1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: That scary FBI juice jacking warning. Should you avoid public

2
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: USB ports. There's yet another new streaming service, and it

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: includes HBO, but not in the name. Amazon might charge

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: you for your next return plus your tech questions? Answer

5
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,360

00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: the place where I answer questions about technology, your questions

00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: about technology. I'm the tech reporter at KTLA Channel five

15
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: email to hello at rich on Tech dot TV. I

16
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: think about this stuff a lot, This self service economy

17
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: I call it. It really came to me yesterday as

18
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: I was counting bananas at the checkout at Target and

19
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: typing in that little code off the banana I had

20
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: to look up on the Target self checkout. They've got

21
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: It's pretty simple. You press produce and then you look

22
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: at a couple of pictures. If your picture's not there,

23
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: you type in a couple letters of the produce that

24
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: you ordered, and it really, I don't know why it

25
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: got to me, it like really made me think I

26
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: am a cashier at Target right now. I am my

27
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: own cashier now. Don't get me wrong. When self service

28
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: checkout first came out, I was the first person in line.

29
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: And there are some places where I will use it,

30
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: some places where I refuse to use it. Some of

31
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: these grocery stores you go into, their system's not as

32
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: good as some of the other ones. I actually think

33
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: Target has probably one of the better self service checkouts.

34
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: But you've been at the places where you know, you

35
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: don't put the thing on the little bagging area and

36
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: you get all these chimes, and the person has to

37
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: walk over, they've got to scan something. It's a whole mess.

38
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: So some of these places are not very good, But Target,

39
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: I think is pretty good. But it kind of made

40
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: me a little reflective of all of the things that

41
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: I've become in my life. At the airport, you know,

42
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: you check yourself in. You check yourself in right on

43
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: your app. There's even places where you can tag your

44
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: own luggage. That's pretty much the default at this point.

45
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: I've never done that. I still I'm a holdout on

46
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: the tagging my own luggage. But there's that's the option there.

47
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: That's really what they want you to do. Let's see

48
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: the hotel you go to. There are hotels where you

49
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: can check in right from your phone, use your phone

50
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: as a key, and bypass the front desk. I mean

51
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: Airbnb and Sounder. Those are two sort of systems that

52
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: do that. But Hilton lets you do that. Hyatt lets

53
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: you do that. You don't even need to go to

54
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: the desk anymore. Pumping gas the original self service. Now,

55
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: I grew up in New Jersey, where it is illegal

56
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: to pump your own gas. You cannot pump your own

57
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: gas in New Jersey to this day. One of I

58
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: believe two states, Oregon being the other one. In certain

59
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: places I believe, I don't think it's all of Oregon,

60
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: but I could be wrong. So let me know if

61
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: it's all of Oregon or just places. I was there

62
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: over the summer last year, and I'm trying to remember, now,

63
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: did I pump my own gas or did someone pump

64
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: it for me? I can't remember. Movie theater We went

65
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: to the movies last night. We'll talk more about that

66
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: later in the show we saw the Super Mario Brothers movie.

67
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: But movie theater. Now, I'm old enough where I remember

68
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: the old ways of doing everything right. You go to

69
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: the movie, you'd look in the newspaper for the times

70
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: number one. Then you'd stand in line outside the theater.

71
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: You hope that they still had a seat for the

72
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: movie that you wanted to watch, and you would go

73
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: into the theater. Someone would take your ticket. Now you

74
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: do it all from your phone. In fact, I bought

75
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: too many tickets last night. I was able to return

76
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: it ticket right for my phone. You get to the

77
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: movie theater, they scan your ticket. They even give your

78
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: cup to dispense your own drink. Now, as a kid,

79
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: if you would have given me my own drink cup

80
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: where I can pick. They've got this machine that lets

81
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: you pick from like one hundred and fifty different drinks.

82
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: That freestyle machine. I mean to be able to craft

83
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: your own drink at the movie theater. These are the

84
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: times we live in. In fact, this is something you

85
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: really need to try. This is really cool. There is

86
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: a QR code in that Coca Cola freestyle machine. You

87
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: scan that with your phone, and now your phone becomes

88
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: a remote control for that machine. You can dispense the

89
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: soda from your phone. You tap the screen, it dispenses,

90
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,239
Speaker 1: you lift your finger up, it stops dispensing. It's magic.

91
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: A lot of this stuff is magic. But it's also

92
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: changing car washes. The car wash near me, they just

93
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: change from fully automated, so the people are no longer there.

94
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: You sign up for unlimited washes. You drive your car

95
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: up to the thing, you scan a code, it washes

96
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: your car. You drive out. Parking lots. The latest parking

97
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: lots are all automated, and the best is the parking

98
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: lots that scan your license plate. I know it's scary,

99
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: but they scan your license plate and when you leave,

100
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: you don't even need to put your ticket in. At

101
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: the end, they know from your license plate that you

102
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: already paid at the exit. They already tracked you as

103
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: you came in, and they say, oh, this is Rich's

104
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: license plate. Go ahead, have a good day. In Hawaii

105
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: on vacation. The towel machine. This was the first time

106
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: I saw this. Instead of going to an attendant for

107
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: the towel, there was a machine. You scan your hotel

108
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: room key, the machine door opens, you grab your towels,

109
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: and what's to keep you from taking these towels from

110
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: the hotel. Well, it says it has an RFID tracking

111
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: tag in the towels. Now, I don't know if I

112
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 1: believe that. Maybe they do. I don't know. When I

113
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: was at the airport Panera, instead of walking up to

114
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: the person ordering your salad, they had a bunch of

115
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: touchscreen kiosks at CPK, same thing. You order your food

116
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: from the touch screen and then someone makes it. They

117
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: call your number. You're done at a table at a restaurant.

118
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: I was at a restaurant, and this was during COVID,

119
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: but it's still kind of a sign of the times.

120
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: You know, you'd scan that QR code for the menu,

121
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: but you'd actually take it a step further and just

122
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: order your food from your phone and then a runner

123
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: would bring it to your table. Now, I think we're

124
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: going to see much more of that at these quick

125
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: serve restaurants, something like a Chili's or at Applebee's, because

126
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: people just want to get in there, they want to eat.

127
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: And you know, I was a waiter at one point

128
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: in my life and I loved it, that interaction with people.

129
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: But now the whole name of the game is turning tables,

130
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: cutting costs, and so technology will continue to evolve that situation.

131
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: Simple interactions between humans have become unusual. You don't interact

132
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: on a daily basis. If you're interacting with another person,

133
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: that's unusual. Everything has become sort of what you're doing

134
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: on your own. Companies are continuing to figure out a

135
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: way to cut out the middleman, and they are. I've

136
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: done reports on self service burger vending machines, self service

137
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: pizza vetting machine, breakrooms at offices are now self service,

138
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: mostly on your honor. Amazon. They're building entire stores that

139
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: are self service. I've been in two of them. Just

140
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: walk Out is their technology. You don't even have to

141
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: check out. You grab what you want, It figures out

142
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: who you are, it links it to you, and you'll

143
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: walk out of the store. It actually works pretty well too.

144
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: Sometimes it gets things wrong. If it does, you go

145
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: on your app you say I didn't grab that jar

146
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: of peanut butter, it gives you a credit for it.

147
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: They have a seven to eleven store that's an Amazon store.

148
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,679
Speaker 1: It's called Amazon Go. Same concept. There's one person working

149
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: the store at the exit and they're just there to

150
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: kind of answer questions if you need them, but otherwise,

151
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: you walk in, you grab your donut, you grab your coffee,

152
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: you walk out. So let's see the things I've been

153
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: in my professional life. In addition to a journalist, I've

154
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: been a barista. I've made my own coffee at the

155
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: Amazon Fresh store where it just has a machine. I've

156
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: been an airline attendant, booking or checking in my own bags.

157
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: I've been a grocery store clerk. I've been a fast

158
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,559
Speaker 1: food order taker at the Panera. I've been a pizza maker,

159
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: at least on the app that lets me design the

160
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: exact ingredients on the exact side of the pizza. I

161
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: want gas station attendant, travel agent, researcher on Google, and

162
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: much more. We rent movies from our TV screen, books

163
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: from our Kindle screen, music from our phone screen, and

164
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: food appears at our door magically thanks to contact delivery.

165
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: Contactless delivery. You don't hail a cab anymore. You tap

166
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: an app. You don't call four on one anymore. You

167
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: search Google. We ask friends for recommendations, but we double

168
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: check what they say on Yelp, just to make sure

169
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: it's a place that we think we'd like. Human interaction

170
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: has never been more meaningful or important. That's why I'm

171
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: telling you this. I know that these ways are not

172
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: coming back. You're not going to go stand in a

173
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: line in a movie theater and buy a ticket face

174
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: to face to a person anymore. That's just not the

175
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: way we do it. We choose our seat, we choose

176
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: exactly where we want to sit in the movie theater.

177
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: We choose where we sit on the plane, We choose

178
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: where we sit at the ballpark, at the stage, at

179
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: the concert. These old ways of doing things are just

180
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: not going to come back. In fact, we're going to

181
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 1: continue to do even more on our own. The efficiencies

182
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 1: because of technology are there, but the connections are gone.

183
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: And that is my point. My point is why do

184
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: you feel so good when you are sitting there on

185
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: a Friday night or a Saturday night with your friends

186
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 1: and family. Why? Because face to face time has never

187
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: been more important than right now. We are doing so

188
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: much on our own that when we actually get to

189
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: sit there and be present with our friends and family,

190
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: that is when we are truly human. And I love it,

191
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: and believe me, I'm not saying that this technology is

192
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: a bad thing. I'm just saying I am a little

193
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: bit old enough to understand the changes that have happened

194
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: in my lifetime and why we feel the way we do.

195
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: You can text forever with a friend, but when you

196
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: actually see them and catch up, you still have a

197
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: million questions for each other. It's a beautiful thing. It's amazing,

198
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: and I love it, both sides of it, all right.

199
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: Coming up on today's show, we've got details on the

200
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: replacement for HBO Max. Yes, they are ditching the HBO name. Plus,

201
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: will Amazon charge you for your next return? I've got

202
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: this simple way to answer that question and find out.

203
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: And we've got some great guests this week. Dan Gooden

204
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: of Ours Technica is gonna join me to explain if

205
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: you should be concerned about that scary FBI juice jacking warning.

206
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: Ben Fisher of Sports Business Journal is gonna explain NFL

207
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: Sunday tickets, big move to the YouTube this year, and

208
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: later friend of the show Matt Swider will tell you

209
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: the best way to see the new Super Mario Brothers movie.

210
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: But first it's your turn. We're gonna have your calls.

222
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 1: She's in Los Angeles. Welcome to the show.

223
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 2: Oh hi Rich, Hi Coock. Question, So I have a laptop.

224
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: It's an older one at Choshiba Satellite S fifty five

225
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: fifty two sixty two. And I know you have given

226
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 2: a good recommendation to take in to have the keyboard

227
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: replace that you break it, I fix it or something

228
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 2: like that. Sure, yep, went I went there, but I

229
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 2: didn't have my laptop. I just wanted to check out

230
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 2: the location. My problem is I'm computer literate enough to

231
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 2: kind of transfer stuff on my external hard live. But

232
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 2: do I need to do that or can I trust

233
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 2: them if I read the stuff on? Or how much

234
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 2: do I take off you know, I don't know enough

235
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 2: to check if I take certain things off the laptop,

236
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: if there's still other stuff still on there. Yeah, tax

237
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 2: info or do you recommend that I need to just

238
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 2: get a new I have to break down and get

239
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: a new laptop or something.

240
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: Well, well, I would never recommend getting something new when

241
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 1: you can repair what you've got and it still works

242
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: for you. So unless your laptop is totally you're just

243
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: over it. I mean, so, for example, I've repaired two

244
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: of my computers, and you know, the repairs were pretty

245
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: expensive each time. I think they were like six hundred dollars.

246
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: But the reality is a computer can last a very

247
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: long time. And so if how much is this repair

248
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: that you're looking.

249
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 2: At, Oh, I went back in like December, like it

250
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 2: was under two hundred bucks.

251
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, so two hundred dollars. I mean, that's

252
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: way cheaper than a new computer. Depends. So if this

253
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: how old is this computer?

254
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 2: It's probably at twenty seventeen. I'm just using an external

255
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 2: keyboard because some of the keys started sticky oyes, I couldn't.

256
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: Log in sure sure, so it's not working properly.

257
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 2: And then yesterday I was trying to use it for

258
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 2: something and it wasn't working. But I just kind of

259
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 2: kind of googled and stuff and says, did you like

260
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 2: not update your computer with the word updates because sometimes

261
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 2: that's annoying. So I went back and once I updated it,

262
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 2: it worked immediately, so that could have been.

263
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: Okay, So, so is it working or is it not

264
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: working the keyboard?

265
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 2: So it's working. It's working fine, except for the keyboard.

266
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: Okay, got it.

267
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 2: So I still have a lot of ram on it

268
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: and everything memory.

269
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: So yeah. So the bottom line is if it's working

270
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: for you and the computer is doing what you needed

271
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: to do, I would probably spend the two hundred dollars

272
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 1: and you know, in the meantime be planning your next computer,

273
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: whether that's you know, five hundred, six hundred, one thousand dollars,

274
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: and try to plan for that so that's not a

275
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: surprise when it's time to upgrade. But for two hundred dollars,

276
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: hopefully you get another, you know, two years out of

277
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: this computer, let's say at least, and then of course

278
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: it will still work afterwards. Maybe you can hand it

279
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: down to someone install something like a Chrome os flex

280
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: on it, which is like a chromebook kind of conversion

281
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: software that doesn't need much to run. But first off,

282
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: with your keyboard, if they just if they diagnose that

283
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: it's actually a problem, that's fine, get it replaced. But

284
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: before you do that, I would kind of give my

285
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: computer a cleansing with some canned air. Just make sure

286
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: you spray that kind of under the keyboard. Ninety nine

287
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: percent of keyboard problems are chrumbs underneath the keys, and

288
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: so I would just be gentle. But you can use

289
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of rubbing alcohol on a on a

290
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: you know, just a very very light bit on like

291
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: a cotton swab or a pad. Also, you can use

292
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: like a wipe, but I would really ring it out

293
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: because you do not want to put like a wet

294
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: lisol wipe on your computer. That's super wet. I've done

295
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: it before many many years ago, and it fried the

296
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: key So do not do that. But you can gently

297
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: put a moist you know, a very very light, lightly

298
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: moistened toilet on there to kind of clean things up.

299
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: Blow it off and see if that helps with the keyboard.

300
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: If it doesn't, yes, So to answer your original question,

301
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: before you bring this computer in, you want to full

302
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: back above the hard drive and it's not about them

303
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: necessarily snooping on your drive, but they may have to

304
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: do things that impact your data. So do not give

305
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: your password to anyone that is that is working on

306
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: your computer. And if you do need to do that,

307
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: make a separate account on your computer that they can

308
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: log into if that becomes an issue. I brought my

309
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: computer in one time. They know, they said, all right,

310
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: what's your password for your computer? I was like, wait,

311
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: I'm not giving you my password to my computer. That

312
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: unlocks everything. I said, you got to work around that,

313
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: and sure enough they were able to do that. But

314
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: the reality is they may ask you to do it

315
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: and you just say no or create a different account.

316
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: I would also encrypt your hard drive before you send

317
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: it in, and anything that you can offload to a

318
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: different drive, like attacks. You know, anything you can put

319
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: in the cloud, you can delete off your physical drive,

320
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: but that's what I would do, and then back up

321
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: the entire drive before you send it in, and that

322
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: way you have an entire copy of your hard drive

323
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: before you send it in. You can also log out

324
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: of some of your accounts if you want, like log

325
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: out of Google, log out of your main accounts on

326
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: your web browser. Those are all good things to do.

327
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: But these are all things that just make a lot

328
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: of sense because you don't want this computer to be

329
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: accessed in any way during the repair that you may

330
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: get your files. And also at the same time, when

331
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: they are accessing this computer, they may need to just

332
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: pop out the drive or do some sort of formatting

333
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: on that drive, and then you lose everything. So you

334
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: just have to be prepared when you bring your computer

335
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: in somewhere, you may not get it back in the

336
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: same way that you send it in, and so you

337
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: just need to know that all of your files may

338
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: be gone when you get it back. So just if

339
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: you have that in your mind and you're prepared for that,

340
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: and you've got a backup, you'll be fine. But yeah,

341
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: get it repaired to hundred bucks and you'll forget about

342
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: it and then finally, in a couple of years you

343
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: can get a new computer. Good question, Carol, Thanks a lot,

344
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: all right. If you're returning something to Amazon, you might

345
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: encounter a return fee. Amazon has started charging a return

346
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: for some returns, and here's when they're gonna charge you.

347
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: When they don't have a free option available in your area.

348
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: These returns cost Amazon a lot of money. So if

349
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: you're bringing it to a ups store and they've got

350
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: an Amazon Fresh, a Coals or a Whole Food's near you,

351
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: they may ask you for a one dollar return fee.

352
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: So just keep that in mind if you're looking at

353
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: your Amazon returns. Again, they're trying to make people return

354
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: things less because people order a lot of stuff on

355
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,479
Speaker 1: Amazon and then they say, eh, I don't want this,

356
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna return it, and that does cost Amazon money.

357
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: And of course we know all tech companies are trying

358
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: to save money right now, all right, Coming up next,

359
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about juice jacking. You probably heard this

360
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,360
Speaker 1: scary warning from the FBI this week, right you shouldn't

361
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: plug your phone into a publick USB port. I've got

362
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: Dan goodin security expert at ours Technica. He's going to

363
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: break it down and let you know can you safely

364
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: plug in at the airport rich On Tech.

365
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 3: Coming up next, Welcome back to rich On Tech. Joining

366
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 3: me now is Dan goodin security editor at ours Technica. Dan,

367
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 3: thanks so much for joining me.

368
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 4: Hey, rich So let's.

369
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 3: Talk about the story of the week, the scary FBI

370
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 3: warning about juice jacking. FBI Denver put out a tweet

371
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 3: that said avoid using free charging stations and airports, hotels

372
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 3: or shopping centers. Ad actors have figured out ways to

373
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 3: use public USB ports to introduce malware and monitoring software

374
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 3: onto devices, Carry your own charger and USD cord and

375
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 3: use an electrical outlet instead. Dan, you cover security for

376
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 3: a living at ours Technica. What was your reaction when

377
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 3: you saw this?

378
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 5: Well, this is is kind of the old wives tale

379
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 5: that comes up every eighteen months or so, and there

380
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 5: is no evidence at all that these types of attacks

381
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 5: are happening in airports or other types of public places. There's,

382
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 5: in fact, no evidence that they're happening at all. You know,

383
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 5: I can't I can't prove a negative, but you know,

384
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 5: the burden is on them. They're making claims and they

385
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 5: need to say how they know it, and you know,

386
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 5: until then, I don't think people should pay much attention.

387
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 3: Now, I've been covering checks for about ten years now,

388
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 3: and I have never cited one report where I heard

389
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 3: of this actually happening. But I've heard over the years

390
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 3: the warnings about it, and so it's one of those

391
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 3: things that when you hear this as an average person,

392
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 3: you're now sitting there thinking, oh great, can I not

393
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 3: plug into a public us B port? Is it not safe?

394
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 3: Can you explain sort of? The FBI would tweet something

395
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 3: like this.

396
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 4: Well, you know, back in I don't know, twenty ten,

397
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 4: two thousand and nine, maybe even a little bit later

398
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 4: than that, iPhones and Android phones worked a lot differently.

399
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 4: When you know, sometimes when.

400
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 6: You would plug them into a computer, the computer would

401
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 6: like immediately be able to you know, pull down files

402
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 6: or do other types of things. Because both these platforms,

403
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 6: you know, Android and iOS were pretty immature at the time,

404
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 6: so you know there was a risk and hackers at

405
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 6: hacker conferences would go and they bring fake uh you know,

406
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 6: charging stations and they would actually do this kind of stuff,

407
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 6: and you know it was at a hacker conference where

408
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 6: that kind of stuff is pre game. So I you know,

409
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 6: there was a risk at one time, but I would

410
00:20:55,359 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 6: say in the last probably five years, basically all well

411
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 6: certainly all iOS devices, all iPhones and iPads. I give

412
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 6: you this very prominent uh you know pop up that

413
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 6: wants that warns you what's about to happen and asks,

414
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 6: you know.

415
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 4: Do you want to let it happen? And you know,

416
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 4: I think most people when they plug something in to

417
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 4: get power and it suddenly says, you know, do you

418
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 4: want to have your files access? You know, people say no,

419
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 4: I don't.

420
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 6: And Android it's a little bit different because you have

421
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 6: so many different manufacturers that things can be different from

422
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 6: phone to phone, but most of the you know, decent

423
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 6: brands and up they also provide a very prominent warning,

424
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 6: so you know, it's this isn't the easiest attack to

425
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 6: for somebody to pull off.

426
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 3: So I'm looking through Google News and this juice jacking

427
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 3: story has pretty much gone viral, with every major media

428
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 3: outlet saying that the FBI is warning against using public

429
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 3: phone charge stations at airports malls, so don't I thought

430
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 3: when I saw this that the FBI knew something that

431
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 3: I didn't know. They saw an uptick.

432
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: In this happening worldwide.

433
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 3: And you're saying, that's just not the case.

434
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 4: They didn't. I called the FBI and I asked them

435
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 4: what their source was for all of this, and they said, oh,

436
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 4: they directed me to the FCC and a page on

437
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 4: the FCC dot gov website that had the same warning,

438
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 4: and I, you know, they said, we don't really, you know,

439
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 4: we don't know anything more than this is what the

440
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 4: SEC is saying.

441
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 6: So I called the SCC and I asked them pretty

442
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 6: much the same questions, and they cited a two thy

443
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 6: nineteen post from the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office that was,

444
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 6: you know, warning of this thing, and that went up

445
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 6: in twenty nineteen. It came down in twenty twenty one,

446
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 6: about three weeks after my colleague at you know, our

447
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 6: at tech Crunch, Zach Whittaker, reported that the LA District

448
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 6: Attorney's Office had.

449
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 4: Zero cases and that they were they had heard that

450
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 4: there were cases on the East coast, but they couldn't

451
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 4: point to them. They couldn't provide you know, law enforcement

452
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 4: uh sources or anything that we could call and conferm it. So,

453
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 4: you know, Zach went and reported this thing, and the

454
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 4: LA District Attorney's Office goes and pulls it down. And

455
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 4: here we are, uh, two years later, and we still have.

456
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 6: The aftershocks of this thing, where people, you know, other

457
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 6: law enforcement agencies keep on coming out and you know,

458
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 6: spouting this nonsense.

459
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 3: It seems a little irresponsible to me because we have

460
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 3: enough to worry about with our smartphones, and we always

461
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 3: hear about the dangers of you know, security in general

462
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 3: and how we.

463
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 4: Have to keep ourselves safe.

464
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 3: So if there's something we don't have to worry about,

465
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 3: why are they perpetuating this?

466
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 4: What interest do they have in this? I think they want,

467
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 4: you know, if your tax dollars at work. Quite frankly,

468
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 4: I think they just want to look like they're trying

469
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 4: and doing something. I don't think they have impure motives.

470
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 4: I don't think, you know, I just think that, you know,

471
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 4: so many people don't really know how to keep people

472
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 4: safe online, and so they just say, you know, little

473
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 4: platitudes or things that they've heard other people say. You know,

474
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 4: they don't really know. And you know, the fact of

475
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,959
Speaker 4: the matter is is that humans are not good in

476
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 4: general at assessing risk in a realistic way. We're very scared.

477
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 6: About things that we hear happen on the news, even

478
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 6: though the probability of them is very low. And then

479
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 6: you know, the same people who are worried about these

480
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 6: exotic risks are not wearing a seatbelt. They're doing things

481
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 6: that are be much better worse for their security. So,

482
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 6: you know, I mean, people need to think about their security,

483
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 6: but they do not need to worry about a charging station.

484
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 4: You know at the movie figure.

485
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 3: What about these sort of accessories like a USB data

486
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 3: blocker or a charge only cable. Do you even think

487
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 3: that people need to do that or to carry their

488
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 3: own portable battery? Do you think people need to do

489
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 3: any of that?

490
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 6: No, I mean I don't if I know people who

491
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 6: do it. I know people who use these, you know,

492
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 6: they call them USB condoms and things. It has just

493
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 6: the charging portion of the court. It does not have

494
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 6: the part that carries data. You know, they don't cost

495
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 6: a lot. If it makes you feel better, by all.

496
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 4: Means, get one. But I don't use one, and most

497
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 4: of the people I know probably don't. So there's it's there.

498
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 6: You know.

499
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,719
Speaker 4: Again, there are real threats out there, but these charging

500
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 4: stations are you know, juice jacking is not one of them.

501
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 3: All Right, we're talking with Dan Goodin security editor at

502
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 3: Ours Technical. So, Dan, you said there are some real

503
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 3: threats to people out there.

504
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 4: What should the.

505
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 3: Average person be concerned about when it comes to their

506
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,479
Speaker 3: security on their phones and digital devices?

507
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 4: Well, two things first is update your device, make sure

508
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 4: that you're running the latest available firmware, whether it's you know,

509
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 4: Android or iOS, and do it religiously.

510
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 7: You know.

511
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 6: I mean, you don't have to update if the day

512
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 6: it comes out, but you know, certainly within a week

513
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 6: you should. You should never be running you know, you

514
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 6: know Android or iOS, you know three or four versions earlier.

515
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 4: So that's the first thing. The second thing is, you know,

516
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 4: get your password house in order. But everybody I know

517
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 4: has really bad password hygiene. They use the same password everywhere,

518
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 4: They use weak passwords, things that are pretty easy to guess.

519
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 3: You know.

520
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 4: Really what people need to do is is do a

521
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 4: little bit of research on something called a password manager

522
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 4: and get one and use it and generate a separate

523
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 4: password for every account they have. So you know, like

524
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 4: a couple good password managers. One would be one password,

525
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 4: this is one password and the other is a bit ward.

526
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 4: So yeah, those are the two biggest things that people

527
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 4: can do.

528
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 3: But don't worry about the juice jacking. Charge your charge

529
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 3: your phone at the airport without a worry.

530
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, absolutely all right.

531
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 3: Dan Good and security editor at Ours Technica, Thanks so

532
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,119

00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 3: to send it to. Let's go to Diane in Pineland, Texas. Diane,

542
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 3: you're on with Rich.

543
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 7: Good morning or good afternoon. I have a desktop computer

544
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 7: that was rebuilt and purchased it in twenty eighteen. It's

545
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 7: running on Windows ten. I can't do it to Windows

546
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 7: eleven update. But I'm sitting here at my desk and

547
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 7: it keeps coming on by itself and turning off by itself.

548
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: What and you're not touching anything on it?

549
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 7: No, it just comes on for about two to five

550
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 7: seconds and goes off.

551
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: And what uh okay, so this is running Windows ten

552
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: and what is it doing when it turns on?

553
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 7: It just comes on. I don't have the monitor on,

554
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 7: so it just comes on and it goes on.

555
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: Okay, So you hear kind of like the hard drive

556
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: spinning up and it kind of makes a fan sound

557
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: and then it goes back off.

558
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 7: Yes, I think it's got a.

559
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: Demon Well, it could have you tried. Okay, so a

560
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: couple things here. How when this only started once you

561
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: got it fixed?

562
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 8: Uh?

563
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 7: No, it just started in the last month.

564
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: Okay.

565
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 7: It needs to do its Windows eleven update, but it

566
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 7: doesn't have the proper equipment to do it, so I

567
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 7: keep delaying the Window's eleven update.

568
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: Now, what do you mean it doesn't have the proper equipment.

569
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: It doesn't have the specs that you need.

570
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 7: Yes, it doesn't have a specs.

571
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: Okay, So here's what I would do to get the

572
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: demon out of this machine. Okay, so this is what

573
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: I would the the steps I would take is, first off,

574
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: I would go through and I assume that they're I

575
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: assume your computer's waking up to do something, and so

576
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: it's probably a program that is trying to reach out

577
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: onto the Internet and when it wants to do that.

578
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: Since this is the desktop, it's pretty much always on.

579
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: It's just kind of spinning up and it's checking whatever

580
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: it needs to check, and then it's going back into

581
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: its hibernation mode. So first off, I would make sure

582
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: that you have all of your updates that you can

583
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: install in this computer, make sure it's up to date,

584
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: restart it, and then I would go through and I

585
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: would uninstall any program that I do not recognize. So

586
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: go into the programs directory and just uninstall anything that

587
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: you don't recognize. You don't need any programs that you

588
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: might have added in the last couple of weeks that

589
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: this started happening with, and just get rid of those.

590
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: Then I would restart my computer once again. If it's

591
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: still happening, I would go into the sleep basically the

592
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: sleep settings on your computer. You have Windows ten, so

593
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: go into settings and then it's under power and sleep

594
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: and so in those settings, you'll see that there's a

595
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: couple of ones that are probably the most prominent, which

596
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: is screen, So that's going to say how long it

597
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: takes before the screen turns off, you know, goes dark

598
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: after you stop using it. And then sleep will say

599
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: how long your device will stay up before it goes

600
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: to sleep. And then if you really want to see

601
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: all of the settings, go into the additional power settings

602
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: and kind of take a look through all of those things.

603
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: And there are settings for you know, where it wakes

604
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: up on network, where it wakes up to do things.

605
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: So go into all of those settings and make sure

606
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: they all look right. And then if this continues to

607
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: happen at that point, I'm not sure. So I do

608
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: know that computers do wake up to do things every

609
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: once in a while, install updates and things like that,

610
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: and maybe a computer program is on there that wants

611
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: to do something. So that's those are the steps that

612
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: I would take, and I think that's probably going to

613
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: fix your situation. Now. If your computer is going to

614
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: sleep when you don't want it to, there are little

615
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: programs that can keep your computer awake even though you

616
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: don't want it to be awake. I've got one online

617
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: called aptly called Amphetamine, and when I click this on,

618
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: for instance, right now, I turn it on before I

619
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: start the radio show, and I say, do not go

620
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: to sleep. And I can set it for indefinitely, minutes, hours,

621
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: and all kinds of different things, but I set it

622
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: for about three hours the time of the show, so

623
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: my computer does not go to sleep at all the

624
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: entire time I'm on the air. And then there's other

625
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: times when I'm uploading something to dropbox, I may want

626
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: it to continue that upload without going to sleep, and

627
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: so I'll just say, hey, stay on for the next hour.

628
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: But there are third party apps that can help you

629
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: do that. They often have names like caffeine, caffe e,

630
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: and petamine, So think drugs that keep you awake, and

631
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,959
Speaker 1: you might be able to find the programs to install

632
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: in your computer that do that. But Diane, I don't

633
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: think your computer is possessed, although these computers sometimes do

634
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: feel that way. So good question, and thanks for calling in, Toda.

635
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: I do appreciate that. All right, let's talk about the

636
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: latest streaming service to grace the streaming waves. It is

637
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: called Max. This is from Warner Brothers and Discovery. So

638
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: if you have HBO Max, yes, you will be getting

639
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: access to a new streaming service starting May twenty third.

640
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: It's just called Max. What's it going to have all

641
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: kinds of stuff HBO original shows, Warner Brothers movies, Max Originals,

642
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: that's the stuff from the original HBO Max, the DC Universe,

643
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: Harry Potter, HGTV, Food Network, Discovery Channel, tlc ID which

644
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: is very very popular, the crime stuff people love that programming.

645
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: That will all be on Max. Now they used to

646
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:45,239
Speaker 1: have HBO Max and Discovery Plus. This is pretty much

647
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: e merging of those two streaming services, which, by the way,

648
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: I don't think they've given a date for both of

649
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: those to go away just yet. But if you have

650
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: HBO Max currently, you'll get access to Max at your

651
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: same price, at least for now. HBO Max launched on

652
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: May twenty seventh, twenty twenty. It feels like it was

653
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,720
Speaker 1: just yesterday and now already this is kind of merging

654
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: into or morphing, i should say, into something else. So

655
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: three pricing options for the new Max the ad LTE version,

656
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: which means you're gonna have ADS with your programming. That's

657
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: nine to ninety nine a month or one hundred dollars

658
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: for the year. And I would recommend if you can,

659
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 1: if you can do it, pay in advance for the

660
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: whole year, because if you're going to be subscribing to

661
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: this for a while over time, you will save a

662
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,240
Speaker 1: lot of money. It's like eight thirty a month versus

663
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: ten bucks, and it's a dollar sixty every month. Two

664
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: concurrent streams for that ten eighty resolution, no offline downloads

665
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: which means if you're flying on a plane, you can't

666
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: bring this with you. And five point one surround sound. Now,

667
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: if you want to upgrade to the next plan, it's

668
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: called Max AD free. That's sixteen dollars a month or

669
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty dollars for the year that gives

670
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: you two streams at once, ten eighty resolution, thirty downloads offline,

671
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: and five point one that's actually a little bit worse

672
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: than what you're currently getting, and they only guaranteed if

673
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: you're currently paying for that sixteen dollars a month with

674
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: HBO Max, that you're only going to get that for

675
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: six months guaranteed before they have the option to change

676
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: it to this lesser plan that's not as good for

677
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: the same price you're paying, by the way, because right

678
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: now you're getting three streams plus four K plus ATMOS,

679
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: so that's gonna be downgraded if you want those things.

680
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: Guess what you're going to be paying more for the

681
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: ultimate ad free plan, which is twenty dollars a month

682
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,479
Speaker 1: or two hundred dollars a year, that gives you four

683
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: streams at the same time, four K resolution, one hundred

684
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: off line downloads Dolby atmost. So again, you're only guaranteed

685
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 1: if you're a subscriber right now, to get your current

686
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: features for six months following launch. But this is the thing,

687
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: they're going to have more than forty new titles and

688
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: seasons every month. That's a lot of programming they're really

689
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:01,879
Speaker 1: taking on Netflix right here, things like Harry Potter, a

690
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: prequel to the Game of Thrones, a new comedy series

691
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: from the folks behind Big Bang Theory, or I Guess

692
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: the World of Big Bang Theory, Magnolia Networks, Fixer Upper,

693
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: The Hotel, TLC's Love and Translation, a whole bunch of stuff.

694
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: But again, this all starts on May twenty third. If

695
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: you have HBO Max, you don't need to change a thing.

696
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: You just need to know that on May twenty third

697
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: you may have to download a new app called Max.

698
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if they're just gonna morphit into Max,

699
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: but it sounds like right now you're gonna have to

700
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: download a new app and kind of switch over. All

701
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: of your history and watch list will switch over to

702
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: the new the new streaming service. But again, just so

703
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: many changes with this stuff. It's tough to keep up

704
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: with it because there are many many changes all right,

Speaker 1: to everything I mentioned.

718
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 9: Uh.

719
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: This week, I upgraded my smart home because Google finally

720
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: came out with the feature I have been waiting for forever,

721
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: and that is support for motion sensors. This is something

722
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: that was supported by Apple's Home Kit and also Amazon's

723
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to say the word a

724
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: alex a platform, and so you've been able to do

725
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 1: motion sensing with all of those platforms, but Google never

726
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: natively supported it. And so I just happened to look

727
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: inside the Google Home app and I was like, let

728
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: me take another look here, and sure enough, you can

729
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: now do routines based on motion. So I went through

730
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,879
Speaker 1: and it ruined my whole day. I just went through

731
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: and started redoing everything because I've got certain lights I

732
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:32,919
Speaker 1: want to come on when you walk by a motion

733
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: sensor turn off when you're you know, forget to turn

734
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 1: them off. All that good stuff. So if you've got

735
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: Google Home and you've been waiting for motion sensor support,

736
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: it is now there. I don't know when it came

737
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 1: to the app or when it came to the system,

738
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: but it's there. And all of these home smart home

739
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: systems are getting a lot better thanks to something called

740
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: Matter and Thread. So Matter is this new standard that

741
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:03,280
Speaker 1: is really phenomenal because it is now a standard across Amazon, Google,

742
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: and Apple, which means if you buy a device like

743
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: a plug or a light, they will now work with

744
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: all and Samsung by the way, they will work with

745
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: all of those different smart home platforms, which is really

746
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: really cool because if you start with Apple and you

747
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: get all the stuff that's Matter, and then you say, eh,

748
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: I'm switching Android, I'm switching a Google, you can now

749
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: switch all of your smart home stuff over to Google.

750
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: Or if you say I'm starting with alex A, you know,

751
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: Amazon's platform, and then you want to switch over to Google,

752
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 1: you can do that. So it's really smart that all

753
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: of these big companies have come together and said, okay, fine,

754
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: we will all decide on one standard. That works with everything.

755
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: And I set up my first Matter smart plug yesterday

756
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,720
Speaker 1: and it worked like a charm. You just scan a QR.

757
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: It actually found it as soon as I opened the app.

758
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 1: I plugged it in, opened up the Google Home app

759
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: and I said, Hey, do you want to set up

760
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: this plug? I said yes, And you scan a QR

761
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: code on the plug and it is set up very

762
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: very quickly. So thank you tech companies for actually working

763
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: together for once. We live in so many silos with

764
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 1: this tech stuff that it's refreshing when stuff works together.

Speaker 10: Oh, thank you for taking my call. I have a desktop.

Speaker 10: a brand new one so that way I can run

773
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 10: Windows eleven. So I was wondering if I can install

774
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 10: Windows eleven on my current all in one and just

775
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 10: get rid of eight point one all together. So I

776
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 10: need to know where I can find my system requirements

777
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 10: for Windows eleven.

778
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, they used to have a website that you can

779
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: go to and check, but it does not run on

780
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: Windows eight point one. So you can look at the specs,

781
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: but you can't do the automatic system checker that they

782
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: have for the rest of the computers. Now, is your

783
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: computer giving you a message that you can upgrade to

784
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: Windows ten?

785
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:20,439
Speaker 10: No?

786
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: Okay, have you tried upgrading to Windows ten in the settings?

787
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: Does it give you that option when you go to

788
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: your update settings?

789
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 10: I don't know. I would have to look.

790
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: Okay, So first thing I would do, probably the easiest thing,

791
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: is to migrate to Windows ten first, and then once

792
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: you it's kind of like a leaping or climbing a ladder.

793
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: First you want to get to ten, and then you

794
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: can jump to eleven. You can leap frog ten and

795
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: go directly to eleven, but it's a lot more complicated

796
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,479
Speaker 1: and your computer may not support this. How many years

797
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 1: old is this computer?

798
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 10: Oh? My goodness, probably about three to four years.

799
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 1: Well, that's not that old. I mean that's in computer world.

800
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: That's not I mean, yes, it's older, but it's not

801
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: like ten years. So there are some basic requirements for

802
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: Windows eleven that are different from Windows ten. Is there

803
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,399
Speaker 1: a reason why you want Windows eleven versus Windows ten.

804
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: Is it just because it's newer?

805
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 10: Yes? And the EOL, as you told me before for

806
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 10: Windows ten, is going to end in a couple of

807
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 10: years anyway.

808
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, But I mean you still get I think it's

809
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:20,919
Speaker 1: like twenty twenty five, so you still got a good,

810
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: you know, two and a half years to go. I think,

811
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know the exact let me say

812
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 1: Windows Windows ten end of life. It is October fourteenth,

813
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, so you've got, you know, two and

814
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: a half years to go, So I would okay, So

815
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: what I would do is I would first see if

816
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,720
Speaker 1: this computer can get to Windows ten from the native

817
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: kind of Windows Update screen, and that's going to be

818
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: the easiest way. Once you get to Windows ten, you

819
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: can keep everything updated if you If it works with

820
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 1: Windows ten, that's great, And if it can't go to eleven,

821
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:52,879
Speaker 1: that's fine. You still got two and a half more

822
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: years ahead of you to plan for a new system.

823
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,399
Speaker 1: The main thing about Windows eleven is there are two

824
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: things that it requires that are a little bit trickier,

825
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: and it comes to security, and so it's a system

826
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: firmware that is a secure boot capable, which is like

827
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,280
Speaker 1: a next level thing that some of the older computers

828
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: didn't have. And then this TPM Trusted Platform Module version

829
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,280
Speaker 1: two point zero, and again a lot of the older

830
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: computers didn't have that. So your computer may or may

831
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: not have those things. It's not easy to check to

832
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: see if you have those unless you can go to

833
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 1: Windows ten and then you can do the Windows eleven checker.

834
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: But I would try to go to your settings, your

835
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: software update settings and see if Windows ten can run,

836
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: and then get there and then see if it gives

837
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 1: you the option for Windows eleven, and then go there.

838
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 1: If you cannot run Windows ten or eleven on this computer,

839
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,240
Speaker 1: you may want to install something called Chrome os flex.

840
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 1: Have you heard of that?

841
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 11: No?

842
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 10: I have not.

843
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 1: Have you heard of a chromebook?

844
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 4: Oh?

845
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 12: Yes?

846
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 1: Okay, So basically this will turn this computer into a chromebook.

847
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: And what that means is that you'll get access to

848
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: pretty much all of the things you can do on

849
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 1: a chromebook, which is pretty much a glorified web browser.

850
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 1: But unless you're running anything special, do you do anything

851
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,720
Speaker 1: on this computer besides the web?

852
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 10: No? Just web and some financial stuff.

853
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I mean you're probably using mostly web applications.

854
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: So if you can't get to Windows ten or eleven

855
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: on this computer, you can still squeeze a lot of

856
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 1: life out of it by installing Chrome os Flex. It's

857
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:30,240
Speaker 1: pretty easy to install. It works on a wide variety

858
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: of computers, both Mac and PC, and the installation when

859
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: I did it, you can run it right off a

860
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: USB drive and it's pretty simple, and it's free. By

861
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,959
Speaker 1: the way. It's put out by Google. So I haven't

862
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 1: tested it in a while because I tested it when

863
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: it first came out and I just wanted to see

864
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: how it runs. It was a little bit choppy and flaky,

865
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 1: but it's been a couple of years now and I

866
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: think things have gotten better, so I would look into

867
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 1: those things. So you've got your list now, Jean, of

868
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: things you got to do.

869
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm thinking I'm just may. I just may go

870
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 10: ahead and just buy a whole news.

871
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 1: No, no, no, don't buy the new system. Try look.

872
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 1: The number one thing to do is just go to

873
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 1: Windows type, you know, press the Windows key and then

874
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: type in or navigate to Windows Update. See what it

875
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: gives you there. If it gives you the Windows ten option,

876
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 1: then you can upgrade to Windows ten very easily, and

877
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,399
Speaker 1: then you can just stop and take a breather. Take

878
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 1: a breather for six months, and then you can check

879
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 1: out and see if you can go to Windows eleven.

880
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: There's no need to go to Windows eleven right now.

881
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: And if none of those things work, just go to

882
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:37,280
Speaker 1: the Chrome, Google Chrome os Flex and if you're comfortable

883
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 1: with downloading software to USB drive, I guarantee you can

884
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 1: get this installed in your computer. And if all those

885
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,399
Speaker 1: things don't work, yes, then you can find yourself at

886
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: the store and get a new computer. But try to

887
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: give this computer some new life.

888
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 10: Okay, Well, thank you very much for the information. I

889
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 10: really appreciate it.

890
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: All right, John, thanks for listening there, and miss Mission

891
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 1: Vieho do appreciate that, okay. So let me just give

892
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 1: you an update on this whole Western Digital hacking situation.

893
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: So Western Digital I talked about a couple weeks ago

894
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 1: that their systems were down. You couldn't access the cloud

895
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: on all their drives, all their connected drives. I got

896
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: a message from Western Digital that the online services are

897
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,320
Speaker 1: back up and running. So if you have Western Digital,

898
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 1: MyCloud or a sand disc eb you can get back

899
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: into your drives. From the web. So that's the good news.

900
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 1: The bad news is the hackers that did this say

901
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: they've got about ten terabytes of stolen data from the company,

902
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: including a whole bunch of customer information, according to tech Crunch,

903
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 1: and they want Western Digital to pay them a minimum

904
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: of eight figures in exchange for not publishing the stolen data.

905
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: What does this mean for you? It means that immediately

906
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: you should be changing your password for anything Western Digital related,

907
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: and you should also be taking sort of an account

908
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: of what you have stored in your Western Digital drives

909
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: and just know that there could be a potential breach

910
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: of some of those files. Will it happen, We don't know,

911
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 1: but you have to kind of see what you have.

912
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 1: If it's just your pictures and things like that, okay,

913
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: not the end of the world. Obviously, we store a

914
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: lot of stuff in our photo collections, so it could

915
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: be pictures of your driver's license, social scurity number, all

916
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: that stuff. There's a potential for this stuff to get out.

917
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: Western Digital has not said what these hackers have. Neither

918
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: have the hackers, so we don't know the extent of

919
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 1: this data breach, but it's just good to know about it.

920
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 1: And take stock of what you have stored on these drives,

921
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 1: because that's the important part, is just knowing what you

922
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,359
Speaker 1: have there. So if you know what you have there,

923
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 1: you change your passwords. That's really the best you can

924
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:47,359
Speaker 1: do right now. There's not much more you can do,

925
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:49,919
Speaker 1: but it's just to be aware of this situation, because

926
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: that's the important part right there, all right. Coming up

927
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: on the show, we are going to talk about NFL

943
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 1: Now it's not gonna be free, but i'll explain. We've

944
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: got a guest, Ben Fisher of Sports Business Journal. He's

945
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 1: going to join us coming up next to talk all

946
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: about NFL Sunday Ticket. So I mentioned before the break,

947
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: got an email from Mike. Mike writes in at Hello

948
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: at richontech dot TV. Hey, I was hoping you would

949
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: know how my wife and I could save old voice

950
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 1: messages off our old phone recorder, hoping you might have

951
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 1: a recommendation who could digitally capture the recordings. So it

952
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 1: depends that if it's an old phone recorder, I assume

953
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 1: it does not have any sort of audio out jack.

954
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: If it did, be pretty easy just plug a cable

955
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: in out from the jack into your computer and press

956
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:43,399
Speaker 1: record on your computer, play the old messages, and you've

957
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 1: got it. I assume that's not the case because you're

958
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: emailing me, so it sounds much more complicated. And I

959
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 1: assume there is no way to get these voicemails off

960
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 1: of there easily. So what I would do is a

961
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:57,880
Speaker 1: couple of things. And I get this question very often

962
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 1: when it comes to smartphones and people always want to know,

963
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 1: how do I save? It's kind of a sentimental voicemail,

964
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 1: and on Android and iOS it's very very easy. So

965
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: if you use the Visual Voicemail app, which it's built

966
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: into iPhone and on Android it's typically built in, or

967
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: you can download it from your provider if you have

968
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 1: Cricket or Mint Mobile whoever, they usually have their own

969
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 1: standalone visual voicemail apps. So you download the app and

970
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,800
Speaker 1: then usually the app on Android has a share button,

971
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 1: so you get to the message you want to save

972
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:34,800
Speaker 1: and you press share and then you can share it

973
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: out wherever you want. It'll share the recording, so you

974
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 1: can share that to a cloud drive. I would share it.

975
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: You could share it to your email address, whatever you want,

976
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 1: but that's one way. And then on iOS, same thing.

977
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 1: When you tap into the voicemail on your phone, tap

978
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 1: into it, press the I or sorry, just tap into

979
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 1: the voicemail itself and then you'll see an arrow up

980
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,360
Speaker 1: near the top. That's the share arrow. You press that

981
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 1: share arrow and it says audio recording and you can

982
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 1: now share that however you want, share it to a

983
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 1: cloud drive, whatever you want to do. Now if your

984
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 1: phone is old school it has a three point five

985
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 1: millimeter jack, a headphone jack, it's even easier. Well, I

986
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 1: guess not easier, it's just you can do it a

987
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 1: different way. But you can take that and plug a

988
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: you know, just get like an audio cable three point

989
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 1: five to three point five and plug that jack into

990
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 1: your computer, into the headphone jack, and just record the

991
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 1: voicemail into your computer. And on Mac you can use

992
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,760
Speaker 1: something like QuickTime. On Windows, you can use a voice recorder.

993
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 1: And if you have a newer phone you want to

994
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 1: do this, you might need a converter, so like a

995
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,319
Speaker 1: little adapter. So if your phone does not have a

996
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 1: headphone jack and you want to save those messages, you

997
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 1: might need to get like a USB C to three

998
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 1: point five millimeter converter or a lightning to three point five.

999
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 1: But if you need those, you'd probably have a modern smartphone,

1000
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 1: so you don't really need to use those adapters. You

1001
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:00,879
Speaker 1: would just use the voicemail app like I mentioned. Now,

1002
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:02,880
Speaker 1: the final way, and I think, Mike, this is the

1003
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 1: way that you're going to have to do it is

1004
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 1: good old fashioned speaker phone. So just play the audio

1005
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:13,919
Speaker 1: off the phone recorder on the speaker and just put

1006
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 1: your smartphone next to it and press record and that's it.

1007
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:19,840
Speaker 1: I mean, the audio quality is not going to be perfect,

1008
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 1: but it's going to be better than losing the message.

1009
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 1: So those are many, many ways of doing this. And yes, again,

1010
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 1: the easiest way is if you have a modern smartphone.

1011
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 1: It's very, very easy to save the audio from that smartphone.

1012
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 1: Let's go to Linda in Orange County, California. Linda, you

1013
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 1: are on with Rich. How can I help?

1014
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 9: Yes, good morning, Rich, Thank you so much for taking

1015
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 9: my call. I should have made this call lot many,

1016
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:53,360
Speaker 9: many many years ago, twenty and fourteen at five am

1017
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:56,760
Speaker 9: in the morning. I'm listening, that's the key word, because

1018
00:52:56,800 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 9: I'm a person that's blind to you talking about the

1019
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 9: smart speakers a miss a, and I thought, gosh, this

1020
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 9: sounds really fabulous. And I start calling my friends and

1021
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 9: my friends that are visually impaired and blind, letting them

1022
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:16,840
Speaker 9: know this is an amazing new tool. We've got to

1023
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:21,359
Speaker 9: buy this. And so I talked to my husband. He said,

1024
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 9: that's Amazon Prime. I'm not paying you know, an extra

1025
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 9: ninety nine dollars or whatever it was at the time

1026
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:30,879
Speaker 9: for Amazon Prime just for you know something that you want,

1027
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 9: and I'm thinking, gee, all my other friends are getting

1028
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 9: this and I want it, and blah blah blah. So

1029
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:40,400
Speaker 9: I finally call Amazon and they said, you know, we

1030
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 9: didn't even realize that there were so many people with

1031
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 9: low vision or total blindness that are thinking about using

1032
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 9: our smart speaker for what it is that they want

1033
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,840
Speaker 9: to know. So I need to say thank you, honest

1034
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 9: to goodness. Eventually did get my smart speaker, and I

1035
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 9: still have the original and it's just been a fabulous

1036
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 9: tool and it has grown and developed, just like you know,

1037
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:17,759
Speaker 9: all the other wonderful smart accessible tools. So my first

1038
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:19,360
Speaker 9: of all, I just want to say thank you for that.

1039
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:21,359
Speaker 1: I think I love that you remember the date that

1040
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,799
Speaker 1: I change your life. I'm taking a lot of credit here,

1041
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 1: but I love that you remember that it was twenty

1042
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:27,759
Speaker 1: fourteen May.

1043
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 9: So well I asked it. I asked miss A before

1044
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 9: I called it, just so I would have that information.

1045
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 9: So what I'm asking you is if you would implement it.

1046
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 9: Doesn't have to be every week, might be once a

1047
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:49,320
Speaker 9: month some sort of new accessible tool that a person

1048
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 9: with visual impairment might be able to use. I must

1049
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 9: say I am very involved with the Brill Institute. They

1050
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:58,760
Speaker 9: have workshops, they have it people.

1051
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 1: Before you get cut off, I've got to go to break.

1052
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:04,920
Speaker 1: But I love the suggestion one hundred percent. I agree,

1053
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 1: and I do try to keep this into consideration with

1054
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: both TV and radio. But Linda, because of what you said,

1055
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 1: I will always keep it top of mind. Okay, I

1056

1081
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 4: bit off as high as today, but still pretty nice.

1082
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:33,000
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, it's been cold and rainy in California. Okay, so

1083
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:37,319
Speaker 1: let's talk about the big announcement this week. Everyone was

1084
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 1: wondering what YouTube was going to do with NFL Sunday ticket.

1085
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: How much did they pay? Do we ever hear how

1086
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 1: much they paid for this?

1087
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 4: Two point two billions is the number for houp up

1088
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 4: from Direct TV one point five.

1089
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 1: An Okay, so that's every year two point two billion

1090
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 1: dollars a year. Yes, that's like an insane amount of money.

1091
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 4: Well, it's the NFL, and they have decided that they

1092
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 4: are that important to people and they for the longest time,

1093
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 4: we were skeptical they could get an increase over the

1094
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 4: one five because DirecTV said for a long time that,

1095
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 4: you know, the economics didn't really make sense for them,

1096
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 4: and that's why it was out for open bids. So

1097
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 4: there's a lot of skepticism. It took them a long

1098
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 4: time to get this fuel done, and you know, I

1099
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 4: never bet against the NFL getting their money, but for

1100
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 4: the longest time, it seems like nobody wanted to pay

1101
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 4: more than DirectTV was. Then Google YouTube came in and

1102
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 4: sure did.

1103
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, it looks like YouTube is bringing in like

1104
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 1: almost thirty billion for Google every year, so I guess

1105
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 1: they can afford it all right. So the announcement is

1106
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 1: that NFL Sunday Ticket will be on YouTube TV. But

1107
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 1: you don't even have to subscribe to YouTube TV. You

1108
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 1: can get it on YouTube as well through their new

1109
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 1: service called Primetime Channels. So this is also the first

1110
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 1: time that it's available without a satellite dish. So can

1111
00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 1: you explain kind of like where we stand with this

1112
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 1: this here, Well.

1113
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:06,200
Speaker 4: That's a big, big change for the user experience the

1114
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 4: direct TV because you know, obviously nineteen ninety four one

1115
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 4: direct TV or when when Sunday Ticket was created, satellite

1116
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 4: was the way to do something like this. Honestly, for

1117
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:18,920
Speaker 4: ten years now, to least people in you know, with

1118
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:21,439
Speaker 4: high speed internet and thought satellite was behind the time.

1119
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 4: It's you know, we all know you can't get satellite

1120
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 4: if you're in a big apartment accomplex. There's lots of

1121
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:31,440
Speaker 4: inherent limitations on it. So this is frankly long overdue

1122
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 4: as far as getting it over to a broad brand

1123
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 4: broadband streamer in terms of making it more available and

1124
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 4: doing all the things that we expect modern video distribution

1125
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 4: to be able to do. But it's not without its

1126
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 4: costs too. There's other questions that are raised by switching

1127
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 4: off something that you know, for better or worse, is

1128
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 4: at least really is established a mature technology, and you know,

1129
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 4: live sports on broadband at scale is still a bit

1130
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 4: of a you know, questionable proposition on just how well

1131
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 4: it works. But clearly this is coming to everyone wanted

1132
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 4: to happen for some time.

1133
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: Okay, But the big question is if you know satellite

1134
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 1: was easy because it was connected to your TV, you

1135
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 1: already knew how to access it. I imagine there's gonna

1136
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 1: be a lot of people that have maybe don't don't

1137
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 1: really know how to access this on their TV. So

1138
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:20,760
Speaker 1: especially if they don't have YouTube TV. I guess they

1139
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 1: have YouTube many people, But you know, I'm just thinking

1140
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 1: of someone like, you know, my mom may not know

1141
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:27,720
Speaker 1: or my dad may not know how to get this

1142
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:30,560
Speaker 1: on their TV. So how will people access this?

1143
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 13: Well, that is part of the problem with that was

1144
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 13: all of sports going over the street that even people

1145
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 13: that know their way around their TV interface, like you know,

1146
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 13: it's a little bit harder to get.

1147
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 4: To Amazon Prime or whatever Thursday night. And if you've

1148
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 4: got YouTube TV, I mean a lot of people speak

1149
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 4: really highly about that is effectively replaced in the old

1150
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 4: cable bundle and you might have that integrated into your

1151
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 4: smart TV, or you can just go on to your

1152
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 4: laptop and go to YouTube and we'll watch it there

1153
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 4: to the Prime channels. I think you hit on something,

1154
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 4: just like the nuts and bolts of watching this is

1155
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 4: more complicated, and we all know that, like there's a

1156
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 4: thousand different smart TV in our faces, so you know

1157
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:13,000
Speaker 4: exact I wouldn't even be able to tell you exactly

1158
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 4: how to do it because there's so many variables involved

1159
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:18,640
Speaker 4: with how your particular setup is working. And that's that's

1160
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:20,160
Speaker 4: part of the thing they've got to fight through on this.

1161
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 1: I think part of it is pushing people to YouTube TV,

1162
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 1: but almost needlessly because yes, I have YouTube TV. It's

1163
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 1: very simple. If I sign up for NFL Sunday Ticket,

1164
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:34,120
Speaker 1: it'll just integrate itself into my program guide. But you

1165
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 1: don't need that. You can actually just get this as

1166
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:40,200
Speaker 1: a channel through YouTube, which sounds weird because this is

1167
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 1: a brand new feature as well. So people don't even

1168
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 1: you know, they're not they're not even understanding the concept

1169
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:48,200
Speaker 1: of the fact that you can subscribe to something through YouTube,

1170
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 1: and so I think a lot of people will probably

1171
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,840
Speaker 1: needlessly subscribe to YouTube TV and pay that extra you know,

1172
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:56,680
Speaker 1: seventy five bucks a month whatever they're charging now just

1173
01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 1: to get this NFL Sunday ticket before let's let's talk

1174
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 1: the pricing now, So, uh, do you want to rattle

1175
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:03,920
Speaker 1: off the pricing? Do you know it off the top

1176
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 1: of your head or you want me to do it?

1177
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 4: Well, Anticipating this moment, I went back to see my

1178
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 4: tweets from Tuesday morning. So for a baseline Direct TV

1179
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 4: Sunday ticket with two eighty nine a year, this is

1180
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 4: going to be anywhere from two forty nine to four

1181
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 4: to forty nine, depending on whether you've got Sunday or

1182
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 4: you've got YouTube TV already. There discount's involved. If you're

1183
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 4: a subscriber before June.

1184
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 1: And six, Okay, so, uh.

1185
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 4: It's going to be more expensive, but if you're a

1186
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 4: subscriber any sign up before June and six, it will

1187
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 4: be slightly less expensive.

1188
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 1: So if you're a YouTube tv member already, you can

1189
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:42,919
Speaker 1: get this for two forty nine for this season. That's

1190
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars off the regular price of three forty nine.

1191
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:47,440
Speaker 1: And that is until I think you just said this,

1192
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 1: June sixth, So if you get it right now, you

1193
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:52,920
Speaker 1: can get that deal now. If you want Sunday ticket

1194
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 1: with red zone, that is three nine or two eighty

1195
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 1: nine during the pre sale or three eighty nine after that.

1196
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:03,640
Speaker 1: And then if you just want it all by itself,

1197
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 1: let's see, do I have the price for that? That

1198
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 1: is three forty nine or four forty nine after June sixth,

1199
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:12,280
Speaker 1: and then if you want the red zone, it's three

1200
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:15,720
Speaker 1: eighty nine versus forty nine. So again, even though this

1201
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:18,840
Speaker 1: is somewhat simpler, it's still confusing because how much was

1202
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 1: it with Direct TV?

1203
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:23,920
Speaker 4: Well, it's two eighty nine on top of whatever you

1204
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 4: were already paying for Direct TV.

1205
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:29,600
Speaker 1: Okay, So theoretically, if you're getting this on its own

1206
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 1: with the primetime channels for three forty nine. That's pretty

1207
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 1: good because you don't you can just not pay anything

1208
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 1: else on top of that, which is which is actually

1209
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 1: a deal because you don't have to pay the DirecTV

1210
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:42,240
Speaker 1: you know, the base plan whatever you had to pay

1211
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 1: there before.

1212
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 4: Right, Which which is interesting because very business justification for YouTube, Google,

1213
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 4: Google YouTube doing this is to drive subscriptions, like they

1214
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:57,760
Speaker 4: definitely want you to find Sunday Ticket to be a

1215
01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 4: path to YouTube TV subscriptions. So I don't think, look

1216
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:04,520
Speaker 4: well them to do this without some way of buying

1217
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:07,480
Speaker 4: it on its own to the primetime channel. But the

1218
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:10,560
Speaker 4: idea here this works out well, that just works out

1219
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 4: best for YouTube if you become a YouTube TV subscribe, right.

1220
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 1: And my feeling is, and by the way, you might

1221
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 1: want to move just a little bit where we're losing

1222
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 1: your signal. My feeling is that YouTube is specifically going

1223
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:26,280
Speaker 1: to promote more of the TV part of this, because

1224
01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 1: you're right, it gives them an extra seventy five dollars

1225
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 1: a month for people who may not know that they

1226
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 1: can subscribe to this through YouTube, and YouTube has an

1227
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,960
Speaker 1: app for almost every single thing out there, so you'd

1228
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 1: be able to get this on pretty much any device

1229
01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 1: you can think of. Now, YouTube TV will give you

1230
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 1: some other things like the DVR storage, the recommendations, the

1231
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:50,440
Speaker 1: key plays, the fantasy data, real time stats, you know,

1232
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 1: all those abilities. So there's a lot more that I

1233
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 1: think the YouTube TV brings you, But we'll see. So

1234
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 1: what do you think? What's your kind of final consensus

1235
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:01,680
Speaker 1: on this whole thing. Do you think this is a

1236
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 1: good thing? You think people are ready for this change?

1237
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 4: Well, like I said at the top, I think switching

1238
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 4: from satellite technology to broadband streaming is long overdue. It's

1239
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:16,120
Speaker 4: hardly perfect, but satellite had so many problems. I mean,

1240
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:19,680
Speaker 4: you know, I couldn't even get satellite my apartment complex

1241
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:22,000
Speaker 4: for a long this time. So and I understand not

1242
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 4: everyone's got realized with broadband, but I'd say, on balance,

1243
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 4: this makes it more available to more people. I think

1244
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:30,680
Speaker 4: the streaming technology allows the you know, the real time

1245
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:33,760
Speaker 4: stats integration. I think there's something to advertise with integration

1246
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 4: with NFL dot com where you can sort of you know,

1247
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:38,800
Speaker 4: watch it, but also integrate with like real time with

1248
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:41,840
Speaker 4: with stats and fantasy and you know, and like you

1249
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:44,480
Speaker 4: even hear people talk about, you know, NFL sponsors like

1250
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:49,320
Speaker 4: Budweiser or bud Light and PEPSI you know, be able

1251
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 4: to you can get you refill your beer with one

1252
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:54,400
Speaker 4: click through a through a streaming and that stuff obviously

1253
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 4: would be fantasy and satellite. So it's better from a

1254
01:04:57,280 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 4: technological standpoint. I still think the economic so the out

1255
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 4: of market package is really tough here because I'm a

1256
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 4: football fan. I cover the NFL for a living, and

1257
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:09,360
Speaker 4: I still think, I don't know, that's a lot of

1258
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:11,240
Speaker 4: money for the out of market games. I mean, all

1259
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 4: the best games by definition on the national TV anyway,

1260
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 4: So I guess it's certainly better on stream, and I

1261
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:20,840
Speaker 4: still think there's some fundamental questions about the pricing. And

1262
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 4: you know who exactly this is for. You've got to

1263
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 4: be a pretty die hard fan, yeah, you know.

1264
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:28,240
Speaker 1: You got to be a die hard fan that lives

1265
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 1: in a city that you're still following a team in

1266
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 1: your old city because you know, thanks to the way

1267
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 1: these economics are still working out, you still don't get

1268
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 1: the games that are being played in your own city,

1269
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:42,200
Speaker 1: which is to me the biggest issue with this whole situation,

1270
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:45,280
Speaker 1: and one that Apple has figured out with the MLS

1271
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 1: because they're doing everything without sort of blackouts. And so

1272
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:52,160
Speaker 1: that's really what we need next in NFL. Perhaps, Ben,

1273
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:53,280
Speaker 1: we'll see that next time I.

1274
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:56,760
Speaker 4: Talk to you. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, it's

1275
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 4: hard to say where this all goes. I think the

1276
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:01,120
Speaker 4: NFL loves being an old fashion and broadcast over the

1277
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 4: air TV because that's still the best way to reach

1278
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 4: the most people. But you know, that's a chice they

1279
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:09,400
Speaker 4: make because that's that's a different economic model than going

1280
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 4: through like MLS and Apple is doing. And you're right,

1281
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:14,080
Speaker 4: that solves a lot of problems because you have no

1282
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 4: questions about MLS games if you just sign up with

1283
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:18,960
Speaker 4: Apple these bags, right, And that's the simplicity goes a

1284
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 4: long way and the complicated internet subscription based dealing experience.

1285
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and with two point two billion dollars on the

1286
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 1: line every year, they've got to figure out to make

1287
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 1: sure this is all all worth it and they preserve

1288
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:32,880
Speaker 1: the income that they're they're generating off of these games

1289
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 1: that are both on streaming and of course regular TV.

1290
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:38,080
Speaker 1: Ben Fisher of Sports Business Journal, We're going to leave

1291

Speaker 1: If you have a question, give me a call. Coming up,

1297
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you about LinkedIn, how you can verify

1298
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:59,000
Speaker 1: yourself to say who you are, make sure you are

1299
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:01,960
Speaker 1: who you say you are and where you work. You're

1300
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:06,479
Speaker 1: listening to rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech.

1301
01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:14,000
Speaker 1: Rich DeMuro here talking technology with you. Yep, this is

1302
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 1: my all time favorite song. Love that song. All right,

1303
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 1: let's talk about LinkedIn. Do you love LinkedIn? I don't know.

1304
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:31,720
Speaker 1: I'm kind of I'm kind of like eh about LinkedIn.

1305
01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure people get jobs from LinkedIn and get kind

1306
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 1: of figure out stuff, but it's never really been that

1307
01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:43,920
Speaker 1: valuable or useful to me except for researching folks. So

1308
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:45,720
Speaker 1: if I want to talk to someone in an interview

1309
01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 1: or whatever for you know, one of my programs, it's great,

1310
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:51,760
Speaker 1: but you know, I find that some people don't update it,

1311
01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:54,439
Speaker 1: so I mean it's good. But the main thing about

1312
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:56,720
Speaker 1: LinkedIn that kind of bugs me is that when you

1313
01:07:56,800 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 1: want to contact someone, it's like you have all their

1314
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 1: information about them, but not a way to necessarily contact them.

1315
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:05,800
Speaker 1: And sure LinkedIn gives you like a little place where

1316
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 1: you can message them. But who checks their LinkedIn messages?

1317
01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:11,120
Speaker 1: I certainly don't, so I mean maybe people do. I

1318
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:13,440
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe that's why I'm not getting value out

1319
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:17,479
Speaker 1: of LinkedIn because I'm not checking my messages. But we

1320
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:20,960
Speaker 1: know that there is a problem with fake people and

1321
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:24,760
Speaker 1: bots and all these things on Twitter and Facebook and Instagram.

1322
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:27,720
Speaker 1: LinkedIn has always been a place where pretty much if

1323
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 1: someone's on there, they're real. But there's also a lot

1324
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:33,400
Speaker 1: of scams on LinkedIn. People get scammed by, you know,

1325
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:37,479
Speaker 1: job things and offers and people trying to get them

1326
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:39,320
Speaker 1: to do a job and it's not real and it's

1327
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:41,360
Speaker 1: just trying to get their information. So you do have

1328
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:44,200
Speaker 1: to be careful on LinkedIn, and I think LinkedIn knows that.

1329
01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:47,439
Speaker 1: And so they are now rolling out three new ways

1330
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:51,879
Speaker 1: to verify your identity and where you work. And unlike

1331
01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:58,320
Speaker 1: the new identity verification programs on Twitter and Instagram and Facebook,

1332
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:01,680
Speaker 1: this is totally free. So a couple ways to do this.

1333
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:06,240
Speaker 1: Number One, you can verify your identity with clear. These

1334
01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:08,120
Speaker 1: are the same folks that you see at the airport.

1335
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:10,840
Speaker 1: You can now you know, they've got this technology that

1336
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:13,439
Speaker 1: helps identify who people are, and so they're going to

1337
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:16,639
Speaker 1: put that same technology to work right here on LinkedIn.

1338
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:19,719
Speaker 1: So beginning this month, you can display on your profile

1339
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:22,000
Speaker 1: that you've verified with Clear, and all you have to

1340
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 1: do is upload your ID government issued ID, which I

1341
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 1: don't know if i'd be feel secure doing that, and

1342
01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:33,000
Speaker 1: your US phone number. So you basically take a selfie

1343
01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:37,640
Speaker 1: and submit your ID and they link them up and

1344
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:39,360
Speaker 1: then your phone number and now you can say, hey,

1345
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:43,760
Speaker 1: I'm verified by Clear. Second way is company email. This

1346
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:47,400
Speaker 1: seems a lot easier in my opinion, So you can

1347
01:09:47,439 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 1: put your company email into LinkedIn and it will kind

1348
01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:53,880
Speaker 1: of go on the back end verify since obviously you

1349
01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:56,639
Speaker 1: can receive an email and a confirmation at that email

1350
01:09:56,800 --> 01:09:59,680
Speaker 1: that okay, this person actually works at this company. And

1351
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:01,840
Speaker 1: so they say this is available right now to fifty

1352
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:06,120
Speaker 1: million members on LinkedIn and four thousand companies that it

1353
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:08,879
Speaker 1: works with. I have not tested this with my work email,

1354
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 1: so I think that's a good way to do it.

1355
01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:13,000
Speaker 1: The only downside to that is that if you're not

1356
01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:16,240
Speaker 1: with your you know, with a big company, or you're

1357
01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:18,759
Speaker 1: on your own or your freelance or you leave that company,

1358
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:21,760
Speaker 1: it could be kind of tricky. So that's one way.

1359
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:25,280
Speaker 1: And then the final way is this Microsoft Intra, and

1360
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 1: I guess Entra is some sort of verified ID platform

1361
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:34,719
Speaker 1: that Microsoft offers to companies, And that's probably the least

1362
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:37,120
Speaker 1: useful because I don't think many people I've never even

1363
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 1: heard of Microsoft Entra, but that's kind of something that

1364
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:43,160
Speaker 1: I'm guessing they sell to companies that participate in it.

1365
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:46,519
Speaker 1: And then if you're in there and you know who

1366
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:50,040
Speaker 1: you are, if your company participates in that verified ID platform,

1367
01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:54,639
Speaker 1: you can use that to verify your LinkedIn. So again,

1368
01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:58,839
Speaker 1: this is all about giving people confidence, according to LinkedIn,

1369
01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 1: to know that you're connecting with the person that they

1370
01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:05,519
Speaker 1: say they are and that they're trusted. And again I've

1371
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:07,639
Speaker 1: heard people say like this, you could be a problem

1372
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:10,280
Speaker 1: on LinkedIn, especially if you're looking for like remote jobs.

1373
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:12,720
Speaker 1: People may ask you a whole bunch of stuff and

1374
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:16,080
Speaker 1: they turn out to be bogus. So just be aware

1375
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:18,320
Speaker 1: of that and be careful of that kind of thing.

1376
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:23,519
Speaker 1: We were talking about NFL going to YouTube, but if

1377
01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:27,120
Speaker 1: you have Google TV, they're adding more than eight hundred

1378
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:32,080
Speaker 1: free channels. Eight hundred free channels on Google TV. This

1379
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 1: means if you have a Chrome Cast with Google TV

1380
01:11:35,680 --> 01:11:38,639
Speaker 1: or one of these Google TV boxes, you've got eight

1381
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:42,439
Speaker 1: hundred free TV channels. So I've talked about this on

1382
01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:47,040
Speaker 1: the show before, Free ad supported television. This is the

1383
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 1: fastest growing area of streaming, and in fact, the acronym

1384
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:57,679
Speaker 1: is fast free ad supported TV. It's basically old school TV,

1385
01:11:58,040 --> 01:12:00,920
Speaker 1: except now streaming, which means you just have ads that

1386
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:04,200
Speaker 1: you can't skip. And so people are sick of paying

1387
01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:06,800
Speaker 1: for streaming services, and so they say, okay, let me

1388
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 1: see what's on two B let me see what's on Plex,

1389
01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:12,120
Speaker 1: let me see what's on Pluto TV. And there's a

1390
01:12:12,200 --> 01:12:15,120
Speaker 1: whole bunch of these different things at this point. So

1391
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:20,880
Speaker 1: starting now, Google is integrating these free channels right into

1392
01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:25,200
Speaker 1: the live tab on your Google TV device. So there's

1393
01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:28,759
Speaker 1: gonna be all kinds of news channels NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox,

1394
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:33,120
Speaker 1: programming from around the world in ten languages, including Spanish, Hindi,

1395
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:37,559
Speaker 1: and Japanese. They've got breaking news, blockbuster movies, all kinds

1396
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:40,679
Speaker 1: of stuff. I checked my Chrome Cast with Google TV

1397
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:42,920
Speaker 1: to see if I had this yet. I don't, but

1398
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:45,640
Speaker 1: I do like their interface because the thing is. We

1399
01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:48,200
Speaker 1: started out with these streaming services that you pop into

1400
01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:50,839
Speaker 1: and see what's playing, but now we've come full circle

1401
01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:54,400
Speaker 1: back to the live grid. People love the live grid

1402
01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:56,559
Speaker 1: because you can see the channels, and you can see

1403
01:12:56,560 --> 01:12:59,120
Speaker 1: what's playing on the channels at the different times and

1404
01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:01,240
Speaker 1: pop into them like you did back in the day

1405
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:04,760
Speaker 1: on a cable box. So eight hundred channels, are they

1406
01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:07,760
Speaker 1: all going to be good? Probably not, But if you're

1407
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:11,839
Speaker 1: looking for free stuff to watch, people might know like, Okay,

1408
01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 1: I can go to my Google TV and find stuff,

1409
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:19,320
Speaker 1: and Roku's doing this, Pluto does this, So everyone's seeming

1410
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:21,880
Speaker 1: to get into this whole live grid with a bunch

1411
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:24,040
Speaker 1: of free stuff. And yes you will have to sit

1412
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:28,960
Speaker 1: through commercials, but it's free. So where's this available? Like

1413
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:32,000
Speaker 1: I said, Google TV devices in the US, including Chromecast

1414
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:35,160
Speaker 1: with Google TV and TVs with Google TV built in.

1415
01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:38,160
Speaker 1: So if you have a Sony with Google TCL High

1416
01:13:38,160 --> 01:13:41,360
Speaker 1: Sense and fillups, they all have this built in. You

1417
01:13:41,360 --> 01:13:44,840
Speaker 1: should be seeing this update soon. They're going to bring

1418
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:47,920
Speaker 1: it to eligible Android TV devices later this year, so

1419
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:49,880
Speaker 1: if you have an Android TV box, you're not going

1420
01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:53,080
Speaker 1: to see this immediately, but one more way to watch

1421
01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:57,080
Speaker 1: free stuff and there are many ways at this point.

1422
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:02,519
Speaker 1: All right, let's see so many emails here. Nancy wrote

1423
01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:06,080
Speaker 1: in Hey, Rich, I have no ad. Discovery Plus is

1424
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:08,040
Speaker 1: six ninety nine a month. I don't want anything else.

1425
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:09,679
Speaker 1: What are my options going to be? I can't find

1426
01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:12,760
Speaker 1: anything online? Nancy, I think Discovery Plus is going to

1427
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:15,160
Speaker 1: stay put, even though we have HBO Max coming along

1428
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:18,360
Speaker 1: to Max. I think Discovery Plus is staying put right

1429
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:22,800
Speaker 1: now at six ninety nine a month, so until they

1430
01:14:22,920 --> 01:14:24,960
Speaker 1: change that, all right, if you have a question, give

1431
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:26,800
Speaker 1: me a call. Eighty to eight rich one on one

1438
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:57,519
Speaker 1: special guests, my wife Lindsey, Hello, everybody, happy to be here.

1439
01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:02,880
Speaker 1: And my son Tanner. Hi. So now it sounds like

1440
01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:05,679
Speaker 1: a circus in here. Now we're like the rich Morning Zoo.

1441
01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:10,160
Speaker 1: I need like a cow bell. No, it's it's all fun.

1442
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:12,799
Speaker 1: My kid has been asking me to come into the

1443
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:18,080
Speaker 1: the radio studio since we started the show, and I said, okay,

1444
01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:20,679
Speaker 1: you got to give me a little bit of time

1445
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:24,040
Speaker 1: to get used to the show first, right, and then

1446
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:26,000
Speaker 1: and then I said I would bring him in. So

1447
01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:28,000
Speaker 1: he's in here. And what was your first reaction to

1448
01:15:28,040 --> 01:15:28,760
Speaker 1: the studio here?

1449
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:33,240
Speaker 8: You know, I thought the room was a little small,

1450
01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:36,160
Speaker 8: but then I looked around more and it was a

1451
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:36,800
Speaker 8: little big.

1452
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:39,519
Speaker 1: Okay, what do you think of the noise? You can't

1453
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:41,360
Speaker 1: hear anything in here? Right, it's very quiet.

1454
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:42,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1455
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:44,120
Speaker 8: When I came.

1456
01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:50,760
Speaker 1: In, he can't hear so I felt like, oh, he

1457
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:52,400
Speaker 1: felt like he popped his ears. Okay, that might have

1458
01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:55,559
Speaker 1: been the elevator though. So my kid is here for

1459
01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:59,120
Speaker 1: a reason. We're gonna be talking about the Super Mario

1460
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:01,559
Speaker 1: Brothers movie a little bit later in the show. I've

1461
01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:05,040
Speaker 1: got Matt Swider, friend of the show. He is going

1462
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:07,400
Speaker 1: to tell us the best way to see the movie.

1463
01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:11,439
Speaker 1: He saw it in like five different formats. I can't

1464
01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:13,280
Speaker 1: believe it. I saw it in one, and I'm good

1465
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:15,439
Speaker 1: with that. You saw it last night. We're not going

1466
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:18,280
Speaker 1: to talk about it just yet, but we'll have Tanner

1467
01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:20,040
Speaker 1: kind of chime in on that in just a little

1468
01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:23,599
Speaker 1: bit but speaking of Nintendo, by the way, phone lines

1469
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:26,800
Speaker 1: open triple eight rich one one eight eight eight seven

1470
01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:31,000
Speaker 1: four to two, four to one zero one. Speaking of Nintendo,

1471
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:36,920
Speaker 1: Nintendo announces Nintendo Live twenty twenty three. This is something

1472
01:16:36,920 --> 01:16:39,760
Speaker 1: they did in Japan during the pandemic, I guess last year,

1473
01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:43,639
Speaker 1: but now they're bringing it to the US. And it's

1474
01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:47,800
Speaker 1: kind of interesting timing because E three we talked about

1475
01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:50,040
Speaker 1: on the show, how that's not happening this year. That's

1476
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:54,200
Speaker 1: the big video game show usually happens in downtown LA

1477
01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:57,160
Speaker 1: every June. That is not happening this year. And then

1478
01:16:57,200 --> 01:17:00,080
Speaker 1: as soon as that announcement was made, then Nintendo says, oh, oh,

1479
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:01,800
Speaker 1: by the way, we're doing a show on our own,

1480
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:05,160
Speaker 1: and this is happening up in Seattle. I say up

1481
01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:07,719
Speaker 1: in Seattle because I'm in LA. But if you're in Seattle,

1482
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:09,519
Speaker 1: you're like, what does you mean up in Seattle. I'm

1483
01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:13,080
Speaker 1: in Seattle. It's right here, and so this is happening

1484
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:16,000
Speaker 1: in Seattle. This will be an in person event. Anyone

1485
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:19,040
Speaker 1: can go, and Nintendo made sure that they said it's

1486
01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:23,360
Speaker 1: for family, it's family friendly, and it's funny. The guy

1487
01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:26,559
Speaker 1: who runs Nintendo of America, his name, I kid you

1488
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:30,439
Speaker 1: not is Doug Bowser. Doug Bowser is the guy who

1489
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:33,400
Speaker 1: runs Nintendo. I know you can't make this stuff up.

1490
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:38,320
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a wide variety of Nintendo game inspired activities.

1491
01:17:39,439 --> 01:17:44,160
Speaker 1: You can do gameplay, live entertainment, cheering on high energy

1492
01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:48,720
Speaker 1: gaming tournaments, and taking unforgettable photos with recognizable characters like

1493
01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:51,800
Speaker 1: Mario and Luigi. So they have not said when this

1494
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 1: will happen in September, the exact date I can tell you, well,

1495
01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:58,640
Speaker 1: I can't tell you actually I don't know, but I

1496
01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:01,599
Speaker 1: remember as a kid, they had this thing that I did,

1497
01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:05,040
Speaker 1: and I can't remember what it was called. It was

1498
01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:08,400
Speaker 1: like a Nintendo Challenge or something, and it was like,

1499
01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:13,240
Speaker 1: do you remember this, Lindsey, this is the Nintendo Challenge?

1500
01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:14,760
Speaker 1: You remember this thing where you'd go to like a

1501
01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:16,960
Speaker 1: game a toy store and you'd play like the video

1502
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:20,320
Speaker 1: game and try to become like the best Mario Brothers

1503
01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:23,000
Speaker 1: player ever. You don't remember doing that. I don't know why,

1504
01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:25,160
Speaker 1: but I cannot remember that me and I was a

1505
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:28,080
Speaker 1: big Nintendo fan. You did play Nintendo all the time,

1506
01:18:28,240 --> 01:18:32,679
Speaker 1: but at home in our playroom, in your playroom. Well,

1507
01:18:32,680 --> 01:18:36,439
Speaker 1: really bringing it back when people had playrooms. That was

1508
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:38,800
Speaker 1: like when your parents didn't want you to, you know,

1509
01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:41,160
Speaker 1: be there, go to the playroom. For me, it was

1510
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:43,160
Speaker 1: the basement growing up in New Jersey. That was always

1511
01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:46,920
Speaker 1: the playroom. But anyway, so I remember going to this place.

1512
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:49,960
Speaker 1: It was called Child's World. That's that's the place that

1513
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:52,519
Speaker 1: I went to as a kid. And you went It

1514
01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:53,920
Speaker 1: was a it was a toy store kind of like

1515
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:56,920
Speaker 1: Toys r US and you would go there and play

1516
01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:00,320
Speaker 1: a tournament. It was like literally, I was, I'm so

1517
01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:03,280
Speaker 1: excited for this, and it was like maybe two minutes long.

1518
01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:06,000
Speaker 1: You'd play Super Mario Brothers. As soon as you died,

1519
01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:08,040
Speaker 1: that was it. And there was like thirty other kids

1520
01:19:08,080 --> 01:19:10,600
Speaker 1: you'd play with. If anyone can remember this, email me.

1521
01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:13,280
Speaker 1: It's hello at richontech dot TV. It was kind of

1522
01:19:13,320 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 1: like there was a movie too, not The Whiz, was it? Gosh,

1523
01:19:17,439 --> 01:19:20,519
Speaker 1: now I'm really getting now the Wizard? I don't know anyway,

1524
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:24,360
Speaker 1: So I will be there hopefully in Seattle in September

1525
01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:27,439
Speaker 1: to tell you all about Nintendo Live twenty twenty three,

1526
01:19:27,479 --> 01:19:30,280
Speaker 1: because I have a feeling that's going to be quite visual.

1527
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:33,720
Speaker 1: All right, moving on, Uh, let's see, should I do

1528
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:36,639
Speaker 1: a question let's do a question. We got an email

1529
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:44,200
Speaker 1: from let's see Bo. Bo said my Netflix keeps freezing tonight.

1530
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:48,240
Speaker 1: I contacted customer service via chat. EVA says there's nothing

1531
01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:51,480
Speaker 1: she can do unless I cancel. I asked for a supervisor.

1532
01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:54,519
Speaker 1: Spoke with Justine. They take good notes. Nothing they can

1533
01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:57,760
Speaker 1: do unless I cancel. Called Netflix, spoke with someone same thing.

1534
01:19:57,840 --> 01:20:01,519
Speaker 1: Asked for a supervisor, got Stanley, couldn't give me last name,

1535
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:04,000
Speaker 1: said it was policy. He said there's nothing I could

1536
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:06,639
Speaker 1: do unless I cancel. I've been with Netflix many years.

1537
01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:08,559
Speaker 1: First time I had this issue, I spent one year

1538
01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:11,400
Speaker 1: trying to get a credit and no resolve. Customers should

1539
01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:14,439
Speaker 1: know how shady they are. This is of special interest

1540
01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:16,800
Speaker 1: as they are a most expensive streaming service there is.

1541
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:18,760
Speaker 1: Please cover this, try to get help and see they

1542
01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:19,280
Speaker 1: don't care.

1543
01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:20,960
Speaker 4: Bo.

1544
01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:25,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if Netflix is the problem. I think

1545
01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:30,680
Speaker 1: that they actually have pretty good Internet services. So my

1546
01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:33,639
Speaker 1: question to you is it's probably your setup if you're

1547
01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:36,240
Speaker 1: having trouble with streaming. I mean, there's no like, no

1548
01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:41,519
Speaker 1: Netflix issue. And if you ever wonder if Netflix is

1549
01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:44,559
Speaker 1: having a service outage, let's see if they have a

1550
01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:48,080
Speaker 1: Netflix status page. So there is a Netflix status page

1551
01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:51,960
Speaker 1: help dot Netflix dot com is Netflix down? Big green

1552
01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:54,160
Speaker 1: arrow right now says Netflix is up. We are not

1553
01:20:54,200 --> 01:20:58,040
Speaker 1: currently experiencing an interruption to our streaming service. Ninety nine

1554
01:20:58,040 --> 01:20:59,760
Speaker 1: percent of the time, when people have a problem with

1555
01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:02,840
Speaker 1: these streaming services, it is not the streaming service. It

1556
01:21:02,920 --> 01:21:06,479
Speaker 1: is their internet. It is their internet connection, specifically Wi Fi.

1557
01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:10,439
Speaker 1: That's typically what happens. All right, do I have time

1558
01:21:10,439 --> 01:21:12,640
Speaker 1: to take a call here, let's see, let's go to

1559
01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:17,439
Speaker 1: uh Claudia in Westport, Washington. Claudia, you're on with Rich.

1560
01:21:18,160 --> 01:21:22,880
Speaker 11: Yeah. Hello, I'm thanks for taking my call. I just

1561
01:21:22,920 --> 01:21:25,760
Speaker 11: got my daughter's put up a new TV. It's a

1562
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:28,880
Speaker 11: VZO for me, and they got it all set up.

1563
01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:32,640
Speaker 11: I got my DVD players. That's all hooked up, so

1564
01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:35,160
Speaker 11: the TV was working fine, you know. And I have

1565
01:21:35,280 --> 01:21:39,760
Speaker 11: row Crew by the way, not cable, and I get

1566
01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:45,240
Speaker 11: a Wi Fi signal. But I decided I wanted to

1567
01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:48,160
Speaker 11: play a DVD, so I put in a DVD I

1568
01:21:48,680 --> 01:21:51,719
Speaker 11: you know, got on my menu and selected the DVD.

1569
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:55,679
Speaker 11: That was fine, I could play that. Now my problem

1570
01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:58,280
Speaker 11: is I turn off the DVD player, I cannot get

1571
01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:00,240
Speaker 11: back to regular TV.

1572
01:22:01,280 --> 01:22:04,160
Speaker 1: And your regular TV is what the Roku interface.

1573
01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:07,640
Speaker 11: Uh yeah, but I have to I turn on my

1574
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:11,560
Speaker 11: TV with the remote from the from the television, right, okay.

1575
01:22:11,280 --> 01:22:13,040
Speaker 1: Okay, So you turn on the TV and then you

1576
01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:14,760
Speaker 1: have a Roku player attached to it.

1577
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:18,519
Speaker 11: Yes, I have. I have Roku. That's how I get

1578
01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:19,839
Speaker 11: my channels and everything.

1579
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:22,639
Speaker 1: Okay. So it sounds like when you put the DVD

1580
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:25,240
Speaker 1: in you're going to a different HDMI input correct.

1581
01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:27,760
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, that's right. Okay, but I don't know how

1582
01:22:27,760 --> 01:22:29,400
Speaker 11: to get back to the other ones. They've got like

1583
01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:32,120
Speaker 11: four choices and none of them seem to work.

1584
01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:35,559
Speaker 1: Okay, television, And just to let you know, Claudia, this

1585
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:39,759
Speaker 1: even happens to me. Okay, So if I switch HDM

1586
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:43,080
Speaker 1: my inputs on my TV, I'm not kidding. I rarely

1587
01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:45,240
Speaker 1: do it because I can never find the one I

1588
01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:47,160
Speaker 1: need to go back to. And the reason is that

1589
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:50,960
Speaker 1: you need to get the Roku on first, because it

1590
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 1: may not be sending a signal to your TV, and

1591
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:55,599
Speaker 1: if it's not, you're just going to get that black screen.

1592
01:22:56,200 --> 01:22:58,760
Speaker 1: And so you need to turn on the Roku first.

1593
01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:01,519
Speaker 1: Use the remote to turn on the Roku, not the TV,

1594
01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:04,679
Speaker 1: like you like, press something on the Roku remote, get

1595
01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:08,280
Speaker 1: that going and then switch HDMI inputs, and every time

1596
01:23:08,320 --> 01:23:12,040
Speaker 1: you switch the HDMI input, wait about ten seconds for

1597
01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:14,160
Speaker 1: it to kind of like, you know, talk back and forth,

1598
01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:17,200
Speaker 1: get the signal and hopefully one of them should settle

1599
01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:20,240
Speaker 1: onto the proper one. And then once you figure that out,

1600
01:23:20,320 --> 01:23:24,400
Speaker 1: memorize them. So if your DVD is number one, memorize

1601
01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:28,000
Speaker 1: that Roku is number three. But I'm telling you, you're

1602
01:23:28,040 --> 01:23:30,240
Speaker 1: calling and this sounds like, you know, a question that

1603
01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:33,000
Speaker 1: seems like it would be really simple, and you probably

1604
01:23:33,040 --> 01:23:34,880
Speaker 1: feel like, oh my gosh, I can't but believe me,

1605
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:37,400
Speaker 1: this happens to everyone. My kid is nodding his head.

1606
01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 1: I've got my eight year old here, Claudia, and he's

1607
01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:42,719
Speaker 1: you've seen this happen at our house when Dad switches

1608
01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:44,360
Speaker 1: the TV and I can't figure out the one that

1609
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:45,160
Speaker 1: goes back to right.

1610
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:48,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, I seen it happen at our house.

1611
01:23:48,840 --> 01:23:51,680
Speaker 1: In fact, we have labels on our HDMI inputs. I

1612
01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:54,800
Speaker 1: actually went through it labeled them. And the problem is

1613
01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:57,360
Speaker 1: I've changed the things that are connected to those inputs

1614
01:23:57,920 --> 01:24:00,439
Speaker 1: and now the labels are wrong, so I can't rely

1615
01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:00,960
Speaker 1: on the label.

1616
01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:03,920
Speaker 11: So Claudia, that's what my daughter did. She she she

1617
01:24:04,080 --> 01:24:07,160
Speaker 11: labeled by remote and put this on this and do

1618
01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:09,479
Speaker 11: not touch this button and all that kind of stuff.

1619
01:24:10,240 --> 01:24:13,120
Speaker 11: I don't even I'm okay, I got my rod too

1620
01:24:13,320 --> 01:24:17,240
Speaker 11: remote and my hand and I'm trying to turn it

1621
01:24:17,280 --> 01:24:20,920
Speaker 11: on and it's on. It's got the little red light

1622
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:21,799
Speaker 11: on it and everything.

1623
01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:24,679
Speaker 1: But if that's not working, the other thing you could

1624
01:24:24,680 --> 01:24:26,760
Speaker 1: do is pull the power plug out of the back

1625
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:29,600
Speaker 1: of the Roku and and get that and you know,

1626
01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:31,040
Speaker 1: get that back on. The other thing you could do.

1627
01:24:31,080 --> 01:24:31,960
Speaker 1: How old is this TV?

1628
01:24:34,600 --> 01:24:38,479
Speaker 11: No, you know what. I don't know because she she

1629
01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:42,559
Speaker 11: had it storage, but I think it's at least five years.

1630
01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:46,200
Speaker 1: Okay, there's a feature on the TV and it sounds

1631
01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:49,040
Speaker 1: like your daughter is a little bit tech savvy because

1632
01:24:49,040 --> 01:24:50,960
Speaker 1: she's got that sticker on the remote that says do

1633
01:24:51,040 --> 01:24:53,559
Speaker 1: not touch this button, so she knows what she's doing.

1634
01:24:54,479 --> 01:24:58,559
Speaker 1: There's a thing called ARC support on the TV E

1635
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:01,679
Speaker 1: ARC and so what that does is this will allow

1636
01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:08,200
Speaker 1: the Roku to actually toggle the TV Hdmi to its

1637
01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:11,760
Speaker 1: input when you press a button on the Roku remote,

1638
01:25:12,080 --> 01:25:14,840
Speaker 1: so like the home button or the select button. So

1639
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:17,559
Speaker 1: I would also ask your daughter to maybe see if

1640
01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:20,880
Speaker 1: that option in Roku is set up. It's called ARC

1641
01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:26,000
Speaker 1: or ARC and so that should Sorry, sorry, I'm telling

1642
01:25:26,040 --> 01:25:29,320
Speaker 1: you the wrong thing. It's actually CEC. This is a

1643
01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:33,679
Speaker 1: different control, and that's HDMI, which basically allows these modern

1644
01:25:33,680 --> 01:25:36,559
Speaker 1: devices to talk to each other, and if you get

1645
01:25:36,560 --> 01:25:39,160
Speaker 1: them to talk to each other, they will turn each

1646
01:25:39,160 --> 01:25:40,920
Speaker 1: other on and off and that kind of stuff when

1647
01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:43,160
Speaker 1: you press the button on the remote. But personally, I

1648
01:25:43,160 --> 01:25:45,639
Speaker 1: think you just figure out which input these things are on.

1649
01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:49,120
Speaker 1: If worse comes to worse, Claudia, you can follow the

1650
01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:52,639
Speaker 1: HDMI cable from the back of the Roku into where

1651
01:25:52,680 --> 01:25:55,679
Speaker 1: it inputs on your TV, and that should be labeled

1652
01:25:55,680 --> 01:25:58,400
Speaker 1: on the back of your TV, and that way you

1653
01:25:58,479 --> 01:26:01,320
Speaker 1: know that's the one to tune into. So that's what

1654
01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:03,080
Speaker 1: I would do. I know it's a pain sometimes with

1655
01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:05,880
Speaker 1: these HDMI inputs, but maybe just stick to the to

1656
01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:08,280
Speaker 1: the Roku, all right. Coming up on the show, we

1657
01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:10,679
Speaker 1: are going to talk to Matt Swider about the best

1658

01:27:41,520 --> 01:27:42,439
Speaker 1: What can I help you with?

1684
01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:48,280
Speaker 12: Well, I'm looking for a basic you know, Bluetooth speaker.

1685
01:27:48,360 --> 01:27:52,040
Speaker 12: I've gone online, I've checked the reviews and everyone has

1686
01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:52,720
Speaker 12: the best one.

1687
01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:53,120
Speaker 4: Yep.

1688
01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:55,960
Speaker 12: And I'm really confused. So I'm looking just for something

1689
01:27:55,960 --> 01:27:57,600
Speaker 12: that play, you know, that I can put in the

1690
01:27:57,640 --> 01:27:59,160
Speaker 12: house and get good sound from.

1691
01:27:59,240 --> 01:28:00,840
Speaker 1: Okay, how much you looking to spend?

1692
01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:05,080
Speaker 12: You know, I don't want to go top of the line,

1693
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:06,880
Speaker 12: you know, somewhere in the middle of something that's good.

1694
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:10,160
Speaker 1: Okay, So I'll tell you some of my favorites and

1695
01:28:10,200 --> 01:28:11,800
Speaker 1: then you can go from there. But I'll tell you

1696
01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:15,240
Speaker 1: I've got my absolute, absolute favorite speaker, and this is

1697
01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:18,160
Speaker 1: probably overkill. This is the best thing I purchased during

1698
01:28:18,200 --> 01:28:22,439
Speaker 1: the pandemic is the Sos Move. This one's a little expensive,

1699
01:28:22,479 --> 01:28:26,080
Speaker 1: it's four hundred dollars, but it's one of my absolute

1700
01:28:26,080 --> 01:28:29,519
Speaker 1: favorite Bluetooth speakers because not only does it work with

1701
01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:32,559
Speaker 1: Sonos if you have that, which sounds like you don't,

1702
01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:35,920
Speaker 1: so okay, but it's also it's Bluetooth and Wi Fi

1703
01:28:36,439 --> 01:28:38,960
Speaker 1: and it works with Apple Airplay and all these different things,

1704
01:28:39,040 --> 01:28:42,040
Speaker 1: and so that's my most versatile speaker. What I like

1705
01:28:42,120 --> 01:28:44,439
Speaker 1: about it is that it sits on a charging pad,

1706
01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:46,680
Speaker 1: so it's always charged. And that's the problem with some

1707
01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:48,960
Speaker 1: of these Bluetooth speakers is that you get them and

1708
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:50,800
Speaker 1: then they're not charged when you want to use them.

1709
01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:54,000
Speaker 1: Now that's on the high end. Okay, Now if you

1710
01:28:54,160 --> 01:28:57,799
Speaker 1: step on half of that. For about two hundred dollars,

1711
01:28:58,120 --> 01:29:00,559
Speaker 1: you can get the sons Roam And you can tell

1712
01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:03,120
Speaker 1: I really like the Sonos products because they just work

1713
01:29:03,240 --> 01:29:06,760
Speaker 1: really well. Now the Rome, I can tell you it's

1714
01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:09,280
Speaker 1: about I think it's about one seventy nine. This is

1715
01:29:09,520 --> 01:29:11,599
Speaker 1: another great speaker that I've purchased. And the reason I

1716
01:29:11,680 --> 01:29:14,280
Speaker 1: like this is because while the Move is really heavy

1717
01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:16,040
Speaker 1: and it works really well and you can bring it

1718
01:29:16,080 --> 01:29:17,880
Speaker 1: in to your backyard, the Rome is really light, but

1719
01:29:17,920 --> 01:29:21,320
Speaker 1: it's also rechargeable. They also make a little charger, a

1720
01:29:21,360 --> 01:29:24,200
Speaker 1: wireless charger that it can sit upon, although I just

1721
01:29:24,240 --> 01:29:27,200
Speaker 1: keep mine plugged in at all times with USBC. But

1722
01:29:27,360 --> 01:29:29,640
Speaker 1: this thing is waterproof, which is nice, so you can

1723
01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:31,360
Speaker 1: take it out in the water and the rain, by

1724
01:29:31,400 --> 01:29:33,759
Speaker 1: the pool whatever. But I will tell you my wife

1725
01:29:33,760 --> 01:29:35,840
Speaker 1: can attest to this that we ran it through the

1726
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:39,519
Speaker 1: washing machine by accident, and you found this in the

1727
01:29:39,640 --> 01:29:40,599
Speaker 1: washing machine, right.

1728
01:29:41,160 --> 01:29:43,439
Speaker 3: I did, and I was a little worried it would

1729
01:29:43,479 --> 01:29:45,240
Speaker 3: never work again, and it did somehow.

1730
01:29:45,280 --> 01:29:47,439
Speaker 1: But somehow it works because we brought it to Hawaii

1731
01:29:47,520 --> 01:29:50,639
Speaker 1: and it still works and there's no crackling. There's no problem,

1732
01:29:50,760 --> 01:29:52,880
Speaker 1: so I can tell you the Rome by Sonos is

1733
01:29:52,960 --> 01:29:57,680
Speaker 1: really well made. After that, if you want something that's inexpensive,

1734
01:29:57,760 --> 01:30:01,400
Speaker 1: I would say my favorite speakers are the Ultimate Ears.

1735
01:30:01,800 --> 01:30:03,920
Speaker 1: And I'm not the only person that says this. Mitch,

1736
01:30:03,960 --> 01:30:06,920
Speaker 1: you said you looked at reviews. Many people concur that

1737
01:30:07,120 --> 01:30:10,800
Speaker 1: Ultimate Years makes great speakers, and I would you know.

1738
01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:13,719
Speaker 1: They have them in a wide range of pricing points,

1739
01:30:14,040 --> 01:30:16,280
Speaker 1: so you can go anywhere from the Wonder Boom three

1740
01:30:16,320 --> 01:30:19,000
Speaker 1: which is one hundred dollars, to the Boom three which

1741
01:30:19,040 --> 01:30:21,559
Speaker 1: is one point fifty up to the Megaboom which is

1742
01:30:21,600 --> 01:30:24,759
Speaker 1: two hundred, to the hyper Boom which is four forty nine.

1743
01:30:25,040 --> 01:30:27,599
Speaker 1: Not that four forty nine or two hundred. I'd probably

1744
01:30:27,600 --> 01:30:30,960
Speaker 1: go with the Sono speakers I mentioned. But Ultimate Ears

1745
01:30:31,120 --> 01:30:33,920
Speaker 1: has a great speaker. I've recommended this to many many

1746
01:30:33,960 --> 01:30:37,880
Speaker 1: people over the years. They are also water resistant, most

1747
01:30:37,880 --> 01:30:41,760
Speaker 1: of them, I believe, and they're great. The battery lasts

1748
01:30:41,800 --> 01:30:44,760
Speaker 1: a long time, the sound is fantastic, and you can

1749
01:30:44,800 --> 01:30:47,920
Speaker 1: find them anywhere. My advice for any of these speakers

1750
01:30:48,120 --> 01:30:51,320
Speaker 1: is to wait for a deal. Ultimate Year stuff does

1751
01:30:51,360 --> 01:30:54,000
Speaker 1: go on sale once in a while. Sono stuff will

1752
01:30:54,040 --> 01:30:56,679
Speaker 1: go on sale once in a while as well. Thanks

1753
01:30:56,680 --> 01:31:00,000
Speaker 1: for calling Mitch. Hopefully that answers your question. All right, Tam,

1754
01:31:00,240 --> 01:31:01,880
Speaker 1: we've got two minutes. I'm gonna give you the question.

1755
01:31:01,960 --> 01:31:05,400
Speaker 1: Go ahead. We've got an email from Art. What does

1756
01:31:05,520 --> 01:31:05,920
Speaker 1: Art say?

1757
01:31:06,360 --> 01:31:09,680
Speaker 8: Good morning, Rich enjoy listening and seeing you on KTLA.

1758
01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:13,200
Speaker 8: Is there any way to stop giving spam emails from

1759
01:31:13,240 --> 01:31:19,680
Speaker 8: Walmart Rewards, ACE Rewards, etc. I delete them and report spam,

1760
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:21,479
Speaker 8: but they just keep showing up.

1761
01:31:21,760 --> 01:31:24,920
Speaker 1: Thank you Art, thank you Ark, and thank you Tanner

1762
01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:27,800
Speaker 1: for reading that great question. And this is a problem

1763
01:31:27,880 --> 01:31:31,360
Speaker 1: that many people have, including myself. So I get these

1764
01:31:31,400 --> 01:31:34,880
Speaker 1: emails as well from like Walmart rewards, Home Depot rewards,

1765
01:31:35,200 --> 01:31:37,759
Speaker 1: and it's like spam, and then you have regular spam.

1766
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:41,760
Speaker 1: So here is my quick primer on spam. If you

1767
01:31:41,800 --> 01:31:45,400
Speaker 1: get an email like the Walmart rewards, the home Depot rewards,

1768
01:31:45,439 --> 01:31:47,519
Speaker 1: do not open it and do not click on any

1769
01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:50,719
Speaker 1: links in it. Send it to the trash immediately without

1770
01:31:50,720 --> 01:31:52,759
Speaker 1: opening it. As soon as you open one of these emails,

1771
01:31:52,760 --> 01:31:56,120
Speaker 1: these unsolicited spam emails, it sends a signal to these

1772
01:31:56,160 --> 01:31:59,240
Speaker 1: spammers that oh, we got a good email address and

1773
01:31:59,280 --> 01:32:01,200
Speaker 1: they're going to send you more. The other thing I

1774
01:32:01,200 --> 01:32:05,200
Speaker 1: would do is turn off load remote images on your

1775
01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:08,479
Speaker 1: email program. That means that all these little tracking pixels

1776
01:32:08,479 --> 01:32:11,360
Speaker 1: that these spammers put in these emails will not work.

1777
01:32:11,400 --> 01:32:13,599
Speaker 1: It will not tell them that these emails were loaded.

1778
01:32:13,960 --> 01:32:16,519
Speaker 1: So if you can turn off load remote images on

1779
01:32:16,560 --> 01:32:18,439
Speaker 1: your emails, that should help cut down on some of

1780
01:32:18,479 --> 01:32:22,880
Speaker 1: this stuff. Otherwise, unsubscribe to legitimate emails. So if you're

1781
01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:25,360
Speaker 1: getting a legitimate email from a company like Macy's or

1782
01:32:25,360 --> 01:32:29,080
Speaker 1: Home Depot, you can safely unsubscribe. Otherwise, do not click

1783
01:32:29,120 --> 01:32:32,680
Speaker 1: links and the unsolicited stuff, send them right to spam.

1784
01:32:33,080 --> 01:32:35,200
Speaker 1: Coming up next, Matt Swider is going to talk Super

1785
01:32:35,240 --> 01:32:37,880
Speaker 1: Mario Brothers movie and the best format to see it in.

1786
01:32:38,880 --> 01:32:43,080
Speaker 1: This is rich On Tech. Welcome back to rich On Tech.

1787
01:32:43,200 --> 01:32:46,439
Speaker 1: Rich Demiro here hanging out talking technology with you at

1788
01:32:46,560 --> 01:32:49,160
Speaker 1: Triple eight rich one O one eight eight eight seven

1789
01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:53,040
Speaker 1: four to two four to one zero one in the

1790
01:32:53,040 --> 01:32:56,479
Speaker 1: studio with me my son eight years old. Tanner, Welcome

1791
01:32:56,520 --> 01:33:00,160
Speaker 1: to the show. So we are going to talk per

1792
01:33:00,240 --> 01:33:02,519
Speaker 1: Mario Brothers movie. We went and saw it last night

1793
01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:05,680
Speaker 1: and you have your review. Do you want to give

1794
01:33:05,680 --> 01:33:07,759
Speaker 1: me a review of the movie, Tanner? Go ahead.

1795
01:33:07,880 --> 01:33:10,880
Speaker 8: I think the Mario movie is great. I would give

1796
01:33:10,920 --> 01:33:12,200
Speaker 8: it a nine out of ten.

1797
01:33:14,280 --> 01:33:14,360
Speaker 10: Like.

1798
01:33:15,280 --> 01:33:17,280
Speaker 8: The reason I would give it a night out of

1799
01:33:17,360 --> 01:33:20,920
Speaker 8: ten is because it could have a little been a

1800
01:33:21,000 --> 01:33:22,560
Speaker 8: little bit more longer.

1801
01:33:23,520 --> 01:33:26,200
Speaker 1: Oh you want it the longer movie and more action,

1802
01:33:26,640 --> 01:33:28,599
Speaker 1: more action. I thought I had a lot of action

1803
01:33:28,680 --> 01:33:31,360
Speaker 1: that was very long. So my feeling on this movie

1804
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:34,799
Speaker 1: is that it was really good. It will definitely appeal

1805
01:33:34,920 --> 01:33:39,000
Speaker 1: to adults and kids alike. It had all the music

1806
01:33:39,040 --> 01:33:42,400
Speaker 1: that I loved from my childhood. But you can't go

1807
01:33:42,439 --> 01:33:46,200
Speaker 1: in with super high expectations. Let's bring on Matt Swider,

1808
01:33:46,280 --> 01:33:50,519
Speaker 1: friend of the show. Matt Is of the shortcut dot com. Matt,

1809
01:33:50,520 --> 01:33:51,639
Speaker 1: thanks for joining me today.

1810
01:33:52,600 --> 01:33:53,439
Speaker 12: Hi. How you doing.

1811
01:33:53,680 --> 01:33:53,840
Speaker 3: Hi?

1812
01:33:54,200 --> 01:33:55,800
Speaker 12: I also give it a nine out of ten.

1813
01:33:55,880 --> 01:33:58,280
Speaker 1: You give it an you agree with my child? Now

1814
01:33:58,479 --> 01:34:01,759
Speaker 1: Matt has seen this movie? Is it five times?

1815
01:34:02,240 --> 01:34:02,880
Speaker 12: Five times?

1816
01:34:02,920 --> 01:34:03,320
Speaker 4: So far?

1817
01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:04,479
Speaker 12: I may go for six?

1818
01:34:04,680 --> 01:34:05,280
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.

1819
01:34:05,479 --> 01:34:08,840
Speaker 12: Now I saw it in all the formats that you

1820
01:34:08,880 --> 01:34:11,120
Speaker 12: could see it in. I saw in three D, I

1821
01:34:11,160 --> 01:34:13,400
Speaker 12: saw in IMAX. That was the first time I saw it.

1822
01:34:13,760 --> 01:34:16,360
Speaker 12: Four DX, which is like it has moving chairs and

1823
01:34:16,400 --> 01:34:17,760
Speaker 12: that was kind of like a little bit like a

1824
01:34:17,840 --> 01:34:21,680
Speaker 12: roller coaster. And then my favorite was Dolby Cinema and

1825
01:34:21,920 --> 01:34:26,040
Speaker 12: that was a really clear picture. But I also liked

1826
01:34:26,080 --> 01:34:28,960
Speaker 12: the four D X version, which I know is not

1827
01:34:29,040 --> 01:34:32,360
Speaker 12: everybody's cup of tea, but being on a ninety two

1828
01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:34,920
Speaker 12: minute roller coaster can be kind of fun, if that's

1829
01:34:34,960 --> 01:34:35,559
Speaker 12: up your alley.

1830
01:34:36,080 --> 01:34:39,599
Speaker 1: Now, we ended up seeing it in Dolby Cinema because

1831
01:34:39,640 --> 01:34:44,200
Speaker 1: of you, because I was literally researching my tickets and

1832
01:34:44,400 --> 01:34:46,519
Speaker 1: I was going to buy the IMAX tickets, and then

1833
01:34:46,560 --> 01:34:49,759
Speaker 1: I saw your post at the shortcut dot com saying

1834
01:34:49,880 --> 01:34:52,160
Speaker 1: I saw the Super Mario Brothers movie in every format

1835
01:34:52,200 --> 01:34:53,920
Speaker 1: possible and this is the best one. I said, ooh,

1836
01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:55,960
Speaker 1: let me see what he says, and so I read

1837
01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:58,280
Speaker 1: the whole thing and you came to the conclusion of

1838
01:34:58,439 --> 01:35:01,439
Speaker 1: the Dolby Cinema and I canceled the tickets for the

1839
01:35:01,439 --> 01:35:04,240
Speaker 1: IMAX and I bought the cinema. What do you think

1840
01:35:04,439 --> 01:35:06,760
Speaker 1: is the kind of difference between those two formats?

1841
01:35:10,280 --> 01:35:10,479
Speaker 4: Oh?

1842
01:35:10,640 --> 01:35:11,479
Speaker 1: Do we lose Matt?

1843
01:35:12,439 --> 01:35:12,639
Speaker 6: Oh?

1844
01:35:12,680 --> 01:35:16,280
Speaker 1: I think we lost him. I guess Matt. I don't

1845
01:35:16,320 --> 01:35:18,800
Speaker 1: know what happened. Okay, So while we get Matt back

1846
01:35:18,840 --> 01:35:21,840
Speaker 1: on the line, let's see here, can I bring Matt?

1847
01:35:21,880 --> 01:35:22,240
Speaker 1: Are you there?

1848
01:35:22,280 --> 01:35:22,559
Speaker 6: Still?

1849
01:35:22,800 --> 01:35:23,040
Speaker 12: Yeah?

1850
01:35:23,160 --> 01:35:23,479
Speaker 4: Sorry?

1851
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:24,960
Speaker 12: For some reason, there you go.

1852
01:35:25,240 --> 01:35:26,720
Speaker 1: So I don't know if you heard my question, but

1853
01:35:26,840 --> 01:35:29,639
Speaker 1: you know, I basically went and saw in the Dolby

1854
01:35:29,720 --> 01:35:32,439
Speaker 1: Cinema format. What do you think is the difference between

1855
01:35:32,439 --> 01:35:33,920
Speaker 1: these formats these days?

1856
01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:36,920
Speaker 12: I think it's a little bit bigger of a screen,

1857
01:35:37,640 --> 01:35:43,280
Speaker 12: and the contrast ratio is definitely the projector is definitely

1858
01:35:43,400 --> 01:35:46,320
Speaker 12: better than your standard two D picture that's out there.

1859
01:35:46,400 --> 01:35:49,559
Speaker 12: That kind of is slowly being replaced a lot of

1860
01:35:49,560 --> 01:35:51,599
Speaker 12: the older cinemas out there, a lot of the older

1861
01:35:51,640 --> 01:35:55,360
Speaker 12: theaters have older objectors. So whether you're going for you know,

1862
01:35:55,439 --> 01:35:59,519
Speaker 12: Dolby Cinema or they have like the Imax laser, it's

1863
01:35:59,760 --> 01:36:03,720
Speaker 12: new advanced technology that is kind of modernizing, just like

1864
01:36:03,760 --> 01:36:08,120
Speaker 12: your TV. You know, the HDR, the contrast ratio so

1865
01:36:08,520 --> 01:36:13,559
Speaker 12: you know, black or blacks and brighter brights within a reason.

1866
01:36:13,600 --> 01:36:17,639
Speaker 12: So I could really tell a difference on My favorite

1867
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:21,800
Speaker 12: like tell was the detail of Mario's hat. It has

1868
01:36:21,880 --> 01:36:23,720
Speaker 12: a lot of you know, like texture there, like you

1869
01:36:23,720 --> 01:36:26,200
Speaker 12: would see in a nice fabric. And I could see

1870
01:36:26,200 --> 01:36:27,680
Speaker 12: that on the Imax, and I can see that in

1871
01:36:27,680 --> 01:36:30,240
Speaker 12: the Dolby. But then I began to lose it on

1872
01:36:30,280 --> 01:36:33,360
Speaker 12: the three D pictures which I saw on a smaller

1873
01:36:33,400 --> 01:36:36,479
Speaker 12: screen in that case, and also two D, like a

1874
01:36:36,520 --> 01:36:40,560
Speaker 12: lot of that detail really faded, but almost like Mario's

1875
01:36:41,360 --> 01:36:44,720
Speaker 12: overalls were almost looked fuzzy because they look so realistic

1876
01:36:44,800 --> 01:36:47,080
Speaker 12: on Imax and on the Dolbie Cinema.

1877
01:36:47,360 --> 01:36:49,559
Speaker 1: Yeah. I actually turned to my wife at one point

1878
01:36:49,640 --> 01:36:53,000
Speaker 1: during the movie and said, can you believe the graphics

1879
01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:56,240
Speaker 1: of this movie. It's they're so clear and so good

1880
01:36:56,920 --> 01:37:00,280
Speaker 1: that it's it's almost like a next generation of kind

1881
01:37:00,320 --> 01:37:02,519
Speaker 1: of like you said, if you can see it in

1882
01:37:02,560 --> 01:37:05,719
Speaker 1: these formats that reveal that you really get to enjoy

1883
01:37:05,760 --> 01:37:08,040
Speaker 1: with these with these people that made this movie had

1884
01:37:08,080 --> 01:37:12,080
Speaker 1: in mind. Absolutely Okay, So with the Dolby Cinema, the

1885
01:37:12,160 --> 01:37:15,960
Speaker 1: Dolby Cinema and the Imax, Uh are those two the same?

1886
01:37:16,120 --> 01:37:18,000
Speaker 1: Like what are they just like different brands or what?

1887
01:37:18,920 --> 01:37:22,879
Speaker 12: So there are different brands. It depends on the Imax.

1888
01:37:22,920 --> 01:37:26,280
Speaker 12: It is really like a larger screen and it's taller

1889
01:37:26,320 --> 01:37:29,640
Speaker 12: than your usual format. So the one I saw in

1890
01:37:29,680 --> 01:37:35,360
Speaker 12: New York City is the largest Imax in the in

1891
01:37:35,400 --> 01:37:36,240
Speaker 12: the country, in the in.

1892
01:37:36,200 --> 01:37:37,240
Speaker 1: The US, oh wow.

1893
01:37:37,720 --> 01:37:38,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, And the.

1894
01:37:38,320 --> 01:37:41,160
Speaker 12: Second largest is in San Francisco. So I lucked out,

1895
01:37:41,240 --> 01:37:43,439
Speaker 12: you know, being in New York City to go to that,

1896
01:37:44,040 --> 01:37:48,000
Speaker 12: but people there's also an IMAX experience, which they kind

1897
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:52,120
Speaker 12: of retrofitted existing theaters to be a little bit larger

1898
01:37:52,160 --> 01:37:54,799
Speaker 12: and have that larger, taller format, but it's not quite

1899
01:37:55,200 --> 01:37:59,120
Speaker 12: the real imax that is, you know, what everybody knows

1900
01:37:59,120 --> 01:38:01,479
Speaker 12: and loves, where it's like a giant screen. I did

1901
01:38:01,520 --> 01:38:03,960
Speaker 12: think that it took away from a little bit of

1902
01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:06,400
Speaker 12: the action because it was almost seeing it with like

1903
01:38:06,840 --> 01:38:08,800
Speaker 12: it felt like a thousand other people. The configure is

1904
01:38:08,800 --> 01:38:12,439
Speaker 12: not quite that large many seats, but it felt almost

1905
01:38:12,479 --> 01:38:14,080
Speaker 12: too big for its own goods. So when I went

1906
01:38:14,120 --> 01:38:16,000
Speaker 12: to the Dolby, I had a lot of space in

1907
01:38:16,040 --> 01:38:18,800
Speaker 12: between me and other people the more comfortable seats, and

1908
01:38:18,880 --> 01:38:21,760
Speaker 12: it felt like I was just tuning in on a

1909
01:38:21,800 --> 01:38:25,360
Speaker 12: giant screen that was in my living room versus, you know,

1910
01:38:25,479 --> 01:38:27,280
Speaker 12: something where I'm at like a stadium.

1911
01:38:28,040 --> 01:38:30,240
Speaker 4: But they both have unique, cool experiences.

1912
01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:32,760
Speaker 1: And that's the other part of this is that even

1913
01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:35,679
Speaker 1: though I love the at home movie experience, there's still

1914
01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:40,280
Speaker 1: you can't compare to the movie theater experience, and it's

1915
01:38:40,400 --> 01:38:42,800
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, people were back in the theater. I

1916
01:38:42,840 --> 01:38:44,640
Speaker 1: mean it really was. You know. My wife and I

1917
01:38:44,680 --> 01:38:46,479
Speaker 1: were talking about this last night too, like how we thought,

1918
01:38:46,760 --> 01:38:48,639
Speaker 1: you know, movie theaters, you would never go back after

1919
01:38:48,720 --> 01:38:50,880
Speaker 1: COVID and now here we are and it was packed.

1920
01:38:50,920 --> 01:38:54,400
Speaker 1: So okay, let's talk about some of the movie itself,

1921
01:38:54,479 --> 01:38:57,600
Speaker 1: because I've got my kid here and Tanner. What was

1922
01:38:57,640 --> 01:38:59,559
Speaker 1: your favorite like character in the movie.

1923
01:38:59,560 --> 01:39:02,080
Speaker 8: Did you have a you know, I kind of did

1924
01:39:02,160 --> 01:39:03,560
Speaker 8: actually have a favorite?

1925
01:39:03,960 --> 01:39:07,040
Speaker 1: What was it? You've got Mario, because.

1926
01:39:06,920 --> 01:39:09,360
Speaker 8: Mario or Peach or Luigi?

1927
01:39:09,600 --> 01:39:09,760
Speaker 2: Uh?

1928
01:39:10,320 --> 01:39:12,840
Speaker 8: My personal favorite was Luigi.

1929
01:39:13,080 --> 01:39:14,320
Speaker 1: Oh you like Luigi? Huh?

1930
01:39:14,400 --> 01:39:17,679
Speaker 8: I like how he always carried around like plumbing bag.

1931
01:39:18,960 --> 01:39:21,519
Speaker 1: What about the what about the Okay, there's two characters

1932
01:39:21,560 --> 01:39:23,680
Speaker 1: I really liked. There was the Toad character, which I

1933
01:39:23,680 --> 01:39:26,160
Speaker 1: thought was really funny. But then there's that like weird

1934
01:39:26,320 --> 01:39:31,519
Speaker 1: star that was like really like dark, right, what was

1935
01:39:31,520 --> 01:39:34,400
Speaker 1: the deal with that thing? And then Bowser. I thought

1936
01:39:34,479 --> 01:39:38,120
Speaker 1: Bowser was a little I don't know, like you like

1937
01:39:38,200 --> 01:39:40,880
Speaker 1: it's weird. And Matt, I'm sure you can understand this too.

1938
01:39:40,920 --> 01:39:44,200
Speaker 1: It's like whenever you're bringing Ip to life, there's always

1939
01:39:44,240 --> 01:39:45,679
Speaker 1: this like major danger.

1940
01:39:45,720 --> 01:39:45,880
Speaker 4: You know.

1941
01:39:45,920 --> 01:39:48,320
Speaker 1: It's like kind of like meeting your favorite celebrity. You

1942
01:39:48,320 --> 01:39:50,880
Speaker 1: don't want to be disappointed right by meeting them. In person.

1943
01:39:51,240 --> 01:39:53,559
Speaker 1: That's the way I feel they're walking this very fine

1944
01:39:53,600 --> 01:39:56,839
Speaker 1: line with bringing like your favorite Mario and Nintendo characters

1945
01:39:56,840 --> 01:39:58,920
Speaker 1: to life. You don't want to not like them because

1946
01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:01,040
Speaker 1: you've liked them for so many on the video game.

1947
01:40:02,040 --> 01:40:05,760
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think Jack Black had a tough job but

1948
01:40:05,840 --> 01:40:10,000
Speaker 12: pulled it off in that Bowser would just like in

1949
01:40:10,040 --> 01:40:12,680
Speaker 12: most video games, grunt and not really have a lot

1950
01:40:12,720 --> 01:40:15,799
Speaker 12: of dialogue. So this is really the first time where

1951
01:40:16,120 --> 01:40:18,679
Speaker 12: we have a lot of dialogue being brought to life.

1952
01:40:18,720 --> 01:40:21,360
Speaker 12: So I think you did a good job. In the beginning,

1953
01:40:22,120 --> 01:40:24,760
Speaker 12: a lot of the little kids were very scared, but

1954
01:40:24,800 --> 01:40:27,439
Speaker 12: then he got a little silly, so I think that

1955
01:40:27,520 --> 01:40:30,519
Speaker 12: kind of eased some of that you know, fear in

1956
01:40:30,600 --> 01:40:31,120
Speaker 12: some of like the.

1957
01:40:31,080 --> 01:40:31,920
Speaker 4: Really little kids.

1958
01:40:32,040 --> 01:40:34,519
Speaker 12: I would say, if you're going to bring little kids

1959
01:40:34,560 --> 01:40:37,519
Speaker 12: to scream at Bowser for ninety two minutes, I think

1960
01:40:37,520 --> 01:40:40,800
Speaker 12: the forty X is the version to go to because

1961
01:40:40,800 --> 01:40:42,960
Speaker 12: there was other little kids doing the same thing. And

1962
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:46,720
Speaker 12: that's because like it's almost like a ride being in

1963
01:40:46,760 --> 01:40:49,240
Speaker 12: that seat that moves, So if you want to kind

1964
01:40:49,240 --> 01:40:50,960
Speaker 12: of cover for the fact that your kids are going

1965
01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:53,200
Speaker 12: to scream, that's the version of go to, because they'll

1966
01:40:53,240 --> 01:40:54,800
Speaker 12: be with other kids doing that same thing.

1967
01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:57,400
Speaker 1: I've actually never seen a movie in forty X. Can

1968
01:40:57,439 --> 01:40:58,600
Speaker 1: you explain what that is?

1969
01:40:58,880 --> 01:41:05,120
Speaker 12: Yeah, so it has like twenty one different sensory kind

1970
01:41:05,120 --> 01:41:08,320
Speaker 12: of motion. So there's there's water that gets spit out

1971
01:41:08,320 --> 01:41:10,560
Speaker 12: at you, both from the front of the railing or

1972
01:41:10,640 --> 01:41:12,120
Speaker 12: the person seen in front of you, if not in

1973
01:41:12,160 --> 01:41:15,280
Speaker 12: the front section like I was. And then there's myst

1974
01:41:15,320 --> 01:41:19,360
Speaker 12: that comes down. There's air that comes from the back

1975
01:41:19,400 --> 01:41:21,720
Speaker 12: of the seat. So if you're like flying through the

1976
01:41:21,720 --> 01:41:24,080
Speaker 12: air on a Mario Kart like that type of thing,

1977
01:41:24,160 --> 01:41:28,280
Speaker 12: will will have some some like air effects. And then

1978
01:41:28,400 --> 01:41:32,320
Speaker 12: there's the moving seats, so they almost move like you

1979
01:41:32,360 --> 01:41:35,360
Speaker 12: would imagine in like one of those Disney three D theater,

1980
01:41:35,479 --> 01:41:38,400
Speaker 12: So everything's in in three d's, but the forty comes

1981
01:41:38,439 --> 01:41:42,639
Speaker 12: with those like sensory effects. There's also smell and there's heat,

1982
01:41:42,800 --> 01:41:45,120
Speaker 12: but I didn't really experience that in this particular theater.

1983
01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:47,200
Speaker 12: I did experience that when I saw one of the

1984
01:41:47,200 --> 01:41:50,479
Speaker 12: Transformers movies in Los Angeles back when they first opened up.

1985
01:41:50,760 --> 01:41:53,639
Speaker 1: Okay, I was corrected by Tanner. Tanner, We did see

1986
01:41:53,640 --> 01:41:57,360
Speaker 1: a forty movie right where I kind.

1987
01:41:57,200 --> 01:42:00,440
Speaker 8: Of remember it at Legoland.

1988
01:42:00,080 --> 01:42:02,080
Speaker 1: And yeah, it was Lego Land, New York.

1989
01:42:02,240 --> 01:42:05,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, like when that there was a criminals trying to

1990
01:42:05,240 --> 01:42:09,559
Speaker 8: steal just a hot and the cops were like, we

1991
01:42:09,640 --> 01:42:12,360
Speaker 8: got it was a really hot day. So I was

1992
01:42:12,439 --> 01:42:17,240
Speaker 8: kind of happy to get wet in that movie. But

1993
01:42:17,600 --> 01:42:21,240
Speaker 8: it was kind of weird how the air went on

1994
01:42:21,320 --> 01:42:22,040
Speaker 8: like my neck.

1995
01:42:22,560 --> 01:42:25,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like the the So you're you're in

1996
01:42:25,080 --> 01:42:27,200
Speaker 1: New York, Matt, there's that new Lego Land up in

1997
01:42:27,680 --> 01:42:29,719
Speaker 1: gosh in New York. And we went to the opening

1998
01:42:29,840 --> 01:42:32,400
Speaker 1: and they had a four D movie adventure there, so

1999
01:42:32,880 --> 01:42:34,479
Speaker 1: that I did. I did see and they had like

2000
01:42:34,520 --> 01:42:36,280
Speaker 1: I think foam came down from the ceiling like it

2001
01:42:36,840 --> 01:42:38,519
Speaker 1: wasn't It wasn't like one of the standard ones that

2002
01:42:38,520 --> 01:42:40,760
Speaker 1: you're talking about from like Regal or whatever. This other

2003
01:42:41,080 --> 01:42:43,240
Speaker 1: member D Box I think was that one of the companies.

2004
01:42:43,960 --> 01:42:45,160
Speaker 12: Yeah, another one.

2005
01:42:45,520 --> 01:42:48,719
Speaker 1: So anyway, all right, So bottom line on Super Mario Brothers.

2006
01:42:48,720 --> 01:42:51,240
Speaker 1: Do you recommend people see it if they like, you know,

2007
01:42:51,479 --> 01:42:54,479
Speaker 1: nostalgic factor, you know, what's the who should see this?

2008
01:42:55,120 --> 01:42:57,679
Speaker 12: I think tons of people. This is like why it's

2009
01:42:57,680 --> 01:42:59,519
Speaker 12: doing so well in the box office right now. And

2010
01:42:59,520 --> 01:43:03,679
Speaker 12: actually eating Frozen too, Frozen two Numbers, which is Disney's

2011
01:43:03,680 --> 01:43:07,040
Speaker 12: best animated film. It's because there's this cross section of

2012
01:43:07,360 --> 01:43:10,320
Speaker 12: people who played the game over you know, the last

2013
01:43:10,560 --> 01:43:13,599
Speaker 12: I don't know, thirty plus years, like thirty five years

2014
01:43:13,720 --> 01:43:17,160
Speaker 12: or so, because you know, and every generation kind of

2015
01:43:17,200 --> 01:43:21,320
Speaker 12: knows about Mario. In one survey, Mario was had a

2016
01:43:21,400 --> 01:43:26,360
Speaker 12: better recognizable score than Mickey Mouse. So like it's it's

2017
01:43:26,360 --> 01:43:28,519
Speaker 12: definitely relevant to all ages, and a lot of kids

2018
01:43:28,600 --> 01:43:31,479
Speaker 12: who don't know Mario, this will be like their first

2019
01:43:31,880 --> 01:43:34,960
Speaker 12: experience with Mario and they'll immediately get it because they're

2020
01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:36,760
Speaker 12: the ones who like it the most because it just

2021
01:43:36,880 --> 01:43:39,120
Speaker 12: appeals to them. It may not have the story that

2022
01:43:39,160 --> 01:43:42,320
Speaker 12: the critics like, but the actual, you know, ticket paying

2023
01:43:42,360 --> 01:43:44,920
Speaker 12: audience seems to really like it. And I kind of

2024
01:43:44,920 --> 01:43:47,960
Speaker 12: agree with that ticket paying audience more than the professional

2025
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:48,639
Speaker 12: critics out there.

2026
01:43:48,720 --> 01:43:50,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree. And it got me to eat

2027
01:43:50,200 --> 01:43:52,320
Speaker 1: my popcorn and drink my soda and have a very

2028
01:43:52,800 --> 01:43:55,720
Speaker 1: very enjoyable Friday night. Matt, we're going to leave it

2029
01:43:55,760 --> 01:43:59,120
Speaker 1: at that. Check out Matt's newsletter at the Shortcut dot

2035
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:15,200
Speaker 1: Amazon scam warning, some new features for the National parks

2036
01:44:15,240 --> 01:44:17,800
Speaker 1: inside Google Maps, and we're going to close out the

2037
01:44:17,800 --> 01:44:21,280
Speaker 1: show with some of your feedback. Rich on Tech coming

2038
01:44:21,360 --> 01:44:31,840
Speaker 1: back after this. Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich

2039
01:44:31,920 --> 01:44:36,320
Speaker 1: Demiro talking technology with you. Find me online at rich

2040
01:44:36,400 --> 01:44:39,680
Speaker 1: on Tech. My son Tanner in the studio with me,

2041
01:44:39,760 --> 01:44:43,120
Speaker 1: my wife Lindsey. My other kid's on a hike, so

2042
01:44:43,160 --> 01:44:46,400
Speaker 1: he's not here, so not by himself. But if you

2043
01:44:46,400 --> 01:44:48,479
Speaker 1: want to see us on Instagram at rich on Tech,

2044
01:44:48,520 --> 01:44:52,000
Speaker 1: I typically well Instagram our family and what we're doing

2045
01:44:52,040 --> 01:44:54,519
Speaker 1: most of the time. All right, before we close out

2046
01:44:54,560 --> 01:44:56,720
Speaker 1: the show here, I got a lot of things to

2047
01:44:56,760 --> 01:45:00,479
Speaker 1: get through. So Amazon sent an email about the feeding

2048
01:45:00,520 --> 01:45:02,800
Speaker 1: scam artists. They said in twenty twenty two, they made

2049
01:45:02,840 --> 01:45:06,680
Speaker 1: significant strides to protecting customers any big tech company. You're

2050
01:45:06,720 --> 01:45:08,960
Speaker 1: gonna get emails that purport to be from them, do

2051
01:45:09,080 --> 01:45:10,880
Speaker 1: not fall for them. A lot of them are fake.

2052
01:45:11,800 --> 01:45:14,759
Speaker 1: Amazon says they initiated takedown some more than twenty thousand

2053
01:45:14,760 --> 01:45:17,599
Speaker 1: phishing websites and ten thousand phone numbers that were used

2054
01:45:17,600 --> 01:45:21,280
Speaker 1: as part of impersonation scams and they referred hundreds of

2055
01:45:21,320 --> 01:45:25,679
Speaker 1: bad actors to law enforcement. So how to protect yourself

2056
01:45:25,680 --> 01:45:29,080
Speaker 1: from Amazon scammers. Be careful installing apps or software. Amazon

2057
01:45:29,120 --> 01:45:31,799
Speaker 1: will not ask you to install an app or download

2058
01:45:31,880 --> 01:45:35,280
Speaker 1: software in order to get a refund or help. So

2059
01:45:35,280 --> 01:45:36,719
Speaker 1: if they're like, yeah, we can talk to you about

2060
01:45:36,720 --> 01:45:39,000
Speaker 1: this problem, just download this program and we'll connect you,

2061
01:45:39,080 --> 01:45:42,000
Speaker 1: don't do it. They connect you through the web. Never

2062
01:45:42,040 --> 01:45:44,280
Speaker 1: pay over the phone. Amazon will not call to ask

2063
01:45:44,320 --> 01:45:48,799
Speaker 1: you to provide payment information, including gift cards. Always verify

2064
01:45:48,920 --> 01:45:52,400
Speaker 1: orders directly with Amazon. Amazon is never going to send

2065
01:45:52,439 --> 01:45:55,639
Speaker 1: you a confirmation email that has the products you ordered

2066
01:45:55,680 --> 01:45:57,320
Speaker 1: in it. So if you get this emails, say I

2067
01:45:57,360 --> 01:45:59,360
Speaker 1: didn't order this computer, let me call this number and

2068
01:45:59,400 --> 01:46:02,040
Speaker 1: get a refund, and don't do it. That does not happen.

2069
01:46:02,920 --> 01:46:05,240
Speaker 1: If you have any questions, you can go to your

2070
01:46:05,360 --> 01:46:08,240
Speaker 1: orders area on Amazon dot com or on the Amazon

2071
01:46:08,280 --> 01:46:12,320
Speaker 1: Shopping app. Be wary of false urgency. Amazon does not

2072
01:46:12,360 --> 01:46:15,400
Speaker 1: pressure you to act. Now. Well, they do have lightning deals,

2073
01:46:15,439 --> 01:46:18,240
Speaker 1: so they do a little bit, but scammers may try

2074
01:46:18,280 --> 01:46:20,800
Speaker 1: to create a sense of urgency to persuade you to

2075
01:46:20,840 --> 01:46:24,360
Speaker 1: do what you're asking. And if you receive any communication,

2076
01:46:24,640 --> 01:46:26,920
Speaker 1: a call or text or email that you think may

2077
01:46:26,920 --> 01:46:29,680
Speaker 1: not be from Amazon, you can report it to Amazon

2078
01:46:30,120 --> 01:46:33,040
Speaker 1: at Amazon dot com slash report a scam. I did

2079
01:46:33,080 --> 01:46:37,879
Speaker 1: not know about that website Amazon dot com slash report

2080
01:46:38,080 --> 01:46:40,800
Speaker 1: a scam. Let's see what that brings you to. Brings

2081
01:46:40,800 --> 01:46:43,600
Speaker 1: to this website where you can report something suspicious so

2082
01:46:43,680 --> 01:46:46,200
Speaker 1: Amazon don't fall for it. Lots of stuff that's happening

2083
01:46:46,200 --> 01:46:49,879
Speaker 1: with that Google Maps. If you're going to be exploring

2084
01:46:50,000 --> 01:46:53,120
Speaker 1: national parks this summer, they have four new updates coming

2085
01:46:53,120 --> 01:46:55,360
Speaker 1: to Google Maps on iOS and Android to help you

2086
01:46:55,439 --> 01:47:00,240
Speaker 1: with that. So number one, this is really cool. You

2087
01:47:00,240 --> 01:47:03,400
Speaker 1: can identify the most popular places in a park, like

2088
01:47:03,439 --> 01:47:07,160
Speaker 1: the attractions, campgrounds, visitor center, and trailheads. So if you

2089
01:47:07,240 --> 01:47:10,200
Speaker 1: search for a park like Yellowstone, you'll see something called

2090
01:47:10,200 --> 01:47:12,559
Speaker 1: directory and it will show you all the things that

2091
01:47:12,560 --> 01:47:15,320
Speaker 1: are like the most popular things inside that park. It's

2092
01:47:15,400 --> 01:47:16,880
Speaker 1: kind of like what they do with a shopping mall,

2093
01:47:17,120 --> 01:47:18,720
Speaker 1: tell you all the stores, They tell you all the

2094
01:47:18,720 --> 01:47:23,320
Speaker 1: things that are on there. See the popular trails on maps,

2095
01:47:23,640 --> 01:47:25,800
Speaker 1: so now when you search for a trail, they're going

2096
01:47:25,840 --> 01:47:28,680
Speaker 1: to highlight the entire route on the map instead of

2097
01:47:28,760 --> 01:47:30,920
Speaker 1: just a pin, so you can see where it starts

2098
01:47:30,960 --> 01:47:32,720
Speaker 1: and finishes. And this is one of the things when

2099
01:47:32,760 --> 01:47:34,920
Speaker 1: you take a hike, it's like the most intimidating factor.

2100
01:47:35,400 --> 01:47:38,000
Speaker 1: You don't really know what the hike is going to entail,

2101
01:47:38,080 --> 01:47:40,240
Speaker 1: and so the more you know about it before you

2102
01:47:40,280 --> 01:47:43,160
Speaker 1: get on it, the better you can prepare. They also

2103
01:47:43,160 --> 01:47:47,440
Speaker 1: have pictures and reviews of hikes as well more detailed directions.

2104
01:47:47,800 --> 01:47:51,120
Speaker 1: They're going to have park entrances highlighted on the map,

2105
01:47:51,600 --> 01:47:55,760
Speaker 1: so you know exactly where to go right to the trailhead.

2106
01:47:55,800 --> 01:47:57,600
Speaker 1: That's another thing. You know, sometimes they just bring you

2107
01:47:57,640 --> 01:48:00,200
Speaker 1: to like the park itself, but if you know exact

2108
01:48:00,439 --> 01:48:02,280
Speaker 1: you know if there's three or four places to park,

2109
01:48:02,320 --> 01:48:03,880
Speaker 1: you can pick the best one based on what you

2110
01:48:03,920 --> 01:48:07,120
Speaker 1: want to do. And then the other thing is offline maps.

2111
01:48:07,200 --> 01:48:09,960
Speaker 1: Be sure to download those before you go. I talked

2112
01:48:09,960 --> 01:48:12,920
Speaker 1: about this for any trip you do, make sure you

2113
01:48:13,000 --> 01:48:15,360
Speaker 1: download Google Maps. There's a way to do it in

2114
01:48:15,400 --> 01:48:18,479
Speaker 1: the settings, and you can download offline maps. They're going

2115
01:48:18,520 --> 01:48:21,639
Speaker 1: to actually make this easier. When you look up a park,

2116
01:48:21,640 --> 01:48:24,439
Speaker 1: you're going to see a download button on the listing

2117
01:48:24,760 --> 01:48:27,960
Speaker 1: so that it reminds you to download that maps that

2118
01:48:28,000 --> 01:48:30,559
Speaker 1: you can use it without internet or cellular because remember

2119
01:48:30,600 --> 01:48:33,000
Speaker 1: GPS will still work on your phone if you have

2120
01:48:33,040 --> 01:48:35,479
Speaker 1: the map downloaded, even if you don't have internet or

2121
01:48:35,520 --> 01:48:37,839
Speaker 1: cellular data. And if you've been to a national park,

2122
01:48:38,040 --> 01:48:40,479
Speaker 1: you know that most of them do not have internet

2123
01:48:40,520 --> 01:48:45,120
Speaker 1: access nearby or cellular data. The other thing is I

2124
01:48:45,120 --> 01:48:48,599
Speaker 1: would recommend as the MPs National Park Service app. They've

2125
01:48:48,600 --> 01:48:51,920
Speaker 1: got a great app for at least I know they've

2126
01:48:51,920 --> 01:48:54,040
Speaker 1: got it for iOS. I'm not sure it's Android, but

2127
01:48:54,080 --> 01:48:55,880
Speaker 1: they do have it, and oh, they do have it

2128
01:48:55,920 --> 01:48:58,640
Speaker 1: for both, and that has a really good source of

2129
01:48:58,640 --> 01:49:02,480
Speaker 1: information as well. All right, let's get to the feedback

2130
01:49:02,640 --> 01:49:05,200
Speaker 1: section of the show. Tanner, do you want to read

2131
01:49:05,240 --> 01:49:07,800
Speaker 1: one of the feedbacks for me? Do you have a

2132
01:49:07,800 --> 01:49:08,840
Speaker 1: feedback there? We've got it.

2133
01:49:09,840 --> 01:49:14,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, I actually do have a feedback. Let's read it,

2134
01:49:14,240 --> 01:49:19,559
Speaker 8: okay from Peter. When I can't listen live, I catch

2135
01:49:19,600 --> 01:49:22,920
Speaker 8: up with your podcast. Thank you for providing interesting and

2136
01:49:23,000 --> 01:49:26,240
Speaker 8: valuable topics, Peter san Pedro.

2137
01:49:26,880 --> 01:49:30,000
Speaker 1: Oh, well, thank you, Peter. Yeah, some people don't realize

2138
01:49:30,000 --> 01:49:32,200
Speaker 1: that this goes out as a podcast as well, so

2139
01:49:32,240 --> 01:49:33,920
Speaker 1: if you miss it on the live show, you can

2140
01:49:34,000 --> 01:49:38,639
Speaker 1: definitely get the podcast later. Thank you, Peter. I appreciate

2141
01:49:38,680 --> 01:49:41,680
Speaker 1: that one. I will read the next piece of feedback.

2142
01:49:41,760 --> 01:49:44,599
Speaker 1: This is from I don't have a name here, but

2143
01:49:44,640 --> 01:49:47,599
Speaker 1: it just says I don't know, We'll just it says

2144
01:49:47,720 --> 01:49:52,040
Speaker 1: Rich de Hero instead of rich DeMuro Rich. Good job

2145
01:49:52,080 --> 01:49:55,879
Speaker 1: on the rescue. I remember from my scouting days reach, throw,

2146
01:49:56,479 --> 01:50:01,160
Speaker 1: row and go. Your little flotation device represent throw and

2147
01:50:01,200 --> 01:50:03,759
Speaker 1: it saved you from being dragged down by the victim.

2148
01:50:04,160 --> 01:50:07,280
Speaker 1: Good job, way to go. Cheers sent for my iPhone.

2149
01:50:07,880 --> 01:50:11,920
Speaker 1: Clearly he is referring to the rescue story I talked

2150
01:50:11,920 --> 01:50:14,160
Speaker 1: about on last week's show, and Tanner you were there.

2151
01:50:14,600 --> 01:50:17,200
Speaker 1: Was it scary on the beach to watch dad jump

2152
01:50:17,200 --> 01:50:18,799
Speaker 1: out and help rescue someone?

2153
01:50:19,400 --> 01:50:19,600
Speaker 6: You know?

2154
01:50:19,800 --> 01:50:23,719
Speaker 8: I almost grabbed my mom's phone and actually doubt nine

2155
01:50:23,600 --> 01:50:26,559
Speaker 8: one myself and I almost had a heart attack.

2156
01:50:27,720 --> 01:50:29,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a little scary, that's for sure.

2157
01:50:29,439 --> 01:50:32,200
Speaker 8: I almost ran in myself, but then these people told

2158
01:50:32,240 --> 01:50:34,559
Speaker 8: me to not run in because they probably thought there

2159
01:50:34,640 --> 01:50:35,439
Speaker 8: was a shark in there.

2160
01:50:35,600 --> 01:50:37,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, we didn't know what was happening. I told the

2161
01:50:37,680 --> 01:50:41,280
Speaker 1: story on last week's show about my vacation in Hawaii

2162
01:50:41,560 --> 01:50:43,280
Speaker 1: where I had to take a little time out from

2163
01:50:43,320 --> 01:50:45,479
Speaker 1: the beach to run into the water and rescue someone.

2164
01:50:45,520 --> 01:50:48,760
Speaker 1: But my thesis of that whole thing was a don't

2165
01:50:48,800 --> 01:50:51,400
Speaker 1: just be a bystander. Help out in some way to

2166
01:50:51,439 --> 01:50:53,400
Speaker 1: the best of your ability. Doesn't mean you have to

2167
01:50:53,439 --> 01:50:55,040
Speaker 1: jump in like I did. But if you can help

2168
01:50:55,080 --> 01:50:57,960
Speaker 1: in some way, that's good because everyone thinks someone's gonna

2169
01:50:57,960 --> 01:51:00,960
Speaker 1: help and sometimes they don't. And look for the floaty

2170
01:51:01,040 --> 01:51:04,240
Speaker 1: when you get into a pool or a ocean area,

2171
01:51:04,520 --> 01:51:06,719
Speaker 1: there's always some sort of life saving device.

2172
01:51:06,960 --> 01:51:10,559
Speaker 8: Yeah, always remember where like the guard stuff is like

2173
01:51:10,720 --> 01:51:15,160
Speaker 8: those life booies, or they're always red yellow or white

2174
01:51:15,320 --> 01:51:17,880
Speaker 8: or red and white like those booies on a ship.

2175
01:51:18,120 --> 01:51:20,000
Speaker 1: Tanner, thanks so much for joining me on the show today.
