1
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: Hands on with the new iPhone, thirteen models, iOS, fifteen

2
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: features to try out, Kindle gets a big upgrade, plus

3
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: your tech questions answered.

4
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 2: What's going on?

5
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: I'm Rich Demiro and this is Rich on Tech.

6
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 2: This is the.

7
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: Podcast where I talk about the tech stuff I think

8
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: you should know about. It's also the place where I

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: answer the questions you send me. I'm the tech reporter

10
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles, Hollywood, California.

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, we are literally in the middle of.

12
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: Hollywood, one of the last TV stations sets in Hollywood.

13
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 1: In fact, used to be a couple of them, and

14
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, at least one more, but I don't know. Yeah,

15
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: I guess they were all in the same area. What

16
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: a great start to the show. Anyway, I digress. So

17
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: this is the time of the year when and tech

18
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: companies just roll out more gadgets than any human tech

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: reviewer can handle. I mean, just alone with Apple last

20
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: week we had all kinds of iPhones and iPads and

21
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: this and that, and they're still not done apparently, still

22
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: some things perhaps in the works by the end of

23
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: the year, we don't know. But now next week we

24
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: have Amazon. Even though this week Amazon revealed like three,

25
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: let's see three new gadgets, plus another like an echo

26
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: that has the face of Billie Eilish on it. So

27
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: you've got to be a true fan to get that speaker.

28
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: And then we have the Pixel still coming. We had

29
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: Facebook with new devices. I mean, just so many devices.

30
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: I'm trying to keep up, and I'll talk about some

31
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: of them in this show. But just to kind of

32
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: follow up on last week's show, so I told you

33
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: about the whole is selling my car and getting a

34
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: new one. So I will say that I absolutely love

35
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: the new Tesla. It is far a seeded my expectations

36
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: and it's just such.

37
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: A pleasure to drive.

38
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: It's the first time I think I've ever driven a

39
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: car that I actually really really like, and it's it's

40
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: just really been a nice experience. And I think the

41
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: reason why I like it even more so than just

42
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: the fact that it's a cool, high tech car, is

43
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: because it feels like I'm on the verge of something new,

44
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: Like I remember when I got the first iPhone and

45
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: I just kind of could not get enough of diving

46
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: into the features and seeing what it can do and

47
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: discussing it with people. And by the way, thirteen years later,

48
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: it's still like that. But the Tesla is a whole

49
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: nother beast. I mean, it's like I've been on YouTube

50
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: watching all the videos and just every day I kind

51
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: of find something new that the car can do. And

52
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: also it's given me a new kind of perspective on

53
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: just electric cars and the whole entire ecosystem of cars

54
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: in general.

55
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: And I think that the Tesla is just the beginning.

56
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: We are going to see a lot of disruption coming

57
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: our way, and the Tesla is literally just at the

58
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: forefront of it. And kind of like with phones, I

59
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: mean with iPhone, it spawned an entire new category of

60
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: phone and device, and that's kind of the way I

61
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: see the Tesla. But it's also a challenge for these

62
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: companies to stay ahead, and I think Tesla is pretty

63
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: far ahead with the whole supercharger network and the way

64
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: that they do things and the fact that they built

65
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: a company from the ground up. So anyway, I will

66
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: continue to talk about it on the podcast because it's

67
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: just fascinating to me, the whole idea that I leave

68
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: work every day with a full tank of gas, so

69
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: to say, it's just such a new thing to me,

70
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: and like last weekend we drove around. We didn't use

71
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: a sip of gas because my wife's car, we just

72
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: you shelved it for the weekend because we wanted to

73
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: take mine. By the way, I want to follow up

74
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: on I talked about how I sold my old car

75
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: using Shift dot Com and I will say that it

76
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: all worked out.

77
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 2: It was amazing.

78
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: So I couldn't believe it because Shift was willing to

79
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,839
Speaker 1: pay a little bit more than Carvana, so I went

80
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: with Shift. But the difference is when my friend sold

81
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: his car with Carvana, he had his money by the

82
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: time they left the driveway, and Shift said, well, we

83
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: take your car, we do a final inspection at the headquarters,

84
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: and then you should have your money within a week.

85
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: And I said, I'm like handing over this slip, you know,

86
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: this DMV pink slip. And I just felt worried. But

87
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: I will tell you that I by the time I

88
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: woke up in the morning, well maybe not I wake

89
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: up pretty early, but I would say the next morning,

90
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: after the guy drove my car off, I had an

91
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: email that said, hey, your car passed final inspection. This

92
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: was like eight am, nine am. The next day, your

93
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: car passed final inspection and payment will be sent and

94
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: then I would say either the next day or the

95
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: next day payment was in my account, like cleared my

96
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: bank account. So I was very impressed with Shift. I'll

97
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: put a link in the show notes. I can put

98
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: a referral. I think you get an extra hundred bucks.

99
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm not just saying this because of that, but if

100
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 1: you want, you know, like every little dollar counts, Like

101
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: if you're thinking of selling your car, it's a really

102
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: good time. Like they gave me more for my car

103
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: than I expected, because cars are so hard to come by,

104
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: and I keep, I keep take good care of my stuff.

105
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: So whoever gets my car next will will really get

106
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: a nice deal because they have a car that has

107
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: low mileage and it's.

108
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 2: A nice you know. I mean, I don't think it's

109
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: a nice car, but it's it's a I mean, it's

110
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 2: a nice car.

111
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: It's a car that gets you around, so anyway, I

112
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: can't I very very impressed with the fact that we

113
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: live in a world where you can sell your car.

114
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: Someone will come to your place, pay you more than

115
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: you think, and take it away and your money is

116
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: in there. You don't have to deal with people coming

117
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: to your house for you know, test drives and you know,

118
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: asking questions about it. I mean, these companies are so

119
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: far advanced. They do all the research. I had a

120
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: little fender bender on my car and it was in

121
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: the car fax, no problem. It even said when I

122
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: got my last oil change, I was so impressed with

123
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: the whole thing. So these companies know that's how they

124
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: can value your car so quickly. They're not like a

125
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: regular person that has to like figure this stuff out.

126
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: They have data behind them.

127
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: So let's get to the big story of the week.

128
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: The iPhone thirteen releases this week, and already a bunch

129
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: of reviewers got them early. I got mine probably a

130
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: week after the you know, I always say I'm on

131
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: the B or C team with the reviewers, and so

132
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: I'd say with Apple, probably a solid B. Because the

133
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: A listers got theirs, they must have gotten them the

134
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: day of the event or the day after, because already

135
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 1: the reviews are out less than a week later. I

136
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: get mine, you know, like a week after. So that's fine.

137
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: You know, how do you do a review in the week.

138
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, that's really tough. But here

139
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 2: is the bottom line.

140
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: The early reviews say that the cameras are great on

141
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: the iPhone thirteen. The battery life is great, there's double

142
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: the base storage, which is nice.

143
00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: The front camera no different.

144
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: Refresh rate on the iPhone thirteen is still the same

145
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: sixty hurtz And as I confirm with Apple, the iPhone

146
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: twelve cases do not fit, so there's always a slight

147
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: difference in your case. Even though the phone looks the same,

148
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: there's always a slight difference where your case does not fit.

149
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: Funny how that works.

150
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: So even after you spend another eight hundred dollars, you

151
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: still got a spring for another fifty bucks for a case.

152
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: But I don't buy the expensive cases most of the time.

153
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: Most of the time I'll buy like a thirty. It

154
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: just depends. It depends on if I had a mag

155
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: Safe case. Yes, those are going to be a little

156
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: bit more expensive. But there are some good cases out

157
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: there that are not as expensive. Like I got my

158
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: wife the Smartish case, which is really good and it's

159
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: like thirteen bucks and it's got a great grip on it.

160
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,239
Speaker 1: I like the Spegan cases, it's like a standard case. Okay,

161
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: iPhone thirteen Pro this is the one that I'm most

162
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: interested in because the cameras are much more improved. The

163
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: battery of course is improved as well. It's got that

164
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: high refresh rate for the display, so it's one hundred

165
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: and twenty hurts and it adjusts.

166
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 2: And then the.

167
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: Front camera I still think it's the same, and that

168
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: cinematic mode. This is the big new thing that people

169
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: are talking about now. I have the phones and I've

170
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: been playing with them, and I'll do I'll tell you

171
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: a couple things. Number one, the iPhone thirteen is kind

172
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: of like a standard phone. So to me, if you

173
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: are upgrading from last year, you don't need to go

174
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: with the iPhone thirteen. But if you're upgrading from a

175
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, yeah, you gonna you're gonna love

176
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: the iPhone thirteen. The cameras are gonna be improved, it's

177
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: gonna be better. The battery life is gonna be better

178
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: than last year. Last year, I think, and I mentioned

179
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: this in my review last year, that the battery life

180
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: was just not very good on the iPhone twelve or

181
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 1: twelve pro. And Apple definitely figured that out. They went

182
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: back to the drawing board, they put bigger batteries in,

183
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: They tweaked the software so that it helps, you know,

184
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: keep the battery going longer. And I just know in

185
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: my use of the iPhone twelve Pro that by the

186
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: end of the day, like I'm talking, you know, three

187
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: o'clock whatever, my phone is, actually even halfway through the day,

188
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: my phone's just hurting. And I never noticed that on

189
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: an iPhone before. Like my wife was telling her that

190
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: last night, how annoying that is. And she's like, oh,

191
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: that must be so annoying because she's got the iPhone

192
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: eleven Pro Max and the battery on that thing is

193
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: a champ. Now there's no five G and I think

194
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: that's the main differentiator here.

195
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 2: But hopefully Apple has figured out the battery.

196
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: I've not had the phone, like using it long enough

197
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: in a day to figure out the battery situation, but

198
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: hopefully it's better now. The thing I did test out,

199
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: I took the iPhone thirteen Pro and I took it

200
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: out outside and I compared it against the iPhone twelve

201
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: Pro and then the Samsung S twenty one Ultra. And

202
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: so I will tell you that I thought that the

203
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: I thought that it was just gonna be kind of

204
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: blown away. The which one am I talking about here? Sorry,

205
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: I got off track here. I thought I was gonna

206
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: be blown away by the iPhone thirteen Pro because of

207
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: all this talk about the cameras, and I'll be honest,

208
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: I'm not as blown away as I thought. Now I

209
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 1: need more time with these things, and yes, it'll take

210
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: a while to figure it all out, but I do.

211
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: I will say that I just think like it should

212
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: have been better like it seems. And here's the thing,

213
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm not knocking it. I think that when it comes

214
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: to phones, out of all the phones I test, the

215
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: phone that will give you the most reliable, every day

216
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: great pictures.

217
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 2: Is always the iPhone.

218
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: Samsung has a lot more going on with their camera,

219
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: and yes you can flex it in different ways that

220
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: lets you have more fun with it. But the iPhone

221
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: is just kind of this standard thing that just always works,

222
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: and the apps are optimized for it, so that's always nice.

223
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: But I will tell you, and you can look at

224
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: these results. I have them on the website ktla dot com,

225
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: slash or just go to my website rich on Tech

226
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: dot ta and look for the link that says iPhone

227
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: thirteen Pro photo comparison. And if you look at these pictures,

228
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: you would not sit there and say Oh wow, clear winner.

229
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: I mean, look at.

230
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: All the pictures and they're all nearly identical except for

231
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: the picture I took of the moon, which is really

232
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: where the iPhone are the S twenty one Ultra Excels.

233
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 1: But who's taking pictures of the moon every day? I mean,

234
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: you take one picture of the moon you've got doesn't change.

235
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: So you've got a picture of the moon.

236
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 2: You're good. You don't really need to take more of those.

237
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: So you can see a couple of things you've got

238
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: my hands on with all four of the new devices

239
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: on my Instagram at rich on Tech, I've got pictures

240
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: on the website rich on Tech dot tv for you

241
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: to compare. I will continue to compare these devices and

242
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: kind of form my opinions on them. But the reality is,

243
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: the way I see things is that most people are

244
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: wondering if they need a reason to upgrade, and so

245
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: if you're a camera enthusiast, of course you always want

246
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: the absolute.

247
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 2: Best that's out there.

248
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: Otherwise, I mean, it's one of those things where the

249
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: iterations at this point, unless they're adding a big new feature,

250
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: is just kind of like it's there and it will

251
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: be there when you're ready to upgrade the phone will

252
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: be great, and of course the latest and the latest

253
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 1: phone will always be pretty darn good. So one thing

254
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: I will say is that the camera bumps on the

255
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: new Pro models are significantly bigger than last year's. Apple

256
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: just continues to push the envelope with these camera bumps.

257
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: They're just they get bigger and bigger, and you know,

258
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 1: it's like, I get it because they want to make

259
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: this thing as good as possible, but it's a big bump.

260
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: The other thing is that cinematic mode real quick and

261
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: just I need to test it more, but it's definitely

262
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: not a feature that you would buy a phone for.

263
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: It's cool, it's portrait mode for your video, but it's

264
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: not something that you need to like rush out and

265
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 1: upgrade for. All right, let's get to the first question

266
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 1: of the day. Michael says, Hey, Rich, I have an

267
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: old cell phone, an old Samsung tablet, and two old

268
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: laptop computers. Do you have any suggestions on how to

269
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: dispose of them safely and perhaps be useful to someone

270
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 1: who guts who uses the guts from these items. Please

271
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: let me know when you have a moment. Thanks for

272
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: doing such a great job on Katla I've been watching

273
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: you for years and glad to see that you are

274
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: back in the studio. Thanks again, Michael. All right, Michael,

275
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: A couple of things you can do with this. If

276
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: you just want to get rid of these and recycle them,

277
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: you can take them somewhere like a Staples. And Staples

278
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: has a pretty robust recycling program, and they stopped it

279
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 1: for a while, but they might have started it again.

280
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: They stopped it during COVID, but let me see if

281
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: they started accepting it again. It looks like they have

282
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: started accepting it again, so I would go there and

283
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: it looks yeah, it looks like they're there, So I

284
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: would go there and let me just see one more

285
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: thing real quick.

286
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 2: Oh hold on, Nope. Sorry.

287
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: In an effort to keep our customers and associates safe,

288
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: our tech recycling program has been temporarily spend it. So

289
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 1: I guess they don't want to accept electronics that are

290
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: from people's homes right now. So with that said, I

291
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: would just go to my second choice, which is a

292
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: gizmo go And this is a website that I did

293
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: a story with. They have, you know, proven themselves to

294
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: be pretty worthy of this. They will either give you

295
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: money for these devices. You can type them in the website,

296
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: or you can just send them in and they will

297
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: properly dispose of them. Now you say you have two

298
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: old laptop computers. If you're if you're watching me on KTLA,

299
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: that leads me to believe you're in Los Angeles.

300
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 2: So I would lead you to someone called.

301
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: The Laptop Elf and they will he will will take

302
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: your stuff and basically refactory format it and kind of

303
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: fix it up and then give it to someone in need.

304
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: So that's a cool that's a cool little program. David Lombard.

305
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 2: So he runs something called the Laptop Elf Project. So

306
00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: check that out.

307
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: And I think you bring laptops there, you send the

308
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: other stuff to gizmo Go, and you're good. Now if

309
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: you just want to bring it locally, Best Buy does recycling,

310
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: but again you have to check with these companies to

311
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: see exactly what they'll accept. I was recycling some batteries

312
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: and you know, I thought, I can bring them into

313
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: this store, this battery store, and they said, now we

314
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: don't accept those, so but you can go to the library.

315
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: And I went to the library. They had a little

316
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: drop box outside, dump the batteries in and boom, felt

317
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: a little better about myself because I used to throw

318
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: out batteries all the time until I did a story

319
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: about recycling batteries, and I had no idea that you

320
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: should not throw your double a's and triple as in

321
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: the trash. And so I felt really bad the fact

322
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: that I've been doing that, and I vowed to never

323
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: do it again. And so now I keep a Mason jar,

324
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: and I go through a lot of batteries in this

325
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: house with all the electronics and the kids and all

326
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: that stuff. So when the batteries go dead, you throw

327
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: them in the jar, and then when the jar fills up,

328
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: you put them in a plastic bag, bring them somewhere.

329
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: And as some people pointed out on my Twitter, Rich,

330
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to put the plastic bag.

331
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 2: In the bin, And I said, I didn't.

332
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: I dumped the batteries out of the plastic bag, and

333
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: then I put the plastic bag in another recycling bin.

334
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 2: So yeah, I got you.

335
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: But Michael, that's what I would recommend. I'll put all

336
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: the links in the show notes. Okay, let's talk about

337
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: iOS fifteen. Since you've probably downloaded it and installed it

338
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: on your phone. I'll just talk about some of the

339
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: features that are new that you're aware of so you

340
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: can check them out. The number one biggest feature is

341
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: this thing called Focus Mode, which I think is a

342
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: lot of busy work, but it has the potential to

343
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: be useful, but it seems like a lot. So Focus

344
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: Mode helps you create different profiles for your phone, kind

345
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: of like do not Disturb, but amped to the max.

346
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: So you can now have focus modes for fitness, for reading,

347
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: for wellness, for friends and family, for your weekend, for

348
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: your morning, for your afternoon, for your commute. And it's

349
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: just like the idea is that you would set up

350
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: all these modes and only the apps that you want

351
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: would send you notifications. Only the people that you want

352
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: could call you and text you. But it's a lot

353
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: to set up. In fact, I was worried that when

354
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: I was testing the iPhone thirteen that my phone would

355
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: you know, when I upgrade, sorry, when I upgraded to

356
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: iOS fifteen and I was, you know, going to sleep

357
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: for the first time, I was like, is my phone

358
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: gonna ring this alarm in the morning because I have

359
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: no idea what sort of mode I'm on? Because they

360
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: do not Disturb has been replaced with this focus, and

361
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a it's a whole big thing now,

362
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: and so I'm not convinced that this is what I

363
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: want to do is sit there and set this all up.

364
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 2: But if you want to, you can.

365
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: You go into control, Center, Focus, and then are sorry,

366
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: go into settings and then focus, and then you can

367
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: choose all your different focuses to get started.

368
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 2: Now.

369
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: With FaceTime, they've got spatial audio, so voices sound like

370
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: they're coming from the direction that they're on the screen.

371
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 2: Okay, that's cool, that's small.

372
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: You can also use face Time with friends and family

373
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: who are on Windows devices, like if you're going through

374
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: that much trouble to send them a link from FaceTime.

375
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it'll work in a pinch if you

376
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,479
Speaker 1: don't really want to install a different program. But by

377
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: this point aren't we all on zoom? Like, do you

378
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: really need to use FaceTime with like a friend that's

379
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: not on Android or not on on iPhone? I mean,

380
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: use something like Google Duo. I don't think that the

381
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: FaceTime link. I think that's kind of like a last

382
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: ditch effort if the person is like, I'm not downloading

383
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: anything new on my phone or actually, hold on, let

384
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: me think about this. If your FaceTime, Oh yeah, you

385
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,239
Speaker 1: would be the one that doesn't want to download anything new.

386
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: Your friend that's on Android is using Duo or something else,

387
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: but you're the one that's on iPhone. You're like, I'm

388
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: not I'm not game. I already have FaceTime. What do

389
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: I need another video chat app for? Oh, it'd be

390
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: nice to have one that's crossed platform, like natively. I mean, yes,

391
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 1: you can send a device a link to another device,

392
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: but and it looks fine. I tried it. It's fine,

393
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: it's just not my preferred way of chatting. Uh, let's

394
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: see shared with Oh this is kind of cool. They've

395
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 1: got this little section called shared with You. And so

396
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: now when you you know how people like text you

397
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 1: something like an article and you look at it, but

398
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: you're at work and you kind of forget about it

399
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: until like two weeks later when you go back to

400
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: their text and you're like, oh, totally forgot about that

401
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: article they sent me and I never even commented on it. Well,

402
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: Apple knows that this must happen a lot, and so

403
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: now they have this thing called Shared with You. So

404
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: inside Apple News, Safari Photos, Apple TV podcasts, and Apple Music,

405
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: notice they are all Apple programs. Whenever someone sends you something,

406
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: it will sort of go in this little section, so

407
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: that when you open up Apple News, Oh there's that

408
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: article someone sent me on Apple News.

409
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 2: You open up.

410
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: Safari, Oh there's that link that Jim sent me last

411
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: week that I never opened. Oh there's that photo that

412
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 1: I never commented on. There's that podcast that never listened to, And.

413
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 2: I opened up my podcast.

414
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: I had a podcast from my friend John that he

415
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: sent me like months ago that.

416
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 2: I never listened to.

417
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: And because I just forgot about it, what do you

418
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: How do you bookmark it? I mean, you just forget

419
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,959
Speaker 1: about it as soon as someone texts you. And then

420
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: of course with music, that's pretty handy too. That would

421
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: actually be probably the most useful because people can send

422
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: you songs. But again, if you notice, this is all

423
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,239
Speaker 1: from native apps, so if you're not using all these

424
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: native apps, then it doesn't really help you.

425
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 2: So I still think it's a cool feature though.

426
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: It's nice to have, And definitely all your old links,

427
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: by the way, are indexed and they're now available. So

428
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: if someone sent you something previously, if you go into

429
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: any of these apps, you will see the stuff that

430
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: people sent you previously. Now, the other big new feature

431
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: on iOS fifteen is called live text, and this is

432
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: big and I got a hand it to Apple. They

433
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: did a really really fantastic job of this. So you

434
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: can now aim your camera at something and the text

435
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: will light up and you can highlight it and copy.

436
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 2: And paste and whatever.

437
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: Or you can take a picture and then press this

438
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: little text button in the right hand lower right hand

439
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: corner and it will highlight all the things that you

440
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: can do with this picture, which is copy and paste text.

441
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: You can tap a phone number to call it, you

442
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: can tap a website to go to it. You can

443
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: tap an email address to send an email. And they

444
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: nailed it. They did really really good and so I'm

445
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: very impressed. And Google's had this forever, but I would

446
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: say that Apple, I think, might have done a better

447
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: job at implementing this than Google.

448
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 2: And it's so.

449
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: Funny because Google is so scared to like ever build

450
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 1: anything into like the core functionality of Android because they're

451
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: worried about like anti trust and all this stuff. So

452
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: they always dance around like putting these features in places

453
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: that like make it, you know, a little bit tougher

454
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: for you to find because they want to make sure

455
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: that they're not like pushing their own products. But Apple

456
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: they could care less. They just push all their own stuff.

457
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: So they put this this feature front and center. It's

458
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: right on the native camera and it works phenomenally, and honestly,

459
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: Google should build this right into their native camera. They

460
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: do in certain ways, but you still kind of have

461
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: to press this lens button. And they just finally put

462
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: Google Lens on the search bar on Android phones, which

463
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: took forever too. So hopefully now that Apple has put

464
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,239
Speaker 1: this front and center, they will I'll also put this

465
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: front and center on the Google phones.

466
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 2: Because it is very handy.

467
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: Apple Maps, you know, all the headlines are like Apple

468
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: Maps is now on par with Google Maps. That is

469
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: not true in any way, shape or form. Google Maps

470
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: has information on pretty much the whole world. Apple Maps

471
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: has been upgraded for LA, New York, San Francisco, and London.

472
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 2: So I'm sorry.

473
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: I live in LA, which is great, and the maps

474
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: look amazing here, but you go anywhere outside LA and

475
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 1: they're not.

476
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 2: Going to be as good.

477
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: And honestly, I just I can tell you from personal experience,

478
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: I like the look of Apple Maps better, but the

479
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: raw data that they have is just not there. Google

480
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: has so much data about businesses and up to the

481
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: minute data about everything that Apple just doesn't really compete with.

482
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 2: Now.

483
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: I don't think that that's gonna happen forever, but I

484
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 1: think at this point, Google Maps is still kind of

485
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: like a gold standard when it comes to mapping, and

486
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 1: I really just trust that, and I can't bring myself

487
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: to trust Apple Maps. I just can't because there's just

488
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 1: too many times when I've typed in something and it

489
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: just doesn't figure it out right, and I'm like, all right, sorry,

490
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: going back to Apple, I mean, going back to Google.

491
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: The weather app totally redesigned. It looks pretty cool, and

492
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: now it'll tell you when it's gonna rain or snow.

493
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: It also has new big maps that show you how

494
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: hot or cold it is. The notes app now is

495
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: pretty good. I mean, I would love you, No, I

496
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: would love to use the notes app. I switched back

497
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: to every Note because I just can't get my brain

498
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: around apps that are only on one platform. And Notes

499
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: is really nice, but if I'm using an Android phone,

500
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: I can't access any of my notes, and I just

501
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: don't like that. If I'm on the web somewhere and

502
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: I need to like somehow get a note. I can't

503
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: do that with Notes, and maybe you can. I don't

504
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: think it's an iCloud, but maybe it is. It might be,

505
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: you know what, Notes might be an iCloud. But my

506
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: point is it's one of these things where it's very

507
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: much written for the Mac, it's written for the iPhone,

508
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: it's written for the iPad, which is great if you

509
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: only use Apple stuff, but I like to I'd like

510
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: to try to remain platform agnostic as much as possible

511
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: because that allows me to choose the best product for

512
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: the job and not just something that's convenient.

513
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 2: And Notes is very convenient.

514
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: It's built in and it does a lot of stuff,

515
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: and it's free and it's nice, but I just can't

516
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: bring myself to use it in a big way. The

517
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: thing that they added to Notes is you can now

518
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 1: use hashtags, which is really cool because that helps you

519
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: automatically organize notes. So when you're typing a note in

520
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 1: just type of hashtag, and now you can see that

521
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: hashtag along with other notes that have that hashtag. The

522
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: email I got the most was from a bunch of

523
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: people saying, Rich, what's up with this iCloud. I've been

524
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: Apple sent out an email it said you've been upgraded

525
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: for free to iCloud plus.

526
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.

527
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: It sounds so fancy, but I mean, come on, it's

528
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,479
Speaker 1: like you're already. This is only for paying members of iCloud.

529
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: So if you're paying for iCloud, you now get a

530
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: couple of new features. Which is the most notable to

531
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: me is hide my Email, which it allows you to

532
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: generate disposable email addresses, and that's kind of cool. So

533
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: you can go into your settings iCloud password I think

534
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: it's or I forget it's one of those, and you

535
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: can generate a one time it's not really a one

536
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 1: time use. It's just an email address that stays good

537
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: until you delete it, and then it forwards that whatever

538
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: email comes into that email to your real email. So

539
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: the way that you'd use that is if you sign

540
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: up for you know, like let's say you want to

541
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: buy something on wayfair dot com and you just can't

542
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: stand getting emails from them for the rest of your life.

543
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: You can use one of these private email addresses and

544
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: make your order, do all your stuff, and then once

545
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: your order is gotten to your place safely, you turn

546
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 1: off that email address and you don't really ever have

547
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 1: to hear from Wayfair again, I guess on the side note,

548
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,239
Speaker 1: if you need a quick email address to sign up

549
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: for like a new coupon or a promo code, that

550
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 1: would be an easy way to do it. So if

551
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 1: you need to, you know, get a ten percent off

552
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: or something, and you need a new email address like

553
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: a new sign up, that could be a way to

554
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: do it.

555
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 2: The other thing they do.

556
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: Is private relay, and this is kind of like a VPN,

557
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: but they're not calling it a VPN, so clearly it's

558
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: not a VPN, But the way that Apple describes it,

559
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,479
Speaker 1: it says, when private relay is enabled, your requests are

560
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: sent through two separate secure Internet relays. Your IP address

561
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: is visible to your network provider. So I think that's

562
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,239
Speaker 1: the difference between the VPN, because I don't think it

563
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 1: is immediately and to the first relay, which is operated

564
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: by Apple, which aka they can see your IP address

565
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: as well, but your DNS records are encrypted, so neither

566
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: party can see the address of the website you're trying

567
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: to visit.

568
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 2: Oh okay.

569
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: The second relay, which is operated by a third party

570
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: content provider, generates a temporary IP address decrypts the name

571
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,239
Speaker 1: of the website you requested, and connects you. All this

572
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: is done to maintain high performance browsing and protect your privacy.

573
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like a VPN, but a little

574
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: bit less secure because Apple can theoretically see your IP address,

575
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: and so can your network provider, which you know is fine. Well,

576
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: I guess it depends what you're doing. So if you're

577
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: a real privacy fiend, you won't want to do that,

578
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: But if you're just kind of like casually trying to

579
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: protect your tracks, you know, this will be a nice

580
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:19,719
Speaker 1: thing to enable.

581
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 2: I'll have to check that out.

582
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I need that on my phone,

583
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: but it's kind of I guess it's one more way

584
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,719
Speaker 1: to just kind of keep things private on there, right,

585
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: all right. Next question from Maricarr. Hey, Rich, I hope

586
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 1: this email finds you well. I wanted to ask what

587
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: a good Wi Fi extender would be for me to use.

588
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: I live in a two bedroom apartment. There are literally

589
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 1: dead zones in my dining area and in one of

590
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: the bedrooms. I'd like for my Wi Fi to reach

591
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: throughout my place, but honestly, it's driving me crazy how

592
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: slow it is. In some areas, can you recommend a

593
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: good one. I have Spectrum for my internet service, if

594
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: that makes a difference. Thanks so much, Maricar. Okay, So

595
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 1: I did a story on this. It's a Villo Vlo

596
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: and it is a sixty dollars mesh Wi Fi network, and.

597
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 2: I did the review on this.

598
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: I found it to be great, especially for standard Wi Fi.

599
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: If you need something that's if you told me you

600
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: had like gigabit internet or like a huge house or something,

601
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: I'd probably recommend euro But this is perfect for your

602
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: two bedroom apartment.

603
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 2: And there's three.

604
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: Units that you get for sixty dollars, and what you

605
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: do is you put the first one by your modem,

606
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 1: then you put the other two in the other far

607
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: reaches of your house and this will create a mesh network.

608
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: So these things all communicate with each other to blanket

609
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: your house in a nice network of Wi Fi that

610
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: works the same.

611
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 2: Pretty much everywhere.

612
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: And the reviews I got on this are pretty good,

613
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: like the people that like I test this stuff, but

614
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: I'm just one person, and so when people get this

615
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: in their houses and they write me emails, so far,

616
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,479
Speaker 1: I think with the ex option of one person, everyone

617
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: said they really like how this works.

618
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 2: So for sixty.

619
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: Dollars, you can't really go wrong because that is a

620
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: pretty good price on a better Wi Fi for your

621
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: whole house. So that's what I recommend. Check it out

622
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: and once you get it installed, let me know what you.

623
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:15,959
Speaker 2: Think of it.

624
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: New kindles are out first time since twenty eighteen. These

625
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: kindles got a big new update, the Kindle paper White.

626
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: I'll just go over this quickly what the new features are,

627
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: because in fact, my wife scratched the heck out of

628
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: the screen on her Kindle, so I've got to get

629
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: her a new one. And it's funny because I have

630
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: a case for my Kindle, which I get it. It

631
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: makes it heavier and not as nice. But I've had

632
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: this case on it since I've got it, and it's

633
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: kept this thing pristine. I mean, it's my Kindle is perfect,

634
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: and it's like a couple of years old, and it's like,

635
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: I want an excuse to buy a new one, but

636
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: I don't need it. But my wife she scratched hers,

637
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: and I said, I told you to get the case,

638
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: and she didn't want it because she said I don't

639
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: need it. I don't bring my kindle anywhere it's fine.

640
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 2: Well, sure enough, a huge scratch across the screen. So

641
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 2: get a case.

642
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: The one I bought is really inexpensive. It was like

643
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: had like eleven thousand reviews or something, and it was

644
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: super cheap. It was like ten bucks. It's not the

645
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: Amazon official but it was like ten bucks in.

646
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 2: It really did a great job.

647
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: And of course I know I'm gonna get a million

648
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: emails from people saying, rich, which kindle case did you get?

649
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 2: So I will go ahead.

650
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: And look inside my Kindle order and see what the

651
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,959
Speaker 1: name of this case is if I can find it.

652
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna have to go. I'm gonna have to

653
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 2: go way back.

654
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: Moco case fits Kindle paper white, eleven dollars and ninety

655
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: nine cents, so perfect, perfect, perfect, Get it and protect

656
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: your kindle. But anyway, let me go over the new

657
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: Kindle features. Okay, so the number one new feature is

658
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: that these Kindles have USB C on them, which is

659
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: long time coming. Everyone else in the world has switched

660
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: to USBC, except the Kindles were still shipping with micro USB.

661
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: And that's fine because the Kindle battery lasts so long

662
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: you don't really need to charge it very often. But

663
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: for me, that is pretty much the last thing that

664
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: I have that uses micro USB, so I when I

665
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: finally get a new Kindle, we'll retire that and go

666
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: to USBC. And the other flip side is that I

667
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: would always charge my Kindle before I went out of

668
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: trip or vacation. And yes, the battery lasts so long,

669
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: I didn't really have to worry about it much, but

670
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: I didn't want to bring an extra cable. So you know,

671
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: now that I can have USBC, I don't really have

672
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: to worry about making sure that it's super charged up

673
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: right before I go on a trip. So the Kindle

674
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: Paper White is going to have twenty percent faster page turns,

675
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: up to ten weeks of battery life up from six weeks.

676
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: It's waterproof, It has everything you need for one hundred

677
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: and forty dollars. And my warning to you is don't

678
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: pay full price. These things go on sale all the time,

679
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: so set a price drop alert on Honey or Camel

680
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: Camel Camel, and buy it when this thing goes on

681
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: sale sometime over the holidays. They always go on sale.

682
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: Next up, if you want to step up, is the

683
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: Kindle Paper White Signature Edition, and this has the they

684
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: both have the front light, but this one has the sensor,

685
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: and so the front light adjusts automatically and it will

686
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: adjust depending on how dark or light the room you're

687
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: in is. And then it also has wireless charging, which

688
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: I guess that's cool. I don't really see that as

689
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: a big feature on the Kindle because you're not the

690
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: battery lasts so long. Like wireless charging is good when

691
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: you're trying to keep your phone charged all day, but

692
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: for a Kindle, I don't really see the point of that.

693
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 2: And then you get more storage thirty two gigs.

694
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: But again, who has more than one book on their

695
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: kindle at any given time? Do you really need to

696
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: store more than one.

697
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 2: Book on there?

698
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: I don't think so, So that's one ninety So really

699
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: the only thing you need there is the auto adjusting

700
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,479
Speaker 1: front light sensor, which quite honestly, my Kindle has that,

701
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: and I still adjust the light manually because I find

702
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: that the censor is not all that great. The other

703
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: thing they came out with is the Kindle Paper White Kids.

704
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: This is the first ever waterproof kindle for kids, no distractions,

705
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: not like an iPad where it's got games and all

706
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: these other things.

707
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 2: I want to buy all the time.

708
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: It includes a one year subscription to Amazon Kids Plus,

709
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: which has thousands of books.

710
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 2: Personally, I don't know.

711
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: I mean, some of those books are probably good, some

712
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: of them probably are not very good. And then this

713
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: is one hundred and sixty dollars, which sounds expensive for

714
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: a kid's kindle. But again, find these things on sale.

715
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: That's my advice. With the kindles, they go on sale

716
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: late October. By the way, you can pre order them now.

717
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: They'll be available before the holidays.

718
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 2: Next question from Lisa hey Rich.

719
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: You did a segment a few months ago about being

720
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: able to download unlimited amounts of digital photos for ten

721
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: dollars a year. Can you send me that information if

722
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: it's still available. Sure, the website is called I drive.

723
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: Now it's not downloading. I mean, I guess you could download,

724
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: but it's really about uploading the unlimited photos.

725
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 2: So.

726
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: I drive is a company based here in the Los

727
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: Angeles area, and they're known for their backups for like

728
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: enterprise computers and also desktop computers. But they saw a

729
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: need to do something when Google raised all their prices

730
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: to introduce full resolution backup that's unlimited for ten dollars

731
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: a year, and I got to say, I'm impressed it

732
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: looks the app is very simple, but it does exactly

733
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: what you need. So if you download this app to

734
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: your iPhone or your Android, it will take in all

735
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,800
Speaker 1: the pictures on your phone, upload them to the cloud

736
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,439
Speaker 1: in full resolution and videos by the way, And it's

737
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: ten dollars a year. And when you get a new phone,

738
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: the other little party trick it has built in is

739
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: that it can download all those photos to your camera

740
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: role on your new phone. Now, I don't know why

741
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: you'd want to do that necessarily unless you like all

742
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,959
Speaker 1: your pictures on your physical device, but I mean maybe

743
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 1: you do. I don't know, but I think that them

744
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: being in the cloud is a better place for them.

745
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,479
Speaker 1: But this is a great thing. It's ten dollars a year.

746
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: I recommend it, and I of course, because you know,

747
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: no matter what, if you have your photos somewhere, I

748
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: recommend a second place where you have them. And I'll

749
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,439
Speaker 1: be quite a honest with you, I don't right now

750
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: I need to get this set up because I've got

751
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: my photos in one place, Google Photos, and I'm really

752
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: really concerned about that because I have some old backups here,

753
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,959
Speaker 1: but I don't have a current backup that's like every day,

754
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: and I need to do that very soon. I need

755
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: to set that up, so don't be like me get

756
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: your photos in two different places. I just happen to

757
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: have a large, large, large amount of photos. So my

758
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: solution just takes a little bit longer because it's kind

759
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: of expensive and I just don't feel like spending the

760
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: money to.

761
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 2: Set it up.

762
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: But I don't want to lose my picture, So you

763
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: know what, I need to set that up very soon.

764
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 2: So that's what it's called.

765
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: I drive Photos and I will put the link, of

766
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: course in the show notes. Facebook this week came out

767
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: with two new devices. They're portal devices. So if you

768
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: remember last week or the week before, Facebook came out

769
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: with sunglasses, now they've got two new.

770
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 2: Video chat devices. These are called portals. Now.

771
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 1: I was there for the launch of the first generation

772
00:35:55,880 --> 00:36:01,720
Speaker 1: of devices, and honestly, the reception was chilli at best.

773
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I've never seen the media knock down a company,

774
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: and Facebook cannot catch a break at this point. The

775
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: company has I don't know what they're gonna do to

776
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: get on the positive side of things with people, but

777
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: it's interesting because people I look at face, I look

778
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: at people's phones all the time when I'm out and about.

779
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: People are on Facebook all the time. People are on

780
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 1: Instagram all the time. Instagram's owned by Facebook. But yet

781
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,720
Speaker 1: somehow people always say, like I see in the media

782
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: how much people hate Facebook. So do you hate it

783
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: or do you like it? Because a lot of people

784
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 1: are using it. This platform has two point seven billion

785
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: people on it. I think it's amazing because it connects

786
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: people and it allows you to do things like I

787
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: personally have a Facebook page that has a lot of

788
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: followers on it, and I love the fact that I

789
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: can reach people around the world because of this free product,

790
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 1: and it's amazing. I've had videos go viral on there

791
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: that do so many views, it's like mind boggling.

792
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 2: It is. It is a huge platform.

793
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: And if you're discounting it and saying that they're you know, oh,

794
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,240
Speaker 1: they're just in it for your you know, data, and they're.

795
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 2: In it, yes they are.

796
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: But at the same time, they do provide a service

797
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: to people, and that is connecting people and now keeping

798
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: people informed is a little bit different. Yes, people get

799
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff from Facebook, but it's not always

800
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: the best stuff, and that's a problem. Yes, and I

801
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: but I But at the same time, the fact that

802
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: I can disseminate a story on Facebook just as well

803
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: as anyone else in the world is pretty cool. It's

804
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: just I don't know what the solution is to the

805
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:41,399
Speaker 1: fact that people get their news nowadays from Facebook, Instagram

806
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: and TikTok I mean, no joke people and YouTube, and

807
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,280
Speaker 1: the problem is there's just no editor. I'm nothing against

808
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: all this information out there, it's amazing, but when you

809
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: get your information from a company like the company I

810
00:37:56,239 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: work for, like KTLA, we have systems, we have processes

811
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,919
Speaker 1: for getting information on TV and writing information on the web,

812
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: and what we're allowed to do and what we're not

813
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: allowed to do, and what we are comfortable with doing.

814
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: But if you're just some random Joe Schmoe on Instagram,

815
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: TikTok or Facebook or Twitter, you can do whatever you want.

816
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 1: You can say the sky is green and that's because

817
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: there are you know, particles that the government sprays into

818
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: the sky every day to make it blue, but it's

819
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 1: actually green. I mean, you can say that it's free

820
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: speech whatever. Well free speech doesn't really apply to social media,

821
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 1: but you know what I mean, My point is it's

822
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: not fact checked necessarily, and these social media networks are

823
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: trying to do that, but it is an uphill battle.

824
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: It's the stuff that I hear people say to me

825
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: that is so un grounded or grounded in nothing is

826
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: just wild. I mean, look at the Apple rumors alone

827
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: that we see that are published on big blogs and

828
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: this and that, and half of them turn out to

829
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: not be true. So I used to never cover Apple

830
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: rumors for a long time, in fact, probably the first

831
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 1: like eight years of my job at KTLA, because I

832
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: was like, this is a rumor. I don't cover rumors.

833
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: I am a journalist that covers actual stories. And the

834
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: problem became so many people are interested in the rumors

835
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 1: and it's being reported everywhere. You look like you don't

836
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: know what you're talking about because you're not talking about

837
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 1: the rumors. And so I'm very clear when I talk

838
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: about the fact that these are rumors or analysts, you know,

839
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: analyst predictions or whatever.

840
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 2: I mean, that's really what the rumors are.

841
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: Now they're analysts and analyst says Okay, portal Go, Let's

842
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: talk about these two new devices from Facebook. So portal

843
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: Go is a ten inch screen, it's portable. So this

844
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,439
Speaker 1: means that this little device can be taken from room

845
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: to room, so when it's not being used, it sits

846
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: on a wireless charger or some sort of charger. Maybe

847
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: it's a contact charger. I'm not really sure. I haven't

848
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: seen this in person yet, but you take it from

849
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: room to room. So if your kids want a video

850
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,359
Speaker 1: chat with Grandma in their bedroom, read them a book

851
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: at night, whatever you can. It's got a twelve megapixel

852
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: smart camera which has an ultra wide field of view,

853
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: which means it follows you around the room. Like so

854
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: you got that video that kind of like moves around,

855
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: it zooms into like where the person is on the screen.

856
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: And this is a cool little touch. This doubles as

857
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: a portable speaker. So pretty smart because it is wireless

858
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,720
Speaker 1: and you can take it anywhere. That is a nice

859
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,919
Speaker 1: I think that's a brilliant side use of this thing.

860
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: This is one hundred and ninety nine dollars and available soon.

861
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 2: The Portal Plus.

862
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 1: Is a fourteen inch screen and it's stationary, but the

863
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,320
Speaker 1: screen does tilt up and down, and that's three hundred

864
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 1: and fifty dollars.

865
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 2: This is really for the This is like Portal Go.

866
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: I think would be for most people. This is kind

867
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 1: of like high end. Three fifty is a lot, and

868
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: this can let you zoom with twenty five people at

869
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: once on the screen. And so this is for someone

870
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: who might want to keep this on their desk. Maybe

871
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: we're talking like a work at home situation. You want

872
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 1: they use it for zoom. It's a little bit I

873
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: hope it's a little bit higher powered than the portal Go.

874
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: When I played with the devices when they first launched,

875
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: I think this was pre pandemic. Oh my gosh, was

876
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: it really that long ago. They were not well received,

877
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: and honestly, when I played with them, they seem to

878
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,720
Speaker 1: be a little bit underpowered. And I feel like that's

879
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: kind of a theme I've seen with all of these

880
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 1: like little devices that you put around your house, like

881
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: the smart screens. They all seem to be just have

882
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: a little bit less horsepower than you'd like. And I

883
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 1: think they do that because they're using cheap chips inside,

884
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: because they're mass producing these things. But and we're also

885
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: spoiled from our iPhones and androids that are so fast

886
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: and snappy these days that these screens don't look like

887
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 1: they're as fast.

888
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:46,760
Speaker 2: But those are the portal devices.

889
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: I think they're really cool because everyone has a Facebook account,

890
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: it's easy to get someone on board. But honestly, I

891
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: don't think they've sold as well as Facebook wants. But

892
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: they're going to continue to make them because I do

893
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: think it's a bedrock of what they do do. They

894
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: want to have this thing in the house, easy to chat,

895
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 1: easy to connect, show your pictures, it can show your status, updates, whatever,

896
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: and I think that it's a cool product. I just

897
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: think it's the problem of getting over that whole we

898
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: don't trust Facebook kind of thing with these subject line

899
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: is printers high rich. I moved across country and the

900
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: printer I've had for years didn't quite make it.

901
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 2: Lol.

902
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 1: My HP eighty six twenty has worked great over the years,

903
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: but for some reason only prints some items. A friend

904
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 1: said it might be a quote unquote chrome issue. I

905
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: tried to update it, but my computer won't even recognize it.

906
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: Needless to say, I need a new printer now on

907
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,439
Speaker 1: the East Coast. Not knowing anyone, you're the only one

908
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: I can think of that might be able to help.

909
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: Do you have any suggestions for a good all in one?

910
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:49,800
Speaker 1: Thanks for the time, Sincerely, Jamie Jamie, your question couldn't

911
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 1: have come at a better time. I just purchased a

912
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: new printer, and I got mine at Costco, and it's

913
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 1: a highlight rated printer, and it might be overkill for

914
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: what you need. But I got the HP. It's hold on,

915
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:09,919
Speaker 1: I got to look up what I got here because

916
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 1: I have it written down.

917
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 2: Let's see here, printers, Let's see. Okay, where is it?

918
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 2: Well I thought I had it. There we go.

919
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 1: Okay, so I got the HP nine zero one eight.

920
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 1: Now this might be a little overkill. It's only like

921
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: two hundred bucks at Costco, and so a couple things here.

922
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 1: Number one, you kind of have to decide do you

923
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 1: want to go. There's a couple of major manufacturers. Well,

924
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: there's a couple types of printers. Do you want to

925
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: go with a laser jet or do you want to

926
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: go with a ink jet? Now I had laser jet

927
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: for many years. I had a brother printer that lasted me.

928
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 1: I think it was twelve years and.

929
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 2: All right, wait when did I get it twenty thirteen?

930
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: Anyway, I got a long time ago, and it was

931
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: great and it's it's lasted me forever. But the kids

932
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 1: really wanted a color printer so they can print all

933
00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 1: they want. And so I was like, all right, fine,

934
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:04,399
Speaker 1: color laser is cool, but I figured the ink jet

935
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: was better because.

936
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 2: I wanted to print pictures at home.

937
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: So with that in mind, you really have a choice

938
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: of like you have Canon, you have HP, and you

939
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 1: have epsin. Canon I haven't really heard much from lately,

940
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 1: so really it comes down to Epsen and HP for me.

941
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: HP to me is synonymous with really expensive printer cartridges,

942
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: but they've been around forever and they kind of know

943
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: what they're doing, whereas epsin is really pushing this whole

944
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:32,760
Speaker 1: freefillable ink well kind of concept where you just squeeze

945
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: new ink into the well. And I like that because

946
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:39,399
Speaker 1: it appeals to my frugal side and I like when

947
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,240
Speaker 1: companies are kind of like in the number two position

948
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 1: where they, you know, will do things a little bit

949
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: different to try to make it better. But at the

950
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:46,919
Speaker 1: end of the day, I did go with HP because

951
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: I just figured, you know, HP has been around forever

952
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: and this was highly rated and let me do it.

953
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: So that's what I got, and I think that you

954
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: can look for one along that line. I got the

955
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: kind of the Pro series, but maybe you don't need

956
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: the pro depends what you're doing with this thing.

957
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 2: But I would go to Costco if you can.

958
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: I know you're on the East Coast at Costco. What

959
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 1: I love about them, and I talk about them on

960
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,359
Speaker 1: the show a lot, is that when it comes to electronics,

961
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 1: they don't have a huge selection, but the selection they

962
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: do have is really good, and so whatever you get

963
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:19,879
Speaker 1: there is going to be a little bit better than

964
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 1: say another place, now best Buy. You'll notice this is

965
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 1: what I don't want you to do. Don't just find

966
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: the cheapest printer that's on sale for sixty sixty seven

967
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: ninety dollars at best Buy on an end cap, because

968
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,240
Speaker 1: what happens there is that you're going to get subpar

969
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: quality and you're going to be using the ink on

970
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 1: that that's a razor blade, you know what I mean.

971
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 1: Or that's a razor handle, and the blades are where

972
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 1: they make a lot of the money. Now on my printer,

973
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: same thing, but it is a very nice printer and

974
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: it has a lot of great features and it's high end.

975
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 1: So these cheap O printers, they're cutting corners somewhere, and

976
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: that's probably in the quality of the print or the

977
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 1: cartridges that are going to be a little bit more

978
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,359
Speaker 1: expensive whatever, So I would be just don't get that one.

979
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: The other thing that I did, which I this is

980
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: news to me, But HP has this subscription service called

981
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 1: like HP Instant Inc. I think it's called HP Instant Inc.

982
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 1: And it's so wild because it's basically a subscription. So

983
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,879
Speaker 1: my my printer, I'm getting this free for six months,

984
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: by the way, and again I'll put a referral link

985
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 1: if you want to try it with your printer. But

986
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:32,320
Speaker 1: in the show notes, but it's I am. My printer

987
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: is not my own. It's connected to the internet. And

988
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,359
Speaker 1: once you sign up for this program, you pay a

989
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 1: monthly fee, and for that monthly fee, you get to

990
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: print a certain amount of pages. They don't care how

991
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 1: much ink it takes, so for instance, you can pay

992
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: I think on mine, I'm doing five dollars a month

993
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,359
Speaker 1: for one hundred pages, and so I can print one

994
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 1: hundred pages of pictures. I can print one hundred pages

995
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: of whatever I want as long as I'm you know,

996
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: paying that five dollars a month. Now, they send you

997
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: unlimited ink to do that, so they don't go buy

998
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 1: the ink cartridge price. You're just they just send you

999
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 1: a bunch of ink and you pop it in your machine,

1000
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 1: and your machine talks back to the internet and reports

1001
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: every time you print a page. So as of right now,

1002
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 1: I can tell you how many pages I have printed

1003
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 1: on my printer and if I'm getting up against my limit,

1004
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 1: and so I don't know if.

1005
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 2: This is going to last. I don't know if I'm

1006
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 2: gonna do this forever. But I don't know. I'm trying

1007
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 2: to figure out if it's cheaper.

1008
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: It seems like it might be cheaper than you know,

1009
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 1: buying ink all the time. So it says you're saving

1010
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 1: up to fifty percent on ink and toner, and you

1011
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: can also print from anywhere, which is kind of cool.

1012
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 2: And I've printed thirty nine pages this month.

1013
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 1: So it's just such a weird kind of it's such

1014
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 1: a weird system, Like it's I'm kind of like, I

1015
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: feel like I work in an office where someone else,

1016
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,879
Speaker 1: like a third party's like managing my printer, even though

1017
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:55,880
Speaker 1: I purchase this printer.

1018
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 2: But I hope I answered your question.

1019
00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:59,879
Speaker 1: I've got thirty six out of one hundred pages this month,

1020
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 1: and oh yeah, four ninety nine, So four ninety nine

1021
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:05,399
Speaker 1: for one hundred pages a month. So if the kids

1022
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: end up printing more than that, Now, to me, that's

1023
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: sixty dollars a year. Five times twelve is sixty. That

1024
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: sounds like it's the price of an inkjet cartridge. And

1025
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: I don't know how much inkjet cartridge cartridges are.

1026
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 2: For my computer. It might be more, might be less.

1027
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: But I think that this is a cool little a

1028
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 1: cool little system to go with. All right, let's see,

1029
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: let's go to the next question or not that we're

1030
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: going to next story here. Wisecam has come out with

1031
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,479
Speaker 1: a new version, the wise Campan two.

1032
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 2: This is the wisecam I did.

1033
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 1: A story on many many years ago before this company

1034
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:40,320
Speaker 1: was a big thing and people could not believe that

1035
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: you can get a camera for twenty bucks. Then they

1036
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,760
Speaker 1: came out with some other products. I think the Wisecampan

1037
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: was their second product, and this was a little bit

1038
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 1: more expensive, but it was a camera that would move

1039
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 1: like on its base. It would you know, move left, right, up, down, whatever.

1040
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 1: So now they have a new version of that and

1041
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,399
Speaker 1: this I'll tell you about the feature. So number one,

1042
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 1: you could see the whole room in three seconds. It's

1043
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 1: got a three hundred and sixty degree horizontal coverage and

1044
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 1: ninety three degrees vertical coverage, so it goes up, down, left, right,

1045
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 1: you can just kind of pan see everything. There's this

1046
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 1: pan scan mode which patrols your room, so you can

1047
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 1: set up to four custom waypoints and kind of like

1048
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 1: those security cameras of the mall that just rotate left, right, up, down,

1049
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:22,879
Speaker 1: you can have that in your house.

1050
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 2: So this thing just does that by itself.

1051
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: Color night vision, so they use this starlight sensor which

1052
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 1: illuminates details in full color even in the dark. So

1053
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,800
Speaker 1: you know, most cameras at night are black and white,

1054
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,359
Speaker 1: but this one you can see things in color. Those

1055
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: infrared lights are not visible to the naked eye.

1056
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 2: So I know my kids when.

1057
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: They were little with a little camera in their room,

1058
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 1: the kids cam, they were like, Dad, I don't like

1059
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 1: those little lights on the thing.

1060
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 2: And I'd be like, oh, they're okay, don't worry about it.

1061
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: But really I'm like, oh my god, that's like the

1062
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 1: scariest thing I've ever seen for a little tiny kid.

1063
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 1: But somehow my kids made it through. And Wi Pan

1064
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: V two does not have those lights on them, so

1065
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 1: it's invisible or I guess the infrared lights are not

1066
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:08,720
Speaker 1: visible to the naked eye for night vision motion tracking.

1067
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:13,439
Speaker 1: It'll track things so if something's detected, it will pan

1068
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: across as a as an object moves across, So if

1069
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: you have like bigfoot spoted in your yard, it will

1070
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 1: follow it until it goes out of the frame. And

1071
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: then two way audio and a little siren so you

1072
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: can chat two way audio. If you've got like a

1073
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,319
Speaker 1: pet at home you want to chat with, you can

1074
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 1: talk two ways with them and hear them bark back.

1075
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:34,759
Speaker 1: And then there's also a siren button and they call

1076
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 1: it a mini siren. So clearly it's not gonna be

1077
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: that loud, but at least it's I haven't tested this,

1078
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 1: but at least it's going to be loud enough where

1079
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 1: you have a nice little siren if you need to

1080
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 1: ring the alarm.

1081
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:45,240
Speaker 2: As we say, this.

1082
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,919
Speaker 1: Camera is forty dollars plus shipping, so it'll be available soon.

1083
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: But wise cam Pan V two. I love why stuff.

1084
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: They do a really nice job.

1085
00:50:55,640 --> 00:51:01,359
Speaker 2: I gotta say, Okay, Earl Gee, good day, Hello Rich.

1086
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:03,360
Speaker 2: I hope you're doing well. I'm Earl Gee.

1087
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 1: I hope I'm saying that right From Philippines. I work

1088
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,839
Speaker 1: on the I Store Service center. I Store is an

1089
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:12,240
Speaker 1: authorized service provider of Apple. I always watch your videos

1090
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: because I've learned a lot of things for additional learning.

1091
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 1: Thanks Earl. Gee ah, well, thank you.

1092
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 2: It's funny.

1093
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 1: I do have a lot of followers in various countries

1094
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,240
Speaker 1: because some of the videos I've done have gone viral,

1095
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:26,919
Speaker 1: and you know, people, I mean, if someone is good,

1096
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 1: like you care if they live in the US or

1097
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: you know, wherever they live. I follow some you know,

1098
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 1: YouTube ers are in different countries, and so I love

1099
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 1: the fact that people watch in different countries. That's pretty cool.

1100
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 1: So thank you for watching, and I'm glad you like

1101
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,840
Speaker 1: the videos. I always I always keep if you notice,

1102
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 1: with my videos, I always keep in mind that not

1103
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 1: everyone watching is in Los Angeles. I mean, even though

1104
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:52,800
Speaker 1: I'm based in Los Angeles. You know, with the web,

1105
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 1: things are everywhere and not just in the US. It's

1106
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: like international, and so I try to keep that in mind,

1107
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 1: and it doesn't always work, but I try to do that.

1108
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: Speaking of a US centric story, starting November first T

1109
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:09,799
Speaker 1: Mobile will now have in store device repairs at five

1110
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 1: hundred stores across the country. This is the first time

1111
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:16,240
Speaker 1: they've done this and service locations are coming to nearly

1112
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 1: every major city across the country, so chances are this

1113
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 1: will be coming to you starting November first. Customers with

1114
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 1: Protection three sixty can find the authorized location use the

1115
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: online appointment tool to make a same.

1116
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 2: Day repair schedule.

1117
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: It's the repairs are coming from Assurant, which I'm assuming

1118
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:38,879
Speaker 1: is the backers of this insurance. And honestly, I don't

1119
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: really typically recommend getting the protection plans on gadgets, but

1120
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: you know, if you can get them repaired in store

1121
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 1: at T Mobile and you're with T Mobile, that's a

1122
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: pretty good deal because nobody wants to be without their phone.

1123
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 2: And I did the math.

1124
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 1: This is about seven dollars a month, which is pretty

1125
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: inexpensive when you think about it. I mean, you buy,

1126
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,280
Speaker 1: like I bought a Starbucks yesterday, it was five dollars.

1127
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:04,319
Speaker 1: So clearly I can afford the seven dollars a month

1128
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: for this protection. And the fact that they will now

1129
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:09,760
Speaker 1: repair these things in store, I think is really cool.

1130
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 2: You also get up.

1131
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 1: To five claims per year, so that's good, So you

1132
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 1: can for that seven dollars a month. Now, I don't

1133
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 1: know what it depends on. You know, the seven dollars.

1134
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what that How if there's like a

1135
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 1: deductible if you have to pay stuff, you know, every

1136
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 1: time you break something, but says you get accidental damage,

1137
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 1: loss and theft coverage, including next business day replacements.

1138
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 2: So that's cool.

1139
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 1: You get Apple Care for eligible Apple devices, You get

1140
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: unlimited screen protector replacements and they will put it on

1141
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 1: for you. They get hardware service coverage like a mechanical

1142
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 1: breakdown included jump upgrades, which lets you get the atest,

1143
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 1: the latest and greatest device sooner tech support, and you

1144
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 1: can add the protection three sixty when you buy a

1145
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:57,319
Speaker 1: new device, you complete a repair lease or finance up

1146
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:58,320
Speaker 1: to thirty days later.

1147
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 2: So I think this is cool.

1148
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 1: I'm glad they're doing this because a lot of times,

1149
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 1: you know, authorized service centers are kind of limited to

1150
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: either an individual shop or you break eye fixed. But

1151
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,360
Speaker 1: this is just one more way of getting your device fixed.

1152
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 1: And the fact that you know people will probably roll

1153
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:18,359
Speaker 1: this protection three sixty. It's on their monthly bill, so

1154
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:20,760
Speaker 1: it's just simpler that it's like one one stop shop

1155
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:24,880
Speaker 1: for everything and you get your phone fixed. And I

1156
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:27,800
Speaker 1: really like that, so good good job TEA Mobile, Like

1157
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:29,319
Speaker 1: I hope. I don't know if all the carriers are

1158
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 1: doing that. June, why or June says, hey, Rich, my

1159
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:35,439
Speaker 1: wife bought a Tesla Model.

1160
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 2: Oh, my wife.

1161
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,800
Speaker 1: Bought a Tesla Model three Standard range plus. We're currently

1162
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 1: looking for car insurance. Maybe you have a recommendation for us.

1163
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:44,320
Speaker 1: We don't drive that much since we are currently teleworking.

1164
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:48,839
Speaker 1: Thank you have a great day, best June. Jun Well, June,

1165
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 1: I would check out metro mile and this is the

1166
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 1: company that does insurance by the mile, and so you

1167
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:58,400
Speaker 1: put like you used to be, you put this little

1168
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 1: like thing in your car, but maybe they do it

1169
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 1: with your cell phone now. I don't know how it

1170
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:05,240
Speaker 1: works at this point, but I was an early tester

1171
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 1: of this, and it was like they sent me this

1172
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 1: little gadget that you would plug into your like I

1173
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:11,839
Speaker 1: don't know.

1174
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:14,840
Speaker 2: I think it was called like an ODB.

1175
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 1: Port or something like that. I can't remember what it's called,

1176
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 1: but it's a port on your car that you know

1177
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:24,600
Speaker 1: has all the let me see car port ob ob

1178
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 1: D Okay, maybe it's ob D yeah, ob D. And

1179
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 1: so you put this little thing in this let me see?

1180
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:34,360
Speaker 1: Is that really what it's called. I think that's what

1181
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 1: it's called.

1182
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.

1183
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: Anyway you put it, you put this little thing in there,

1184
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 1: but I don't think that Tesla has that. But I

1185
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 1: know metro mile works with Tesla, but I would look

1186
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 1: at that. And so it says you pay twenty nine

1187
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:51,800
Speaker 1: dollars monthly rate. Oh, we base your rates on age,

1188
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,799
Speaker 1: credit score, and zip code and then we consider real

1189
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,479
Speaker 1: time data like the miles you drive. So you pay

1190
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 1: like a certain monthly rate and then you pay per

1191
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 1: the mile. I mean, it's really pretty straightforward. And those

1192
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:07,319
Speaker 1: prices I think depend on you know, what you're like,

1193
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 1: I said, your credit rate and all that stuff. But anyway,

1194
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: I would look at Metrobile. The other thing I like

1195
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 1: is called gabby Gabi dot com. You can compare insurance

1196
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 1: from various places and as you found out, as I

1197
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 1: found out, ensuring a Tesla three is quite expensive because

1198
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 1: they're safe, but the repairs are expensive because you have

1199
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:28,759
Speaker 1: to have Tesla do it, and a lot of the

1200
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:33,320
Speaker 1: repairs are very technical because of all of the gadgets involved.

1201
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 1: All right, one more question from Mark. Hey, Rich, I

1202
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 1: love following you for all your updates and tips. Do

1203
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:41,400
Speaker 1: you know is there a way to clean out duplicate

1204
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:44,760
Speaker 1: photos on my main album Thank You sent for my iPhone. Yes,

1205
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 1: I've gotten this question a lot because so many people

1206
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 1: are upgrading to iPhones. But I like the app called

1207
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:54,919
Speaker 1: Gemini Photos. G E M I NI Gemini Photos, and

1208
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:57,400
Speaker 1: it's I don't know how much does it cost.

1209
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 2: It's a one time fee, I believe in app purchases.

1210
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 2: It's probably not.

1211
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:06,960
Speaker 1: It probably changed it because everything is now a subscription. Yeah,

1212
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:10,280
Speaker 1: monthly okay, one time purchase is thirty five dollars annual

1213
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 1: twenty monthly five so it removes similar pictures.

1214
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 2: But I would just be.

1215
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 1: Very careful anytime that you are deleting pictures off your phone,

1216
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 1: just be very careful because I don't want you to

1217
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 1: delete anything that might not be a duplicate or it's

1218
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:25,439
Speaker 1: something that you can't get back. So when you're doing

1219
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:28,600
Speaker 1: something like a batch delete, just be very very careful.

1220
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 1: Make sure you have a backup there. Oh wow, look

1221
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 1: at that. That sound means it is the end of

1222
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 1: the show. Thanks so much for listening. That's going to

Speaker 1: it this week, but they didn't leave.

1233
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:08,240
