WEBVTT - Samsung sets a date to show off its latest smartphones 0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:15.400 Samsung is ready to show off its newest phones, A 0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:20.200 cool tool for Instagram stories, a review of Amazon's inexpensive 0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:24.160 new fire tablets, plus your tech questions answered. 0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:24.880 What's going on? 0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:27.400 I'm Rich d'miro and this is Rich on Tech, the 0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:29.720 podcast where I talk about the tech stuff I think 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:32.360 you should know about. It's also the place where I 0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:35.120 answer the questions that you send me, and yes, you 0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:37.760 send me a lot of them. My name is Rich dmiro, 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:40.960 tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. Say 0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:42.680 hello to producer Megan. 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:44.920 Hello, how's it going? 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:47.600 It is going well. How are you doing? 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:50.040 I'm good, I'm doing well. 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:54.040 You sound fantastic this morning, so I think, oh, good, 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:57.920 all right. Whenever we record this, you know, it's podcasting, 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.160 there's not necessarily a time, so I try not to really, 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:03.960 you know, harp on the day or the date or 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:05.800 the time, because a lot of the stuff we talk 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:08.000 about in this show is actually pretty evergreen. I mean, 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.080 it's the news of the week, but it's much more 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:13.760 consumer focused than a lot of the shows. So how 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:15.480 have you been making the most of your time lately? 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:22.399 Lately? You know, a lot of working out and just 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:26.640 you know, I mean lots of iron. No, No, I mean, 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:28.360 like I like to go on my walks. That's like 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:31.319 my favorite thing. Like just put on a podcast and 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.120 like walk around the neighborhood. That's what I like to do. 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:37.080 So that's interesting to you listen to podcasts while you walk. 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:38.840 I the last time I did that was when I 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:42.039 had my first son. I had a whole list of 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:43.640 podcasts and I would take him on like an hour 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:46.360 long walk every day and just listen to podcasts. But 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.200 I haven't done that since that was nine years ago. 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:52.400 Really, so I that's how I listened to most of 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.440 my podcasts. I just pop one in and I go 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:56.040 for a walk. 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:58.640 It's interesting I have not listened to a podcast in 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.120 basically almost the whole quarantine a little bit. Like So 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:04.240 yesterday I had to drive to a story. It was 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:06.400 like an over an hour away and I was My 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:08.000 wife is like, oh my god, this so far, and 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.160 I said, no, I can't wait to drive for an 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:10.960 hour like it. 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:12.240 This is amazing. 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.120 Like I every story, it's it's like here in my 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:18.600 house and with Skype and with zoom and to get 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.359 to go somewhere to do something. But I will admit 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.400 I kind of forget how to drive a little bit, 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:25.640 Like I've noticed some like much more nervous on the road. 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:26.919 Have you been driving at all? 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:32.840 Only to go like produce a story? So but I 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.840 do like look forward to like go and get out. 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:38.880 It's definitely it's nice to like, you know, take a 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:40.400 break from being inside all the time. 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.800 It almost feels like it's wrong too, right, like just 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:45.280 being anywhere, like today I have to go to the 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:48.280 grocery store, and its just anytime I'm out, anytime I'm 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:50.839 not in my home, something feels weird. 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:52.920 I'm just like, this is not the way it's supposed 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:53.600 to be right now. 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:57.440 So yeah, anyway, all right, Well, good to hear. Everything's 0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.880 going well on your end. Everything's good over here. Let's 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.640 start with the story of the week, and that is 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:07.280 that Samsung has told us when they will unveil their 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:11.239 next smartphones and this is going to happen on Wednesday, 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:15.240 August fifth, twenty twenty. Well, I think you knew that, 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:19.720 and this is the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked twenty twenty. It 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.720 is going to be a virtual event. Now you've gone 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:25.160 to at least two Samsung events. 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:29.520 With me, right, yes, and right? And what one or 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:35.360 two Apple events, I think one app one Apple event. 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:39.400 Okay, so you've been to these events, they're pretty grand events. 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:42.520 There's usually food, there's a lot of journalists, there's a 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.400 lot of to do, there's a hands on area. None 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:48.320 of that stuff will be happening, you know, with this event, 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:52.320 because it's happening virtually. It will be live streamed on 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:56.400 Samsung dot com and I'm hoping YouTube live at ten 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.000 am Eastern, which I also think is an interesting choice 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:02.520 that they did ten am because US folks out here 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:04.560 on the West Coast now have to watch this at 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:08.000 seven am, which I think is kind of weird. I mean, 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:11.320 we're but I know, but if it's live on, if 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.360 it's a live stream, why not just you know, just 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:16.640 do it at one pm so that, you know, the 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.200 East Coast and West Coast can equally be awake. 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.719 But yeah, I agree, I don't know that's. 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:23.880 How they decided to do it. So what are we 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.760 going to see at this event? We are going to 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:30.800 see the new Note twenty that's what they're calling it, 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.640 or that's what the rumors are calling it. And then 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:38.520 also a Galaxy Fold smartphone. Also, I would say probably 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:40.640 a new smart watch when I think about what we're 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:42.240 going to see at these events. I just go back 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:44.040 in my head to last year's event and what did 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:46.440 they launch their you know, a watch. 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.320 A phone, and the foldable. 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:50.960 So we'll get the second version of the foldable and 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.240 it'll be interesting to see how Samsung does it. I 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:58.200 think Apple set the bar pretty high, but for their WWDC, 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:00.839 which was their Worldwide Developers Conference. It's the big difference 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:04.400 between these two events. This is sort of I feel 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.320 like it's the first virtual event where products are being 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:11.200 unveiled that normally journalists would go hands on with, and 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:13.599 they're not going to be able to do that, so 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:15.360 that's kind of different. 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:17.480 And yeah, now. 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:21.440 Samsung is also a little bit different than Apple, So 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:25.840 I could see a scenario where Samsung sends some devices 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:30.719 to select YouTubers and journalists beforehand so that they can 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.240 time their coverage with this. I probably am not one 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.880 of those journalists. I would assume. I don't know, but 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:38.480 I don't know. I'm usually in like that B list 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:39.320 of journalists. 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.960 That's not true. Wait, couldn't they do like a hands 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:46.919 on where you know, it's like an appointment kind of 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.120 thing where you go in at like your time and 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:51.640 then they clean everything and then you get what you need. 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:53.880 Like I feel like they could have figured it out 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:57.119 so that at least, yes, for someone like you, you could, 0:05:57.920 --> 0:05:58.440 but think. 0:05:58.240 --> 0:05:59.320 About it, it's not just me. 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.200 So now you have everyone has to fly somewhere, you 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:04.680 have to go into this room. You have to you know, 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:06.680 the people from Samsung have to be there for eight 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.719 hours for us to come in. So I get that idea, 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:13.800 but it's still when you really kind of think it through, yeah, 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:15.719 it's still tough. It's like not in the spirit. Like 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:18.320 I feel like the spirit of today is don't be 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:21.440 with anyone, don't do anything, don't be anywhere. 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:22.240 Don't hang out. You know. 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:25.919 It's it's like, yeah, you can't do all those things forever. 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:28.000 But that's kind of the spirit of today. 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.960 You know. It's like, as much as possible, just stay home. 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:35.080 So we will see. We'll see what Samsung has to 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.400 do and how they do it. And I don't know. 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:40.000 I mean people people want the hands on time from 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:43.120 journalists so that we know what these things are gonna 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:44.320 be like before you purchase them. 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:45.599 That's kind of the main thing. 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:46.920 Yeah, exactly. 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:51.760 Okay, now I've forgotten where your music is so hang on, okay, 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:55.520 Oh no, I gotta, I gotta. I switched everything around 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:56.919 and now I don't know. So I'm just gonna have 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.000 to see Let's I can go here. 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.360 Oh here it is. You are right there? 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:08.280 Perfect? Okay. This first question comes from Alfonso. Hey, Rich, 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:11.880 I appreciate your recommendations. Just picked up the Let's Fit 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.880 smart watch. My wife and I are looking for a good, 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:18.440 easy to manage mobile spycam to post up when our 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:25.600 kids are playing in the back or other rooms. Any suggestions, Oh, wow, spycam. 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:27.720 I know. 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:29.440 I was like, I thought he was going to ask 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:32.640 a question about something with the Let's Fit, but yeah, 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.880 looks like he needs a spy camp for his kids. 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:38.520 I think we talked about the Let's Fit either last 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.240 week or the week before. That is the inexpensive smart 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.480 watch and by the way, a lot of people got those. 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:46.400 And it's always nerve racking to me as a reviewer 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:49.520 when I give something pretty high praise. And in that case, 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.239 I gave the smart watch a it's okay for the money. 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:55.160 I gave the earbuds up. They're pretty good for the money, 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:57.520 and the earbuds are like twenty eight. The watch was 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:00.320 about thirty six. But I will say, Megan, I got 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:03.720 a lot of emails and tweets and Facebook messages and 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.400 instagrams from people that said they bought it and they're 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:07.560 actually very happy with it. 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:09.640 So to me, that's good. 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:13.840 Oh that's awesome. Yeah, okay, you know what you're talking about. 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:17.240 So to answer his question, wife and I are looking for, 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:21.440 you said mobile spycam. It's funny that they say spycam 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:23.080 and they're just looking for a little camera that they 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:25.080 can have to watch their kids. And I've thought about this, 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:27.200 like our kids are sometimes my wife and I are 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:29.280 inside having dinner and the kids are playing outside in 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:30.720 the backyard, and you just want to keep an eye 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.640 on them, or you know, if something happened to them, 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:35.120 like where they fell, you want to kind of like 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:37.680 recreate and see instead of asking them how. 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:41.599 They got hurt. So I would probably. 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:44.400 Recommend the wisecam outdoor, which has not come out yet. 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.400 But the reason I would recommend that is because it 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:50.080 has everything you need. It has a battery, it has 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:53.760 Wi Fi, it's you know, you just put it. Oh wait, no, 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:56.400 it doesn't have a battery. Hold on who, sorry, it 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.760 does not have a battery. Oh, oh, no, it does 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.240 not have a battery, so I might actually change my 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.560 thoughts on this. Hold on, Yes it does have a 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:12.160 bad Yes it does. Oh my god, I'm clearly it's clearly. 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:15.080 It hasn't come out yet, so you just thank you. 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.760 You know, I haven't played with it yet, so it's tough. Oh, 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:19.760 by the way, look how many people order this thing? 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:20.160 So far? 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:24.440 Eighty three thousand have ordered my camera. This is a 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:27.960 fifty dollars camera. It comes with the camera, which is wireless, 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.200 and it is it does have a battery, and it 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:33.320 is water resistant, so you could theoretically just pop this 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:36.520 in your backyard somewhere if you had. If you wanted 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:38.120 to mount it back there, you can do that as 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:40.720 well for fifty dollars. When these things come out, I'm 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.120 probably gonna buy four of them for the corners of 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:44.079 my home, right. 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:45.760 I don't see why it wouldn't. 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:47.840 But the only different, the only problem with these kind 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:50.360 of cameras is that you have to charge the battery 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:51.880 every three to six months. 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:52.800 And I do have another. 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:56.120 My ring doorbell is like that, and I have to 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.200 charge the battery every so often. 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:00.320 Feels like nowadays it's more often. 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.320 Than it was before before it had all these features, 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:05.680 but still it's something that keep you know, keep in mind. 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:07.839 I do have other cameras that are plugged in, and 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:10.120 they's so much easier because they just always work. But 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:12.920 I would recommend for outdoor cam for the kids, super simple, 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:16.520 fifty bucks. You can't get it today, so you have 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:18.319 to kind of right now it says sold out. They're 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:23.520 not even taking new orders, so that could be a problem. Otherwise, 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:27.080 what I'd recommend is what's called the ring stick up cam, 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:31.800 and the battery version of that is pretty simple. 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:33.199 Now that's going to be more expensive. 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:38.240 That is going to be stick up cam. Battery is 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:42.400 going to be ninety nine ninety nine, and that's going 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:45.520 to do everything you need and it's Ring. So the 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:47.640 only difference with that one is that if you want 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.280 it to record, you're going to have to pay the 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:54.079 yearly fee for the recording, so you can only access 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.920 it live for that one hundred dollars. And if you want, 0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:58.920 like let's say your kids came in crying because they 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:00.680 fell off the swing set, you wanted to see how 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:02.120 they fell off, you would not be able to do 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:05.840 that unless you were paying the monitoring fee. Right, So 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:09.360 these are little delineations that you kind of have to 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:11.640 you know, you have to kind of remember because all 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:14.320 these cameras are different. Now there is one more that 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.920 I would say, and Blink is now owned by Amazon, 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:22.520 and I would say they make an outdoor cam as well. 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:25.640 And let's see Blink outdoor. 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:27.880 Let's see where there's is. 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:31.200 Anyway I can't find it right now. Oh here it 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:35.320 is Blink x two outdoor camera. So if you get 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:38.160 one of those, which is ninety nine ninety nine, that 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:42.719 includes cloud storage, so maybe split the difference and do that, 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:44.800 and that one's the same thing. It's a two year 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.600 battery life by the way, which remember this at CS. 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.720 Remember that, I think so yeah from this year. 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:52.120 I think it was last year. 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.000 It's the first year you went and it was super 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.240 like we couldn't believe that you can get two years 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.840 of battery life on some double A batteries. 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:01.000 Anyway, good question. Moving on. 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:06.160 iOS fourteen beta. We talked about this last week. It 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:09.040 is available now as a public beta. So if you 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:11.800 want to try out iOS fourteen like I've been doing 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:13.360 for the past couple of weeks, you are free to 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.000 do that. I recommend you do it, but not on 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:19.640 your primary phone or iPad, because you don't want to 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:21.800 do that. I got an email from someone that said, hey, Rich, 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:25.800 I'm going on a I'm going on to make. 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:29.640 Sure I'm recording here. Oh yeah, that's always important. 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:31.600 They said, Rich, I'm going on a road trip and 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:34.760 I want to install iOS beta on my iPhone. Like 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:36.760 what do you think, blah blah blah, is it gonna work? 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.760 I said, don't, don't do it. Do not if you're 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:41.680 going on a road trip for the next month. I 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:43.640 think it was a long road trip. You do not 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:45.959 want to have a beta version of software. And he 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.880 specifically mentioned that he wanted to use Maps. I was like, 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:53.240 uh no, because yes, the beta version has been really solid, 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.760 but it's not one hundred percent. And number one, I 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:58.319 told you this last week. My battery life is horrendous. 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.480 And there's also little things that just don't work. Like 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:03.840 the other day yesterday when I was driving, I was 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.000 trying to get my Apple Maps and or my Google 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.440 Maps to work, and it just would not work for 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:10.120 a while, and it was just kind of like and 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:12.920 then my cellular signal was out for a little bit. 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.920 So all these little things, these little bugs need to 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:17.720 be worked out, So do not put this on your 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:18.679 primary device. 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:20.959 But if you have an iPhone. 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:22.440 Or an old iPad laying around that you don't really 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:23.960 care about, all you have to do is go to 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:27.680 Apple's public beta website. You click on iOS fourteen, You 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:31.520 download this profile it's called and this little profile instructs 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:34.920 your phone to then download the beta software. And once 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:37.240 you do that your phone, it takes you an hour 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:39.760 or so to download everything, install it, and then when 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:41.840 your phone restarts, boom, You've got the beta. 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.000 You can do the widgets and I'll tell you this. 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:47.000 Yes, there's a lot of little things that you can 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.240 do on the beta, but do you need it right now? 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:49.400 No? 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.840 Left, Folks who are you know, are doing this for 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:57.200 a living like myself, or doing this with an extra phone, 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:00.240 figure this stuff out and make it better. I want 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.640 to be the guinea pig, you know, So I mean 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:04.800 unless Look, I'm not going to say don't do it 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:06.440 because I'm a nerd and of course I want to 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:10.280 do this, But with your primary phone, there is always 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.240 there's always a potential for there to be a problem. 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:15.840 So that's what you need to keep in mind. But 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:17.680 that's what you need to do if you want iOS 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:21.800 fourteen on your device. So are you ready for iOS fourteen? 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:23.520 Megan? Are you excited for? 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:28.680 You know, I'm actually probably more excited for the next 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.680 iPhone to come out because I'm definitely going to get 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:32.560 the newer phone. 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:35.760 So I mean, yeah, I mean, I, oh, you're still. 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:37.480 On that's right, you're on like an eight plus or something. 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.240 Yeah, I just figured I get a new phone. And 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.720 then I was like, you know what, like, might as well, 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:45.680 you know, get the newer iPhone when it comes out, 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:47.120 although three months I would. 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:49.520 I mean, it's fine, you've waited this long, but like 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:53.160 the reality is, I can't imagine what the next phone 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:54.680 is going to have that's going to be much better 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:55.200 than this one. 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:59.400 It's the iPhone is so good that what more could they? 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.200 I mean, just maybe slightly better performance because I've noticed 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:04.360 that it's gotten a little laggy, like a little just 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:08.000 I mean just a teensy bit, not enough where it's 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:11.160 a big deal, but it's I've noticed it's not as 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.560 snappy as it was when I first got it. That's 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:15.440 just because apps continue to like, you know, try to 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:16.080 do more with. 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:16.720 The with the thing. 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:19.920 But anyway, I think you'd be perfectly happy with the eleven. 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:21.760 But at this point I think, yeah, since you, do 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:23.320 you think. 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:25.280 That they'll keep the eleven or do you think that 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:29.640 they'll get rid of it? I'm curious because. 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:31.960 Now I'm like, well, yeah, they've been playing games like 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:34.840 that lately. You're right, Like, they'll keep like the like 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.160 an older version, but not like the most recent. And 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:38.880 then they'll do you know, because they force you to 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.160 get the new one or like an older one. 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:42.280 But exactly. 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:45.560 No, that's a good question. I don't know that you 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:46.720 stumped me on my own show. 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:47.520 I know. 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:51.960 Sorry, I'm just curious. Okay, So the next question comes 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:56.160 from Christina. I'm a full time Southern California preschool teacher 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:59.040 who's looking for other ways to make some extra money 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:02.160 on the side. These days, there are so many online 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:06.120 job listing sites as well as people posting articles of 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:09.000 their own listings of places they think are good places 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:12.880 to look for side jobs. With so many listings article sites, 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:15.720 it's so hard to know which of these are indeed 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:18.680 legitimate and trustworthy. 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:21.120 I thought she was dropping the name in the indeed 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:26.680 job site. Would you happen to know or have any 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:30.200 listings of any legitimate online sites that are offering online 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:34.240 slash remote work for preschool teaching positions as well as 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:39.440 other remote fun, part time, no experience needed remote side jobs. 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:43.160 I agree, it is. 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:45.800 It is really tough, and it's been it's been a 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:48.760 while since I've looked for a job, to be honest, 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:50.680 because I was supposed to be a KTLA for like, 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:52.440 I don't know a year, and I've been there ten 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:56.920 so I don't even know year well. To be honest, 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:01.560 my initial this is probably too inside baseball, but my 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:04.800 initial offer from them was like literally I think it 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.480 was ninety days, like to test me out and so, 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:09.040 and I was like, I can't. I had like a 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:11.320 good job like that I was leaving. I was like, 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:14.600 I can't like leave my job for a ninety day trial. 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:17.080 And so, you know, we went back and forth and 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:18.840 it became, you know, a year. So I don't know 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:20.880 what it was, but anyway, it's it's been. Yeah, now 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:24.560 it's been ten years. But believe me, I've looked for 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.880 jobs many many times in my life, like before that, 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:32.360 and it is tough, like especially with these aggregators. What 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:34.960 they do is they just look around the web, scrape 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:36.879 up all the jobs that they find and put them 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:39.440 in their search engine, and it's really tough to tell 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:42.119 if it's new, if it's fresh, if it's good, if 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.359 it's bad, if it's a recopy. 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:45.159 Of an old job. 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:47.760 So I would say the best way to do it 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.280 the probably the overall best ways to go directly to 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:52.879 the companies that you want to get jobs at and 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:56.880 see the listings directly. Well, the number one best way 0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:57.960 to get any job is to. 0:17:57.920 --> 0:17:59.960 Talk to friends. That's yeah, number one. 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:02.200 I mean they have the inside scoop, they know what's 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:03.760 going on, they know who to talk to, they know 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:08.320 the hiring manager. That's not always possible in every job circumstance. 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:10.280 But with that said, I would. 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:14.399 Look at places like Indeed, So Indeed is probably. I 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:18.159 think it's the biggest job posting board out there, but 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:21.119 again I think some of it is direct posts and 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:24.679 other stuff they find online. So Indeed is good, But 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:27.240 is it the best I don't know. The other one 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:30.480 I like is I think LinkedIn is really really good 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:33.840 for job searches these days. And I think the reason 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:36.199 why you can do that is because you can, you know, 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:39.080 search for things. A lot of companies are posting stuff 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:40.880 you can see you're connected with, so you can get 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:44.160 in there, you can research companies, so that's a really 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:46.480 good look. That's a really good place as well. And 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:50.119 then zip recruiter, I know is really popular because a 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:53.520 lot of companies use zip recruiter to post their jobs, 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:56.040 so they have kind of like direct jobs. The other 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:58.960 little way to do it is if you search the 0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:02.679 kind of jobs you want, so work from home jobs. 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:06.240 Let's see what happens in Google up at the top. 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:09.840 They are now aggregating jobs and you'll see a box 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:10.320 in blue. 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:10.960 Do you see that? 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:14.400 I can. 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:16.680 Let's see, so. 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:19.920 You'll see jobs there that they've aggregated and you can 0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:22.879 really narrow down. You see, it's like a little special 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:24.480 blue box. You can't bring it up. You can't go 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:26.359 to like jobs dot Google dot com to bring it up. 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:28.840 You literally have to search whatever you want plus the 0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:31.399 word jobs, and that will bring up that blue box. 0:19:31.800 --> 0:19:33.720 Then once you're in that blue box, now you can 0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:35.280 start to look for stuff.

I feel 0:22:04.320 --> 0:22:07.800 really bad for Teams because I call it the Zoom 0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:10.240 you know, I didn't say want to be, but like 0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:13.320 it's their answer to Zoom. And I think Zoom is 0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:16.240 just like it's everyone wants to do zoom. Everyone knows zoom. 0:22:16.320 --> 0:22:19.720 It's easy, it's simple, it just works. 0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:23.640 And Teams, I feel like, is great and it's Microsoft 0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:25.320 and very smart people work there. 0:22:25.640 --> 0:22:27.000 But I feel like Teams is. 0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:28.840 Kind of the thing that people are forced to use, 0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:31.360 and so they're just kind of like, eh, it's teams. 0:22:31.880 --> 0:22:33.320 They're not excited about it. 0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:36.680 But with that said, Microsoft has been adding a lot 0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:38.879 of new features to teams because they definitely see the 0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:40.960 future in video chat. 0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:43.880 And one of their new features is called together Mode. 0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:47.560 And this basically cuts you out of your background and 0:22:47.640 --> 0:22:50.640 places you in a room with other people, like seats 0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:55.720 in a classroom, theater, or seats in a meeting room. 0:22:56.640 --> 0:22:58.000 You saw the video on it. 0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:01.840 I think it's so funny. I mean, it looks interesting, 0:23:02.000 --> 0:23:02.720 it's creative. 0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:05.080 It is creative. 0:23:05.119 --> 0:23:08.520 And my kids when they take their classes online on Zoom, 0:23:08.560 --> 0:23:10.200 I think it would be cute to see them all 0:23:10.200 --> 0:23:12.480 like in their seats in the classroom virtually. 0:23:12.720 --> 0:23:16.080 So it's kind of cool. So it's called together Mode 0:23:16.200 --> 0:23:17.360 it you know, that's it. 0:23:17.359 --> 0:23:20.000 It's just they say it makes meetings more engaging by 0:23:20.000 --> 0:23:22.800 helping you focus on other people's faces and body language. 0:23:24.400 --> 0:23:29.720 It's good for brainstorms, roundtable discussions. And it's auditorium view 0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:33.000 is rolling out now. It will be generally available in August, 0:23:33.080 --> 0:23:36.159 which means most people won't have access to this until August, 0:23:36.240 --> 0:23:38.600 and they say they're going to bring more views to 0:23:38.600 --> 0:23:41.680 together Mode in the future. It's just a cool little 0:23:41.680 --> 0:23:44.359 feature that I love to see. Like people were so 0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:47.040 hip on the virtual backgrounds with Zoom, this kind of 0:23:47.080 --> 0:23:49.040 takes that to a bigger. 0:23:48.960 --> 0:23:49.840 Much bigger level. 0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:57.440 Yeah, okay, This next question comes from Kim and looking 0:23:57.480 --> 0:24:01.040 for the best roque Who you suggest I need one 0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:03.840 for a four K and a non four K TV. 0:24:04.480 --> 0:24:08.040 My goal is to stream Disney plus Amazon and Netflix, 0:24:08.800 --> 0:24:12.560 easy install and remote working without Roku device having to 0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:14.760 be in site lines to work. 0:24:16.040 --> 0:24:18.960 Oh that's a that's a yeah, that's a big, a 0:24:19.000 --> 0:24:21.520 big thing, the whole site lines. So that means that 0:24:21.560 --> 0:24:23.480 you need, you know, you need a certain type of 0:24:23.560 --> 0:24:27.360 remote control for that, which means it's a RF remote 0:24:27.440 --> 0:24:31.240 versus an IR. RF means radio frequency, which means you 0:24:31.280 --> 0:24:33.840 can have the remote just in your hand pointed anywhere. 0:24:34.280 --> 0:24:36.280 IR means infrared, which means you have to have a 0:24:36.400 --> 0:24:37.960 direct line of sight to your TV. 0:24:38.920 --> 0:24:39.600 So the the. 0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:42.280 Roku that I would recommend it that does all these things. 0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:44.640 And of course I'm trying to find the cheapest one 0:24:44.680 --> 0:24:47.399 that does all these things, and I believe. 0:24:48.400 --> 0:24:50.840 Is the uh IS. It's got to be the Ultra 0:24:51.640 --> 0:24:53.000 because let's see here. 0:24:52.800 --> 0:24:55.840 So I'm looking right now at this uh what were 0:24:55.880 --> 0:24:57.440 her wants? 0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:00.480 She needs one for a four K and a non 0:25:00.520 --> 0:25:04.040 four K TV easy install. 0:25:04.520 --> 0:25:06.040 Oh, she wants to remote finder or. 0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:11.280 No remote working without Roku device having to be sidelined. 0:25:11.280 --> 0:25:16.400 OK, it's interesting that they don't mention that on their 0:25:17.720 --> 0:25:19.680 It's kind of weird they don't mention it. I'm looking 0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:23.120 at the like little comparison of the Rokus on their website, 0:25:23.560 --> 0:25:26.520 and so there's there's one, two, three, four, five, six 0:25:26.720 --> 0:25:29.920 seven Rokus to choose from, and that is confusing. 0:25:30.240 --> 0:25:31.200 They have the Roku. 0:25:30.920 --> 0:25:34.560 Express, Roku Express plus, Roku Premiere, Roku Streaming Stick plus 0:25:34.680 --> 0:25:38.159 Roku Streaming Stick plus h E, Roku Ultra LT, and 0:25:38.200 --> 0:25:41.600 then the Roku Ultra, and so it is. This is 0:25:41.720 --> 0:25:45.199 very intimidating for people to figure this out. But I 0:25:45.240 --> 0:25:47.400 would say, if she wants the best one, I would 0:25:47.440 --> 0:25:49.600 go with the Roku Ultra for the four K TV 0:25:50.320 --> 0:25:52.640 and then for the non four K. I wonder if 0:25:52.640 --> 0:25:55.480 she needs the remote, because I don't think you get 0:25:55.480 --> 0:26:00.399 the best remote when it comes to the you know, 0:26:00.600 --> 0:26:04.920 like the lesser one, the Express Yeah, like the one 0:26:04.920 --> 0:26:07.560 of the express ones or the Streaming Stick Plus. 0:26:08.000 --> 0:26:09.159 But I can't really tell it on here. 0:26:09.200 --> 0:26:11.240 But I do know for a fact that the Roku 0:26:11.400 --> 0:26:17.480 Ultra will do four K and it will do the remote. 0:26:17.720 --> 0:26:19.520 But I wonder if they should They should really say 0:26:19.560 --> 0:26:22.399 if the remote requires line of sight, that should be 0:26:22.440 --> 0:26:28.560 like a spec on here that I would expect. It's 0:26:28.640 --> 0:26:32.439 kind of weird that it doesn't. Let's see remote doesn't 0:26:32.440 --> 0:26:33.880 say anything about the remote. 0:26:33.920 --> 0:26:34.719 It's so weird. 0:26:34.800 --> 0:26:37.440 Like to me, that's like a okay, tech specs. Let's 0:26:37.440 --> 0:26:42.639 see audio features, remote control, enhanced voice remote with TV power, 0:26:42.720 --> 0:26:46.800 volume and mute buttons, plus headphone jack for private listening. Now, okay, 0:26:46.880 --> 0:26:50.480 so that's on the Roku Streaming Stick Plus. Now I'm 0:26:50.480 --> 0:26:53.400 gonna go to the other one, like the Ultra LT 0:26:53.520 --> 0:26:55.960 and see how they describe their remote, and then that'll 0:26:55.960 --> 0:26:58.800 give me an idea. If they describe it differently, then 0:26:58.960 --> 0:27:01.640 I know that it's a better remote. 0:27:01.720 --> 0:27:05.960 Right, So let's see what they say here remote control. 0:27:06.440 --> 0:27:09.959 Yeah, it does not say I find that odd. 0:27:10.200 --> 0:27:11.520 That is odd, So. 0:27:11.400 --> 0:27:12.199 That should be a big thing. 0:27:12.240 --> 0:27:14.280 Maybe they all work RF Maybe they're all like that 0:27:14.440 --> 0:27:16.439 and that's just the way that they work. So I 0:27:16.440 --> 0:27:18.000 mean it could be, but I'd have to search a 0:27:18.040 --> 0:27:19.639 little bit more, but I think the Ultra is probably 0:27:19.640 --> 0:27:23.600 the one she wants. Uh wow, expected to ship July sixteenth. 0:27:23.680 --> 0:27:25.679 Everything Megan is back ordered. 0:27:26.200 --> 0:27:26.919 Isn't this crazy? 0:27:27.040 --> 0:27:30.960 No? I know, I know it's so like I try 0:27:31.000 --> 0:27:33.280 not to get frustrated by it, but I'm like, okay, 0:27:33.320 --> 0:27:36.320 I thought Amazon Prime, but like within I don't know. 0:27:36.480 --> 0:27:39.760 Two days, yeah, not a week, not a. 0:27:39.720 --> 0:27:40.360 Week or not. 0:27:40.400 --> 0:27:44.160 Like I'm looking for, I'm doing like the backyard projector thing. 0:27:44.480 --> 0:27:45.720 So I'm actually doing two things. 0:27:45.720 --> 0:27:48.120 So I want it for myself personally, but I'm also 0:27:48.160 --> 0:27:50.520 going to do a story. Since I'm shopping for one, 0:27:50.600 --> 0:27:53.080 I want to compare like the top three and so 0:27:53.200 --> 0:27:53.960 I can't explain. 0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:57.600 So that's what my mom wants too. That is a 0:27:57.600 --> 0:28:00.399 good story. I feel like everyone's getting one. 0:28:00.680 --> 0:28:02.840 They are, which is why they're all sold out. So 0:28:03.480 --> 0:28:06.879 I'm trying to find a projector screen outdoor, like an 0:28:06.880 --> 0:28:10.080 outdoor one, and it's impossible to get on Amazon, and 0:28:10.119 --> 0:28:12.520 so my friend is lending me one. I've got one 0:28:12.560 --> 0:28:14.960 of the devices coming today, so I'm gonna try to 0:28:14.960 --> 0:28:16.760 set that up over the weekend. And the other two 0:28:17.080 --> 0:28:19.040 I emailed them to see if I can get a 0:28:19.160 --> 0:28:21.639 review unit, but they haven't gotten back to me, so 0:28:21.640 --> 0:28:24.040 I'll probably just order them on Amazon. But I looked 0:28:24.040 --> 0:28:26.520 at like, you know, three different levels, like ones the 0:28:26.640 --> 0:28:28.800 super cheap one, ones like the mid range, and then 0:28:28.840 --> 0:28:31.440 one's like a bit pricier, and I'm curious, like what 0:28:31.520 --> 0:28:32.800 do you get for those prices? 0:28:32.840 --> 0:28:34.480 And so I think it'll be a great story on 0:28:34.560 --> 0:28:37.679 KTLA soon. So I love that anyway. 0:28:37.720 --> 0:28:39.680 So I think we I kind of think we answered 0:28:39.720 --> 0:28:42.080 the question with the remote control, but I would go 0:28:42.120 --> 0:28:44.560 with the just those are the main things you have 0:28:44.560 --> 0:28:46.160 to look out for, is what kind of remote control, 0:28:46.200 --> 0:28:47.920 But go with the cheapest that you can find. Go 0:28:47.920 --> 0:28:50.800 to their website Roku dot com, slash Products, slash compare 0:28:51.280 --> 0:28:54.400 and just see, like which one is cheapest, that offers 0:28:54.400 --> 0:28:56.600 what you need, and I just wish they would write 0:28:56.600 --> 0:29:00.520 what the remote deal was, which would it makes sense 0:29:00.520 --> 0:29:04.040 for them to do it, but they just don't. So Okay, 0:29:05.280 --> 0:29:08.080 is it my turn? I think I have a review. 0:29:08.920 --> 0:29:13.240 I'm gonna talk about the Amazon Fire HD eight tablets. 0:29:13.320 --> 0:29:16.440 These are tablets that I have not recommended in the 0:29:16.480 --> 0:29:18.600 past because I just thought they were so cheap and 0:29:18.760 --> 0:29:21.360 just so useless that I just didn't really see. 0:29:21.120 --> 0:29:21.880 A place for them. 0:29:22.320 --> 0:29:26.080 But now I do, and they updated their tablets. This 0:29:26.160 --> 0:29:29.000 is the Fire HD eight from Amazon. They started ninety dollars. 0:29:29.280 --> 0:29:31.280 Here's what they've upgraded. They gave a little bit of 0:29:31.360 --> 0:29:34.560 extra RAM which makes it a little bit faster. They 0:29:34.600 --> 0:29:39.320 have an eight inch touchscreen. They have expandable memory up 0:29:39.360 --> 0:29:41.320 to a terabyte, so you can pop a memory card 0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:44.920 in there. And a terabyte that's a lot basis thirty two, 0:29:45.000 --> 0:29:48.560 which they've doubled. It used to be sixteen gigabytes. And 0:29:48.600 --> 0:29:50.800 then you can now get wireless, So I would recommend 0:29:50.880 --> 0:29:52.960 doing that because not only do you get wireless for 0:29:53.520 --> 0:29:56.320 twenty dollars extra the Plus model, but you also get 0:29:56.320 --> 0:29:58.560 a faster wired charger in the box, and if you 0:29:58.600 --> 0:30:01.080 have kids. You know that they're burning through the battery 0:30:01.120 --> 0:30:03.560 on these things playing games, and so you want to 0:30:03.560 --> 0:30:04.600 be able to charge it faster. 0:30:04.640 --> 0:30:05.680 If you're using an old. 0:30:05.560 --> 0:30:07.920 Charger that you have laying around the house, you're doing 0:30:07.920 --> 0:30:10.600 yourself a disservice because it's going to charge these things 0:30:10.640 --> 0:30:15.400 really slow. They do also have a new USB C connector, 0:30:15.720 --> 0:30:18.240 which is kind of the new modern connector that a 0:30:18.240 --> 0:30:20.560 lot of things have, and so that's really nice. For 0:30:20.640 --> 0:30:24.680 many years these had micro USB and it was just garbage. 0:30:25.360 --> 0:30:28.560 The hardware on these tablets. Okay, they're not the best, 0:30:28.600 --> 0:30:31.440 but it's it's fine for playing games. It's fine for 0:30:31.480 --> 0:30:34.120 playing games, it's fine for watching movies, it's fine for 0:30:34.200 --> 0:30:38.320 reading books. I call this a consumption device. You're not 0:30:38.440 --> 0:30:41.160 going to be doing your work email on here. In fact, 0:30:41.520 --> 0:30:44.400 even web surfing is just okay. The screen is not 0:30:44.480 --> 0:30:47.760 the clearest. This is not an iPad. There's no Google 0:30:47.800 --> 0:30:49.720 play stores. You have to get all your stuff from 0:30:49.720 --> 0:30:54.240 the Kindle app Store or the Amazon App Store. So 0:30:54.640 --> 0:30:56.920 you can't get Google Maps, you can't get Gmail, you 0:30:56.960 --> 0:30:59.720 can't get YouTube. When I say that, I mean you 0:30:59.720 --> 0:31:02.040 can't get the apps. You can always access these things 0:31:02.160 --> 0:31:04.720 via the website, which is just fine. And there are 0:31:04.800 --> 0:31:10.680 popular apps inside Amazon's app store, including Disney Plus, Facebook, Netflix, Roadblocks, Minecraft, 0:31:11.040 --> 0:31:14.680 Instagram somehow, and I did check Zoom. So I got 0:31:14.680 --> 0:31:17.120 a question from a couple of viewers yesterday saying, wait, 0:31:17.520 --> 0:31:19.880 can I use this as a Zoom device? And sure 0:31:19.960 --> 0:31:21.400 enough I tested it out with Zoom. 0:31:21.480 --> 0:31:22.160 It works great. 0:31:22.560 --> 0:31:24.600 So if you want a ninety dollars device that you 0:31:24.640 --> 0:31:28.080 have on your desk just to zoom with perfect I mean, 0:31:28.080 --> 0:31:31.000 that's a pretty cheap way to zoom that doesn't require 0:31:31.040 --> 0:31:33.360 a laptop or inexpensive. 0:31:32.840 --> 0:31:33.760 Actually really smart. 0:31:33.920 --> 0:31:37.880 Yeah, yeah, so that's kind of my thing. This is 0:31:38.120 --> 0:31:40.120 I think the bottom line with this device is just 0:31:40.200 --> 0:31:42.640 know what you're getting. You're paying ninety to one hundred 0:31:42.680 --> 0:31:45.040 and twenty dollars one hundred and ten dollars. Now, if 0:31:45.040 --> 0:31:47.280 you want the kids version, there is a kid's version 0:31:47.600 --> 0:31:49.400 which is one hundred and forty dollars. It comes with 0:31:49.480 --> 0:31:52.080 a kind of a tough foam rubbery case with also 0:31:52.120 --> 0:31:54.360 a built in stand, and if your kid breaks this 0:31:54.440 --> 0:31:56.640 thing in the first two years, Amazon will send you 0:31:57.000 --> 0:32:00.840 a new one, no questions asked. I would probably recommend 0:32:00.840 --> 0:32:02.560 going that route if you have a kid. My kids 0:32:02.600 --> 0:32:05.480 have been using them around the house without the case 0:32:05.560 --> 0:32:07.840 at all, and they have dropped them once. But you 0:32:07.880 --> 0:32:09.760 don't you really don't want to do that because you're 0:32:09.800 --> 0:32:11.600 gonna You're gonna ruin this thing if you drop it. 0:32:12.000 --> 0:32:14.280 And my kids, by the way, Megan, love these devices. 0:32:15.360 --> 0:32:18.520 Do they Yeah, so they're a little bit faster than 0:32:18.520 --> 0:32:22.360 their old iPad minis, but they like them mainly because 0:32:22.360 --> 0:32:24.760 they did it. They just play Minecraft in Roadblocks and 0:32:24.800 --> 0:32:26.520 they say that they're a little bit faster than their 0:32:26.560 --> 0:32:28.600 iPads and wow. 0:32:29.600 --> 0:32:31.520 But the there's a. 0:32:31.440 --> 0:32:34.240 Very big lack of educational apps on there, I think, 0:32:34.800 --> 0:32:37.080 And so I personally, I am still going to be 0:32:37.080 --> 0:32:39.280 getting them new iPads. But I love the idea of 0:32:39.360 --> 0:32:41.200 just spending ninety bucks. And I think that's what attracts 0:32:41.240 --> 0:32:42.960 a lot of parents to these things, is that they're 0:32:43.040 --> 0:32:45.160 so cheap. It's almost like I can just go out 0:32:45.200 --> 0:32:47.480 and buy it today because it's you know, it's not 0:32:47.560 --> 0:32:50.479 a big investment, but you have to remember, you know, 0:32:50.560 --> 0:32:54.320 it's still ninety dollars. And for the iPad, the iPads 0:32:54.520 --> 0:32:58.960 are right now about two seventy nine on sale iPad deal. 0:33:00.600 --> 0:33:02.280 They've been on sale because the new ones are probably 0:33:02.320 --> 0:33:05.640 coming out. Yeah, two seventy nine. So that's you know, 0:33:05.680 --> 0:33:08.720 you're paying what less than two hundred dollars more for 0:33:08.800 --> 0:33:09.959 a much better device. 0:33:11.080 --> 0:33:15.960 Yeah, that's it. Cool, your turn. 0:33:16.400 --> 0:33:20.560 Okay, This next question comes from Richard, who lives in Hemmett. 0:33:20.760 --> 0:33:22.760 I was talking to my brother who likes to rent 0:33:22.800 --> 0:33:25.840 vacation homes, and I asked him if he ever sweeps 0:33:25.880 --> 0:33:29.680 the houses for cameras and microphones. He said, there aren't 0:33:29.720 --> 0:33:32.280 any apps for that. My question is, are there any 0:33:32.320 --> 0:33:35.680 apps that can do that or any affordable devices that 0:33:35.760 --> 0:33:39.080 can see hidden cameras and or microphones? 0:33:40.000 --> 0:33:43.200 So this rang a bell with me on a segment 0:33:43.280 --> 0:33:46.560 we did a while back. We did not testicle, but 0:33:46.600 --> 0:33:47.360 you remember. 0:33:47.040 --> 0:33:48.760 This right, Yeah. 0:33:49.080 --> 0:33:49.480 Yeah. 0:33:49.520 --> 0:33:50.360 I had to look it up. 0:33:50.400 --> 0:33:53.840 But it's called the SCOUT Hidden Camera Detector and it's 0:33:53.880 --> 0:33:57.959 a fifty dollars device that you look through and it 0:33:59.000 --> 0:34:01.160 I forget how this thing works, but I think there's 0:34:01.160 --> 0:34:04.760 like IR there's an IR light around the lens and 0:34:04.800 --> 0:34:08.160 when you look through it, that IR light will reflect 0:34:08.320 --> 0:34:11.000 on the lens of these hidden cameras. 0:34:11.080 --> 0:34:12.200 Is that kind of ring a bell? 0:34:12.520 --> 0:34:13.360 Yeah? 0:34:13.600 --> 0:34:14.919 And that's it. You just kind of look around. 0:34:14.960 --> 0:34:17.120 There's no it's not like a very high tech device, 0:34:17.200 --> 0:34:19.320 but it's just simple and it works and you just 0:34:19.400 --> 0:34:21.360 kind of look through it, kind of aim it around 0:34:21.400 --> 0:34:24.279 the room, and any little lenses will reflect light back 0:34:24.320 --> 0:34:27.759 to you, I think because they have like an ir. 0:34:29.440 --> 0:34:30.880 Like a little like ir thing on. 0:34:31.239 --> 0:34:34.560 The lens, like it it requires that to like see 0:34:34.600 --> 0:34:38.200 I don't know, but light. Oh, light bounces off camera 0:34:38.280 --> 0:34:41.799 lenses and most cameras also have an infrared filter which 0:34:41.840 --> 0:34:45.200 bounces even more light back. So that's how it works. 0:34:45.520 --> 0:34:49.320 And it takes two double A batteries. It's sold on 0:34:49.360 --> 0:34:52.680 a website called spy Guy, and I've actually followed the 0:34:52.680 --> 0:34:54.920 guy who created this thing. I think his name is 0:34:55.000 --> 0:34:57.600 Aaron on Twitter, and he's a fun guy because he 0:34:57.640 --> 0:34:59.719 talks about his business a lot, like how he you know, 0:35:00.600 --> 0:35:03.919 sells these things and stuff. So that's a spy guy 0:35:03.960 --> 0:35:07.719 dot com or just search scout hidden camera Detector. I 0:35:07.719 --> 0:35:10.640 don't stay in a lot of airbnbs, but if I did. 0:35:10.480 --> 0:35:11.319 I do. 0:35:11.400 --> 0:35:13.880 Look like we've talked about this before, but I do 0:35:13.960 --> 0:35:16.799 like a cursory glance around the room if I'm in 0:35:16.840 --> 0:35:21.360 a hotel or something, especially the greats in the bathroom. 0:35:21.440 --> 0:35:23.120 I always kind of check out, like just to see 0:35:23.160 --> 0:35:27.080 because I'm always I don't think it's a very prevalent thing, 0:35:27.239 --> 0:35:28.320 but it does happen. 0:35:29.000 --> 0:35:31.600 And no, I mean I don't really think about it 0:35:31.640 --> 0:35:36.120 that much, but then like after you know, thinking about it, 0:35:36.160 --> 0:35:39.360 you're like, wait, that totally can be a thing, especially 0:35:39.360 --> 0:35:40.120 in airbnbs. 0:35:40.320 --> 0:35:42.120 Yeah, like right. 0:35:42.000 --> 0:35:44.080 Where there where it's owned by a person and not 0:35:44.160 --> 0:35:47.720 a company. Like like let's say you're at a chain hotel. 0:35:48.040 --> 0:35:50.000 There's a lot of different people coming in and out 0:35:50.040 --> 0:35:53.440 of that hotel, like let's say cleaning people, So what 0:35:53.840 --> 0:35:57.560 like not every single cleaning person is gonna like hide 0:35:57.560 --> 0:36:00.200 the fact that there's a hidden camera in five of 0:36:00.239 --> 0:36:02.319 the rooms at this hotel. You know, these people are 0:36:02.320 --> 0:36:03.600 gonna while they're cleaning notice. 0:36:03.440 --> 0:36:04.440 It and be like what's that. 0:36:04.920 --> 0:36:08.840 Whereas an Airbnb, it's much easier to do because it's yours. 0:36:09.160 --> 0:36:11.520 You're the one that's kind of hiring the crews. You're 0:36:11.520 --> 0:36:14.120 the one, you know, let's say between visitors you hide 0:36:14.120 --> 0:36:15.560 this thing and then put it back out. I mean, 0:36:15.800 --> 0:36:17.839 it's it's a real possibility. I don't think it's a 0:36:18.000 --> 0:36:21.600 very big thing happening, but again, if you're trying to 0:36:21.600 --> 0:36:24.480 protect yourself, then why not be armed with the device 0:36:24.600 --> 0:36:25.160 that you need. 0:36:26.000 --> 0:36:29.080 That's the way I see it. All right, weird question, 0:36:29.160 --> 0:36:30.120 but a good one. 0:36:31.880 --> 0:36:32.440 Kind of weird. 0:36:32.560 --> 0:36:34.880 Yeah, all right, so let's see a couple of things 0:36:34.920 --> 0:36:36.640 to get through. I got, Wow, I got a lot 0:36:36.680 --> 0:36:37.879 more stuff. Let's see. 0:36:37.920 --> 0:36:40.920 I did a review of two meal planning apps. One 0:36:41.000 --> 0:36:46.880 is called e Meals, the others called meal Lime so emaals. 0:36:47.000 --> 0:36:50.839 These are these are apps that you know, you've got 0:36:50.840 --> 0:36:53.200 those subscription boxes like my wife and I get hell 0:36:53.239 --> 0:36:55.800 Afresh and each week it comes to the house filled 0:36:55.800 --> 0:36:58.440 with stuff that you just cook. Now, that's one way 0:36:58.480 --> 0:37:00.160 of doing it. The other way is kind of like 0:37:00.160 --> 0:37:02.799 through these apps. And these apps are kind of like mealboxes, 0:37:02.800 --> 0:37:03.960 but that you make yourself. 0:37:04.480 --> 0:37:06.080 So let me explain. 0:37:06.160 --> 0:37:08.440 Like with emals, you sign up and then they have 0:37:08.440 --> 0:37:10.719 a whole bunch of recipes, You pick your recipes. It 0:37:10.760 --> 0:37:13.000 makes a shopping list for you, and then you can 0:37:13.040 --> 0:37:14.959 print out that shopping list or just bring your phone 0:37:15.000 --> 0:37:18.400 to the store, buy those groceries and make the recipes. 0:37:19.040 --> 0:37:20.879 Or what I think is kind of brilliant about these 0:37:20.920 --> 0:37:23.880 apps and how they've evolved over the years is that 0:37:23.960 --> 0:37:26.680 you can transfer your list of stuff to buy too 0:37:27.120 --> 0:37:30.040 an online grocer so like an Amazon Fresh, you can 0:37:30.120 --> 0:37:32.600 just in one click, your whole shopping list goes there 0:37:32.840 --> 0:37:34.719 and boom, now you have all the ingredients you need 0:37:34.760 --> 0:37:38.680 for these dishes. And so e Meals said that the 0:37:38.760 --> 0:37:41.920 average user saves about two thousand dollars in annual grocery spending. 0:37:42.320 --> 0:37:45.440 It's thirty dollars for three months, sixty dollars for twelve months. 0:37:46.080 --> 0:37:48.920 I tried emails twice in the past. My wife doesn't 0:37:48.960 --> 0:37:52.919 like them as much. I think they're fine. It's they're 0:37:52.960 --> 0:37:56.759 just okay for me. So my only consideration if you 0:37:56.800 --> 0:37:58.400 try them with a free trial, which you get a 0:37:58.400 --> 0:38:02.000 two week free trial, sign up up through iTunes or 0:38:02.080 --> 0:38:04.560 Google Play and not their website. If you sign up 0:38:04.560 --> 0:38:07.360 through their website, you have to call in to cancel. 0:38:07.440 --> 0:38:10.319 And I did this myself and now I've I'm in 0:38:10.320 --> 0:38:12.480 my fourteen days and I got to call to cancel, Megan, 0:38:12.600 --> 0:38:16.279 because I know, yeah, which is kind of a pain. 0:38:16.320 --> 0:38:17.040 I'm not a big fan. 0:38:17.120 --> 0:38:20.520 Like that to me is like that's not a modern experience, 0:38:21.080 --> 0:38:21.920 you know what I'm saying. 0:38:21.680 --> 0:38:25.440 Well, it's yeah, exactly, And like it's almost like they 0:38:25.480 --> 0:38:28.640 want to be able to persuade you to not cancel. Oh, 0:38:28.680 --> 0:38:31.359 of course, And that's just they're comfortable, just like, let 0:38:31.400 --> 0:38:32.439 me cancel. 0:38:32.280 --> 0:38:34.680 Right, and so you should you know, I get I 0:38:34.680 --> 0:38:36.359 get why they want me to call in, so they 0:38:36.360 --> 0:38:40.359 get that one last pitch. But as a modern as 0:38:40.400 --> 0:38:42.480 a modern person who wants to do things in a 0:38:42.520 --> 0:38:46.160 modern way, I don't want to do that now. Meal 0:38:46.200 --> 0:38:50.400 lime is very simple, is very similar you, It's very customized, 0:38:50.400 --> 0:38:53.720 and I think you'd like this, Megan for your low carb, vegan, 0:38:53.800 --> 0:38:54.520 keto diet. 0:38:55.000 --> 0:38:58.640 So you can choose, you. 0:38:58.560 --> 0:39:03.360 Can choose from any of these various you know, eating styles, 0:39:03.800 --> 0:39:05.960 and then you can also put in your allergies and 0:39:06.120 --> 0:39:09.480 your dietary restrictions. So for me personally, I don't like 0:39:09.520 --> 0:39:11.920 goat cheese and anything. So I can literally put goat 0:39:12.000 --> 0:39:15.680 cheese and I'll never see a recipe with goat cheese 0:39:15.680 --> 0:39:16.080 in it. 0:39:16.120 --> 0:39:17.080 Isn't that kind of brilliant? 0:39:17.880 --> 0:39:19.440 Yeah? That is brilliant. 0:39:19.520 --> 0:39:22.520 So for you, what would that food be that I 0:39:22.560 --> 0:39:24.799 don't want in? Yeah?

There's a sushi kitchen in the Walgreens right 0:41:14.920 --> 0:41:17.880 by our work, and there's this one sushi that's like 0:41:17.920 --> 0:41:20.439 it's like a California roll, but it has some sort 0:41:20.480 --> 0:41:22.799 of like sauce on it, like. 0:41:22.719 --> 0:41:25.080 A creamy it's sweet sauce. 0:41:25.160 --> 0:41:27.279 It's like almost like creamy.

And I don't even know what it's called. 0:41:34.560 --> 0:41:36.520 But every time I see it there, I love it. 0:41:36.560 --> 0:41:38.640 But I can never find it at a restaurant, like 0:41:38.719 --> 0:41:40.239 and you know, I tell my wife and she's like, 0:41:40.239 --> 0:41:41.799 nobody really makes that except them. 0:41:41.840 --> 0:41:45.239 I'm like, what, so now I want to try that. 0:41:45.360 --> 0:41:45.640 It is. 0:41:45.760 --> 0:41:47.719 It's really good, but it feels so funny that it 0:41:47.760 --> 0:41:51.040 comes from a drugstore. 0:41:51.840 --> 0:41:53.640 Yeah no, that's like pretty random. 0:41:53.760 --> 0:41:58.120 Yeah it is, but it's good only in La Walgreen Sushi. 0:41:58.120 --> 0:41:58.839 You gotta try it. 0:41:59.000 --> 0:42:03.480 Yeah, okay, Meal Lime, So you start your preferences and 0:42:03.520 --> 0:42:05.160 then now you do the same thing, you pick your 0:42:05.200 --> 0:42:07.399 meals and then it makes you your shopping list, which 0:42:07.400 --> 0:42:11.960 you can of course do yourself or again transfer to Walmart, 0:42:12.719 --> 0:42:14.319 Amazon Fresh, whatever you want. 0:42:14.680 --> 0:42:17.840 Meal Lime. I like their business model. It's totally free. 0:42:18.520 --> 0:42:20.799 Of course, when I used it for free, all the 0:42:20.800 --> 0:42:23.000 best meals like that I wanted of cook were like 0:42:23.040 --> 0:42:24.680 the pro. So you have to go pro for six 0:42:24.719 --> 0:42:26.759 dollars a month if you want to access all the 0:42:26.840 --> 0:42:30.719 recipes and see nutritional information. So if you're trying to 0:42:30.719 --> 0:42:33.600 watch like a certain thing, like you know, sugar intake 0:42:33.719 --> 0:42:37.520 or cholesterol or saturated fat, you want to pay that 0:42:37.560 --> 0:42:39.919 six dollars a month. But the cool thing is that 0:42:40.000 --> 0:42:42.000 you can use it for free if you want or 0:42:42.800 --> 0:42:44.640 and by the way, they don't you can cancel and 0:42:44.680 --> 0:42:47.840 subscribe right through the app like you can on e Meals. 0:42:48.239 --> 0:42:50.040 But as far as I know, that's the only way. 0:42:50.040 --> 0:42:51.799 Like they're not trying to call you. You're not trying. They're 0:42:51.800 --> 0:42:52.480 not trying to make you. 0:42:52.440 --> 0:42:58.279 Call them, So I got it all right. Okay, one 0:42:58.360 --> 0:42:59.920 quick question, do we have a quick one. 0:42:59.840 --> 0:43:03.040 Yes, we have a quick one. This is from Talisha. 0:43:03.640 --> 0:43:07.000 We are searching in Vain to find reliable apps to 0:43:07.040 --> 0:43:12.439 record notes and zoom lectures for Android, cell and iPad air. 0:43:13.000 --> 0:43:14.759 Please advise. Thanks. 0:43:15.280 --> 0:43:17.720 Oh this is a good question. Okay. 0:43:17.760 --> 0:43:21.400 Two things otter O t T E R dot Ai. 0:43:22.080 --> 0:43:26.360 Otter ai is really good and I've used this before. 0:43:26.520 --> 0:43:29.560 It basically records the conversation or whatever it is, you know, 0:43:29.600 --> 0:43:31.959 the the whatever you know, like the you know what I'm. 0:43:31.880 --> 0:43:34.840 Saying, yeah, the presentation. 0:43:35.800 --> 0:43:36.240 Yeah. 0:43:36.280 --> 0:43:38.560 So it records it and it transcribes it, and you 0:43:38.560 --> 0:43:41.600 get a certain amount for free every month. I it's amazing. 0:43:41.800 --> 0:43:44.640 It's it's really really good. Plus it's a platform, so 0:43:44.640 --> 0:43:46.200 it's not just a one off kind of thing. It 0:43:46.280 --> 0:43:48.600 actually keeps all your notes. You can search for them. 0:43:49.000 --> 0:43:53.279 It's really really fantastic. The other one is. 0:43:54.000 --> 0:43:55.200 Oh gosh, what's it called? 0:43:55.239 --> 0:43:59.440 Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, I can't remember. 0:44:00.120 --> 0:44:05.160 Oh no, this is from the guy who created oh 0:44:05.160 --> 0:44:06.920 my gosh. Oh descript that's what it is. 0:44:07.000 --> 0:44:11.720 D scripta okay, descript if you want to do transcripts 0:44:11.719 --> 0:44:14.360 of Zoom. I'm not sure if otter handles that, but 0:44:14.440 --> 0:44:16.680 I know that Descript can do it, because they sent 0:44:16.760 --> 0:44:19.440 me an email that said something about that. But Descript 0:44:19.560 --> 0:44:21.560 is really cool, but I do believe you have to 0:44:21.560 --> 0:44:25.640 pay for They have a free plan which just gives 0:44:25.640 --> 0:44:26.760 you a one time. 0:44:26.600 --> 0:44:27.880 Trial of three hours. 0:44:27.920 --> 0:44:30.440 So if you really want to do this, you got 0:44:30.440 --> 0:44:32.120 to pay ten dollars a month, which is kind of 0:44:32.120 --> 0:44:35.759 a lot for a student. But it may be worth it, 0:44:35.800 --> 0:44:37.279 you know. I don't know what they're doing, but it's 0:44:37.360 --> 0:44:38.200 it might be worth it. 0:44:38.440 --> 0:44:39.239 But those are the two. 0:44:39.400 --> 0:44:43.080 The one that's totally free that's also really good, but 0:44:43.719 --> 0:44:48.000 it only works on certain phones is Google's recorder app. 0:44:48.520 --> 0:44:52.399 And this only works with certain devices I think primarily 0:44:53.280 --> 0:44:56.520 just Pixel devices. But if you want to search Google 0:44:56.560 --> 0:44:59.360 Recorder in Google Play, see if it works if you 0:44:59.400 --> 0:45:01.719 have an Android. It's only Android, by the way, but 0:45:01.760 --> 0:45:05.840 I think it only works with the Android devices, or sorry, 0:45:05.840 --> 0:45:07.960 with the Pixel devices. I could be wrong about that, 0:45:08.440 --> 0:45:12.600 but that Megan. That one's fantastic because it really does 0:45:12.600 --> 0:45:13.120 a great job. 0:45:13.160 --> 0:45:14.960 It's Google. I mean, they're they're pretty smart. 0:45:16.000 --> 0:45:17.160 They know what they're doing, all right. 0:45:17.160 --> 0:45:20.399 Two little things to do before I go, Before we go, 0:45:20.560 --> 0:45:22.799 and one is that at and T is now giving 0:45:22.800 --> 0:45:27.879 a discount to teachers, nurses, and doctors, so twenty five 0:45:27.920 --> 0:45:32.000 percent savings on their unlimited plans so unlimited, Starter, Extra, 0:45:32.040 --> 0:45:34.640 and Elite. I did the math. It's actually a pretty 0:45:34.680 --> 0:45:37.360 good deal. So if you're a teacher, a nurse, or 0:45:37.400 --> 0:45:40.319 a doctor, definitely look into this. It's for new and 0:45:40.400 --> 0:45:44.879 existing customers twenty five percent off, which is definitely adds up, 0:45:45.280 --> 0:45:48.560 and it's it's not bad. It starts on July tenth, 0:45:48.920 --> 0:45:53.080 and it's AT and T dot com slash appreciation, ATT 0:45:53.320 --> 0:45:57.160 dot com slash appreciation. And of course, people are debating 0:45:57.160 --> 0:45:59.480 the merits of this on my Facebook page, saying that 0:45:59.680 --> 0:46:03.160 you know, oh yeah. 0:46:01.880 --> 0:46:03.399 But whatever, just check it out. 0:46:03.840 --> 0:46:05.719 Whatever they think, it's you. 0:46:05.680 --> 0:46:07.960 Know, they just everyone always has an opinion on things, 0:46:07.960 --> 0:46:08.520 which is fine. 0:46:08.600 --> 0:46:10.600 Yeah, but you know, check it out, see if it works. 0:46:10.640 --> 0:46:12.600 I mean, my wife and I are considering switching to 0:46:12.640 --> 0:46:14.520 AT and T because it would be a good deal 0:46:14.560 --> 0:46:16.280 for us. It would save us I think, like sixty 0:46:16.320 --> 0:46:16.640 a month. 0:46:17.280 --> 0:46:18.879 So but it's you know, it's. 0:46:18.760 --> 0:46:21.000 A pain to switch providers kind of. I mean, it's 0:46:21.000 --> 0:46:23.640 really not, but it's just it's more like psychological pain. 0:46:24.120 --> 0:46:25.640 You know, you gotta switch things out. 0:46:25.680 --> 0:46:26.000 Whatever. 0:46:26.520 --> 0:46:29.120 Okay, now, this thing. I think you'll like, Megan, and 0:46:29.160 --> 0:46:29.920 this is kind of. 0:46:30.000 --> 0:46:30.920 This is really cool. 0:46:30.960 --> 0:46:35.280 Actually, this is a thing called two stories dot app 0:46:35.480 --> 0:46:38.440 t O S t O R I E S dot app, 0:46:38.760 --> 0:46:41.120 And if you do anything on Instagram, this is kind 0:46:41.120 --> 0:46:46.040 of your secret new secret weapon. So on Instagram, it's 0:46:46.040 --> 0:46:49.080 always really tricky to share things to the stories because 0:46:49.160 --> 0:46:51.400 you have to go into Instagram. 0:46:50.880 --> 0:46:51.319 To do it. 0:46:51.800 --> 0:46:53.600 Like if you have a picture, you gotta like go 0:46:53.640 --> 0:46:55.759 into Instagram and then do it, and like you know, 0:46:55.840 --> 0:46:58.600 it's just a pain. And if you have video, that's 0:46:58.600 --> 0:47:01.120 even more of a pain because if you have a 0:47:01.200 --> 0:47:04.080 video that's like let's say it's thirty five seconds and 0:47:04.120 --> 0:47:06.600 you only need fifteen seconds. But the way that Instagram 0:47:06.640 --> 0:47:08.960 does it, they split it up. You know, it's like 0:47:09.040 --> 0:47:10.200 fifteen you know, it's. 0:47:10.080 --> 0:47:13.400 Like spin out you're talking about. Yeah, so annoying. 0:47:13.600 --> 0:47:13.799 Yes. 0:47:14.040 --> 0:47:17.240 So this app lets you just share photos and videos 0:47:17.280 --> 0:47:20.200 from any app on your phone. So if you are 0:47:20.280 --> 0:47:23.600 working on a video in some random editing app, you 0:47:23.640 --> 0:47:25.960 can just say share two. It just comes up as 0:47:25.960 --> 0:47:28.560 one of the share options in your share menu, and 0:47:28.760 --> 0:47:31.360 it lets you edit the video so you can like 0:47:31.520 --> 0:47:34.280 check like a pick fifteen seconds and it's a super 0:47:34.280 --> 0:47:38.120 easy slider to do that. You can also affect the 0:47:38.200 --> 0:47:39.759 video so you can change it to like fill the 0:47:39.840 --> 0:47:41.680 whole screen or if you can want it to fit 0:47:41.760 --> 0:47:44.200 the screen, whatever you want. The point is this is 0:47:44.239 --> 0:47:46.800 a feature that should be built into the Instagram app. 0:47:46.840 --> 0:47:48.799 And I imagine that they might even buy this in 0:47:48.840 --> 0:47:50.719 the future so that they can just build this in 0:47:50.800 --> 0:47:52.920 because this should be a feature of the Instagram app. 0:47:53.080 --> 0:47:55.959 It's not. And anyway, it's really cool. 0:47:56.080 --> 0:47:59.400 Two stories dot app t O S t O r 0:47:59.520 --> 0:48:02.440 i ep dot app and it's just a cool, like 0:48:02.480 --> 0:48:04.319 little tool that you have on your iPhone that's like 0:48:04.520 --> 0:48:07.400 very very handy. The other one is called Opener. By 0:48:07.400 --> 0:48:09.400 the way, I use this all the time. It's a 0:48:09.880 --> 0:48:12.279 if you've ever opened like a link in Twitter on 0:48:12.320 --> 0:48:16.080 your iPhone and it like opens in like its own 0:48:16.080 --> 0:48:19.360 little browser, like let's say a YouTube video, it's like YouTube, 0:48:19.480 --> 0:48:21.440 it's not opening in the YouTube app, It's opening like 0:48:21.480 --> 0:48:25.560 in its own little window in Twitter, which is really 0:48:25.560 --> 0:48:26.160 annoying to me. 0:48:27.160 --> 0:48:28.160 So if you use this. 0:48:28.160 --> 0:48:30.760 App called Opener, you just go to your share screen 0:48:30.840 --> 0:48:32.440 and then click Opener and it will say, oh, do 0:48:32.440 --> 0:48:33.799 you want us to open this in YouTube? And you 0:48:33.840 --> 0:48:37.200 go yes, please, thank you so opener. I think it's 0:48:37.280 --> 0:48:41.560 ninety nine cents for that little app. Okay, all right, 0:48:41.600 --> 0:48:43.160 that's gonna bring us to the end of the show. 0:48:43.200 --> 0:48:44.400 Can you believe it? 0:48:45.320 --> 0:48:48.479 I can't every time.
