best

1183
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 11: Reviews dot Com, slash Prime. But then when you're looking

1184
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 11: through and you're seeing what we're recommending, especially with the

1185
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:49,360
Speaker 11: early deals, those are good deals, but a lot of

1186
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 11: the times they kind of ratchet it up during the

1187
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 11: event and they'll be a little bit even more discounted.

1188
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 11: And so that's why it's important that you put it

1189
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:57,920
Speaker 11: in your cart, because you put it in your cart,

1190
01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 11: and then on the day of the event, you can

1191
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 11: check back in your cart and see exactly how much

1192
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 11: it's off. You know, I've said it to you Rich

1193
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 11: a few times, but Best review is what we're looking for.

1194
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 11: Twenty to twenty five percent offer more is what we

1195
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 11: determined to be a good deal, especially as it's more expensive.

1196
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 11: You know, a cheaper item, you want to see that

1197
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 11: forty fifty percent off. But when you're looking for electronics

1198
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:19,240
Speaker 11: twenty five, you know, thirty percent off or more. That's

1199
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:20,960
Speaker 11: usually what you want to jump at. And like I

1200
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 11: said earlier, prices are going up and down, availability is

1201
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 11: going in and out. You want to be checking in

1202
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 11: and by putting things in your cart early and then

1203
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 11: checking back, it gives you that tool and it kind

1204
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:33,040
Speaker 11: of pays off for that little bit of preparation that

1205
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 11: you do.

1221

01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:27,320

01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 7: difficult to do stuff sometimes. So most of the stuff

1232
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:55,520
Speaker 7: you can do in voice.

1233
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:58,480
Speaker 1: Control and are fantastic for that.

1234
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, so my question is if I get a

1235
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:06,600
Speaker 7: new one, am I gonna have to reload all the passwords,

1236
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 7: sort of apps and all that stuff settings or canny

1237
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 7: that get transferred over.

1238
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 1: That's a great question. I know that the apps will

1239
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:20,280
Speaker 1: get transferred over. They don't necessarily download, but they'll be

1240
01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:24,440
Speaker 1: there and you just one click. But the log ins themselves.

1241
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 1: As far as I know, and I've logged into a

1242
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 1: bunch of these, I actually have the firetvqube the latest one,

1243
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 1: which is great. By the way, I've not seen a

1244
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 1: scenario where they log into the apps. So the only

1245
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 1: password that I am aware of that the fire TV

1246
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,480
Speaker 1: can save to your Amazon account at this point is

1247
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 1: your Wi Fi password, so it can do that. But otherwise,

1248
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 1: once you log in, it's gonna it's gonna give you

1249
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 1: the app, it's gonna present the apps that you have

1250
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:55,360
Speaker 1: in your library, but you will have to log into

1251
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:58,720
Speaker 1: those apps again. Does that present kind of a challenge

1252
01:03:58,840 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 1: or an issue?

1253
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:03,160
Speaker 7: I can get some assistance, but the problem is they're

1254
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:05,280
Speaker 7: all kind of spread out in different places. I've got

1255
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:08,840
Speaker 7: to get a consolidated list you have them all together.

1256
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:12,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's definitely it's not ideal, but I will tell

1257
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 1: you this, Paul, the majority of the mainstream apps have

1258
01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:19,840
Speaker 1: gotten a lot easier with logins. Now imagine I test

1259
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:21,920
Speaker 1: this stuff for a living, like every day I'm logging

1260
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:25,760
Speaker 1: into something, and the biggest apps they've done a couple

1261
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 1: of things. Number One, they have a QR code on

1262
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:31,080
Speaker 1: the screen. So there's three ways to sort of log in.

1263
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 1: The old way, which is just the most annoying way,

1264
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 1: which is just hey, type in your password and use

1265
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 1: your name, and that's really annoying on a TV screen

1266
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 1: because you're flipping through letter by letter. You can download

1267
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:47,040
Speaker 1: the Amazon Fire TV app to your phone, so at

1268
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 1: least you have the keyboard on your phone to help

1269
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:51,800
Speaker 1: you log in that way. That's the first way, that's

1270
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 1: the most annoying. The second way is the QR code,

1271
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:58,120
Speaker 1: and this I've seen more and more where you will

1272
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,920
Speaker 1: scan a QR code on your screen with your phone

1273
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 1: and in some cases it'll link up your account either

1274
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:08,479
Speaker 1: through the app or you can log in on your phone,

1275
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 1: which is easier to manipulate than the on screen typing.

1276
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:15,439
Speaker 1: And then the third way, which is the absolute easiest way,

1277
01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:18,600
Speaker 1: and I've only seen this on the Disney app, and

1278
01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:24,000
Speaker 1: I believe it was, oh maybe the new the Max app,

1279
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:26,320
Speaker 1: where all you have to do is be on the

1280
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 1: same Wi Fi, have the app installed on your smartphone

1281
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 1: and on your TV, and when you open it. When

1282
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:34,520
Speaker 1: you open the app on your TV, it says, hey,

1283
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 1: open the app on your phone, and as long as

1284
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:38,800
Speaker 1: you're on the same Wi Fi network, it somehow finds

1285
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:41,320
Speaker 1: that you're the same person with the same app and

1286
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:43,560
Speaker 1: it will just log you in on the TV. So

1287
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 1: those are the three methods I've seen for logging in

1288
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:50,240
Speaker 1: on the TV. Oh the other one is the activation code.

1289
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:52,680
Speaker 1: So sometimes it'll just when you open up an app

1290
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 1: like a YouTube TV or something, you'll say, hey, type

1291
01:05:56,320 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 1: in this code on your phone. Go to YouTubeTV dot com,

1292
01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:01,440
Speaker 1: slash activate and type in this six digit code. That'll

1293
01:06:01,560 --> 01:06:05,200
Speaker 1: activate it as well. So it's gotten easier, it's gotten

1294
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:07,680
Speaker 1: a little bit more streamlined. But no, as far as

1295
01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 1: I know, the Amazon fireTV upgrade process will save your

1296
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 1: Wi Fi password, but no other password there, So that

1297
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 1: is that's gonna be a little bit tricky. You're gonna

1298
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:20,080
Speaker 1: have to get someone to help you to do that.

1299
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:23,040
Speaker 1: But the good news is some of these apps that

1300
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 1: you download on there will be easier to log in

1301
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:27,400
Speaker 1: as long as you have them logged in on your phone.

1302
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:30,400
Speaker 1: So I would say, find the passwords, get them all

1303
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:32,920
Speaker 1: in one place, call the friend to help you out,

1304
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:35,800
Speaker 1: and have your phone handy as well, so that you

1305
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:38,040
Speaker 1: can help log into some of those apps through the phone.

1306
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 1: Great question, Paul, and you're right. The fireTV is fantastic

1307
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:47,440
Speaker 1: for the voice support. So the fireTV Cube, once you

1308
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 1: hook it up to your TV, it's almost entirely voice controlled.

1309
01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:54,880
Speaker 1: And right now, wow, I'm looking at Amazon Prime. It's

1310
01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:57,160
Speaker 1: usually one hundred and forty bucks. Right now it's on

1311
01:06:57,240 --> 01:07:00,919
Speaker 1: sale for one oh nine one ten thirty dollars off

1312
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:02,960
Speaker 1: and this is a pretty new product, so that's that's

1313
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 1: a pretty good price. And once you have this thing,

1314
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 1: I've been trying all the different ways of asking the

1315
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:11,520
Speaker 1: voice commands and it works with a lot of the

1316
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:13,840
Speaker 1: popular apps. So you can say, like the other day,

1317
01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:17,000
Speaker 1: I literally said to it, resume watching I think we

1318
01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:20,080
Speaker 1: were watching Platonic on Apple on Apple TV Plus. I

1319
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:22,520
Speaker 1: said resume watching whatever we were watching, and it just

1320
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:24,760
Speaker 1: came right to the point where we were watching it

1321
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 1: last and resumed And it can do it also with

1322
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 1: channels and music. I mean, it's really really good. So

1323
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:35,480
Speaker 1: if you want that hands free TV experience, the Fire

1324
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:37,480
Speaker 1: TV Cube is a way to go. And I'm not

1325
01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 1: talking like I know the Apple TV can do the

1326
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 1: series stuff, but this is real, Like you don't even

1327
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:45,600
Speaker 1: have to turn on your TV. It will whatever you

1328
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 1: say to this thing, it will just take it from there.

1329
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:52,440
Speaker 1: It's pretty pretty good. Thanks for the call, Paul, appreciate it.

1330
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 1: All right. Couple things I wanted to tell you about here.

1331
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:57,840
Speaker 1: Number one, since we're on the topic of movies and

1332
01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:01,560
Speaker 1: TV shows, the Super Mario Brothers movie. If you like

1333
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 1: video games at all, I saw it in the theaters.

1334
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:06,920
Speaker 1: It was great. It's a fun little movie. It's nothing special,

1335
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 1: but it was fun. This will be on Peacock starting

1336
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 1: August third, so that is the date a lot of

1337
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:17,240
Speaker 1: people are wondering about and they finally have a date

1338
01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:19,760
Speaker 1: for that movie. So Super Mario Brothers Movie will be

1339
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 1: on Peacock on August third. Hopefully you can get I

1340
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:27,880
Speaker 1: don't know if you can still get a free trial.

1341
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:30,439
Speaker 1: A lot of these services you can get a free

1342
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:33,760
Speaker 1: trial of Peacock was giving users a free trial for

1343
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:38,639
Speaker 1: a while. I'm not sure if that's the case anymore, Yeah,

1344
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:41,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, but that's something to look out for. Always.

1345
01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:44,559
Speaker 1: Google like free trial plus the name of the service

1346
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:46,439
Speaker 1: to see if you can get it. Someone told me

1347
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:48,080
Speaker 1: they were sign up for Apple TV. They want to

1348
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:49,560
Speaker 1: pay for us, so don't pay for it. Look in

1349
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:52,599
Speaker 1: the Target app, look in the best Buy app. Sometimes

1350
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:56,760
Speaker 1: they give three months free on those services. The other

1351
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:01,240
Speaker 1: We've had Jared Numan on the show before. He does

1352
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:07,240
Speaker 1: a newsletter that is really good called Advisorator, and he

1353
01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:10,440
Speaker 1: at the end of each at the end of each newsletter,

1354
01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:13,840
Speaker 1: he will tell you like which services are streaming for free,

1355
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:16,160
Speaker 1: and what are the apps and everything, So definitely sign

1356
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 1: up for that Advisorator dot com, a d v I,

1357
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:24,120
Speaker 1: s O R A t o R Advisorator dot com.

1358
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 1: And at the end of the newsletter, I'll say, like,

1359
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 1: here's all the free streaming codes right now. And Paramount

1360
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 1: Plus has been free for like since it launched. You

1361
01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:33,880
Speaker 1: can literally just put in a different code every time

1362
01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:36,320
Speaker 1: it expires and get it for free. So I'll put

1363
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:38,840
Speaker 1: the link on the website. Rich on tech dot tv,

1364
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:44,960
Speaker 1: this was pretty cool. Shazam can identify songs in TikTok

1365
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:49,719
Speaker 1: Instagram and YouTube. So Shazam's been around forever. You're pretty

1366
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:52,200
Speaker 1: familiar with how it works. Every song has a fingerprint.

1367
01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:55,160
Speaker 1: It listens to that fingerprint. It identifies a song. Well,

1368
01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:57,960
Speaker 1: if you're listening, if you're on TikTok or Instagram or

1369
01:09:58,000 --> 01:09:59,679
Speaker 1: YouTube and you hear a song that's just like wow,

1370
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:02,719
Speaker 1: what is that? And somehow the information's not on the screen,

1371
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:05,200
Speaker 1: or maybe you just want to remember this. All you

1372
01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:08,880
Speaker 1: have to do is open up Shazam, tap the blue button,

1373
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:11,920
Speaker 1: and switch back to the app that was playing the song,

1374
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:15,400
Speaker 1: and it will figure out the song. This is a

1375
01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:19,240
Speaker 1: new feature according to mac Rumors, but there's actually an

1376
01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:22,560
Speaker 1: easier way to do this. So if you have an iPhone,

1377
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 1: you can swipe down from the right upper right hand

1378
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:29,320
Speaker 1: corner to bring up what's called the Control Center, and

1379
01:10:29,439 --> 01:10:33,160
Speaker 1: you can add a Shazam button to that. So if

1380
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:37,880
Speaker 1: you go into settings, you can add the Shazam button

1381
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:40,920
Speaker 1: to your control center. So just go to Settings, Control

1382
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:44,840
Speaker 1: Center and it says music recognition. It's a little Shazam icon.

1383
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:46,720
Speaker 1: Apple bought Shazam a couple of years ago. If you

1384
01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:49,600
Speaker 1: didn't realize that, but if you're in any sort of

1385
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:52,639
Speaker 1: app and you want to hear what's playing, you just

1386
01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:55,160
Speaker 1: swipe down from the right hand corner, just tap that

1387
01:10:55,240 --> 01:10:58,280
Speaker 1: Shazam button. It will recognize what's playing and it will

1388
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 1: put a little notification on your screen and we'll also

1389
01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:04,479
Speaker 1: save that inside the app. Again, all on the website

Speaker 1: and doctor Renee Doua is going to join me to

1407
01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:06,880
Speaker 1: explain how her new app called Together can take your

1408
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:10,800
Speaker 1: vitals with justice. Selfie and if I didn't try this,

1409
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:13,400
Speaker 1: I wouldn't believe it. But it's the first of its kind.

1410
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:17,280
Speaker 1: You aim your smartphone at your face and it will

1411
01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:22,360
Speaker 1: show you your blood oxygen level, your pulse, your what

1412
01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:26,200
Speaker 1: else does it do? Your respiration, your blood pressure. It's

1413
01:12:26,240 --> 01:12:30,759
Speaker 1: all pretty amazing. So again, that will be doctor Renee Doua.

1414
01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 1: She's actually the same person who invented the doctor on

1415
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:39,360
Speaker 1: demand app called Heel, which got quite popular during the pandemic.

1416
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:42,920
Speaker 1: She will join us to talk about that app. Triple

1417
01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:45,760
Speaker 1: eight Rich one O one eight eight eight seven four

1418
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:50,160
Speaker 1: to two four to one zero one. Hello at richon

1419
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:54,960
Speaker 1: tech dot TV. Is the email address. Scott is in

1420
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:56,360
Speaker 1: Costa Mesa. Scott, what's up?

1421
01:12:56,560 --> 01:12:57,120
Speaker 8: Hey, Rich?

1422
01:12:57,840 --> 01:13:00,960
Speaker 13: Well, before he gets my question. While I was on hold,

1423
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:03,920
Speaker 13: I was thinking of other names for the sphere. Oh,

1424
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:08,560
Speaker 13: the globe, the bubble, dot, get around in the round.

1425
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:11,759
Speaker 1: In the round. Interesting. That reminds me of a circus

1426
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:14,639
Speaker 1: act though, you know those things that they circle around

1427
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 1: it in the motorcycles exactly.

1428
01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:18,560
Speaker 13: Yes, I was thinking planet, but that's too close to

1429
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:21,000
Speaker 13: Planet Hollywood. And then I like sphere.

1430
01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:24,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just tough to say sphere because if you

1431
01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:27,240
Speaker 1: if you say it though anyway, but that's what's gonna

1432
01:13:27,240 --> 01:13:28,760
Speaker 1: be called. So it's fine, we got it.

1433
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:30,280
Speaker 13: Come to the sphere and have a ball.

1434
01:13:31,479 --> 01:13:32,040
Speaker 1: There you go.

1435
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:36,000
Speaker 13: Well, so you're rich on tech, Well I'm Scott under Rock.

1436
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:40,160
Speaker 13: I'm not technical savvy in any way, but and I

1437
01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:42,240
Speaker 13: know you're a tech show, but this is a question

1438
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:48,439
Speaker 13: about technical but also financial. And I was wondering, like,

1439
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 13: what the stock price has been for Meta with the

1440
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:53,080
Speaker 13: release of Threads.

1441
01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:57,720
Speaker 1: Hmmm, well, let's see. Let's look up Meta.

1442
01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:00,439
Speaker 13: I would do that myself, but I'm just I've got

1443
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:02,880
Speaker 13: the only technical thing I have is a lane.

1444
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:07,280
Speaker 1: Well, the stock price for Meta right now is two

1445
01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety dollars and fifty three cents up a dollar, sorry,

1446
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:14,439
Speaker 1: up five sixty two over the past five days. That's

1447
01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:18,559
Speaker 1: two percent. So and if you look at this little

1448
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:24,760
Speaker 1: graph here, well, it looks like I'm not a financial guy,

1449
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:27,080
Speaker 1: but it looks like it's if I had to say something,

1450
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:30,200
Speaker 1: it looks like it's down in after hours trading, but

1451
01:14:30,200 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 1: apparently it's you know, over the past five days, it's

1452
01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:37,240
Speaker 1: been up. So here's the thing. Threads actually does not

1453
01:14:37,400 --> 01:14:40,599
Speaker 1: have any advertising on it right now, and so I

1454
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:43,559
Speaker 1: think that people are. You know, they see the big

1455
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:46,800
Speaker 1: picture of Meta doing really well with this because it's

1456
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:49,479
Speaker 1: one more avenue for them to collect information and data

1457
01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:52,880
Speaker 1: about a wide range of people. But at the same time,

1458
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:55,080
Speaker 1: they're not actively selling ads, so it's not going to

1459
01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:58,360
Speaker 1: contribute to the bottom line right away, but ads will

1460
01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:01,800
Speaker 1: definitely be in the future your plans of course. And

1461
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:03,759
Speaker 1: a couple more things. I know we talked about threads

1462
01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:05,920
Speaker 1: a lot, but this has really come on the scene

1463
01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:09,920
Speaker 1: very very quickly. But if you look at the threads

1464
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:14,200
Speaker 1: iOS listing on the App Store, a lot of people

1465
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:18,000
Speaker 1: are looking at the privacy they call it, like the

1466
01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:24,640
Speaker 1: privacy nutrition facts for iOS and the data that Instagram

1467
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 1: the apps developer can collect on you and can link

1468
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:32,479
Speaker 1: to your identity. Is the following on threads health and

1469
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:38,879
Speaker 1: fitness data, financial info, contact info, user content, browsing history,

1470
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:47,639
Speaker 1: usage data, diagnostics, purchases, location contacts, search history, identifiers, sensitive info,

1471
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:51,240
Speaker 1: and other data. It's the kitchen sink of all the

1472
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:55,599
Speaker 1: data on your phone that Meta wants to suck up

1473
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:59,559
Speaker 1: and put into their advertising system. Now we do know

1474
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:03,960
Speaker 1: that app and Meta are frenemies because Apple came out

1475
01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:07,280
Speaker 1: with this thing where if you've ever installed an app,

1476
01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:11,160
Speaker 1: and it says ask app not to track, So most

1477
01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:13,680
Speaker 1: people say, yeah, I don't want you tracking me. And

1478
01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:16,040
Speaker 1: that took like ten billion dollars off the bottom line

1479
01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:19,920
Speaker 1: for Meta because they can't have the same access to

1480
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:24,200
Speaker 1: data that they had in the past of people using

1481
01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:27,360
Speaker 1: iPhones before they can get everything they wanted. And then

1482
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:30,120
Speaker 1: Apple said no, let's kind of silo these apps a

1483
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:32,640
Speaker 1: little bit more and also let's ask people if they

1484
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:39,320
Speaker 1: want to share. So that was a big one. App

1485
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:45,240
Speaker 1: tracking transparency, that's what they call it ATT App tracking transparency.

1486
01:16:46,040 --> 01:16:49,280
Speaker 1: By the way, if you want to enable this on

1487
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 1: your phone, which I'm sure you should or you have,

1488
01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:57,479
Speaker 1: you go to settings, scroll down to privacy, so there's

1489
01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 1: that actual setting for privacy says I've seen security, and

1490
01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:06,519
Speaker 1: then you can tap on tracking and I actually I

1491
01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:10,760
Speaker 1: actually have this turned off fully, so apps can't even

1492
01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:13,519
Speaker 1: ask me if they want if they want to track me,

1493
01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:16,559
Speaker 1: but it says allow apps to request to track, and

1494
01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:19,759
Speaker 1: I just say no. Across the board, the less data

1495
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:25,759
Speaker 1: the better. Let's see. Uh, let's go too, Oh my gosh,

1496
01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:29,120
Speaker 1: so many questions here. Let's go to Chris in Miami. Chris,

1497
01:17:29,160 --> 01:17:32,400
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich Hey, well you, sir, I'm doing fantastic.

1498
01:17:32,439 --> 01:17:32,920
Speaker 1: What's up?

1499
01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:36,000
Speaker 12: I love listening to that you comment you just made

1500
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:36,760
Speaker 12: a few minutes ago.

1501
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:37,400
Speaker 3: That was apps.

1502
01:17:37,439 --> 01:17:39,200
Speaker 12: I was media other night, like, you know, I want

1503
01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:42,000
Speaker 12: to download this app. It's asking for the dog one

1504
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:44,680
Speaker 12: kitchen sink. It wants to know when I'm walking out

1505
01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:46,879
Speaker 12: the door, when I'm having a salad at Whole Foods.

1506
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:49,800
Speaker 12: And I'm like, I don't I have that same thing

1507
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:52,240
Speaker 12: you do. I don't allow apps to track me. But

1508
01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:54,400
Speaker 12: you look at the list of things that they want

1509
01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:56,720
Speaker 12: from you from just downloading an app, and I'm like,

1510
01:17:56,760 --> 01:17:59,120
Speaker 12: You've got to be kidding me, right, I use people

1511
01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:01,800
Speaker 12: for real. And I'm like, I heard you talk about that,

1512
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:05,280
Speaker 12: and I was like, that's exactly how I feel most

1513
01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:07,320
Speaker 12: of the time. I don't download a lot of apps

1514
01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:07,840
Speaker 12: because of.

1515
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:11,080
Speaker 1: Such Yeah, well I download them all and I just

1516
01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:14,320
Speaker 1: you know, you do what you can do. So I

1517
01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:18,680
Speaker 1: definitely definitely say no when I can. Sure, how can

1518
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:19,040
Speaker 1: I help?

1519
01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:21,599
Speaker 12: Well, I'll make this quick because I think I called.

1520
01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:25,240
Speaker 12: I called a couple of weeks ago, but my last

1521
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:29,280
Speaker 12: call to you ring Doorbell. So went out bought this

1522
01:18:29,320 --> 01:18:33,519
Speaker 12: second generation ring Doorbell Pro. Now there's another little issue here,

1523
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:35,320
Speaker 12: and I just I just wanted to clear it with you,

1524
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:38,080
Speaker 12: is that the condo that I live in has a

1525
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:41,880
Speaker 12: peep hole. Okay, so if I remove that device two

1526
01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:44,760
Speaker 12: screws and a peep hole screw, remove it and then

1527
01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:46,800
Speaker 12: install the Ring Doorbell.

1528
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 3: Pro, it's fine.

1529
01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:51,400
Speaker 12: It's got really great camera, the most advanced camera. The

1530
01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:53,200
Speaker 12: problem is it's not on the front of the door,

1531
01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:56,080
Speaker 12: but on the reverse side of the door, where there's

1532
01:18:56,200 --> 01:18:59,840
Speaker 12: now three holes. There, there's three areas that once accommodated

1533
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:04,360
Speaker 12: these particular areas like the screws, and that's.

1534
01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:04,760
Speaker 3: Not good for me.

1535
01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:08,360
Speaker 12: So if I go, if I downgrade to the one

1536
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:12,599
Speaker 12: with the peepole, such as all of it okay, now

1537
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:15,920
Speaker 12: downgrading the quality of the camera, which I don't want

1538
01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:19,080
Speaker 12: to do because apparently in this one here that's battery operated,

1539
01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:22,320
Speaker 12: it's one of their most advanced camera. I just figured

1540
01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:23,200
Speaker 12: I'm going to toss.

1541
01:19:23,080 --> 01:19:26,880
Speaker 1: This to Rich So you're are you So you're worried

1542
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 1: about what aspect of the peopole cam the quality of it?

1543
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:31,880
Speaker 3: Well?

1544
01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:34,719
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean I have the Ring Doorbell second generation

1545
01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:37,240
Speaker 12: Pro battery operated one which I haven't yet hooked up

1546
01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:40,000
Speaker 12: a charge of battery. But that's going to be an

1547
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:42,439
Speaker 12: easy install right, But the problem is is that I

1548
01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:44,960
Speaker 12: can't use the peepole suppose I don't want to. But

1549
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:48,000
Speaker 12: then isn't there a kit to close that off from them?

1550
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:50,160
Speaker 12: They say no, So you've got three holes in the

1551
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:50,960
Speaker 12: backside of your door.

1552
01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:54,360
Speaker 1: Well yeah, I mean for the now if you're talking,

1553
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:56,040
Speaker 1: so you're trying to figure out if you should just

1554
01:19:56,040 --> 01:19:58,160
Speaker 1: go with the peepole cam because it's going to cover

1555
01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:00,559
Speaker 1: those holes on the backside and it's meant to do this.

1556
01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:03,800
Speaker 12: Yeah, but it's a lower quality camera though, isn't it

1557
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:05,000
Speaker 12: like a book twenty nine?

1558
01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:07,759
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. Okay, so this is people Cam

1559
01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:11,519
Speaker 1: is HD. The people Cam is h HD. The Video

1560
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:15,719
Speaker 1: Doorbell Pro. Let's see you get enhanced dual band Wi

1561
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:19,559
Speaker 1: Fi color night vision. And do they say, let's see

1562
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:22,439
Speaker 1: if we can find the specs on this camera HD

1563
01:20:22,640 --> 01:20:26,040
Speaker 1: video with night vision. So I'm not sure that the

1564
01:20:26,120 --> 01:20:31,040
Speaker 1: specs are any better, but I need to check and see. Also,

1565
01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:34,920
Speaker 1: the pro is a wired installation. So the Video Doorbell Pro,

1566
01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:38,920
Speaker 1: how would you how would you have this on your

1567
01:20:38,960 --> 01:20:39,880
Speaker 1: door if it's wired?

1568
01:20:40,720 --> 01:20:41,400
Speaker 3: It's not wired.

1569
01:20:41,439 --> 01:20:43,880
Speaker 12: The one I got is the one that is just

1570
01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:44,639
Speaker 12: has the battery.

1571
01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:48,920
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Well here's the thing. Yeah, okay, ones, I

1572
01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:52,000
Speaker 1: see it. Okay, So here's the thing. They're all okay.

1573
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:56,040
Speaker 1: The video doorbell Okay, the pro is HD, and so

1574
01:20:56,240 --> 01:20:59,559
Speaker 1: is the wired and so is the people The Video

1575
01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:02,719
Speaker 1: Doorbell Pro two is a little bit higher. It's fifteen

1576
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:06,639
Speaker 1: thirty six p HD plus. But here's the thing. You're

1577
01:21:06,680 --> 01:21:09,879
Speaker 1: talking about a condo. Aren't you in a hallway?

1578
01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:11,400
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1579
01:21:11,520 --> 01:21:14,639
Speaker 12: I have a hallway bout my dorman, a hallway around meself.

1580
01:21:14,680 --> 01:21:18,200
Speaker 1: So I don't think you need higher than HD quality

1581
01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:21,240
Speaker 1: because you're not trying to reach out to a street

1582
01:21:21,400 --> 01:21:23,200
Speaker 1: or something. People who are going to be in front

1583
01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:26,280
Speaker 1: of this are going to be a pretty close proximity.

1584
01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:29,040
Speaker 1: So I think an HD camera would be just fine

1585
01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:31,639
Speaker 1: in that case. And I think that the people cam

1586
01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:33,840
Speaker 1: is meant for this sort of application. You can use

1587
01:21:33,880 --> 01:21:36,040
Speaker 1: the other ones, but this one is going to lock

1588
01:21:36,160 --> 01:21:38,000
Speaker 1: through the door. So you've got the camera on the

1589
01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:40,000
Speaker 1: outside of the door, You've got the backside of the

1590
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:43,080
Speaker 1: battery on the inside of the door. It's a cleaner installation.

1591
01:21:43,400 --> 01:21:45,519
Speaker 1: It is what it's meant to be. And I think

1592
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:49,520
Speaker 1: in your case, Chris, because you've got an enclosed hallway

1593
01:21:49,880 --> 01:21:52,840
Speaker 1: that I'm guessing the you know, is not one hundred

1594
01:21:52,880 --> 01:21:55,600
Speaker 1: feet away or something like that. You're going to have

1595
01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:57,600
Speaker 1: a pretty smaller setup that I think is going to

1596
01:21:57,640 --> 01:21:59,120
Speaker 1: be just fine. So I would go with the people

1597
01:21:59,280 --> 01:22:02,439
Speaker 1: cam install that I have not installed that one, but

1598
01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:05,240
Speaker 1: I've seen it, and you know, it's a good solution

1599
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:07,920
Speaker 1: for someone who lives in a place that you know

1600
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:10,120
Speaker 1: you either don't want to change the door or you can't.

1601
01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:13,360
Speaker 1: You can still have the security of a Ring cam,

1602
01:22:13,720 --> 01:22:16,320
Speaker 1: but if you listen to last week's show, make sure

1603
01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:18,920
Speaker 1: it sees what you need it to see, because if

1604
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:21,920
Speaker 1: it's anything like mine, you know it's stopped recording at

1605
01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:24,599
Speaker 1: the moment I needed it to record. So that's something

1606
01:22:24,600 --> 01:22:26,880
Speaker 1: to keep in mind, is the timeout. And also one

1607
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:30,080
Speaker 1: other pro tip with these Ring video doorbell cams that

1608
01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:32,960
Speaker 1: a friend told me when I was complaining about the battery.

1609
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:35,600
Speaker 1: He said, dude, get a second battery. That way you

1610
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:38,000
Speaker 1: can just swap them instead of sitting and waiting for

1611
01:22:38,040 --> 01:22:40,680
Speaker 1: it to charge. So if you get a camera from

1612
01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:42,400
Speaker 1: Ring and you have a battery on it, just get

1613
01:22:42,439 --> 01:22:45,000
Speaker 1: a second battery and that way you can just hot

1614
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:47,000
Speaker 1: swap them instead of waiting for the thing to charge

1615
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:49,160
Speaker 1: because they're not the fastest charging batteries in the world.

1616
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:53,479
Speaker 1: Coming up, we've got doctor Rene Doua to talk about

1617
01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:56,559
Speaker 1: her new app called Together, which can take your vital

1618
01:22:56,640 --> 01:22:59,240
Speaker 1: signs with just a selfie. Plus, we've got more of

1619
01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:02,280
Speaker 1: your calls at eight rich one oh one eight eight

1620
01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:05,360
Speaker 1: eight seven four to two four one zero one, and

1621
01:23:05,400 --> 01:23:09,320
Speaker 1: the emails and the feedback are piling up as we speak.

1622
01:23:09,880 --> 01:23:12,840
Speaker 1: The feedback segment, your favorite segment coming up a little

1623
01:23:12,840 --> 01:23:15,599
Speaker 1: bit later in the show. You are listening to Rich

1624
01:23:15,680 --> 01:23:23,679
Speaker 1: on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro

1625
01:23:23,800 --> 01:23:27,640
Speaker 1: here hanging out with you talking tech. The feature I

1626
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:30,120
Speaker 1: was trying out on YouTube if you have YouTube Premium,

1627
01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:34,000
Speaker 1: they're testing this new lock screen feature, so it allows

1628
01:23:34,040 --> 01:23:38,759
Speaker 1: you to watch a video in full screen without switching

1629
01:23:38,880 --> 01:23:42,000
Speaker 1: or turning it off or something. So it's called avoiding

1630
01:23:42,120 --> 01:23:45,040
Speaker 1: accidental taps on the lock screen. This is a test

1631
01:23:45,080 --> 01:23:47,880
Speaker 1: if you only only if you have YouTube Premium. So

1632
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:51,240
Speaker 1: if you have YouTube Premium, lock screen disables touch input

1633
01:23:51,280 --> 01:23:54,439
Speaker 1: while watching a video, so accidental taps do not pause,

1634
01:23:54,479 --> 01:23:56,759
Speaker 1: skip or disrupt it. So you know, if you're watching

1635
01:23:56,760 --> 01:23:58,160
Speaker 1: a video on your phone, you kind of move it

1636
01:23:58,200 --> 01:24:00,479
Speaker 1: around next thing you know it like exits or pauses

1637
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:02,160
Speaker 1: or something like that. So here's how to find this.

1638
01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:06,080
Speaker 1: So you go, if you only if you have YouTube Premium,

1639
01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:09,240
Speaker 1: open up YouTube and go into your upper right hand

1640
01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:11,960
Speaker 1: corner where it says you know your profile picture. You

1641
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:15,439
Speaker 1: tap that. Then it says your premium benefits. And if

1642
01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:18,080
Speaker 1: this is available to you, it says try new features.

1643
01:24:18,120 --> 01:24:20,920
Speaker 1: You tap there, and right now it says one available.

1644
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:25,120
Speaker 1: Avoid accidental taps with lock screen available until July thirtieth.

1645
01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:27,679
Speaker 1: How to use while you're watching a video in full

1646
01:24:27,720 --> 01:24:30,679
Speaker 1: screen mode, Tap on the gear icon in the top

1647
01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:34,320
Speaker 1: left hand corner of the screen. That's not true, it's

1648
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:38,080
Speaker 1: in the upper right hand corner. Weird, and select lock screen.

1649
01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:39,920
Speaker 1: That is so weird. How do they get that wrong?

1650
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:44,040
Speaker 1: There's no gear icon on the upper left that's interesting.

1651
01:24:44,400 --> 01:24:47,600
Speaker 1: How would they get that wrong? YouTube? Come on, you

1652
01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:50,080
Speaker 1: can turn that on. It's available on iOS and Android.

1653
01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:52,360
Speaker 1: It's invite only, so if you don't see it, please

1654
01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:54,640
Speaker 1: don't write me an angry email. You just don't have

1655
01:24:54,720 --> 01:24:58,680
Speaker 1: access to it. James is in Los Angeles. James, you're

1664
01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:17,519
Speaker 1: to make this show accessible to everyone, right Like I

1665
01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:19,599
Speaker 1: want people who love tech to listen. I want people

1666
01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:21,840
Speaker 1: who don't care about tech to listen and say, wait

1667
01:25:21,840 --> 01:25:23,879
Speaker 1: a second, what do you just say? That's kind of useful.

1668
01:25:24,320 --> 01:25:27,640
Speaker 1: So obviously I cover a wide range of topics on

1669
01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:29,240
Speaker 1: the show. So I'm glad to.

1670
01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:32,439
Speaker 10: Joe your podcast Your podcasts are actually worth re listening

1671
01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:35,240
Speaker 10: because I'm relearning stuff as well as the site job.

1672
01:25:35,280 --> 01:25:37,760
Speaker 1: Man, thanks, James, you need a job promoting me or

1673
01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:41,479
Speaker 1: what I mean? It sounds like you're hired. What can

1674
01:25:41,479 --> 01:25:42,040
Speaker 1: I help you with?

1675
01:25:43,200 --> 01:25:43,280
Speaker 4: So?

1676
01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:46,120
Speaker 10: I bought this external hard drive and I don't know

1677
01:25:46,120 --> 01:25:48,799
Speaker 10: if I can say the brand, but it just totally

1678
01:25:48,920 --> 01:25:51,519
Speaker 10: just died on me after three or four months, and

1679
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:53,800
Speaker 10: I don't like. Somebody told me if I tap on

1680
01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:57,600
Speaker 10: the hard drive kind of like a starter with a

1681
01:25:57,640 --> 01:26:00,920
Speaker 10: car back in the day, like it'll make back to life.

1682
01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:04,080
Speaker 1: We called that the old the old. Oh you tried it.

1683
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:06,040
Speaker 10: I tried it.

1684
01:26:06,080 --> 01:26:06,720
Speaker 5: What do you call it?

1685
01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:09,320
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I called like. I mean, back in

1686
01:26:09,360 --> 01:26:10,920
Speaker 1: the day, we would just hit stuff, you know, it

1687
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:13,160
Speaker 1: was like the fix. But you know, like you hit

1688
01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:15,160
Speaker 1: a TV, it comes to life. You hit you know,

1689
01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:18,160
Speaker 1: you give something a little hit. Nowadays everything's so solid state.

1690
01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:20,800
Speaker 1: I don't really think that works anymore. And a hard

1691
01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:23,160
Speaker 1: drive specifically, you probably don't want to hit it too much.

1692
01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:25,280
Speaker 1: What kind of is it? A solid state or a

1693
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:27,160
Speaker 1: like a spinning like a disc.

1694
01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:30,120
Speaker 10: So I thought it was really cool because it's an extern.

1695
01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:33,559
Speaker 10: It's like it's actually a backup phone charger and a

1696
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:36,439
Speaker 10: hard drive. Oh that's cool. You know I can store

1697
01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:38,599
Speaker 10: stuff and charge my phone at the same time as

1698
01:26:38,640 --> 01:26:41,240
Speaker 10: a brand called Eye disc. It's spell A two k's.

1699
01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:41,439
Speaker 7: At the end.

1700
01:26:41,560 --> 01:26:43,360
Speaker 3: And it just died.

1701
01:26:43,479 --> 01:26:46,920
Speaker 10: And I did the tap feature, like I tapped it

1702
01:26:47,040 --> 01:26:49,200
Speaker 10: real hard a couple of times. Yeah, not too hard,

1703
01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:52,439
Speaker 10: but you know tap and the files actually showed up,

1704
01:26:52,720 --> 01:26:53,519
Speaker 10: but they won't load.

1705
01:26:55,200 --> 01:26:57,080
Speaker 1: So do you need these files or do you just

1706
01:26:57,120 --> 01:26:58,160
Speaker 1: want to rescue this thing?

1707
01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:03,000
Speaker 10: I kind of do need the files. They're not super priority,

1708
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:04,680
Speaker 10: but you know, they've got memories and stuff on them

1709
01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:06,800
Speaker 10: that I used as a backup and I didn't do

1710
01:27:06,840 --> 01:27:11,280
Speaker 10: my triple backup right right properly because I let a

1711
01:27:11,320 --> 01:27:12,160
Speaker 10: subscription die.

1712
01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:14,640
Speaker 1: Okay, well here's the thing, and I'm running up right

1713
01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:17,519
Speaker 1: against a hard break here. Number one. I'm looking at

1714
01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 1: this website. The logo sort of a takeoff of sand

1715
01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:23,200
Speaker 1: discs that that alerts me, like, h, I don't really

1716
01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:28,000
Speaker 1: like this. I would try some recovery software, something like

1717
01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:31,920
Speaker 1: Stellar s T E l l A R disc drill

1718
01:27:32,200 --> 01:27:36,360
Speaker 1: is another one, recouvera r E c u v A

1719
01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:39,840
Speaker 1: that's another one. But I would check those out see

1720
01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:42,240
Speaker 1: if you know, try something free, don't use something that's

1721
01:27:42,280 --> 01:27:44,960
Speaker 1: paid to try to rescue these things. Also try a

1722
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:47,439
Speaker 1: different computer as well, because it may be that you're

1723
01:27:47,439 --> 01:27:50,519
Speaker 1: plugging this thing into a device that doesn't recognize it,

1724
01:27:51,040 --> 01:27:53,479
Speaker 1: or maybe doesn't have enough power for the USB to

1725
01:27:53,560 --> 01:27:56,840
Speaker 1: power up. But I'm looking at their website and it

1726
01:27:57,240 --> 01:27:59,839
Speaker 1: seems to promise a lot. I'm not sure the quality.

1727
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:03,639
Speaker 1: I can't vouch for that, so good question, James. Hopefully

1728
01:28:03,640 --> 01:28:07,360
Speaker 1: you can salvage this data and back up. Please more

1729
01:28:07,439 --> 01:28:13,479
Speaker 1: rich on Tech right after this. Welcome back to rich

1730
01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:16,120
Speaker 1: on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging out with you, talking

1731
01:28:16,160 --> 01:28:19,839
Speaker 1: technology and joining me now is La based physician doctor

1732
01:28:19,960 --> 01:28:23,639
Speaker 1: Renee Dua. She has got a new app called Together

1733
01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:25,760
Speaker 1: by Renee. Thanks so much for joining me today.

1734
01:28:25,800 --> 01:28:27,800
Speaker 14: Thanks so much for having me. I appreciate it.

1735
01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:29,920
Speaker 1: So this is not your first app. You came out

1736
01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:32,639
Speaker 1: with an app a couple of years ago called Heel,

1737
01:28:33,080 --> 01:28:36,479
Speaker 1: which sort of revolutionized healthcare at home.

1738
01:28:36,800 --> 01:28:39,360
Speaker 14: That's right, and so we started Heal actually nine years

1739
01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:42,840
Speaker 14: ago and we just sold the company to Humana and

1740
01:28:42,880 --> 01:28:45,720
Speaker 14: the idea was exactly as you said, primary care in

1741
01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:47,599
Speaker 14: the home, booking from an app.

1742
01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:50,080
Speaker 1: So now you've got a new app. This is called

1743
01:28:50,120 --> 01:28:53,280
Speaker 1: Together by Renee. And what caught my attention about this

1744
01:28:53,320 --> 01:28:57,519
Speaker 1: app is that it measures your vitals by taking a selfie,

1745
01:28:57,560 --> 01:28:59,599
Speaker 1: So you can get your blood pressure, your heart rate,

1746
01:29:00,160 --> 01:29:03,960
Speaker 1: respiratory rate, and blood oxygen plus more, all by just

1747
01:29:04,040 --> 01:29:07,400
Speaker 1: taking a selfie on your phone. So tell me about

1748
01:29:07,400 --> 01:29:08,760
Speaker 1: this app. Why did you come up with it?

1749
01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:11,600
Speaker 14: Well, so I'm not just a doctor. I'm also a

1750
01:29:11,640 --> 01:29:15,519
Speaker 14: caregiver for my parents and I was finding that in

1751
01:29:15,560 --> 01:29:19,439
Speaker 14: between their doctor's appointments, I had tons of little tasks

1752
01:29:19,840 --> 01:29:23,679
Speaker 14: booking appointments, making sure refills were picked up, making sure

1753
01:29:23,680 --> 01:29:27,400
Speaker 14: those medications that they're taking are actually working by looking

1754
01:29:27,479 --> 01:29:31,600
Speaker 14: at their vitals, calling and getting the notes from a

1755
01:29:31,640 --> 01:29:34,960
Speaker 14: doctor's appointment. And I sat down with my husband, who's

1756
01:29:34,960 --> 01:29:37,479
Speaker 14: also my co founder, and I said, you know what

1757
01:29:37,600 --> 01:29:41,840
Speaker 14: I need to automate me? How do I make myself

1758
01:29:42,160 --> 01:29:45,280
Speaker 14: into a health assistant that everyone can use? And that's

1759
01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:48,080
Speaker 14: sort of the genesis of how we came across this idea.

1760
01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:51,320
Speaker 1: So let's first start with the scanning the medication bottle.

1761
01:29:51,360 --> 01:29:53,679
Speaker 1: It's not your typical scan. It's more of an AI

1762
01:29:53,880 --> 01:29:56,920
Speaker 1: scan because it's very easy to scan the bottle and

1763
01:29:56,920 --> 01:29:59,439
Speaker 1: then it's reading the information. So how's that working.

1764
01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:03,479
Speaker 14: So that's proprietary technology that we built in house because

1765
01:30:03,520 --> 01:30:06,559
Speaker 14: again we didn't want you to have to type. We

1766
01:30:07,040 --> 01:30:09,800
Speaker 14: allow you to take a scan of your bottle.

1767
01:30:09,920 --> 01:30:12,559
Speaker 1: And which, by the way, is round, so it's not

1768
01:30:12,640 --> 01:30:14,760
Speaker 1: easy to scan. And so you've figured out a way

1769
01:30:14,800 --> 01:30:16,639
Speaker 1: to make it easy to scan because it's round.

1770
01:30:16,760 --> 01:30:19,880
Speaker 14: That's exactly correct. And I'm so grateful that you picked

1771
01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:22,360
Speaker 14: up on that nuance there, because many people think, oh,

1772
01:30:22,400 --> 01:30:24,960
Speaker 14: I'm just snapping a video and I'm sorry, snapping a

1773
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:27,719
Speaker 14: picture and I'm learning so much. No, the round bottle

1774
01:30:27,760 --> 01:30:31,720
Speaker 14: has a lot of information that's useful directions, things you

1775
01:30:31,800 --> 01:30:36,280
Speaker 14: shouldn't take with your medications, that all important refill number.

1776
01:30:36,439 --> 01:30:38,519
Speaker 14: How many times have you called your pharmacy? And the

1777
01:30:38,520 --> 01:30:42,240
Speaker 14: first question is enter the number the prescription number of

1778
01:30:42,280 --> 01:30:47,000
Speaker 14: your medication. Who knows right here? The Together app combines

1779
01:30:47,040 --> 01:30:50,200
Speaker 14: all that information into one place and then takes action.

1780
01:30:50,640 --> 01:30:55,240
Speaker 14: The Together app can call the pharmacy, knows the identification

1781
01:30:55,320 --> 01:30:58,560
Speaker 14: number of that medification and knows your name and information

1782
01:30:58,640 --> 01:30:59,920
Speaker 14: and will ask for the refill.

1783
01:31:00,479 --> 01:31:02,840
Speaker 1: Accuracy is really important when it comes to everything that

1784
01:31:02,880 --> 01:31:06,000
Speaker 1: you're mentioning. So how accurate are your scans? How accurate

1785
01:31:06,160 --> 01:31:08,200
Speaker 1: is the information that the app can get from this.

1786
01:31:08,520 --> 01:31:11,479
Speaker 14: We've spent a year and a half just doing research

1787
01:31:11,520 --> 01:31:15,280
Speaker 14: and development to improve accuracy and to ensure protection, so

1788
01:31:15,320 --> 01:31:19,200
Speaker 14: they're very accurate. And again everything gets better week after

1789
01:31:19,240 --> 01:31:21,720
Speaker 14: week as we're releasing new features on the app. So

1790
01:31:22,320 --> 01:31:26,320
Speaker 14: each week I see that our accuracy is even better

1791
01:31:26,840 --> 01:31:27,960
Speaker 14: than already. Very good.

1792
01:31:28,520 --> 01:31:31,720
Speaker 1: Okay, Now, the feature that you can download and try immediately,

1793
01:31:31,880 --> 01:31:35,760
Speaker 1: which I did, was the selfie for your vitals. So

1794
01:31:36,520 --> 01:31:39,160
Speaker 1: you stand there for about a minute and you just

1795
01:31:39,320 --> 01:31:42,200
Speaker 1: basically use your selfie camera and it will start showing

1796
01:31:42,240 --> 01:31:43,800
Speaker 1: you some of your vitals and then when you're done,

1797
01:31:43,840 --> 01:31:46,120
Speaker 1: it'll show you even more so, which vitals is this

1798
01:31:46,280 --> 01:31:48,360
Speaker 1: taking and how is it getting those?

1799
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:51,160
Speaker 14: So the vitals that it's taking are your heart rate,

1800
01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:54,360
Speaker 14: your oxygen level in your body, and your blood pressure.

1801
01:31:54,439 --> 01:31:57,599
Speaker 14: Those are the most important ones. And specifically, the camera

1802
01:31:57,680 --> 01:31:59,840
Speaker 14: is looking in the backs of your eyes at your retina,

1803
01:32:00,040 --> 01:32:03,000
Speaker 14: looking at blood pressure in the vessels in the backs

1804
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:04,599
Speaker 14: of your eyes to give you these numbers.

1805
01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:07,040
Speaker 1: And what can this information be used for?

1806
01:32:07,600 --> 01:32:10,120
Speaker 14: Well, I think a lot about my patients who are

1807
01:32:10,160 --> 01:32:14,000
Speaker 14: anxious or depressed, they have elevated blood pressures, elevated heart rates.

1808
01:32:14,160 --> 01:32:15,880
Speaker 14: They want to know how they're feeling and if they

1809
01:32:15,920 --> 01:32:18,600
Speaker 14: are in fact feeling those symptoms. I also spend a

1810
01:32:18,600 --> 01:32:21,120
Speaker 14: lot of time with people who have high blood pressure

1811
01:32:21,439 --> 01:32:25,200
Speaker 14: on three or four medications, and even still their blood

1812
01:32:25,200 --> 01:32:28,639
Speaker 14: pressure is not controlled. And I personally, when I see patients,

1813
01:32:28,640 --> 01:32:30,960
Speaker 14: I tell them, use the app check your blood pressure

1814
01:32:30,960 --> 01:32:33,480
Speaker 14: once or twice a week. Let's make sure these medications

1815
01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:34,000
Speaker 14: are working.

1816
01:32:34,880 --> 01:32:36,719
Speaker 1: Is this the first time we've seen an app take

1817
01:32:36,960 --> 01:32:39,400
Speaker 1: vitals like this in such an easy manner?

1818
01:32:39,720 --> 01:32:41,200
Speaker 14: This is the first time you've seen it in the

1819
01:32:41,280 --> 01:32:45,160
Speaker 14: United States, that's correct, And on the iPhone we've gotten approvals.

1820
01:32:45,200 --> 01:32:47,240
Speaker 14: We are the first to release such a feature.

1821
01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:50,240
Speaker 1: Can you speak to how AI is being used in

1822
01:32:50,280 --> 01:32:50,759
Speaker 1: this app?

1823
01:32:51,120 --> 01:32:55,000
Speaker 14: The entire back end of Together is artificial intelligence, right.

1824
01:32:55,400 --> 01:32:58,519
Speaker 14: It is the assistant, It is the support that's making

1825
01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:02,800
Speaker 14: those appointments, reminding for those refills, reading those labels on

1826
01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:05,719
Speaker 14: the medication bottles, looking in the backs of your eyes

1827
01:33:05,720 --> 01:33:08,360
Speaker 14: to check your blood pressure. All of that is dependent

1828
01:33:08,400 --> 01:33:09,840
Speaker 14: on artificial intelligence.

1829
01:33:10,280 --> 01:33:13,400
Speaker 1: Now, the other thing is that your medications that you're

1830
01:33:13,439 --> 01:33:15,880
Speaker 1: taking will sort of tell the app what you need

1831
01:33:15,960 --> 01:33:19,439
Speaker 1: to do when it comes to preventative steps. Can you

1832
01:33:19,479 --> 01:33:20,720
Speaker 1: talk about that a little bit, right?

1833
01:33:21,120 --> 01:33:23,720
Speaker 14: And so to me, this is actually a very very

1834
01:33:23,760 --> 01:33:26,639
Speaker 14: cool feature in that when we're scanning those pill bottles,

1835
01:33:26,960 --> 01:33:30,240
Speaker 14: we're learning, for example, that you take a medication for diabetes.

1836
01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:33,920
Speaker 14: People who have diabetes need to have their cholesterol checked,

1837
01:33:34,120 --> 01:33:36,880
Speaker 14: need to have their kidney function checked, right, need to

1838
01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:40,720
Speaker 14: have their liver enzymes checked. And so sometimes you go

1839
01:33:40,800 --> 01:33:42,960
Speaker 14: to the doctor's office and you find out these things

1840
01:33:43,000 --> 01:33:46,559
Speaker 14: aren't done or forgotten, or you forgot. Here's a task

1841
01:33:46,640 --> 01:33:48,799
Speaker 14: list of things that you can do. And once again

1842
01:33:49,000 --> 01:33:52,080
Speaker 14: we can help by calling and scheduling appointments. We're going

1843
01:33:52,080 --> 01:33:53,720
Speaker 14: to be able to help by helping you get those

1844
01:33:53,760 --> 01:33:56,840
Speaker 14: results and keeping them in one place so that you

1845
01:33:56,880 --> 01:33:59,360
Speaker 14: can look at them yourselves or share them with someone

1846
01:33:59,360 --> 01:33:59,720
Speaker 14: you love.

1847
01:34:00,760 --> 01:34:04,160
Speaker 1: And what's the goal of this entire app.

1848
01:34:04,640 --> 01:34:08,800
Speaker 14: You know, I really want to transcend the healthcare experience

1849
01:34:08,880 --> 01:34:13,200
Speaker 14: in America right now. I think a patient is dependent

1850
01:34:13,320 --> 01:34:15,439
Speaker 14: on what a doctor can do in that fifteen to

1851
01:34:15,439 --> 01:34:19,040
Speaker 14: twenty minute office visit, and is dependent on what insurance

1852
01:34:19,080 --> 01:34:22,600
Speaker 14: will allow. So many insurance companies have a prior authorization

1853
01:34:22,920 --> 01:34:25,320
Speaker 14: or a form that needs to be filled out before

1854
01:34:25,320 --> 01:34:28,080
Speaker 14: you can actually get the care they need you need.

1855
01:34:28,720 --> 01:34:31,280
Speaker 14: I really want patients to be able to know what

1856
01:34:31,320 --> 01:34:34,120
Speaker 14: they need and take care of it themselves, and share

1857
01:34:34,640 --> 01:34:37,639
Speaker 14: what they need with their daughter or their partner so

1858
01:34:37,680 --> 01:34:39,920
Speaker 14: that their partner can say, listen, I saw that you

1859
01:34:39,960 --> 01:34:42,240
Speaker 14: need to get your cholesterol checked. Let's get you to

1860
01:34:42,280 --> 01:34:44,600
Speaker 14: the lab and get that done. Let's not wait for

1861
01:34:44,680 --> 01:34:46,280
Speaker 14: another appointment with a doctor.

1862
01:34:47,040 --> 01:34:50,920
Speaker 1: Two things that I specifically have a problem with is

1863
01:34:51,560 --> 01:34:55,120
Speaker 1: the online appointments very hit or miss every single doctor,

1864
01:34:55,560 --> 01:34:58,920
Speaker 1: and also filling out paperwork. Why can't I fill out

1865
01:34:58,960 --> 01:35:01,280
Speaker 1: that paperwork before I get there? Or why do I

1866
01:35:01,320 --> 01:35:03,000
Speaker 1: have to fill it out every time? Why is it

1867
01:35:03,040 --> 01:35:05,200
Speaker 1: pen and paper? Is there a reason for that? Is

1868
01:35:05,200 --> 01:35:07,599
Speaker 1: there something I don't know that doctors know that? Why

1869
01:35:07,640 --> 01:35:09,799
Speaker 1: they make us? Why this is so hard?

1870
01:35:10,000 --> 01:35:13,400
Speaker 14: Well, I think you've hit on two fundamental needs that

1871
01:35:13,479 --> 01:35:16,760
Speaker 14: patients have wanted for years and we have yet to

1872
01:35:16,840 --> 01:35:21,960
Speaker 14: achieve and hopefully together will achieve. Actually, and second, the

1873
01:35:22,120 --> 01:35:25,920
Speaker 14: by design disruption of your day. Right, none of these

1874
01:35:25,960 --> 01:35:31,120
Speaker 14: systems communicate. You don't know what your optometrist wants in

1875
01:35:31,160 --> 01:35:34,639
Speaker 14: the same app as your met form and refill, right.

1876
01:35:35,240 --> 01:35:38,599
Speaker 14: I think these systems are by design to keep all

1877
01:35:38,640 --> 01:35:43,280
Speaker 14: your information disjointed and disorganized. And once again, that's literally

1878
01:35:43,320 --> 01:35:45,880
Speaker 14: why we called it Together Together. We'll call and make

1879
01:35:45,880 --> 01:35:49,200
Speaker 14: your appointments. Together, will fill out your forms and send

1880
01:35:49,200 --> 01:35:52,639
Speaker 14: them over ahead of those appointments. And we want all

1881
01:35:52,680 --> 01:35:55,400
Speaker 14: your information in one place so that you can see it,

1882
01:35:55,760 --> 01:35:58,360
Speaker 14: You can control it, you can share it with someone

1883
01:35:58,400 --> 01:36:02,360
Speaker 14: you love, and you own it. It's your information, It

1884
01:36:02,400 --> 01:36:04,639
Speaker 14: belongs to you, and you can do with it what

1885
01:36:04,680 --> 01:36:05,800
Speaker 14: you think is right for you.

1886
01:36:05,880 --> 01:36:07,240
Speaker 1: Tell me about the privacy aspect.

1887
01:36:07,360 --> 01:36:11,000
Speaker 14: Yeah, Together is a hip a compliant company. Your information

1888
01:36:11,120 --> 01:36:13,519
Speaker 14: belongs to you and anyone you want to share it with.

1889
01:36:13,600 --> 01:36:16,920
Speaker 14: It's totally private. We do not share your information without

1890
01:36:16,920 --> 01:36:17,720
Speaker 14: your permission.

1891
01:36:17,880 --> 01:36:20,960
Speaker 1: Okay again. The app is called Together by Renee. It's

1892

Speaker 1: Okay, doctor Renee Dua, thanks so much for joining me today.

01:36:47,680 --> 01:36:48,280
Speaker 14: Thank you so much.

Speaker 1: to rich on Tech Tracy's and Myriatta Tracy. What's going on?

1908
01:37:06,200 --> 01:37:06,400
Speaker 14: Hi?

1909
01:37:06,760 --> 01:37:08,839
Speaker 3: I get a usual update.

1910
01:37:08,920 --> 01:37:13,680
Speaker 4: I have an iPhone ten and it updated, gave me

1911
01:37:14,439 --> 01:37:17,000
Speaker 4: some kind of an update, and then it took.

1912
01:37:16,840 --> 01:37:18,519
Speaker 3: Away its speaking feature to me.

1913
01:37:18,600 --> 01:37:20,560
Speaker 6: And I am blind and diabetic.

1914
01:37:21,520 --> 01:37:23,639
Speaker 4: Oh and so I have my phone my.

1915
01:37:23,720 --> 01:37:28,720
Speaker 10: Asps talking to me, but it took away on the

1916
01:37:28,800 --> 01:37:29,679
Speaker 10: last updates.

1917
01:37:30,080 --> 01:37:31,640
Speaker 1: And do you know which update. Do you know what

1918
01:37:31,680 --> 01:37:34,720
Speaker 1: kind of phone you have? You said, an iPhone, iPhone ten,

1919
01:37:34,880 --> 01:37:38,320
Speaker 1: iPhone ten. Okay, as far as I know, the iPhone

1920
01:37:38,400 --> 01:37:42,000
Speaker 1: ten still gets the latest updates. This is the last

1921
01:37:42,080 --> 01:37:46,680
Speaker 1: year for that, I believe. Let's see. Hold on iOS seventeen.

1922
01:37:47,680 --> 01:37:50,720
Speaker 1: They just came out with the supported models for iOS seventeen,

1923
01:37:51,439 --> 01:37:54,040
Speaker 1: and let's see if your iPhone ten is going to

1924
01:37:54,040 --> 01:37:57,760
Speaker 1: get that. I think it's the end of the line. Yeah,

1925
01:37:57,840 --> 01:38:02,400
Speaker 1: the iPhone ten, ten, ten S Max and tens will

1926
01:38:02,439 --> 01:38:06,200
Speaker 1: be the first will be the first phones that are compatible,

1927
01:38:06,200 --> 01:38:08,320
Speaker 1: which means the iPhone ten has fallen off the list.

1928
01:38:08,360 --> 01:38:11,040
Speaker 1: But the good news is Tracy, that your phone still

1929
01:38:11,080 --> 01:38:13,439
Speaker 1: has the latest update. And I'm looking at mine, and

1930
01:38:13,600 --> 01:38:18,800
Speaker 1: I believe you're referring to the voiceover accessibility feature and

1931
01:38:18,840 --> 01:38:22,639
Speaker 1: that is still available. So maybe this got turned off.

1932
01:38:22,680 --> 01:38:25,559
Speaker 1: But what I would do is go into settings and

1933
01:38:25,600 --> 01:38:30,280
Speaker 1: then accessibility voiceover and turn it back on, and I

1934
01:38:30,400 --> 01:38:32,400
Speaker 1: believe that should do what you need. And then once

1935
01:38:32,439 --> 01:38:37,080
Speaker 1: you're in there, they've got all kinds of options for speech,

1936
01:38:37,200 --> 01:38:42,400
Speaker 1: for Braille, for voiceover recognition, for description, for images, what's

1937
01:38:42,439 --> 01:38:44,880
Speaker 1: on the screen for texts. So I'm looking at it

1938
01:38:44,880 --> 01:38:50,080
Speaker 1: it's all there, and if you enable that one more time,

1939
01:38:50,280 --> 01:38:53,639
Speaker 1: perhaps that will be reactivated because it could be very

1940
01:38:53,800 --> 01:38:56,960
Speaker 1: useful in your situation for looking at those apps and

1941
01:38:57,000 --> 01:38:59,519
Speaker 1: seeing what they can do. But that's where you find it,

1942
01:39:00,040 --> 01:39:04,040
Speaker 1: and you can actually ask Siri as well, So if

1943
01:39:04,040 --> 01:39:06,240
Speaker 1: you want to turn this on or off, you can

1944
01:39:06,360 --> 01:39:09,560
Speaker 1: just hold down your side button and say turn on voiceover,

1945
01:39:10,200 --> 01:39:12,920
Speaker 1: and that will be an easier way of turning it on.

1946
01:39:13,720 --> 01:39:16,680
Speaker 1: Because you did mention you're visually impaired, so that might

1947
01:39:16,720 --> 01:39:18,160
Speaker 1: be an easier way to just turn it on to

1948
01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:22,040
Speaker 1: ask Siri to activate it. So turn on voiceover and

1949
01:39:22,160 --> 01:39:24,439
Speaker 1: you can hold down the side button to activate Siri,

1950
01:39:24,600 --> 01:39:28,719
Speaker 1: or you can say the hot word, hey Siri, which

1951
01:39:28,760 --> 01:39:31,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to say because it activates your phone

1952
01:39:31,040 --> 01:39:34,479
Speaker 1: and I just did it online. So Tracy, hopefully that helps,

1953
01:39:34,520 --> 01:39:37,519
Speaker 1: and you may want to think about a potential upgrade

1954
01:39:38,320 --> 01:39:42,519
Speaker 1: next year when the software is no longer supported. The

1955
01:39:42,600 --> 01:39:45,559
Speaker 1: latest software is no longer supported on your particular device.

1956
01:39:45,640 --> 01:39:48,120
Speaker 1: So thanks for the call today, appreciate it all right,

1957
01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:53,560
Speaker 1: let's get to the feedback segment. Not to be confused

1958
01:39:53,560 --> 01:40:00,160
Speaker 1: with the feedback segment, that's a whole other show. Gale rights.

1959
01:40:01,040 --> 01:40:03,880
Speaker 1: Gail writes, good afternoon, Rich, I just heard you talk

1960
01:40:03,920 --> 01:40:07,240
Speaker 1: to that woman about the Meta notification. That's how my

1961
01:40:07,360 --> 01:40:10,479
Speaker 1: Instagram account was hacked. I got one of those messages

1962
01:40:10,520 --> 01:40:13,280
Speaker 1: in April, and, like a can't say that word, I

1963
01:40:13,360 --> 01:40:17,040
Speaker 1: provided my password. Then I got more questions from someone

1964
01:40:17,800 --> 01:40:21,040
Speaker 1: using the Instagram logo. When I refused to answer, the

1965
01:40:21,080 --> 01:40:23,400
Speaker 1: contact told me my account would be restored for three

1966
01:40:23,520 --> 01:40:29,479
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. I then deleted any subsequent messages. This morning,

1967
01:40:29,720 --> 01:40:32,839
Speaker 1: I got one from Meta about how I was falsely

1968
01:40:32,920 --> 01:40:35,599
Speaker 1: using my account. I did what you said and ignored it.

1969
01:40:35,680 --> 01:40:39,960
Speaker 1: Thank you for your valuable information, Gail. Yes, I was

1970
01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:43,800
Speaker 1: thinking more about the caller and that notification. I think

1971
01:40:43,840 --> 01:40:47,759
Speaker 1: in her case it might have been legitimate, but still

1972
01:40:48,040 --> 01:40:51,200
Speaker 1: very concerning when you have to deal with this stuff.

1973
01:40:52,600 --> 01:40:55,680
Speaker 1: Jill writes in as a casual Twitter user, can you

1974
01:40:55,760 --> 01:40:58,719
Speaker 1: explain what your guest meant when he said Twitter is broken?

1975
01:40:59,160 --> 01:41:03,400
Speaker 1: I don't see any differfer instant a function. Educate me, Joe, Joe,

1976
01:41:04,040 --> 01:41:07,679
Speaker 1: that was that was an opinion that Twitter has broken.

1977
01:41:07,800 --> 01:41:11,120
Speaker 1: Many people share the idea that Twitter is a different

1978
01:41:11,160 --> 01:41:14,200
Speaker 1: place than it was before Elon Musk took over. But

1979
01:41:14,320 --> 01:41:18,160
Speaker 1: you are correct at its bear basic functionality. Not much

1980
01:41:18,200 --> 01:41:21,519
Speaker 1: has changed. I use Twitter, I still use it, I

1981
01:41:21,560 --> 01:41:24,400
Speaker 1: can still tweet, I can still post stuff. Yes, they

1982
01:41:24,400 --> 01:41:27,479
Speaker 1: push you to paying for certain things. Yes, stay for

1983
01:41:27,560 --> 01:41:30,080
Speaker 1: a while, made you log in to look at things. Yes,

1984
01:41:30,160 --> 01:41:32,000
Speaker 1: they said you can only look at a certain amount

1985
01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:33,759
Speaker 1: of tweets a day. I think it was six hundred

1986
01:41:33,840 --> 01:41:37,840
Speaker 1: for But I never came up against any of those situations.

1987
01:41:37,920 --> 01:41:41,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's still working pretty much the same unless

1988
01:41:41,320 --> 01:41:45,880
Speaker 1: Elon changed something again. But the reality is there's a

1989
01:41:46,080 --> 01:41:50,080
Speaker 1: lot of how do we say, there's a lot of

1990
01:41:50,120 --> 01:41:52,880
Speaker 1: people that just don't like Twitter because of Twitter and

1991
01:41:52,960 --> 01:41:55,639
Speaker 1: Elon Musk, and so there's a lot of complaining going

1992
01:41:55,680 --> 01:41:59,479
Speaker 1: on surrounding that, when in reality, Twitter is still pretty

1993
01:41:59,520 --> 01:42:02,920
Speaker 1: much the same functionality that it's been since it started.

1994
01:42:04,160 --> 01:42:04,320
Speaker 3: Huh.

1995
01:42:04,720 --> 01:42:07,120
Speaker 1: Tom says, hey, Rich, I really am enjoying the show

1996
01:42:07,160 --> 01:42:10,920
Speaker 1: on KFI. My concern about joining threads is that it

1997
01:42:10,960 --> 01:42:12,880
Speaker 1: sounds like you have to have an Instagram account and

1998
01:42:12,880 --> 01:42:17,000
Speaker 1: also security concerns on Instagram. Thanks. I'm not sure what

1999
01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:20,000
Speaker 1: the security concerns are on Instagram, but yes, you do

2000
01:42:20,080 --> 01:42:22,680
Speaker 1: have to have an Instagram account to join threads, and

2001
01:42:22,760 --> 01:42:25,960
Speaker 1: people are really up in arms about this idea that

2002
01:42:26,040 --> 01:42:28,000
Speaker 1: if you want to delete your Threads account, you have

2003
01:42:28,040 --> 01:42:30,519
Speaker 1: to delete your Instagram account. Now, why would you want

2004
01:42:30,520 --> 01:42:32,880
Speaker 1: to delete your Threads account on day number three? Like

2005
01:42:32,920 --> 01:42:34,720
Speaker 1: you get in there and it's like getting into a

2006
01:42:34,760 --> 01:42:37,200
Speaker 1: club and you're like, oh, this place is terrible, and

2007
01:42:37,240 --> 01:42:40,080
Speaker 1: you walk right out. I mean, if you don't like Threads,

2008
01:42:40,200 --> 01:42:43,280
Speaker 1: just don't use it. Stop using it. You're gonna delete

2009
01:42:43,280 --> 01:42:47,680
Speaker 1: your whole like Facebook account, Instagram meta account because you

2010
01:42:47,680 --> 01:42:50,960
Speaker 1: don't like Threads. Just delete everything, delete your posts, don't

2011
01:42:51,080 --> 01:42:53,000
Speaker 1: use it, delete the app and just come back to

2012
01:42:53,040 --> 01:42:55,439
Speaker 1: it in six months and rethink it. But you don't

2013
01:42:55,439 --> 01:42:56,960
Speaker 1: need to like get rid of it. So people are

2014
01:42:57,000 --> 01:42:59,559
Speaker 1: going nuts over this. Yeah, you got to delete your

2015
01:42:59,600 --> 01:43:02,920
Speaker 1: whole Instagram account if you want to delete Threads. Okay,

2016
01:43:03,160 --> 01:43:06,080
Speaker 1: they're connected. What do you expect? This is a company,

2017
01:43:06,120 --> 01:43:09,599
Speaker 1: it's meta. This is not you know, your grandma giving

2018
01:43:09,640 --> 01:43:12,680
Speaker 1: you something nice. This is like, this is may a

2019
01:43:12,720 --> 01:43:16,519
Speaker 1: big company that wants to grab your data. They're gonna

2020
01:43:16,520 --> 01:43:18,639
Speaker 1: make it tough for you to leave, easy to get in,

2021
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:23,479
Speaker 1: tough to leave. It's like the Hotel California so big.

2022
01:43:23,520 --> 01:43:26,000
Speaker 1: A big article on life Hacker, how to delete your

2023
01:43:26,040 --> 01:43:29,439
Speaker 1: Threads without losing your Instagram delete all your content, make

2024
01:43:29,439 --> 01:43:33,519
Speaker 1: your profile private, deactivate your profile, and if you're ready

2025
01:43:33,560 --> 01:43:36,400
Speaker 1: to nuke your Instagram profile, you can delete your account.

2026
01:43:36,439 --> 01:43:38,720
Speaker 1: I would not recommend doing that. It's too early to

2027
01:43:38,760 --> 01:43:42,240
Speaker 1: say whether we're going to all use threads forever or not,

2028
01:43:42,479 --> 01:43:43,920
Speaker 1: so just try it out. If you don't like it,

2029
01:43:43,960 --> 01:43:48,040
Speaker 1: delete the app and worry about it later. Mike says, Hey, Rich,

2030
01:43:48,160 --> 01:43:51,559
Speaker 1: greetings and congrats on twenty five in the can great show,

2031
01:43:51,720 --> 01:43:54,200
Speaker 1: great subject matter. Now, I think you're ready for the

2032
01:43:54,200 --> 01:43:58,160
Speaker 1: next step. Bumper music, especially the lead in the beginning

2033
01:43:58,160 --> 01:44:02,840
Speaker 1: of the show for Adam's Ears just perked up. I

2034
01:44:02,880 --> 01:44:05,080
Speaker 1: think there is a payoff to having the exact same

2035
01:44:05,120 --> 01:44:12,200
Speaker 1: tune every time something dynamic. It's an identification thing, identification thing.

2036
01:44:12,280 --> 01:44:13,920
Speaker 1: We hear it, we know it's you. We have to

2037
01:44:13,960 --> 01:44:17,599
Speaker 1: listen up and you're not too far off. The song

2038
01:44:17,640 --> 01:44:20,160
Speaker 1: you last played into break an electronic sound. I think

2039
01:44:20,160 --> 01:44:23,800
Speaker 1: it was Tycho, one of my favorite electronic bands. Put

2040
01:44:23,800 --> 01:44:27,400
Speaker 1: it at the front, just saying Mike in San Diego,

2041
01:44:27,560 --> 01:44:31,040
Speaker 1: thank you. I appreciate that. Oh for perspective, he says,

2042
01:44:31,080 --> 01:44:35,040
Speaker 1: I'm sixty seven tech interested, capable and listen watch radio

2043
01:44:35,080 --> 01:44:39,240
Speaker 1: TV podcast via streaming. I have Internet radios throughout the house. Mike,

2044
01:44:39,439 --> 01:44:41,639
Speaker 1: thank you for that. I appreciate it. It was tough enough

2045
01:44:41,640 --> 01:44:44,120
Speaker 1: for us to get the bumper music right, so we're

2046
01:44:44,200 --> 01:44:46,080
Speaker 1: getting that and the music, the intro music. I kind

2047
01:44:46,080 --> 01:44:47,519
Speaker 1: of like it's different every time. Oh my gosh, I

2048
01:44:47,520 --> 01:44:51,559
Speaker 1: gotta get through more. Mark says for the caller with

2049
01:44:51,600 --> 01:44:53,439
Speaker 1: the really old iMac, the option to turn it into

2050
01:44:53,439 --> 01:44:55,960
Speaker 1: a Chromebook might really be the best option. Because the

2051
01:44:56,000 --> 01:45:00,120
Speaker 1: web browsers aren't updated for old mac os versions, a

2052
01:45:00,120 --> 01:45:03,200
Speaker 1: lot of websites won't work. Uri says, Hey, Rich, I

2053
01:45:03,240 --> 01:45:05,960
Speaker 1: always look forward to your weekly show via Apple podcasts.

2054
01:45:05,960 --> 01:45:09,320
Speaker 1: You have an excellent way of simplifying tech into Layman's terminology.

2055
01:45:09,840 --> 01:45:12,559
Speaker 1: Yad someone whose contents was stolen from the trunk of

2056
01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:14,840
Speaker 1: their car, and I wanted to add a tiny tip.

2057
01:45:15,320 --> 01:45:18,080
Speaker 1: When storing anything in your trunk, move it before you

2058
01:45:18,120 --> 01:45:20,280
Speaker 1: get into the place you're going to park. Otherwise everyone

2059
01:45:20,320 --> 01:45:22,439
Speaker 1: around you will see you putting them into the trunk

2060
01:45:22,479 --> 01:45:24,320
Speaker 1: of your car as you walk away. That's so smart

2061
01:45:24,320 --> 01:45:27,439
Speaker 1: and I've thought about that, Jerry and Cleveland, says Rich.

2062
01:45:27,479 --> 01:45:29,679
Speaker 1: You were talking about the use of what three words

2063
01:45:29,720 --> 01:45:31,920
Speaker 1: on your show last week. I use it to locate

2064
01:45:31,960 --> 01:45:35,559
Speaker 1: my parents' graves at the massive cemetery they're buried at.

2065
01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:37,920
Speaker 1: Even when I know the section, it would take me

2066
01:45:37,960 --> 01:45:40,640
Speaker 1: ten or fifteen minutes of walking to find their headstones.

2067
01:45:40,720 --> 01:45:43,720
Speaker 1: Now the app takes me right there. Sorry for you're

2068
01:45:43,720 --> 01:45:46,560
Speaker 1: a loss, but Gerald, that's a great Jerry, that's a

2069
01:45:46,600 --> 01:45:50,880
Speaker 1: great use in Cleveland, Ohio. And finally, Roger Miller says,

2070
01:45:51,280 --> 01:45:53,320
Speaker 1: I was listening to what your son said about Final

2071
01:45:53,360 --> 01:45:56,559
Speaker 1: Cut Pro and the iPad, and I'm very inspired. I'm

2072
01:45:56,560 --> 01:45:59,240
Speaker 1: a forty plus year video editor who's been trying to

2073
01:46:00,160 --> 01:46:05,000
Speaker 1: get basic functionality, and your son's accomplishments with Final Cut

2074
01:46:05,040 --> 01:46:09,000
Speaker 1: Pro inspired me to give another go and bingo, I'm

2075
01:46:09,040 --> 01:46:13,000
Speaker 1: now doing basic functions and I have worked. Now I'm

2076
01:46:13,000 --> 01:46:16,000
Speaker 1: working on Final Cut Pro. Thank you to your son.

2077
01:46:16,120 --> 01:46:18,320
Speaker 1: I'm finally on my way. Thanks to your show, and

2078
01:46:18,400 --> 01:46:21,320
Speaker 1: keep up the good work. Sincerely, Roger, Roger, thanks for listening,

2079
01:46:21,320 --> 01:46:24,639
Speaker 1: and thanks to you for listening. My name is rich Demiro.

2080

Speaker 1: Another show in the can. Thanks for being a part

2081
01:46:28,520 --> 01:46:30,920
Speaker 1: of it. Rich on Tech, We'll see you next week.

2082
01:46:31,040 --> 01:46:31,439
Speaker 1: Take care,
