1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Samsung on veils it's newest foldable phones, and early reviews

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: are pretty strong. A new wearable lets you track blood

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: pressure without a cuff and it's FDA approved. Why one

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: woman spent a year receiving hundreds of Amazon returns to

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: her house? Plus your tech questions answered? What's going on

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: on Rich Demiro And this is Rich on Tech. This

7
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: is the show where I talk about the tech stuff

8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: I think you should know about. It's also the place

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: where I answer your questions about technology. I believe that

10
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: tech should be interesting, useful, and fun. Let's open up

11
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: those phone lines at triple eight rich one oh one.

12
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: That's eight eight eight seven four to two four one

13
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: zero one, triple eight, rich one oh one. Give me

14
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: a call if you have a question about technology. You

15
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: can also send me an email. Just go to Rich

16
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: on Tech dot tv and hit contact Guests. This week

17
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: we've got Patrick Chome of Samsung. He's going to talk

18
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: about the company's new line of foldables and why he

19
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: believes now is the time to jump on board. And

20
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: later we've got Ari Paparo, a former Google executive and

21
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: author of Yield How Google bought, built, and bullied its

22
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: way to advertising dominance. They'll talk about how Google quietly

23
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: took over digital advertising. Well, this week I was on

24
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,559
Speaker 1: the road once again. It has been a very, very

25
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: busy summer. This week I was in Brooklyn for Samsung's

26
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: Unpacked event. Now, they usually do two of these a year,

27
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: one for their standard S series of phones, like the

28
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: Galaxy S twenty five, and then one for their Z series,

29
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: which are their foldables. Now, if you look at a Z,

30
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: I guess that kind of looks like a fold ball.

31
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: I guess you might remember last year they launched their

32
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: foldable phones in Paris along with their smart ring. The

33
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: year before it was in Seoul, South Korea, where I

34
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: also got to take a tour of their headquarters. By

35
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: the way, if the tech person that you like is

36
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: not going to all of these various events, you got

37
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: to think to yourself, how can they have perspective on

38
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: all of this stuff. It is a lot of work

39
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: to travel to all of these different places to be

40
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: there in person, you know. So I make a point

41
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: to do that because I want to see how Samsung

42
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: does things. I want to see how Nothing does their stuff.

43
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: I want to see how Apple does their stuff. If

44
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: the person you're following is only going to one place

45
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: or no places? How can they have that perspective talking

46
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: to people on the ground, meeting with people going hands

47
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: on with these new devices. Just remember that now this

48
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: event was focused on the Z Fold seven and the

49
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: Z Flip seven. Keep in mind, Samsung has been making

50
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: foldable since twenty nineteen and they've come such a long way.

51
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: The first one was so basic. If you've got to

52
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: speck a dust in the hinge, the entire screen would

53
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: just go caput. It would just be broken. Now, not

54
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: so much anymore. These latest foldables are very refined, and

55
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: this year's models might finally be good enough to replace

56
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: your regular smartphone. Oh my gosh, did I really just

57
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: say that. Let's start with the Fold seven. The first

58
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: thing you notice when you pick this device up I've

59
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: got it here in my hand is how thin and

60
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: light it is. It is a huge departure from the

61
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: bulky design of the previous models. But the biggest improvement

62
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: is really the cover screen. This is the screen you

63
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: use the most when this device is folded. It is

64
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: actually usable for day to day tasks. The outside screen

65
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: is now six point five inches, way wider than before

66
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: previous models. I just couldn't use because the outside screen

67
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: was just too narrow. This one you can actually use

68
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: now when you open it up. It's eight inches, basically

69
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,119
Speaker 1: a mini tablet in your pocket, and for the first time,

70
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: it has Samsung's best two hundred megapixel camera.

71
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: I've been using it for the past few days.

72
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: It takes great pictures, just what you'd expect from a

73
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: Samsung and I think that's a good thing that they

74
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: added to this device because now it's a proper camera

75
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: as well. Now there are a few downgrades for starters.

76
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: Samsung dropped Stylus support. That means you cannot use an

77
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: spen with this device, which is kind of a bummer

78
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: because they say it's a productivity powerhouse. And of course

79
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: the price went up by one hundred dollars, making an

80
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: expensive phone even more expensive. So how much is this

81
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: thing gonna cost? The z Fold seven is two thousand

82
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: dollars for a two hundred and fifty six gigabyte version

83
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: with twelve gigabytes of RAM. If you really want to

84
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: go all out and your money's just burning a major

85
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: hole in your pocket, you can get a one terabyte

86
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: version with sixteen gigabytes of RAM. Now I've been using

87
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: this phone for the past few days, and I can

88
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: tell you that it is finally gotten to a place

89
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: that is really good.

90
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 2: Like I can actually recommend this.

91
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: The outside screen is big enough for doing all the

92
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: day to day tasks you want to do. The inside

93
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: screen is really cool for doing things like your email,

94
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: watching videos, working on spreadsheets. It really is a two

95
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: in one device, so no need to carry a separate

96
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: tablet or even buy one, which, if you think about it,

97
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: that could be you know, three to five hundred dollars

98
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: all by itself, and not one less thing to charge.

99
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: You know, if you're doing your Netflix downloads and things

100
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: when you travel, it's one less thing to worry about.

101
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: But this phone is also super slippery. It does not

102
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: lay flat on a table. It's actually comical how it

103
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: lays When it's on a table. Of course, you'll probably

104
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: put a case on it. And the power button is

105
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: so recessed it is a bit tricky to activate the

106
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: AI or the camera easily, but I did find a workaround.

107
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: There's a little setting in there that will leave the

108
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: power button always on for the fingerprint sensor. You don't

109
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: actually have to push it down to activate it. So

110
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: that makes life a little bit easier. I just figured

111
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: that out. Battery life does not seem great to me.

112
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: They did not improve the battery life on the fold.

113
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 3: Now.

114
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: I've been using it NonStop for the past couple of days,

115
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: so maybe that's why the battery is just always kind of,

116
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: you know, not that impressive to me. But I will

117
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: have to try this for a little bit longer and

118
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: see if the battery life levels out. Now, onto the

119
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: Flip seven. This is the smaller phone that closes like

120
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: a clamshell or if you had one of those old

121
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: school motorol erasers. It's like that. It's like an old

122
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: school flip phone, except much more modern. Now on this one,

123
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: the first thing you notice is that the outside screen,

124
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: which Samsung calls the cover screen, is now pushed all

125
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: the way to the edges. So basically the entire front

126
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: of the phone is now a screen, and it has

127
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: two camera hole cutouts. They did a cute little thing

128
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: where they showed a picture of the phone on the

129
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: stage like a big screen picture, and it was a

130
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: picture of a dog and the eyes were the camera

131
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: hole cutouts. Now, when you open up the phone, you

132
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: get a proper six point nine inch display in the

133
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: ratio that you're used to, so again it's not as

134
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: narrow as before. The big deal with these phones that

135
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: was kind of a problem was that they were too

136
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: narrow to use. Now Samsung figured out how to make

137
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: them almost as wide as our standard phones that they

138
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: feel a little bit better when you're using them day

139
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: to day.

140
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 4: Now.

141
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: One of the big complaints of the Flip has always

142
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: been the battery life. Samsung did address that they increased

143
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: the battery by three hundred million hours, which is just

144
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: under ten percent more battery life while more battery capacity,

145
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: I should say, but that should really help on this

146
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: tiny device. Now, the camera hardware, they didn't add anything new,

147
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: but they did, of course say they improved the software processing,

148
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: but they always say that, but this thing is always

149
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: taking good pictures. Here's the neat part about the foldable

150
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: form factor if you're not familiar with it. Basically, when

151
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: you take your selfies and videos, you can use the

152
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: best cameras, the outer cameras, the main camera lenses. That's

153
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: because you can leave the phone closed and use the

154
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: front screen to see what you're taking a photo off.

155
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: So it's a really nice benefit that no matter what

156
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: kind of photo or video you're capturing, whether it's a

157
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: regular video, regular photo, or a selfie, you're always using

158
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: the best cameras, and so Samsung sort of positions this

159
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: as like a creator's friend. Of course, most of the

160
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: creators I know are using iPhone. Pricing on the z

161
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: Flip stays the same eleven hundred dollars. There's also Gemini

162
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: AI built into both.

163
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 2: Of these devices.

164
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: Of course we know that, but it's really useful on

165
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: these phones, especially compared to the half baked AI that's

166
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: built into the iPhone. Let's be honest, you're not even

167
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: using AI in the iPhone for anything. I mean, if

168
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: you are, I don't know what you're doing, because for me,

169
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: it's all about chat, GBT and Gemini.

170
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: I'm not.

171
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 1: I don't even know if Siri has the smarts that

172
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: I need. Let's see what else. Oh, these phones are

173
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: also much more usable because of Gemini AI. So you

174
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: can now leave this little flip z flip closed and

175
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: you can just activate the AI to do all kinds

176
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: of stuff, including functions on the phone that you.

177
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 2: Just couldn't do before.

178
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: And I'll have more of my interview later on with

179
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: the Samsung rep but he mentions this that like things

180
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: you couldn't do before, you can now do on these

181
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: phones because of AI, like all the commands you want

182
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: to do are functionable because of that.

183
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 2: It's pretty neat. Now.

184
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: I know these prices are high, but remember nobody pays

185
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 1: full price for Samsung products. There's always some sort of promotion,

186
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: trade in deal, or discount out there, so be sure

187
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: to look out for that if you are purchasing one

188
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: of these. Someone my Instagram yesterday sent me a little

189
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: screenshot of them buying the new z Fold and they

190
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: traded in their old phone. They got a bunch of

191
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: money for that, and they also got some sort of discount.

192
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: I think it was like an education discount. So again,

193
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: always be on the lookout for those discounts. Now, if

194
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: two thousand dollars or even eleven hunters too much for you,

195
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: they're also making a flip f e edition which has

196
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: a smaller outside screen, a lesser battery, and no dedicated

197
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: zoom lens. That's going to sell for nine hundred dollars,

198
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: probably cheaper because they'll discount that one even more heavily.

199
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: But if I were you, if you're gonna get these,

200
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: I would go with the standard one. The Z Flip

201
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: is gonna give you much better specs than that the

202
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: fe model. All of these phones go on sale July

203
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: twenty fifth, and so far, pretty much everyone I have

204
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: talked to, all the other folks at the event with me,

205
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: they all agree that these phones have finally hit the

206
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: point where you can comfortably switch and not miss a

207
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: thing now, unless, of course, you have to have an

208
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: iPhone in iOS and a lot of people feel that way.

209
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: They don't want to switch to a Samsung, no matter

210
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: how compelling these new form factors are, because they want Apple.

211
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: And Apple, of course, is rumored to launch their first

212
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: foldable next year in twenty twenty six.

213
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 2: And you know that I'm gonna be.

214
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: Talking about it right here on this radio show, and

215
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: people are gonna be going wild over it, and they're

216
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: even going to pretend that Samsung has not been doing

217
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: this for the past six years.

218
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: Now, all right, we got a lot on today's show.

219
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: I am feeling good.

220
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about my trip to New York City,

221
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: tell you the rest restaurants I went to and how

222
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: they couldn't be more different. We'll talk about Prime Day,

236
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 5: Hey, Rich, thanks for taking my call.

237
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

238
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 5: My wife and I purchased a camper that does not

239
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 5: have a TV or audio equipment in it, and I

240
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 5: don't need help picking any of that equipment for c

241
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 5: But what I would like to do is somehow be

242
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 5: able to screen cast or play Hulu on a TV

243
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 5: or some device in the camp or from my Android phone,

244
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 5: and I have not found out a way.

245
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 3: To be able to do that.

246
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 5: See what you got for some ideas or suggestions.

247
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: So you want to play Hulu from your phone, but

248
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: you don't, let's see here, So you're.

249
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 5: Sorry, and without turning on the hot spot on the phone.

250
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: Right, So you're not You're there's no network on the

251
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 1: TV basically, because my my initial thought is get a

252
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: Chrome cast and just plug that into the back of

253
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: the TV, and you can do it that way, but

254
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: you would need a network for that to run on.

255
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 5: Correct And and the hotspot turned on on the phone.

256
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: Hmmm, that's a tricky one. Um, let me think about this.

257
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: So what about a cable from the phone to the TV?

258
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 2: Can you do that? What kind of phone did?

259
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've tried it. It's a Samsung A fifty three five, okay,

260
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 3: And I did get a USB C to HDMI cable

261
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 3: and I couldn't end up getting it connected to the TV.

262
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 3: But I was able to connect the TV through the Roku,

263
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 3: but then it wouldn't play Hulu. And I guess from

264
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 3: my understanding, Hulu has the restrictions so that you can't

265
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 3: do screen mirroring on an Android phone for some reason.

266
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: What do you mean by that? What do you mean

267
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: you got what where's the Roku come into play here?

268
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 3: Okay?

269
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 5: Well I tried it at home because we have Roku's

270
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 5: in the house.

271
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Well, at home and at home it's going

272
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: to be a lot easier because you have a Wi

273
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: Fi network and that you know, you can you can

274
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: pretty much either cast or whatever you want to the TV.

275
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 3: Correct.

276
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: So it's in the camper where you don't have a network,

277
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: where you're trying to get this connected to the TV wirelessly,

278
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: that's going to be a problem. I mean, there there

279
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: there might be a way that you could set up.

280
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: The thing about chrome cast is that what it's doing

281
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: is it's not actually casting it from your phone. It's

282
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: just taking like an instruction to say, hey, on the

283
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: back end, find this signal and play it, right, like,

284
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 1: go to this, go to this connection and play that

285
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: that thing. Yeah, so without without a connection like a

286
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: Wi Fi connection, I don't think you're gonna be able

287
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: to do that very easily. That not that I can

288
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: think of.

289
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and yeah, because I you know, I tried that,

290
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 3: and yeah, it won't it won't work. It won't work

291
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 3: on a chrome cast because yeah, like you said, chrome

292
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 3: cast takes the you know, app instructions and whatnot permissions

293
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 3: from the phone and then it streams directly from the

294
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 3: Wi Fi source. But if I don't have the hot

295
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 3: spot on, then I won't be able to do that.

296
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 3: What about like using some sort of a tablet with

297
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 3: it that has a SIM card in it.

298
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: Well, okay, you can do that, I mean very easily.

299
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: But why would you want that versus just getting If

300
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: you're going to pay for a SIM and the tablet,

301
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: are you going to watch it on the tablet or

302
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: watch it on the TV?

303
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 5: Well it would probably Well I haven't investigated too much

304
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 5: into that to find out if I could do anything

305
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 5: with getting the image from the.

306
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 3: Tablet out to a TV, but that was my next

307
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 3: big I guess IDEA.

308
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 2: Well, I mean you could easily do that.

309
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: I mean, look, a standard iPad will definitely HDMI out

310
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: to the TV. Now whether the app allows, Like you said,

311
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: there are some restrictions on apps that they don't necessarily

312
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: like to mirror to TVs because of copyright reasons. So

313
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the best solution. I think if

314
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: you're going to get a SIM card in a tablet,

315
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: you might as well just set up the Wi Fi

316
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: network or use the hotspot on your phone, or you

317
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: can get one of these like t Mobile five G

318
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: home Internet devices and just use that for your Internet

319
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: inside the the RV or the camper, or you could

320
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: just you know, or you can just get a better

321
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: plan on your phone and use the hot spot. So

322
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, because you're out and about and

323
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: you're on the go, that you're really limited because you

324
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: need that internet connection to get it onto the big screen.

325
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's correct.

326
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: The other thing you can do, I mean, it doesn't

327
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: help with the content that you are watching on streaming services,

328
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: but you could download content to a flash drive and

329
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: then put it on the TV that way. The problem

330
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: is most of the content these days is all streaming

331
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: and it's not really downloadable unless you're getting into a

332
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: gray area. But I don't really recommend that kind of stuff,

333
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: so I can't mention that. But yeah, so I mean

334
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: I think that the hot spot, making the hot spot

335
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: allotment on your phone more generous, I guess would help

336
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: with this situation because I think the chrome cast really

337
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: is the easiest way, or a roku, I mean either way,

338
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: like you can get any stick for the back of

339
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: this TV, plug it in and then you can easily get.

340
00:16:58,840 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 2: All the streaming services.

341
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: But without that Wi Fi network or without that hotspot,

342
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: it is really tricky. Harland and now that we talked

343
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: about this. Maybe there are some other folks that are

344
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: listening that have some solutions that they've come up within

345
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: their camper that maybe I'm not thinking about. So we'll

346
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: stay on the lookout for those good question. Thanks for

347
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 1: the call today from Green Bay, Wisconsin eight eight eight

348
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: rich one O one eight eight eight seven four to

349
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 1: two four one zero one. We'll talk about Prime Day,

350
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: what shoppers actually bought and how much they saved or spent.

351
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: I guess coming up right here on rich on Tech.

352
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging

353
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 1: out with you, talking technology at Triple eight rich one

354
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: O one eight eight eight seven four to two four

355
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: one zero one. Before the break, we had Harland in

356
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: Wisconsin asking about how to watch Hulu on a tee

357
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: and his camper but without any Wi Fi or hotspot,

358
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: and I think I figured out the way. I think

359
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 1: he was onto something with the tablet situation. So I

360
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: looked up and Hulu does indeed support an HDMI cable

361
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: to stream from an iPhone or an iPad, so if

362
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: he gets a little adapter he can connect his Let's

363
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: say he bought an iPad, just an inexpensive iPad, gets

364
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 1: the adapter and plugs that iPad into the TV. That

365
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: way he'd be able to watch Hulu. But here's the thing.

366
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: He'd probably have to download the content to that iPad

367
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: before he leaves his home, or he can use the

368
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: hotspot on his phone to download the stuff to the tablet.

369
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 1: But I think that may work, but it's not the

370
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: best solution. It's not the prettiest solution. But the tricky

371
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: part is that he has that Samsung smartphone that doesn't

372
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: seem to support the video out. So if he had

373
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: an iPhone, it'd probably be a little bit easier of

374
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: a process. You just connect it right to the TV.

375
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: So lots of ways to kind of figure out how

376
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 1: to do that. That's just one of them. Maybe there's

377
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: some others. Prime Day, yes, four days. We made it

378
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: through Prime Day, made it through another Prime Day, if

379
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: you can believe it. We bought just a couple of things.

380
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: I had a bunch of stuff in my car, a

381
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: bunch of plans. Even over four days, I still put

382
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: it off and by the end I was like, ah,

383
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,959
Speaker 1: I guess I won't buy anything. But we did do

384
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: this thing. I don't know if this has ever happened

385
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: to you. But my wife and I will often put

386
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: stuff in the Amazon cart and the other person might

387
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: order it by accident and be like, oh, hey, I

388
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: ordered those pants you wanted. I'm like, oh, I don't

389
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: really want them, I just put them in the cart.

390
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: Well this time, And this has happened several times. I

391
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 1: sometimes put things in the cart multiple times. And so

392
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 1: I had two pairs of these sweatpants that I wanted,

393
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: and we get them delivered and I'm like, why do

394
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 1: I have two pairs of sweatpants. She's like, oh, well,

395
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: they were just in the car. I said, Ah, it's

396
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: a mistake. So look at the quantities, because if you're

397
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: like me and you're always on Amazon, you're always adding stuff.

398
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: Sometimes you add more than one so that happens. But

399
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: how much did people spend total online spending? This includes

400
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: all retailers online. According to Adobe Analytics, twenty four billion

401
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: dollars over those four days, up thirty percent from last year.

402
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,239
Speaker 1: Mobile shopping dominated over fifty three percent of purchases were

403
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: made on phones, and people were using the AI tools.

404
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: I don't they say they were using Alexa plus. I

405
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: don't know if I believe that. I don't know how

406
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: many people have access to that, but Rufus was the

407
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: one I told you about how to use that to

408
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: find the price history, which is very convenient. Top selling

409
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 1: items ring battery, doorbell, fire, TV stick, AirPods, Pro two,

410
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: Alexa devices, Bio Dance, Collagen, masks, Dawn powerwash. I mean,

411
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: how unexciting is it to buy dish soap on Prime Day?

412
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: Oh it's Prime Day, Let me buy my dish soap.

413
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: I mean, the fact that Amazon's calling that out is

414
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: one of the biggest purchases.

415
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 2: I have no doubt it really works.

416
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: I love don I think down is one of the

417
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: best best dish assurgents, but I mean it's just funny.

418
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: Kids apparel also surged. Home security, refrigerators, headphones, power tools,

419
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: and computers and school supplies also very popular. Biggest discounts clothes, electronics, toys, TVs,

420
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: and appliances.

421
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 2: Let's see what else.

422
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: Apparently, generative AI and influencer content played a big role.

423
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: AI driven shopping traffic rows three percent. I agree with

424
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: that because a lot of people are starting to use chat,

425
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: GBT and Gemini for product recommendations. There's also a website

426
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: called vetted dot ai which does product recommendations based on

427
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: all the different reviews out there, so worth the stop

428
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:44,959
Speaker 1: if you want to look at things like if you're

429
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: looking for the best whatever noise canceling headphones, I know

430
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: you can call me, but you can also look at

431
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: this vetted dot AI. You know the stuff that I recommend.

432
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: I typically like to test and try personally before I

433
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 1: just go ahead and recommend it. Let's go to Adarsha

434
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: in Michigan. You're on with Rich.

435
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 6: Hi, good morning, thanks for taking my call. I'm a

436
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 6: hurt patient just got back from Cleveland clinic waiting on

437
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 6: a heart transplant. Oh wow, and produced significant health issues.

438
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 6: But I'm fortunate there were people over the house when

439
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 6: I passed out and they called my one. But most

440
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 6: of the time, I'm single, and I want to know

441
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 6: should should I get the life alert or would a

442
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 6: smart watch be just as comparable for emergency services?

443
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 3: Now?

444
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 6: I know the smart watch is Bluetooth enabled, and you

445
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 6: know is that you know? Do you have to have

446
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 6: your phone nearby? I think that's the deal. And is

447
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 6: it considered reliable enough that you know if something happens,

448
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 6: Because some of them are say that if you fall,

449
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 6: they'll automatically call.

450
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that's the Well. First off, I'm

451
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: glad you're doing better. I know this is probably a

452
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: scary situation when that happened, and no one ever wants

453
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: to go through that, But the fact that you're on

454
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: your way to recovery is good.

455
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 2: I do like that.

456
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: This is you know, this is a tricky situation because

457
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: this is this is a serious condition, and you know

458
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: this is just consumer advice I'm giving. But I would

459
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: say the fall detection is probably the thing you want

460
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: the most because the fact that you may be in

461
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: a position to press this alert on another device to

462
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: call for help, that may not be the case from

463
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: what you're telling me right, Like, you may be in

464
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: a position where you can't press a button or you

465
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: can't dial nine one one. So the fact that the

466
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: smart watch offers the fall detection, I would think would

467
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 1: push it over the edge to what I would choose.

468
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 1: But you have to keep in mind this is not perfect.

469
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: Like I've been playing football my kids outside, the thing

470
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: goes off. Other times I'll take a hard fall and

471
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't go off. So I think it's gotten better

472
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: over time, but it is an algorithm. But I think

473
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 1: it's probably your best bet and both. I know the

474
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: pixel watch has fall detection. I know the Apple Watch

475
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: has fall detection. Are you on iOS or Android?

476
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 6: Android?

477
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: Okay, so which watcher you looking at? I'm trying to

478
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: looks like the Samsung smart watches do have the fall

479
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: detection as well.

480
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 6: So yeah, I think the song eight, Yeah, something like that.

481
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: That's the one I'm wearing right now. I just just

482
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,959
Speaker 1: got the new one to test. I've not set up

483
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: the safety features, but that I would probably go towards

484
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: the smart watch. The only other thing the consideration that

485
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: you were kind of mentioning is the bluetooth connectivity versus

486
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: cellular connectivity in your case, because you have an established

487
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: medical condition that you're now kind of watching out for.

488
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 1: I would say I would want the cellular because the

489
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: problem is with the bl tooth. If your phone is

490
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 1: not in nearby er, that connection is not perfect. Your

491
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: your watch may not be able to get through to

492
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: nine one one, so that could be a problem.

493
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 6: I was a little worried about that portion because you know,

494
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 6: I have these little bluetooth speakers. Every once in a

495
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 6: while it doesn't pick up. You got to turn the

496
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 6: thing off, turn it back, you know, and try again.

497
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 6: So I don't know why it does that, it just does.

498
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 6: And so that's what my concern was. I'm not going

499
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 6: to have the wherewithal to turn off, turn on, try again.

500
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: No, And most of the time the connection is pretty

501
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: good any and the Samsung Watch will actually alert you

502
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: with a vibration if your watch, if your watch is

503
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 1: not connected to your phone, or if it loses a connection.

504
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. So that's a nice thing there, and it doesn't

505
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 2: happen very often.

506
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: Are you in a large place where you might leave

507
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: your phone in a separate area of the house very often?

508
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 6: I generally don't. I usually keep my phone with me,

509
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 6: you know, so that's not really an issue. I don't know.

510
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 6: I was thinking, should I just get both, you know,

511
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 6: to be doubly sure.

512
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: The life alert, the LFE alert and the watch. Yeah,

513
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 1: that might be. That might be a bit much, especially

514
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: for the budget. I mean, if budget was no concern,

515
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: you want to do that. But to me, I think

516
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: that what I would do personally is maybe talk to

517
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 1: a doctor or two that you trust and get their

518
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: take on it and see what they think. But I

519
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 1: personally think that the the watch detection is probably a

520
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: really good bet, and it's something that you know, a

521
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: lot of people are already relying on. I think it's

522
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: it's been proven that it's saved lives over the past

523
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: couple of years that these features have been invented. And

524
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: I would go through and just make sure that everything

525
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 1: is set up properly on both your phone and your watch.

526
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: And you might also look into getting a smart speaker

527
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: that can handle an emergency alert like the Alexa. I

528
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: know they've got this feature where you can I think

529
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: you pay like five bucks a month, but you can

530
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: call for help. Like let's say you fell and you

531
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: were still able to speak, you could call for help

532
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: through that speaker as well. So that's another avenue just

533
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: to make sure you're covered in every aspect of this.

534
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 5: But what does it look like you have to pay

535
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 5: a monthly fee?

536
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 2: No, no, you just you just buy the watch and

537
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 2: you're and you're good to go.

538
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Darsha, and we wish you the best.

539
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 2: Thank you, thanks for the call today. I appreciate that.

540
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: Uh well, speaking of heart, you ever feel tightness in

541
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 1: your chest, to flutter, maybe shortness of breath? You wonder

542
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 1: is this serious or is it just stress. Well, the

543
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: truth is you can't run to your doctor every time,

544
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: but what if it is something I've got a lot

545
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: of notes about this. One listener wrote me how he

546
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: thought he had a mild case of pneumonia. Turns out

547
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: it was atrial fibrillation or a FIB. He ended up

548
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: in the hospital for a week, Which is why I

549
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: like the Cardia Mobile six L. It's the most advanced

550
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: personal EKG you can buy. It is FDA cleared to

551
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 1: detect a FIB, a leading cause of stroke, and it

552
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: gives you six views of your heart in just thirty

553
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: seconds using your phone.

554
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 2: I have tried this. I have tested it. It is

555
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 2: so easy.

556
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: The six L does everything you need. You can see

557
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: your heart, the information coming from your heart, and you've

558
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: got two types of readings. You've got a simple reading

559
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: and you've got a little bit of a more in

560
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 1: depth reading where you put this little device on your

561
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 1: ankle and you hold it in your hand, and.

562
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 2: It is so easy.

563
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: It gives you, like I said, six views of your

564
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 1: heart in just thirty seconds, and all you need is

565
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: your smartphone. This is more accurate than a smart watch,

566
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: it's at a fraction of the cost and It's perfect

567
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 1: to use at home or in between doctor visits. Once again,

Speaker 5: Here.

586
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: I told you I was in New York City this

587
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: week and always always love being there. And my wife

588
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: actually accompanied me on this business trip, which she never does,

589
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: by the way, like never ever in the history I've

590
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: been traveling for fifteen years. I don't think she's ever

591
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: joined me on a trip. This time she had the time,

592
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 1: she had some time off, so she did, and of

593
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: of course, you know, I'm working the whole time, and

594
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: I realized I never realized how much I work until

595
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: you have someone else that you're trying to like do

596
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: things with, and so I'm like, I still got one

597
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: more thing to do, one more thing to do. Oh,

598
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: I gotta wake up early for this. Oh I gotta

599
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: go to sleep late for that. Oh, I got to

600
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: go to this party. So it was great, and I

601
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: at one point I made the mistake because I felt

602
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: really bad. I said, oh, this isn't going to happen again,

603
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: and she was like, what do you mean. I was like, oh,

604
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:25,959
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just not really working out.

605
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 2: She's like, what do you mean?

606
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: I thought I'd been very accommodating, So I probably shouldn't

607
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: have said that. You ever say something to your wife

608
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: and you see the look on their face and you

609
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: realize like immediately that you should not have said that.

610
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: And that was that experience. I was like just thinking

611
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: I was saying something factual, and she was just like,

612
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: wait what, and it was just yeah, we did go

613
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: to a couple good restaurants. We couldn't have gone to

614
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: two more different restaurants we went. We stayed near Little

615
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: Italy and so, which was amazing. You know, I'm Italian

616
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: and so I just had the greatest time walking those

617
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: streets and you know, like half the signs like sopranos

618
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: and stuff. But we went to this one little place

619
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: that I found, I want to tell you the name,

620
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: Asteria Baroca in Little Italy.

621
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 2: Loved it.

622
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, so good, so on assuming and they

623
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: make their own pasta. The way you can tell a

624
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: good Italian restaurant if they make the pasta in house.

625
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: And if you ever go to an Italian restaurant, say

626
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: are any of these pastas made here? And ninety nine

627
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: percent of the time they're not, But if they have

628
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: any that are, get that.

629
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 2: And then I went out.

630
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: We had a big dinner at my family members, which

631
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: my family's wild and crazy. When they get together, it's

632
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: a bunch of loud folks and there's a bunch of us,

633
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: but it's always fun.

634
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 2: We always have a great time.

635
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: We went to this place in Times Square called Tony Dinapolis,

636
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: and that could not have been more of like a

637
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: tourist y trap kind of place. But I'm saying that

638
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: in a very nice way. It was excellent, like the

639
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: waiter was amazing. And he said the best thing to me,

640
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: This was the best thing that he said. He said,

641
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: I just moved here from I think he said, Lithuania

642
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: a year ago. And we said, oh, how do you

643
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: like it? Be goes, I love it. It's America. And

644
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: I just that puts such a smile on my face

645
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: to hear that from him. I really did like that,

646
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: because you know, we I know, there's all kinds of

647
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: stuff going on in the world, but you know, people

648
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: are still happy. There are still happy people out there.

649
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: Archie writes in from Jackson, Mississippi, listening on one oh

650
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: three nine w YAB and six twenty w jd X.

651
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: I used to remove backgrounds from images using PowerPoint, but

652
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: I don't have access to it anymore. Is there a

653
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: free desktop or online tool that lets me remove backgrounds

654
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: manually like PowerPoint used to do?

655
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 7: Uh?

656
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 5: Yeah.

657
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:34,719
Speaker 2: A couple things to look out for.

658
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: Number one, there is a website called remove dot BG

659
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: Remove dot BG, Super simple, super easy. That's probably the

660
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: first one that I would go check out. Dragon Drop.

661
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: The second one BG eraser BG eraser get it BG

662
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: background bgeraser dot com. That's another good option, BG eraser.

663
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: Let me tell you which one's my favorite. I gotta

664
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: look at these to see. Okay, that one's my favorite

665
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: BG eraser dot com. And then you've got pixi in

666
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: p i x i a n dot Ai p i

667
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: x i a n dot Ai. Oh wait, that one

668
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: I think is my favorite. Sorry, I tested these. Yeah,

669
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: that one's my favorite, pixi in dot Ai. The only

670
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: thing about these is that if you want to download

671
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: a full resolution of the removed background, sometimes they charge

672
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: you more. They might charge you or there might be

673
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: a limit, so you just have to be you know,

674
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: everything has a price, right. And then there's another one

675
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: called cleanup dot pictures cleanup dot pictures, and that's good

676
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: for removing stray objects. So cleanup dot pictures. You got

677
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of options there. Yeah, and then let's

678
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: see here. We've got Kimberly from New Jersey. I love

679
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: taking pictures of the moon using my iPhone thirteen, but

680
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: at night they just come out looking like a blob.

681
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: I was wondering if the newest iPhone would have better

682
00:33:56,200 --> 00:34:00,040
Speaker 1: results taking pictures of the moon at night. No, you

683
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: don't know, iPhone takes pictures of the moon, unless you

684
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:07,239
Speaker 1: get They do sell on Amazon, these little magnifiers that

685
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: you can plug into like a telescope and that will

686
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 1: take a clear picture and they're only like a couple bucks.

687
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: But if you really want to capture the moon, Samsung

688
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: is the only phone that I know of that does

689
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: that in a very good way. Now there's a lot

690
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: of debate around whether that's real or not, but it

691
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: does it. Zoom In's got a hundred times zoom on

692
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 1: the Ultras. You can take a picture of the moon.

693
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: Gary in Los Angeles, what's up?

694
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 8: Yeah, so I'm able to good and again they're rich.

695
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 5: Hi.

696
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 8: Anyways, I have a question about four G to five GC.

697
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 8: I have a Samsung Galaxy SPNN. I love this phone.

698
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 8: The last time I was out in now do you

699
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 8: ever go off to the ans of Barrigo Desert yourself?

700
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 8: You ever watch it?

701
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,760
Speaker 2: Never been? But I'm sure you can take great pictures

702
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 2: of the moon out there?

703
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, absolutely yeah. Well to take good photos of

704
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 8: the moon you need a real lens, like a five

705
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 8: hundred Momter lens. Absolutely now. But I'm out there photographing birds,

706
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 8: which is what I do. If you talk to Leo,

707
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 8: I was known as doctor Bird and uh, I'm out

708
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 8: there and uh I got a flat tire, and so

709
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 8: I wanted to call and talk to my friend at

710
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 8: Costco and make sure you can get me a tire

711
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,439
Speaker 8: while I'm out there. And this was two weeks ago.

712
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 8: In the past, my phone worked out there perfect. But

713
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 8: I'm thinking maybe they converted all their cell sites to

714
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 8: five G. And is that why my four G phone

715
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 8: will not work? Uh?

716
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 2: What you said you have Samsung?

717
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 8: What S ten e?

718
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 2: S ten e?

719
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 4: Oh?

720
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 8: And Rachel is a grate puhone, I love it. Yeah.

721
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: No, if it's not broke, don't fix it. I don't

722
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: think they're getting software updates on that phone anymore, right,

723
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: I don't think you gotta be you gotta be, you know,

724
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: be careful with you know, if you're clicking things and

725
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, because that could be a problem.

726
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: You know, these these phones that go out of service,

727
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: they find the exploits in them. That's why they're dangerous

728
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:02,800
Speaker 1: to continue using. So did they convert to five G?

729
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, five G upgrades are happening everywhere, but

730
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: they're not erasing the four G signal when they upgrade

731
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: to five G, So it could have been a fluke.

732
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: It could have been just happened to be the signal

733
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: at that day. Sometimes they do impact the signals when

734
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: they're taking down or they're upgrading a network or a

735
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: cell tower working on it. Sometimes that signal is impacted.

736
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: But there's a million and one reasons why a signal

737
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: could be different or varied in the area that you're in.

738
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: So I don't think that they're getting rid of the

739
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 1: four G signal to upgrade to the five G because

740
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: I know that they're continuing to keep the four G

741
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: signal and network alive. Good question, Gary, Thanks for the

753
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: and tricks I can think of throughout the week, and

754
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: a lot of them I mentioned on the show, but

755
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: you know there's still some stuff in there that's just

756
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:26,439
Speaker 1: not mentioned anywhere else.

757
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 2: So definitely get on the list there.

758
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: Robin wrote in I heard you talking about fall detection

759
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,760
Speaker 1: and getting help, and we were deciding between Life Alert

760
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: and a smartphone. Robin says, while Life Alert does not

761
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: offer automatic fall detection, one big benefit is that they

762
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: have access to your home. My mom fell when she

763
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 1: was home alone because Life Alert had access to her

764
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: lock box, Paramedics were able to get in take her

765
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: to the hospital, and Life Alert called me right away.

766
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, there's pros and cons to all of this stuff.

767
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 1: But Robin, good take on that. And I'm glad that

768
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: your mom was able to get help quick and that

769
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: they called you.

770
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 2: That's pretty neat as well.

771
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: Let's see, We've got lots going on in this hour,

772
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: including an interview with Patrick Chome of Samsung. He's going

773
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 1: to talk about the company's new line of foldable phones.

774
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: I've been using the z Fold seven and I gotta

775
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 1: say it is they They did a great job. Like

776
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: there's no reason why I wouldn't recommend this phone to

777
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: someone that's interested in it, Like there's no big downside

778
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: if you like a nice big screen on the inside.

779
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: The outside screen is finally usable. It's got a good camera,

780
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 1: it's fast, the software is good. They really did a

781
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: nice job. The only thing is the camera bump on

782
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: this thing is just like out of control. So I

783
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,680

786
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: if it feels like on new usable when you have

787
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: a case on it, because that's going to make it

788
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 1: much bulkier. But yeah, the Samsung Folda boles are pretty

823
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 2: Well, it's because it's it's getting it's getting confused.

824
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 3: So I just.

825
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 2: No, Okay, I.

826
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 9: Went and I follow all the Google advice I went on.

827
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,320
Speaker 9: I went on YouTube, and nothing seemed to work. The

828
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 9: thing that tells me to go ahead enable incoming and

829
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 9: outgoing outgoing calls. But when I pull, you know, bring up,

830
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 9: I don't get it. I don't get you going, I

831
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 9: always say incoming, Yes.

832
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 1: Okay, Well that's just that's just the way it looks

833
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 1: on the desktop. But if you go into your settings,

834
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: there's a setting that I need you to check. This

835
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:54,280
Speaker 1: is I think, what's happening.

836
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 5: Uh.

837
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: There is a setting under calls that says, for outgoing calls,

838
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: always use my phone to place calls. You want to

839
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 1: turn that off, and then that way you can call

840
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: through your desktop and it's going.

841
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 2: To actually.

842
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: Go through your what's that under calls on the outgoing calls?

843
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 1: Incoming calls, it sounds like it's working. But outgoing there's

844
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: a toggle in your settings that says always use my

845
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: phone to place calls, and so it sounds like you

846
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: have that turned on. If that's turned on, what Google

847
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,800
Speaker 1: Voice is doing the desktop is just a conduit to

848
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,240
Speaker 1: dial the number, and then it's actually just completing everything

849
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 1: on your phone, which sounds like you don't want to

850
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: do that.

851
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 2: So if you want to, if you want to make.

852
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 9: Calls, I don't kid that. When I want to learn more,

853
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 9: they and they give me all kinds of different things.

854
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:53,879
Speaker 9: But I cannot turn nothing on or off.

855
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 2: It's under settings.

856
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 9: So you're going to settings.

857
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 2: Scroll down under call. This says outgoing calls, right, okay?

858
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 2: Under that, what does it say?

859
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 9: Learn more?

860
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 2: Okay? And then what was it.

861
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 9: That incoming calls?

862
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 11: So learn more?

863
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 9: It brings with lure no.

864
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 2: No, don't talk, don't tap learn more? What does it

865
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 2: say after that?

866
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 9: Nothing?

867
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 2: There's nothing underneath that.

868
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 9: Always use.

869
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: Yes, turn that off. Oh god, that's it, Nancy. We've

00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 2: I love it. You're the call of the day.

872
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 9: Thank you, Nancy.

873
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: Thanks Nancy. Oh my gosh, this we got a smile

874
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: in here. Oh my gosh. This is what I love

875
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,359
Speaker 1: about this show. I mean, it's just you've looked at

876
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: the settings a thousand times.

877
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 2: You think you have it right.

878
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,879
Speaker 1: You've searched Google to your eyes fall out of your head,

879
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,800
Speaker 1: you've checked a eye and all you gotta do is

880
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: call a human being like myself who's looking at it

881
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 1: on my screen, and here it is.

882
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 2: And they're much easier. Ah, Nancy, that was a great one.

883
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 1: If you used Fubo Fubo TV, they've just agreed to

884
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: a three point four million dollar privacy privacy settlement over

885
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: data sharing. You with all these class action lawsuits, the

886
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: company never admits any wrongdoing, but they just settle it out,

887
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: mostly so the lawyers can get rich. But you get

888
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,959
Speaker 1: a little bit of money too, three point four million

889
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: dollars to settle claims that shared user data with Facebook

890
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: and Google without user consent. The lawsuit says Foubu violated

891
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: the Video Privacy Protection Act, which protects your viewing habits.

892
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 1: So if you used your own or someone else's Fubo

893
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: TV account, So this is the best part about this lawsuit.

894
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: If you are sharing someone else's password, you still get money.

895
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 2: That's what I love. Even if you weren't paying for Fubo.

896
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:55,240
Speaker 1: If you just use someone else's account before May twenty

897
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 1: five year eligible, there's no purchase proof required. Anyone in

898
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 1: the US who streamed Fubo TV qualifies. Deadline to submit

899
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 1: a claim is September twelfth. If you live in California,

900
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: you get one point one time's the base payout if

901
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 1: you certify that you live in the state of California. Payments,

902
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: of course depend on how many people file, and we

903
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,439
Speaker 1: always know that the lawyers get forty percent or fifty

904
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 1: or fifty sixty percent of this, and you get the rest,

905
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,240
Speaker 1: and then you divide it up by all the minions

906
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:30,800
Speaker 1: that apply for this. The website VPPA Data Privacy fubosettlement

907
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: dot com say that ten times fast. VPPA Data Privacy

908
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 1: fubosettlement dot com. I'll put a link on the website.

909
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: Rich on tech dot tv. You have until Thursday October

910
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: or Thursday August twenty eighth to opt out, or Friday

911
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 1: September twelfth to submit a claim. We don't know how

912
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 1: much the claim is going to be worth because they

913
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: have to see how many people do this, and then

914
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 1: they can decide. I guess they divide up. Let's say

915
00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: one hundred people did it. They divide it up by

916
00:45:59,160 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 1: one hundred people.

917
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 2: I don't know. Oh, that's how it works.

Speaker 3: What this is?

965
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 2: My wife was out. I mentioned that I wanted to

966
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 2: try these oreos. So special about them. They're chocolate and

967
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 2: cinnamon cream. Actually sounds kind of good. They are good, yea.

968
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:43,839
Speaker 1: So she was on a hunt every every grocery store

969
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 1: she went to. I just mentioned this in passing once.

970
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 2: To my wife. You know what, I'm taking much for them?

971
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 8: No?

972
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 2: It doesn't, and she just kept.

973
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: Looking for them like it was like she was just

974
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: on automation, Like every grocery store she went to, She's like,

975
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,839
Speaker 1: I couldn't find the Selena Gomez orios. Like I only

976
00:48:57,880 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 1: mentioned them once, but now that you say it, now

977
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 1: you keep reiterating, I gotta try them.

978
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 2: They are pretty good. So anyway, so I brought those

979
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 2: two things today. I'm about to have to look for

980
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 2: him right now because now I gotta try them. Oh no,

981
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 2: I can't have sweets. I'll share one with you. Appreciate it.

982
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,720
Speaker 1: All right, Let's let's go to Jerry and Redondo Beach. Jerry,

983
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:15,360
Speaker 1: what's going on?

984
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:23,320
Speaker 5: They rich, Hi, Well, I don't know se romp account

985
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:30,360
Speaker 5: was suspended because of inappropriate conduct, you know, inappropriate posting.

986
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 2: What were you posting?

987
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 5: I wasn't posting anything, that's the deal. I'm was not

988
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 5: sending anything to YouTube. And when I got to know this,

989
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 5: I said, okay, that picture was on my phone, but

990
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 5: I didn't do a post.

991
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:47,319
Speaker 8: So I kept telling them.

992
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 5: They said, your channel will not be you know, reactivated,

993
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:53,720
Speaker 5: and I thought, I don't even know I had a channel.

994
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:58,320
Speaker 5: So anyway, I figured something out when I go on

995
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 5: the website and I they say, log in with Google. Yes,

996
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 5: by log in with Google, And the unbeknownst to me

997
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:09,839
Speaker 5: and yours is they want to know this too when

998
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 5: I do that, Google has access to all my photos.

999
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 3: I didn't realize that.

1000
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 5: Okay, somebody must have posted them when I logged on

1001
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 5: using my Google passwords.

1002
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: Okay, well, I'm not going to ask what kind of

1003
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:30,399
Speaker 1: photos these are. But here's the thing. When you sign

1004
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 1: in with Google, you have to be very careful about

1005
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: the permissions that a site requests when it does that,

1006
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:41,800
Speaker 1: and every site is different. So just by the virtue

1007
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: of signing in with Google, does not hand over access

1008
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,840
Speaker 1: to your entire Google account. This is called third party

1009
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 1: signing with Google. So it's a feature that basically lets

1010
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 1: you lets you log in to other apps and websites

1011
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 1: using your Google account. So it's convenient, it's simple, it's

1012
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:04,760
Speaker 1: it's one less password to remember. I always recommend creating

1013
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,880
Speaker 1: a unique username and password for every site that you

1014
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: visit and sign up for. I think that that is

1015
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,800
Speaker 1: the best way to keep things in their own lanes.

1016
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 1: Now I understand, it is very simple to sign in

1017
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:19,839
Speaker 1: with Apple, it's simple to sign in with Google. It's

1018
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: simple to sign in with all these third party sites

1019
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 1: because it's one less thing to remember, and you're typically

1020
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: always signed in with Apple or Google. So with that said,

1021
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: you might have signed into a website that did get

1022
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 1: access to your photos. I don't know why that would

1023
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 1: be connected to YouTube, So it could be that there

1024
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 1: was something that YouTube detected on your account. These could

1025
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: be completely unrelated the fact that you had these photos

1026
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: on your phone and the fact that YouTube said no,

1027
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: we got to take your account away because of these photos.

1028
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 2: So I guess the bottom line is you can appeal

1029
00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:58,240
Speaker 2: to YouTube.

1030
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 1: If you're truly not uploading anything that's prohibited to YouTube,

1031
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 1: you can appeal to them and continue to appeal to them.

1032
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 1: And the other thing what I would do is I

1033
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:11,800
Speaker 1: would go to your Google sign in and this is

1034
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 1: called third party.

1035
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 2: You Okay, So here's what you'd want to do.

1036
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:18,879
Speaker 1: So if you go to Okay, I gotta, I gotta

1037
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:21,320
Speaker 1: find this, it's going to take me a second Google

1038
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: third party connected apps Google. So there's a section of

1039
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 1: the Google website that you can look at that'll tell

1040
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 1: you all the things that you have connected to your

1041
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 1: Google account. Okay, it is at my account dot Google

1042
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: dot com slash connections, my account dot Google dot com

1043
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 1: slash connections. This will bring up a list of third

1044
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 1: party apps and services, and there's a lot of ways,

1045
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: Like right now, I've got one hundred and twenty two

1046
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 1: apps and services connected to my Google account, things like Adobe,

1047
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 1: Photoshop or a frames backdrop. Sometimes I do sign in

1048
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,839
Speaker 1: with some of these when it's not very important. I'll

1049
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:07,359
Speaker 1: sign in with Google when I want to be quick.

1050
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 1: So there's three sections says sign in with Google linked

1051
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 1: account or access to and if you go to access to,

1052
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 1: that's the really important one because you can see what

1053
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:25,320
Speaker 1: services have access to your Google information, Calendar, Contacts, Drive, Gmail.

1054
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 1: The ones I would look at very closely are Gmail,

1055
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 1: Google Photos, and Google Drive. Those are the three important

1056
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 1: ones because you store a lot of stuff in there.

1057
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 1: So if I go to Google Drive, I've got a

1058
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:43,400
Speaker 1: couple of things that have access to my Google Drive. Space, Cadet, Pinball,

1059
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 1: probably don't need access to my Google Drive. I will

1060
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 1: turn that off Meta, Google Nest. If I go to

1061
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:51,920
Speaker 1: my Google.

1062
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 2: Photos, let's see what it has access or a.

1063
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:59,239
Speaker 1: Frames, Google takeout, Microsoft three sixty five, import, Roku backdrops,

1064
00:53:59,239 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 1: and photostream.

1065
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 2: So I can go through and delete that if I'm

1066
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 2: not using my Roku.

1067
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:04,799
Speaker 1: And then you can go through and you click one

1068
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 1: of these connections and it says delete all connections you

1069
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:10,799
Speaker 1: have with that service. You delete it, and it will

1070
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:13,880
Speaker 1: confirm it will it won't get rid of whatever that

1071
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,719
Speaker 1: data that company has already taken on their own, but

1072
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 1: it will get rid of them accessing it in the future.

1073
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 1: So again, go to this, do a little cleanup. If

1074
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,400
Speaker 1: you don't need access to these accounts anymore, you can

1075
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:29,400
Speaker 1: get rid of their Google account access and you can

1076
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 1: always reconnect it later if you need it. But it's

1077
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:36,320
Speaker 1: at my account dot Google dot com slash connections. Typically

1078
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 1: we call this third party connections or third party connected apps.

1079
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 2: Go through there, see what has access, clean it up,

1080
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 2: all right.

1081
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:45,560
Speaker 1: Coming up, we're going to talk to Patrick Chomey of

1082
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 1: Samsung about the new foldables the company just released. Mark

1083
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 1: cow Bell, Mark cow Bell, That's the only thing I

1084
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 1: can think of when I hear this song. It was

1085
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 1: a Saturday Night Live sketch. Had to look it up

1086
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: from April two thousand. I am now referencing something that

1087
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:15,879
Speaker 1: happened twenty five years ago. Oh my gosh, I'm old.

1088
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 5: What the heck?

1089
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 1: I feel like I just watched that. Well, all right,

1090
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 1: I guess it happens, Okay. I talked about the Fold

1091
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 1: seven and the Flip seven, Samsung's new smartphones that are foldable. Now,

1092
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 1: let's hear from Samsung. So I talked to Patrick Chome

1093
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:38,800
Speaker 1: of Samsung about these new foldables and why he believes

1094
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 1: now is the time to jump on board.

1095
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:44,759
Speaker 2: What was sort of the primary focus of the fold

1096
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:45,719
Speaker 2: devices this year.

1097
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 10: This year, actually, we wanted to make a big step

1098
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 10: until we call it a big jump, and there are

1099
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 10: two elements of that jump is our seventh generation of

1100
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 10: follible devices. So we wanted to make it really a

1101
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 10: big step in seeing the key remaining issues we listen

1102
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 10: from our customers definitely about the thickness, the weight, durability

1103
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 10: and performance. All of that is massively improved. And then

1104
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 10: the second leg, if you want, of that big jump,

1105
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 10: is on the x eryance side. Obviously, we have massive

1106
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:21,799
Speaker 10: transformation going on with AI and we announce our AI

1107
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:25,360
Speaker 10: strategy two years ago twenty four and now bringing it

1108
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 10: to life with the wonderful benefits of the fullible from factories.

1109
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 10: The second big wreckfow we are with this new generation.

1110
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: What do you think the biggest improvement is to these

1111
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 1: devices that the average person would notice?

1112
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 10: Well, average person, we obviously see the fundamentals from the outside.

1113
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 10: You can compare actually this device to the last fulliable device,

1114
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:51,279
Speaker 10: and there's as much change physically than there have been

1115
00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:56,240
Speaker 10: six crevious generations. Is actually as thin as a regular

1116
00:56:56,360 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 10: smartphone and actually lighter than a regular smartphone, but when

1117
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:04,680
Speaker 10: you open it you have a huge eight inch display. Likewise,

1118
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 10: it's throo the on the flip device, where we have

1119
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 10: a full full screen now, but when you open it,

1120
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 10: you have a twenty by twenty one by nine aspectation,

1121
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 10: which is much more compelling and a regulars math fun

1122
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 10: to watch video. So this is like a novel of technology.

1123
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 10: But I think when people get it in their hands

1124
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 10: they will level be wow.

1125
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:26,959
Speaker 2: I'm sure these phonees happened around for a while.

1126
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 1: What will it take for the average person to want

1127
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 1: to switch to a foldable or a flip like this?

1128
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 3: Not much.

1129
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 10: They need to see it, and I think everybody saw

1130
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 10: it actually really get amazed. And I believe we had

1131
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 10: learned some things over the years. We learned that fundamentals matter,

1132
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:47,760
Speaker 10: So it's fair to say that when we learn the

1133
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 10: third innovation, for example, the flip we did it for

1134
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 10: Initially we are even by the form factor innovation, but

1135
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 10: people told us, yes, it's great from factor, but we

1136
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 10: wish it at a highly forming camera similar towards the flagships,

1137
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 10: so we bought the camera level here similar to seventy five.

1138
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 2: And then the battery.

1139
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 10: Yes, we understand you have to fold it, but it's difficult,

1140
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 10: but I need kind of battery lifetime regular fold, so

1141
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 10: then it should be doable. I don't want to have

1142
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 10: to change it to alsal. And I think all of

1143
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 10: these things which are very basic, I think to really

1144
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 10: deliver them is hard. But that's what we've done actually

1145
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 10: with the previous generation, even more so with that generation.

1146
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 10: So I would say for the normal user, the basics

1147
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:32,919
Speaker 10: are covered, and then on top you have the wall

1148
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 10: and the war. With these amazing use cases that you

1149
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 10: can see, you can work really like, I don't need

1150
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 10: a PC anymore. You can work on the goal and

1151
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 10: manipulating complex documents such as spreadsheets or power points, multitasking.

1152
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 10: You can actually scroll full documents on this side on

1153
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,959
Speaker 10: the heightened side, having your Gemini open and asking about

1154
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 10: the documents move drag and drop, cut and paste from

1155
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 10: different inte is is quite amazing. Addition of AI into

1156
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 10: our user interface make it so much more valuable. A

1157
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 10: lot of things that we wanted to do intuitively in

1158
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 10: the first generation we could answer because the UI was

1159
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 10: not that advanced. But now with a natural user interface

1160
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 10: that we have with AI, it really comes to life.

1161
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 10: I noticed on the fold we got a little bit

1162
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,160
Speaker 10: of a price increase one hundred dollars. Is there any

1163
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 10: reason for that?

1164
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 2: But there is no magic into it.

1165
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 10: We we obviously strive to make the device affordable to

1166
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 10: our consumers at the most effective price points. Of course,

1167
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 10: this device is packed with technology. We have increased the display.

1168
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 10: You have a two hundred, they get Excel camera which

1169
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 10: the same as obvious. Still you have very very most

1170
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:50,040
Speaker 10: powerful computing engine in that thing, able to compute all

1171
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 10: the AI that we have so obviously we have a

1172
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 10: very advanced screen as well, which is now protected with

1173
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 10: a titanium layer to make it that much more durable.

1174
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 10: So there is a lot of investment in the out

1175
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:04,480
Speaker 10: the way there which is reflecting the price. But we

1176
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 10: will continue to make these devices as much as possible

1177
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:11,480
Speaker 10: thought able at the right rice the same song.

1178
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:15,040
Speaker 1: Notice what the consumer feedback is when you see people

1179
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 1: playing with these new features, enjoying them, giving feedback, you

1180
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 1: listen to that and kind of mix it into the

1181
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 1: next ride.

1182
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 10: Absolutely, so we've been as I said, we started the

1183
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 10: journey S twenty four and it's fair to say if

1184
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 10: you ask consumers do you want AI and what's about AI?

1185
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 10: They get its confused, some might get scared. But actually

1186
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 10: what we noticed is if you ask people about the benefits,

1187
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 10: like you have this picture, you want to get this

1188
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 10: unwanted stuff out, and they go, wow, yes, how can

1189
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 10: you do that?

1190
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 2: Of course because we are AI.

1191
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 10: So what we see is a massive usage of those

1192
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 10: things like Circle to Search is used by over fifty

1193
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 10: five percent of the users, which is big because we

1194
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:56,920
Speaker 10: deployed Circle to Search now on well over twentydred billion devices,

1195
01:00:57,080 --> 01:01:00,080
Speaker 10: so this is real. It's not like demos. Deep not

1196
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 10: million was my account last December, so we are way beyond.

1197
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 10: Things like the eraso or the transtation are massively used.

1198
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:12,960
Speaker 10: On S twenty five generation, we notice over seventy percent

1199
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:15,920
Speaker 10: of people use the AI function. They may not even

1200
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:18,959
Speaker 10: know it's AI. They use it because these are basic

1201
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 10: things like dealing with your pictures, taking the unwanted sound off,

1202
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 10: copying documents, summarizing documents, translating, so these becomes like day

1203
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 10: to day activities. And I think it's fine if we

1204
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 10: don't know if it's AI, so long it's useful and

1205
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 10: what we do we carefully monitor what's used and improve

1206
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 10: it based on the feedback. And we carefully motive what's

1207
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 10: not used and figure out why, and if it's not useful,

1208
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:48,600
Speaker 10: then don't add it and we improve. It's the best step.

1209
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:51,479
Speaker 1: People are always concerned about privacy when they're using AI.

1210
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:55,000
Speaker 1: Can you tell me how Samsung approaches privacy on these devices?

1211
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 10: Well, first of all, we actually highly so I think

1212
01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 10: people these device contains life or life and a lot

1213
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:06,520
Speaker 10: of very private stuff, so it's very serious matter. From

1214
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 10: the start, we have declared our direction to be an

1215
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 10: ibreed architecture, an I breed apportion. I will explain what

1216
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:17,760
Speaker 10: that is. IBRID means some stuff needs to run in

1217
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 10: the cloud. Like if you want to generate a new video,

1218
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 10: auguste it. It requires a lot of computing and you

1219
01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 10: create a new video. It runs on the cloud. But

1220
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:28,200
Speaker 10: a lot of stuff, actually, the majority of things are

1221
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 10: much closer to the customer, and it should be personalized,

1222
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:32,920
Speaker 10: and it should be privates. So in all the future

1223
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 10: I mentioned on communication, for example, you're having a communication

1224
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 10: with a personal partner in a different language, differun country.

1225
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 10: All the transtation happens in real time, stays on device, private,

1226
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 10: your pictures stays on device and private. We have very

1227
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 10: very clever things going on with ELF and the watch

1228
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:55,000
Speaker 10: stays on device and privates. And let's but not the least,

1229
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 10: we have a very clear dashboard where the customer can choose. Actually,

1230
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:02,640
Speaker 10: if customer doesn't want anything to go in the cloud,

1231
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:04,320
Speaker 10: you just have a message Suitech, you say off.

1232
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:07,000
Speaker 1: If someone's considering one of these phones, they see it

1233
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 1: on TV, they see it on social media, they're thinking

1234
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 1: they look pretty good this year.

1235
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 2: What do you think is the reason they should jump in?

1236
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 2: Give this one a try versus other models.

1237
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 10: Have fun and do more. You can do so much more.

1238
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 10: If you don't need two phones, you don't need a

1239
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 10: fun at a tablet. You don't need to have something heavy,

1240
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:25,120
Speaker 10: no more weight, no more complexity. You can do so

1241
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 10: much more. And this one is actually you can have

1242
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 10: a lot more fun. This is really cool device it's small,

1243
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 10: it's compact, it's beautiful, and you have everything in ease.

1244
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 10: So have fun and do much more.

1245
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 1: Have fun and do much more. So I've been using

1246
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:42,480
Speaker 1: the Fold seven, which I will tell you it's a

1247
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:45,640
Speaker 1: great phone. But in my newsletter today I talked about

1248
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 1: how the fact is I'm not really sure what the

1249
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:52,280
Speaker 1: use case scenario is. Like, it's fun to have, and

1250
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:54,160
Speaker 1: if you have a lot of money to spend, sure,

1251
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:56,000
Speaker 1: it's cool to be on the cutting edge, right. I

1252
01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 1: think that's what it really comes down to. Also, the

1253
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:01,920
Speaker 1: fact that you can consult your tablet and your phone

1254
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:04,920
Speaker 1: into one, and like he said, if you're working on

1255
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:07,480
Speaker 1: spreadsheets all the time, you want to be real productivity,

1256
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:11,200
Speaker 1: you know, real productive. That's another good use But it's

1257
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:14,959
Speaker 1: tough because it's such a departure from what you're used

1258
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:18,560
Speaker 1: to that it's tricky to sit there and say, Okay.

1259
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 2: This is what I need right now.

1260
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 1: When our phones pretty much do all the stuff we

1261
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 1: already want them to do, this is just a very

1262
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:29,600
Speaker 1: very different form factor. So again, you can read all

1263
01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:32,919
Speaker 1: my thoughts on the Samsung foldables on my website rich

1264
01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:36,439
Speaker 1: on tech dot tv. Just look for the headline that says,

1265
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 1: Samsung finally nails the foldable. That is my newsletter from

1266
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:42,800
Speaker 1: today and you can read there and see what I

1267
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 1: thought about all these different devices. All right, coming up,

1268
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you how Google Gemini can turn a

1269
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 1: photo into a video. And we're gonna taste test the Oreo.

1270
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:58,400
Speaker 1: Bobo has the Selena Gomez Oreo. We're gonna taste it.

1271
01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 1: Tell what we think, right or rich on Tech, Welcome

1272
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 1: back to rich On Tech. Let's go to Devin in

1273
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:11,080
Speaker 1: Long Beach.

1274
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:12,440
Speaker 2: You're on with rich.

1275
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 7: He Hey, what's going on? Rich You are my tech bet.

1276
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 7: I'm it's good to talk to you, brother. Quick question

1277
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:27,520
Speaker 7: here for work, they've had us download the WhatsApp and

1278
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:30,480
Speaker 7: so it's been a couple of weeks now and I'm

1279
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 7: going in my photos here and I'm starting to see

1280
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 7: all kind of photos and videos popping up that aren't mine.

1281
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 4: And that I didn't download or what have you. So

1282
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:47,000
Speaker 4: I'm assuming that they're coming through via the WhatsApp. My

1283
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:50,360
Speaker 4: question here is, well, number one, is that accurate? And

1284
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:56,080
Speaker 4: number two do my co workers are my videos popping

1285
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 4: up in their and their folders or their photo gallery

1286
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 4: in video galleries as well?

1287
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 2: Good question?

1288
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 1: So couple of settings to check on your WhatsApp. Okay,

1289
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:11,600
Speaker 1: because we definitely, especially since this is for work, you

1290
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 1: don't really want this to be, you know, propagating from

1291
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 1: your phone to WhatsApp or vice versa. So couple settings

1292
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:21,640
Speaker 1: that you can check out. First off, for the photos

1293
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:23,680
Speaker 1: that are saving from the chats, it sounds like you

1294
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 1: have photos from the chats automatically being saved into your

1295
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 1: camera roll.

1296
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:30,280
Speaker 2: So there's a way to do that.

1297
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 1: Go into your Settings and then chats, and then there's

1298
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:37,120
Speaker 1: an option under chats that says saved to photos.

1299
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:38,760
Speaker 2: You want to turn that off.

1300
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 1: Ends you a picture in a group chat, it's just

1301
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:44,360
Speaker 1: saving it to your camera roll or your photos on

1302
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 1: Android either way, and so you want to turn that off.

1303
01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:52,240
Speaker 1: So again, tap Settings and then tap chats and then

1304
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:54,960
Speaker 1: look under it says save to photos. Make sure that's

1305
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:57,440
Speaker 1: turned off. The other thing you want to do is

1306
01:06:57,520 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 1: go into your permissions. If you don't want your photos

1307
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 1: to go into WhatsApp. If you're just using this to text,

1308
01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:05,280
Speaker 1: you can change it so that WhatsApp does not have

1309
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:08,880
Speaker 1: access to any of your photos. So on the iPhone,

1310
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:11,080
Speaker 1: you can go to Settings, you can go to apps,

1311
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:15,760
Speaker 1: scroll all the way down until you find WhatsApp. Let's

1312
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 1: see where that is, okay, and then where it says

1313
01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:22,200
Speaker 1: photos right now, mine says full access. So I would

1314
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:25,640
Speaker 1: either tap limited access or none if you don't want

1315
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:29,640
Speaker 1: any of your photos from your camera and your camera

1316
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:32,360
Speaker 1: roll to ever go to WhatsApp. Now you have to

1317
01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:35,120
Speaker 1: remember the caveat here is that if you wanted to

1318
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 1: send a picture to the WhatsApp group, you wouldn't be

1319
01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:40,960
Speaker 1: able to do it if you had none selected. Now,

1320
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:44,040
Speaker 1: limited access works in a little different way. You basically

1321
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:47,440
Speaker 1: pre select just the picture that you want, and then

1322
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:49,680
Speaker 1: the iPhone sends that to the app, so it puts

1323
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:51,720
Speaker 1: like a little barrier between your iPhone and the app.

1324
01:07:52,080 --> 01:07:55,000
Speaker 1: There's also a way to do it on Android. I

1325
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:57,200
Speaker 1: don't let's see, I don't have WhatsApp installed in this

1326
01:07:57,280 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 1: phone that I have right now. But basically the main

1327
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:01,600
Speaker 1: thing on an is you can press and hold any

1328
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:05,760
Speaker 1: app and you can tap the I and then it

1329
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:09,120
Speaker 1: says the permissions. And so if you tap the permissions,

1330
01:08:09,160 --> 01:08:12,560
Speaker 1: you'll see what permissions the app has. And right now

1331
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:15,120
Speaker 1: this app I'm looking at has photos and videos. You

1332
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:18,879
Speaker 1: can take that tap it and it says allow all allow, limited,

1333
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:21,679
Speaker 1: don't allow, So you can do pretty much the same

1334
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:23,879
Speaker 1: thing on iPhone and Android when it comes to limiting

1335
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:27,760
Speaker 1: the app's access, we call these permissions, and it's a

1336
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 1: good idea to go through and kind of clean up

1337
01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:34,519
Speaker 1: permissions from time to time. I think on Android, the

1338
01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 1: Android operating system automatically deletes permissions from apps after a

1339
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:42,479
Speaker 1: certain amount of inactivity. So if you don't use an

1340
01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 1: app for let's say three or six months, it will

1341
01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:49,280
Speaker 1: automatically stop that app from having a lot of permissions

1342
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:53,400
Speaker 1: on your phone. Whether it's related to location, photos, microphone camera,

1343
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:57,000
Speaker 1: it will just reset all those and it will tell you.

1344
01:08:57,120 --> 01:08:59,479
Speaker 1: It'll say, hey, we reset permissions for this app because

1345
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:01,519
Speaker 1: you haven't used in a while. That makes a lot

1346
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:03,160
Speaker 1: of sense. It just puts a little bit of privacy

1347
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:06,519
Speaker 1: between you and that app. Great question, Devin, thanks for

1348
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 1: the call today, appreciate it. Speaking of photos, if you

1349
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:13,760
Speaker 1: have Gemini and you're a paying Gemini customer, you can

1350
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:19,080
Speaker 1: now transform your photo into an eight second video.

1351
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 2: This is pretty wild.

1352
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:24,559
Speaker 1: So if you go into Gemini Gemini dot Google dot com,

1353
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 1: you select videos from the tool menu, upload a photo,

1354
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:31,679
Speaker 1: still photo, and then you describe the scene plus any

1355
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:34,200
Speaker 1: audio you want in that scene. So, for instance, I

1356
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:37,040
Speaker 1: took a picture of a bee buzzing around a flower.

1357
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:40,320
Speaker 1: I uploaded it and I said, make this bee buzzing

1358
01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:44,320
Speaker 1: around this flower with sound. And it took a couple second,

1359
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:47,439
Speaker 1: took maybe a minute to process, two minutes whatever, and

1360
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:49,920
Speaker 1: then you get an eight second video with motion and

1361
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:52,599
Speaker 1: sound and it is wild.

1362
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:56,280
Speaker 2: Like I'm talking, I can't believe this is day one.

1363
01:09:57,120 --> 01:09:58,280
Speaker 2: It pretty much nailed it.

1364
01:09:58,360 --> 01:09:59,720
Speaker 1: I put it in the newsletter today, so if you

1365
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 1: want to check it out, Rich on tech dot TV,

1366
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 1: it is I showed my kids, my littlest kidd he goes, Dad,

1367
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:08,720
Speaker 1: I'm now scared, he goes, I will never be able

1368
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:10,639
Speaker 1: to tell what's real and what's not. I said, yeah,

1369
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:15,560
Speaker 1: that's true. So this is rolling out to subscribers, So

1370
01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:18,120
Speaker 1: if you pay for Google AI or if you're a

1371
01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:21,519
Speaker 1: Google one subscriber on their twenty dollars more plan, you

1372
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 1: can access this gemini dot Google dot com to check

01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:24,559
Speaker 1: it out.

1374
01:10:25,439 --> 01:10:30,160
Speaker 2: It's pretty wild, pretty pretty wild. Bobo. You've got a

1375
01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:32,800
Speaker 2: question today? Oh yes I do. Hey, Rich, how you doing?

1376
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:36,320
Speaker 2: This is Bobo calling you from Sherman Oaks. Longtime listener,

1377
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:39,439
Speaker 2: first time caller, long time, first time. My question is this,

1378
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 2: I have two Gmail accounts.

1379
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 12: I have my you know, junk mail the one a

1380
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:47,759
Speaker 12: half forever, and I have my more professional Gmail account.

1381
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:48,200
Speaker 2: Sure.

1382
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:52,320
Speaker 12: Now the issue is now my phone is saving both

1383
01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:55,840
Speaker 12: saving pictures to both accounts to where now I had

1384
01:10:55,880 --> 01:10:59,759
Speaker 12: to add the extra storage for both of my Gmail accounts.

1385
01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:02,639
Speaker 12: Is there a way I can stop it from doing

1386
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:05,799
Speaker 12: both and like cancel one of these because I don't.

1387
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:08,160
Speaker 2: Want to just donate money to the Google enterprise. No,

1388
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:10,040
Speaker 2: they don't need your money. They don't at all.

1389
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:13,000
Speaker 1: They want it three bucks, so it doesn't still three

1390
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:13,880
Speaker 1: bucks is three bucks?

1391
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:16,160
Speaker 2: Two goes in a chicken sound saying from Jack in

1392
01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:16,479
Speaker 2: a box.

1393
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:22,080
Speaker 1: So here's what's happening. I think what's happening. Are you

1394
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:24,720
Speaker 1: signed in on your phone with both of these accounts? Yes,

1395
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:26,840
Speaker 1: because I have to have access to both money. It's

1396
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:29,599
Speaker 1: just convenient because in Gmail you can switch between them whatever.

1397
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:31,360
Speaker 1: So I think what you have to do is go

1398
01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:34,640
Speaker 1: into Google Photos and you tap your little icon in

1399
01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:38,479
Speaker 1: the upper right hand corner, and you should see manage

1400
01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 1: your Google account.

1401
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:41,800
Speaker 2: There should be two accounts. Are there two accounts listed there?

1402
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:42,840
Speaker 8: Yes?

1403
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:44,400
Speaker 2: I'm looking at it, and I have just to let

1404
01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:45,640
Speaker 2: go back and forth with yes.

1405
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:47,639
Speaker 1: So what you want to do on the one account

1406
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 1: you don't want to upload pictures anymore. You want to

1407
01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 1: turn off the backup for that account. So once you're

1408
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:56,439
Speaker 1: into that account, you switch into that account, turn off backup,

1409
01:11:57,080 --> 01:11:59,720
Speaker 1: and that will stop those new photos from going in.

1410
01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:02,800
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. You still have the old photos, yeah,

1411
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 1: that are in there. So what you want to do

1412
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:06,200
Speaker 1: is from a desktop. This is the easiest way to

1413
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:09,519
Speaker 1: do it. Go to photos dot Google dot com. Make

1414
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:12,040
Speaker 1: sure you're on that other account, you know, the one

1415
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:13,519
Speaker 1: that you want to get rid of all the pictures,

1416
01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:16,400
Speaker 1: and then you can just go through and you can

1417
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:19,160
Speaker 1: select I think you can select like a thousand pictures

1418
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:22,600
Speaker 1: at once. So you can select one and then you

1419
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:26,599
Speaker 1: press shift and you just scroll down, press and select

1420
01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:29,040
Speaker 1: and you can delete all those pictures from the desktop

1421
01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:31,639
Speaker 1: and that way they will be gone from the cloud.

1422
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:33,000
Speaker 2: Okay, that's the best way of.

1423
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 12: Doing it because I have one, like I have one

1424
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 12: email address that I really wanted to use as my

1425
01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:39,960
Speaker 12: backup for everything because there's one that no one knows about.

1426
01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:42,560
Speaker 12: And then my professional one is the one that I

1427
01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:46,240
Speaker 12: want to keep, you know, clean, and nothing attached to it.

1428
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:49,240
Speaker 12: You've got mister Bobo for the professional Yeah, no, I

1429
01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 12: got Aaron is my professional one, like my government name.

1430
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:53,760
Speaker 12: And I was like, that's more professional and to have

1431
01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:57,360
Speaker 12: with somebody. Yeah, email me your scripted Bobo at gmail

Speaker 2: is actually pretty brown. Book my wife I had to

1442
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:24,639
Speaker 2: eat it and work.

1443
01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:36,080
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another hour of Rich on Tech. Rich

1444
01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:39,720
Speaker 1: DeMuro here hanging out with you talking technology triple eight

1445
01:13:39,920 --> 01:13:42,560
Speaker 1: Rich one O one eight eight eight seven four to

1446
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 1: two four one zero one. Another old reference from old

1447
01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 1: man to Muro. When I worked it office depot in

1448
01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:51,280
Speaker 1: high school.

1449
01:13:52,479 --> 01:13:55,439
Speaker 2: Uh, this was the song. This was like their theme song.

1450
01:13:57,200 --> 01:13:57,600
Speaker 5: This was it.

1451
01:13:58,200 --> 01:13:59,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had commercials and all that and that.

1452
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:02,559
Speaker 1: By the way, I took all of my jobs seriously,

1453
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:07,080
Speaker 1: like all the places I worked before my career. I

1454
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:11,600
Speaker 1: was very serious about office Depot was I think the

1455
01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:16,160
Speaker 1: epitome of the It was probably one of my favorite

1456
01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:18,080
Speaker 1: jobs I did. We opened up a new store in

1457
01:14:18,160 --> 01:14:22,120
Speaker 1: New Jersey, North Jersey, and it was enormous. This was

1458
01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:25,120
Speaker 1: back when they sold this is like before best Buy

1459
01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:28,040
Speaker 1: was huge for electronics. You would literally buy your electronics

1460
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:31,120
Speaker 1: at all these different stores everywhere before you went online

1461
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:33,599
Speaker 1: and stuff. And so we had a whole section called

1462
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:37,240
Speaker 1: like business Machines, and that's where people came to buy

1463
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:41,840
Speaker 1: computers and equipment and graphics cards and processors, and it

1464
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:44,760
Speaker 1: was just a huge portion of business in addition to

1465
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:48,240
Speaker 1: you know, buying notebooks and envelopes and things like that.

1466
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:51,640
Speaker 1: Like electronics were a huge part of their business. And

1467
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:53,559
Speaker 1: I loved it. I mean, oh man, I had such

1468
01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:55,920
Speaker 1: a good time there. I loved just playing with all

1469
01:14:56,040 --> 01:14:58,720
Speaker 1: talking all the nerds that would sell the electronics. I

1470
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:01,920
Speaker 1: sold cell phones for a Every time I sold a

1471
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:04,040
Speaker 1: cell phone, we would sell them for like ninety nine cents, right,

1472
01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:09,160
Speaker 1: and then without every single time, without fail, the person

1473
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:11,920
Speaker 1: would march back into the store a month later with

1474
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:14,240
Speaker 1: their first bill and they'd be like, I thought this

1475
01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 1: thing was ninety nine cents and their first bill was

1476
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:18,160
Speaker 1: like three hundred dollars. You know, for all it was

1477
01:15:18,240 --> 01:15:21,719
Speaker 1: like first month, last month, pro rated this fee, activation,

1478
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:23,439
Speaker 1: all this other stuff. It's like, yeah, the phone was

1479
01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:26,479
Speaker 1: ninety nine cents, but it's everything else that's really expensive.

1480
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:28,920
Speaker 1: How do you think these companies make money? So but

1481
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:30,439
Speaker 1: good news is I think we took a lot of

1482
01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:35,000
Speaker 1: those back. Let's go to Carl in upland. Carl, you're

1483
01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:37,120
Speaker 1: on with Rich How Rich?

1484
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:37,960
Speaker 6: How are you doing today?

1485
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:41,040
Speaker 2: I'm doing fantastic, good good.

1486
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:45,720
Speaker 11: I'm looking for a new laptop. What I have is

1487
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:49,400
Speaker 11: approximately twelve years old and it's held up that Now

1488
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:53,960
Speaker 11: it's time. A two weeks ago, you mentioned some laptops

1489
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:57,439
Speaker 11: that you liked that were available at Costco. You felt

1490
01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:00,960
Speaker 11: for the price, that was a good place to look

1491
01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:03,639
Speaker 11: for them. But I was trying to get out get

1492
01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:05,760
Speaker 11: from you. You know what I should look for when

1493
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:07,760
Speaker 11: I go down there. They just have folks that want

1494
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:11,599
Speaker 11: to sell whatever they want to sell. So I don't

1495
01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:15,240
Speaker 11: know what software looks for. I'm assuming that Windows eleven

1496
01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:19,400
Speaker 11: should come with most of them these days. The memory

1497
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:22,200
Speaker 11: and the CPU. I need a little bit of guidance

1498
01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:25,679
Speaker 11: on what to look for specifically in the Costco lines

1499
01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:26,160
Speaker 11: they offer.

1500
01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:30,920
Speaker 1: Okay, well, Costco is a great place because Costco, because

1501
01:16:30,960 --> 01:16:33,320
Speaker 1: it's membership base, they always give you a little bit

1502
01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:35,760
Speaker 1: more for the money. So whatever you find there is

1503
01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:38,960
Speaker 1: going to be a better price and better specs than

1504
01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:41,840
Speaker 1: pretty much anywhere else that you go, So you're on

1505
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:44,680
Speaker 1: the right path there. What I'd recommend if you're going

1506
01:16:44,720 --> 01:16:48,360
Speaker 1: the Windows route is, you know, Windows eleven should be

1507
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:50,720
Speaker 1: on all the laptops that are there, all the all

1508
01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:54,400
Speaker 1: the laptops should have that pre installed. The most basic

1509
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:58,040
Speaker 1: processor you want is either a Core I five or

1510
01:16:58,479 --> 01:17:01,519
Speaker 1: the a m D five. So basely five is the

1511
01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 1: number you're looking for. If you're just doing basic stuff,

1512
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:06,960
Speaker 1: the Intel five or the am D five should be

1513
01:17:07,160 --> 01:17:10,360
Speaker 1: just fine. If you want to do something that's a

1514
01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:12,640
Speaker 1: little bit more in depth than I would go with

1515
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:14,880
Speaker 1: either the Intel seven or the rise In seven.

1516
01:17:15,400 --> 01:17:17,200
Speaker 2: So seven is going to be a little bit higher end.

1517
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:18,720
Speaker 2: Nine is going to be much higher end.

1518
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:21,280
Speaker 1: So I would say, you know, if you've got a

1519
01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:23,240
Speaker 1: little extra money to spend, go with the seven because

1520
01:17:23,280 --> 01:17:23,719
Speaker 1: that will.

1521
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:25,519
Speaker 2: Future proof you for just a little bit longer.

1522
01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:29,719
Speaker 1: When it comes to RAM, definitely want at least sixteen

1523
01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:32,640
Speaker 1: gigabytes of RAM. That's going to get you what you

1524
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:36,240
Speaker 1: need for most applications, and then for the hard drive.

1525
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:40,080
Speaker 1: Usually these days there are solid state that you want

1526
01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:43,479
Speaker 1: at least five hundred and twelve gigabytes of storage. If

1527
01:17:43,520 --> 01:17:45,920
Speaker 1: you are doing a lot of photo or video stuff,

1528
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:48,679
Speaker 1: I would definitely get a terabyte. I've got two terabytes

1529
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:50,719
Speaker 1: on my latest computer that I purchased.

1530
01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:51,920
Speaker 2: I do not need that much.

1531
01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:55,080
Speaker 1: Even me who works with a lot of video, I

1532
01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:57,519
Speaker 1: do not need that much. A terabyte seems to be

1533
01:17:57,600 --> 01:17:58,280
Speaker 1: the sweet spot.

1534
01:17:59,000 --> 01:17:59,120
Speaker 5: Now.

1535
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:01,160
Speaker 1: The other main thinging you have to look for is

1536
01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:04,880
Speaker 1: do you want a dedicated graphics card or do you

1537
01:18:05,040 --> 01:18:07,639
Speaker 1: just want a graphics card that's built in. If it's

1538
01:18:07,680 --> 01:18:10,640
Speaker 1: built in, it'll just say like Intel graphics. But if

1539
01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:14,080
Speaker 1: it's a if it's an external graphics card, it will

1540
01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:17,400
Speaker 1: mention the specific graphics, whether it's in video or something else.

1541
01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:21,519
Speaker 1: So that is, if you are doing some high end

1542
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:26,760
Speaker 1: processing like audio, video processing, mostly video and photo, I

1543
01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:31,880
Speaker 1: would probably look for a dedicated GPU they call that. Otherwise,

1544
01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:34,920
Speaker 1: when it comes to screen size, definitely go for the

1545
01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 1: largest screen size you can find. Do not go thirteen inch.

1546
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:41,960
Speaker 1: It'll be way too small. Sixteen inch is probably the best.

1547
01:18:42,080 --> 01:18:45,519
Speaker 1: Fifteen sixteen inch is going to be much better. And

1548
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:47,160
Speaker 1: then the other things you want to look for is

1549
01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:50,439
Speaker 1: just you know, basic kind of you know, the keyboard.

1550
01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:53,480
Speaker 1: Try the keyboard. Make sure the keyboard feels nice and spacious.

1551
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:56,559
Speaker 1: I don't need the dedicated numbers keyboard if you're looking

1552
01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:58,200
Speaker 1: for that. You know, if you're doing like accounting and

1553
01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:02,200
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Brands, you know, look all the brands

1554
01:19:02,240 --> 01:19:04,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna find at Costco, We're going to be pretty good.

1555
01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:06,879
Speaker 1: I would say, if you don't need the gaming laptop,

1556
01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:09,559
Speaker 1: stay away from those, you'll know, because they have all

1557
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:12,000
Speaker 1: the flashing lights and stuff like that. But for your

1558
01:19:12,040 --> 01:19:17,000
Speaker 1: basic brands, anything ace Us is really nice. You know,

1559
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:21,160
Speaker 1: the Lenovo's are nice. I mean really anything you find

1560
01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:23,680
Speaker 1: there that has the specs I mentioned is going to

1561
01:19:23,720 --> 01:19:26,280
Speaker 1: be just fine. Sounds like your old computer lasted a

1562
01:19:26,400 --> 01:19:28,880
Speaker 1: very long time, which means you got your money's worth

1563
01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:31,320
Speaker 1: there this new one, you know, look to spend I

1564
01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:34,200
Speaker 1: would say maybe a thousand, maybe a little bit more,

1565
01:19:34,240 --> 01:19:35,799
Speaker 1: depending on how.

1566
01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:37,599
Speaker 2: How high end those specs you get are.

1567
01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:42,559
Speaker 1: And don't forget Costco also sells a lot of computers online.

1568
01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:44,600
Speaker 1: And the way if you want, if you want to

1569
01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:48,720

01:20:55,640 --> 01:20:59,679
Speaker 1: serve you well hp omnibook five. There you go, Carl,

1592
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:02,120
Speaker 1: all right, have at it, have fun, Thanks for the call.

1593
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:08,160
Speaker 1: Today FDA clears its first cuffless blood pressure monitor for

1594
01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:09,280
Speaker 1: over the counter use.

1595
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:10,479
Speaker 2: How cool is this?

1596
01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:13,880
Speaker 1: You can now track your blood pressure without an arm cuff. Well,

1597
01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:16,759
Speaker 1: it's coming soon, so already for sale over in Europe.

1598
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:18,920
Speaker 1: They've got one hundred and thirty thousand users over there.

1599
01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:23,280
Speaker 1: It's called the High Low Band HILO. It's going to

1600
01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:26,120
Speaker 1: launch in the US in twenty twenty six. It is

1601
01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:29,679
Speaker 1: the first cuffless blood pressure monitor cleared by the FDA

1602
01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:33,920
Speaker 1: for over the counter use. No prescription required. So what

1603
01:21:34,080 --> 01:21:36,040
Speaker 1: you do is you have to calibrate it once with

1604
01:21:36,160 --> 01:21:40,000
Speaker 1: a traditional cuff all that's included. After that, it's cuff free.

1605
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:42,880
Speaker 1: So once it gets that baseline measurement, it then uses

1606
01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:45,920
Speaker 1: an algorithm to figure out your blood pressure. So it's

1607
01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:49,960
Speaker 1: going to track blood pressure continuously and passively, just like

1608
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:51,720
Speaker 1: how smart watches track your heart rate.

1609
01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:52,720
Speaker 2: How cool is that.

1610
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:58,280
Speaker 1: I think this is a huge moment for anyone who

1611
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:03,400
Speaker 1: has hypertension and needs care because, according to this one

1612
01:22:03,439 --> 01:22:06,559
Speaker 1: point three billion people worldwide are affected by high blood pressure.

1613
01:22:07,479 --> 01:22:10,160
Speaker 1: So if you can have your blood pressure monitor twenty

1614
01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:13,479
Speaker 1: four to seven in a way that's reliable, that is

1615
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:18,880
Speaker 1: game changing because there are large there are a lot

1616
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:21,519
Speaker 1: of people out there who have to continuously monitor their

1617
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:23,520
Speaker 1: blood pressure several times throughout.

1618
01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:26,120
Speaker 2: The week or day, and this is a huge win

1619
01:22:26,280 --> 01:22:26,559
Speaker 2: for them.

1620
01:22:27,520 --> 01:22:30,880
Speaker 1: So the only the last remaining hurdle we have is

1621
01:22:31,040 --> 01:22:34,720
Speaker 1: blood glucose monitoring non evasive and I know a lot

1622
01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:37,680
Speaker 1: of companies are working on this. Once they figure that out,

1623
01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:40,960
Speaker 1: it is game over. We've got then, you've got blood pressure,

1624
01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:43,840
Speaker 1: you've got heart, You've got I mean, this is just

1625
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:49,599
Speaker 1: amazing the stuff that's happening because of these wearables. Once again,

1626
01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:54,439
Speaker 1: the company there the Helo brand, Hilo Band. The company

1627
01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:58,599
Speaker 1: is uh yeah, that's that's the name of it. Oh

1628
01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:05,880
Speaker 1: a company is Akida Acta Actia ak Tiia ak Tiia Actia.

1629
01:23:07,880 --> 01:23:09,920
Speaker 1: And if you're looking for a replacement for Pocket, I

1630
01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:14,519
Speaker 1: just downloaded a new app called Folio. Save Withfolio dot com.

1631
01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 1: Save Withfolio dot Com. So we know that Pocket is

1632
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:22,080
Speaker 1: a popular read it later app, it is officially shutting down,

1633
01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:27,160
Speaker 1: so Folio is a replacement app. It's available in iOS, Android,

1634
01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 1: and the web. You can save articles videos, threads from

01:23:33,479 --> 01:23:37,120
Speaker 1: anytime across devices. It's got a nice clean reading view,

1637
01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:40,680
Speaker 1: offline access browser extension, and you can even import your

1638
01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:43,240
Speaker 1: Pocket data, like if you kept a bunch of articles there,

1639
01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:46,000
Speaker 1: you can import it. There's also a premium version which

1641
01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:51,680
Speaker 1: which reads things to you, highlights, full texturet search, and

1642
01:23:51,760 --> 01:23:57,599
Speaker 1: customizable fonts. Folio is AD free, so the premium pricing

1643
01:23:57,680 --> 01:24:01,479
Speaker 1: will support development of the feature. They won't track you

1644
01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:07,920
Speaker 1: with ads, so again, Save with Save with Folio dot

1645

Speaker 1: com is the app. You can download it there for iOS,

1646
01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:13,920
Speaker 1: Android and it looks great. I mean it looks just

1647
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:17,200
Speaker 1: like Pocket. The other alternative is called insta Paper. That's

1648
01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:19,439
Speaker 1: what I've been using as well, but this one looks

1649
01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:19,880
Speaker 1: pretty good.

1650
01:24:20,040 --> 01:24:22,720
Speaker 2: Folio. I'll put a link on the website rich on

1651

01:24:25,160 --> 01:24:27,479
Speaker 1: Coming up, I'll tell you about the Amazon the seller

1653
01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:30,559
Speaker 1: who got hundreds of unwanted Amazon packages at their house.

1654
01:24:34,280 --> 01:24:36,840
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging

1655
01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:40,639
Speaker 1: out with you talking technology the website for the show

1656
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:44,720
Speaker 1: rich on Tech dot tv. This is episode one nine.

1657
01:24:44,720 --> 01:24:48,240
Speaker 1: I've got everything listed that we talked about here. Everything

1658
01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:51,360
Speaker 1: from the websites I mentioned on how to remove backgrounds

1659
01:24:51,400 --> 01:24:53,720
Speaker 1: from your pictures, the restaurants I went to New York,

1660
01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:58,719
Speaker 1: the Selena Gomez Oreos, which Bobo has now ordered himself,

1661
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:02,080
Speaker 1: and everything else I mentioned is all on the website.

1662
01:25:02,200 --> 01:25:05,040
Speaker 1: Rich on tech dot tv. I take very good notes

1663
01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:08,360
Speaker 1: during this show, and so if you ever need something

1664
01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:11,920
Speaker 1: I mentioned, you could just go there and find it. Weimo,

1665
01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:16,879
Speaker 1: which is made by Belkan, they are dropping their support

1666
01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:20,240
Speaker 1: for several of their devices, a lot of their stuff

1667
01:25:20,280 --> 01:25:24,000
Speaker 1: actually they're smart plugs and light switches, so this is

1668
01:25:24,320 --> 01:25:29,040
Speaker 1: a Belcan Wemo support update. They sent out Belcan's going

1669
01:25:29,120 --> 01:25:32,640
Speaker 1: to shut down cloud support for older Weimo products on

1670
01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:36,519
Speaker 1: January thirty first, twenty twenty six. After that, any devices

1671
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:39,320
Speaker 1: relying on the Wemo app, Alexa or Google Assistant will

1672
01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:43,000
Speaker 1: stop working. Only Wemo products set up with the Apple

1673
01:25:43,120 --> 01:25:45,840
Speaker 1: home Kit will still continue to work using home Kit

1674
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:48,880
Speaker 1: local Control, So basically they're just shutting off the cloud

1675
01:25:48,960 --> 01:25:53,080
Speaker 1: with this stuff. Thread based Wemo products like the Stage

1676
01:25:53,120 --> 01:25:56,680
Speaker 1: controller and smart plug with thread are not affected, and

1677
01:25:57,600 --> 01:25:59,840
Speaker 1: if you have one of these you might qualify for

1678
01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:03,000
Speaker 1: partial refund, but only if your device is still under warranty,

1679
01:26:03,640 --> 01:26:06,360
Speaker 1: which you probably I mean probably not going to collect

1680
01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:11,360
Speaker 1: very much there. Refunds are available starting January thirty first,

1681
01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:13,560
Speaker 1: not before, so you'll have to save your receipts and

1682
01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:17,080
Speaker 1: check Belkin's website. Belcan says this move lets them refocus

1683
01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:20,519
Speaker 1: on other areas of their business. For now, your Wemo

1684
01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:24,600
Speaker 1: devices will continue to work normally, but the countdown is

1685
01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:27,840
Speaker 1: on until January thirty first, twenty twenty six.

1686
01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:30,759
Speaker 2: And I got to tell you about this story.

1687
01:26:31,439 --> 01:26:34,479
Speaker 1: ABC seven News in San Francisco did a profile of

1688
01:26:34,560 --> 01:26:39,160
Speaker 1: a woman in San who's Jose, who got hundreds of

1689
01:26:39,360 --> 01:26:41,679
Speaker 1: Amazon packages delivered to her house.

1690
01:26:42,040 --> 01:26:44,160
Speaker 2: She didn't order any of them. What were they?

1691
01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:50,000
Speaker 1: They were returns. They were fake leather car seat covers

1692
01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:55,160
Speaker 1: tied to a third party seller, and the seller listed

1693
01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:59,360
Speaker 1: her address as the return location for customers trying to

1694
01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:02,840
Speaker 1: send their perch says back. They started arriving a year ago,

1695
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:06,720
Speaker 1: they never stopped. They blocked her driveway, her access to

1696
01:27:06,760 --> 01:27:09,200
Speaker 1: her mailbox, and even her eighty eight year old mother

1697
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:13,519
Speaker 1: couldn't walk down the entryway. She called Amazon a bunch

1698
01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:15,679
Speaker 1: of times, filed a bunch of complaints. They only offered

1699
01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:17,280
Speaker 1: her one hundred dollars gift card and told her to

1700
01:27:17,400 --> 01:27:21,880
Speaker 1: donate or return the packages herself. According to Amazon policy,

1701
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:25,639
Speaker 1: international sellers must either give a US return address, issue

1702
01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:30,080
Speaker 1: a returnless refund, or send a prepaid shipping label. But

1703
01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:33,360
Speaker 1: instead customers paid over one hundred dollars to ship these

1704
01:27:33,400 --> 01:27:36,400
Speaker 1: items back to this woman's driveway. This is just a

1705
01:27:36,600 --> 01:27:41,200
Speaker 1: wild story. The brand has no contact info on their website,

1706
01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:42,880
Speaker 1: the reviews or one star.

1707
01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:44,400
Speaker 2: So what did this woman do?

1708
01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:47,479
Speaker 1: After she got so frustrated, she called the local news

1709
01:27:48,160 --> 01:27:52,120
Speaker 1: and they got involved, you know, like these these troubleshooter

1710
01:27:52,400 --> 01:27:54,439
Speaker 1: kind of things, you know, like where are the We'll

1711
01:27:54,479 --> 01:27:59,880
Speaker 1: get you help. So once they called Amazon, guess what happened.

1712
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:03,400
Speaker 1: Oh the problem goes away. Amazon stepped in, removed the

1713
01:28:03,479 --> 01:28:05,880
Speaker 1: boxes and said they're cracking down on the third party

1714
01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:09,960
Speaker 1: sellers violating their policies. The woman called it quote another

1715
01:28:10,040 --> 01:28:13,839
Speaker 1: form of hell, and says she's grateful someone finally listened.

1716
01:28:14,280 --> 01:28:16,600
Speaker 1: Seven on your side isn't what they do like in

1717
01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:18,719
Speaker 1: the local news. I mean, I work in the local news,

1718
01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:22,599
Speaker 1: but I don't do that. But it's a funny thing

1719
01:28:22,640 --> 01:28:24,760
Speaker 1: about this. It's like I've seen this over and over.

1720
01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:28,320
Speaker 1: It's like these big companies don't care until you get

1721
01:28:28,360 --> 01:28:31,120
Speaker 1: the local news, because the local news will email the

1722
01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:33,320
Speaker 1: PR person. The PR person doesn't want to do a

1723
01:28:33,400 --> 01:28:35,439
Speaker 1: bad story, so they say, yes, we'll figure this out

1724
01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:38,879
Speaker 1: and we'll get it fixed for that one person. Sometimes

1725
01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:41,360
Speaker 1: it helps other people too, but it's like, you know,

1726
01:28:41,439 --> 01:28:44,599
Speaker 1: the company doesn't care about what you do. It's only

1727
01:28:44,640 --> 01:28:47,920
Speaker 1: when the local news steps in then they care because

1728
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:49,640
Speaker 1: you know there's gonna be a lot of publicity there.

1729
01:28:51,080 --> 01:28:53,840
Speaker 1: By the way, I had an AI breakthrough today. This

1730
01:28:54,040 --> 01:28:57,360
Speaker 1: is incredible because I've been using the Samsung phone. Of course,

1731
01:28:57,400 --> 01:29:00,720
Speaker 1: I'm playing with Gemini more. I figured out how to

1732
01:29:00,800 --> 01:29:04,800
Speaker 1: make an everything notebook using Google Keep. So if you

1733
01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:07,240
Speaker 1: start putting a whole bunch of notes into Google Keep,

1734
01:29:07,640 --> 01:29:10,000
Speaker 1: you can ask Gemini about those notes.

1735
01:29:10,520 --> 01:29:12,960
Speaker 2: So watch what I did. I put in the restaurants

1736
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:14,479
Speaker 2: we went to in New York City, and watch what

1737
01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:18,439
Speaker 2: I can do. Now watch check my notes for the

1738
01:29:18,640 --> 01:29:20,840
Speaker 2: restaurants I went to in New York City. What were they?

1739
01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:24,479
Speaker 2: And let's see what Gemini comes up with. Okay, it's

1740
01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:25,320
Speaker 2: looking at Google Keep.

1741
01:29:25,439 --> 01:29:25,720
Speaker 7: We went to.

1742
01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:29,080
Speaker 2: Osteria Baroka and Tony's DiNapoli in New York City.

1743
01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:33,160
Speaker 1: Look at that so it looked through my notes and

1744
01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:36,080
Speaker 1: it summarized the two restaurants that I went to.

1745
01:29:36,360 --> 01:29:37,240
Speaker 2: How cool is that.

1746
01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:40,759
Speaker 1: So I've been using another thing for this called voice

1747
01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:43,880
Speaker 1: notes dot com, sort of like an everything notebook, and

1748
01:29:43,920 --> 01:29:46,280
Speaker 1: then you can ask it's AI. But the problem is

1749
01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:50,200
Speaker 1: that's not integrated with Gemini. So with Gemini and Google Keep,

1750
01:29:50,280 --> 01:29:52,839
Speaker 1: you can now just dump a whole bunch of information

1751
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:56,760
Speaker 1: into Google Keep and then ask Gemini at any time

1752
01:29:57,320 --> 01:29:58,880
Speaker 1: to look at your notes and tell you.

1753
01:29:59,640 --> 01:30:01,880
Speaker 2: So, what could this be good for? Oh my gosh.

1754
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:04,720
Speaker 1: So for me, when my kids say something silly, I

1755
01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:08,040
Speaker 1: will record it into my notes and I can say, like,

1756
01:30:08,120 --> 01:30:11,160
Speaker 1: tell me something silly that my kids said. Any notes

1757
01:30:11,200 --> 01:30:13,240
Speaker 1: I have, or any thoughts I have while I'm traveling,

1758
01:30:13,280 --> 01:30:16,920
Speaker 1: I'll put in there. Anything that I read that's interesting.

1759
01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:19,479
Speaker 1: I'll put in their quotes and stuff like that. You say, hey,

1760
01:30:19,720 --> 01:30:22,880
Speaker 1: give me an inspirational quote for my notes. When I

1761
01:30:22,960 --> 01:30:25,880
Speaker 1: learn about people, I'll put notes about them in my notes.

1762
01:30:26,439 --> 01:30:28,720
Speaker 1: So if they tell me their kids' names, or you know,

1763
01:30:28,760 --> 01:30:30,439
Speaker 1: where they're going to college, so I don't forget that

1764
01:30:30,640 --> 01:30:33,639
Speaker 1: those details about our relationship, I'll put that in there.

1765
01:30:35,320 --> 01:30:39,000
Speaker 1: Anything I mean, the possibilities are endless. I am so excited.

1766
01:30:39,040 --> 01:30:41,160
Speaker 1: I think I've just ruined the rest of my weekend

1767
01:30:41,479 --> 01:30:43,720
Speaker 1: because now I'm gonna sit here and program my Google Keep,

1768
01:30:43,760 --> 01:30:46,360
Speaker 1: which I typically don't use, but now that it works

1769
01:30:46,400 --> 01:30:49,439
Speaker 1: so nicely with Gemini, this is incredible. And then by

1770
01:30:49,479 --> 01:30:51,719
Speaker 1: the way, you can say to Gemini, take a note

1771
01:30:52,280 --> 01:30:54,000
Speaker 1: and then say whatever you want and it will put

1772
01:30:54,040 --> 01:30:55,120
Speaker 1: that into your Google Keep.

1773
01:30:55,560 --> 01:30:56,439
Speaker 2: This is big.

1774
01:30:56,960 --> 01:30:59,320
Speaker 1: And by the way, Gemini works on iPhone or androids,

1775
01:30:59,360 --> 01:31:01,960
Speaker 1: so this will work same on both. Coming up, we're

1776
01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:05,040
Speaker 1: gonna talk about Google and their domination of the ad

1777
01:31:05,160 --> 01:31:06,000
Speaker 1: business right here.

1778
01:31:05,920 --> 01:31:06,639
Speaker 2: On rich on Tech.

1779
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:14,479
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging

1780
01:31:14,479 --> 01:31:19,840
Speaker 1: out with you, talking technology website rich on Tech dot TV.

1781
01:31:20,640 --> 01:31:21,519
Speaker 2: Joining me now is.

1782
01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:26,040
Speaker 1: Ari Paparo, former Google executive and author of an upcoming

1783
01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:30,120
Speaker 1: book called Yield How Google Bought, built, and bullied its

1784
01:31:30,160 --> 01:31:32,720
Speaker 1: way to advertising dominance.

1785
01:31:33,840 --> 01:31:36,880
Speaker 2: Ari, welcome to the show. Yeah, thanks for having me Rich.

1786
01:31:37,120 --> 01:31:39,920
Speaker 2: I'm assuming this book is not so flattering to Google.

1787
01:31:40,800 --> 01:31:43,160
Speaker 13: You know, it's not a damning book of Google, but

1788
01:31:43,240 --> 01:31:45,080
Speaker 13: they did some things wrong. I mean, they were just

1789
01:31:45,200 --> 01:31:48,320
Speaker 13: held to be a monopoly by a federal judge. So

1790
01:31:48,400 --> 01:31:50,560
Speaker 13: I'm telling the story of how they got there. I

1791
01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:52,360
Speaker 13: would say more arrogance than evil.

1792
01:31:52,920 --> 01:31:53,080
Speaker 8: More.

1793
01:31:53,400 --> 01:31:55,160
Speaker 13: That's why I use the word bullying, because I think

1794
01:31:55,200 --> 01:31:58,760
Speaker 13: that's a pretty good take on what they did, and

1795
01:31:59,320 --> 01:32:02,000
Speaker 13: hopefully they'll read it and maybe get some insights as

1796
01:32:02,040 --> 01:32:02,599
Speaker 13: to what happened.

1797
01:32:02,800 --> 01:32:05,720
Speaker 2: So, what did you do at Google and what they

1798
01:32:05,760 --> 01:32:06,920
Speaker 2: do to you that was so bad?

1799
01:32:07,600 --> 01:32:09,800
Speaker 13: I don't have any ill will to Google whatsoever, and

1800
01:32:09,840 --> 01:32:12,400
Speaker 13: I've partnered with them in other jobs, but it wasn't

1801
01:32:12,439 --> 01:32:12,640
Speaker 13: for me.

1802
01:32:12,760 --> 01:32:16,360
Speaker 1: Let's just say that, okay, So let's talk about the

1803
01:32:16,479 --> 01:32:19,240
Speaker 1: ad world. I mean, it's very much dominated by Google,

1804
01:32:19,439 --> 01:32:19,880
Speaker 1: for sure.

1805
01:32:21,360 --> 01:32:22,320
Speaker 2: Why do we care?

1806
01:32:23,320 --> 01:32:26,599
Speaker 13: Yeah, well, you know when a web page loads, people

1807
01:32:26,680 --> 01:32:28,920
Speaker 13: make money or they try to make money, and it

1808
01:32:28,960 --> 01:32:32,960
Speaker 13: supports most of modern web based journalism. I mean, obviously

1809
01:32:33,040 --> 01:32:35,240
Speaker 13: you have subscriptions if people can afford them, and you

1810
01:32:35,400 --> 01:32:38,280
Speaker 13: have you have other ways of making money of emails,

1811
01:32:38,320 --> 01:32:40,559
Speaker 13: et cetera. But a lot of it is just based

1812
01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:43,519
Speaker 13: on those boxes of ads, the banner ads, the square

1813
01:32:43,600 --> 01:32:45,960
Speaker 13: ads on the web pages, and that's what pays for

1814
01:32:46,240 --> 01:32:47,280
Speaker 13: journalism and content.

1815
01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:51,400
Speaker 1: And how did Google bully its way? I mean, I

1816
01:32:51,479 --> 01:32:54,599
Speaker 1: know it and purchased companies over the years but they

1817
01:32:54,680 --> 01:32:56,960
Speaker 1: do command. Like if you set up a website and

1818
01:32:57,080 --> 01:32:58,680
Speaker 1: I have in the past, you know they got this thing.

1819
01:32:58,720 --> 01:33:01,800
Speaker 1: I think it's called what ads, AdWords one of those. Yeah,

1820
01:33:01,880 --> 01:33:04,560
Speaker 1: they have both, okay, but you know that's like the

1821
01:33:04,760 --> 01:33:07,280
Speaker 1: way to make money on your site.

1822
01:33:07,160 --> 01:33:08,480
Speaker 2: Right absolutely.

1823
01:33:08,840 --> 01:33:11,760
Speaker 13: So that's why it's an interesting story because everyone knows

1824
01:33:11,800 --> 01:33:14,479
Speaker 13: Google for search, but you don't think so much about

1825
01:33:14,520 --> 01:33:17,439
Speaker 13: banner ads. And they went from absolutely nothing where they

1826
01:33:17,479 --> 01:33:19,360
Speaker 13: had ad Sense, but it was all text. We're talking

1827
01:33:19,400 --> 01:33:21,599
Speaker 13: about the early two thousands. They just showed text ads

1828
01:33:21,600 --> 01:33:24,719
Speaker 13: on your site. They went from nothing to total dominance,

1829
01:33:24,800 --> 01:33:27,360
Speaker 13: ninety percent market share in some segments. And they did

1830
01:33:27,439 --> 01:33:31,240
Speaker 13: it by running the software the actual not the ads,

1831
01:33:31,280 --> 01:33:34,120
Speaker 13: but the software that serves the ads. And that's how

1832
01:33:34,160 --> 01:33:37,519
Speaker 13: I got involved. Also, Google acquired a company called double

1833
01:33:37,560 --> 01:33:39,880
Speaker 13: Click back in two thousand and eight, and it was

1834
01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:42,640
Speaker 13: the software that almost every website you could think of,

1835
01:33:42,920 --> 01:33:46,040
Speaker 13: like CNN and New York Times and yach not Yahoo,

1836
01:33:46,080 --> 01:33:48,800
Speaker 13: but many others would use to show the ads. So

1837
01:33:48,840 --> 01:33:51,720
Speaker 13: they controlled the software. And then they said, well, if

1838
01:33:51,760 --> 01:33:54,479
Speaker 13: we ConTroll the software and people are sort of bidding

1839
01:33:54,680 --> 01:33:57,559
Speaker 13: to buy these ads, we know what prices they're bidding. Well,

1840
01:33:57,600 --> 01:33:59,920
Speaker 13: we could bid blood and sent higher and win more often,

1841
01:34:00,360 --> 01:34:03,240
Speaker 13: or we can change the amount of revenue that people

1842
01:34:03,320 --> 01:34:07,200
Speaker 13: make when they sell the ads into our advantage. So

1843
01:34:07,320 --> 01:34:10,479
Speaker 13: they ended up being like basically both the stock market

1844
01:34:10,920 --> 01:34:12,880
Speaker 13: and the biggest bank in this market.

1845
01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:17,439
Speaker 1: Now, Google has a lot of data about consumers. And

1846
01:34:17,520 --> 01:34:19,599
Speaker 1: this is kind of how this all comes together because

1847
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:23,160
Speaker 1: we search on the web, We look for things, and

1848
01:34:23,280 --> 01:34:25,680
Speaker 1: then Google builds a profile of us, and then they

1849
01:34:25,800 --> 01:34:29,280
Speaker 1: use that to kind of make these ads appeal to us,

1850
01:34:29,439 --> 01:34:31,439
Speaker 1: right Like, they kind of they match up the ads

1851
01:34:31,479 --> 01:34:31,720
Speaker 1: with what.

1852
01:34:31,800 --> 01:34:34,840
Speaker 2: We are looking for. So should we be worried about

1853
01:34:34,880 --> 01:34:36,120
Speaker 2: that process at this point?

1854
01:34:37,160 --> 01:34:37,519
Speaker 4: You're right.

1855
01:34:37,680 --> 01:34:40,280
Speaker 13: The Google has the Chrome browser, they have Gmail, they

1856
01:34:40,320 --> 01:34:42,640
Speaker 13: have maps, They know a lot about you that they

1857
01:34:42,720 --> 01:34:46,320
Speaker 13: have your search history, and you know, it is a

1858
01:34:46,360 --> 01:34:49,120
Speaker 13: little concerning, especially if you're searching for sort of sensitive

1859
01:34:49,160 --> 01:34:52,000
Speaker 13: topics around health or whatever. I would say Google's a

1860
01:34:52,000 --> 01:34:53,960
Speaker 13: pretty good actor in this regard. I don't think there's

1861
01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:57,960
Speaker 13: ever been a allegation that they use data in a

1862
01:34:58,040 --> 01:35:00,560
Speaker 13: really bad way or sold your data. But it is

1863
01:35:00,680 --> 01:35:04,879
Speaker 13: concerning overall that companies like Meta and Google and TikTok

1864
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:08,320
Speaker 13: knows so much about its consumers and in some cases,

1865
01:35:08,360 --> 01:35:11,240
Speaker 13: maybe collecting data from you when you're not aware. You know,

1866
01:35:11,360 --> 01:35:14,320
Speaker 13: you're on a website about news. You don't know that

1867
01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:17,840
Speaker 13: Google is actually learning about what you're interested in. It's

1868
01:35:17,960 --> 01:35:20,760
Speaker 13: important that consumers kind of take control of that at

1869
01:35:20,840 --> 01:35:23,719
Speaker 13: some to some degree. But I wouldn't be overly panicked

1870
01:35:23,720 --> 01:35:24,000
Speaker 13: about it.

1871
01:35:24,439 --> 01:35:26,320
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that's that's another side of it. When

1872
01:35:26,360 --> 01:35:29,920
Speaker 1: you visit a website, they are typically sending data back

1873
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:33,160
Speaker 1: to Google that says, hey, this person went here. It

1874
01:35:33,280 --> 01:35:35,519
Speaker 1: may not be your name per se, but it's linked

1875
01:35:35,520 --> 01:35:38,439
Speaker 1: to you somehow, I guess, but it tells you know,

1876
01:35:38,600 --> 01:35:43,080
Speaker 1: it sends back data all to feed that beast of like, hey,

1877
01:35:43,600 --> 01:35:45,519
Speaker 1: we can target this person because they look at news

1878
01:35:45,560 --> 01:35:46,760
Speaker 1: about sneakers all the time.

1879
01:35:47,439 --> 01:35:51,200
Speaker 13: It's true because there are these things called pixels. Many

1880
01:35:51,400 --> 01:35:54,400
Speaker 13: of your listeners should know that on almost every website

1881
01:35:54,400 --> 01:35:57,200
Speaker 13: out there. It's not just Google, though Google has Google Analytics,

1882
01:35:57,439 --> 01:36:00,639
Speaker 13: but the meta, the Facebook pixel, or the thumbs button, whatever,

1883
01:36:00,920 --> 01:36:04,640
Speaker 13: the like button, you know, those are data collection mechanisms.

1884
01:36:04,880 --> 01:36:06,759
Speaker 13: There was just a little bit of a mini scandal

1885
01:36:06,800 --> 01:36:10,000
Speaker 13: where it was found out that on Android phones, Facebook

1886
01:36:10,240 --> 01:36:13,519
Speaker 13: could recognize its consumers up to their user profile on

1887
01:36:13,640 --> 01:36:17,080
Speaker 13: Instagram on every basically every single pixel fire in the browser,

1888
01:36:17,640 --> 01:36:19,280
Speaker 13: which is something they shouldn't be able to do, but

1889
01:36:19,360 --> 01:36:22,840
Speaker 13: they were able to manipulate around that. So, yeah, as

1890
01:36:22,880 --> 01:36:24,639
Speaker 13: you're surfing the web, a lot of folks are collecting

1891
01:36:24,680 --> 01:36:27,719
Speaker 13: information about you and there's no way to fully protect yourself.

1892
01:36:27,800 --> 01:36:30,560
Speaker 13: But also it's not the most sensitive data. It's not

1893
01:36:30,760 --> 01:36:33,559
Speaker 13: something that hopefully you could be you know, lose your

1894
01:36:33,640 --> 01:36:36,920
Speaker 13: marriage or your house about you know that I'm interested

1895
01:36:36,960 --> 01:36:38,080
Speaker 13: in sneakers or whatnot.

1896
01:36:39,120 --> 01:36:41,639
Speaker 1: Now we've heard a lot about Google, and you tossed

1897
01:36:41,680 --> 01:36:45,080
Speaker 1: out the word monopoly. There's been two prominent cases involving

1898
01:36:45,160 --> 01:36:48,120
Speaker 1: Google lately. One was their ad business and then the

1899
01:36:48,160 --> 01:36:51,479
Speaker 1: other was Chrome. So what do we know about this?

1900
01:36:51,680 --> 01:36:54,920
Speaker 2: Like, is Google going to be forced to change its ways? Yeah,

1901
01:36:55,200 --> 01:36:55,840
Speaker 2: you summarize it.

1902
01:36:55,920 --> 01:36:57,880
Speaker 13: Well, the two big cases in the federal there's also

1903
01:36:57,920 --> 01:37:01,479
Speaker 13: a state case asking for huge damages. So in the

1904
01:37:01,680 --> 01:37:04,519
Speaker 13: search case where they were declared to monopoly, they've already

1905
01:37:04,600 --> 01:37:06,600
Speaker 13: had hearings about what they should do about it, and

1906
01:37:06,680 --> 01:37:08,880
Speaker 13: the government is trying to force a spin out of

1907
01:37:08,960 --> 01:37:12,160
Speaker 13: the Chrome browser. The Chrome browser has I think something

1908
01:37:12,240 --> 01:37:14,840
Speaker 13: like sixty percent market share in the US, so that

1909
01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:17,439
Speaker 13: being spun out and Google not being a sort of

1910
01:37:17,520 --> 01:37:20,720
Speaker 13: beneficial owner that invests a ton of resources into it

1911
01:37:21,040 --> 01:37:23,080
Speaker 13: is a big question mark for the future of the web.

1912
01:37:23,479 --> 01:37:25,760
Speaker 13: Will there be many browsers, will some be owned by

1913
01:37:25,800 --> 01:37:29,559
Speaker 13: commercial institutions like Amazon Browser, and you'll get money off

1914
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:31,120
Speaker 13: who knows where it'll end up.

1915
01:37:31,160 --> 01:37:32,000
Speaker 2: It's a big change.

1916
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:35,280
Speaker 13: If they're forced to spin out Chrome on the AD side,

1917
01:37:35,280 --> 01:37:37,800
Speaker 13: which is what I wrote my book about, They're also

1918
01:37:37,880 --> 01:37:40,400
Speaker 13: being asked to spin out their core AD server that

1919
01:37:40,479 --> 01:37:43,200
Speaker 13: I mentioned earlier, but also their exchange and a bunch

1920
01:37:43,240 --> 01:37:46,880
Speaker 13: of other tools that publishers used to make money and

1921
01:37:47,000 --> 01:37:50,320
Speaker 13: where they have monopoly or near monopoly market share, and

1922
01:37:50,439 --> 01:37:53,080
Speaker 13: that could throw a wrench into the ways that the

1923
01:37:53,160 --> 01:37:57,360
Speaker 13: revenue streams of media companies and publishers and streaming broadcasters

1924
01:37:57,400 --> 01:37:59,200
Speaker 13: and a lot of other folks. It's a very disruptive

1925
01:37:59,240 --> 01:38:02,280
Speaker 13: change given how Google is, but a lot of observers

1926
01:38:02,360 --> 01:38:05,080
Speaker 13: really think it's due to happen both of those remedies.

1927
01:38:05,600 --> 01:38:09,160
Speaker 13: Who's the book for ari I wrote the book as

1928
01:38:09,280 --> 01:38:11,519
Speaker 13: narrative journalism, meaning I talk to people and I told

1929
01:38:11,560 --> 01:38:13,600
Speaker 13: their stories. It's not a technical book, it's more of

1930
01:38:13,640 --> 01:38:16,360
Speaker 13: a business book. I hope people really enjoy it. People

1931
01:38:16,360 --> 01:38:21,000
Speaker 13: are interested in advertising, in business, in drama around this

1932
01:38:21,120 --> 01:38:25,240
Speaker 13: sort of monopoly big tech. I hope it's pretty readable,

1933
01:38:25,280 --> 01:38:27,040
Speaker 13: but I'll only know when the reviews start coming in.

1934
01:38:27,560 --> 01:38:28,920
Speaker 2: It's available on August fifth.

1935
01:38:29,040 --> 01:38:31,960
Speaker 1: My question for you is is all of this a

1936
01:38:32,360 --> 01:38:35,640
Speaker 1: point because the web, the structure of the web is

1937
01:38:35,800 --> 01:38:38,640
Speaker 1: changing because of AI. I mean, Google, I feel like

1938
01:38:38,800 --> 01:38:41,640
Speaker 1: is in a very precarious position. They have Gemini, but

1939
01:38:41,840 --> 01:38:45,120
Speaker 1: we've got open AI, Chat, GBT, Perplexity, all these other

1940
01:38:45,240 --> 01:38:49,439
Speaker 1: services are now summarizing the web and not necessarily delivering

1941
01:38:49,520 --> 01:38:51,360
Speaker 1: ads in the way that Google has made its bread

1942
01:38:51,400 --> 01:38:51,840
Speaker 1: and butter on.

1943
01:38:52,479 --> 01:38:55,200
Speaker 13: Yeah, it all starts with the consumers, and the consumers

1944
01:38:55,280 --> 01:39:01,120
Speaker 13: are are being referred from search results less. Basically, referral

1945
01:39:01,160 --> 01:39:04,000
Speaker 13: traffic is down, and referral traffic is the lifeblood of

1946
01:39:04,040 --> 01:39:08,920
Speaker 13: many and supported businesses. So it's an interesting problem. Will

1947
01:39:09,120 --> 01:39:12,000
Speaker 13: publishers be able to recapture their audience to go with

1948
01:39:12,200 --> 01:39:16,439
Speaker 13: channels they can control better, like podcasts, like like email,

1949
01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:20,360
Speaker 13: like some parts of social or will they just lose

1950
01:39:20,400 --> 01:39:22,639
Speaker 13: that traffic and they'll never come back and traffic turns

1951
01:39:22,680 --> 01:39:25,640
Speaker 13: into advertising. So we don't know.

1952
01:39:25,800 --> 01:39:30,000
Speaker 2: Also, the Chrome browser, you know, we probably have heard that.

1953
01:39:30,280 --> 01:39:31,120
Speaker 2: Just in the last week.

1954
01:39:31,280 --> 01:39:33,360
Speaker 13: I think open Ai said they're making a browser, and

1955
01:39:33,800 --> 01:39:36,040
Speaker 13: Perplexity said they're making a browser. And there's also this

1956
01:39:36,160 --> 01:39:38,559
Speaker 13: browser called da that's getting a lot of traction because

1957
01:39:38,560 --> 01:39:39,360
Speaker 13: that's built in AI.

1958
01:39:40,200 --> 01:39:41,800
Speaker 2: So maybe the Chrome browser.

1959
01:39:41,680 --> 01:39:45,320
Speaker 13: Case is also you know yesterday's news, it's a really

1960
01:39:45,400 --> 01:39:46,360
Speaker 13: interesting time in tech.

1961
01:39:46,760 --> 01:39:46,960
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1962
01:39:46,960 --> 01:39:49,080
Speaker 1: I always wonder about that because these laws, you know,

1963
01:39:49,160 --> 01:39:53,200
Speaker 1: these these court challenges always take so long to get through,

1964
01:39:53,840 --> 01:39:55,240
Speaker 1: and by the time they do that, you know, tech

1965
01:39:55,360 --> 01:39:58,800
Speaker 1: is evolving so quickly. To me, it's like, you know,

1966
01:39:59,080 --> 01:40:01,439
Speaker 1: if open aies can out their own browser, this DA

1967
01:40:01,520 --> 01:40:03,840
Speaker 1: browser that you mentioned from the browser company, like you said,

1968
01:40:03,880 --> 01:40:06,120
Speaker 1: is that's getting a lot of publicity. It's like people

1969
01:40:06,240 --> 01:40:09,000
Speaker 1: have the options already whether they want to switch and

1970
01:40:09,160 --> 01:40:12,479
Speaker 1: whether it means anything. If another company even wants Chrome,

1971
01:40:12,880 --> 01:40:14,559
Speaker 1: what does it mean If it's split up from Google,

1972
01:40:14,640 --> 01:40:15,559
Speaker 1: it may not mean anything.

1973
01:40:16,080 --> 01:40:19,719
Speaker 13: Yeah, there's this concept in antitrust called a natural monopoly,

1974
01:40:19,960 --> 01:40:22,599
Speaker 13: and a natural monopoly is just where building the thing

1975
01:40:23,040 --> 01:40:25,400
Speaker 13: that you sell is so expensive that someone else can't

1976
01:40:25,439 --> 01:40:28,200
Speaker 13: do it. So like cable TV would be an example

1977
01:40:28,200 --> 01:40:29,840
Speaker 13: where you have to rip up the streets to put

1978
01:40:29,840 --> 01:40:33,160
Speaker 13: your tables in and it may be that the browser

1979
01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:36,280
Speaker 13: and search is a natural monopoly, where like it's so

1980
01:40:36,439 --> 01:40:38,280
Speaker 13: hard to be good at it that once you're good

1981
01:40:38,320 --> 01:40:40,799
Speaker 13: at it, you get more data and you dominate everything.

1982
01:40:41,520 --> 01:40:44,760
Speaker 13: And so maybe open ai is going to be able

1983
01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:47,320
Speaker 13: to displace Chrome with a better browser because they'll have that,

1984
01:40:47,479 --> 01:40:49,680
Speaker 13: and then they'll become a monopoly and government will have

1985
01:40:49,760 --> 01:40:52,759
Speaker 13: to come after them. It's just something about this business

1986
01:40:52,840 --> 01:40:57,200
Speaker 13: and the and recurring data that makes it hard to compete.

1987
01:40:57,760 --> 01:41:02,200
Speaker 1: Wild Times and Technology are Paparo, former Google executive and

1988
01:41:02,320 --> 01:41:06,160
Speaker 1: author of Yield How Google Bought, built, and bullied its

1989
01:41:06,200 --> 01:41:11,040
Speaker 1: way to advertising dominance. The book is out on August fifth.

1990
01:41:11,240 --> 01:41:13,519
Speaker 1: Check it out wherever you buy books. It's on Amazon

1991
01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:15,800
Speaker 1: of course. Ari, good luck with the launch.

1992
01:41:16,479 --> 01:41:19,040
Speaker 13: Thanks for having me, and thanks for the great questions.

1993
01:41:19,240 --> 01:41:22,800
Speaker 1: Really appreciate you coming on the show Rich on tech

1994
01:41:23,040 --> 01:41:26,240
Speaker 1: dot TV. If you want a link to Ari's book,

1995
01:41:26,560 --> 01:41:30,320
Speaker 1: I will put it up there. You ever feel your

1996
01:41:30,400 --> 01:41:33,919
Speaker 1: heart skip a beat? Literally, I've got so many emails

1997
01:41:34,040 --> 01:41:38,240
Speaker 1: about this Cardio mobile device. One listener told me how

1998
01:41:38,280 --> 01:41:41,320
Speaker 1: he went to donate blood and they flagged something off

1999
01:41:41,400 --> 01:41:44,400
Speaker 1: with his heartbeat. Then his sister or nurse said she'd

2000
01:41:44,439 --> 01:41:47,040
Speaker 1: heard him storing through a closed door.

2001
01:41:47,560 --> 01:41:47,720
Speaker 3: Well.

2002
01:41:47,760 --> 01:41:50,280
Speaker 1: That got his attention, so he picked up a cardio

2003
01:41:50,360 --> 01:41:52,680
Speaker 1: mobile to check his heart rhythm at home, and sure enough,

2004
01:41:52,840 --> 01:41:56,439
Speaker 1: it caught something. His doctor reviewed the results and said

2005
01:41:56,479 --> 01:42:00,400
Speaker 1: it looked like a PVC usually harmless. Harmless but worth modering.

2006
01:42:00,840 --> 01:42:03,679
Speaker 1: But it turns out he also had undiagnosed sleep apnea.

2007
01:42:04,280 --> 01:42:06,760
Speaker 1: That means he stops breathing over thirty times an hour.

2008
01:42:06,840 --> 01:42:09,479
Speaker 1: Now he's sleeping better using a CPAP and tracking his

2009
01:42:09,600 --> 01:42:13,160
Speaker 1: heart more closely than ever you can too. That's where

2010
01:42:13,160 --> 01:42:16,400
Speaker 1: the Cardia Mobile six L comes in. It's the most

2011
01:42:16,560 --> 01:42:20,600
Speaker 1: advanced personal EKG you can buy. It's FDA cleared to

2012
01:42:20,720 --> 01:42:23,880
Speaker 1: detect a fib and it is more accurate than a

2013
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:26,160
Speaker 1: smart watch. To use it, all you have to do

2014
01:42:26,320 --> 01:42:28,439
Speaker 1: is put your two fingers on it takes a reading,

2015
01:42:28,760 --> 01:42:31,280
Speaker 1: shows you that reading on your phone. You can even

Speaker 1: print out a nice little PDF if you want bring

2017
01:42:33,280 --> 01:42:35,479
Speaker 1: it to your doctor or if you want to do

2018
01:42:35,640 --> 01:42:39,920
Speaker 1: the more extensive reading. All you have to do is

2019
01:42:40,040 --> 01:42:41,600
Speaker 1: put your two fingers on it and then put the

2020
01:42:41,640 --> 01:42:44,600
Speaker 1: other side of the cardia right on your ankle and

2021

01:43:28,880 --> 01:43:31,959
Speaker 2: But first, just a couple things. Check my instagram.

2033
01:43:32,080 --> 01:43:36,240
Speaker 1: At rich On Tech, I visited very very cool place,

2034
01:43:36,320 --> 01:43:38,320
Speaker 1: something that you dream of as a kid. Walt Disney

2035
01:43:38,360 --> 01:43:42,640
Speaker 1: Imagineering took a big tour yesterday and I'll have some

2036
01:43:42,760 --> 01:43:46,320
Speaker 1: more coverage on my radio show on TV soon. But

2037
01:43:46,680 --> 01:43:48,519
Speaker 1: on my Instagram, I've been posting some of the cool

2038
01:43:48,600 --> 01:43:50,720
Speaker 1: things I got to see and I'll just be kind

2039
01:43:50,760 --> 01:43:52,680
Speaker 1: of peppering it over the next couple of days, so

2040
01:43:52,920 --> 01:43:55,439
Speaker 1: definitely follow me there at rich On Tech. I've got

2041
01:43:55,479 --> 01:43:59,080
Speaker 1: me playing with a lightsaber a couple other things on there,

2042
01:43:59,160 --> 01:44:02,599
Speaker 1: so really really really cool. And then what else, Oh,

2043
01:44:03,080 --> 01:44:06,280
Speaker 1: my dad did this thing where he switched his whole setup,

2044
01:44:06,360 --> 01:44:09,560
Speaker 1: his internet, his phones, everything without calling me. Said he

2045
01:44:09,560 --> 01:44:11,400
Speaker 1: didn't want to bug me, and I kind of gave

2046
01:44:11,479 --> 01:44:12,840
Speaker 1: him a hard time. I was like, Dad, you know

2047
01:44:12,920 --> 01:44:14,800
Speaker 1: your son does this for a living, Like call me

2048
01:44:14,880 --> 01:44:16,400
Speaker 1: the next time. He's like, I don't want to bother you.

2049
01:44:16,800 --> 01:44:19,800
Speaker 1: I said, this is how people get scammed when you

2050
01:44:19,960 --> 01:44:24,000
Speaker 1: don't want to bother your family or friends with a

2051
01:44:24,080 --> 01:44:26,439
Speaker 1: problem you're having or an issue, and then you end

2052
01:44:26,520 --> 01:44:29,320
Speaker 1: up getting scammed because the scam artist takes advantage of that. Now,

2053
01:44:29,360 --> 01:44:31,160
Speaker 1: he did not get scammed. He actually did a pretty

2054
01:44:31,200 --> 01:44:33,559
Speaker 1: good deal signing up for all this stuff. He did

2055
01:44:33,640 --> 01:44:35,920
Speaker 1: make a big switch carriers and all that stuff. But

2056
01:44:36,880 --> 01:44:39,599
Speaker 1: I thought this was pretty interesting from a vast They

2057
01:44:39,680 --> 01:44:42,880
Speaker 1: came out with their Safe Tech Report twenty twenty five

2058
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:45,639
Speaker 1: saying fifty nine percent of older loved ones have fallen

2059
01:44:45,720 --> 01:44:50,280
Speaker 1: victim to cybercrime, often from scams and social engineering. Nearly

2060
01:44:50,360 --> 01:44:53,599
Speaker 1: half of adults still write passwords on paper, which they

2061
01:44:53,640 --> 01:44:57,799
Speaker 1: say is a major security risk. They encourage younger adults

2062
01:44:57,840 --> 01:45:01,200
Speaker 1: to lead a safe tech talk with their parents and grandparents.

2063
01:45:01,240 --> 01:45:03,320
Speaker 1: So kind of like the talk that your parents might

2064
01:45:03,360 --> 01:45:05,880
Speaker 1: have had with you. This is the tech talk that

2065
01:45:05,960 --> 01:45:09,400
Speaker 1: you should have with your parents. So fifty three percent

2066
01:45:09,479 --> 01:45:12,160
Speaker 1: of only fifty three percent of older adults were warned

2067
01:45:12,160 --> 01:45:18,080
Speaker 1: about risky behavior actually change their habits. Best behaviors include

2068
01:45:18,160 --> 01:45:21,280
Speaker 1: using a password manager, learning common scam red flags, and

2069
01:45:21,320 --> 01:45:22,639
Speaker 1: installing protection software.

2070
01:45:22,680 --> 01:45:23,920
Speaker 2: Of course, I asked going to say that.

2071
01:45:25,520 --> 01:45:28,280
Speaker 1: The thing I liked about this they've got the full report,

2072
01:45:28,320 --> 01:45:31,040
Speaker 1: but they also made a printable flyer. You can literally

2073
01:45:31,160 --> 01:45:34,519
Speaker 1: print out this flyer that you can paste in your parents'

2074
01:45:34,600 --> 01:45:37,360
Speaker 1: home office or your loved one's home office, and it

2075
01:45:37,479 --> 01:45:40,200
Speaker 1: reminds them of all the scammy stuff that they might encounter.

2076
01:45:40,520 --> 01:45:42,040
Speaker 1: It's kind of like when you're at the break room

2077
01:45:42,120 --> 01:45:44,479
Speaker 1: at your work and it's like, be safe. That's what

2078
01:45:44,600 --> 01:45:46,680
Speaker 1: it is for your parents. So get that for your

2079
01:45:46,760 --> 01:45:49,559
Speaker 1: parents and grandparents, printed out, put it on their home

2080
01:45:49,640 --> 01:45:51,560
Speaker 1: office wall, put the link on the website. Rich on

2081
01:45:51,640 --> 01:45:55,680
Speaker 1: tech dot tv, all right, time for the feedbag. I'm

2082
01:45:55,720 --> 01:45:56,960
Speaker 1: she going to try to get through as many of

2083
01:45:57,000 --> 01:45:59,960
Speaker 1: these as possible, Jeff writes in I heard the segment

2084
01:46:00,280 --> 01:46:03,160
Speaker 1: where Carino was looking for a way to offload her

2085
01:46:03,280 --> 01:46:07,600
Speaker 1: exercise videos. One easy solution upload them to YouTube. She

2086
01:46:07,680 --> 01:46:09,920
Speaker 1: can mark them private or unlisted and then just save

2087
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:12,520
Speaker 1: them to her favorites and access them anywhere anytime.

2088
01:46:13,439 --> 01:46:16,919
Speaker 2: That is a simple solution. Sometimes I'm doing the solutions

2089
01:46:16,960 --> 01:46:17,280
Speaker 2: on the show.

2090
01:46:17,280 --> 01:46:19,320
Speaker 1: I don't think of everything all at once, but that's

2091
01:46:19,360 --> 01:46:22,680
Speaker 1: a good One day from Eastern Washington, Rights and I

2092
01:46:22,760 --> 01:46:25,200
Speaker 1: heard the question on the show about organizing digital files.

2093
01:46:25,240 --> 01:46:27,439
Speaker 1: I wanted to share my method. It's free and easy.

2094
01:46:28,320 --> 01:46:30,640
Speaker 1: I create a main folder on my computer called my

2095
01:46:30,760 --> 01:46:34,519
Speaker 1: file Cabinet. Inside that I add folders by category, bank statements,

2096
01:46:34,560 --> 01:46:38,120
Speaker 1: credit cards, insurance. I scan my paper documents monthly and

2097
01:46:38,320 --> 01:46:41,040
Speaker 1: name each file with a date like six eight, twenty

2098
01:46:41,120 --> 01:46:44,720
Speaker 1: five Discover, so they sort themselves. Each main folder has

2099
01:46:44,760 --> 01:46:47,360
Speaker 1: subfolders by year. I keep everything on USB drives that

2100
01:46:47,400 --> 01:46:49,679
Speaker 1: I unplug when I'm done. It's simple, it works great,

2101
01:46:49,720 --> 01:46:54,519
Speaker 1: and it doesn't cost a thing. Dave, Thanks Dave. Ronald

2102
01:46:54,600 --> 01:46:56,479
Speaker 1: writes in hey, Rich, just wanted to thank you for

2103
01:46:56,560 --> 01:47:00,639
Speaker 1: the SIM protection information. I use track phone on by Verizon,

2104
01:47:00,680 --> 01:47:02,559
Speaker 1: and while the steps were a little different, I eventually

2105
01:47:02,640 --> 01:47:04,960
Speaker 1: found the account settings and it was actually simple to

2106
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:08,080
Speaker 1: add the protection. It showed to lock and unlock toggle.

2107
01:47:08,320 --> 01:47:11,800
Speaker 1: Thank you well, Thank you ron for following those directions.

2108
01:47:12,600 --> 01:47:16,200
Speaker 1: Howard writes in from Wisconsin, rich I initially asked about

2109
01:47:16,200 --> 01:47:18,280
Speaker 1: Microsoft Backup, but I was actually trying to figure out

2110
01:47:18,280 --> 01:47:20,240
Speaker 1: the easiest way to sign up for the Windows ten

2111
01:47:20,720 --> 01:47:24,920
Speaker 1: Extended Security Updates program for multiple PCs. Most guides don't

2112
01:47:24,920 --> 01:47:27,920
Speaker 1: explain how to cover several computers under one account. I

2113
01:47:28,040 --> 01:47:31,080
Speaker 1: discovered that if you redeem one thousand Microsoft Rewards points,

2114
01:47:31,120 --> 01:47:33,480
Speaker 1: you can activate e SU and up to ten devices,

2115
01:47:33,920 --> 01:47:36,360
Speaker 1: which is probably the easiest route. I've already earned over

2116
01:47:36,439 --> 01:47:38,960
Speaker 1: four hundred points in two days. I should have my

2117
01:47:39,040 --> 01:47:41,759
Speaker 1: one thousand by Friday. Thanks again for the great newsletter

2118
01:47:41,880 --> 01:47:45,360
Speaker 1: and tech help. Yes, you can go to Rewards dot

2119
01:47:45,520 --> 01:47:49,040
Speaker 1: bing dot com to rack up points and get an

2120
01:47:49,080 --> 01:47:53,720
Speaker 1: extra year of security updates for Windows ten. Tim wrights in.

2121
01:47:53,840 --> 01:47:56,719
Speaker 1: I have both Uma and magic Jack voipe phone lines

2122
01:47:56,760 --> 01:47:59,559
Speaker 1: at home. Magic Jack is barely adequate as a landline

2123
01:47:59,560 --> 01:48:02,360
Speaker 1: subsidy to the call quality is marginal, but as a

2124
01:48:02,439 --> 01:48:04,800
Speaker 1: fax line it's fine. Uma, on the other hand, is

2125
01:48:04,880 --> 01:48:07,400
Speaker 1: much better. I use it as my landline connected to

2126
01:48:07,479 --> 01:48:10,320
Speaker 1: my router and it works great. I pay about seven

2127
01:48:10,400 --> 01:48:12,680
Speaker 1: dollars a month for the basic plan. That's all I need.

2128
01:48:12,800 --> 01:48:15,360
Speaker 1: The device costs me eighty dollars in twenty twenty three.

2129
01:48:16,040 --> 01:48:18,479
Speaker 1: I mostly use it as a throwaway number for online

2130
01:48:18,560 --> 01:48:22,880
Speaker 1: forms to avoid spam on my cell. One tip if

2131
01:48:22,920 --> 01:48:24,559
Speaker 1: you go this route, be sure to use a UPS

2132
01:48:24,680 --> 01:48:27,360
Speaker 1: backup to especially if you have Fiber.

2133
01:48:27,479 --> 01:48:29,200
Speaker 2: I've got Frontier. They install the.

2134
01:48:30,720 --> 01:48:33,360
Speaker 1: ONT in my garage, so I ran my ethernet to

2135
01:48:33,400 --> 01:48:37,120
Speaker 1: make sure I get the full five hundred speed. Okay,

2136
01:48:37,360 --> 01:48:40,040
Speaker 1: Tim writes in, I got an LG gram fifteen inch,

2137
01:48:40,160 --> 01:48:42,840
Speaker 1: very light, great screen. The keyboard is backlit. I love it,

2138
01:48:42,960 --> 01:48:45,439
Speaker 1: except for two things. The keyboard's pretty awful and the

2139
01:48:45,479 --> 01:48:50,360
Speaker 1: space bar isn't always functional. And Linda writes in, Rich

2140
01:48:50,439 --> 01:48:52,320
Speaker 1: no question here, just a quick email to tell you

2141
01:48:52,360 --> 01:48:55,120
Speaker 1: how much I appreciate you as a person. You clearly

2142
01:48:55,240 --> 01:48:58,320
Speaker 1: have high integrity in your work life, but also solid

2143
01:48:58,360 --> 01:49:01,760
Speaker 1: devotion to your wife and sons. I really appreciate seeing that.

2144
01:49:01,960 --> 01:49:05,439
Speaker 1: Keep up the good work. Thank you, Linda. That is

2145
01:49:05,520 --> 01:49:08,360
Speaker 1: the email of the week. You get the gold star

2146
01:49:08,479 --> 01:49:10,960
Speaker 1: for that email. Thank you so much. That's going to

2147
01:49:11,040 --> 01:49:12,960
Speaker 1: do it for this episode of the show. You can
