I'm Rich Dmiro 0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:29.360 and this is Rich on Tech, the podcast where we 0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:32.000 talk about the tech stuff I think you should know about, 0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:34.479 and I also answer the questions that you send me. 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:37.520 My name is Rich Dumiro, tech reporter at KTLA Channel 0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:39.880 five in Los Angeles. Joining me is producer Megan, who 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:43.400 is still trying to find something good to watch on Netflix. 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:46.040 Yes, I am. The struggle is real. 0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:48.279 It is well, when you've watched everything on. 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:51.160 There, I know it's tough. There's really nothing left. 0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:53.720 There's just nothing left after Yeah, you know when you've 0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:56.280 watched season two and season three. But you said this 0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:57.600 show Babies looks good. 0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:00.760 No, actually I saw it. I was like, this this 0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:03.680 show is for my mom, like finally a show made 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:09.479 for my mom. She doesn't like adults, Yeah, no, she 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:12.880 she wants something that's like, you know, cute and simple. 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:13.520 And what is it about. 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:17.440 It's about babies and like like how babies she would see. 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:18.880 My mom was a nick you nurse. 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:23.600 Oh, okay, that's right. 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:24.320 That's why. 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:26.399 Okay, that is Upper Alley. 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:29.080 It makes much more sense. Okay, well, but that's what's 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:29.920 great about Netflix. 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:33.320 I'm still trying to find finish the Taylor Shift documentary 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:37.320 The Morning Show, and I don't know, but I am 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:40.240 going on a plane soon, so I will definitely catch 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.760 up on something. It might be. I don't know, but 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.240 I did finish three books in the past like two months, 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:46.000 so that's good. 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:47.080 Yeah. 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:51.520 I just I just finished the the book by Robert Eiger. 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:53.440 It was called A Ride of a Lifetime. 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:56.160 Does he go by Robert or Bob? Uh? 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.840 Well, when you're friends with him, you call him Robert. Okay, yeah, 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.800 he's Bob Eiger. Yeah, he's the CEO of Disney. I 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.480 actually thought it was a very much more behind the 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.760 scenes looked than I thought Disney would allow. There's nothing, 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:12.560 nothing in there, but he goes into his relationship with 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:16.120 Steve Jobs and like the Pixar sale, the Marvel sale, 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:18.600 the or should I say, the purchase, the Pixar purchase, 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:22.120 the Marvel purchase, the Star Wars purchase, the Disney plus 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:24.400 Star I mean, all this stuff that's happened at Disney, 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:26.120 and it was a great book, and I read it 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.360 for free on Libby. The biggest takeaway I got was 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:32.240 really the interpersonal relationships that he had built over the 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:35.480 years and how he handled people, especially high powered people, 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:38.040 because there's a lot of fragile egos at those levels, 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:39.440 and I thought he did a great. 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:39.760 Job with that. 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:43.000 Yeah, let's get to the first story of the week, 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:46.440 which is the Samsung Galaxy S twenty. It is in 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:49.520 my hand right here. Look at this here it is. 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:55.320 It's giant, but I will tell you best feeling Samsung 0:02:55.360 --> 0:03:00.200 device ever. It's thicker than typical devices, but they made 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.840 it in such a way that it's the edges are 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.600 nice and rounded, like in a perfect way where it 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:07.560 actually feels good in your hand. It looks so much 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:10.960 like the iPhone It kind of, but I don't think so. 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.760 I think I think it has that Samsung classic kind 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.200 of look to it. It's got the hundred times zoom 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.480 on the back. Last night I took it out to 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:21.760 take some pictures with it, and I want to do 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:24.600 pictures at night because you're gonna see a million pictures. 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.080 You're gonna see two types of pictures with this device. 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:29.880 You're gonna see a hundred time zoom because everyone's trying 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.080 that out. I can give you the bottom line of that, 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.519 you never need it. There's never going to be a 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:38.160 photo you take it a hundred time zoom that's worth anything. Now, 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.920 there could be certain little circumstances where you get in 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:43.200 real close on something or you get a better vantage point. 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.040 But I will say the zoom on this camera in 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:49.280 general is really good, even up to ten times, which 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:52.040 is sort of optical, which optical means you're getting the 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:55.160 best possible quality. After that, it's kind of a crapshoot, 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:58.000 but it's still nice up until you know, when you 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:02.160 get into thirty fifty, one hundred, it's it's not really usable. 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.480 With that said, it's kind of fun to have. And 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:07.800 so you'll be seeing pictures with the zoom. You'll be 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.800 seeing a lot of outdoor pictures, like of flowers in 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.600 the sky. Every picture I've ever to, every camera I've 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:15.400 ever tested in the past ten years, can take great 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.679 pictures of the sky, great pictures of flowers, great pictures 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:22.400 of landscapes, great pictures of houses. They take pictures inside bars, 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:24.520 you know, like the liquor all lined up like it's 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:25.159 gonna look good. 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.039 Yeah, maybe those are just my pictures, those are just 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:28.760 your pictures. 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.800 But the pictures that I wanted to take were at night. 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:34.520 So I went to city Walk last night in Hollywood 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:37.760 and I just kind of tried out the camera there 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:43.080 against the iPhone, and I will tell you, the thing 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:46.400 that I noticed is that these cameras take very different pictures. 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:51.000 The Samsung pictures, in my opinion, they kind of pop. 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.919 They definitely pop, and when you see them, you're like, WHOA, 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.080 that's a great picture. And then you look at the 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:57.880 iPhone picture and it's kind of like ah, but you 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:00.480 look at them closely, and they're both very good. They're 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.040 just different, right, And it's a preference. From what I've 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:06.080 learned on my Facebook page and all the comments I'm reading, 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.480 it is very much a matter of personal preference. 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:13.640 And I asked you, I said, like, did so you're 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:15.839 looking at whatever you're taking a picture of, and which 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.480 camera took the most realistic picture? 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:22.040 I think the most realistic was the iPhone, Okay, whereas 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:25.160 the Samsung pictures look like the brightness was sort of 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:27.880 pumped up. So if you're looking at a scene, then 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.000 you look at it through the Samsung viewfinder, you're like, 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.279 wholl where'd all that light come from? It's letting in 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:35.560 a lot more light. Now, Okay, so it looks great. 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:37.560 I would say I thought I was going to be 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.320 blown away by the camera. I think that it's great, 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:41.960 and I think everyone that gets this phone is going 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.040 to think it's really nice. It's not. I wouldn't say 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.680 it's like ten leaps ahead of the iPhone. And believe me, 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:49.320 it's only day one. I've had this thing for less 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:51.760 than twenty four hours, right, so they'll be more testing 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:53.960 you have time. I'm more I'm forming my opinion. But 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:57.479 my simcard has gone from my iPhone into the Samsung. 0:05:57.839 --> 0:05:59.440 It's because I want to use it as a daily driver, 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:01.080 so I can see the battery life is like, I 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:03.880 can see what placing calls is like, taking calls, writing 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.960 out texts without I message, all these little things. I 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:09.240 will be testing over the next couple of weeks to 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:10.240 see how it is. 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:13.479 Do you prefer I mean this is you still have 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:15.239 to like feel it out, but like, do you prefer 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.880 typing on the Samsung over the iPhone? 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:19.960 Or is that I feel like the iPhone's easier to 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:22.320 type on. I feel like there's a lot of little 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.400 aspects of the iPhone that are very good that you 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.279 kind of forget about when you go back to Android 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:28.919 and I go back and forth a lot, right, and 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:30.440 so I see and I'm like, oh, yeah, I remember 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:32.320 like that for some reason, like the screen is just 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.400 it's just easier to type on on the on the 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:36.080 iPhone for some reason. I don't know why it is, 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.680 Like I've I've I've experimented with like taping, taking the 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.120 haptic off, which haptic is like a little vibration when 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:45.800 you tap a letter. iPhone doesn't have that. Okay, Samsung does, 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.120 all the all the androids do. So I tried like 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:50.159 taking that off to see, like, em I don't know, 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.640 So we'll say, uh, I think that at this point, 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:57.000 iPhone eleven Promax versus the Samsung Ultra, you're gonna be 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.679 very happy with either one. It really comes down to preference, 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.320 like what do you like? Yeah, so all right, let's 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:02.800 get a question. 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.320 All right, So our first question, Oh, if you. 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:06.680 Want to see all those pictures I took Rich on 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.200 tech dot tv my website, Oh yeah. 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:12.280 Check those out.

Our first question 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:23.480 comes from Giovanna. I have an elderly and who replies 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:27.720 to all my posts on Facebook with huge animated gifts. 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.480 But is it jiffs? I don't know, okay, but I 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:33.520 don't want to hurt her feelings by telling her they 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.560 are annoying. I scoured the web for instructions on how 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:39.640 to block these on Facebook, but without success. Is this 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.239 even possible? Thanks so much for your help. 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.880 The Jeff, oh gosh, you know, I can't remember if 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.400 it's Jiff or Giff. I think it's Jiff, the guy 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:51.360 who created and I think the company who does all 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:55.080 the little jiffs for like Instagram, is like named Jiffy. Okay, 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:59.280 not Giffy, right, so you know what I'm talking about. 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:02.160 Like the guy gif Jeff is named after someone. 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:07.160 Well, the original thing was graphical, oh god, a graphical 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:10.360 interface format or something, graphical interface format. 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.040 Okay, did you know that? Nope? 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.520 Yeah, So I think that's where Jeff originally came from, 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:20.600 Graphics interchange format. So I think that was the original 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:27.440 and that's why people said it was gift because it ghics. 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:30.840 And then you get to jiff, which is like the 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:34.120 peanut butter, which has nothing to do with the jiffs, 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:36.520 and you say jiffy, which is like the peanut butter. 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:39.920 So long story short, I don't. I don't argue anymore. 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:44.079 I just say, I sayeff and it's fine whatever. I 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.560 just and you could say however you want. But yes, 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:50.800 jiffs are so popular on everything, and I hate them. 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:55.120 I cannot stand jiffs. I get them, people text them 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.280 back to me. And here's what bugs me about jiffs. 0:08:57.840 --> 0:08:59.720 You tell me if you feel this way. They stressed 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.400 me out because they loop over and over. So when 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:04.480 you're looking at your phone, at your text message with 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.079 a friend and all you see is the gift going 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:10.400 over and over and over, I'm like, will you stop moving? Yeah, 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:13.640 it gives me an unsettled feeling. See, I love it, 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:18.720 you love all that unsettledness is your whole life and chaos. 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.960 Because of it. No, it makes me laugh because it's 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:25.400 like someone dancing, or like every time right for like 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:27.800 an hour, I don't okay, but okay, I don't sit 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.520 there and stare at it like I like see it 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:31.240 and I'm moving Okay. 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:33.400 If your phone is sitting on a on a place 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.040 like okay, on my kitchen counter and I stop typing 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:38.280 with someone right Like, I'm texting with someone and I 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:40.200 just see the little gift going over and over and over. 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:41.880 It really like out of the corner of my eye. 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.199 It really bugs me. And so that's why I try 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.040 not to use them very much in my text because 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:48.199 I feel like you're putting a burden on someone else 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:49.600 by sending them that file. 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:53.760 A burden, yes, because it is looping and it just 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:58.000 it stress. Send you a jiff, you get annoyed. 0:09:58.640 --> 0:09:59.880 I just I try. 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:01.679 I have to like te funny because the intention is 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:02.800 to make you laugh. 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:06.000 It does for one second, and yes, stop, don't get 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:07.800 me wrong, I do laugh. I think there should be 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:10.880 a timer where you can set how long a jiff plays. 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:13.960 Like going through Instagram stories, you want to look at 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.640 the person's story, but the thing is going and going 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:19.480 in It's like Friday. It's like waving, you know, like 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.160 a little wave of the word Friday. It's like, stop moving. 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:26.040 Let me just see what's going on in this picture. Okay, Oka? 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:29.199 Are you okay? Okay? 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.319 So to answer the question, I see why this. I 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:34.600 understand why this woman doesn't like this, but I will 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:36.400 tell you that I don't think there's a blanket way 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:40.080 to turn off the comments in you know, your Facebook post. 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:41.040 You got to block your aunt. 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:42.800 You gotta either block your aunt, which you don't want 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:46.199 to do. I mean, there's there's a feature on Instagram 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:49.480 called restrict which lets only your aunt see her stuff, 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:51.600 but nobody else sees it, which is like even sadder. 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:54.920 So you're they're just commenting into like a black hole. 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.720 And then the other thing you can do is, let's 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.400 see is hide her comment so you can hover over 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:06.840 and hide, which is equally a sad So oh yeah, okay, 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:08.800 I meant to I meant to talk about this with 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:13.719 the Samsung stuff. When you get a notification on the 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:17.600 Samsung AS twenty Ultra, the vibration is so crazy. 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.440 It you heard that, it sounded like you were being 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:21.520 electric cused, yeah. 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:22.840 I didn't know. I was like, what just happened here? 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:23.280 Wow? 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:25.360 It is crazy. So I'm not going to get used 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:25.480 to that. 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:28.720 It's not a silent vibration. It is a loud phone. 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:32.280 iPhone is like this little thing is like, yeah, this 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:33.880 is this is like electrocution. 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:37.080 It's like an engine. I'm gonna put that over there. 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:40.240 Okay, Well, it's reminding me still hear it anyway, good question, but. 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:43.200 No, you can't do that, sorry, Giovanna. 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:46.760 Speaking of iPhone, do we talk about iPhone? Yeah, we 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:48.640 did with the apps and stuff, but this is this 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:53.480 is really crazy and I think this is a huge deal. Okay, So, Apple, 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:58.000 according to Bloomberg, is considering letting you set default apps 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.160 on your iPhone. And I've talked about this on the 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.120 podcast You want to talk you think I hate jiffs, 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:05.320 just talk about how much I hate that you can't 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:06.880 set default apps on the iPhone. 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:07.520 Now. 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:10.040 Apple in the past has said that the architecture of 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.120 the system keeps you from being able to set your 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.480 own mail app, or your own calendar app, or your 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:18.120 own brout web browser app. But the reality is no, 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:20.439 they can make it work. They just choose not to 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.839 because guess what, the more you use Apple stuff, the 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:27.720 more money Apple makes. And Apple, according to Bloomberg, installs 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:33.160 thirty eight apps on their phone an iPad, including Safari, 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:36.880 web browser, maps, messages, and mail. For me personally, I 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.760 always talk about this when I'm surfing Yelp, looking at 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.520 a restaurant. I feel like it's a mind. I feel 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:44.040 like the whole iPhone is a minefield. 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:46.120 I thought you were to say something else. 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:47.600 It's like a land mine. 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:47.880 Yeah. 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:49.240 You sit there and you're on Yelp. You're like, oh, 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:51.079 let me look at directions to this restaurant, and it's 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:52.920 like boom brings you to maps that you don't want. 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:55.280 It's like, oh sorry, and on my phone it's sorry. 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:57.800 It'll download Yelp. Yes, well but that's everywhere. 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:00.280 Well that's on like, uh, that's if you're looking at 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:02.959 a Yelp review from Google. I'm talking about if I'm 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:05.960 in Yelp the app and I go to click directions 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:08.559 or in Redfin and it's like, oh, find directions to 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.800 your new house that you're gonna buy, okay, and it's like, oh, 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:13.200 I can't. It's like sorry that you want to restore 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:15.560 this app because Maps is not I don't have Maps 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:17.120 installed on my phone. I don't want Apple Maps on 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:21.120 my phone. I do, but okay, very angry today. 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:24.679 I oh, gosh, kind of scary and I'm just kidding. 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:26.960 I do I get fired up about this stuff because 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:27.839 it's really bugging me. 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.560 Yeah, And I think I think it's just very evident 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:34.920 that Apple, you know, they don't like to budge with well, 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:36.160 now it sounds like they want. 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:38.079 To Well, this is just a report, but so I 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.599 think the idea is in iOS fourteen, it'd be like 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:42.760 a clean break. They'd be like, we have figured out 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:44.920 how to bless you with this new feature. 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:47.160 So what does this mean? You? Like, you get your 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:48.760 iPhone and there's no apps, and. 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:50.440 You know, I just mean that you can right now? 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:52.280 You know how you can delete the default apps, like 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:53.840 you can delete the mail app or maybe I. 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:55.720 Don't know if you app, but I always feel sad about. 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:58.079 It, right you do, because Apple makes you feel that way. 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:00.280 But to me, I've used Gmail on my fine phone 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:03.160 for ten years. Yeah, and I don't use the male app, 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.040 and so I don't need it, nor do I need 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:07.640 every link to go to the mail app or every 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:11.520 link to go to Safari. And so by Apple saying here, 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:13.679 you can set your web browser so that everything you 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.640 do on your phone goes through Chrome, that'd be awesome. 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:18.920 You can set your map so every time you ask 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.640 Siri for direction somewhere, she would take you to Apple Maps. 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:24.000 And they've gotten around this in weird little ways where 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:29.960 if you ask Siri, h Siri play album on YouTube 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.440 music it will do it, but that's so cumbersome. Who's 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:34.240 gonna say that? So for me, when I was playing 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:38.280 like the Ingrid, Ingrid and Dress, okay, okay, So I 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:40.440 was playing her song the other day and I was 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:44.880 gonna call it up on YouTube music and it didn't work. 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:48.200 I had to say I just got frustrated. So I 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.000 ended up saying, just play her song. Even because I 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:52.800 have a subscription to Apple Music, and so Siri defaults 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:56.200 to that. It's like so much easier to say, H Siri, 0:14:56.400 --> 0:15:01.320 play Ingrid, Ingrid Andress. Oh my gosh, by the way 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.920 Siri responds to h Siri, it just responded like three 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:05.640 times on my eyes. 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.160 I just I still can't figure out Apple Music. I 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.560 got Apple Music, and I still am like, it's really 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:14.000 tough for you, Megan, Well, Spotify is just so much easier. Wait, 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:19.880 you switched. No, I'm doing three three months? Oh why why? 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:24.080 I was just like curious, really why? Just because I 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:26.320 was curious? Why are you curious? Because they have like 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:28.880 it's the same thing as Spotify, and oh. 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:30.720 They had like an exclusive Justin Bieber album. 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:35.960 Yeah I am not a big Justin Bieber fans, or are. 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.160 You curious or are you just forced into it because. 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:39.960 There's so many times I just wanted to see what 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:40.480 it was like. 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:42.320 She did three months free. Huh. 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:45.360 Yeah, you have Apple Music. I have Apple Music and 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:47.360 I and you're a big fan of it. 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:48.800 No, I'm really not. 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:49.160 Oh. 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:51.000 I mean I like the lyrics. I like how it 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:52.600 times the lyrics. Have you tried that feature? 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:53.440 No? 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:56.960 It's really fun. Okay, It's like how you That's how 0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:59.360 I sing along in the car. Yeah, you just you 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:01.680 press the little lyrics and it shows you the song. 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:05.120 It's like karaoke and your that's really fun. How you learn? 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:07.800 That's how you learn the real words. Okay, let's do 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:08.480 another question. 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:12.880 All right. This next question comes from Tim. 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:14.840 I feel like this podcast may have just deleted the 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:15.880 whole thing and start over. 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:20.080 That's so mean. Gmail and Yahoo want the phone numbers 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:24.040 of people to further secure email accounts. Is this legit? 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:27.360 Why do they want it? Uh? It is. 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:29.320 Legit. 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:30.520 It is legit. 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:33.080 You know why what is this called? That talk about 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:36.160 it called go on? I always talk about. 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:40.160 It factor two factor to authentication. 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:44.280 Two factor authenticationation. That's right, So they want your phone 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:46.360 number because a lot of times when I get these 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:49.240 emails all the time. People say that they can't get 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:51.600 into their Yahoo account, they can't get into their Google account, 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:54.480 and they're like, uh, what do I do? So if 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:57.320 you weren't able to get into your account, it does 0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:59.960 two things. Number one, it gives you that second layer 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:01.880 of authentication. 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:03.440 Laughing because. 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:07.399 It's just one of those days. It gives you that 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:10.119 second layer of authentication so that when you log in, 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:12.040 it will text you a code and then you type 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:12.440 that code. 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.120 Is it authentication or authentication? 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:19.760 I think you're adding an F in there. I think 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:23.520 you're adding authentication. No, there's not authentication. That's not even 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:24.240 a word. 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:30.800 Authentication. By the way, everyone he uses that all the time, 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.360 that button. Whenever I mess things up, hegos. 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:35.760 Are Yeah, pretty much, I've got that on my phone. 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:39.879 So it does that. And then the second thing it 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.919 does is if you ever lost your account, like lost access, 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:45.080 they can use that to verify you are who you 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:47.359 say you are. And so those are two ways that 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:48.760 I can help you out. 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:50.720 Yeah, it's kind of like the fingerprint. 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:52.800 Kind of like the fingerprint and what I get. The 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:56.080 other day, I got of setting up something and it 0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:59.320 said my password manager, and it said you want to 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:02.280 set away to recover your your password in case you 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:06.400 forget it or something. So again, these companies you start 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:08.280 out with like one little piece of information, but if 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.400 something were to happen to your account, they don't really 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:12.800 have much to go by. So let's say for Gmail 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:14.959 you lose. Let's say you sign up for Google Gmail 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:18.000 with just in your email address or I guess I 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:19.760 don't even know how you do that. You sign up 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:22.200
