1
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: Why next year's Android phones might be a bust. You

2
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 1: can now sell your home directly to Zillow. iPhone gets

3
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: some features parents will appreciate, plus the app that turns

4
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: your iPhone into an iPod Classic, and of course your

5
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: tech questions answered.

6
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 2: What's going on? I'm Rich Demiro.

7
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: This is Rich on Tech, the podcast where I talk

8
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 1: about the tech stuff I think you should know about,

9
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: and I answer all of the questions, well, some of

10
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: the questions that you send me.

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 2: Joining me is producer Megan Welcome. How are you?

12
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 3: I'm good. How are you.

13
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: Getting ready for the holidays? That's for sure? Lots of prep?

14
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, are you still prepping somewhat?

15
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: We uh, you know, we're still aiding Santa with the list,

16
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: so okay, keeping things, keep adding things on little by little.

17
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 2: I was in the stores.

18
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: I was at the mall yesterday actually, and I still

19
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: will say, as much of a tech person i am,

20
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: I believe that going to a store is still better

21
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: because it's easier. You see, Like I was in the

22
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: Amazon store, which is ironic because you could just go

23
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: on Amazon. But I was in the Amazon Store and

24
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: just found that, like while I was checking out, there's

25
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: like five things around the checkout that would be perfect

26
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: as gifts. Yeah, and it's stuff that this is. I've

27
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: always said this about shopping online. You have to know

28
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: exactly what you want. When you're shopping online, there's no browsing.

29
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: And if these companies can figure out a good way

30
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: of kind of suggesting stuff, I don't know about you,

31
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: but I've never looked at the suggestive stuff on Amazon,

32
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: like I've never made a purchase based on something that says,

33
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: from your previous history, here's what you recommend, Like, I

34
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: never bought something. It's so random and so and plus

35
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't take into consideration like you might have been

36
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: buying like something random for a person that you're never

37
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: buying for again, like a you know, white elephant gift

38
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: or something, and it's like, oh, you would love to

39
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: you know, send and you're like, no, that was like

40
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: a one time thing. So I still believe that going

41
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: into the store, and it actually kind of makes me

42
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: sad that Toys Russ is gone, because that's what I

43
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: used to do. My wife and I used to go

44
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: and just go to Toys Russ and kind of look

45
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: around and you get inspired by.

46
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: The stuff you see them.

47
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 3: Where do you buy your toys for your kids online.

48
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: Well, Santa buys them, but we gifts, we buy, we

49
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: buy a couple of things. Yeah, and I think a

50
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: lot of them we we kind of you know, just

51
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: go off Amazon. And I think it's just kind of

52
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. This is the first year that Toys

53
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: Russ is gone, so or maybe it was gone last year.

54
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: I can't remember, but either way, it's it's it's a thing.

55
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: So I think Target is kind of going to benefit

56
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: from that. And well for sure because they do have

57
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: toy sections. Yeah, and I noticed that the Target toy

58
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: section is a lot bigger too. Anyway, Uh, CES is

59
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: coming up, I know. Uh, I'm getting a lot of

60
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: emails about whether I'm going. Yes, I am going to CES.

61
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: I'll be there in Las Vegas. If you want to

62
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: get in touch with me and you have like an

63
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: issue and you just you know, you have like something.

64
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: If you don't have my email address, it's hello at

65
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: richon tech dot TV, so you can email me there

66
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: getting a lot of pitches, you really only need to

67
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: email me once.

68
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 2: I will find your email.

69
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: I will go through it and if I think I'm interested,

70
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: I will definitely get in touch and I'm already doing that.

71
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 3: So exciting.

72
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: It is exciting.

73
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the first story of the day. Better

74
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: password protections in Chrome. So Chrome has had this feature

75
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: since I guess the beginning of the year, called password

76
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: check Up.

77
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,119
Speaker 2: It was an extension that when you typed.

78
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: A password in it would check your password against a

79
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: list of known passwords that are compromised, which sounds kind

80
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: of weird, like I don't really want anyone checking my

81
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: password against anything, because they have to take my password

82
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: and send it across some sort of list that seems

83
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: inherently insecure.

84
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: But this is Google.

85
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: I've met the Chrome team that does the security stuff.

86
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: They're very smart. Believe me, I do trust them, but

87
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: I think this is odd. But now they're taking that

88
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: little service called password Checkup, which was an extension, and

89
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: they're building it into Chrome. So now Chrome will warn

90
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: you if your user name or password has been compromised

91
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: in a data breach, and it will tell you, hey,

92
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: change this password. Most of my passwords are pretty good,

93
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: you know, like other people. I've been known to reuse

94
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: a password or two. I'm sure you do. And I

95
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: think that's where this comes in handy, is if you

96
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: don't realize that you used your password on a random

97
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: site that was hacked and you're still using it on

98
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: other sites. Chrome is like, hey, buddy, let's go ahead

99
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: and like change this up, you know, and it does,

100
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: I guess bring some light to this problem. I just

101
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: again find it really odd that they're checking my password

102
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: against some sort of list. Now, there are websites that

103
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: can do this. You can type in your user name

104
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: and get on the list. Whenever your email address shows

105
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: up on one of these like kind of you know,

106
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: these hacked lists will often be dumped online. They call

107
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: them like password dumps, and they'll just be like a

108
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: whole file of like millions of usernames and email addresses

109
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: and if not or sorry user name, email addresses and

110
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: passwords if not more. And nowadays, companies are getting better

111
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: about kind of keeping things secure, but those are big companies.

112
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: Smaller websites may not keep your stuff as secure, which

113
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: is why it's important to use a strong password that's

114
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: unique for every single website. I'm not worried about Bank

115
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: of America's website being hacked, because guess what, they have

116
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: the best protection in the world. I'm worried more about

117
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: some random photo website you sign up for and they

118
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: have your password that you use on Bank of America

119
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: and now if they get hacked, your Bank of America's

120
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: at risk.

121
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 3: So Chrome should be telling us.

122
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: Like today it says it's gradually rolling out, So if

123
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: you're signed Intochrome, you can turn it off if you

124
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: don't like it under Sync and Google Services, under Chrome

125
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: Settings you can change it.

126
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: I think for ninety nine percent of people, they're not

127
00:05:59,000 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: going to change it.

128
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 3: If my password is not good.

129
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: There are ways, there are other uh you know, if

130
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: you use like last Pass or Dashlane, they will scan

131
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: your passwords and do the same thing. Oh, I guess

132
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: it's a it's a known thing, all right, Megan, you're up.

133
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 3: First question, Okay, first question comes from Amy. Hi, mister Demiro.

134
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 3: I've been watching Katley Morning News since they began, and

135
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 3: I was a teenager back then.

136
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: Lol.

137
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 3: I'm curious of your thoughts on which iPhone to get

138
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 3: my daughter, who's twelve for Christmas. She currently has a

139
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 3: six plus. But do we know which of the new

140
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 3: phones is the sturdiest, the eleven or the pro? Which

141
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 3: would you choose for your child? She is very responsible

142
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 3: and earns all A's very good.

143
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 2: Well, good for her, But here's my thing. How old

144
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 2: is she? Twelve? Okay, so twelve is probably the age

145
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: I think I got.

146
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 3: My first phone, but it was a flip phone.

147
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that.

148
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: Was a different time, so I was like two years ago.

149
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 3: I was two years ago. Yeah, I think iPhones were

150
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 3: out two years ago.

151
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: So this is something I struggle with. I think a

152
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: lot of parents struggle with. And A, it's awesome that

153
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: you're getting her the newest phone, but bottom line is

154
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: she doesn't need anything more than the iPhone eleven.

155
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, she does not need the.

156
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: Pro unless she's a budding YouTube star and she needs

157
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: like all those pro features, which, when you really think

158
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: about the Pro features, the only differential between the iPhone

159
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: eleven and the Pro Max or the Pro rather is

160
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: you get a telephoto lens, which means when you zoom

161
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: in it's gonna theoretically look better. You still get the

162
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: wide angle on the eleven. And the other thing is

163
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: you get slightly better battery life and you get a

164
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: better screen.

165
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 2: So that's it.

166
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: Those are not enough for a twelve year old to

167
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: go over into the Pro.

168
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 3: She's like a photographer then maybe, but.

169
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: Even that it's like you're you're still getting the same camera.

170
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: I mean, except for the telephoto. A lot of times

171
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: people think that you're not getting the wide angle with

172
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: the eleven. You are, Oh, you're just not getting the zoom.

173
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,559
Speaker 1: And it's not as if you can't zoom in your phone.

174
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: You can, it's just not gonna be as clear like

175
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: high zooms. So I think go for the eleven. And

176
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: you're asking.

177
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: What the best like what she say? What was the

178
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: word she used.

179
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 3: The most sturdiest?

180
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: So I mean neither.

181
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: You know, if she's an eleven, she's a twelve year

182
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: old kid, She's gonna drop it a thousand times. I

183
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: would recommend a case, and I think she needs a

184
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: good case, like not just like an.

185
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 3: Apple case, like screen protector.

186
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: Screen protector. So we like tech armor, well I do.

187
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: I like tech Armor as a screen protector, and for

188
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: a case, I would go the Spec Presidio Grip or

189
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 1: some sort of Spec Grip. Tech twenty one is also

190
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: really good. Anything that is rated for a drop protection

191
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 1: of like ten feet or more. You can't just get

192
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: one of those cases that are you know, the nice

193
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: case that looks great that just kind of protects it

194
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: from scratches. You want something that protects from drops, yes,

195
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: and yeah, your case does not do.

196
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 3: That, like an Amazon case for ten dollars.

197
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: But the case I have that I really like too

198
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: is called smartish. I think it's called like Kung Fu grip,

199
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: and so it's really grippy on the sides, which is

200
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: really nice.

201
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: And it also has a lip.

202
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: So if you look at your case and you notice

203
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: that it comes up over the phone, that means that

204
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna better protect your phone in the event of

205
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: a drop. So yours has a little bit of a lip,

206
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: but it's not it's not one that's rated for drop,

207
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: I can tell.

208
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 2: So good question.

209
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: All right, Okay, so we talked about this in last

210
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: week's podcast. And remember I told you about the trip

211
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: to Maui that Qualcom brought everyone off minus me, and

212
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: so I was a little bitter.

213
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 2: Obviously you couldn't take the time off.

214
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: But I also mentioned something about that trip, and I

215
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: said something about everyone was super excited about all the

216
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: things that Qualcom was introducing at this event. But I said,

217
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: it's interesting because it's kind of tough to sift through

218
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: the hype of being in Maui for free and report,

219
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: quote unquote reporting about all the stuff and actually kind

220
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: of giving some good analysis of what Qualcom is doing.

221
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: And they launched their new chip there, which is the

222
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: Qualcom Snapdragon eight sixty five. So leave it to ours

223
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: Technica to have an unbiased person to talk about this.

224
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: Ron Now I'm gonna kill his last name, Amadeo.

225
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 2: Amadeo.

226
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 3: Wait, oh yeah, I'm Amadeo.

227
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: Okay, I think So.

228
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: Leave it to good old Ron, who I've I've read

229
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: his stuff many times. He gets real and he has

230
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: a great article and here's what the headline is, the

231
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: Snapdragon eight six y five will make phones worse in

232
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. So leave it to him to actually give

233
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: us some real analysis over this issue. Of everyone that

234
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 1: went to this event was.

235
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 2: Just raw rah rah rah rah rah raw Qualcomm.

236
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 3: Everyone was talking it up.

237
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 1: Everyone that went, okay free right now. Ron, it did

238
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: not seem like he went, but he followed the news.

239
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: Or maybe he did go and maybe he paid his

240
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: own way.

241
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 2: I'm not sure.

242
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: But here's what his thesis is of his article. This

243
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: is the first time so Qualcomm is so hot for

244
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: five G that's like the big next kind of next

245
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: frontier for smartphones. Right, and we've heard a lot about it.

246
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: It's going to be the next It means for wireless companies,

247
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: lots of money. For us, it means speedier connections. But

248
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: our connections are already pretty good. Yeah, we'd like a

249
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: more Instead of speedier connections, we'd probably like a more

250
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: solid connection in more places, like everywhere, Like when I'm

251
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: getting on the plane.

252
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 2: I you know that.

253
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've ever gotten on a plane lately.

254
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: You never have a connection, never when you're in.

255
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 2: When you're in your seat.

256
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy. So here's the thesis of his article.

257
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: He says, it's unusual because this new chip that basically

258
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: goes in every Android phone for the first time in

259
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: seven years, does not have a modem on board.

260
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 2: So what does that mean.

261
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: The modem is in a separate chip, which it's a

262
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 1: bundled modem five G and four G, and the modem

263
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: is what allows the phone to talk to the network,

264
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 1: so you kind of have to have it.

265
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: But what he's.

266
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: Saying is that because it's a separate chip, a lot

267
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: of these phones that don't need five G still have

268
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: it bundled in. Now, basically, Qualcom's forcing it on everyone,

269
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: And so his idea is that these phones are going

270
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: to be bigger than they have to be, They're going

271
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: to use way more energy than they have to They're

272
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 1: just going to be sloppier than they need to be

273
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: because it's a mess. And I think that's an interesting

274
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: take because and I think this has gotten a little

275
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: debate online. I think people are getting a little saucy

276
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: about it because, yeah, none of the people that went

277
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: to the event, like seemed to bring this up except

278
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 1: for him, and now they're kind of debating him on this.

279
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 2: Now this is his opinion.

280
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he does bring up a phone from the past,

281
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: which was the HTC Thunderbolt, and it was the first

282
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: four G phone with a separate modem, and he said

283
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: it was a disaster. It was hot, it was a slow,

284
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: it was a buggy mess, and the battery life was terrible.

285
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: So I think he has a great point here, and

286
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: I think that he actually brings up a Snapdragon press release.

287
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 2: Snap Dragon is the brand of Qualcomm's chips. He brings

288
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 2: up this.

289
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: Press release from twenty twelve when the company switched over

290
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: to single chip solutions and said, typically, the more chips

291
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: that are involved in building device the more challenging it is.

292
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 2: To conserve battery.

293
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: Okay, so he's kind of putting Qualcomm's own words against them.

294
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 2: Six years later, seven years later, eight.

295
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 1: Years later, the chip that's the chip, I don't know

296
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: if that's the exact one that looks very big. Oh

297
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: the little time Okay, Oh yeah, see that's what I'm

298
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: talking about. All these people on Instagram are shown off.

299
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 3: The ship's tag ad here in Mallie. Yeah, the Qualcum

300
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 3: snap Dragon Summit.

301
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 2: Anyway, So I interesting.

302
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: I think it's a great article to read ours Technico

303
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: dot Com. We'll see what happens this year. But I

304
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: will say this, all the five G phones, from what

305
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: I've seen, I've I've tested only the one from Sprint,

306
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: but from what I've seen, everyone is agreeing that they're

307
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: just not there yet.

308
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 2: The networks are not there yet. So five G lots

309
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 2: of hype, not a lot of delivery just yet.

310
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 3: Megan, all right, Okay, So this next question comes from

311
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 3: Pat and he asks is honey dot com safe to use?

312
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 2: Now?

313
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 3: I was confused because I googled, like honey dot com.

314
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 3: This is like a honeywebsite. Is he talking about the

315
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 3: chrome extension?

316
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 2: He's talking about the Chrome extension. Okay, yeah, Honey dot com.

317
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 3: Is not I think the website to make Honey like.

318
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: The National Honeyboard. Yeah, that's why, so join Honey dot com.

319
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: This is a Chrome extension that does all the automatic

320
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: coupon codes and all that good stuff. They were just

321
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: purchased by PayPal for something like four billion dollars. So

322
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: clearly PayPal SyES a lot of potential in this, but

323
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: their potential might be more seen in how they can

324
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: monetize users of this gadget or this software, and not

325
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: necessarily how much it benefits those users.

326
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 2: So I've downloaded Honey in the past.

327
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: I will say I don't use it. I have found

328
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: that it's just not as good as some of the

329
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: other stuff out there. And you've heard me talk about

330
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: some other ones. So what am I going to recommend? Megan?

331
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 3: Oh oh?

332
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: Shoot starts with the w oh yeah wiki by by,

333
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: So I like wiki by. I find that they have

334
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: the best coupon codes that work many many times. And

335
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: the other one that I would check out is a

336
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: brand new one from slick Deals, and slick Deals I

337
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: find is not as automatic as wikiby, but it searches

338
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: all of slick Deals, which is this great crowdsource website

339
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: for deals.

340
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 2: And it does unearth a lot of stuff.

341
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: A little bit more it does automatically apply the coupon

342
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: codes to check out, but I find sometimes you may

343
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: have to go into like their offers and see what

344
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: other people are posting about. Okay, but those are the

345
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: two that I recommend Honey for all the hype. Just

346
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: I feel like, here's what I think Honey did right

347
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: and why I think PayPal bought them. They had probably

348
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: the most deals with companies, So if I'm a Macy's,

349
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: they had a big team that would work with Macy's

350
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: and be like, oh, let's get your codes into this app.

351
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 2: But realistically, what I like about.

352
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: Wikibi is it's much more crowd generated, and I feel

353
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: like that's what gives it better codes. Because when you

354
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: use a code, Megan that you find somewhere. Let's say

355
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: someone mails you a code to your house, you type

356
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: it in wiki by notices that and they say, oh,

357
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna use that code for the next person, and

358
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: the next person gets that code automatically if it doesn't

359
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: work for them. Let's say it was a unique code

360
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: just for Megan, it takes it out of the running.

361
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: Whereas if you've ever gone to like these retail me

362
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: not and these offers dot com, you sit there and

363
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: you try one hundred codes, none of them work.

364
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to like sign in.

365
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 2: It's not good. So that's why I like wiki by

366
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 2: and slick deals.

367
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: Check those out, all right, Meghan, If you're selling your

368
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: house anytime soon, you can now.

369
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 2: Sell it direct to Zillow. Oh, which is just amazing.

370
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: And this is kind of the next frontier of buying

371
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: or buying in or selling a home is probably the

372
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: biggest financial thing that anyone does in their lifetime. Yeah,

373
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: and it is complicated. It's a lot of steps, there's

374
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: a lot of people involved, there's a lot of fees involved,

375
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: there's a lot of third party transactions, all kinds of

376
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: stuff that you have to do, and usually you have

377
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: someone to walk you through it, like you're broker or

378
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: your real estate agent, whatever that person is. But the

379
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: holy grail of this house kind of thing has always

380
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: been like one click online, yeah and just it's gone.

381
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: Your house is sold. So Zillo is basically doing that.

382
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 3: So they're getting rid of like real estate agents.

383
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: Well they're not doing that because Zillo still makes a

384
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 1: majority of their money based on referrals, which is, you know,

385
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: you go on Zilo to see how much your house

386
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: is worth and you end up getting a real estate

387
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: agent or referral. So I don't think they're doing away

388
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: with them, but they are. They are definitely streamlining the

389
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: process in a way that may or may not take off.

390
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 2: We don't know if this is going to work right.

391
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 2: They've started it.

392
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: La is their latest market and San Diego. They have

393
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: it in twenty two other markets which they've been doing this.

394
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: But LA is the nation's second largest housing market and

395
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: it's also the biggest market where they've tried this in Phoenix.

396
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: There's a lot of transactions. LA is very unique because

397
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: the homes are way more expensive than these other markets,

398
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 1: and it's also trickier, Like it's very unique to like

399
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: find a home in LA. It's not just like kind

400
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: of a cookie cutter area. There's so many neighborhoods and

401
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: there's so many different places that people want to buy.

402
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 2: So here's how it works.

403
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: You go on Zilo and you request a fair market

404
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: value offer on your home, and you get that within

405
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: forty eight hours. You answer some questions about your house,

406
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: like when the last time you painted it, well, you know,

407
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: what's this? That whatever, And it'll give you an offer

408
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: in about forty eight hours. Then you can decide if

409
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: you want to take that offer and continue and move forward,

410
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: or you.

411
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: Can just say no way.

412
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: Now, if you take the offer, it doesn't immediately sell

413
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: your house. You still have to talk to a person

414
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: that comes to your house, inspects it, and says, okay, well,

415
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: you know you got to do this and that to

416
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: fix this up. So here's the thing that I think

417
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: people might have an issue with. Normally, when you let's

418
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,919
Speaker 1: say you're buying my house, you send your inspector, he

419
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: inspects the house, he says it needs fifty thousand dollars

420
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: worth of repairs. You come to me and you say, hey,

421
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: you got to knock fifty thousand dollars off the price. Yeah,

422
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: and I say I'll knock forty five off and you say,

423
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 1: okay deal. The way the Zilo thing works is they

424
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: say how much you have to hate for repairs, like

425
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: how much let's say my house is fifty thousand dollars.

426
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 2: Worth of repairs.

427
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: They will say we're just gonna take that off your offer,

428
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: and they handle the repairs. They handle everything, and as

429
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: far as I can tell, it doesn't seem like there's

430
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: a big negotiation there where I can say, like, come on,

431
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: because it's it's transactional. They're dealing in big transactions here.

432
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, lots of houses, So could.

433
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 3: You do this just to see how much they think

434
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 3: your house is worth? Like could I like, I don't know,

435
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 3: like if you might not want to sell, but you

436
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 3: might want to just know how much your house is

437
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 3: worth because it changes all the time.

438
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, And Zillow and Redfinn do that already. You can

439
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: go on there and they give you an estimate. They're

440
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: not very accurate. So I think that having this person

441
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: come out to your house and kind of look at

442
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: it would give you But I don't I think there's

443
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: probably I mean, yes, some people do that and just

444
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: see and be like I never mind. But it's probably

445
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: a little bit more work than like for the average

446
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: person to just like casually see.

447
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 2: But yes, people will do that.

448
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

449
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: Cool, And anyway, I find it as a tech person

450
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: who has seen the inner that kind of change all businesses.

451
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: Some of these larger, more human touch businesses are really

452
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: tough to change. Buying a book online through Amazon versus

453
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: Barnes and Noble, super easy. You know the title of

454
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: the book, you type it in. It comes to your house.

455
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: Buying a house is a little bit different or selling

456
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 1: a house.

457
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 3: Or leasing an apartment. Like some apartments just don't come

458
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 3: up on like Zilo and you have to actually like

459
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 3: explore a neighborhood.

460
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: And wow, that's a whole nother that's a whole other issue.

461
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: That's that's more west side rentals kind of having a

462
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: big handle on the market and also brokers and stuff.

463
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 2: Like when I was in New York City, I couldn't

464
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 2: believe that you can't find a rental online. There's no

465
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 2: such thing.

466
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 3: It's a mess.

467
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: It's a person that you have to call and they

468
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: have your rental and it's a whole big mess.

469
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 2: It was the worst.

470
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 3: Well, you have to pay like a broker fee or something.

471
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to pay like a I think it

472
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: was like a month of your rental to this person

473
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: that helps you find a place. Now, if all the

474
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: information was just online, you know, those people would all

475
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 1: be out of a job.

476
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 2: But I don't want to do that.

477
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's it's kind of some businesses have not

478
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: changed very much because of the Internet.

479
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 2: All right, Megan, you're up.

480
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 3: Okay. This next question comes from Patricia wondering what your

481
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 3: thoughts are regarding purchasing through Rakotin. Oh, what is rat.

482
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 2: It's really weird and I've seen really weird. It's just

483
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 2: a weird name, right, Yeah, it's strange.

484
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: So let's see there's a there's a they have a

485
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: little pronunciation thing on the website because it's so is

486
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 1: that how.

487
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 2: You say it? Is that? No idea Rakotin? Because I

488
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 2: had to look this up to see what the deal

489
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 2: with Rakotin is? Is how you say it? Let's see,

490
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 2: so raccoon long as.

491
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: The short of it is is that it used to

492
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: be called Ebates rack rack tin.

493
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 2: Here, here's the.

494
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: Pronunciation racketin racketin, racketin racketin racketin so like rack, Like

495
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 1: you know, something's on a rack racketin So I guess

496
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: that's a Now, this is a Japanese company and it

497
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: used to be called Ebates, and Ebates is one of

498
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: these things that like you sign up, all your transactions

499
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: go through them, so you go to like, instead of

500
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: going to Macy's dot com, you go to Ebates dot com.

501
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: Click through on the Macy's link and then shop and

502
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: then you get a percentage of your total back as

503
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: an ebate, almost like a rebate and so racketin same thing,

504
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: same exact kind of thing.

505
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 2: It's all the same stuff.

506
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: Sometimes you get more back at places than others.

507
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 2: But a lot of people do this.

508
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: They you know, they do all their shopping through here,

509
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: so they get like one percent.

510
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 2: Pack the thing. Okay, here's how it works.

511
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 1: The store with the kind of larger price differential, So

512
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: somewhere like a Macy's. If you see a shirt at

513
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: Macy's it says MSRP eighty dollars, that shirt may sell

514
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: for fifteen dollars at the end of the day with

515
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: all the discounts that they offer. Wow, something like Amazon,

516
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: you're not going to find a lot of discounts. Like

517
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: whatever it sells for it sells for same thing with Walmart.

518
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: So when you shop at those places, you're gonna get

519
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: a tiny percentage because they're margin is a lot smaller.

520
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: When you shop at Macy's, you're gonna get a bigger percentage.

521
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: So that's kind of how these things work. And is

522
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: it safe.

523
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's totally safe, and it's it's to me it's

524
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 2: a little bit of a rigamarole. Yeah, that word.

525
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 3: So like sometimes it's great, sometimes it's not.

526
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of like a lot of workamarole.

527
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: It's kind of a it's like a Southern thing. I

528
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: think I learned it down there. It's like it's kind

529
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 1: of like a lot of work for little return. And

530
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: to me, it just seems like it's just a little

531
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 1: bit too much.

532
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 2: Work for me.

533
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: But if it works for you, it's absolutely fine. But

534
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 1: it's a totally legit company and they're they're it's a

535
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: Japanese company that's pretty big, and now they just I

536
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: guess they bought Ebates or they had ebaits and now

537
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: they're just using that name to make it one thing

538
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: across the world.

539
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 3: Okay, I like e Baits, though maybe it's eBay.

540
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: They don't want to like maybe I think, yeah, maybe

541
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 1: that or just Ebates. Yeah, Ebates was pretty big and

542
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: now it's just gone.

543
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 2: All right, So, uh, let's talk about Apple.

544
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: If you have an iPhone, they have a new version

545
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: of iOS again, iOS thirteen point three. And I'm just

546
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: telling you this because there is a new version, are

547
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: new features that are good for parents. There are now

548
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: support for communication limits in screen time. And what this

549
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: means is that during screen time you can allow communication, well,

550
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: you can set where you can restrict communication to only

551
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: certain people. So that means if you have downtime set

552
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: from five pm to seven pm every night, while your

553
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 1: kid does their homework, they can't call anyone on their

554
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: phone except you. They can't message anyone except you, they

555
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: can't FaceTime anyone except you. And that's the main feature

556
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: that I think is interesting for parents. And this is

557
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: good because the more you have your kids on these devices,

558
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 1: you know, it is a nightmare. My kids are always

559
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: asking for more screen time. They're always finding ways of

560
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 1: getting around screen time. They have every trick in the

561
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: book to try to convince me to let them on

562
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: their iPad more.

563
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 3: Everyone's so addicted.

564
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: They really are, Like you had this tiny little age,

565
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: and it's kind of sad. Like my kid just got

566
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 1: into Minecraft and he's five, oh no, and he's obsessed

567
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: playing Minecraft. And when he's not playing Minecraft on the iPad,

568
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: he's watching Minecraft on TV. Yeah, it's just absolutely insane.

569
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: So that's the future I just wanted to tell you

570
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: about when it comes to the iPhone. So if you

571
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: have a kid, check it out iOS thirteen point three

572
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 1: under the screen time you can now restrict communication.

573
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 3: This is a good question. This is from Carlow hi Rich.

574
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 3: With the last update by Apple, all my personal photos

575
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 3: in my Mac have changed from jpeg to IMG h

576
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 3: e C. How can I convert all my photos back

577
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 3: to jpeg. I'm unable to share any of my photos

578
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 3: now because of the change I.

579
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 2: Would be now. I just don't think that all his

580
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 2: photos he or she?

581
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 3: Uh, Carlo Okay, I.

582
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: Just don't know if the photos changed. I don't see

583
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: Apple changing all your photos.

584
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 3: It's new photos.

585
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: That's what I'm thinking. That's what I'm thinking. I'm thinking we've.

586
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 3: Changed to AHTIC only when you airdrop.

587
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: No, it usually it changes it to jpeg when you

588
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: airdrop to keep to keep it compatible.

589
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 2: But here's what's going on Apple.

590
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: In their latest iPhone they changed a default setting so

591
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: in an effort to Jpeg is great, it's been around forever.

592
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: It's not very good when it comes to image formats

593
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: compared to what we have now, which is hi C

594
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: and HIC is a smaller file and better quality. Oh

595
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: and so that's why Apple wants to use it, and

596
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: so they have switched on the iPhone, and it's been

597
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: around on the iPhone for a couple of years, but

598
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: it wasn't a default, and now with the new iPhone,

599
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 1: I believe it's the default. It was onmine, And so

600
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: you start taking pictures and all of a sudden, when

601
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: you go to share it with someone or do something

602
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: or download it to your computer or air drop it,

603
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: all of a sudden it's like, oh, it's an HGIC.

604
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 1: Now when you share it through like text messaging to

605
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: another person, I.

606
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 2: Believe it does change it to a JPEG.

607
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: So it's like it's very confusing because sometimes it works

608
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: just fine. Yeah, but other times I was like trying

609
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: to upload a picture like Twitter and it was like, no.

610
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 2: Can't take it, And I was like, wait what.

611
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: So I don't think that iPhoto changed all of your

612
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: old pictures to HIC. I think you're looking at What

613
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: probably happened is when he got the new iphot, he

614
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: probably looked at a few pictures at the beginning of

615
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: his timeline and was like, wait, what's this new achiic

616
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: and maybe didn't look back to the beginning. Now I

617
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 1: could be wrong on that. I don't use iPhoto on

618
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: the computer or photos as it's called now, but I

619
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: think that's what they did. Okay, So a couple things here.

620
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: Number one, you can change the default on your phone

621
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: back to just jpeg if you don't want to do that,

622
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: So you can go into settings and you go into

623
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: camera and under uh oh did they change it now?

624
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 1: Formats there's camera capture, and there's high efficiency, and there's

625
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: most compatible. So if you leave it in high face,

626
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna do the the uh h I C and

627
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 1: so if you don't do that, then it's going to

628
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: do the other thing.

629
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 3: But you can air drop HIC to another person.

630
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, if they have an iPhone that supports it. So

631
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 1: if you go to try to do it, you know,

632
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: it just depends where you're sending stuff. So if you're

633
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: sending it to your computer, uh, that's where you kind

634
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: of get into some problems. Like I was trying to

635
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: upload a picture to WordPress and HIC and it was like, no, dice, right,

636
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: we don't word press. Ye, But it depends how the

637
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: website is configured, because it seems like I feel like

638
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 1: on my personal website it does work.

639
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 2: I don't know. Anyway, it's very confusing. So you can

640
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 2: change the format, or.

641
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: What I do is I downloaded a little app called

642
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: I Amazing HIC Converter. I M A Z I n

643
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: g HIC Converter. I'm not sure if it costs money

644
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: or not, but it was in the app Store and

645
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: I use it. You just drag and drop an HIC

646
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: onto it and it will transform it into a JPEG

647
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: super easy.

648
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 2: That's kind of a one off thing.

649
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: So if you're just like for me, when I'm uploading

650
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: pictures to the webs, I will just drop them in

651
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: there and then I'll upload them. And I'm keeping my

652
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: stuff in HGIC because I feel like it's a better

653
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: format because it's not as universal right now, but it's

654
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: more efficient and I like when things change and I

655
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: like when things move ahead. JPEG's been around forever. Clearly

656
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: someone came up with this to be better, and I'm

657
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: kind of sticking to it. Yeah, sop, Yeah, it's a

658
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: little more work, but it's like, yeah, I would assume

659
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: it's better. Hopefully it sticks around and it's not like, oh,

660
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: there's no more, no more support for this.

661
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I don't think that'll happen.

662
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: Hopefully not all right, Pixel owners, if you have a

663
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: pixel which I'm assuming that's one of you.

664
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 2: Not many people do, but it's still it's still.

665
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: Look, the Pixel is not a widely popular phone, but

666
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: people that have it really do like it, and they

667
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: like it because it is smart. It's smart, and it's

668
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: one hundred percent Google. And when you use this thing,

669
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: you realize just how smart a phone can be.

670
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 2: Period. That's why people like it.

671
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: So the latest Pixel, the Pixel four, was getting a

672
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: little bit of flack online because people were saying that

673
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: Samsung was getting updates out faster than the Pixel, and

674
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: generally Pixel gets its updates before every other.

675
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 2: Phone on the Android world.

676
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: Well, I guess this is why Google is doing this

677
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: new thing called Pixel feature drop, And I think it's

678
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: an effort to get people away from thinking about Android

679
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: as only getting security updates. Because people obsess about these

680
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: security updates on Pixel. They're like, why am I getting

681
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: my security update? Google does them every month. Other manufacturers

682
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: have kind of fallen in line with that now, but

683
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: it puts a lot of pressure on them to do this.

684
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: So I think that Google is trying to say your

685
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: phone is not just about software updates when it comes

686
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: to security. We also want to do this thing called

687
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: Pixel feature drops, and these feature drops add new features

688
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: to your device. And a couple of new features they're

689
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: adding that are notable are you can now turn on

690
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: portrait mode at any time in Google Photos, even after

691
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: you took the picture.

692
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 2: And I tried this out. It's really cool.

693
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: You take a picture, just a normal picture, and you

694
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: go into Google Photos and you say blur and it

695
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: blurs the background and it's at any time, which is

696
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: kind of cool.

697
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it gives you more creativity. So that's kind

698
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 2: of cool.

699
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: It says, whether you took the photo years ago or

700
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: forgot to turn on portrait mode, you can easily give

701
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: an artistic look with portrait blur and Google Photos, So

702
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: that's cool. The next feature is about robo calls. Now,

703
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,239
Speaker 1: Google Assistant is going to detect robo calls before your

704
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: phone even rings. So on the Pixel they would have

705
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: this thing where when your phone rang, it would say

706
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: suspected spam and you would press a button and send

707
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: that call to a special little call screener that would

708
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: automatically say something like hi, I'm rich as Google Assistant,

709
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: please tell me why you're calling, and in real time

710
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: you would see what they say transcribe to your phone

711
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: screen and then you would have the option to see

712
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: if it's like we have a great telemarketing offer for you,

713
00:31:58,360 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: you would just hang up on them.

714
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 2: So now they're taking that step further.

715
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: You don't have to do that step of actually listening

716
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: to the call and wasting your time. You can let

717
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: the system do it and screen it, and it will

718
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: screen it out automatically. If it's not a robo call,

719
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: your phone will ring a few moments later with who's

720
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: calling and why, So it kind of like basically screens

721
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: your calls for you like a assistant would like a

722
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: real assistant. So that's one thing. The other thing that

723
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: they're doing that's kind of cool is they're now recording

724
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: those calls. So you can turn on a feature on

725
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: your pixel to record the call. And if you record

726
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: the call, sometimes he's called it pretty funny.

727
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 2: Uh, it's I'm assuming. How they get.

728
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: Around it is they say this call will be recorded.

729
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: As long as you say that, yeah, the other person

730
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: has the option to hang up.

731
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 2: You have to disclose that. Yeah. It's kind of like

732
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 2: when you call a company.

733
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 3: To you know, they say this call maybe recorded.

734
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: Same thing you're you're not verbally giving your okay to that.

735
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: But by saying that and you're not hanging up, that means.

736
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 3: Smart that it's okay, okay. This is a funny question

737
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 3: from Jason. I think it's funny. Maybe it's not very funny,

738
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 3: but he said, I just bought a new Samsung sixty

739
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 3: five inch led Q sixty series smart TV from Best Buy,

740
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 3: and all my friends tell me that hackers can get

741
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 3: into my TV to spy on me. Lol. Anyway to

742
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 3: prevent that or what is the best way to secure

743
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 3: me and my family from TV hackers? I just think

744
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 3: it's funny. All his friends are like, Oh, you're gonna

745
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 3: get hacked. It's not gonna I mean, we talked about

746
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 3: this last week.

747
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not gonna happen. It's not gonna be It's

748
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 2: not going to happen.

749
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: But he seemed to have a good sense of humor. Yeah,

750
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: did he drop an lol in there?

751
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 3: He dropped he dropped an lol?

752
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I think he's tongue in cheek. Yeah.

753
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: I think he's saying, like, rich, really, am I going

754
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: to be hacked here? And the short answer is probably not.

755
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: But with that said, we talked about this last week.

756
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: The FBI out of Oregon had this crazy warning about

757
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: smart TV's. I went on that Daily Mail show to

758
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: talk about it, you know, to talk about the idea

759
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: that look are hackers are always looking for ways in

760
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: and they're looking for easy kind of hacks, and TVs

761
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: could be easy, and so they could do fun things

762
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: like change your channels whatever, all these crazy things that

763
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: they just think is funny. But what's the end game.

764
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: The end game would be to break into your network.

765
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: And long story, I don't know the reality is is

766
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: this going to happen? Probably not.

767
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 2: But with that said, I'll tell you what you need

768
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 2: to do.

769
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 1: Number one, if you're not using the smart TV aspects,

770
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: turn off the Wi Fi that'll keep your TV off

771
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,919
Speaker 1: the network. Update your software as much as you can

772
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: so you know, if Samsung's putting out updates, always update

773
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: it because usually those software updates are adding new features,

774
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:39,439
Speaker 1: but primarily they're there for adding you know, safety. Yeah,

775
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 1: like security, like patching security holes. And the other thing

776
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,399
Speaker 1: is whatever password you use for your router and your

777
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 1: internet and or your TV, make it a strong one.

778
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 2: That's also unique. That's it. I think you'll be fine

779
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 2: with this TV. Yeah, I would be more concerned.

780
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 1: With a smart TV about all the data they're collecting

781
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 1: about you as you watch. That is much more pressing

782
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 1: to me than having some random hacker target Joe Schmoe's

783
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: house because they want to get access to his TV.

784
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 2: I mean for what reason?

785
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 3: Right?

786
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,760
Speaker 1: So I would be more concerned about all the apps

787
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 1: that you're using and all the data that you're feeding

788
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: to those apps. Yeah, and that's really what's happening. Craig Ray,

789
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: all right, So, Megan, we went on this story for

790
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: a gadget called the Life Door. Yes, and this is

791
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: a gadget. So I did not know that fire safety

792
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: professionals or fire experts recommend sleeping with your bedroom door closed.

793
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 2: I never heard that same. Have you ever heard that?

794
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 3: No? Right, okay, no, I didn't know this.

795
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 2: So this firefighter told us that, and I thought that

796
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 2: was interesting, and he explained it because it is.

797
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: It basically helps the fire stay out of your room,

798
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: which makes sense. If you're in a hotel room, they

799
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: say put like towels under the door in case of

800
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: a fire, which makes sense.

801
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 2: You don't want smoke coming in, so they don't say

802
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 2: open the.

803
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 3: Door, open the door and let the fire in.

804
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 2: It just makes sense.

805
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: There's a lot of oxygen in your room. A closed

806
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: door or would keep at least some sort of barrier

807
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: between you and a fire. Whether how long that barrier lasts,

808
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: we don't know. But what he's saying is by having

809
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,959
Speaker 1: it closed, just even if that barrier keeps things better

810
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 1: for a minute or two or ten or fifteen, of

811
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: course it's better, yeah, which just makes sense.

812
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, keeps more fumes out.

813
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 1: So a lot of kids don't want to sleep in

814
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: their bedroom door closed, including mine. I don't sleep with

815
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 1: my bedroom door close. I always we grew up in

816
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 1: a house where we always had them all open, So

817
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just weird. Like there were some

818
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: houses like when I went, you know, sleepovers, the kids

819
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 1: would close their door.

820
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 2: And you're like, oh, that's weird. It just depends how

821
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 2: you grow up.

822
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, So this Device to Life door is kind of

823
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: a ratchet. It has like a ratchet mechanism. You install

824
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 1: it on the back of the door and you kind

825
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: of open the door once to kind of activate it,

826
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: and then once you do, it has this little microphone

827
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: inside and it listens for the sound of a smoke

828
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 1: alarm and when it hears that very standard sound of

829
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: a smoke alarm. It goes into action and it snaps

830
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: the ratchet and it closes the door.

831
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 2: And that's it. It's all to us, very simple.

832
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: You can reopen the door, doesn't lock, the door closed,

833
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: doesn't do anything weird like that. It also has a

834
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: light on it so you can see kind of where

835
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: the door is if they're smoking the room. It also

836
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 1: makes its own alarm sound. Yeah, so a lot of

837
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 1: kids will sleep through smoke alarms, so this is kind

838
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: of a secondary alarm in their room right to.

839
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 2: Wake them up, to wake them up hopefully.

840
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: I did a story back when I was in Louisiana

841
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: where we tested the idea of kids sleeping through smoke alarms,

842
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: and I could not believe these kids. Middle of the night,

843
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: we went, you know, I had to stay up late,

844
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: you know, we went to this house. We set up

845
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: cameras and we put the smoke alarm on and the

846
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: kids slept right through it.

847
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 2: Oh. I couldn't believe it. Could not believe it.

848
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 3: That's interesting that you've done a story on that.

849
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually need to find my story because it

850
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: was it is. You know you do that, you I've

851
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: done hundreds, if not thousands of stories in my career

852
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,959
Speaker 1: so far. This one I could remember like yesterday because

853
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: it was something that just etched my head like wow, like.

854
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 3: Freaked you out a little bit. Yeah, so funny. I'm

855
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 3: a really hard sleeper, but I don't sleep through smoke alarms.

856
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 2: You you've woken up to a smoke alone?

857
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 3: Oh yeah? So, I mean so our batteries like always die.

858
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 2: But those are like chirps. Though, isn't that.

859
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,919
Speaker 3: A chirp you that still wakes me up? That's great?

860
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 2: Then that's good.

861
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's good. That's good.

862
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: In the future, I well, I don't know if people

863
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: don't really wear their Apple watches to sleep, but in

864
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 1: the future they'll probably do a thing where your Apple

865
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: watch will also vibrate.

866
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 2: To wake you up or you fit it.

867
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, because all this stuff is getting I think that

868
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,240
Speaker 1: these companies tread a little bit lightly in this area

869
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 1: because think about it. Let's say your watch doesn't go off.

870
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 1: Next thing, you know, Apple's getting sued because your connection.

871
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: So I do think that this is probably the reason

872
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: why fire systems have not evolved very much, because I

873
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: bet there's a lot of litigation, you think, so, I

874
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: think so even with this device, because you might argue

875
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: that like it puts you at risk, or you couldn't

876
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: get out of you room where your kids couldn't open

877
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: the door once.

878
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 3: I don't know, Yeah, I know you're right, but I'm.

879
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: Just thinking that it's anyway, So it's one hundred and

880
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: thirty dollars, which is very expensive when you think about

881
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: something that you add to your house, not when you

882
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 1: think about in terms of saving a life, but for

883
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: the average person that's just putting stuff around their house,

884
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty dollars a lot to spend, especially.

885
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 2: If you have three or four doors that you're putting

886
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 2: this on.

887
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: So I think that's probably its biggest impediment to success

888
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 1: right now. But if it is a device that a

889
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: big company thinks is necessary, like one of these big

890
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 1: fire alarm companies or smoke alarm companies, they may buy

891
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 1: this company and make these things at a cheaper price.

892
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: And I always say, like in a corporate atmosphere in buildings,

893
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: there's always if you look at a door in a

894
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: corporate system, not this one, but a lot of them,

895
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: well they call them fire doors. If you look in

896
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,720
Speaker 1: the upper corner of the door, you'll notice it's connected

897
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 1: by magnet to the back of the wall, and what

898
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: happens is in a fire, that magnet demagnetizes closing that

899
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: door and it becomes a fire barrier. And so these

900
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: big corporations are doing these big companies are doing it.

901
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: They're obviously protecting their assets in the building, people and

902
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: also the building itself. But it goes to show that

903
00:39:58,920 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 1: this guy's onto something.

904
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:05,760
Speaker 2: Totally. Okay, we got one more question, Megan, make it quick.

905
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:12,800
Speaker 3: This is from Josie. How do I delete an individual

906
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 3: from a group text that was sent?

907
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 2: Oh? You can't, you can you can't.

908
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 3: I thought we've had this.

909
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: We've had this conversation. I think you can leave the conversation.

910
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 1: You can't remove someone else.

911
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 3: Oh but okay, I think.

912
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,760
Speaker 1: You can leave. Yeah, I think that's it. Go ahead,

913
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: try it.

914
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 3: Let me just find it.

915
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: I looked on my phone to see like a group text,

916
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: so I have a lot of mixed group text, which

917
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: like Android and iOS. So number one, Josie, if you're

918
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,760
Speaker 1: talking iPhone, if there's an Android person on that text

919
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 1: at all, you can't do it.

920
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 2: Oh you can do it.

921
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: Oh you can't. See I tried it online. It did

922
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: not work. Oh, interesting, I guess maybe the.

923
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 3: Person was then.

924
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: I know, I'm assuming she's iPhone iPhone. Okay, So I

925
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: tried it with you and Luis. We have a group

926
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 1: conversation and it would not let me delete one of you.

927
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 1: So maybe you have to be the person that created

928
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: the group.

929
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 2: I don't know.

930
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 3: Oh, that's probably what it is. That's probably so.

931
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: I don't because it just seems like I'm going here,

932
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 1: this has six people in it, and yeah, I can't swipe.

933
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 3: See I can't, Okay, So it must be if you

934
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 3: created it.

935
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 2: Maybe if you create it, I think there are some

936
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 2: caveats to this.

937
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 3: But I didn't create this.

938
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 1: See, that's what I'm saying. It's all and does it

939
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: let you delete it, delete the person?

940
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm not gonna actually do it.

941
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 1: Well, but you can swipe left to do it, okay,

942
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: And you didn't create that group. See, I'm it's very confusing.

943
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 3: It is confused anyway.

944
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 2: The way you do it, if you can do it,

945
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 2: here's how you do it.

946
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: If you can go into your message the group message,

947
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: tap up at the top where it has all the

948
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: pictures of the people, tap info and then where the

949
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: person is just swipe right to left on them and

950
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: if it brings up delete, you can delete it. If not,

951
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: then there's either an Android person or something else going

952
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 1: on that you can't do it. If you're on Android,

953
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 1: you can't really do that, And on Android you can

954
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: do a lot more things like hide the entire alerts

955
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: from that message forever. On iOS, if you can can't

956
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: leave the group or you can't delete someone, you can

957
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: just swipe left on the message and say hi to

958
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: alerts and that won't can't be any more alerts.

959
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 2: Souh. Yeah.

960
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: The group text thing is interesting because I have my family.

961
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 1: I have a couple of them that I'm in that like,

962
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: especially my family, if they get going, it's like NonStop,

963
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 1: and it could be really tough because like you're doing

964
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: something like I'm eating dinner or whatever, and like it's

965
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: just boom boo boom. Or I've got a group of

966
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 1: friends that, like, you know, all of a sudden, they'll

967
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 1: just start talking and you're not really involved in the

968
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 1: common kine.

969
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 3: It stresses me out a little bit. I'm like, I

970
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 3: don't like this right now.

971
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: And I never mute the notifications because like it's just

972
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: too much work. So I end up just like having

973
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: my watch vibran.

974
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 2: I do do. I like that.

975
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 3: I mute the convo because I'm like, I can't do

976
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 3: this right now, and then they'll be like are you

977
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 3: there and I'm like, no, well not really.

978
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 2: Yep, in general or in this conversation.

979
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: All right, two things before we go, I just want

980
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: to mention I tried out this smart bulb dimmer which

981
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 1: I thought was really cool.

982
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 2: It's called Aurora. It's from Lutron.

983
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: If you have Hugh lights in your house, this is

984
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,359
Speaker 1: a dimmer switch you should check out. It is so

985
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:05,760
Speaker 1: easy to install. It literally just goes onto your light switch,

986
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 1: you turn the light switch on, You screw this thing down.

987
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,879
Speaker 1: It stays in place somehow, I don't know how, and

988
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: next thing you know, you now have a roll a

989
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: rocker dimmer where you can like or a circular dimmer

990
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 1: where you can turn the lights on and off or

991
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: tap to turn them on off. And it only works

992
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: with Hugh lights. But if you have Hugh lights in

993
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: your house, check it out. It's forty bucks. You can

994
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: add a dimmer switch to any room. It's called the

995
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:27,240
Speaker 1: Lutron Aurora.

996
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 2: It is so cool.

997
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: Lutron tried to send this to me for probably months,

998
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 1: and I kept saying no, no, no, no, no, I

999
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: don't want to try anything like this. And finally I've

1000
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: read it like three times, it was like, actually, that

1001
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 1: sounds kind of cool. Try it, and I'm in love

1002
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 1: with it now, so I love it. That's number one.

1003
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 2: Number two.

1004
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: If you want to transform your iPhone into an iPod Classic,

1005
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: check out an app called Rewound.

1006
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 2: It's just fun. It's free. It's just just check it out.

1007
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: It's called rewound, and it transforms your iPhone into an

1008
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,359
Speaker 1: iPod Classic with that click wheel that you scroll through.

1009
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 2: It's just so much fun.

1010
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: You just if you had, if you had an iPod Classic,

1011
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,160

00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,800
Speaker 1: I posted to my Instagram. I did not hashtag TBT today,
