00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: the USA. We'll ask them how that's going. Well. I

27
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: hope you're having a great day. This week. I attended

28
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: a nine to one to one conference and picked up

29
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: a pretty helpful tip. Whenever I learned something, I'm always like, Okay,

30
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: I need to share this with other folks. This was

31
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: the NINA nine one one Association. This is like a

32
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: group of basically all the people that work in the

33
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: emergency response field when it comes to nine to one one, right,

34
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: the operators, their managers, just all those folks. They gather

35
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: once a year and learn and see what new technology

36
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: is available in their world. But one of the folks

37
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: I was interviewing mentioned something just in passing and I

38
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: was like, wait, what was that. It's called smart nine

39
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 1: one one dot com. Smart nine one one dot com.

40
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: So if you go to this website, you can create

41
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: a safety profile that is linked to your phone number,

42
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: and you can add information like medical info, allergies, any

43
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: household details that might be smart for a dispatcher. To

44
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: see when you call if you ever need to call

45
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: nine one one. Now keep in mind you have to

46
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: when you're calling. The dispatch center has to support this technology.

47
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: And there are six thousand, it's nine one one centers

48
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: in the US, and they all have varying levels of technology.

49
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: Some are super old school, some are really high tech.

50
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: Obviously depends on the city and the funding and all

51
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: that good stuff. But you can actually go on smart

52
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: none I'm on one's website and check to see if

53
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: your area is one of those supported. So you can

54
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: pop in your zip code and it will tell you.

55
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: And i'd give you that website, but that one's a

56
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: little bit longer, so you'll have to go to my

57
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: website rich on tech dot tv for the link. But

58
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: once you fill this out, they will see that information

59
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: on your screen in addition to the standard information they

60
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: might see. So I think this is worth setting up

61
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: if you have some sort of medical condition or someone

62
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: in your house does some sort of special circumstances. And

63
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: then this got me to thinking in general, it's probably

64
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: a good time to update your phone's emergency settings because

65
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: all of these smartphones have emergency settings that can you

66
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: know you've got to fill out your information. People can

67
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: see this if they ever have you know, if they

68
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: ever find you and you've got your phone on you,

69
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: or when you call for help. Your phone can also

70
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: send more information and again depending on the call center,

71
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: they can see that information. So number one on the iPhone,

72
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: go to settings and there's an entire section called Emergency SOS.

73
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: Look in there, review your emergency contacts. Make sure you

74
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: have that set up. Then you can open up the

75
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: health app on the iPhone, tap your profile and select

76
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: medical ID and you can fill out all of your

77
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: information for your medical ID, any allergies, you might have

78
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: your weight, height, whatever you want people to know if

79
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: they were to find you with your smartphone. And this

80
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: is something that can access from your lock screen even

81
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: if your phone is locked, but you have to toggle

82
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: on show when locked. And then there's also an option

83
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: to share during emergency call. So again it's kind of

84
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,799
Speaker 1: like that smart nine on one system I was talking about,

85
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: but this comes directly from your phone. That information is

86
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: pushed to the nine one one operator if their system

87
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: supports it. On Samsung, go into your Settings, there's a

88
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: section called Safety and Emergency. Again, you can fill out

89
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: your medical info and your emergency contacts, and they have

90
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: a very similar setting called show on lockscreen and then

91
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: share during emergency calls and texts? Did you know you

92
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,799
Speaker 1: could text nine one one in a lot of places?

93
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: So I was asking, I was talking to a lot

94
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: of people about texting nine one one. So of course,

95
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: always call, right, you always want to call. Ideally that's

96
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: the best way to get in touch with nine one one.

97
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: But if you are in a situation where texting is better,

98
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: and let's say there's someone unannounced in your home, you're

99
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: in some sort of domestic dispute, you are you know,

100
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: in a closet somewhere hiding, you don't want to make

101
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: a phone call. That's when you would text nine one one. Now,

102
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: a lot of these nine one one centers can accept

103
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: that text, but if they can't, it will immediately bounce

104
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: back your text and say, hey, we can't accept this text.

105
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: You got to call. So but it's worth it if

106
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: you're in one of those situations where you cannot call,

107
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: So remember that. Now, if you have a Pixel phone

108
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: from Google, they also have a lot of emergency settings

109
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: on there. So if you go to settings safety in emergency,

110
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: they've got this personal safety app and it is filled

111
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: with all kinds of stuff. Go into your info, fill

112
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: out all your medical info. You can toggle on the

113
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: visibility options like I mentioned earlier. But again, just kind

114
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 1: of taking care of this stuff now could make a

115
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: huge difference in a real emergency. So be prepared. Hopefully

116
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: you never need to know any of this stuff or

117
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: use any of this stuff. But you know, I've had

118
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: to call nine one one once. I remember one time,

119
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: specifically during an emergency situation with one of my kids,

120
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: and your brain goes to jelly. It actually reminded me.

121
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: I know this is silly to make this reference, but

122
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: I was on the prices right many years ago, and

123
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: it was the same exact way my brain felt. My

124
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: entire brain was just gobbledy gook up there like it

125
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: just like imagine a jello just like floating around like jiggling.

126
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: That's what my brain felt like when I called nine

127
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: one one. You are out of body, you are not

128
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: thinking clearly. They're asking you questions you don't even know

129
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: the answers to them. And so being prepared now and

130
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: have that information pushed to nine one one, the more

131
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: information the better, and it's it was really interesting to me.

132
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: We've been trained so long now on TV and movies

133
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: that when you call nine one one, they immediately get

134
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: that lock right on your location. Like it's just like

135
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: this little system like bing bing bing. There they are.

136
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: That's not always the case. A lot of times, depending

137
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: on the technology they're using, it may be triangulated from

138
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: the cell phone companies, you know, depending on how exact

139
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: they their systems are. Now the systems have gotten a

140
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: lot better, and our smartphone send a lot of data

141
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: to the call center, so that's a great thing. So

142
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: the point is, all of this stuff is really helping

143
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: save a lot of lives, So it's a good thing.

144
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: I'll put all that stuff on my website. Rich on

145
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: tech dot TV. Another story, my kid getting ready for

146
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: the show today. My kid comes running into my bedroom. Dad,

147
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: did you know that Windows is getting rid of the

148
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: blue screen of death? I'm like, Tanner, what, what what

149
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: makes you care about that? He's like, I don't know.

150
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: That thing's iconic. It's been there forever, and he's right,

151
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: it's been. I mean, I can't believe it's been nearly

152
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: forty years. But yeah, apparently Microsoft is changing the blue

153
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: screen of death to black in Windows eleven, and the

154
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: new black screen of death will remove the frowning face

155
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: and the QR code. This is being widely reported it'll

156
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: still show some information at the bottom of the screen

157
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: for it professionals, but I guess for us everyday folks.

158
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: They're just trying to make Windows easier to troubleshoot simpler.

159
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: And this is gonna arrive later this summer with some

160
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: sort of new quick machine recovery feature. But you know,

161
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: if you've been using Windows for a long time, you

162
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: might be shocked the first time you see this, because

163
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: the blue screen of death has been a staple since

164
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: the eighties. And I personally, I'm one of these people

165
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: that loves seeing any sort of fail screen around town.

166
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: So if I am, like, you know, at the fast

167
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: food place or at the airport, and you know, they're

168
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: all running some sort of operating system in the background

169
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: on these digital screens. So I have a whole collection

170
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: of my Google photos of all of these. I call

171
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: them fail screens where it's just like some sort of

172
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: update window Windows isn't responding. You don't see it too

173
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: much with the Apple stuff, but you know, you do

174
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 1: see Android screens. But I love that stuff. I don't

175
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: know why. It just gives you a little, a little

176
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: behind the scenes into the world of like just nerds

177
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: get a kick out of this stuff, right, I don't know.

178
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 2: I do.

179
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: And also this is a big story. This week Windows

180
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: ten users, Microsoft announced a way that you can get

181
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: a free year of security updates. So if you are

182
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: dreading that end of life support for Windows ten coming

183
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: up in October, you actually can get a free year

184
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: of security updates. And it's very easy to do. I

185
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: will explain what you need to do. You have three

186
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: options that will get you an additional lifeline of one

187
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: year on your Windows so you can plan for a

188
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: new computer in a full year. I'll explain that when

189
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 1: we come back after this eighty eight rich one O

190
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight seven four to two four to

191
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: one zero one. I see folks that are already on

192
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: the phone lines. We'll get to some of those up

193
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: next and I'll tell you about that Windows ten extension

194
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: right here on rich On Tech. Welcome back to rich

195
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: On Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you, talking

196
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: technology at eight eight eight rich one O one. That's

197
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

198
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,719
Speaker 1: Let's go to Rick in Thousand Oaks. Rick, You're on

199
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: with Rich Hi.

200
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 3: I'm interested in transferring from paper files for household bills

201
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 3: to digital and but when I look online, everything is

202
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 3: just so complicated that it has scaling capabilities and trends,

203
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 3: and it's clearly designed for business. And I just want

204
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 3: to strip down homeowner one. And all I want to

205
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 3: do is either in part the paperless thing or scan

206
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 3: in a paper one and then put I wanted an

207
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 3: ability to edit. I create a box on the document

208
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 3: that I put down the check number of the date.

209
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 3: You know how I paid it, when I paid it,

210
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 3: and how much I paid. So I have a trail

211
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 3: if there's an issue a year down the road or something.

212
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, well lost you there. That's pretty easy. I mean,

213
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: this is actually funny because I was at the doctor

214
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: yesterday and I was trying to bring up I scan

215
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: all of my stuff, and I have for a decade now,

216
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: every single paper everything that comes into my house gets

217
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: scanned and put into a digital folder and so and

218
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: it's really most of the time very easy to search

219
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: through that and find the information you need, especially now

220
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: with AI. But yesterday at the doctor and I wanted

221
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: to find some results of a test I had a

222
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, and for the life of me,

223
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: I could not find anything related to this. And I'm

224
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: sitting there and I was embarrassed, and I'm like, I

225
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: can't believe that this is happening, because I've done all

226
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: my due diligence of scanning these things in and hooding

227
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: them in. And I will tell you, it gets a

228
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: little tricky with the with the keywords. Because let's say

229
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: you use city Bank, right, and you put your city bank,

230
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: every one of your credit card statements or your banking

231
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: statements into this folder, and then you search City Bank

232
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: at the end of the year. That's going to be

233
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: tricky to find, you know, the exact statement that you want,

234
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: because there's a million things that are that say City

235
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: Bank in there. I will tell you, I think the

236
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: thing that works the best with this is searching for

237
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: the dollar amount in any sort of receipt or something. So,

238
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: for instance, I've got a flex spending account or a

239
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: health saving account, whatever you call it. But basically, if

240
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: you go to the doctor, the bill is eighty two

241
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: dollars and seventeen cents you paid on this debit card

242
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: that your work gives you and then you might have

243
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: to submit a receipt later on. Well, I've found that

244
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: it's really easy once you scan that receipt to search

245
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: for that amount eighty seven thirteen whatever it is, and

246
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: it will come right up. So that works perfectly. To

247
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: answer your question, Rick, I think what you need to

248
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: do is just come up with some sort of cloud

249
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: storage that you like and trust. So you can use

250
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 1: Google Drive, you can use one Drive, you can use Dropbox,

251
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: you can use iCloud. And once you do that, you

252
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: establish I do a year system, so I'll do twenty

253
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: twenty five and then I'll just dump everything into twenty

254
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: twenty five and I'm feeling really good about it. I

255
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: will put things in folders inside twenty twenty five, so

256
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: like City Bank, Bank of America, American Airlines, you know,

257
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 1: and I'll put every statement inside their individual folders, and

258
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: then each person for my home. And if you want

259
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: some ideas of the folders to come up with, just

260
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: ask CHATCHBT say hey, what are some basic folders for

261
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: household organization in my cloud drive, and it will give

262
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: you a list of like the suggested folders, and then

263
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: you can work off of that. You can also use

264
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: an app like Evernoe, but that could get kind of

265
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: expensive because they do have some great search features and

266
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: they do have some great functionality of getting this stuff

267
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: scanned in there. Of course you can annotate it, but

268
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 1: it gets kind of expensive to actually store that long time,

269
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: long term, whereas with something like a one drive iCloud

270
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: your dropbox, you know you're getting some free storage and

271
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: also you may be paying for that storage already. When

272
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: it comes to annotating the PDFs or whatever you're doing,

273
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: there are some websites that can help you do that.

274
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: You can use something like I Love pdf. You have

275
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: to remember, if you're using sensitive files, you probably want

276
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: to do this locally on your computer. So if you're

277
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: running on a Mac, you can just use the built

278
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: in preview PDF viewer on your Mac and just use

279
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: the annotation tools on there. You know, create a textbox

280
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: and just type in, you know, paid paid this bill

281
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: and the date that you paid it. Sometimes I'll just

282
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: write on the bill itself and then scan it after that.

283
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: And yesterday I was doing all of this stuff. So

284
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: I have three three files systems in my home. One says,

285
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: you know, take action, basically an inbox. The next one

286
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: is to scan, I've already taken action, and the other

287
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: the third is to shred. So basically, anything that comes

288
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: into my home in the mail first goes into that

289
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: top file folder, which which means I need to take action.

290
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: That means I need to pay the bill, or I

291
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: need to do something with that. If it doesn't need

292
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: any action, I'll put it in that middle folder, which

293
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: is just to scan, or if I'm done with the file,

294
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: I'll put it in there, and then the third one

295
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: is to shred it. So that's sort of my system.

296
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: It works pretty well, except for yesterday when I actually

297
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: needed to find something, but otherwise I find that it

298
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: works really really well. And the good news is you

299
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: can use your phone to scan in these files. If

300
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: you open up on the iPhone the files app. It's

301
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: actually really really easy. Open up the files app, go

302
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: into a folder. Tap in the upper right hand corner.

303
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: It says scan documents, and if you just hold your

304
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: phone over paper, or if you just have it on

305
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: a little tripod, you don't even need to do anything.

306
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: It'll automatically scan that paper and then you can just

307
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: move the next one in scan it, Move the next

308
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: one in scan it, move the next one in it.

309
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: You don't even have to like press any buttons or

310
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: do anything. And on the iPhone, on a Samsung they

311
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: also have and on Pixel I would just recommend using

312
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: the built in Google Drive app. They've got a very

313
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: similar system. If you open up the Google Drive app,

314
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: there's a little camera icon in the lower right hand corner.

315
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: You tap that and you can easily scan your documents

316
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: using that and it works pretty well. I don't think

317
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: the quality is as good as a dedicated scanner, which

318
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: you know, the one that I have. Oh gosh, what

319
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: is it the scanner I have, it's the IX Fidjitsu,

320
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: it's the i X. Let's see which one is this.

321
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: It's a little tiny one. It's like a FIDGETSU is

322
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: a main brand that does it. I've got to find

323
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: the exact scanner that I have there. But it's a

324
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: it's a very simple scanner and it's handheld and it's

325
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: like super easy. But there's a million scanners you can

326
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: use your you know, you can use inkjet printer whatever

327
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: you want, but just get these things scanned in and

328
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 1: uh yeah, the search will help you out. Great question, Rick,

329
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call. Eight to eight. Rich One O

Speaker 4: Uh.

335
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: Earlier I was talking about all that information about security

336
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: and nine to one one, So I put that all

337
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: on the website rich on tech dot TV. All the

338
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: links for what I mentioned is right there rich on

339
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: tech dot TV.

340
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 5: UH.

341
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 1: Windows ten users, Microsoft announced this week you can get

342
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: a free year of security updates. So a lot of

343
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: questions on this show about what's called end of life

344
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: support for Windows ten, which is ending on October fourteenth,

345
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. No more security or feature updates after

346
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: that date. It's been ten years for Windows ten if

347
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 1: you can believe it, I can't. It's had a good run.

348
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: But Microsoft is now offering a free year of extended

349
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 1: security updates. If here's how you can get them. You

350
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: have three ways. Number one, this is the new way

351
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: you can use Windows Backup to sync your settings and

352
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: files to the cloud. Now I checked this Windows Backup program. Basically,

353
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: it's kind of like it'll just sink the folders, the

354
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: desktop folder documents and pictures, your apps, so to remember

355
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: the installed apps you have, the ones that you've pinned

356
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: to like things like the taskbar. It'll remember your settings

357
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: like Wi Fi passwords and things like that. So that

358
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: is very simple, and you don't have to put a

359
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: bunch of files in the desktop, the documents or the pictures.

360
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: You can move them out if you don't want to

361
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 1: take up all of your storage. You get I think

362
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: it says five gigs for free, and so let's see here, Yeah,

363
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: five gigabytes for free. I'm using one point nine on

364
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: my computer. Now that's a test device, so it's not

365
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: something I'm using day to day. But that's the first

366
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: way and the easiest way to do it. Just all

367
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: you have to do is toggle on Windows backup. Next

368
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: thing you can do if you don't want to do that,

369
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: is you can redeem one thousand Microsoft Rewards points. And

370
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: you're like, wait, what are rewards points? Well, you might

371
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: have them if you've ever searched, bing, or done a

372
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: bunch of stuff with Microsoft, like, for instance, go to

373
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: rewards dot bing dot com. I somehow have two nine

374
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: hundred and five points available, so I can do the

375
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 1: one thousand Rewards points to get the extra year, or

376
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: if you don't want to do that, you can pay

377
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: thirty dollars to enroll manually for that extra year of

378
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: security updates. Now you can't do this just yet. You

379
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 1: have to wait a little bit. Microsoft just announced this.

380
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: They're going to send a notification to computers sometime in

381
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: July or mid August for most people, so you've got

382
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: some time. But now that you know you can do this,

383
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: you can rest a little bit easy. You can know

384
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: that you can use Windows ten for another year. Just

385
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: by doing these two things, you'll get coverage through October

386
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. Again, this is just security updates, no

387
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: more features. If your computer can handle Windows eleven, I

388
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: would suggest just updating to that. But if you've got

389
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: some sort of special program you run, or you just

390
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: have a reason why you don't want to go to

391
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: Windows eleven or your computer can't support it, you can

392
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: stick with Windows ten for another year. So again, easy

393
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: ways to get this Three easy ways. Use the Windows backup,

394
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: redeem a thousand Microsoft Rewards points, or just pay thirty dollars.

395
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: This is for consumers only. Just remember that businesses have

396
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: a whole separate program. But this is a really nice

397
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: lifeline for folks that don't want to deal with getting

398
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: a new computer or don't want to deal with the update.

399
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 1: But I will tell you this. You have one year

400
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 1: now from October. Start planning for a new computer. Right,

401
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 1: don't wait until October of next year to buy the

402
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 1: new computer. Start planning for that new computer. Let's go

403
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: to Paul a Newport Beach. Paul bought the Kindle color

404
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: Soft and he's got a review. Paul, welcome to the show.

405
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 6: Why, thank you? Rich?

406
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: Hey, So you love your Kindle? Which one did you

407
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: have before this? The Oasis?

408
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: Right?

409
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 6: I've had Kindles since twenty twelve.

410
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: Wow.

411
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 6: I started with the Kindle e Reader, then the paper White,

412
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 6: and when the Oasis came out, I liked the bigger screen,

413
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 6: so I went to the bigger screen and the page

414
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 6: turning buttons, which I really liked. And my Oasis was

415
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 6: getting a little long in the tooth. I was having

416
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 6: to charge it every other day.

417
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 1: Oh that's like mine right now. My battery is kind

418
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: of shot on it. It's like every time I want

419
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: to use it, it's like dead.

420
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah. And the of course it has the micro

421
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 6: plug for the USB and that's old fashioned too.

422
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: The last of its kind in my house. That's the

423
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: only thing.

424
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 6: When the color Soft came out, I immediately ordered it.

425
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 6: It was two hundred and eighty dollars. That's more than

426
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 6: the Kindle Paper White, which runs from one hundred and

427
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 6: sixty to two hundred dollars if you want the signature edition. Basically,

428
00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 6: what I've discovered is that the Colorsoft is essentially a

429
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 6: paper white signature edition, paper white with a color screen.

430
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 6: So what does that mean. It means that you can

431
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 6: get your the cover of your book if you have

432
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 6: the cover preview, and the books that you've read on

433
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,959
Speaker 6: the home screen and books that are suggested for you

434
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 6: on the home screen in color.

435
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 1: So it looks a little more modern overall.

436
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 6: I would say, right, yeah, it looks modern, But I

437
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 6: only read regular books. I don't read, you know, Japanese

438
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 6: cartoon books or anything like that, so I don't really

439
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 6: get a chance to take advantage of the color screen

440
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 6: because all the prints in black and white, like.

441
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: The graphic novels and all that, I don't read those. Okay,

442
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: so if you've.

443
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 6: Read I'm mostly into just print text. But what I

444
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 6: do like is the battery life is incredible. I mean

445
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 6: I can go an entire week without having to charge

446
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 6: a thing, and I probably could go longer than that.

447
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 6: And I use it two hours a day.

448
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: Oh wow.

449
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 6: The other thing I love about it is that it's

450
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 6: it has a wireless charger, and mine came with the

451
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 6: wireless charger. Is that included in the price?

452
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 1: Okay?

453
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 6: And I wasn't really sure I was going to use

454
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 6: a wireless charger, but boy is it nice. The paper

455
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 6: white signature edition does not come with a wireless charger,

456
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 6: but it only runs about twenty eight bucks. And I

457
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 6: would suggest that I also got mine with a leather

458
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 6: cover because I found that the leather actually lasts longer

459
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 6: than the other covers for it. Okay, So overall, I

460
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 6: love the thing, particularly the battery life. It's got a

461
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 6: little smaller footprint than the Oasis because although it's got

462
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 6: a seven inch screen, it doesn't have the page turning

463
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 6: buttons on the side.

464
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, but no Kindle does anymore.

465
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, no Kindle. Basically, like I said, this is a

466
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 6: signature edition, paper white with a color screen.

467
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: Okay, but here's my question. Here's my question about it

468
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 1: because I've seen it in person, but I haven't spent

469
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: a long amount of time with it. The text on

470
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: the screen. Is it just as readable as the non

471
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: color kindles.

472
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 6: That's a tough question because I haven't put them side

473
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 6: by side. I think it certainly works for me. Okay,

474
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 6: the background of the page isn't exactly white. It's kind

475
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 6: of a semi cream color, so I don't care for

476
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 6: that quite as much, but I find it very readable.

477
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 6: I guess the big question is would you rather just

478
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 6: have a paper white signature edition or spend an extra

479
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 6: eighty to one hundred dollars for having a couple of

480
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 6: color features right and having.

481
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: That color book on the front the cover. I mean,

482
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: it's nice. It's not necessary per se, but certainly not

483
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: and if you read anything like a comic book or

484
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 1: a graphic novel, this would definitely be a good choice.

485
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: But it sounds like you're pretty happy with it, reading

486
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: two hours a day.

487
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 6: I'm very happy with it. I like every time a

488
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 6: new kindle comes out, except for this scribe. It didn't

489
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 6: buy that too big a screen, and I wasn't planning

490
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 6: on writing anything on it. But I buy the latest

491
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 6: thing that comes out, and then I give my old kindle,

492
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 6: usually to my wife, but she's got a paper white,

493
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 6: and she's perfectly happy with it.

494
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, and I'm looking at the pricing, so right now,

495
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: it's at two hundred and seventy nine dollars according to

496
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: Camel Camel Camel. The cheapest it's been is two hundred

497
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 1: and twenty five dollars. So my advice don't buy this

498
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: right now because Prime Day is coming up on July eighth.

499
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: Put it in your car and I can guarantee well,

500
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: I can't guarantee you, but I can imagine that this

501
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: will probably go on sale. The target price we're looking

502
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 1: at is two hundred and twenty five dollars or less,

503
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: which would be pretty good.

504
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 6: That's a very good suggestion.

505
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know the kindle paper white will also

506
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: be on sale as well. I'm guessing that's that's at

507
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 1: one fifty nine right now. And let's see how much

508
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: it's gone down to according to this Camel Camel Camel, Well.

509
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 6: The one fifty nine ninety nine is the basic model. Oh,

510
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 6: the one nine ninety nine is a signat tradition, and

511
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 6: what that has is that has wireless charging.

512
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: Okay, and that's also with ads. So if you want

513
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 1: no locksdown, you don't want the ad another twenty bucks,

514
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: but that has gone down to as low as one thirty.

515
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: So again, Oh, these things do go on sale. Of course,

516
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: it's Amazon. It's Prime Day. They're going to put their

517
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: own products on sale. Typically they put the older products

518
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: on sale, like maybe the last generation of these things.

519
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,959
Speaker 1: But we'll see. I mean they sell a lot of kindles,

520
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: all right, Paul. What kind of books do you like

521
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: to read?

522
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 6: I have a wide variety, everything from nonfiction to fiction,

523
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 6: mostly fiction I got. I got started in twenty thirteen

524
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 6: when I spent a good deal of time in the

525
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 6: hospital after a dog bite, and I asked some of

526
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 6: my younger friends what should I do. I can't stand

527
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 6: daytime television, so they said, get yourself a paper white

528
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 6: and read The Hunger Games. I've been hooked ever since.

529
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 6: I've read hundreds of books on it.

530
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's amazing.

531
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 6: I like young adult fiction. I like science fiction. My

532
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 6: favorite book of all time is probably Where the Crawdads Sing?

533
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 5: Oh Wow?

534
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: Did you watch the Netflix movie?

535
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 6: I did not. I don't watch the movies after I

536
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 6: read the books.

537
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, the book is always better, as they say,

538
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: it always is, all right, Paul, Thanks so much for

539
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,480

543
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,360

Speaker 1: with Jim a couple of years ago, back when you

Speaker 5: Yeah, first time caller, longtime listener. Welcome. You were talking

561
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 5: about Microsoft reward points. I use those and I can

562
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 5: vert them the Amazon gift cards. Yeah, Mike, you don't

563
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 5: need it.

564
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.

565
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 5: Anyways, my question was, I'll be driving around in.

566
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: The car.

567
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 5: I want to remember, or I'll be listening to a

568
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 5: cast or something, and I don't want to pick up

569
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 5: the phone to send myself a reminder and sworn if

570
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 5: you knew of an Apple Car Play app, or if

571
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 5: I could text myself. If there's some way that without

572
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 5: picking up my phone to send myself a.

573
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: Message, Yes, there is, And I do this all the

574
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: time the way that I do it. Now, do you

575
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: wear an Apple Watch or no?

576
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 5: I do?

577
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: Now? Oh you do? Okay, well, okay, I'll tell you

578
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: the absolute best way. It is called Whisper memos. And

579
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: I've got this downloaded to my phone and then it's

580
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: got a little tiny they call them a complication on

581
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: your Apple Watch. And when I'm in the car, you

582
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: know I do not I advocate against using your phone

583
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: in the car. This is just one tap on your

584
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: wrist when you're safe, and you tap it and it

585
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: starts recording and it uses AI to figure out what

586
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: you're saying and so on the way over here, I

587
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: always think of things that I want to say on

588
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: the show, and so I will tap it, and I'm

589
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: not kidding. It is so good, so good that so

590
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: you just.

591
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 5: Tapped a little thing on the side, or you tap

592
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 5: the face.

593
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: Of it, or you tap you add what's called the complication,

594
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: so it'll be it looks like a little almost like

595
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: a little wave form on your watch, and so you

596
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: tap that, it will it will bring up the app

597
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: and immediately start recording. That's the trick of this whole

598
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: thing is that it's one tap. You're not sitting there fumbling,

599
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: you're not trying to do voice commands. And then what

600
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: happens is, this is the best part. Whatever you say

601
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: gets transcribed and then email to you. So half the time,

602
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: but by the time I'm done driving home or whatever

603
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: I'm doing, I've forgotten that I even took a note.

604
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: And then I get home, I go, oh, there's my note.

605
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: And then the other thing, Jim, if you're listening to

606
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: the radio or a podcast or an audiobook, you can

607
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: use it to remember little tidbits from those things. And

608
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: so I've got a whole bunch of things, Like I'm

609
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: listening to a book right now, This person says something interesting,

610
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: I'll just rewind for a second and then record on

611
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: my watch and again it's all it's all very safe

612
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: because it's it's just one tap on your watch and

613
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: you're not really distracted in that in that movement obviously you.

614
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 5: So it'll just listen to whatever audio is going on

615
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 5: in the car, be it me or the podcast or whatever.

616
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's it's really good, like it is. It

617
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: is probably like, honestly, I don't even want to share

618
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: it with you because it's that good. It's my secret weapon.

619
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: Like I'm not kidding. It's it's like my wife's grandma

620
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: used to have. I don't know if you remember this,

621
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: but they used to have like a notepad that would

622
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: like suction cup to the windshield and you can like

623
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: write down notes while you're driving, because that's the kind

624
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: of people they were. It's the digital version of that.

625
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: And it's so good that I just feel like I'm

626
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: like living in the future because I'm like, this is

627
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: so like I didn't have this a couple of years ago,

628
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: and now I do. Now.

629
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 5: That sounds perfect because that's what I end up pulling

630
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 5: over sometimes or I'll try to remember and I'll email

631
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 5: myself or whatever.

632
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, so if it does it that magically, Yeah, there

633
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: is a you know, you can also do the thing

634
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: with Siri. You can say, you know, take a note

635
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: or create a note, or you can say a reminder.

636
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: But the problem is twofold number one. That's going to

637
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: go into your reminders, into your notes. You're going to

638
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: forget about it immediately. That's number one. Number two, Siri

639
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: is not very good at transcribing things, especially when it's complicated.

640
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: So you're just not going to get the quality experience

641
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: that you're going to get with this app. So again,

642
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: it's called whispermeemos dot com. There will be I think

643
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: there's a free level of service, but you'll probably have

644
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: to pay. I think I pay thirty dollars a year

645
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: for this. But when I tell you this is completely

646
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: worth it is one hundred percent worth it.

647
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 5: The other service, I've tried the notes thing and like,

648
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 5: you get third in there and I forget about it.

649
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: Yes, it's lost. The other thing I'll tell you since

650
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: we're talking about this, is the other one I like

651
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: is called email me, and it does have a it

652
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: does have an Apple Watch complication as well. But the

653
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: difference with that is I mean, I guess you could

654
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: use it in the same way. I just feel like

655
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: it's a little bit more complicated to use on the go.

656
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: So on your phone, I do have it on my

657
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: home screen, but on my watch, I prefer the Whisper

658
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,959
Speaker 1: Memos just because it's so good that I just try it.

659
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: Just download it and try it.

660
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 5: No, I will.

661
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

662
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 5: I switched from the Fitted to the Apple Watch a

663
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 5: couple of months ago, so I'm still learning it. And

664
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 5: I don't know anything about the complications, so that's something

665
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 5: else I should beget to it.

666
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, So if you just go into your watch app

667
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: on your phone, you can you know, you can find

668
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: those complications. All right, Jim, thanks so much for coming on.

669
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 5: Perfect Thanks good to hear from you, and you bye bye.

670
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: All right. I mentioned I was at the doctor. You know,

671
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with my heart for some reason. That's just

672
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: the way I am. I've done one of those calcium

673
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: scans yesterday. I'm at the doctor. I'm like, hey, can

674
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,719
Speaker 1: you run a clusterol test? Why not? It's just I

675
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: feel like the heart is this thing that is very

676
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: important in our lives, right, I mean, that's the way

677
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: I feel. But if you ever feel tightness in your chest,

678
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: maybe a skipped beat, shortness of breath, it could be nothing,

679
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: could be something more serious. But let's face it, we're

680
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: not going to run to the doctor every time, and

681
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: that's where tech comes in. So let me tell you

682
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: about the Cardia Mobile six CEL. That's Cardia Mobile six L.

683
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: This is the most advanced personal EKG you can get.

684
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: It is FDA cleared to detect aphib one of the

685
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: leading causes of stroke, and this thing is legit. It

686
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: gives you six views of your heart compared to just

687
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: one from most of the smart watches out there. That's

688
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: six times the data and in just thirty seconds, right

689
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: on your phone. Now, as someone who tests a lot

690
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: of health tech, I can tell you this beats anything

691
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 1: I've seen that's built into a wearable because it's compact,

692
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: it's accurate. It gives you peace of mind at home,

693
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: while you're traveling or between doctor visits. Here's the best part.

694
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: It's just a fraction of the cost of a smart watch.

695
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 1: All you have to do is put your two fingers

696
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: on the sides and you can take your reading. If

697
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: you want the more precise reading, you put one of

698
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: the one of the corners on your ankle. It is

699
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: very easy. You don't feel anything, doesn't you know, it

700
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 1: doesn't feel weird or anything like that. It's very very easy.

701
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: For a limited time, my listeners get ten percent off.

702
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: Just go to Cardia dot com. That it's ka r

703
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: DA dot com. Or you can search Amazon and use

704
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: code ten six L Rich. That's the number ten six

705
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: L Rich Cardia. Great little gadget. All right, Uh, coming up,

706
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: I've got to tell you about this anchor recall. You

707
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: might be saying, Rich, you just told me about that

708
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: anchor recall last week. No, there's a new one. If

709
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: you can believe it. Anchor is recalling five more power

710
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: banks over battery safety. I will tell you how to

711
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: identify those and what to look for and what you

712
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: get if you have one eighty eight rich one O

713
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: one eighty eight seven four to two four to one

714
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: zero one back after this. Welcome back to rich on Tech.

715
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you talking technology at

716
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 1: eight eight eight Rich one O one eight eight eight

717
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one. We'll get

718
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: to the phone lines in just a second, but I

719
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: want to get you up to date on this new

720
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: Anchor recall, and the first one annoyed me, and this

721
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: one is now disappointing me because many many tech folks,

722
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: including myself have recommended Anchor products over the years, and

723
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: now they're recalling an additional five power banks in addition

724
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: to the one I told you about last week. So

725
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: if you have one of these, do not use it.

726
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: They say it's a small risk of fire or overheating,

727
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 1: but it's still a risk, and this is a global

728
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: voluntary recall. Five models the Anchor power Bank Model A one, two,

729
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: five seven, the Anchor Power Bank with built in USBC

730
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: cable Model A sixteen forty seven, Anchor Mago Power Bank,

731
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: Model A sixteen fifty two, Anchor Zolo Power Bank Model

732
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: A sixteen eighty one, Anchor Zolo Power Bank with built

733
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: in USBC cable Model A sixteen eighty nine. If you

734
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: have one of these, you got to check the model

735
00:36:58,080 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: number on the back or the side of your device.

736
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: Then you can verify the serial number online. Anchor is

737
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: offering a replacement or a gift card if your unit

738
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: is affected. You can go to the website rich on

739
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: Tech dot tv for the link. It is Anchor dot

740
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: com slash r C two five o six. Anchor dot

741
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: Com slash r C two five o six. Make sure

742
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: that you check the serial number if you have an

743
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: anchor power bank they want you to bring. You can't

744
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 1: just throw this in the trash. By the way, I

745
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 1: keep adding a tea to that Household Hazardous Waste Center.

746
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: And I know that's a lot of information, a lot

747
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: of recalls. I will put that on the website. Rich

748
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: on tech dot TV. Uh, let's see Naomi is at

749
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: our wits end with Yahoo. What's happened in Naomi?

750
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 7: Oh my god?

751
00:37:55,160 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 8: A few months ago, I guess Yahoo did did a update?

752
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 3: Yes, And all.

753
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 8: Of a sudden, the email is all mixed up. We're

754
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 8: not getting things in email, I mean, and then sometimes

755
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 8: things people will say, oh, but you know, I sent

756
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 8: that like three days ago, and then sometimes it will

757
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 8: eventually show up, but mostly it doesn't. I'm looking at

758
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:28,760
Speaker 8: the at the email now, so we've got June twenty seventh,

759
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 8: but I know that things have been sent today, not received.

760
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 8: There's nothing there. And it goes back from from yesterday

761
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,439
Speaker 8: to June fourteenth. Then all of a sudden, it goes

762
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 8: back to September of twenty four then.

763
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,760
Speaker 1: Hang on, hang on twenty three. What are you using

764
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: to access this email?

765
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 7: Me?

766
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 1: Yahoo like mail dot Yahoo dot com. Yeah, okay, And

767
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,879
Speaker 1: so you're saying, are you out of storage by any

768
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: chance on this email?

769
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 8: I don't think so, because it's not just a matter

770
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 8: of not getting anything but the things then some things

771
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 8: have ended up in the trash that were never put

772
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 8: in the trash, things that were sent, you know, like

773
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 8: somebody sends something. Instead of it going into the inbox,

774
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 8: it goes into the trash.

775
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, okay, well that's it's just.

776
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 2: It's a mess.

777
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 8: It's all mixed up.

778
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: Okay.

779
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 8: And it says if you scroll down to the end,

780
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,919
Speaker 8: it says, looking for older messages, try checking the old tab. Yeah,

781
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 8: I've done that. It makes no difference. Well there, we're

782
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 8: not getting nothing's coming through.

783
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,240
Speaker 1: So if I send you an email, you're not receiving it. Correct, Okay,

784
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: all right. It sounds to me that it sounds like

785
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: you have reached your storage limit. Perhaps on your email

786
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: it looks like okay, So what I would do is

787
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: in Yahoo Mail click settings more settings, and then it'll

788
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: show you how much storage you're using on the bottom

789
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: left side of the settings page. That is what I

790
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: would check Number one first. Now, the file of the

791
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: emails not being sent or received. That's a problem because obviously,

792
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: if you're using the web version of Yahoo Mail, there

793
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 1: shouldn't be any reason why that would be happening except

794
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: for the fact that you're over your storage and it's

795
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 1: just stopped working. That's the only thing I can think

796
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: of on that aspect of things. When it comes to

797
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: things going into different folders or the trash or spam,

798
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: I mean, that's pretty common. I would check to see

799
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: if you have any filters set up on your Yahoo

800
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: Mail that would be routing that email into the trash.

801
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: It could be coming from someone that you blocked at

802
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: some point. It could be you set up a filter

803
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: and it's now just finding that email and it's going

804
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 1: into that area. So I would check the filters as well.

805
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:57,919
Speaker 1: I would also go through and just look for big

806
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: attachments on your emails, and you can delete a couple

807
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: of those and hopefully free up some storage space. But

808
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: I have not heard of a widespread Yahoo Email issue

809
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: with it not working. I mean, millions upon millions of

810
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: people use Yahoo Mail. I know it's not perfect. Believe me,

811
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm not sitting there. I'm not sitting here, you know,

812
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 1: defending them. And they did do a giant redesign of

813
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,240
Speaker 1: their mail, and they're also doing AI now in their email,

814
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: and so all of these things could be coming together

815
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 1: for a perfect storm, Naomi, and that's what's causing some

816
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: of these little issues. But it sounds like the things

817
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: that you're describing, a lot of it may have to

818
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: do with the storage, a lot of it may have

819
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: to do with filters, a lot of it may have

820
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,839
Speaker 1: to do with the spam filtering. And so I think

821
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, the main thing that

822
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: you want to work on your email is that when

823
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: you send me an email, it goes through, and when

824
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: I send you an email, it goes through. So you

825
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: need to figure out why that aspect of your Yahoo

826
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: mail is not working. And that is the number one

827
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: priority right now. So I check the storage, see if

828
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: you're over your limit that number one, and then you

829
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: can begin to figure out all these other little pieces.

830
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 1: But I feel your frustration. I get it. I understand

831
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: sometimes these things seem really tricky and tough, but then

832
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: it's something that's very simple that is happening. And believe me,

833
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 1: I've found. I go into my spam now on a

834
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 1: regular basis, I'm on Gmail and I go in my

835
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: spam all the time. And I'm right here actually looking

836
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: at my spam and someone that just heard us talking

837
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: about something on the show sent me an email and

838
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: it just went right to my spam. And by the way,

839
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: it came from a Yahoo email address. So I don't know.

840
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:41,439
Speaker 1: Maybe there's some conspiracy theory, but that's the way. That's

841
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: the way it happens sometimes. Good question. Hopefully you get

842
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 1: that figured out, Naomi, keep me posted, send me an

843
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,760
Speaker 1: email if you can, and tell me if it works.

844
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: We may not have Bobo for the rest of the show.

845
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: I think he just just lost it. I'm being serious,

846
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: you know. If she can send me an email here

847
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 1: hello at richontech dot TV. If it doesn't come through, Naomi,

848
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: I will check on you in a couple of days.

849
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: Was dirty one am I favor? Hey, rich I'm having

850
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: a problem with my email. I can't send my email. Well,

851
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: send me an email. Let me know how it's going.

852
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 1: What's she gonna do? Send me a smoke signal? I mean,

853
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: come on, she's got to send an email. Go to

854
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: the website. Rich On tech dot TV. You can submit.

855
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: That's why I give people options on the website. They

856
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: can send a direct email or maybe if your email

857
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: is not working, you can use the form. Samsung getting

858
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: ready to show off their foldables July ninth, that's when

859
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: we are going to see the new foldables that they

860
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: have in store. I cannot believe it's been a year

861
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: since I went to Paris last year and saw the

862
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 1: last foldables. Now we've got the fold seven, expected to

863
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:56,359
Speaker 1: be thinner than last year, external screen wider, thankfully, that's

864
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: the main thing. This needed camera could get an upgrade

865
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: to two hundred megapixels, a first for a foldable. Then

866
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: you've got the z Flip seven, larger three point six

867
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 1: inch cover display outside wrapped around the camera lens. And

868
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 1: you know, the big thing about these is that Samsung

869
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: keeps keeps teasing the idea of this ultra foldable. So

870
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: they came out with that Galaxy Edge, which had the

871
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: ultra kind of camera, right that two hundred megapixel camera.

872
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: Now they're hinting at an ultra foldable. They're really getting

873
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:28,800
Speaker 1: a lot of mileage out of this two hundred megapixel

874
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: camera lens, that's for sure. But the idea is that, look,

875
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: you don't have to make sacrifices. You choose the form

876
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 1: factor that you want, and you can still have a

877
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 1: really good experience on this phone. So again, foldables have

878
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: not gotten a ton of traction. Here in the US,

879
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 1: it's growing, but it's a very small percentage of what

880
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,439
Speaker 1: Samsung does. And in the rest of the world they're

881
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 1: pretty popular because you've got so many options from all

882
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,839
Speaker 1: these different brands. But here in the US, you've got

883
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: either Google or Samsung. That's it. And the Samsung ones

884
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 1: have been good, but they haven't been great as an alternative.

885
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: Like if you're someone like me who wants a lot

886
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: out of their phone, the foldable is great, but only

887
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: in a couple of aspects, not all aspects. And so

888
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens July ninth. This is happening in Brooklyn,

889
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: New York. And you know these are gonna be expensive.

890
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 1: Foldables are still very, very pricey. That's the main drawback

891
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:28,359
Speaker 1: to them is that they are not cheap. We're going

892
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: to break. I got a okay, we're gonna we're gonna Okay,

893
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:33,879
Speaker 1: before we go to break, let me tell you about

894
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: this real quick spectrum raising prices on TV and internet,

895
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:43,720
Speaker 1: according to Cordcuttersnews dot com, two dollars a month price

896
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:47,760
Speaker 1: hike for Legacy Internet plans, five dollars a month increase

897
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 1: on Spectrum select TV plans. Spectrum says rising costs and

898
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 1: infrastructure and network maintenance is what they need to pay for.

899
00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:00,320
Speaker 1: That's why. Let's see they had a three dollar apparently

900
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,959
Speaker 1: monthly price increase earlier this year. I don't know about

901
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:04,359
Speaker 1: that one. I can't remember that one.

902
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 5: Uh.

903
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,399
Speaker 1: But they also added a new perk Hulu, so I'll

904
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: tell you about that when we come up after break,

905
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:13,959
Speaker 1: but price changes take effect after July twenty twenty five.

906
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: Don't be surprised if you see that two dollars five

907
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 1: dollars on your bill. Eighty eight rich one O one

Speaker 1: me these things are wild. I am seeing more and

917
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:57,279

00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 1: link and it doesn't just bring you to a malicious website,

919
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: It actually downloads a malicious file to your computer directly.

920
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 1: I mean, that is wild. That is something that I've

00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 9: Know if you can help me or I need to

927
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:32,959
Speaker 9: call an exorcist.

928
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,760
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I love it already. What's happening?

929
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 7: Okay?

930
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 9: So I am in an Alexa freak. I listened to

931
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 9: all my radio you, especially on my Alexak the other day.

932
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 9: All of a sudden, she starts talking to me in

933
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 9: a very low voice. I had to put my ear

934
00:47:55,520 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 9: close to the echo to hear her. It was some

935
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 9: woman who was doing some writing. She was talking about

936
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 9: what she was going to write and how she was

937
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:12,479
Speaker 9: going to punctuate it, and I tried to listen. Of course,

938
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 9: I called my husband over. He thought it might have

939
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 9: been the lady that might have died in the house

940
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 9: before we bought it off. And I'm wondering, had you

941
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:30,800
Speaker 9: ever heard of these alexas maybe picking up some bluetooths

942
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 9: stuff from someone else's home, or information of somebody else talking.

943
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: I have not looking up hold on, I got to

944
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: search how to exorcist an alexa? You know this is

945
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 1: a new one to me. Now here's the thing. I

946
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 1: have heard stories about these echo speakers going a little

947
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 1: nutty and people hearing things from them. How certain are

948
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,320
Speaker 1: you that you heard or something coming out of the

949
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 1: speaker and not somewhere else around the house or another source.

950
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 9: You know, this is very weird, Rich, because now I'm

951
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 9: losing you. So now I'm really scared.

952
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, how long have you had this echo?

953
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:18,280
Speaker 6: Oh?

954
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,400
Speaker 9: This is an old one. I've had this one probably

955
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 9: for maybe eight or nine years. I've got all the

956
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 9: new ones too, but this is the old tower one,

957
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 9: the very first one that I got, and and so

958
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 9: it's been it's been a while.

959
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:36,760
Speaker 1: So you would you would consider it an old soul?

960
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 7: Uh?

961
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: Oh, do we lose her? Do we lose Bonnie? Well,

962
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: here's the deal. Bonnie I'm concerned. I am if your

963
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: if your device is kind of acting a little odd.

964
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess my solution would be to do

965
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: a factory reset. But personally, I mean, I mean, unless

966
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 1: you're not scared of this thing, I would I would

967
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:06,919
Speaker 1: see if it happens again. And you know, I will

968
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: tell you these speakers that listen all the time, they

969
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 1: do kind of have some interesting and odd reactions to

970
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 1: things that happen in your home. So the sort of

971
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 1: sane solution, or I guess explanation would be that it

972
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:26,240
Speaker 1: heard it thought it heard a keyword, you know, like alexa,

973
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 1: and it activated and it played something that was some

974
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: sort of audio that you heard, whether it was a podcast,

975
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 1: whether it was a radio show, whether it was some

976
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 1: piece of audio or information. That is my guess. Maybe

977
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: you were talking about ghost stories in your home. Maybe

978
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 1: you're talking about something related, and it fired up a

979
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 1: podcast about that, and people on that podcast were talking

980
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 1: very quietly about that. That's sort of the logical explanation.

981
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 1: The other side of me says, get this thing out

982
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 1: of your house with a long stick and and literally

983
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 1: bury it. That's that's that's the other side of me

984
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 1: telling you I mean like make sure, like pull the

985
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 1: power plug. I would pull out the insides. Whatever you

986
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: can do to make sure this thing does not come

987
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:15,719
Speaker 1: back to life. You've had it for nine years. I

988
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:20,880
Speaker 1: think that's a pretty long run. But yeah, I mean

989
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: the other thing you do is just see if it

990
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: happens again. You know, you don't have to do you

991
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 1: have to go that extreme. You just see if it

992
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:31,280
Speaker 1: happens again. Oh my gosh, what's happening here? What is

993
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 1: what is? Oh my gosh? Okay eight to eight rich

994
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 1: one on one eight eight eight seven four to two

995
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 1: four one zero one. Yeah, these things, I'm telling you

996
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 1: these speakers last night house. Actually, I was trying to

997
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: use my Google you know, I was like, hey Google,

998
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 1: and it kept I had my phone right in front

999
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 1: of me, and it kept firing the speaker that was

1000
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: like ten twenty feet away, and so I kept getting

1001
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: closer closer to my phone. I'm like, hey Google, and

1002
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 1: it just kept doing the speaker for the response. I'm like,

1003
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: this is insane, like what is happening here? But I

1004
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 1: did something kind of wild. I pulled out an old

1005
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 1: Pixel eight pro which has been sitting collecting dust for

1006
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: you know, probably a year and a half. Now, let's

1007
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 1: see when did that? When did Pixel Pixel eight pro

1008
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 1: launch date? Release dates? Let's see when that came out

1009
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: October twelfth, twenty twenty three. Fired it up, turned it on,

1010
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 1: did the software update? The thing still works perfectly. Don't

1011
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 1: get rid of your old phone unless you have a

1012
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: reason to upgrade. These things last for effort. All right,

1013
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 1: coming up, we're going to talk about some of the

1014
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 1: most annoying things people do online and with technology. Right here,

1015
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 1: I'm rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech.

1016
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:52,360
Speaker 1: Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you, talking technology. Just

1017
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 1: taking a look at the emails we're getting today. Not

1018
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,720
Speaker 1: one from Naomi yet, but I think she's still working

1019
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 1: on that. We've we've heard of exorcists. I mean apparently

1020
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:08,799
Speaker 1: exorcists is like there's stuff taking over email, stuff taking

1021
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: over the Alexas. I don't know what's happening here today,

1022
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,359
Speaker 1: but we have a fun topic right now. We've got

1023
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:19,839
Speaker 1: Mark yarn from executive features editor for PC mag Mark,

1024
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show.

1025
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:22,800
Speaker 4: Thanks Rich thanks for having me on.

1026
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:26,959
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. So you recently wrote an article about tech etiquette,

1027
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 1: and this is one of my biggest pet peeves. I've

1028
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 1: been covering technology for a long time. I'm sure some

1029
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:35,360
Speaker 1: people think that I'm rude sometimes I'm looking at my

1030
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: phone whatever, But I've got a lot of thoughts on

1031
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,800
Speaker 1: what other people do. And what was your biggest finding

1032
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: about Number one, device snooping, Well.

1033
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:51,400
Speaker 2: Device snooping was interestingly, we surveyed two thousand adults in

1034
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 2: the US, and ninety two percent of them said it

1035
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 2: was unacceptable to snoop on a friend or a family

1036
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 2: member's device. But that goes down to eighty four percent

1037
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,799
Speaker 2: when you're talking about a partner's device. So there's there's

1038
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 2: obviously slightly different sets of rules for some people when

1039
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:11,800
Speaker 2: it when it comes to a lover as opposed to

1040
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 2: a loved one, I suppose, and then even more granular,

1041
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,879
Speaker 2: one in four millennials think it's acceptable to snoop through

1042
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 2: a partner's device. So that's like, you know, twenty five

1043
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 2: percent of millennials think it's okay, oh wow.

1044
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 1: So that yeah, they so basically all if you're what

1045
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 1: is a millennial, I don't even know, is that like

1046
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 1: what what ages?

1047
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 2: Let's say slightly yeah, they're probably in their thirty slightly

1048
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 2: older than I'm Gen X, But they're slightly older than

1049
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 2: when gen Z, so they're the generation up.

1050
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 4: So oh thank you, thank you.

1051
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 1: Yes, so right in that things that would be acceptable,

1052
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:54,880
Speaker 1: right like okay, answer my phone, do this whatever, airing

1053
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 1: like your pin code with your you know, your spouse

1054
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: or whatever. I think I think you are giving up

1055
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 1: a level of privacy because you know that they can

1056
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 1: access your phone. But I think the assumption for some

1057
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 1: people would be that you're only going to use that

1058
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:13,320
Speaker 1: for the things that would be acceptable, right like okay,

1059
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:16,399
Speaker 1: answer my phone, do this whatever, not just like full

1060
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 1: on look through my phone.

1061
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 2: I mean I would I would guess that would be

1062
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 2: the hopeful arrangement between two people to two adults.

1063
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 4: But you never know, you never know.

1064
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I think some of it speaks to I mean,

1065
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 2: you know, I talked to a couple of etiquette experts

1066
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 2: for this article that was based on the survey we

1067
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:37,839
Speaker 2: did and which you can be at a PC mag

1068
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 2: dot com and what people are you know. What the

1069
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 2: etiquette experts seem to say was that you know, I mean,

1070
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 2: obviously you probably your family and friends, you've known them

1071
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:50,880
Speaker 2: for a lot longer, perhaps than you're your current person

1072
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 2: you're dating, so they're a little more sacrosanct as far

1073
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,439
Speaker 2: as looking through their device. You know, we've all heard

1074
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 2: the horror dating horror stories and people having you know,

1075
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 2: cheating and having multiple partners you know which is which

1076
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 2: is fine, but not in a non consenting way. So

1077
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:12,920
Speaker 2: you know, I think there's a level and a plus.

1078
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 4: This is somebody you don't know.

1079
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 1: What about kids though, I mean, if you have a kid,

1080
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:19,160
Speaker 1: don't you think it's tell.

1081
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 4: Them, Oh, you're not gonna tell.

1082
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,879
Speaker 1: No when I'm home alone. Oh my gosh, when I'm

1083
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 1: home alone all day long. My kids iPads. My kids,

1084
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 1: as long as they're under my roof, is his old

1085
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:34,479
Speaker 1: man to Hero. Now you're under my roof, you're under

1086
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 1: my rules.

1087
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, as long as there's that understanding, I tell them, Oh,

1088
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:42,240
Speaker 4: you're not gonna tell.

1089
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:45,000
Speaker 1: No when I'm home alone. Oh my gosh, when I'm

1090
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:49,360
Speaker 1: home alone all day long. My kids iPads are going

1091
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:51,839
Speaker 1: off with all these texts they're in. You know, these

1092
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 1: kids are in group chats with their entire class at school.

1093
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's a whole different world than when

1094
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 1: I was growing up, right Like for me, I was

1095
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:03,799
Speaker 1: just wondering what all the cool kids were doing. Now

1096
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:05,719
Speaker 1: they're all texting in a group chat.

1097
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 2: For half, about fifty of US adults say that sending

1098
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:14,800
Speaker 2: and receiving a text or email written by chat gypt

1099
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 2: or another generative AI is unacceptable. So that's about you know,

1100
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 2: a little over half. But millennials and Gen z are

1101
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 2: far more accepting that. They're a little more than half

1102
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 2: of them think that it is okay. We're using chat

1103
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 2: ept and you know text.

1104
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 5: By chat.

1105
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 10: Uh.

1106
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 4: They've they've latched.

1107
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 2: Onto it, especially since their school age, and probably can

1108
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 2: get away with, you know, or maybe not get away

1109
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 2: with writing their papers.

1110
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 1: Let's let's don't write your papers with that. So I

1111
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:54,080
Speaker 1: I've started doing this, So I use chatch ebt as

1112
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 1: my co pilot for a lot of things, and I

1113
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:58,920
Speaker 1: get a lot of emails from people. But what I

1114
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 1: found is I can say, I use like voice to text,

1115
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 1: and I will say what I want to as my

1116
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 1: high and then chat chip just polishes it up and

1117
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 1: it like makes it sound a lot nicer than me

1118
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 1: saying yeah, toggle that switch off on your computer. Like

1119
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 1: I can just say that, and chat chibt will say,

1120
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 1: like thanks for writing, and then it'll say what I

1121
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 1: said and just put it into a nicer format. So

1122
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 1: to me, it's just polishing. It's just like a better

1123
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 1: version of me, right, Like, I'm sure quick.

1124
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 4: You're outsourcing your plate.

1125
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 1: In this basically yeah, pretty much. When it gets too flowery,

1126
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 1: When it gets too flowery, I'm like, no, chat chi

1127
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 1: t Like, let's make that I'm not that nice bobo nos, Okay, then.

1128
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 2: What about I'm sorry, I just wanted to add. But

1129
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 2: the thing with this is obviously we've only you know,

1130
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 2: had generative AI really in the popular conscioustes for a

1131
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 2: couple of years. Now in within you know, five years,

1132
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 2: ten years, you know this this could be skewed, Like

1133
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 2: you know, eighty percent people think it's okay. I mean

1134
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 2: if if you're like on the run and something and

1135
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 2: I get it, well, I would object. I'm a writer,

1136
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 2: so I object to anyone using chat GPT to pump

1137
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 2: up your prose.

1138
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 1: But Mark, I ran your article through through our CHATCHYBT

1139
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 1: checker and it was like nine percent CHATTYBT. No, I'm

1140
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 1: just kidding. Oh my god, but you heard that story

1141
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 1: of that writer who you know, so many writers are

1142
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:27,920
Speaker 1: using this that they're not fact checking, and it's like

1143
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 1: it's a problem. I mean, CHATBT says things that are

1144
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 1: true and not true in the same exact way, and you,

1145
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 1: if you don't know any better, take it as truth.

1146
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:39,680
Speaker 1: And that's the problem with all these things. So you

1147
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: got to be very careful. All right, phone, you story

1148
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:46,040
Speaker 1: in a conversation? What about that? Like you know, I

1149
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 1: see this all the time, someone's telling a story and

1150
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:49,840
Speaker 1: the person just looking at their phone.

1151
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 4: Right, are you looking at your phone?

1152
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 2: I can't see you, Okay, looking at you consideration.

1153
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:58,480
Speaker 4: I appreciate that. Well, oh there you are.

1154
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 2: So seventy five percent of US adults say this is unacceptable,

1155
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 2: but as you would expect, gen Z find it is okay.

1156
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 2: And that's because they're like digital natives. This is like

1157
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:16,320
Speaker 2: digital first, like you know, obviously, and I don't like

1158
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:20,040
Speaker 2: to paint gen Z with a broadbrush or anything, but

1159
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 2: you know, they're generation infamous for not like wanting to

1160
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 2: actually pick up the phone and talk to anyone. So

1161
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 2: texting is like a more immediate way of that.

1162
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I'm.

1163
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 1: Talking to someone. This is when they're talking to someone.

1164
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 1: So if you're at dinner, yeah, you're.

1165
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 2: At dinner and you're texting, that's ridiculous. Like I I've

1166
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:39,560
Speaker 2: probably been guilty of that one. I'm not gen z,

1167
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 2: but I've been guilty of that one myself, with much

1168
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 2: to the chagran in my wife.

1169
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, okay, here's here's here's another side of this.

1170
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:50,720
Speaker 1: This is my biggest pet peeve. When I'm talking to

1171
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 1: someone and I understand we have smart watches, but it's

1172
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:56,320
Speaker 1: like you're literally getting a message on your smart watch

1173
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 1: and you're looking at it the whole time, like every

1174
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 1: ten seconds while I'm talking you. I'm sorry, but if

1175
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm talking to you, I want your attention. That's the bottom.

1176
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:06,640
Speaker 4: N No, I don't blame you. I don't blame you.

1177
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 4: The watch thing.

1178
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like you can do it like more immediately,

1179
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:15,080
Speaker 2: and mean I wouldn't say surreptitiously because it's pretty obvious

1180
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 2: what you're doing. But there's less, there's less I have

1181
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 2: to at least pick up the phone from the table,

1182
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 2: and you know, with the wrist, I just I can

1183
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:25,360
Speaker 2: just flick it and then there it is.

1184
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 1: So what I do is I just say to the oh, yeah,

1185
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 1: I'll just say I'll wait, That's what I say. I

1186
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 1: just look at them right in the eyes, I go,

1187
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 1: oh wait, and it's you know, it's just I mean,

1188
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 1: obviously depends who it is. I probably wouldn't do that

1189
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:39,560
Speaker 1: with my boss, but like you know what I mean,

1190
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 1: like it, it depends who the person is if you

1191
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 1: have a good relationship with them. And here's the thing.

1192
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 1: We are human. We are supposed to connect as humans,

1193
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 1: and I really believe that, especially in this world of

1194
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 1: like oversaturation with social media and flipping through TikTok and

1195
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:54,640
Speaker 1: all this nonsense that people do on a daily basis,

1196
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 1: when you are with another human, give that human the

1197
01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 1: respect of being there with them, because that is probably

1198
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: the most magical part of life we have left. Like

1199
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:06,120
Speaker 1: everything else is just like you know, AI generated stuff

1200
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 1: everywhere you go. So when you're with a human, give

1201
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 1: the respect to that human. All right. Finally, speakerphone usage.

1202
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 1: This is another one. You see people talking on their

1203
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 1: phone or listening to music just out and about.

1204
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:23,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, eighty two percent of people find that

1205
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 2: playing music out loud without headphones such should be the

1206
01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:31,400
Speaker 2: point we make here, which is just rude, you know,

1207
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 2: is unacceptable. I mean I live in New York City.

1208
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 2: I take the subway. There are people doing this all

1209
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 2: the time, you know, just keeping that. I mean, the

1210
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:42,880
Speaker 2: subway is probably not the harst or you've heard on

1211
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:46,400
Speaker 2: the on the local news, but it's it can definitely

1212
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 2: be irritating with somebody who's listening or speaking on speakerphone

1213
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 2: and about like you know, three quarters of people find

1214
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 2: this unacceptable for like doing FaceTime or a phone call

1215
01:02:56,240 --> 01:03:00,560
Speaker 2: on speakerphone and like the in the growth three store

1216
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:03,440
Speaker 2: or something. I find it highly annoying, but you know

1217
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 2: a quarter of the people don't see them to have

1218
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 2: a problem. I mean, obviously the rules are always changing

1219
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:10,960
Speaker 2: when you're the one doing the action usually, so like

1220
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:13,440
Speaker 2: if you do it, you might be annoyed by other

1221
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:17,120
Speaker 2: people doing it, but when you know you're the one,

1222
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 2: you know, it's just a minor inconvenience.

1223
01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 1: But for else around me, I've I've seen, like when

1224
01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 1: I'm out on a run, like some people will be

1225
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 1: driving by on their bike or riding by in their bike.

1226
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 1: They'll have like a boom box like on their bike,

1227
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 1: or they're on a hike and they just listen to

1228
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 1: their music out loud, and I'm kind of like, you know,

1229
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:35,400
Speaker 1: if you're just passing me, it's fine, but if we're

1230
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 1: like together the whole time, that's definitely not ideal. Mark.

1231
01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna leave it there. Mark y Arm at PCMag

Speaker 1: tiniest scratches. That's coming up right here are rich on Tech.

1241
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:09,120
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Eight eight eight rich

1242
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:12,520
Speaker 1: one oh one eight eight eight seven four to two

1243
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 1: four one zero one. If you have a question about technology,

1244
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:21,120
Speaker 1: give me a call. Lines are open. Let's go to

1245
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 1: Susie in Temecula. Susie, what's up? You're on with Rich Goody?

1246
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 11: So, Wendy are going to be traveling around in our

1247
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:35,520
Speaker 11: fifth will My boyfriend still works, but we need some

1248
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:39,200
Speaker 11: sort of a mobile internet that can go with us,

1249
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:42,560
Speaker 11: that has more power than your regular phone hot spot.

1250
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 1: Okay, whoa, oh, what's happening there? So you want you

1251
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 1: basically want a way to keep in touch in the

1252
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:51,800
Speaker 1: fifth wheel.

1253
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:52,920
Speaker 11: With the computer.

1254
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 1: Okay, but you don't you don't want to use your

1255
01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 1: phone's hot spot because I mean, it just it's not

1256
01:04:58,600 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 1: going to.

1257
01:04:58,880 --> 01:04:59,680
Speaker 7: Be enough power.

1258
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:02,920
Speaker 11: Okay, I don't know what the wording is, but we

1259
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 11: need something a little stronger.

1260
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:06,760
Speaker 1: Okay, Now what are you going to be doing with this?

1261
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:10,760
Speaker 1: What are you going to be doing with the internet.

1262
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 11: He's going to be working online on his work program.

1263
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well, look there's I mean, your hot spot.

1264
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:22,680
Speaker 1: Ninety nine percent of the time. If you're looking for

1265
01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:24,440
Speaker 1: the cheapest way to do this, hot spot is going

1266
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:26,200
Speaker 1: to be the cheapest, easiest way to do it. If

1267
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 1: you don't want to use that, and I would say,

1268
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 1: you know, I would say try the hot spot because

1269
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:37,560
Speaker 1: you'd be surprised how well they work nowadays, especially with

1270
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:40,440
Speaker 1: you know that the networks are really good, the signals

1271
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 1: are really good, the speeds are really good. So I

1272
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 1: would say, if you upgraded your plan on Verizon or

1273
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:48,600
Speaker 1: T Mobile AT and T to give you the most

1274
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 1: hot spot, like one hundred gigs, usually it's pretty good.

1275
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:54,520
Speaker 1: It works really well. Now, if you don't want to

1276
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 1: do that, what I'd recommend as an alternative is one

1277
01:05:57,600 --> 01:06:01,400
Speaker 1: of these five g home systems. So the two that

1278
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 1: I would look AT is from Verizon and also T Mobile.

1279
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 1: So Verizon is called five G Home Internet. T Mobile

1280
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 1: is Let's see, let's see what there's is called home

1281
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 1: Internet five G very simple similar. So what you do

1282
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:20,120
Speaker 1: is you buy this little box. It's basically a more

1283
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 1: powerful hot spot, so it grabs the cellular signal in

1284
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 1: from the air and then it broadcasts it out as

1285
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 1: a Wi Fi signal. So Verizon is you know, they're

1286
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 1: advertising pretty good prices on these things, and so you

1287
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 1: can get a really good price based on where you

1288
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 1: are and what you're doing, and there's no contracts or

1289
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 1: anything like that. So I would check to see Verizon.

1290
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 1: You have to check it at your home address see

1291
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:47,240
Speaker 1: if they offer it, and then you also have to

1292
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 1: check to see if you can use it in a

1293
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:53,240
Speaker 1: mobile setting. Back in the day, they weren't really allowing

1294
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:56,880
Speaker 1: people to do that. I think it's that's been lifted

1295
01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 1: a little bit. But just call them to make sure

1296
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 1: that if you using this around town and in different places,

1297
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:05,240
Speaker 1: they're not going to cut you off. But you've got

1298
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 1: basically very similar services. AT and T offers one. But

1299
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:12,360
Speaker 1: I would not recommend even looking into that because theirs

1300
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:16,040
Speaker 1: is in very very limited areas. T Mobile and Verizon

1301
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:18,640
Speaker 1: T Mobiles in the most. I would say Verizon's in

1302
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:20,600
Speaker 1: the second most, and then AT and T is like

1303
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 1: just barely there. So that for some reason they're only

1304
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:27,760
Speaker 1: offering it really where they don't have fiber Internet or

1305
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:30,040
Speaker 1: in places where they just I don't know why they're

1306
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 1: not just offering it everywhere, but I would look at

1307
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 1: those two, So you can go to T Mobile five

1308
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:37,720
Speaker 1: G Home Internet, Verizon five G Home Internet. And then

1309
01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 1: the third way obviously is Starlink, and that is satellite Internet.

1310
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 1: So Starlink is going to give you a connection no

1311
01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:48,000
Speaker 1: matter where you are in the US, as long as

1312
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 1: you have a clear view of the sky. It's probably

1313
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:53,480
Speaker 1: going to be your most expensive option out of all

1314
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:56,640
Speaker 1: of these. But they do have a new one called Rome,

1315
01:07:57,320 --> 01:08:00,440
Speaker 1: which is you know, you can connect anywhere while traveling.

1316
01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:03,760
Speaker 1: And so let's let's see how much that is. So

1317
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 1: if I go on their website, Yeah, so the the

1318
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:09,880
Speaker 1: just to get the equipment is going to be four

1319
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:14,480
Speaker 1: hundred dollars plus taxes, and then you're gonna pay Let's see,

1320
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:18,480
Speaker 1: looks like it's about fifty dollars a month for fifty gigabytes.

1321
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:20,519
Speaker 1: If you want unlimited, it's one hundred and sixty five

1322
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 1: a month, so you're talking four hundred dollars for the

1323
01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:27,839
Speaker 1: actual starlink Starlink Minikit fifty dollars a month for the service,

1324
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:30,439
Speaker 1: So that's the most expensive option, but it's gonna be

1325
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:32,959
Speaker 1: the most thorough, and it's gonna get you signal everywhere,

1326
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:39,000
Speaker 1: and it's probably gonna be the fastest. So again, just options, many,

1327
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:42,120
Speaker 1: many options here. Those are the three that i'd recommend hotspot.

1328
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:44,960
Speaker 1: Try that first. You'd be surprised. You'd be surprised if

1329
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 1: the hotspot works. The downside of all these things is

1330
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 1: let's see here, can I think of a downside? Not really.

1331
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:54,360
Speaker 1: As long as they allow you to go on the

1332
01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:56,840
Speaker 1: on the road with these things, you'll be fine and

1333
01:08:56,880 --> 01:09:00,000
Speaker 1: you can get that connection. The other thing is Amazon

1334
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:04,120
Speaker 1: On is set to start their satellite internet later this year.

1335
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 1: So at some point they said it's going to be

1336
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 1: by the end of the year. Now what does that

1337
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 1: mean exactly, We don't know. It could be one one

1338
01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:13,960
Speaker 1: plan by December, but I wouldn't look into that. But

1339
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 1: that's going to be called Project Kuiper, and that's going

1340
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:18,600
Speaker 1: to be launching later this year, so there's gonna be

1341
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:21,640
Speaker 1: a little little competition for Starlink towards the end of

1342
01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:24,040
Speaker 1: the year. Susie and Temecula, thanks so much for the

1343
01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:25,720
Speaker 1: call today. I appreciate it. I hope you have fun.

1344
01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:30,840
Speaker 1: They're out on the road Hurts now using AI to

1345
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:35,360
Speaker 1: scan your car for scratches. They've got AI damage scanners

1346
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:37,880
Speaker 1: at over one hundred major airports this year. They're rolling

1347
01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:40,840
Speaker 1: them out starting with Atlanta. This is from the blog

1348
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 1: view from the wing. Cars get scanned at return using

1349
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:47,920
Speaker 1: high tech UVI portals kind of like an MRI, but

1350
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:53,559
Speaker 1: for vehicles. Detects tiny issues, uneven tire wear, windshield hairline cracks,

1351
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:56,479
Speaker 1: small scuffs, so I think this is probably for the

1352
01:09:56,479 --> 01:09:59,559
Speaker 1: benefit of the car maintenance, but also they can bill

1353
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:02,400
Speaker 1: you if there's an issue. One customer got a four

1354
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:04,919
Speaker 1: hundred and forty dollars bill for a one inch scuff,

1355
01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:07,599
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty dollars for repairs, one hundred ninety

1356
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:12,040
Speaker 1: dollars in fees. Uh wow. Hertz is offering a small

1357
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:14,519
Speaker 1: discount if you pay first, but if you dispute the charge,

1358
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:19,760
Speaker 1: the clock keeps tipping ticking. That's amazing. Customers are being

1359
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:22,880
Speaker 1: caught off guard. Best advice take photos or video of

1360
01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:24,519
Speaker 1: your rental when you pick it up and you drop

1361
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:27,080
Speaker 1: it off. That is great advice. Eighty eight rich one

1362
01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 1: O one eighty eight seven four to two four one

1364
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:38,719
Speaker 1: on Tech Rich DeMuro here hang out with you talking

1365
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:42,240
Speaker 1: technology at triple eight rich one oh one. That's eight

1366
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:46,360
Speaker 1: eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

1367
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:52,120
Speaker 1: Coming up this hour, we've got Todd Weaver, founder and

1368
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 1: CEO of Purism. They are a mobile phone company that's

1369
01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:01,400
Speaker 1: making privacy first phones and they also make a phone

1370
01:11:01,479 --> 01:11:04,880
Speaker 1: completely in the US, so it'd be an interesting conversation

1371
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:08,960
Speaker 1: with Todd. Notice there was a Wall Street Journal article

1372
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:11,760
Speaker 1: about him as well, So making the rounds right now.

1373
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:14,280
Speaker 1: This was really interesting. I'll get to the phone lines

1374
01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:16,599
Speaker 1: in just a second here, but this was really interesting

1375
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:19,320
Speaker 1: and I think it's a reason why you got to

1376
01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:24,680
Speaker 1: be very careful about your phone. The spark Kitty is

1377
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:30,760
Speaker 1: malware that quietly steals photos from iPhones and Android devices.

1378
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:35,040
Speaker 1: It was delivered via malicious apps in Google Play, Apple

1379
01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:39,680
Speaker 1: App Store, and trojanized versions of TikTok. Now here's the

1380
01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 1: thing on Android, it used hidden code in apps on

1381
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:45,680
Speaker 1: iOS because you might be thinking, rich doesn't iOS have

1382
01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:48,320
Speaker 1: a closed, you know, app store that you know you

1383
01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:51,160
Speaker 1: can't just install anything on there. They went around that.

1384
01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:54,719
Speaker 1: So if your company you can get there's these little

1385
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:58,160
Speaker 1: there's a way that you can install apps on your employees'

1386
01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:03,280
Speaker 1: iPhones enterprise pro system, and they snuck that in through there.

1387
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:07,920
Speaker 1: So I mean the point is these hackers will figure

1388
01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 1: out ways of getting around all of the rules. And

1389
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:13,519
Speaker 1: so the reason I tell you this because I don't

1390
01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:17,120
Speaker 1: think you have this on your phone, but this software,

1391
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:21,760
Speaker 1: once it got on people's phones, it seeked out screenshots

1392
01:12:22,439 --> 01:12:27,320
Speaker 1: basically of anything that might be important sensitive information, financial information,

1393
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:32,519
Speaker 1: especially crypto wallet seed phrases. These are basically the backup

1394
01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 1: phrase that you use to get into your crypto wallet

1395
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:38,320
Speaker 1: and you have to save that in a safe place.

1396
01:12:38,320 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 1: What do most people do They take a screenshot of it. Well,

1397
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:43,160
Speaker 1: who would have thought that this app would come through

1398
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:46,719
Speaker 1: and look through all your pictures to try to find

1399
01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:51,960
Speaker 1: any of this information. So number one, only download apps

1400
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:54,120
Speaker 1: from trust to developers. Now, if you know what you're

1401
01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:57,679
Speaker 1: doing on Android, you know that you can sideload apps

1402
01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:01,080
Speaker 1: on there. You can sideload what's called an ape. I

1403
01:13:01,200 --> 01:13:03,360
Speaker 1: do it. I know other people do it, but it's

1404
01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:05,040
Speaker 1: something that you have to be very careful about if

1405
01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:07,160
Speaker 1: you don't know what you're doing. On iPhone, it's very

1406
01:13:07,200 --> 01:13:09,599
Speaker 1: tough to install an app that's outside the app store.

1407
01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:12,280
Speaker 1: But we've seen examples of apps in the app store

1408
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:14,720
Speaker 1: that are not so good. So be careful and then

1409
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:18,320
Speaker 1: review permissions carefully. And this is why your phone says this.

1410
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:21,240
Speaker 1: If you've noticed on both iPhone and Android, when you

1411
01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:24,559
Speaker 1: install an app that wants access to your photo library,

1412
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:28,200
Speaker 1: it now says access to all photos or access to

1413
01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:32,360
Speaker 1: limited photos. Now I get it. If you say limited photos,

1414
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:34,120
Speaker 1: it's a pain. Every time you want to feed a

1415
01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:37,000
Speaker 1: photo into that app, you have to press the photo

1416
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:39,519
Speaker 1: and select it. Versus some apps. You know, if you're

1417
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:41,960
Speaker 1: using a cloud backup back app, of course you want

1418
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:44,559
Speaker 1: to have access to all your photos. But the point

1419
01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:47,000
Speaker 1: is if you're using a random app. Let's say you

1420
01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:50,559
Speaker 1: download an app like an AI app that turns your

1421
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:52,800
Speaker 1: photo like it takes a picture of you and turns

1422
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:54,840
Speaker 1: it into like a clown or whatever you want. Right

1423
01:13:55,479 --> 01:13:58,519
Speaker 1: for that app, would I would use the option that

1424
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:01,880
Speaker 1: says allow limited app access to my photo library. You

1425
01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:03,920
Speaker 1: don't want it to have access to every picture in

1426
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:06,240
Speaker 1: your photo library. That's what these things can do. They

1427
01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:08,759
Speaker 1: can scan all of them. And we've heard about apps

1428
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:12,879
Speaker 1: scanning photo libraries for things like metadata and using that information.

1429
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:16,559
Speaker 1: So you have to be very, very careful about the

1430
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:18,519
Speaker 1: permissions you give on your phone. It used to be

1431
01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:20,639
Speaker 1: when an app was downloaded, it just had carte blanche.

1432
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:23,160
Speaker 1: It could do whatever it wanted. Now, if you notice,

1433
01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:26,200
Speaker 1: the operating systems are locking down apps more and more

1434
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:30,479
Speaker 1: to just be able to do certain things. Get your location, oh,

1435
01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:36,000
Speaker 1: precise location, approximate location, location all the time, just sometimes photos,

1436
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:40,840
Speaker 1: all photos, some photos, so all contacts, some contacts. There's

1437
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:44,040
Speaker 1: a reason behind the madness for all of this stuff.

1438
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:49,479
Speaker 1: Let's go to Mary in Winchester. Marry your on with rich.

1439
01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:53,760
Speaker 10: On Highrich thanks for taking my call. I hope that

1440
01:14:53,880 --> 01:14:55,439
Speaker 10: you don't have to done this down too much for me.

1441
01:14:55,479 --> 01:14:58,320
Speaker 10: I'm not super tech savvy, but I'm having an issue.

1442
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:03,160
Speaker 10: I just from an iPhone eight to the iPhone sixteen

1443
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:07,760
Speaker 10: and ever since then, I can't seem to connect the

1444
01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:08,439
Speaker 10: car play.

1445
01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:12,600
Speaker 1: Okay, Apple car Play in my car? What are you

1446
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:14,960
Speaker 1: using the same cable that you used to use.

1447
01:15:16,120 --> 01:15:18,760
Speaker 10: Yes, okay, well I no, I take that back. I'm

1448
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:21,639
Speaker 10: using the cable that now I don't have the lightning anymore.

1449
01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:24,519
Speaker 10: I used the one that goes to the sixteen.

1450
01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:28,639
Speaker 1: Okay. So you're the USB c correct? And where did

1451
01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:32,120
Speaker 1: you get the cable from Apple? Okay? So the one

1452
01:15:32,120 --> 01:15:33,400
Speaker 1: that came in the box.

1453
01:15:33,560 --> 01:15:36,040
Speaker 10: That iPhone, I mean, yeah, it's a phone, okay.

1454
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:39,519
Speaker 1: So and your car supports USBC. So you have a

1455
01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:41,960
Speaker 1: USBC on like the tiny one on one end, the

1456
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 1: tiny one on the other end.

1457
01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:47,240
Speaker 10: No, it's a us USB on one end, and then

1458
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:49,880
Speaker 10: the tiny USBC.

1459
01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:50,280
Speaker 7: On the Okay.

1460
01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 1: Now that didn't come with the phone though, Oh.

1461
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:55,960
Speaker 10: Okay, well it's one. It's one that I had on

1462
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:58,559
Speaker 10: my back. Okay, so my iPad and staff.

1463
01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:00,400
Speaker 1: That's what I wanted to know, Mary. So that is

1464
01:16:00,439 --> 01:16:05,280
Speaker 1: the problem. So in my experience, it is it's really

1465
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:09,400
Speaker 1: what year's your car? Just out of curiosity, that's twenty one, okay.

1466
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:11,920
Speaker 1: So here's what's happening. And I noticed this with my

1467
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:15,320
Speaker 1: wife's car and a couple other folks, a couple actually

1468
01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:16,840
Speaker 1: a bunch of people, a bunch of my friends and

1469
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:18,679
Speaker 1: family members all came to me, said Rich, I can't

1470
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:21,040
Speaker 1: get car play to work. And I said, hold on,

1471
01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:23,920
Speaker 1: let me let me swap out the cable. And the

1472
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:28,680
Speaker 1: reason is the cars were created years ago before USBC,

1473
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:32,760
Speaker 1: so they're using USBA and then the phones are using USBC. Now,

1474
01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:35,479
Speaker 1: typically you would think that that would work, no problem,

1475
01:16:35,560 --> 01:16:40,360
Speaker 1: but for some reason, only certain cables work with these

1476
01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:43,800
Speaker 1: with this connection. So a couple of recommendations. If you

1477
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:48,120
Speaker 1: don't mind spending let's see how much is it nineteen dollars,

1478
01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:53,400
Speaker 1: you can buy the official Beat USBA to USBC cable

1479
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:56,679
Speaker 1: and that will almost ninety nine point nine percent work

1480
01:16:56,800 --> 01:17:01,320
Speaker 1: in this situation. Okay, that's okay. From Apple, it's the

1481
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 1: Beats USBC USBA to USBC woven short cable eight inches.

1482
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:08,960
Speaker 1: It's basically meant for CarPlay.

1483
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 10: Okay, okay, So that's apparently that's not what I've been using.

1484
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:15,800
Speaker 10: Is that certain brand.

1485
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:19,120
Speaker 1: Right, you've just been using? The problem is, what I've

1486
01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:23,479
Speaker 1: noticed is the cable matters. When you're going USBA to

1487
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:27,240
Speaker 1: USBC for CarPlay, the cable makes a difference. I don't

1488
01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:29,639
Speaker 1: know what the deal is, but I can take five

1489
01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:32,879
Speaker 1: cables into your car and out of all those five cables.

1490
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:35,400
Speaker 1: Even though they all do the same thing, only two

1491
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:36,960
Speaker 1: will actually power CarPlay.

1492
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:40,400
Speaker 10: And so that is so going to the Apple store

1493
01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:42,360
Speaker 10: and getting that cable will help me.

1494
01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:45,320
Speaker 1: I think that'll solve your problems. I already know from

1495
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:48,519
Speaker 1: a listener that called in and had the same problem,

1496
01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:51,680
Speaker 1: or actually someone emailed me. We did a couple of troubleshooting.

1497
01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:53,680
Speaker 1: They had the same issue. And if you don't want

1498
01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:55,640
Speaker 1: to go into the store, I've got a cable on

1499
01:17:55,680 --> 01:17:58,760
Speaker 1: Amazon that will do the same thing. It's sixteen ninety

1500
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:03,559
Speaker 1: nine and it's USBC to USBA and it's a coiled cable,

1501
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:07,320
Speaker 1: but you get two in that in that price. So

1502
01:18:07,760 --> 01:18:10,000
Speaker 1: I would say personally, if you have an Apple store nearby,

1503
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:11,800
Speaker 1: you could just easily go in and get this one.

1504
01:18:11,880 --> 01:18:14,240
Speaker 1: It's it's gonna work. If it doesn't work, you can

1505
01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:17,320
Speaker 1: return it, no big deal. You've got fourteen days. But

1506
01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:19,439
Speaker 1: that is that's the problem, Mary, and I think it's

1507
01:18:19,479 --> 01:18:21,960
Speaker 1: going to solve all your problems. Well not all, I

1508
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:29,559
Speaker 1: mean just the car Play problems. Does that work for you? Okay?

1509
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:32,120
Speaker 1: Well I think we I think well, I think my

1510
01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:34,640
Speaker 1: job is done. What are the chances that we have

1511
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:38,639
Speaker 1: two people from Winchester California. Right now, we have another

1512
01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:43,360
Speaker 1: caller from Winchester. Anyway, this is the thing. So with this,

1513
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:48,160
Speaker 1: with this whole USBA to USBC transition. If you got

1514
01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:50,160
Speaker 1: a car, car play has been working just fine. You

1515
01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 1: get the new iPhone. You try the same cable, it

1516
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:55,200
Speaker 1: doesn't work. You're sitting there pulling your hair out. It's

1517
01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:57,519
Speaker 1: a different cable. Go to your house, look at all

1518
01:18:57,560 --> 01:18:59,920
Speaker 1: the cables you have that are USBA to USB c

1519
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:03,479
Speaker 1: and try them. If none of them work, you might

1520
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:05,439
Speaker 1: have to buy a new cable. But that is really

1521
01:19:05,520 --> 01:19:08,360
Speaker 1: it's just this weird thing that some of the older

1522
01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:11,479
Speaker 1: cars just don't like to play friendly with these new phones.

1523
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:16,360
Speaker 1: Let's see here, we got an email from Paul says, Hey, Rich,

1524
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:18,760
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed the podcast. Can you please tell me

1525
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:23,080
Speaker 1: what model High Sense TV you have? Thanks Paul, Paul,

1526
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:25,240
Speaker 1: I have I have to check in my email here.

1527
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:30,080
Speaker 1: I have the High Sense you eight and I will

1528
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:31,680
Speaker 1: tell you how much I paid for it if I

1529
01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:35,040
Speaker 1: can find that email. High Sense U E. I'm not kidding.

1530
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:39,040
Speaker 1: I ordered this thing off Best Buy in an afternoon

1531
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:43,559
Speaker 1: and it was in my house set up within two hours.

1532
01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:47,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I could not believe how fast. This was

1533
01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:51,840
Speaker 1: since se and you know how tough it is to

1534
01:19:51,880 --> 01:19:53,360
Speaker 1: type and talk on the radio at the same time.

1535
01:19:53,400 --> 01:19:56,240
Speaker 1: It is impossible. Let me just see if I can

1536
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:59,920
Speaker 1: find it High Sense Okay, trying to find my order

1537
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,360
Speaker 1: from Best Buy. Okay, here it is. I ordered it. Oh,

1538
01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:06,360
Speaker 1: I ordered it for Super Bowl Sunday. How stereotypical of me. Yeah,

1539
01:20:06,400 --> 01:20:08,280
Speaker 1: I got it in time for Super Bowl Sunday. High

1540
01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:10,920
Speaker 1: Sense UA looks like I paid what I paid, eight

1541
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:13,639
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety nine bucks for this thing, So it's

1542
01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:17,080
Speaker 1: still on sale. It's right now ninety nine. That may

1543
01:20:17,120 --> 01:20:19,120
Speaker 1: be cheaper over Prime Day. You can get it in

1544
01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:21,040
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of sizes. I went with sixty five,

1545
01:20:21,080 --> 01:20:23,840
Speaker 1: you can go seventy five. But apparently they have a

1546
01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:26,840
Speaker 1: newer version of this TV, so Paul, if you're looking

1547
01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:28,559
Speaker 1: to buy this, you might want to look into the

1548
01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:32,920
Speaker 1: new version, which is the High Sense UA N What

1549
01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:38,840
Speaker 1: does END stand for New, New and improved? But the

1550
01:20:38,880 --> 01:20:40,960
Speaker 1: one I have is just perfect. In fact, last night

1551
01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:44,360
Speaker 1: when we sat down to watch TV, it runs Google TV,

1552
01:20:44,479 --> 01:20:47,280
Speaker 1: which I really like, and it said, oh, you got

1553
01:20:47,280 --> 01:20:50,679
Speaker 1: a software update all these new features. So even a phone,

1554
01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:53,960
Speaker 1: a TV that's a year old still getting new features,

1555
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:58,080
Speaker 1: which is pretty cool. And the Google software it's good

1556
01:20:58,160 --> 01:21:01,559
Speaker 1: enough for IM not running a separate streaming device with

1557
01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:04,200
Speaker 1: this TV, so it's pretty good. And they just added

1558
01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:05,760
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of new stuff which makes it even

1559
01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:09,720
Speaker 1: better anyway. High Sense you eight is the one that

01:21:34,360 --> 01:21:39,240
Speaker 1: your glasses, just update them. You can listen to live

1568
01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:43,240
Speaker 1: local stations, playlists, podcasts, all hands free, all on the go.

1569
01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:47,240
Speaker 1: Works on iOS and Android. You just have to make

1570
01:21:47,280 --> 01:21:49,839
Speaker 1: sure that you update your glasses and do a quick setup.

1571
01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:52,320
Speaker 1: You have to go into the options and make sure

1572
01:21:52,400 --> 01:21:56,440
Speaker 1: iHeart is your default app for music and radio voice searches.

1573
01:21:57,080 --> 01:21:59,479
Speaker 1: So kind of cool. I have not tested this just yet.

1574
01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:02,280
Speaker 1: I've got my ray bandmetas to test it out. But

1575
01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:05,160
Speaker 1: it's the only audio app. There's a bunch of audio

1576
01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:08,000
Speaker 1: apps available on the ray bandmetas like you can use

1577
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:10,920
Speaker 1: Spotify or Amazon Music or whatever, but this is the

1578
01:22:10,920 --> 01:22:13,960
Speaker 1: only one that gives you live radio stations. So kind

1579
01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:17,160
Speaker 1: of cool, kind of awesome. These glasses are, I would say,

1580
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:19,880
Speaker 1: the sleeper hit of twenty twenty four or wait, what

1581
01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 1: year is it? No, twenty twenty five, twenty twenty five?

1582
01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:27,200
Speaker 1: Where am I? And they just did Oakley So now

1583
01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:30,200
Speaker 1: they have the Oakley's and the Metas. But I was

1584
01:22:30,240 --> 01:22:34,160
Speaker 1: in Mexico and at that electronics show I was talking

1585
01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:36,640
Speaker 1: to this guy who makes another brand of these glasses.

1586
01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:41,240
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I gotta remember the name of them, but

1587
01:22:41,320 --> 01:22:44,719
Speaker 1: they I think they were called It's a funny name.

1588
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:49,160
Speaker 1: I get D dot com. I get D dot com

1589
01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:52,880
Speaker 1: and they're get D glasses. But they basically have a

1590
01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:55,400
Speaker 1: lot of these features in them, a lot of the

1591
01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:57,880
Speaker 1: CHATCHYBT and stuff like that built in. They don't have

1592
01:22:57,920 --> 01:23:00,120
Speaker 1: a camera. But he's telling me he's selling four four

1593
01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:02,599
Speaker 1: hundred pairs of them a day in the Mexico market,

1594
01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:05,639
Speaker 1: four hundred a day, So people, these smart glasses are

1595
01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:09,240
Speaker 1: really really They're hot. All right. Now, let's go to

1596
01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:11,559
Speaker 1: Oscar and Winchester. Oscar you've got a bone to pick

1597
01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:11,840
Speaker 1: with me.

1598
01:23:11,960 --> 01:23:14,680
Speaker 7: Huh, well sort of.

1599
01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:16,880
Speaker 9: Uh.

1600
01:23:17,479 --> 01:23:20,760
Speaker 7: First thing, do you have a phone number for Microsoft

1601
01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:26,599
Speaker 7: like support? Oh gosh, that I can get help with

1602
01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:27,559
Speaker 7: without Look.

1603
01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:31,639
Speaker 1: I mean there are there are. Let's see if they

1604
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:35,400
Speaker 1: have a I mean it says contact, but it looks

1605
01:23:35,439 --> 01:23:37,000
Speaker 1: like I don't have it. I don't think they put

1606
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:39,040
Speaker 1: a phone number on their website per se that I

1607
01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:44,639
Speaker 1: can find really quickly. Yeah, I'm looking, but I don't.

1608
01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:46,240
Speaker 1: I don't see that it's like one of these.

1609
01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:50,479
Speaker 7: If I contact them through those contacts, it would probably

1610
01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:53,640
Speaker 7: they would probably send me an email response.

1611
01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:54,040
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1612
01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:55,720
Speaker 1: I don't really see a phone number. And you got

1613
01:23:55,720 --> 01:23:59,360
Speaker 1: to be very careful because all those Tech support phone numbers,

1614
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:01,280
Speaker 1: like if you just go will that you would get

1615
01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:02,960
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of phone numbers. You do not want

1616
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:04,200
Speaker 1: to call those numbers.

1617
01:24:03,840 --> 01:24:05,160
Speaker 7: So get to the wrong play.

1618
01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:07,760
Speaker 1: I know that they will scam you.

1619
01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:12,919
Speaker 7: Let me update you on on the revo On install

1620
01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:16,720
Speaker 7: that you gave me last week to remove the Outlook

1621
01:24:16,760 --> 01:24:21,120
Speaker 7: from my Windows ten system. Yes, uh, it didn't. It

1622
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:21,840
Speaker 7: didn't find.

1623
01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:22,720
Speaker 1: It didn't find.

1624
01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:27,200
Speaker 7: It didn't find the outlook. It found even in the

1625
01:24:27,240 --> 01:24:32,080
Speaker 7: Windows part of revo On installer. It pulled up all

1626
01:24:32,120 --> 01:24:36,800
Speaker 7: those Windows files, but no Outlook. Interesting okay, but all

1627
01:24:36,840 --> 01:24:39,400
Speaker 7: the all the apps that are there, it pulled all

1628
01:24:39,439 --> 01:24:40,280
Speaker 7: that stuff up.

1629
01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:42,679
Speaker 1: No Outlook now.

1630
01:24:42,880 --> 01:24:47,120
Speaker 7: I even I even used it on install co pilot,

1631
01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:50,720
Speaker 7: which was one of the things I saw in my

1632
01:24:50,720 --> 01:24:55,240
Speaker 7: my Outlook, and I figured I don't need co pilot

1633
01:24:56,000 --> 01:25:00,920
Speaker 7: on install. That still didn't help. But what is happening?

1634
01:25:01,920 --> 01:25:10,080
Speaker 7: The fonts on my Outlook are really large? And a

1635
01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:17,519
Speaker 7: Microsoft page has come up, a notification page saying your

1636
01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:21,920
Speaker 7: privacy matters, and it's you know, something to do that

1637
01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:25,880
Speaker 7: You've got to respond or click something on it. The

1638
01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:28,519
Speaker 7: whole page is not show, it's but half the page.

1639
01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:32,640
Speaker 7: It might screen, yeah, and so it covers all the information.

1640
01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:40,280
Speaker 7: If I refresh the screen, it goes away, but within

1641
01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:44,680
Speaker 7: three four seconds it comes right back up before you

1642
01:25:44,720 --> 01:25:46,200
Speaker 7: could do anything on the screen.

1643
01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:48,559
Speaker 1: Okay, so a couple of things we actually I actually

1644
01:25:48,680 --> 01:25:54,800
Speaker 1: got an email about your problem from James in north Chesterfield.

1645
01:25:55,320 --> 01:25:58,200
Speaker 1: He said, for the listener having issues with large fonts

1646
01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:02,040
Speaker 1: and Outlook before uninstalling anything, I would suggest closing Outlook

1647
01:26:02,680 --> 01:26:07,000
Speaker 1: launch it in safe mode by typing Outlook dot ex

1648
01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:10,559
Speaker 1: slash safe into the start box, and then if the

1649
01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:15,520
Speaker 1: issue is resolved, reset reset outlook to default within the program,

1650
01:26:16,200 --> 01:26:19,639
Speaker 1: And if you're inside the program, you can go into

1651
01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:24,200
Speaker 1: UH view and it says reset view and if you're

1652
01:26:24,240 --> 01:26:27,840
Speaker 1: using the newer outlook, it says advanced options and then

1653
01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:31,000
Speaker 1: reset under Windows setting. So that's number one. So I

1654
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:34,040
Speaker 1: would try that to see if that works. If you

1655
01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:36,680
Speaker 1: want to uninstall this and reinstall it, I actually have

1656
01:26:36,720 --> 01:26:38,000
Speaker 1: a new suggestion for you.

1657
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:39,040
Speaker 10: UH.

1658
01:26:39,080 --> 01:26:43,080
Speaker 1: The app is called b c Uninstaller. And now, because

1659
01:26:43,120 --> 01:26:46,000
Speaker 1: the first the revo didn't find it, I can't guarantee

1660
01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:48,400
Speaker 1: that this is going to find this app because it

1661
01:26:48,479 --> 01:26:50,760
Speaker 1: sounds like it's it's part of something bigger on your

1662
01:26:50,800 --> 01:26:56,080
Speaker 1: system or I'm just not sure. But this BC uninstaller

1663
01:26:56,120 --> 01:26:59,040
Speaker 1: dot com is a way to remove all kinds of

1664
01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:03,240
Speaker 1: unwanted applications quickly. So and this says it can uninstall

1665
01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:09,679
Speaker 1: basically everything, normally registered programs, hidden protected, all kinds of stuff.

1666
01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:11,839
Speaker 1: And by the way, this all comes from an article

1667
01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:14,840
Speaker 1: that I highly recommend you go to the website to

1668
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:17,400
Speaker 1: get the link for. It's from tech Spot. It's called

1669
01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:21,599
Speaker 1: essential Apps to Install on Windows and mac Os. They've

1670
01:27:21,640 --> 01:27:27,160
Speaker 1: got everything from web browsers password Manager, Productivity Alfred on

1671
01:27:27,320 --> 01:27:32,880
Speaker 1: Mac to everything for Windows, screenshot apps, how to back

1672
01:27:32,960 --> 01:27:36,600
Speaker 1: up well, they recommend back Blaze image editing if you

1673
01:27:36,600 --> 01:27:39,000
Speaker 1: want to see what's eating up your disk space, whiz

1674
01:27:39,080 --> 01:27:42,679
Speaker 1: Tree on Windows, Daisy Mac on Mac, Daisy Disc on Mac,

1675
01:27:43,760 --> 01:27:48,080
Speaker 1: Remote Desktop, Russ desk. Is it a good alternative to

1676
01:27:48,120 --> 01:27:51,360
Speaker 1: team viewer? And then to keep systems clean? Windows users

1677
01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:55,719
Speaker 1: can try bc uninstaller or portable CC Cleaner. Mac users

1678
01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:58,479
Speaker 1: can install app Cleaner. I'll put that link on my

1679
01:27:58,520 --> 01:28:01,680
Speaker 1: website rich on tech dot tv. Coming up, we're going

1680
01:28:01,760 --> 01:28:04,480
Speaker 1: to talk to Todd Weaver, founder and CEO of Purism,

1681
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:09,479
Speaker 1: making a privacy centric phone. Welcome back to rich on

1682
01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:12,840
Speaker 1: Tech rich DeMuro here hanging out with you, talking technology.

1683
01:28:13,160 --> 01:28:17,920
Speaker 1: The website for the show is rich on tech dot tv.

1684
01:28:18,040 --> 01:28:20,200
Speaker 1: There you can get links to everything I have talked

1685
01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:25,280
Speaker 1: about on today's show, including the Windows and Microso sorry,

1686
01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:27,800
Speaker 1: the Windows and Mac apps that I mentioned in that

1687
01:28:28,160 --> 01:28:31,280
Speaker 1: great tech spot list. I've got that on the website

1688
01:28:31,320 --> 01:28:34,200
Speaker 1: rich on tech dot tv. This is episode one seven,

1689
01:28:34,320 --> 01:28:36,919
Speaker 1: so if you just want to type in that keyword,

1690
01:28:36,960 --> 01:28:39,960
Speaker 1: it'll be bring up the show notes for everything I mentioned.

1691
01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:44,960
Speaker 1: Joining me now is Todd Weaver, founder and CEO of Purism.

1692
01:28:45,520 --> 01:28:50,320
Speaker 1: They are a company making phones and other devices that

1693
01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:53,400
Speaker 1: are privacy centric, and they also have a phone that's

1694
01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:55,680
Speaker 1: made in the USA, which I know is a hot

1695
01:28:55,720 --> 01:28:58,120
Speaker 1: topic right now. Todd, thanks for joining me.

1696
01:28:58,720 --> 01:28:59,679
Speaker 4: Hey, thanks for having me.

1697
01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:03,599
Speaker 1: So what's your background? What made you start this company? Oh?

1698
01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:06,040
Speaker 12: Man, A lot of things, but technology is a big thing.

1699
01:29:06,479 --> 01:29:10,120
Speaker 12: But then also you know, I really looked at digital

1700
01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:12,559
Speaker 12: rights and sort of where the trend lines were going

1701
01:29:12,600 --> 01:29:14,639
Speaker 12: with big tech, and so I actually built my entire

1702
01:29:14,680 --> 01:29:18,160
Speaker 12: company to avoid everything from the big tech companies. And

1703
01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:21,799
Speaker 12: you can imagine in today's world that that's a significant challenge.

1704
01:29:21,880 --> 01:29:25,920
Speaker 12: So from laptops, tablets, mini PCs to phones, and then

1705
01:29:25,920 --> 01:29:29,240
Speaker 12: I even you know, doing our electronic manufacturing here in

1706
01:29:29,439 --> 01:29:33,320
Speaker 12: the US for our Liberty phone, also including the operating

1707
01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:35,519
Speaker 12: system that's not Android. So these are a lot of

1708
01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:38,600
Speaker 12: challenges and so it's just you know, a passion and

1709
01:29:38,640 --> 01:29:42,360
Speaker 12: then also a care for your individual digital rights.

1710
01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:45,519
Speaker 1: So before we get into all these things that you're doing,

1711
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:48,080
Speaker 1: what do you think is the problem with the big

1712
01:29:48,120 --> 01:29:50,439
Speaker 1: tech companies and what you know? You've got iPhone. I

1713
01:29:50,479 --> 01:29:53,600
Speaker 1: mean I feel like Apple is probably better than Android,

1714
01:29:53,600 --> 01:29:55,759
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure, but you tell me your thoughts

1715
01:29:55,760 --> 01:29:57,559
Speaker 1: and all that stuff, like, are we really just being

1716
01:29:57,600 --> 01:29:58,519
Speaker 1: tracked with everything?

1717
01:29:59,280 --> 01:29:59,479
Speaker 4: Oh?

1718
01:29:59,560 --> 01:29:59,960
Speaker 1: For sure?

1719
01:30:00,600 --> 01:30:02,559
Speaker 12: I mean I think that the majority of people can

1720
01:30:02,600 --> 01:30:06,200
Speaker 12: appreciate that their digital footprint is something that is being

1721
01:30:06,240 --> 01:30:09,840
Speaker 12: tracked by big tech and monetized. Right, So this isn't

1722
01:30:09,920 --> 01:30:13,000
Speaker 12: something is fringe. The majority of people recognize this to

1723
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:15,080
Speaker 12: be the case. It's just that there isn't a convenient

1724
01:30:15,120 --> 01:30:17,599
Speaker 12: alternative that doesn't do those yet. And that's the thing

1725
01:30:17,640 --> 01:30:21,839
Speaker 12: that we're building. But when you're looking at Apple or Google,

1726
01:30:21,880 --> 01:30:24,200
Speaker 12: Apple just happens to have a better marketing, but they

1727
01:30:24,200 --> 01:30:28,360
Speaker 12: don't actually really solve the systemic problem of your data

1728
01:30:28,439 --> 01:30:30,759
Speaker 12: should be yours and you should be in complete control

1729
01:30:30,840 --> 01:30:35,200
Speaker 12: of it, and so all big tech companies are incentivized

1730
01:30:35,439 --> 01:30:39,360
Speaker 12: to track everything from your phone. Here's as a simple analogy.

1731
01:30:39,360 --> 01:30:41,920
Speaker 12: If you have an iPhone or any Android phone, and

1732
01:30:41,960 --> 01:30:44,040
Speaker 12: then you put our phone next to it, those first

1733
01:30:44,040 --> 01:30:48,080
Speaker 12: two in every major carrier and every major phone manufacturer,

1734
01:30:48,240 --> 01:30:50,680
Speaker 12: they leak about three to four gig of data in

1735
01:30:50,680 --> 01:30:56,480
Speaker 12: twenty four hours. It's all your personal information, your GPS, camera, role, microphone, calls, contacts,

1736
01:30:56,880 --> 01:30:59,680
Speaker 12: and our phone. It's exactly zero bits. So you're in

1737
01:30:59,720 --> 01:31:02,800
Speaker 12: co leak control of the entire device, which is why

1738
01:31:02,840 --> 01:31:06,639
Speaker 12: we had to start with manufacturing the hardware and authoring

1739
01:31:06,680 --> 01:31:09,400
Speaker 12: an entire operating system that's not attached to andle it.

1740
01:31:09,640 --> 01:31:13,240
Speaker 1: That's wild. And so your operating system is called pure OS.

1741
01:31:13,640 --> 01:31:14,519
Speaker 1: What does that run on?

1742
01:31:15,400 --> 01:31:16,599
Speaker 4: So it is a Linux kernel.

1743
01:31:16,640 --> 01:31:18,360
Speaker 12: And then this is sort of built on a you know,

1744
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:22,240
Speaker 12: decades of the entire industry. We've just invested tens of

1745
01:31:22,280 --> 01:31:26,759
Speaker 12: millions of dollars into that to create the entire mobile environment.

1746
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:29,200
Speaker 12: And so it's the same operating system that runs on

1747
01:31:29,240 --> 01:31:34,000
Speaker 12: our laptop, our tablet or MINIPC. And then we ported

1748
01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:35,680
Speaker 12: all of that to the phone so that we can

1749
01:31:35,720 --> 01:31:38,920
Speaker 12: actually provide a phone in that using the same operating system.

1750
01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:41,639
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Okay, so you've got a bunch of different devices,

1751
01:31:41,640 --> 01:31:44,920
Speaker 1: but specifically you have one phone, the Liberty phone, that

1752
01:31:45,080 --> 01:31:46,920
Speaker 1: is made in the USA. I know this has been

1753
01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:49,120
Speaker 1: a hot topic. It's been a lot of talk about

1754
01:31:49,160 --> 01:31:52,759
Speaker 1: whether they can manufacture an iPhone here in the US.

1755
01:31:53,160 --> 01:31:55,800
Speaker 1: You're doing it. Has it been a challenge?

1756
01:31:56,320 --> 01:31:57,879
Speaker 4: Oh, it's an unbelievable challenge.

1757
01:31:58,360 --> 01:31:58,439
Speaker 5: Right.

1758
01:31:58,560 --> 01:32:00,200
Speaker 12: Also, the other thing is that we actually of a

1759
01:32:00,280 --> 01:32:03,840
Speaker 12: qualified claim, So the FTC has very strict guidelines on

1760
01:32:03,920 --> 01:32:06,560
Speaker 12: what made in USA can be and what assembled in

1761
01:32:06,560 --> 01:32:08,360
Speaker 12: the US they can be. And so you think of

1762
01:32:08,400 --> 01:32:10,360
Speaker 12: this as these three tiers. So for us, we actually

1763
01:32:10,400 --> 01:32:13,040
Speaker 12: do made in USA electronics. That means that the entire

1764
01:32:13,479 --> 01:32:17,840
Speaker 12: inside electronics, the main board, all the components that go

1765
01:32:17,920 --> 01:32:21,600
Speaker 12: into it are of US supply, and then we manufacture

1766
01:32:21,640 --> 01:32:25,000
Speaker 12: that at our facility. But actually for us, the journey

1767
01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:28,280
Speaker 12: was kind of it was multi years, six years from

1768
01:32:28,320 --> 01:32:30,880
Speaker 12: start to finish. And for us, what we actually had

1769
01:32:30,880 --> 01:32:32,920
Speaker 12: to do was we did the our designs. These are

1770
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:37,640
Speaker 12: we called the ODM Original Design Manufacturer whereas Purism designs.

1771
01:32:37,960 --> 01:32:40,760
Speaker 12: Then we actually went to we did our dev kit

1772
01:32:41,240 --> 01:32:45,280
Speaker 12: first at our same facility just north of San Diego.

1773
01:32:45,680 --> 01:32:48,040
Speaker 12: Then we actually flew to China to do the initial

1774
01:32:48,080 --> 01:32:51,360
Speaker 12: contract manufacturing of a phone because that's where all phones

1775
01:32:51,400 --> 01:32:54,439
Speaker 12: are made, and that's called our Librung five and we

1776
01:32:54,479 --> 01:32:57,880
Speaker 12: put that out about twenty nineteen. Then we brought all

1777
01:32:57,920 --> 01:33:00,479
Speaker 12: that back to the US and then we did on

1778
01:33:00,520 --> 01:33:05,200
Speaker 12: our own SMT line that we can produce the actual

1779
01:33:05,240 --> 01:33:08,360
Speaker 12: electronics and then we do all the assembly. We do

1780
01:33:08,439 --> 01:33:11,400
Speaker 12: that at our facility and then we ship those out

1781
01:33:11,479 --> 01:33:13,880
Speaker 12: to you know, any customers who's buying direct.

1782
01:33:14,120 --> 01:33:15,320
Speaker 4: So that's a completely made in.

1783
01:33:15,280 --> 01:33:18,439
Speaker 12: The USA electronics because we still have to source some

1784
01:33:18,479 --> 01:33:22,120
Speaker 12: components outside of the US, but those are in small quantities.

1785
01:33:22,120 --> 01:33:24,760
Speaker 12: If you're looking at like a thousand total parts that

1786
01:33:24,800 --> 01:33:27,840
Speaker 12: go into a phone, you know, maybe ten percent are

1787
01:33:27,880 --> 01:33:31,200
Speaker 12: outside the US, with the super majority our components that

1788
01:33:31,240 --> 01:33:32,920
Speaker 12: are done in the US and we do all the

1789
01:33:32,920 --> 01:33:34,320
Speaker 12: manufacturing ourselves.

1790
01:33:34,880 --> 01:33:37,680
Speaker 1: So with this phone, this Liberty phone, it's got you know,

1791
01:33:37,720 --> 01:33:40,719
Speaker 1: your operating system on it. So can I download Android

1792
01:33:40,760 --> 01:33:42,960
Speaker 1: apps or what? You know? How am I limited in

1793
01:33:43,000 --> 01:33:44,479
Speaker 1: the apps that I can use? I see a bunch

1794
01:33:44,479 --> 01:33:46,200
Speaker 1: of them on the screen that looks like, you know,

1795
01:33:46,560 --> 01:33:48,479
Speaker 1: the stuff you're used to, like a phone dial er

1796
01:33:48,520 --> 01:33:51,040
Speaker 1: and a messaging app, Like can I use this like

1797
01:33:51,040 --> 01:33:52,000
Speaker 1: a regular phone?

1798
01:33:52,520 --> 01:33:55,040
Speaker 12: Yeah, So there's a what we call the app gap.

1799
01:33:55,120 --> 01:33:57,960
Speaker 12: So that's something that we're still continuously closing. But when

1800
01:33:57,960 --> 01:34:02,080
Speaker 12: you're looking at basic functionality calling, text, browser, calculator, music player,

1801
01:34:02,280 --> 01:34:04,679
Speaker 12: those types of things, they all work because we've invested

1802
01:34:04,680 --> 01:34:06,960
Speaker 12: the time and energy to make them happen. But when

1803
01:34:06,960 --> 01:34:14,720
Speaker 12: you're looking at the branded third party applications Snapchat, you know, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger.

1804
01:34:15,120 --> 01:34:20,519
Speaker 12: Those are produced by these big tech companies in and

1805
01:34:20,600 --> 01:34:23,840
Speaker 12: their applications clearly run on Android or iOS and they

1806
01:34:23,840 --> 01:34:26,400
Speaker 12: don't run in puros. But there's ways for us to

1807
01:34:26,439 --> 01:34:28,759
Speaker 12: close that app gap, and one of the primary ways

1808
01:34:29,040 --> 01:34:30,839
Speaker 12: is that if you can run it in the browser

1809
01:34:30,960 --> 01:34:34,759
Speaker 12: like Uber or LinkedIn or IMDb, those run just fine.

1810
01:34:34,880 --> 01:34:37,439
Speaker 12: But when you're getting to these third party name brands

1811
01:34:37,439 --> 01:34:40,559
Speaker 12: where they have a lot of functionality built natively in them,

1812
01:34:40,760 --> 01:34:43,920
Speaker 12: then we need to emulate those Android applications. And actually

1813
01:34:43,960 --> 01:34:46,520
Speaker 12: the way we do it is by running them in isolation,

1814
01:34:46,840 --> 01:34:49,200
Speaker 12: so they actually don't penetrate into all the things that

1815
01:34:49,240 --> 01:34:51,639
Speaker 12: you don't want them to, right, We sort of cut

1816
01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:54,040
Speaker 12: off the creepiness and then we are able to run

1817
01:34:54,080 --> 01:34:56,719
Speaker 12: those applications, but we don't have them all yet. That's

1818
01:34:56,800 --> 01:34:59,040
Speaker 12: what we call closing the app gap. And so it's

1819
01:34:59,080 --> 01:35:01,920
Speaker 12: a process for us. You know, number of apps is

1820
01:35:01,960 --> 01:35:04,400
Speaker 12: just momentum and time. We have plenty of momentum, so

1821
01:35:04,400 --> 01:35:06,639
Speaker 12: it's just a matter of time before we get those

1822
01:35:06,680 --> 01:35:10,360
Speaker 12: applications you need. And that kind of relates to use case. Right,

1823
01:35:10,439 --> 01:35:12,880
Speaker 12: there's a hand there's a bunch of people, millions of

1824
01:35:12,880 --> 01:35:15,800
Speaker 12: people that would like a basic phone that doesn't spy

1825
01:35:15,880 --> 01:35:21,559
Speaker 12: on them, and we already use case yeah, and so

1826
01:35:21,760 --> 01:35:23,080
Speaker 12: then and then you have a bunch of people that

1827
01:35:23,120 --> 01:35:24,840
Speaker 12: are like, no, I need Snapchat, and I need three

1828
01:35:24,880 --> 01:35:28,160
Speaker 12: cameras and I need a GPU for processing my video.

1829
01:35:28,400 --> 01:35:30,240
Speaker 12: But you know that's not the audience we're able to

1830
01:35:30,320 --> 01:35:32,240
Speaker 12: satisfy today with the hardware or software.

1831
01:35:32,280 --> 01:35:37,920
Speaker 1: Yet the price it's a it's starting a ninety nine dollars.

1832
01:35:38,760 --> 01:35:41,439
Speaker 1: You know, it's expensive. Do you feel like you can

1833
01:35:41,479 --> 01:35:42,960
Speaker 1: get that price down over time?

1834
01:35:43,800 --> 01:35:45,600
Speaker 12: Yes, we can. So there's a couple of ways that

1835
01:35:45,640 --> 01:35:48,360
Speaker 12: we did this. The first is we actually have a

1836
01:35:48,400 --> 01:35:50,800
Speaker 12: lead Rum five that we did our contract manufacturing out

1837
01:35:50,840 --> 01:35:53,360
Speaker 12: of China. That's a seven hundred ninety nine dollars phone.

1838
01:35:53,439 --> 01:35:56,200
Speaker 12: Our cost of goods is only about six hundred dollars

1839
01:35:56,200 --> 01:35:57,519
Speaker 12: for that, so we don't have a lot of margin

1840
01:35:57,600 --> 01:35:59,960
Speaker 12: on that, but that's sort of the lower cost version

1841
01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:02,720
Speaker 12: of our entire design. And then we brought that to

1842
01:36:02,760 --> 01:36:05,320
Speaker 12: the US. We only it's about a ten percent lift

1843
01:36:05,360 --> 01:36:07,280
Speaker 12: on our cost of goods, so it's about six hundred

1844
01:36:07,280 --> 01:36:09,840
Speaker 12: and fifty dollars to produce the US version. So you

1845
01:36:09,880 --> 01:36:12,360
Speaker 12: can see that the price point can come down even

1846
01:36:12,360 --> 01:36:15,920
Speaker 12: if we have with even retaining healthy margins. The reason

1847
01:36:15,960 --> 01:36:18,120
Speaker 12: that we sell it for nineteen ninety nine is because

1848
01:36:18,120 --> 01:36:20,479
Speaker 12: we sell half of it to the U to consumer

1849
01:36:20,560 --> 01:36:23,400
Speaker 12: and half to the US government, where we have additional

1850
01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:28,240
Speaker 12: layers of benefit, secure supply chain, making sure that all

1851
01:36:28,280 --> 01:36:32,080
Speaker 12: those components are able to be verified. We publish our

1852
01:36:32,320 --> 01:36:34,760
Speaker 12: bill of materials so that those can be verified. We

1853
01:36:34,800 --> 01:36:37,320
Speaker 12: publish all of our source code so that that can

1854
01:36:37,360 --> 01:36:39,280
Speaker 12: be verified. You can see with all of those things,

1855
01:36:39,320 --> 01:36:42,280
Speaker 12: that adds some overhead that's needed. So we sell at

1856
01:36:42,320 --> 01:36:45,519
Speaker 12: that higher price point. Once we get to volume, then

1857
01:36:45,520 --> 01:36:47,479
Speaker 12: we're able to lower that price point down. But that's

1858
01:36:47,720 --> 01:36:50,439
Speaker 12: the reason that we chose the higher margin play for that.

1859
01:36:50,560 --> 01:36:52,160
Speaker 12: And then I guess the last bit is we're the

1860
01:36:52,200 --> 01:36:55,520
Speaker 12: only phone where we where the Manu electronics are manufactured

1861
01:36:55,520 --> 01:36:57,840
Speaker 12: in the US, right, so that allows us to say, hey,

1862
01:36:57,840 --> 01:37:01,080
Speaker 12: we have market exclusivity. Let's put this a reasonable price

1863
01:37:01,280 --> 01:37:03,000
Speaker 12: to be able to fund all these other things that

1864
01:37:03,000 --> 01:37:03,439
Speaker 12: we're doing.

1865
01:37:03,720 --> 01:37:03,920
Speaker 5: Right.

1866
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:06,439
Speaker 1: Okay, so a couple things in the news. Obviously the

1867
01:37:06,920 --> 01:37:08,960
Speaker 1: iPhone being made in the US. Do you think that

1868
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:12,559
Speaker 1: could happen? And then Trump came out with Trump Mobile

1869
01:37:13,560 --> 01:37:15,040
Speaker 1: saying that they were going to have a phone made

1870
01:37:15,080 --> 01:37:16,960
Speaker 1: in the US. I think they've backtracked a little bit

1871
01:37:16,960 --> 01:37:19,839
Speaker 1: about that. But do you think those two things are possible?

1872
01:37:21,280 --> 01:37:24,240
Speaker 12: So the first one, when you're talking about Apple, I

1873
01:37:24,280 --> 01:37:26,479
Speaker 12: do think that, But let's also be clear, when you

1874
01:37:26,479 --> 01:37:29,240
Speaker 12: stay made in USA that has a very distinct all

1875
01:37:29,400 --> 01:37:32,880
Speaker 12: or virtually all has to be US of US origin now.

1876
01:37:32,920 --> 01:37:34,519
Speaker 12: And the other thing is Apple has to move a

1877
01:37:34,640 --> 01:37:37,200
Speaker 12: gigantic ball forward. Right, So when we did it, we're

1878
01:37:37,200 --> 01:37:40,040
Speaker 12: looking at tens of thousands of devices. When they're looking

1879
01:37:40,040 --> 01:37:41,920
Speaker 12: at it, they would be looking at a million per month.

1880
01:37:42,280 --> 01:37:44,479
Speaker 12: So to move that forward, they would really have to

1881
01:37:44,520 --> 01:37:49,000
Speaker 12: be incentivized significantly and over enough time to actually bring

1882
01:37:49,080 --> 01:37:52,640
Speaker 12: that to the US, such as I've even proposed, like

1883
01:37:52,680 --> 01:37:55,240
Speaker 12: if the tariffs can be very powerful, and if that's

1884
01:37:55,320 --> 01:37:57,400
Speaker 12: used as an incentive, it would have to be something

1885
01:37:57,479 --> 01:38:00,439
Speaker 12: like twenty five percent increase every year for ten year years,

1886
01:38:00,720 --> 01:38:02,760
Speaker 12: and then they could see, wow, that's something they could

1887
01:38:02,760 --> 01:38:05,559
Speaker 12: plan around. So then you can start seeing some of

1888
01:38:05,560 --> 01:38:07,400
Speaker 12: that reshorting. But getting to the point of a fully

1889
01:38:07,439 --> 01:38:09,599
Speaker 12: made in USA, it's going to take an awful lot

1890
01:38:09,680 --> 01:38:12,160
Speaker 12: more effort than just one company looking to move it

1891
01:38:12,240 --> 01:38:16,080
Speaker 12: here because the supply chain itself. Of all those components

1892
01:38:16,080 --> 01:38:19,160
Speaker 12: have to be done. Here, I'll highlight one point. Every

1893
01:38:19,160 --> 01:38:23,120
Speaker 12: phone except ours uses Qualcom or Media Tech chipsets.

1894
01:38:23,439 --> 01:38:24,759
Speaker 4: Those are not made in the US.

1895
01:38:25,280 --> 01:38:28,200
Speaker 12: The NXP CPU that we put in our phone is

1896
01:38:28,520 --> 01:38:31,760
Speaker 12: fabbed in Texas, So that's an example of having to

1897
01:38:31,840 --> 01:38:33,800
Speaker 12: choose a different chip set to actually put into a

1898
01:38:33,800 --> 01:38:36,599
Speaker 12: phone to make it happen. The last question you brought

1899
01:38:36,680 --> 01:38:39,559
Speaker 12: up is the Trump Mobile, which I've spoken quite a

1900
01:38:39,560 --> 01:38:42,559
Speaker 12: bit about. That phone in the current specs are Chinese made,

1901
01:38:43,080 --> 01:38:45,640
Speaker 12: and by calling them out a number of times on

1902
01:38:45,680 --> 01:38:50,920
Speaker 12: this issue, they've backtracked that to they've removed those claims, right,

1903
01:38:52,280 --> 01:38:54,280
Speaker 12: and that's wise of them. It would have been wiser

1904
01:38:54,320 --> 01:38:58,559
Speaker 12: for them to actually source a US made phone such

1905
01:38:58,600 --> 01:39:00,840
Speaker 12: as ours to be able to provide it, as opposed to,

1906
01:39:01,960 --> 01:39:04,360
Speaker 12: you know, putting just something up that was clearly going

1907
01:39:04,439 --> 01:39:05,439
Speaker 12: to be of Chinese origin.

1908
01:39:05,600 --> 01:39:05,800
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1909
01:39:05,800 --> 01:39:07,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I could say I'm not a deal maker,

1910
01:39:07,680 --> 01:39:10,240
Speaker 1: but I mean I'm saying, like, why not just partner

1911
01:39:10,240 --> 01:39:12,519
Speaker 1: with you? All Right, we've got less than a minute.

1912
01:39:12,600 --> 01:39:15,240
Speaker 1: How's business fantastic?

1913
01:39:15,479 --> 01:39:18,160
Speaker 12: We've actually been growing overall, been ten years in business,

1914
01:39:19,200 --> 01:39:21,360
Speaker 12: last two years have been profitable, so we've invested tens

1915
01:39:21,360 --> 01:39:24,360
Speaker 12: of millions of dollars thirty million total in revs, and

1916
01:39:24,760 --> 01:39:27,040
Speaker 12: you know have healthy margins, so continue to grow.

1917
01:39:27,000 --> 01:39:30,840
Speaker 1: All right, Todd Weaver fin very fascinating conversation, Thanks so

1918
01:39:30,920 --> 01:39:34,480
Speaker 1: much for coming on the show. Founder and CEO of Purism.

1919
01:39:34,800 --> 01:39:38,920
Speaker 1: They are doing privacy centric phones and phones made in

1920
01:39:38,960 --> 01:39:43,120
Speaker 1: the USA website p U r I dot SM. I'll

1921
01:39:43,120 --> 01:39:45,920
Speaker 1: put the link on my website. Rich on Tech dot

1922
01:39:45,960 --> 01:39:52,519
Speaker 1: TV feedback coming up next. Welcome back to rich on Tech.

1923
01:39:52,920 --> 01:39:54,960
Speaker 1: We're going to get right into it because we got

1924
01:39:54,960 --> 01:39:57,920
Speaker 1: a lot in the feedback. A couple of stories before

1925
01:39:57,920 --> 01:40:00,720
Speaker 1: we get to that. First, off At is going to

1926
01:40:00,720 --> 01:40:03,720
Speaker 1: pay one hundred and seventy seven million dollars in a

1927
01:40:03,800 --> 01:40:09,639
Speaker 1: data breach settlement. Two major data breaches that exposed customer information.

1928
01:40:09,720 --> 01:40:12,360
Speaker 1: The first was in March twenty twenty four, leaked names,

1929
01:40:12,439 --> 01:40:15,639
Speaker 1: birth dates, phone numbers, and socials of over seventy million people.

1930
01:40:16,320 --> 01:40:21,000
Speaker 1: Second breach involved call metadata. So there's two funds and

1931
01:40:21,160 --> 01:40:24,280
Speaker 1: basically you can file for both of them. Up to

1932
01:40:24,320 --> 01:40:28,160
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars for documented losses from identity theft for

1933
01:40:28,200 --> 01:40:31,120
Speaker 1: the first breach, twenty five hundred dollars for losses from

1934
01:40:31,439 --> 01:40:35,639
Speaker 1: the second breach. If you didn't document your losses, you'll

1935
01:40:35,680 --> 01:40:38,920
Speaker 1: just get a flat rate cash payment and the highest

1936
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:44,200
Speaker 1: payouts for those folks who have their socials exposed. But yeah,

1937
01:40:44,360 --> 01:40:47,560
Speaker 1: there's no reason. Claims have to be submitted by October seventeenth,

1938
01:40:47,680 --> 01:40:50,439
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, and the payout depends on how many

1939
01:40:50,479 --> 01:40:52,840
Speaker 1: valid claims. And they still have to finalize it, I

1940
01:40:52,880 --> 01:40:57,080
Speaker 1: believe in December, but oh yeah, here it is December sixteenth.

1941
01:40:57,280 --> 01:40:59,920
Speaker 1: So if you if you're part of this, notices will

1942
01:40:59,920 --> 01:41:02,360
Speaker 1: be sent out this summer. So be on the lookout

1943
01:41:02,400 --> 01:41:04,040
Speaker 1: if you get a notice about an AT and T

1944
01:41:04,120 --> 01:41:10,839
Speaker 1: settlement from Kroll Settlement Administration. That is legit. Spectrum TV customers,

1945
01:41:10,840 --> 01:41:13,360
Speaker 1: if you have Spectrum TV Select, you now get Hulu

1946
01:41:13,400 --> 01:41:16,599
Speaker 1: at no extra cost. Hulu with ads is now included

1947
01:41:16,680 --> 01:41:20,599
Speaker 1: in Spectrum TV Select. Let's see here, that and that.

1948
01:41:20,680 --> 01:41:24,120
Speaker 1: Now they've got so many streaming services included with Spectrum

1949
01:41:24,120 --> 01:41:29,759
Speaker 1: TV now Disney Plus, Hulu, Paramount, Max, Peacock, amc Vix.

1950
01:41:30,479 --> 01:41:34,200
Speaker 1: So it's all based on that Spectrum TV Select and

1951
01:41:34,240 --> 01:41:36,640
Speaker 1: it's all the stuff with ads. But you know, you

1952
01:41:36,640 --> 01:41:39,760
Speaker 1: can always upgrade if you don't want the ads. And

1953
01:41:39,800 --> 01:41:43,920
Speaker 1: then Ring is adding AI powered video descriptions to its alerts,

1954
01:41:44,280 --> 01:41:46,760
Speaker 1: so instead of just saying motion detected, AI is going

1955
01:41:46,800 --> 01:41:48,599
Speaker 1: to actually kind of look at the video and give

1956
01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:52,080
Speaker 1: you a much better description of what's happening in that alert,

1957
01:41:52,520 --> 01:41:55,760
Speaker 1: so you can kind of distinguish urgent things from just

1958
01:41:55,880 --> 01:41:59,920
Speaker 1: everyday activity. That's rolling out in beta for paying subscri

1959
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:03,600
Speaker 1: and it works with all current ring cameras and doorbells,

1960
01:42:03,640 --> 01:42:06,120
Speaker 1: so no need to upgrade your hardware for that. So

1961
01:42:06,160 --> 01:42:07,960
Speaker 1: instead of just saying motion alert, it's going to say

1962
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:10,280
Speaker 1: something like two people are peering into a car in

1963
01:42:10,320 --> 01:42:14,000
Speaker 1: the driveway, so very very specific. All right, Time for

1965
01:42:16,760 --> 01:42:18,920

Speaker 1: dot tv hit contact. Let's see Steve from Mission Viajo says,

1968
01:42:26,320 --> 01:42:28,320
Speaker 1: I have a Galaxy S twenty two plus and I'm

1969
01:42:28,360 --> 01:42:31,479
Speaker 1: thinking about getting a newer model or maybe switching to Apple.

1970
01:42:31,920 --> 01:42:34,040
Speaker 1: My wife has an iPhone and iPad. She always says

1971
01:42:34,080 --> 01:42:38,160
Speaker 1: I need to get a quote real phone. Help. Well, Steve,

1972
01:42:38,240 --> 01:42:40,879
Speaker 1: first off, you have a real phone. It's a Galaxy.

1973
01:42:40,920 --> 01:42:43,200
Speaker 1: That's an excellent phone. I don't think you need to

1974
01:42:43,280 --> 01:42:45,479
Speaker 1: change anything as long as you're getting software updates, and

1975
01:42:45,520 --> 01:42:48,559
Speaker 1: this is still getting security updates. Tell your wife, hey,

1976
01:42:49,479 --> 01:42:52,840
Speaker 1: I love you, but my phone is just fine. But

1977
01:42:53,320 --> 01:42:55,360
Speaker 1: with that said, if you want to switch to an iPhone,

1978
01:42:55,400 --> 01:42:57,439
Speaker 1: it's not a bad idea because she's got one. You

1979
01:42:57,479 --> 01:42:59,840
Speaker 1: want to be in the ecosystem and she can help

1980
01:42:59,880 --> 01:43:03,120
Speaker 1: you with it. I would check out the iPhone sixteen E.

1981
01:43:03,240 --> 01:43:06,519
Speaker 1: It's simple, it's a solid phone, and it's about six

1982
01:43:06,720 --> 01:43:09,200
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. But don't feel like you have to give

1983
01:43:09,240 --> 01:43:13,120
Speaker 1: into that peer pressure. Candace says, I enjoy your show.

1984
01:43:13,200 --> 01:43:16,000
Speaker 1: I received a podcast link by email and I want

1985
01:43:16,000 --> 01:43:18,719
Speaker 1: to add it to my Apple Music playlist to listen

1986
01:43:18,720 --> 01:43:20,240
Speaker 1: on a plane. What's the best way to do this?

1987
01:43:21,560 --> 01:43:23,400
Speaker 1: Not Apple Music. You have to open up the Apple

1988
01:43:23,479 --> 01:43:27,160
Speaker 1: Podcasts app on your phone, tap search. You can find

1989
01:43:27,200 --> 01:43:29,880
Speaker 1: the show or the episode whatever they sent you. You

1990
01:43:29,880 --> 01:43:33,680
Speaker 1: can just search for that and then tap follow and

1991
01:43:33,720 --> 01:43:35,599
Speaker 1: then use the three dot menu in the upper right

1992
01:43:35,600 --> 01:43:38,680
Speaker 1: hand corner to download the episode. And then once you

1993
01:43:38,720 --> 01:43:40,640
Speaker 1: download it, just to be sure before you hop on

1994
01:43:40,640 --> 01:43:43,400
Speaker 1: that plane, switch your phone into airplane mode and test

1995
01:43:43,720 --> 01:43:45,519
Speaker 1: to make sure that it plays. Because there's so many

1996
01:43:45,600 --> 01:43:47,680
Speaker 1: times that I've gotten on an airplane. I think I

1997
01:43:47,760 --> 01:43:50,720
Speaker 1: downloaded stuff on Netflix or whatever and there's some sort

1998
01:43:50,760 --> 01:43:52,280
Speaker 1: of error and you only figure it out once you

1999
01:43:52,320 --> 01:43:55,000
Speaker 1: get up in the sky. So flip your phone into

2000
01:43:55,000 --> 01:43:57,920
Speaker 1: airplane mode if you're downloading stuff for the plane, be

2001
01:43:58,080 --> 01:44:01,679
Speaker 1: at your house and see if the stuff. That's my tip,

2002
01:44:02,479 --> 01:44:04,560
Speaker 1: Eva says. I took my Pixel seven A to the

2003
01:44:04,640 --> 01:44:07,120
Speaker 1: Verizon store. They told me it doesn't support eSIMs, even

2004
01:44:07,120 --> 01:44:09,840
Speaker 1: though everything I've read says it does. I'm planning to

2005
01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:12,759
Speaker 1: go to another store, hoping I just got some bad info. Also,

2006
01:44:12,800 --> 01:44:14,640
Speaker 1: I love Google Lens. I used it in Japan and

2007
01:44:14,680 --> 01:44:18,920
Speaker 1: Europe and preferred over Google Translate. I love Google Lens too,

2008
01:44:19,000 --> 01:44:20,840
Speaker 1: but you have to have a connection for that one

2009
01:44:20,880 --> 01:44:24,800
Speaker 1: to work. So Google Translate can work offline because you

2010
01:44:24,800 --> 01:44:27,160
Speaker 1: can download the language pack and so that's what I

2011
01:44:27,240 --> 01:44:30,000
Speaker 1: like about that. As for the SIM, as far as

2012
01:44:30,040 --> 01:44:32,920
Speaker 1: I know, the Pixel seven A does support them. So

2013
01:44:33,120 --> 01:44:36,880
Speaker 1: perhaps Verizon was saying that your phone doesn't because it's locked,

2014
01:44:37,439 --> 01:44:40,040
Speaker 1: So that could be the problem. You have to have

2015
01:44:40,080 --> 01:44:43,040
Speaker 1: an unlocked phone. But if it works, you can install

2016
01:44:43,080 --> 01:44:46,519
Speaker 1: it through the aerlow app Ai r Alo. That's the

2017
01:44:46,520 --> 01:44:50,679
Speaker 1: one I use a lot. Pine says, band calls about

2018
01:44:50,720 --> 01:44:53,599
Speaker 1: printer issues on your show that was rough to listen

2019
01:44:53,600 --> 01:44:57,040
Speaker 1: to last week. Lol, Yes they are. That's why I

2020
01:44:57,040 --> 01:45:00,240
Speaker 1: say no printer issues guaranteed I can't solve them. Games

2021
01:45:00,240 --> 01:45:02,320
Speaker 1: from San Diego says I'm using Chrome on Mac and

2022
01:45:02,360 --> 01:45:04,880
Speaker 1: I'm getting a dollar back on each Amazon purchase from

2023
01:45:05,200 --> 01:45:09,040
Speaker 1: both simply codes and shop back. That's two dollars per order.

2024
01:45:09,080 --> 01:45:12,320
Speaker 1: Thanks for mentioning both. Well, thank you for using both.

2025
01:45:12,360 --> 01:45:14,320
Speaker 1: I didn't know you could do both. Double dip in there,

2026
01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:17,439
Speaker 1: John and Oklahoma City says I recently found your show

2027
01:45:17,479 --> 01:45:21,920
Speaker 1: on KTOK yes home of the OKC Thunder NBA Champs. First,

2028
01:45:21,960 --> 01:45:24,080
Speaker 1: let me assure you this message was not written by

2029
01:45:24,120 --> 01:45:26,160
Speaker 1: chat GBT. You can tell because it doesn't start with

2030
01:45:26,439 --> 01:45:29,200
Speaker 1: I hope this message finds you well now the complaint.

2031
01:45:29,240 --> 01:45:31,600
Speaker 1: It is very inconsiderate of you to only do this

2032
01:45:31,640 --> 01:45:34,599
Speaker 1: show once a week. I'm disappointed. I've had to figure

2033
01:45:34,600 --> 01:45:36,599
Speaker 1: out how to use a podcast app just to listen

2034
01:45:36,680 --> 01:45:39,920
Speaker 1: to the older shows. Solution air it every day. But

2035
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:43,479
Speaker 1: if you're really too busy with your KTLA TV stuff,

2036
01:45:43,720 --> 01:45:45,920
Speaker 1: I'd be willing to settle for three times a week

2037
01:45:46,320 --> 01:45:48,320
Speaker 1: in all seriousness. I love the show. I look forward

2038
01:45:48,360 --> 01:45:50,640
Speaker 1: to it. I really appreciate you what you do and
