Speaker 1: I Richdemiro and this is Rich on Tech, the podcast

8
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 2: Think you should know about.

00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: It's also the place right answer the questions that you

10
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 1: send me. I'm the tech reporter at KTLA Channel five

11
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. Welcome to the folks watching on Facebook

12
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: Live right now. Sometimes I do it on Facebook Live,

13
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: Sometimes I don't. It just depends how I'm feeling that day.

14
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: If I'm inspired to put it on Facebook, I will.

15
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: But a lot of people when they're watching on Facebook

16
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: are like, what's going on here? Like what's this guy

17
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: talking about? Like who's this guy in my feed? So

18
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: it happens. So a couple things this week, Big big

19
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: tech week. Oh my gosh, so many events. We had

20
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: an event on Monday for Apple Virtual of course, and

21
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: we had an event on Tuesday for what was the

22
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: second one? Then it was Google, and then the third

23
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: one was Samsung.

24
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: Not so much. I'll be honest.

25
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: I didn't really have to tune into that one because

26
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: I kind of knew what it was and it's interesting,

27
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: but it's not as groundbreaking as the gadgets we saw

28
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: from the other ones. But I did do something fun

29
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: over the weekend. I went to Irvine, California. If you've

30
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: never been, I highly recommend. It's a totally underrated place.

31
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: I mean, it's beautiful.

32
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 1: It's like, actually like number eleven best place to live

33
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: in America. And I've been trying to convince my wife

34
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: to move there, but she won't have it. She's from La,

35
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: so she wants to stay in the La proper. But

36
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: it is so nice. It's so clean, everything's so new.

37
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: They actually have a lot of tech companies down there.

38
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: We went to a place near the Irvine Spectrum Mall,

39
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: which is it was like a family reunion kind of thing.

40
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: So we're meeting up with a bunch of people. We

41
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,399
Speaker 1: all stay at the Marriott. It was fantastic. If you've

42
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: listened to me on the show, I don't know I've

43
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: ever talked about this, but I've always been a Hilton

44
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: person and I've always pooh pooed Marriotts. I don't know

45
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: why the Marriotte was so nice and it was like

46
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: just a basic hotel, and so now I think I

47
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: got to switch my allegiances to the Marriott. But I

48
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: try not to play the points game too much. I

49
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: really don't because I don't want to get like suckered

50
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: into like all these different little schemes that these marketers

51
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: do with the points. So I do try to like

52
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: stay I got. I did get suckered in with Hilton.

53
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: But anyway, long story short, Marriott was nice, Irvine was nice.

54
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: And over the.

55
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: Weekend I tested out these ray band stories. These are

56
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: sunglasses from ray Ban and Facebook, and they have little

57
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: cameras in them and they allow you to record things

58
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: as you walk around. You can record video, you can

59
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: take pictures. And I had a blast with these things

60
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: testing them out. I've got some thoughts. I'll put them

61
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: in a future TV segment, But the bottom line is

62
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: these sunglasses have gotten so close to actual just regular

63
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: sunglasses that you can put on and kind of forget

64
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: that there's a camera in there except for battery life

65
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: and transferring all the pictures. That it is a very

66
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: compelling new way to capture video and pictures. And I

67
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: don't know if it's there just yet, but I will

68
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: say it's pretty phenomenal what they were able to do

69
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: in a form factor that is pretty much typical sunglasses.

70
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 2: They're just a little bit thicker on the edges. But

71
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: I had a lot of fun.

72
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: The one thing I noticed about that is that I

73
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: bounce around a lot, like when I walk, your video

74
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: is going to be very shaky. And you also look

75
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: around a lot in different places. So when you do that,

76
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: your video is just kind of all over the place.

77
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: So it kind of it takes a bit to realize

78
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: that you're taking a video and you should stay in

79
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: one place. But that was really cool. Let's just get

80
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: into the top story of the week. I guess this

81
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: debate what the top story is. It could be the pixel,

82
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: it could be the MacBooks. But because the pixel, well

83
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm gonna start with with Google because

84
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: I've been talking about this on the podcast for so long.

85
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: How I can't wait to switch to this pixel? And

86
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: I got to say number one, I'm just gonna get

87
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: this out there. Google really just kind of like threw

88
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: me under the bus with this. I don't know why.

89
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what I did to Google. I don't

90
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: know what I said, maybe my last review of the

91
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: I need to look at my review of the Pixel

92
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: five and see what I said, because they just exed me.

93
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: They did not communicate with me about this press conference.

94
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: They did not send me anything. They did not send

95
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: me the phones to review. And when I say they

96
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: didn't send me the phones to review, I'm not kidding.

97
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: They sent a pair of Pixels to every single person

98
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: that has a YouTube account. It seems so every single

99
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: person that I see on my Twitter timeline has a

100
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: gift from Google. Thank you Pixel, Thank you Pixel, Thank

101
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,799
Speaker 1: you Google. I mean, people that don't even review review phones,

102
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: people that have never even used a Pixel are getting these.

103
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: They're given them out like candy. And here me, someone

104
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: who runs a national tech segment, did not get one

105
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: to review for it. Now I had to ask them

106
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: and they are like, well, well, we'll look at your

107
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: request and see what we think and get back to you.

108
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: So I don't know.

109
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: And this was a phone that I actually wanted to

110
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: purchase for myself to buy as my new phone. But

111
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: now I'm not so sure because I'm like, what's Google

112
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: hiding here? Okay, here's what I said. Google's latest Pixel smartphones,

113
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: excellent camera and a decent price, but not as exciting

114
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: as competitors, So I think that's pretty fair. And then

115
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: I went through and kind of like, you know, talked

116
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: about the rest of this stuff. I mean, I even

117
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: said I would recommend the four A five G for

118
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: most people at five hundred bucks. So I don't know anyway,

119
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: So that's besides the point. Let's talk about what the

120
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: Pixel is all about. You know, the Pixel is all

121
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: about a great camera, great software. But now Google is

122
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: adding their own profit cesser into the mix. They call

123
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: it Tensor, and they're saying it's going to be much

124
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: more powerful this time around. And that was really what

125
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: was lacking in the Pixels of years past, is that

126
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: it never felt like a very powerful phone. In fact,

127
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: they admitted it in their keynote. They said, we always

128
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: built the software around basically not very good hardware, like

129
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: low powered hardware, and now, for the first time, we

130
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: get to build software around high powered hardware, and it

131
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: just opens up a whole bunch of stuff. So Number one,

132
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: the prices on these phones are pretty amazing. Six hundred

133
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: bucks for the standard one and then nine hundred for

134
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: the Pro, which has a bigger screen, faster refresh rate.

135
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: But the camera set up is pretty identical, except the

136
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: Pro has a zoom camera whereas the standard one does not,

137
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: and it's got this weird design They call it a

138
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: camera bar, but it's just as weird, like shelf on

139
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: the back of the phone for the camera.

140
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:50,679
Speaker 2: I think it's kind of odd.

141
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: I like much more symmetrical phones, and I also don't

142
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: like phones where the edges taper off, so I've gotten

143
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: really used to how the iPhone has a nice blocky

144
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: feel these days, and I think it's like the perfect

145
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: phone design. So I'm not sure that I'll like this

146
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: design even so. There Google, They say the Pixel six

147
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: Pro is inspired by the finishes you see in luxury

148
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: jewelry and watches. They do kind of a fun thing

149
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: with some of the colors, you know, it's got Android

150
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: twelve on it, and this big thing about material you

151
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: where it kind of like matches the whole theme of

152
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: the phone to your wallpaper. That is not a selling

153
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: point to me, but it's cool. They've also extended the

154
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: security support update to five years now. That's a pretty

155
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: big win in my book, because that means if you

156
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: purchase this phone, you can pretty much use this thing

157
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: for five years. If you're a casual, average user that

158
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: just wants a nice phone that takes great pictures. Five years,

159
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: that's do the math. That's a great investment. It says

160
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: they capture one hundred and fifty percent more light compared

161
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: to the Pixel five, four times optical zoom up to

162
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: twenty times zoom with their super res The front camera

163
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: records four K video. It's got this magic eraser feature

164
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,239
Speaker 1: that automatically deletes things from your pictures. It's got various

165
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: modes to like help you take pictures of your kids

166
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: without them, you know, having blurry faces or whatever. They

167
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: also tweak the camera so that it gets appropriate and

168
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: proper skin tones for all skin types, not just one

169
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: group of people.

170
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 2: So that's nice.

171
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: Let's see what else. Pixel six oh improves speech recognition.

172
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 2: This is big.

173
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: You know, Google's done a lot of work with AI

174
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: when it comes to speech recognition, Google Translate, so a

175
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: lot of that is built into this. And we know

176
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: that the voice recognition on Android is way better than

177
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: the voice recognition on iPhone. Now, it's gotten a lot

178
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: better on iPhone over the past couple of years. I'll

179
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: give it that but Siri absolutely cannot handle anything very

180
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: complex proper names business names. Google takes a lot of

181
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: different cues from like let's say you say you want

182
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: to call business. It will look at like where you're

183
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: located and know that if you say Al's car shop,

184
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: it knows that you want the Al's car shop near

185
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: you wherever you are, and not just some random place

186
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: like I've asked serious stuff and she'll find stuff like

187
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: thousands of miles away that makes no sense.

188
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 2: Maybe it's gotten a little better.

189
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: It also has all the Google smarts, like for phone calls,

190
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: like it'll tell you how long to wait or wait

191
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: times are at a big business before you call. It

192
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: will decode phone trees on your phone screen so that

193
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: if it says tap one for this, tap two for that,

194
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: it'll show that on your screen. It's got a lot

195
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: of live translate features which work in I know, Japanese

196
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: and a couple other languages offline, which is really oh, English, French, German, Italian,

197
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: and Japanese. So that's really cool. You can get all

198
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: those language interpretations done even offline, which is really nice

199
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: in some cases, like the first time I ever went

200
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: to Japan, what a nightmare. It was because my phone

201
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: didn't work and everything was just tough. And nowadays everything

202
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: works everywhere that I've seen and been. But anyway, but

203
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: the translation stuff is pretty.

204
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 2: Nice, all right.

205
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: So six hundred dollars for the standard, nine hundred for

206
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 1: the pro. They're in stores on October twenty eighth. I'll

207
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: probably just walk over to Target and pick up one

208
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: of these things. Even if I don't end up keeping it,

209
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: I can always give it to my mom because she's

210
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: a Pixel user and I usually get her a pixel anyway,

211
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: So if I hate this thing, I'll just give it

212
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: to her. But I always like to have an Android

213
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: phone to use, and I think that this phone's gonna

214
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: be great. Right now, they have this weird embargo going

215
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: with all the people that they sent the phone to

216
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: that where they can't show pictures from the phone. So

217
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: this is a phone that's known for amazing pictures, and

218
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: Google told all ten thousand people that it sent free

219
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: phones to don't post any pictures from this phone. That's weird.

220
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: Why did they do that, I don't know. So October

221
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: twenty eighth will get it in stores, and we'll probably

222
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: get a better idea once the embargo lifts and people

223
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: can actually post stuff from.

224
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: This phone and about this phone.

225
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the first question of the day.

226
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: Susie says, I recently read an article that the much

227
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: anticipated iPad Mini six has a jelly roll screen issue.

228
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 2: Sounds delicious to me.

229
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 1: The article also indicated that Apple has no plans to

230
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: fix the problem, probably because it's not a problem. I

231
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: also really enjoy having a per size iPad that I

232
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 1: can carry with me. But I'm gonna quandary over purchasing

233
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: this device with a known scrolling problem. My Mini four

234
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: is exhibiting some issues, and I don't know how much

235
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: longer it can perform. What would you suggest making the

236
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: purchase waiting alternative device. Thank you for any help you

237
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: can offer, Susie, And Vice Salia, Vice Salia. I was

238
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: just there in Vice Salia, Susie, I could have said

239
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: hi and answered your question in person. Susie, here's my

240
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: thoughts on this. Just ignore the jelly roll issue. I

241
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: doubt it's a big deal. I just it's one of

242
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: these things where let me see what so I mean,

243
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: it's one of these things where who came.

244
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 2: Up with it?

245
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: Okay, so, where did the jelly roll, so it can

246
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: it originated. Okay, the issue was not mentioned in any

247
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: iPad reviews, according to Eymore, but it was first reported

248
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: by The Verge, and then Reddit has latched on and

249
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: saying there's a bunch of people who you know, experience

250
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: the same issue. And let me look at the Reddit

251
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: comments real quick, ninety four comments. So I think, Susie,

252
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: this is a whole bunch of don't worry about it.

253
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: It's not a big issue. Now here's my recommendation. Go

254
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: to the Apple Store. You can pick up one of

255
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: these little iPad minis and feel it and go to

256
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: a website that you would typically go to. Go to

257
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: a website with a long article, scroll through.

258
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: The jelly effect.

259
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: The jelly roll effect is like when they said, like

260
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: one side of the screen kind of goes up and

261
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: it looks like it's advancing faster than the other side.

262
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: I don't we've heard about this before with all kinds

263
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: of phones, but I think at the end of the day,

264
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: it's maybe people getting used to a new display.

265
00:12:59,520 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 2: I don't know.

266
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: But the reality is you can go into the Apple Store,

267
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: go to a bunch of websites, play with this thing.

268
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: See if you notice anything. If you don't notice anything,

269
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna be just fine. I'm sure this. I'm not

270
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 1: one hundred percent sure because sometimes with Apple stuff comes

271
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: out later and later, but I have a feeling that

272
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: it will probably be just fine. So I say, go

273
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: get the iPad Mini. I've got my eyes on one

274
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: of these things. I'd like to get one as well.

275
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: They're so nice.

276
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: I went too the Apple Store at the Irvine Spectrum

277
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: and it was just it's so amazing that it's just

278
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 1: how lively the Apple Store is. You go into any

279
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: other store in the mall and yeah, there's a couple

280
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: of people here and there or whatever, but you go

281
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: into the Apple Store and it's just like alive. There's

282
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: so many people and they're all doing something, and there's

283
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: so many people there to help you. We went into

284
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: Chipotle last night and for dinner, which, by the way,

285
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: the brisket was delicious, and I've wanted to try that

286
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: for a while. But I'm telling you, the place was

287
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: like it felt like I was on life it was

288
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: on life support. There's like three people working the entire place.

289
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: And I mean, we've seen this over and over with

290
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: a lot of places where it's just tough to get

291
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: help right now, but the Apple store doesn't have that problem.

292
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: There were so many people everywhere I turned, Hey can

293
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: I help you?

294
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 2: Hey?

295
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: Can I help you? Can I help you? Can I

296
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: help you?

297
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 2: And I'm like, Wow, this is amazing.

298
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's talk about the MacBook pros. These are

299
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: the new highly anticipated computers. I know, just speaking for

300
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: myself because I want to get one. But I was

301
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: waiting for the M one chip to come out on

302
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: when I bought my MacBook Pro, but it didn't. So

303
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: I'm glad I didn't wait, because it was like two

304
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: years ago that I bought this computer. I would have

305
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: been waiting a long time. But now they've got the

306
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: MacBook Pro fourteen and sixteen inch. They've got two new processors,

307
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: the M one Pro and the M one Max. And

308
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: bottom line, I'm not going to spend a whole bunch

309
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: of time on specs, but these are processors that Apple

310
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: has ditched Intel to make their own processors. They started

311
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: with the M one last year and it got great reviews.

312
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: People went nuts over it. Now they're coming out with

313
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: even higher, higher end versions of this processor, the Pro

314
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: and the Max, which supposedly are gonna be even better,

315
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: and I'm sure they are, because I don't think there's

316
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: one reviewer that didn't say the M one was amazing.

317
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: So the fourteen and sixteen inch MacBook Pros, they've got

318
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: a new.

319
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 2: Display with a higher refresh rate.

320
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: They've got a FaceTime HD camera, so now the cameras

321
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: are actually upgraded, or the camera, I should say. Let's

322
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: see what else. It's got a bunch of ports on it.

323
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: So you've got Thunderbolt three, Thunderbolt four ports, an SDXC

324
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: card slot, HDMI port, and mag Safe three and of

325
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: course a headphone jack. And the mag Saf three is

326
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: the old mag Safe coming back. So on these laptops.

327
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: Apple took everything away in the last couple of years,

328
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: and now they've brought it all back, all the features

329
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: that the pros wanted, and so I'm glad they listened

330
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: to people. Let's see what else. I forgot to mention something.

331
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: I've got the ports. Oh yeah, touchbar. Touch bar is gone.

332
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: Now this is a feature that I did not I

333
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: begrudgingly bought my laptop with the touch bar on it,

334
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: and I did not want the touch bar, but to

335
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: get the features that I wanted in my computer. I

336
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: had to get the touch bar, and so I got it.

337
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: I've never used it. It's horrible, and I am so

338
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: glad it's gone with real keys now because there was

339
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: just no use for it. It didn't make sense for

340
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: me to have this thing on my computer. Clearly I

341
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: was not I was with a lot of other people.

342
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 2: On that one.

343
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: That's basically all you need to know about the MacBook pros.

344
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, if you're gonna get one of these,

345
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna look into all the dimensions of it and

346
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: exactly what it can do and.

347
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 2: All of the specs.

348
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: But it's two thousand dollars starting price for the fourteen inch,

349
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: twenty five hundred for the sixteen inch. And don't forget

350
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: that there are education prices on these things, so if

351
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: you're a student or you're in that world, you can

352
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: get it as low as eighteen fifty for the fourteen

353
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: inch and twenty three hundred for the bigger sixteen inch.

354
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 2: But here's the thing. I don't say this all lightly.

355
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: This is a lot of money, but if you're buying

356
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: a pro computer, I call it the money maker, because

357
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: this computer is what enables me to make a living

358
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: and it's what I use every day.

359
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 2: I rely on it. It's it's my baby.

360
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,959
Speaker 1: And honestly, I could get a work issued computer if

361
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: I wanted, but I don't want it. I want this.

362
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: I want to spend my money on this computer because

363
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: I can do things my way. I can set it

364
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: up the way I like, and I own it.

365
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 2: And by the.

366
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: Way, my computer that I bought two years ago for

367
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: probably twenty five hundred bucks or twenty eight hundred dollars,

368
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: I don't know how much it was, I need to

369
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: look up the receipt I can get about fourteen hundred

370
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: dollars for it as a trade in, and so they

371
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: hold their value. Now. If I was going to give

372
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: this to my son, that would be great, but I

373
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,959
Speaker 1: think this is a little bit too powerful for a

374
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: ten year old. I don't think he needs this. I

375
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: was going to hand down my computer to him. He

376
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: can hand down his computer to my littler kid, but

377
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:56,719
Speaker 1: I feel like we don't need to do that right

378
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: now because it's computer. Plus, I kind of just want

379
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: the fourteen hundred bucks towards the new one because I'm

380
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: looking at spending a lot of money here in the

381
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 1: next couple weeks, but that's it. Those are coming out

382
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, October twenty sixth.

383
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 2: If you've got by the way, the.

384
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: Battery life on these things are amazing.

385
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.

386
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: The one downside is the notch in the display.

387
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 2: Now.

388
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: I love how Apple spins it. They say the display

389
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: features even thinner borders and extends up around the camera.

390
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: They don't say notch to provide users with even more

391
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: room for their content. Oh Apple, it's a positive thing

392
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: that you added this weird looking notch. So they said

393
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: they work with developers to try to make the top

394
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: area more for like the menu and all your little

395
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 1: icons and stuff, which they did. But still it's just

396
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 1: kind of funny. Like people give the notch a hard

397
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: time on the iPhone, now they can give the notch

398
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: a hard time on the on the laptops as well.

399
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 2: Let's see.

400
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: Oh, the one thing if you want to know is

401
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: mac os Monterey will be available as a free software

402
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 1: download on Monday, October twenty fifth, and so I will

403
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: be updating my computer on Monday. And there's a reason

404
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: for that, and I'll get into it later in the podcast.

405
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: All right, uh, Saban says, hey currently using AirPods one.

406
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: Now I want to get the new ones, but the

407
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: third generation doesn't have noise cancelation.

408
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 2: What do you recommend?

409
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: AirPods three or AirPods Pro? Price doesn't matter which ones

410
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: are better? Sent from my iPhone.

411
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 2: Oh you know what, I will.

412
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: Actually go into my story about the h the AirPods.

413
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: I didn't realize this question was about the AirPods, So

414
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: let's talk about the new AirPods. This is also what

415
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: Apple introduced. The new AirPods now look just like the

416
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: AirPods Pro, but they don't have those little rubber tips

417
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: on them.

418
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 2: And they don't seal up your ears.

419
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: And the design is just a little bit different. They

420
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: look like kind of like mini pros, but they're really

421
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,719
Speaker 1: nice looking, and they've got some new features including adaptive VQ,

422
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 1: spatial audio, and dynamic head tracking. And if you have not,

423
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: if you have not experienced spatial audio or dynamic head tracking,

424
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: it's pretty darn cool. So those are new features that

425
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 1: are really nice on these. Also, they're sweat and water resistant,

426
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: which is kind of funny because how many people in

427
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: the world have used their AirPods while working out and

428
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: never had a problem or in the rain or something

429
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: maybe in the rain, but working out, I mean sweat.

430
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 2: Come on, I've so many people use these.

431
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: My wife has the regular AirPods that don't you know,

432
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: and she's never had a problem. But anyway, we've got

433
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: that new feature. And then the case. This is something

434
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: that's interesting. The case is also water resistant. It's ipx four,

435
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 1: which is not like the biggest in the world, but

436
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: it's good, which means if you drop your case and

437
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 1: like a puddle, it's not going to totally short out

438
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,719
Speaker 1: your air pods, which is nice. They also have this

439
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 1: four sensor on the stem, which I'm not a big

440
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: fan of, but it's just how it is.

441
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 2: That's how the AirPods Pro are. You get a lot of.

442
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: Battery life six hours listening time and then thirty hours

443
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: total with the charging case, which is by the way,

444
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: not only wireless charging compatible, so you can put it

445
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: on any wireless charger, but you can also put it

446
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: on a mag Safe charger, the same one that you

447
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: use on your iPhone and it will charge these things up.

448
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 1: So these are the third generation AirPods. It's gonna be

449
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: confusing because they look like the AirPods Pro and but

450
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: they're not. And so these are just the standard AirPods

451
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: now and those are kind of like the main features.

452
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: Let me see if I left any features out on

453
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: their AirPods. No. Five minutes of charge will give you

454
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,959
Speaker 1: an hour of use, which is kind of nice if

455
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: you ever like, pick up your AirPods and they're kind

456
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: of dead and you want to, you know, go on

457
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: a run or something. One hundred and seventy nine dollars,

458
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: so not cheap, not cheap at all. One hundred and

459
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: eighty dollars. Now they are cheaper than when AirPods first launched.

460
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: They were one ninety nine, and so you're getting more

461
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: for your money for less. So if you look at

462
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: it that way, look on the bright side, you're you're winning. Tuesday,

463
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: October twenty sixth is when these come out. So to

464
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: answer your question, Saban about AirPods, you want to get

465
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: them now? The new ones, the third generation, they do

466
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: not have noise cancelation, and I would say, actually, my

467
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 1: preference are the AirPods three because I think the Airpod's

468
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 1: three will feel better in your ears if you don't

469
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: like that closed out kind of like when you put

470
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: the AirPods pro in, it's like sh you're just like

471
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: sealed up, you know what I mean, your air You're

472
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: there's nothing getting in your ears, nothing getting out. It's

473
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: like a very like underwater feeling that I'm personally not

474
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: a fan of, which is why I don't really wear

475
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: the AirPods like walking through the airport and stuff, because

476
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: it's just not that comfortable for me. But the AirPods three,

477
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: I think will be a lot better because they don't

478
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: do that. They don't seal out your ears. Now you

479
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 1: do lose the noise cancelation. So if that's important to you,

480
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: I would go with the AirPods pro. But otherwise I

481
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: think that pretty much that's the big differentiator between these

482
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: two devices. And so I think that between those two things,

483
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: you know, I mean not gonna it's let's see, I'm

484
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: trying to see if I have some information on these

485
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: AirPods that are that I can go into a little

486
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: bit more depth here.

487
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 2: But I don't think I do. Yeah, I don't. Let's see,

488
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:14,959
Speaker 2: do I have it right here?

489
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: Yeah?

490
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 2: I do?

491
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: Okay, So let me just see real quick there's anything

492
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: different on these things that would be like a major Okay,

493
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: so AirPods pro versus Okay, so they've got the four

494
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 1: sensor active noise cancelation on the Pro. They've both got

495
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: the dynamic head tracking and spatial audio. They both have

496
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: Adaptive EQ, they both have automatic switching, they both have

497
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: auto sharing, they both announced notifications, they both have h SERI,

498
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: they both have the Find my Network, the proximity view,

499
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: the separation alerts. They do have the The charging is

500
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: the same, The ip x four is the same, but

501
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: you get the.

502
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:47,959
Speaker 2: Case on the Pro.

503
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: On the AirPods third generation, and you do get a

504
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: little bit more listening time on the Airpod's third generation.

505
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: So I would say go with AirPods third generation unless

506
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,719
Speaker 1: you need the no cancelation. All right, good question. All right,

507
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: let's move on to Samsung. This is gonna be real quick,

508
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: but Samsung had an event where they announced the Galaxy

509
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: Z Flip three Bespoke Edition. The Bespoke Edition. This is

510
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 1: a phone that you can customize the color on. Samsung

511
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: says they tested thousands of color options and identified hues

512
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 1: that would perfectly complement each other no matter the combination,

513
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: which is handy for a guy like me that cannot

514
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: match if my life depended on it. The result is

515
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: a palette of forty nine possible color combinations for the

516
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: Bespoke edition of the z Flip three, customers can mix

517
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: and match to create their own combination. You've got phone

518
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: frame options of black or silver, and front and back

519
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: colors of blue, yellow, pink, white, or black. You can

520
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: also register to replace your device panel with new colors

521
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 1: at Samsung dot com. So that means you can keep

522
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 1: pace with your evolving style. You gotta be really uh,

523
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: that's that's that's a bit much. So. The Bespoke Edition

524
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,719
Speaker 1: is one thousand, ninety nine. It comes with twelve months

525
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: of Samsung Care Plus, which is kind of nice. You're

526
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: covered from accidental damage, including a screen replacement, water damage,

527
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: and back cover replacement. Could also get up to a

528
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 1: six hundred dollars trading credit. And the regular flip I believe.

529
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 2: Is nine ninety nine. Oh my gosh. This.

530
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: I know all this stuff like the first day it

531
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: comes out, and then I forget it like later on

532
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 1: because I just, you know, like I don't have to

533
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 1: remember it.

534
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 2: So let's see the full Let's see how much is it?

535
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 1: The z flip three is yeah, nine ninety nine, So

536
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: I mean you're paying like one hundred bucks more for

537
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: a Bespook edition. All right, let's get to the next

538
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: question of the show. Tracy says, is it true that

539
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: iPhone X and below will no longer be able to

540
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: be used after December twenty twenty one. Now I had

541
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: to look this up because I was a little I

542
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: was like, wait, is there something I didn't hear about iPhone?

543
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: Did I say iPhone X iPhone ten? It's written X,

544
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: but it's iPhone ten. So Tracy, I'm gonna give this

545
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: a big old hold on. Let me put the volume

546
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: up here. Definitely not true. I don't know where you

547
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 1: saw this rumor, but it's not true. If you go

548
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 1: to the iOS fifteen web page, this is when it

549
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: tells you all. If you scroll all the way to

550
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: the bottom, it will tell you all the phones that

551
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: iOS fifteen is supported on, which iOS fifteen just came out.

552
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: So if this was true, then the iPhone ten would

553
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: not be listed on this page. And by the way,

554
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: it is, and a whole bunch of phones before the

555
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: iPhone ten are still supported all the way back to

556
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: the iPhone's success. And so you've got success, you've got seven,

557
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: you've got eight, you've got there's no nine. And then

558
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: you've got ten, so you've got, like, I think, at

559
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: least two more years, three more years before this phone

560
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: is not supported, more like three years. So I don't

561
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,239
Speaker 1: think that that's going away anytime soon. But you know,

562
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: this is what happens. We see all these rumors and

563
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: memes and stuff online, and we you know, it's tough.

564
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: There's a lot of misinformation out there. It's just the

565
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: reality of kind of like people being able to share

566
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: whatever they want, which is great, but it leaves us

567
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: to be the fact checkers. And when you scroll through,

568
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: it's like I'm scrolling through social media and I'm reading

569
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: something and I'm.

570
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 2: Like, is that true? Wait, okay, And.

571
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: Then I got to go and search Google and see

572
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: and cross checking. All of a sudden, I'm like a

573
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: mini like Jeopardy fact checker, you know, and I find

574
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: the answer and I'm still not sure sometimes, but the

575
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: answer from me is yes, the phone will be fine.

576
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: It's not going to be no longer used after December

577
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. And I don't even know where they got

578
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: that date from, because Apple doesn't even do anything in December.

579
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: They don't like, they don't change anything, they don't release

580
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: new software, they don't really do anything, all right. Moving on,

581
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: Apple has a new voice only music plan. This is

582
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: called the Apple Music Voice Plan, and you save a

583
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: whole bunch of money. It's only four ninety nine a month,

584
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: which is amazing. Who doesn't want to say fifty percent

585
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: off of a standard subscription that's more like nine ninety

586
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 1: nine a month. And by the way, mark my words,

587
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 1: music services have held steady at nine ninety nine a

588
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: month for a very long time. So I would not

589
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,959
Speaker 1: be surprised if we see them go up in price.

590
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 2: Now.

591
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that doesn't happen, but we've seen a lot

592
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: of prices increase lately on all the streaming services, just

593
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: in everyday life, and so I would not be surprised

594
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: if these streaming music services use this sort of inflation

595
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: we're experiencing as a way to sneak in a little

596
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: dollar dollar month the upgrade or a dollar monthly increase.

597
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: I should say, I'm just saying I don't know, I

598
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: have no I've not privy to any information there, but

599
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: I just feel like we've been hovering at that. I mean,

600
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: Spotify has been out now for I mean many years.

601
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: Let's see Spotify launch date July twenty twenty July twenty eleven.

602
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: So July twenty eleven, you're talking ten years at nine

603
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: to ninety nine a month, I think we might be

604
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: seeing a price increase. So I would be careful, just

605
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: you know, put that in your budget, but just budget

606
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: ahead for you know, the twelve extra dollars for the

607
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: year or whatever. If you're like me, you're paying for

608
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: all these various services because they're all don't know.

609
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 2: I won't get into my problems.

610
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: Uh. Anyway, So this new service plan is called Apple

611
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: Music Voice Plan. You get access to everything. You get

612
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: ninety million songs, tens of thousands of playlists, including hundreds

613
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: of brand new playlists.

614
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 2: So what they did was they went through and rewrote.

615
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: All these playlists to say, H SERI play music for

616
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: Italian dinner party, or H Siri play some cocktail music,

617
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: or H Siri play some music for drinking Margarite's Oh well,

618
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: where's my mind? H Siri play some music for working

619
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: out there you go, and so she will or Siri

620
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: will play you know, the music that's appropriate. So but

621
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: you can call out a song. There's a lot of

622
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: confusion about this because people thought it was like Pandora

623
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: where you can't necessarily say a specific song. You have

624
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: to play like kind of a mix. But no, you

625
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: can say a specific song you want, but it all

626
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: has to be through your voice and you have to

627
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: use Siri. And this works on all your different devices

628
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: car Play, AirPods, HomePod, whatever, iPhone. But it's five dollars

629
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: a month, four ninety nine, and you can't you know,

630
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: I kind of pressed Apple on this. I'm like, well,

631
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: so I open the app, and what happens. I can't

632
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,959
Speaker 1: type in like an artist I want to listen to.

633
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: And I don't think I got a straight answer, honestly,

634
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: but it sounds like that's the case. Like when the

635
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: app will be different, it will be tailored just towards

636
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: this voice plan. So we'll see how this works. I mean,

637
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: if I was a single plan user, like if I

638
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: was just by myself and I just had a music plan,

639
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: i'd probably do this because why not for to say

640
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: fifty percent of well, I don't know, I do like

641
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: browsing playlists, and so that's.

642
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 2: I don't know.

643
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: Maybe I wouldn't do this, But I mean, and I

644
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: don't actually use a lot of voice commands to play

645
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: music because I don't know what I want to listen to.

646
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: So a lot of times I'll just open up Spotify

647
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: and I will just look through all the different playlists

648
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: and like I'll start at a genre, be like workout. Okay,

649
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: I've got workout, workout, whatever that is. I've got workout

650
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: sunny days, whatever that is. I've got workout motivation, I've

651
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: got beast Mode. It took me so long to play

652
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: the beast Mode playlist because I think I talked about

653
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: this before, but they have this big old muscle guy

654
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: on the front, and I was like, well, that's not me.

655
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: So clearly this is for like guys in the gym,

656
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: like doing like hard weights, right, like lifting all that.

657
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 2: What do they call it? Not metal?

658
00:31:58,560 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: What is it?

659
00:31:59,120 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 2: Pushing?

660
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: Pumping iron, pumping iron? You know guys like pumping iron.

661
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, that's just not me.

662
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 2: You know.

663
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: I'm more like an Apple fitness guy and like a

664
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: runner and a peloton guy. You know, I do like

665
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: very easy workouts just to stay in shape, keep the

666
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: heart healthy. But you know, I'm not sitting there like

667
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: you know, mister muscleman.

668
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 2: But anyway, so I.

669
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: Finally played that playlist and it was awesome, and it's

670
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: a really cool playlist. It's called beast Mode, And what

671
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: I like about it is that they actually played just

672
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: the selects of the songs, like the best parts. So

673
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: if you're listening, you know how song like starts slow, Okay,

674
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: let's get to the heart of this song. Okay, let's

675
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: get to the chorus. Let's get to the better part. Well,

676
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: beast Mode kind of like gets right to that part,

677
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: which is really nice.

678
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 2: So that's kind of cool.

679
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: So I don't know, Siri Apple Music Voice Plan. I

680
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: think that a lot of people, especially the dare I

681
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: say younger set, will take advantage of this because maybe

682
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: they're used to I mean, my kids, I know that everything,

683
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: everything is voice with them. And so if if you

684
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: want to see where the future is going, hang out

685
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: with some kids, hang out with some teenagers, if you

686
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: want to see where things are right now, because everyone

687
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: is at a different kind of level in their life.

688
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: Like my kids grew up with you know, Google all around,

689
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: and so they just ask it everything, whereas for me,

690
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: like I'd still rather type in my questions unless it's

691
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: something that's like super easy to answer, Like they'll ask

692
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: very complex questions that I'm like, there's no way that

693
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: Google can answer that. And sure enough, if it can't

694
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: answer it, like in a simple way to just read

695
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: a web page with the answer, I mean, it's pretty

696
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: good actually, but there you have it. Did I digress?

697
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: Dare I digress? Uh? Let's see Bab says good morning.

698
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: Everyone says good morning to me on their emails because

699
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: they see me on TV in the early morning, and

700
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: that's when they are like, oh, yeah, I should email

701
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: that guy and ask him a question.

702
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 2: Good morning.

703
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: What can I get to attach to my iPhone thirteen

704
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: pro so when I walk and talk and take videos,

705
00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: it's smooth.

706
00:33:59,040 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 2: Thanks so much?

707
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: Actually, on how much I should be thanking you, because

708
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: every time you review something, I go out and buy it.

709
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: Face plan emoji, crying face happy emoji sent from my iPhone. Babs,

710
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: sorry to hear that, and I honestly, I am aware

711
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 1: of that that phenomenon that when I mentioned something, people

712
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: purchase it, and so for that reason, I do take

713
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: that into consideration with my segments with my Facebook posts.

714
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 1: But the reality is people love cool stuff, and honestly,

715
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: it's what resonates the most with people. There's two things

716
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: that resonate with people online. Actually three that I post.

717
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: Number one is things that are like gadgets, Like any

718
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: sort of new gadget that's new and unique. People love

719
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: to see it, and they love to see me go on,

720
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: go into the nuances of that gadget, so you know,

721
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: taking it out of the box, showing you the gadget,

722
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: like just going over like what's different, what's new, what's unique,

723
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 1: showing you the ports on it.

724
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 2: All that stuff, because it just helps you.

725
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 1: Like it's like Home Shopping Network, except like way better

726
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 1: because I'm actually an impartial person. That's just like telling

727
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: you about this gadget and what I know about it,

728
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:12,879
Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to sell it to you. I'm

729
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: just trying to show you what's out there so that

730
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: you know when you buy something like, oh, here's the competition,

731
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: here's what's new, here's what's different, Here's what to look

732
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: out for, here's the features that set it apart, here's

733
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: the pitfalls.

734
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 2: And so that's number one.

735
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: Number two is things that help you, so like tips

736
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: And when I wrote my book, this is the inspiration

737
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: for my book was actually I wrote a book on

738
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: tips for the iPhone. It was actually when I posted

739
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: stuff to Facebook. It went viral whenever I would do

740
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: like an iPhone tip, and I was like, what, people

741
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: don't know how to do this stuff on the iPhone.

742
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: You got to be kidding me. And then I realized, like, oh,

743
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: there's a whole world of people out there that don't

744
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: sit there and think of the iPhone tips for their

745
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: entire lives like I do.

746
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 2: And so I wrote a book about it.

747
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: It was very successful, and that was all based on

748
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: tips on you know, Instagram and Facebook. And then the

749
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: third thing is family. People love to see personal life.

750
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:07,879
Speaker 1: You know, what I do in my spare time, all

751
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: that good stuff. And you know, we're pretty boring. I

752
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: mean we you know, we're just a family that just

753
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: does normal family stuff. I shouldn't say normal, I should

754
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: say typical family stuff, you know, going to the park,

755
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: going out to places.

756
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 2: You know.

757
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 1: You know, we do live in LA so there's a

758
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: lot of things available and I do get invited to

759
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: a decent.

760
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 2: Amount of stuff, So that's fun.

761
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: But anyway, so I like sharing that as well because

762
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,280
Speaker 1: I like to inspire people. If they see me go somewhere,

763
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, I should go to that place or

764
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: I you know, I'll take my kids on a hike

765
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: or whatever. And I love seeing other people doing stuff

766
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: so that I get inspired to do it.

767
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 2: Okay, I digress, as I often do on this show.

768
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 1: So Babs asked what can she attach to her iPhone

769
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 1: thirteen pro to make video smooth? And honestly, my answer

770
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: is really nothing. I don't I don't think you need

771
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: anything now if.

772
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 2: You were gonna.

773
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: I do video for a living and I've shot entire

774
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 1: stories on my iPhone and that have aired on television,

775
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 1: and honestly, I don't really use a lot of stuff.

776
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: I will tell you what I've used in the past.

777
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: I've used two things. Number one is a long time ago,

778
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 1: basically just a little handle. It was called the Olo

779
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 1: clip pivot grip and it was just a little tiny

780
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: handle that you would attached to your phone and it

781
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: just gave you like a better grip on your phone

782
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: and so but it didn't stabilize it or anything. It

783
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: just helped you, you know, grip your phone better. Now

784
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: I don't have that. I don't really use that anymore,

785
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 1: but I've I've replaced it with my new favorite, which

786
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: is called the Tentacle, and it's this is kind of

787
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: an octopus looking thing. It's a little mount that has

788
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: suction cups and it's also flexible, and so you put

789
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: your phone in it. You put your phone in there,

790
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: and then you kind of just grip the bottom of

791
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 1: it and you can easily use it to move your

792
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: phone around and watch stuff or to record stuff, i

793
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: should say, And it works great now.

794
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 2: It does not stabilize anything.

795
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: But I think the main thing about stableation that I've

796
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: noticed is that number One, people move their phones around

797
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: way too much. People don't remember that you need to

798
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: kind of stay stable when you're when you're recording, like,

799
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: don't move your phone a lot. And if you just

800
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: think about that, ninety nine percent of your videos will

801
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: be way better than they are right now. And I've

802
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 1: had people when I'm running like Rich, how do you

803
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: keep your phone? Like what's your phone on? What kind

804
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: of a mount? And I'm like nothing, I'm just literally

805
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: holding it out. Just remember to not move. And shaking

806
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,919
Speaker 1: is also a big problem, because you know, people shake

807
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: when they kind of like hold their stuff and they're

808
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: a little bit shaky, and so that's a problem and

809
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 1: you need to just be cognizant of that and to

810
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: get over that. You can actually brace your arms, don't

811
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: hold your phone. The further out you hold your smartphone,

812
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: the shakier you're going to be with that phone, because

813
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: think about it, you're holding your arms out. It takes

814
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: a lot of energy to hold your arms out and

815
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: to balance into you know, your your your gyroscope, your

816
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: human gyroscope in your body is like working over time

817
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: to stabilize it, which I would guess is your core

818
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: maybe and your arm muscles. But when you when you

819
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: put your arms in, you brace in. It will actually

820
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: hold your phone steadier because you can now use your

821
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: whole body as a way to steady things, and you're

822
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: you're using the force of your whole body and not

823
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: just held out arms. So keep your arms close tight

824
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: to your chest, and that will be a great way

825
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: to do. Uh to do that, And actually learned that

826
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,359
Speaker 1: tip from a friend, uh, Juan Bagnell. He also runs

827
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: a YouTube channel called Some Gadget Guy, and he actually

828
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: taught me that. So I was not aware of that.

829
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: I maybe was vaguely aware of my head of that

830
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: of how to shoot like that, but I'd never had

831
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 1: someone put it into words until we did a segment

832
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: together about how to take better smartphone pictures. And he said, yeah,

833
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: use your use your arms as a brace, like almost

834
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: like a human tripod. And I was like, oh, wow,

835
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: that's a great idea. So thanks Wan for that for

836
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: that tip, and check them out. Some gadget guy he does,

837
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: he's you think I get cranky? I love one for

838
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:03,760
Speaker 1: his rankiness on his videos. He really he has taken

839
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: on the establishment, that's for sure.

840
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 2: So check him out. All right.

841
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 1: Oh and yeah, that's it, So let's get to the

842
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: next story.

843
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 2: I guess okay.

844
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 1: So I said earlier that I was going to and

845
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: I promised this whole show is not oh that kind

846
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: of is all Apple. But I said earlier that I

847
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: was gonna upgrade my MacBook Pro to Monterey before I

848
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: traded in.

849
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 2: And there's a reason for that.

850
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: And this is a really cool feature that they finally

851
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: built into MacBooks. It's been on Windows for a while,

852
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 1: but now Apple finally has it. And one of the

853
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: listeners told me that this was always on the MacBook,

854
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: but I guess never easily findable. But now you can

855
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: format your MacBook and basically erase it to factory settings

856
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 1: with a setting, versus going through and having to do

857
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: this all manually. So great example of this is a

858
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: story my boss, my former boss, gave me a computer

859
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: that was his and he said, and this was this

860
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 1: was pretty big of him. This is this is the

861
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: level of trust. And so he said, Rich, can I

862
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: trust you to erase this computer and recycle it properly?

863
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: And I said, yes, sure. And it was an old

864
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: iMac and I'm not kidding. This thing sat in my

865
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 1: garage for I don't know a while, a couple months,

866
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: and I was it taxed me every day because it

867
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: wasn't easy. I had no original discs, I had no Internet.

868
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 1: Everything was like old on this computer. So it wasn't

869
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: I wasn't able to do the standard things that I

870
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 1: do on my computer to factory format it, which involves

871
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: using like like booting up from a USB drive or

872
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: a DVD or a CD back in the day, and

873
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: then getting into like disc utility formatting it.

874
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 2: And then it was just a whole thing.

875
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: I forget what the actual steps are, but it's a lot.

876
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,760
Speaker 1: And so I this computer every day sat in my garage.

877
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: I said, oh my gosh, if someone steals his computer,

878
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: they have all of his information, Like, oh my gosh.

879
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: But I made a promise to my boss that I

880
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 1: would do it, and there's also the temptation and just

881
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 1: like look through this computer and this is like a

882
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: computer that had, you know, all of his personal information

883
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 1: on it. Now, this is a reason why I am

884
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 1: a trusted person and why people often tell me their

885
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: passwords and they do it because I don't. Even with

886
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 1: like my mom and my dad, even though I have

887
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: access to their accounts, I don't go into their accounts

888
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: without asking them first, because that's a level of trust

889
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 1: that I'm not just going to go in and you know,

890
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: like if my mom, if she wants me to like

891
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: check her credit card bill or something, I will not

892
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: just go in and look at it. I will say, Mom,

893
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: I'm going in, or I say, can I may I

894
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,479
Speaker 1: go in and access your bill? At this point, sure,

895
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: but I think that's a level of trust that as

896
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,800
Speaker 1: a tech person you have to have with people, because

897
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: I don't just go into people's stuff and I don't

898
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: just like anyway. So this computer sat there for I

899
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: don't know, let's say, six months before I was able

900
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: to kind of figure out how to do it, and

901
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: I did get it. I did finally erase the whole thing.

902
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: I was so proud of myself, and then I was

903
00:42:55,600 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: calling a recycling company to actually get it taken away

904
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 1: and properly recycled, and so it all worked out very nicely.

905
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,760
Speaker 2: But I tell you that story because.

906
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: Not to prop up my personal integrity, but to tell

907
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: you that now this process is gonna be a whole

908
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: lot easier in Monterey because all you have to do

909
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:17,720
Speaker 1: is go into the settings and there's a new erase

910
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: all content in Settings feature, And so all you have

911
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 1: to do is do this select this in system preferences,

912
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 1: and it will remove your Apple ID, your fingerprints, all

913
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: your accessories, your Apple pay disabled, find my and it

914
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: says that it actually because storage is encrypted on the

915
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: Mac with newer Mac systems with Apple Silicon or the

916
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: T two chip. My computer, I believe has the T

917
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,839
Speaker 1: two chip, the system is instantly and securely erased by

918
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 1: destroying the encryption keys, and so is my computer. Oh yeah,

919
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 1: a lot of computers are on this T two chip,

920
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: all the way back to the Macmini of twenty eighteen,

921
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 1: Mac Pro twenty nineteen. My computer, MacBook Pro sixteen in

922
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: sh yeah, twenty nineteen.

923
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 2: Is on there.

924
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: So all I have to do is go in and

925
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: do this little setting and boom, my computer's erased. Ready

926
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: to go for the next person that we'll have to

927
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: deal with a horrible, horrible touch bar okay, I must says, hey, Rich,

928
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: hopefully you can advise me. I'm interested in buying dual

929
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: TVs from my SUV when we have our granddaughters with us.

930
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: I would like to stream for my phone Hulu, Disney

931
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: plus Netflix to them. Thanks and advanced Dora Dora. I

932
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 1: would recommend getting a It's funny how a lot of

933
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: times when these questions come up, people go through like

934
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: the most like complex things like just simple easy. I

935
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: would go with a Fire TV tablet.

936
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:47,439
Speaker 2: Two of them.

937
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 1: Sounds like you want to get oh yeah, two and

938
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 1: I would get amount for the back of your your

939
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 1: headrest and so the tablet the fire I would recommend

940
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 1: going with the Fire eighth. I know it's a little

941
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: bit more expensive than the eight, but I just think

942
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna better. It's kind of have a bigger screen,

943
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 1: it's a better battery life, just a little bit faster.

944
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: So that's one hundred and fifty dollars each. And if

945
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: you want to save some money on it, just wait

946
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,879
Speaker 1: until Black Friday or close to it, and you will

947
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: get a deal on this thing. I'd say at least

948
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: twenty dollars off. And since you're buying two, you probably

949
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 1: want to get Yeah, you probably want to get a

950
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 1: little bit of discount on this so that you're not

951
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,399
Speaker 1: spending a whole lot of money on that. So three

952
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: hundred bucks gets you the tablets, and then after that,

953
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,439
Speaker 1: I would recommend just going on Amazon and searching for

954
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: the magic keywords of headrest mount holder Kindle Fire, and

955
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: the one that I found is twenty one fifty. It's

956
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:50,800
Speaker 1: got five thousand reviews. It looks pretty straightforward. It straps

957
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: onto the back of your head rest and it holds

958
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: the tablet and the kids can watch their shows. You're

959
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: out three hundred and fifty dollars, the kids are quiet

960
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,760
Speaker 1: in the backseat, and Grandma looks like a major winner.

961
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:05,839
Speaker 1: So that's what i'd write. Oh, oh, Dora is your name?

962
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: Sorry Dora, not i'ma I don't know where I got

963
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: i'ma Dora. That is what I would recommend. And the

964
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 1: Fire tablets can easily handle all those places to stream.

965
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: You can set your phone as a hot spot so

966
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: they can watch stuff or better yet, you can just

967
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 1: download stuff. I mean, Prime Video has a whole bunch

968
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: of stuff for kids. You can download Disney Plus, lets

969
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: you download, Hulu, lets you download, Netflix, lets you download.

970
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: And it's really funny because I remember the days when

971
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 1: Netflix said we would never let people download our stuff,

972
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 1: no way, and sure.

973
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 2: Enough they did. Oh more Apple News. Are you sick

974
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 2: of it yet? Well?

975
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: Sorry, I told you this was a big week. This

976
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 1: one's really simple. Apple has introduced the HomePod Mini in

977
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: three new colors. They describe them as bold and expressive.

978
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 1: I describe them as yellow, orange, and blue. So the

979
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:58,280
Speaker 1: HomePod Mini is a ninety nine dollars smart speaker. Apple

980
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 1: says it sold really well this year, and I don't

981
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 1: see why not. I gave it really high marks in

982
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 1: my review. I reviewed the white one. They also make

983
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:11,759
Speaker 1: a space gray version as well. They're great. They're great

984
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 1: if you use Apple Music. They're great if you use Siri.

985
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 1: They're great if you have an iPhone. They're great if

986
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 1: you have a small place and you want a small,

987
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 1: little speaker to match. They're great if you want to

988
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 1: put a speaker in every room for cheap. They're great

989
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 1: if you want an alternative to Sonos. I don't have

990
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 1: them running in my house just because I've got sons

991
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: and I really like sons. But these speakers are fantastic.

992
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 1: I bought several of them. I bought one for my

993
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: niece for her college dorm room. I bought one for

994
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 1: my sister for her gym.

995
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 2: It's great.

996
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 1: I mean, there's not much more to say about it.

997
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 1: It doesn't really work with the major music services. It

998
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 1: works great with Apple Music, it works good with Pandora,

999
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,879
Speaker 1: but after that, I believe with Spotify and the other

1000
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: ones you have to airplay the stuff, which is not ideal.

1001
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: So if you don't mind, if you only use Apple Music,

1002
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 1: then I think this will be a great thing. And

1003
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:05,760
Speaker 1: the colors look great. They're you know, they're just different colors.

1004
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:07,959
Speaker 1: Not much more to say about that ninety nine bucks.

1005
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 1: They'll be available starting in November. Next question from Laura.

1006
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: I'm looking for a good photo scanning app form my

1007
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 1: iPhone thirteen. Do you have a recommendation? Yes, it's pretty simple.

1008
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: It's called photo scan by Google. This is a an

1009
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: app from Google.

1010
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 2: Let's see when the last.

1011
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:32,760
Speaker 1: Time they updated this app. I feel like it's getting

1012
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 1: a little old, but let's see if they've updated it.

1013
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: Last time they updated it oh gosh ooh sheesh March tenth,

1014
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. So uh yeah, they've given up on this.

1015
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:49,240
Speaker 1: Let's see when the uh android one was was last updated.

1016
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 1: Maybe they've maybe they've given a little more more love

1017
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 1: to the Android one. Let's see tell me when this

1018
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 1: was updated April twenty six, twenty nineteen. So they haven't

1019
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 1: really done much work on it. But I mean, what

1020
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: do you need to do on this? I mean, there's

1021
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: not much you need to do. So photo scan by

1022
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 1: Google Photos. It it takes four different pictures of your

1023
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 1: photo and it will merge them into one using Google

1024
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: Smart Ai and it will save it to your Google

1025
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 1: Photos or you can save it to your camera roll whatever.

1026
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 1: This is a very manual, very slow process.

1027
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:23,360
Speaker 2: So if you're.

1028
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 1: Scanning a whole bunch of pictures, I would recommend taking

1029
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 1: them to someone like scan my photos dot com. Or

1030
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 1: you can have someone come to you like Scantastic here

1031
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 1: in the LA area. Or you can get a photo

1032
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: scanner like the epsyn Fast Photo. But I mean, there's

1033
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 1: a lot of ways you can do this. But if

1034
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna scan a bunch of pictures, This scanner is

1035
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:47,880
Speaker 1: really more for like one, two, three, a couple pictures,

1036
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna do a whole bunch, you probably

1037
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: want something a little bit more high powered. But you

1038
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 1: said you wanted a photo scanning app, so that's your

1039
00:49:54,800 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 1: that's my recommendation. Let's see scan slide it's there is

1040
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 1: a another company that's doing a lot with photo scanning

1041
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: and it's let's see what they're It's called photo Mine

1042
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 1: m y n E photo Mine, and so they make

1043
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 1: a photo scanning app that is called photo Mine, and

1044
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 1: this one was let's say, I guarantee this was just

1045
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: updated recently.

1046
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,760
Speaker 2: It was updated.

1047
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 1: Where's it tell me version history? Yeah, October fourth, twenty

1048
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:38,359
Speaker 1: twenty one. So if you're looking for something that is

1049
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 1: really cutting edge, really up to date, I would check

1050
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: out photo scan app by photo Mine p h O

1051
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 1: t O M y n e uh. It's got a

1052
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 1: lot of ratings. I've not tested this Vernon. I tested

1053
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 1: the slide scan version of it, which for slides, and

1054
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 1: it was amazing. The only thing is you are gonna

1055
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: have an in app purchase, so they're gonna let you

1056
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:00,359
Speaker 1: do a couple and then you're gonna have to pay

1057
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: so I think the payment is just par for the course.

1058
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 1: If you're scanning a bunch of photos, why not pay

1059
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 1: and you can do a yearly for forty bucks. You

1060
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: can do it looks like monthly for anywhere from you know.

1061
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 1: Just they've a whole bunch of in app purchases that

1062
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:18,919
Speaker 1: I'm seeing, so you can choose the the subscription that's

1063
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: best for you. But yeah, I mean, just check out

Speaker 1: photo Mine.

1068
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 2: All right.

1069
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: Final story is bitcoin. I don't talk about bitcoin too

1070
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,360
Speaker 1: much on this show, but I am fascinated by bitcoin

1071
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:42,720
Speaker 1: because I do think that it is it's a fascinating

1072
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: or cryptocurrency. I should say, it's just a fascinating topic

1073
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: to me because it's like it's tech taking over one

1074
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 1: of the few things that government and banks and big

1075
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:56,360
Speaker 1: business have a real stronghold on and we have not

1076
00:51:56,480 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 1: seen much change in this industry, and technology has a

1077
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: way of kind of disrupting things, and so far, the

1078
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:05,800
Speaker 1: way that I use money has kind of stayed the

1079
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:09,320
Speaker 1: same forever, except for the photo. You know, the Venmos

1080
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 1: of the world and the paypals of the world. But

1081
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:15,240
Speaker 1: realistically those are just layers on top of an already

1082
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 1: archaic system, and the banking system and all that stuff

1083
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 1: is not very good. Credit cards, banks, it's all very

1084
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 1: like old school very much, not digital very much.

1085
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 2: Just kind of weird, right.

1086
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 1: So I find crypto really interesting because it's so futuristic,

1087
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:36,839
Speaker 1: it's so like peer to peer, it's so clean, and yeah,

1088
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:38,880
Speaker 1: I get, you know, all the mining stuff is a

1089
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 1: little tricky, but when I say clean, I mean it's like,

1090
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 1: you know, person a person. There's not like giant fees involved.

1091
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 1: There's you know, you can you can send money to

1092
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 1: anyone in the world, less friction, all that stuff, and

1093
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:54,720
Speaker 1: it's not really controlled by anyone, which is also really interesting. Anyway,

1094
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:56,879
Speaker 1: I say all this because bitcoin reached an all time

1095
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 1: high and a new high, I should say, and it's

1096
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 1: really on a roll. And the reason for this is

1097
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 1: because now Wall Street folks can invest in it, So

1098
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 1: they had this new ETF. If you're familiar with that.

1099
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 1: ETFs are kind of like a fund that you can

1100
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:13,320
Speaker 1: invest in, kind of like a mutual fund, but a

1101
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 1: little bit more current, a little more digital.

1102
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 2: How do I explain it. I don't know.

1103
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 1: All I know about ETFs is that they're like kind

1104
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 1: of like a mutual fund, but they're more nimble. I

1105
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 1: don't know how to explain. I'm not a financial person,

1106
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:31,800
Speaker 1: but this pro shares Bitcoin ETF. It's not investing in bitcoin,

1107
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:35,280
Speaker 1: but it's investing in It's kind of like bitcoin style investing.

1108
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 1: And so this is the first time that regular investors

1109
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:42,279
Speaker 1: can expose themselves sort of to bitcoin style investing. If

1110
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 1: that makes any sense at all, I hope I'm explaining

1111
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 1: that right. But basically, a whole bunch of people bought

1112
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 1: this fund, which makes bitcoin go up because other people

1113
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: see it, they're like, oh wow, So people actually think

1114
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: this bitcoin thing is around to stay, so they're investing

1115
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:57,720
Speaker 1: in it. And so a whole bunch of people invested

1116
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 1: in this fund on Wall Street, which leads bitcoin to

1117
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 1: go up. And now bitcoin seems like it's well on

1118
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 1: its way to even higher numbers. And this is just

1119
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 1: the first of several different funds. So there's going to

1120
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 1: be at least, according to the Wall Street Journal, two

1121
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: more and so two more big funds that let you

1122
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 1: invest in bitcoin without actually buying bitcoin, and so kind

1123
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:25,279
Speaker 1: of neat. Now, apparently the Securities and Exchange Commission does

1124
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:29,879
Speaker 1: not allow direct bitcoin investments buy these funds, so that's

1125
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:32,840
Speaker 1: why they're ETFs, which kind of mimic the fund. So

1126
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 1: hope my explanation somewhat got it. But the point is,

1127
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:39,800
Speaker 1: you know, I would just take a look at this stuff,

1128
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 1: kind of follow it, kind of understand it a little

1129
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 1: bit because it's it's really interesting. I don't really understand

1130
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 1: the whole bitcoin thing to an extent that a lot

1131
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:51,400
Speaker 1: of the bitcoin folks do, but I get the idea

1132
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,720
Speaker 1: that it's disrupting things, and it's going to take someone

1133
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: like Amazon or someone like, you know, a big company

1134
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 1: to accept bitcoin as a cayman for it to really

1135
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 1: get the ball rolling. We haven't even seen that happen yet,

1136
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:08,359
Speaker 1: so once we do start seeing that happen, it could be,

1137
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 1: you know, a really good thing for this stuff. All right,

1138
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 1: let's get to the final question of the day. Nora

1139
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:22,959
Speaker 1: writes about the Muama Portable Wireless router Muama Portable Wireless Router.

1140
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 1: I was wondering, if you know anything about this product,

1141
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 1: is it worthwhile? Is it safe to use? Being that

1142
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 1: it's made in Lithuania. I would appreciate any information you

1143
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 1: might have. I'm definitely not a tech savvy person. I

1144
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: don't want to mess up my Mac or my iPhone.

1145
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 1: Thank you, Nora. All right, Nora, a quick I've never

1146
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 1: heard of this this router, but a quick Google search.

1147
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 1: Hmm okay, Let's see what the questions are. Which portable

1148
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 1: Wi Fi router is best? Is the Mayuma legit? What's

1149
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:52,359
Speaker 1: the monthly cost? And does it work? And then the

1150
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:59,319
Speaker 1: first the first website is the Muama Ryoku review, does

1151
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,839
Speaker 1: it work or cheap portable Wi Fi? And where does

1152
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:05,279
Speaker 1: it come from? It comes from globalnewswire dot com. Let

1153
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:08,760
Speaker 1: me explain something. If you ever see a quote unquote

1154
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 1: review of a tech product on a press release website

1155
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 1: like pr Newswire or Global Newswire or any newswire website,

1156
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,840
Speaker 1: that means that the company has put out their own

1157
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,880
Speaker 1: review as a press release, hoping to get it to

1158
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 1: percolate through Google so that you see it when you

1159
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 1: search for something like this router. Now, if you search

1160
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 1: for a product that is legitimate, you'll see a review

1161
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 1: from the Verge, You'll see the review from c Net.

1162
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 1: From these reputable tech websites. Now, if you see a

1163
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 1: YouTube review. You can't really know if that's gonna be

1164
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 1: okay because anyone could put a YouTube review up. So

1165
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: if you see it from a trusted YouTube reviewer, that's

1166
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,239
Speaker 1: a little bit better. But all the reviews that I'm

1167
00:56:53,280 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 1: seeing from this are basically yeah, nothing that I'm seeing

1168
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 1: that I would trust. And so the bottom line, if

1169
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:07,239
Speaker 1: you actually go to the website, get ryoko. It's just

1170
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:11,840
Speaker 1: a four G router and that's all it is. And

1171
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 1: I would not get this router. If you want a router,

1172
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 1: you can go like a hot spot. You can go

1173
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 1: to your I don't even know why you need a

1174
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 1: hot spot. Your phone should function as this. But you

1175
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 1: can also go to your carrier Verizon, T Mobile, AT

1176
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 1: and T and get a hot spot that works with

1177
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 1: your plan, or if you don't want to get those,

1178
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 1: I like the z zte zmax Connect and that is

1179
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 1: an unlocked hot spot that's about ninety bucks.

1180
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 2: You can get that.

1181
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 1: You can put in any any you know, simcard to

1182
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 1: make it into a hot spot as long as it

1183
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 1: supports a hotspot functionality on that SIM card.

1184
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 2: But that's what I would do.

1185
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:52,959
Speaker 1: I would not deal with this random portable wireless router.

1186
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 1: That you probably saw advertised on some sort of website somewhere.

1187
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 1: That's what I would guess, like a social media site

1188
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: or something. You always make these things look so good. Oh,

1189
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 1: the sound of that music does mean that it is

1190
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 1: time for the end of the show. If you would

1191

Speaker 1: like to submit a question for me to answer, you
