1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,800

25
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: Ah, what a great day.

26
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: Good song to open up the show, because it is

27
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: a glorious day here in Los Angeles. The weather has

28
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: finally turned, that's for sure. I got a little father

29
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: son night last night. My wife was out with my

30
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: other son, so it was just me and my older child.

31
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: So we had all these plans like what you know,

32
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: I said, Hey, what do you want to do? And

33
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: of course we went through the list of you know,

34
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: going to like an amusement park, going bowling, this and that.

35
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: None of those were but we did go to habachi,

36
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: which I think is always a good, easy, kind of

37
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: like enjoyable evening. And I've never been with just my

38
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: son by ourselves, and we had a great time. And

39
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: it got me to thinking two things. Number One, habachi

40
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: is all about the chef that you get right, like

41
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: they have to be into it. If they're not into it,

42
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: and they're just kind of doing like the beating har

43
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: and the you know, the throwing the shrimp at your

44
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: head and all that stuff just kind of like okay,

45
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: going through the motions it's not very fun. But this

46
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: person we had last night was fantastic. Must have been

47
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: brand new because he really enjoyed it, and so he

48
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: was doing like the I feel like in California they

49
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: banned that flaming volcano for a while, like they weren't

50
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: allowed to use real fire, they were just using steam.

51
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: And last night, oh it was the fire was back.

52
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: So that was great.

53
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: And then it got me to thinking, how come we

54
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: don't tip this chef, like if I've been doing habachi

55
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: wrong my whole life and not tipping the chef, because

56
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: when it came to the end, of course you tipped

57
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: the waiter, but I was like, should we be tipping

58
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: this person anyway? So let me know if I was

59
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: doing that wrong. I hope I'm not. But afterwards we

60
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: went to pinball. I figured, you know what, let me

61
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: introduce my kid to pinball. And so they've got a

62
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: couple of places in Los Angeles that are restaurants that

63
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: also have like a pinball room, and so we went

64
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: to this one restaurant that I actually heard about at

65
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: CES this year, and the person told me, oh, yeah,

66
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: you live in La go to this It's a Korean

67
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: barbecue place. That also has a pin ball room, and

68
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: I was like, what, They've got two locations in Los Angeles,

69
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: So we go to one of them. We make the

70
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: trek there and I get there and the place is packed,

71
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: but there are two pinball machines in the waiting area,

72
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you gotta be kidding me. This is

73
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: the this is the pinball room that this person told

74
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: me about. And thankfully I asked because we were going

75
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: to walk right out, and I asked the host and

76
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: they said, oh no, there's a whole room of pinball

77
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: machines that way.

78
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: So we walked past.

79
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: This restaurant was just filled with people grilling meats at

80
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: their tables. I have not done that yet, but one

81
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: of these days. And we get to this room and

82
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: sure enough, I don't know, there must have been twenty

83
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: pinball machines in there. And of course I'm expecting these

84
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: pinball machines to be overpriced and expensive and this and that,

85
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: and they weren't. They were very reasonable fifty cents a game.

86
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: So we got change and we played pinball and it

87
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: was so much fun because pinball is like, it's not

88
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: really that high tech, but it kind of is. Because

89
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: this company that makes these pinball machines, Stern Pinball. They're

90
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: the ones that actually told me about this place. At

91
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: CS they actually have on pinball machines where you can

92
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: scan a QR coach. So you join this club they

93
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: call it the let's see, it's called the Insider Connected.

94
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: And so you join this club. And what's cool about

95
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: it is that they actually keep your score not only

96
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: across that machine, but across a leaderboard that is local

97
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: but also national. So in the corner of the room

98
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: there's a screen that has everyone's scores from like across

99
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: the nation or maybe worldwide, who knows.

100
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: So I thought that was kind of cool.

101
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: I did not get on the leader board, but kind

102
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: of neat that now they keep score in various ways,

103
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: your personal score and also how you compare to people

104
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: that are playing these games across the nation. If you

105
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: want to check out what it looked like in there,

106
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: I put it on my Instagram. At rich On Tech

107
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: we had a blast, and then of course my son

108
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,679
Speaker 1: convinced me to go to Walmart, and I said, please

109
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: do not make me go into Walmart, because I'm just

110
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: gonna spend money that I don't need to spend. And

111
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: sure enough, we go into Walmart, and right off the bat,

112
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: it's like, I don't want to get one of those

113
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: carts because I'm just gonna put stuff in there, and

114
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: we ended up buying a whole bunch of stuff. Walmart,

115
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: by the way, the last holdout I think in America

116
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: that does not do tap to pay. I'm going to

117
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: talk about tap to pay in a little bit later

118
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: in the show about some of the quirks of tap

119
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: to pay. But Kroger, which is the big grocery company

120
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: that owns like grocery stores in every city in America,

121
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: including Ralph's here locally in Los Angeles and probably a

122
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: grocery store near you, they finally broke down and accepted

123
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: Apple pay. Now, I've not been in the Ralphs to

124
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: confirm this, but I tweeted it and many people confirm that, yes,

125
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: Ralphs finally takes tap to pay, So thank you. Ralph's

126
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: one of the last holdouts. You can go almost anywhere now,

127
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: I think, and do tap to pay, even at the

128
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: Habachi place. I was talking about this on last week's

129
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: show or the week before. How in Hawaii a lot

130
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: of the restaurants are using that handheld kind of tablet

131
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: to take your order but also let you pay from

132
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: your table. And sure enough Habachi place we went to

133
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: was doing that as well, and so I love it.

134
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 2: It's just so much better.

135
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: Although I still think it's funny because the waiter took

136
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: my card and tapped it for me, I was like,

137
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure.

138
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: I think I can do that myself.

139
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 3: Ah.

140
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: This week, Twitter finally made good. And I said, I

141
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna talk about Twitter a lot on this show

142
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of gossip and a lot of

143
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: just like the dust hasn't settled around Twitter, So I

144
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: wasn't going to follow all the tiny nuances of Twitter

145
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: as Elon took over and all the stuff, the ups

146
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: and the downs. But I do think this is a

147
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: big deal. So Twitter this week and Elon Musk made

148
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: good on his promise to get rid of the blue

149
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: check mark, and the blue check mark for legacy folks.

150
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: They still have it, but I'll explain the blue check

151
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: mark for legacy folks like myself, and that blue check

152
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: mark meant that you were verified. This meant that you

153
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: went through some sort of process to get that blue

154
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: check mark. People knew when you saw Rich on Tech.

155
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: On Twitter, I was who I say I am. Now

156
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: they have stripped that from pretty much everyone unless you

157
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: pay eight dollars a month for the privilege of having

158
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: a blue check mark in the Twitter Blue program. Now

159
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: they call this verified, but it is anything, but it

160
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: means absolutely nothing at this point. So when you're scrolling

161
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: Twitter and you see a blue check mark, that means nothing.

162
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: All it means is that that person is paying to

163
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: get that check mark. Yes, they have verified the fact

164
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: that they have a credit card and a phone number

165
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: and an email address, but that's it. That person is

166
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: not necessarily who they say they are. Now, why is

167
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: this a problem. It's a problem because anyone can now

168
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: make a username like rich on tech with two h's,

169
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: get the verification, get the blue check mark, and when

170
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: you're scrolling through now it looks like that's me. And

171
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: this presents a lot of problems because you can no

172
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: longer trust what you're seeing at a glance. And this

173
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: is a problem we're seeing with the tech world at

174
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: large right now, with AI and AI created images and

175
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: videos and audio.

176
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 2: At this point, we just.

177
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: Don't know what's real anymore, and it's going to be

178
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: a big, big problem and so Twitter with people like

179
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: myself you could see that blue check mark and you

180
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: knew it was me.

181
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: That's no longer the case.

182
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: So my thesis there is just please, when you're scrolling

183
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,719
Speaker 1: through Twitter, if you're continuing to use it, which at

184
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: this point I'm on the fence, just beware or be weary,

185
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: I guess, because you just don't know. And already this

186
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: has presented problems. People are, you know, quoting things, and

187
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: journalists use Twitter a lot to find sources and to

188
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: get official statements and things like that. But you know,

189
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what the National park Service official Twitter is,

190
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: do you no? But if I searched National Park Service

191
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: and I saw that blue check mark and go, oh okay,

192
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: that's the National Park Service, now I may not know

193
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: because there is no blue check mark.

194
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 2: So just be be aware. Ah.

195
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, that was a big change. Snapchat big week

196
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: this week for Snapchat. Went to their event Snapchat. I

197
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: think this was the first time I've ever been invited

198
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: to a Snapchat event, and they held it in Los Angeles,

199
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 1: where Snapchat is headquartered, and it was a preview night,

200
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: so it was like a press night where I went

201
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: to and then it was the big event at the

202
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: a place called the Barker Hanger. It's this big, giant

203
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: like hangar next to an airfield. And it's interesting because

204
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: I've been to so many tech events over the years.

205
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: I've been to Apple, I've been to Google, I've been

206
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: to Samsung, so many companies that have thrown these things,

207
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: and they each do it in a different way, but

208
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: the common theme is that they are showing off what

209
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: they're doing in the best possible light. And the reason

210
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: why I like to be there is because I get

211
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: to go hands on with this stuff before anyone else

212
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: and see how it really works. So, for instance, they

213
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: showed off a vending machine that is in partnership with

214
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: Coca Cola that is augmented reality powered, and so I

215
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: got to test that out.

216
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 2: It's cool, but is it groundbreaking. I'm not sure. We'll see.

217
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: I also got to try out these magic mirrors they

218
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: have where you can try and close in stores with

219
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: augmented reality, and it's cool. And again, you're gonna see

220
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: a lot of news about this stuff, and we'll talk

221
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: about it more later in the show. But it's one

222
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: of these things where I got to try out because

223
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: unless you can go to a men's warehouse where they're

224
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: testing it here in Los Angeles, one location. You're probably

225
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: not going to see this thing for a bit, and

226
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: so it's kind of cool. And it all leads into

227
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: this kind of knowledge that I have about technology that

228
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: helps me figure out what's important to you. And it

229
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: goes back to this show. The show where I talk

230
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: about the tech stuff I think you should know about.

231
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: And so by getting a handle on this stuff, that's

232
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: how I know to talk about and give you that

233
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: perspective of what's important and what's changing. And there's a

234
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,599
Speaker 1: lot of it. So I'll talk more about Snapchat and

235
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: a little bit. I think one of the coolest things

236
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: they did is they put this AI in everyone's pocket.

237
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: So if you've heard about chat GPT, they made a

238
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: chatbot that is now open to anyone in the Snapchat app.

239
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: So if you have Snapchat installed on your phone, open

240
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: it up and you have this thing called my AI

241
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: and it's a chatbot. It's kind of like a friend

242
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: that's always there, always on. You can chat with it.

243
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: I've been chatting with it for the past couple of

244
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: weeks and it's wild. You can ask it anything. Should

245
00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: I go to the gym after work? Should I go

246
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: to a movie? What movie should I see? Where should

247
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: I eat? But they do lie, They really lie right

248
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: through their teeth, so be careful. They don't mean to

249
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: do it, but they call it hallucination. They just make

250
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: stuff up. And this morning I asked her a question

251
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: and just made up an answer. So pretty wild there,

252
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: all right, We got lots coming up on today's show.

253
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 1: Netflix after twenty five years is saying goodbye to the DVD.

254
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: Got great guests this week. Jasmine Enberg is gonna join me.

276
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 4: Hey, Rich, Yeah, I wanted to ask you. I think

277
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 4: you've seen a lot of things on Twitter and I'm

278
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 4: beginning a lot of Google ads about this new biometric

279
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 4: handgun that supposedly reads your fingerprints or poem. Remember like

280
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 4: in what was this Stillon movie where the gun could

281
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 4: he could only shoot the gun. Yeah, it's basically that

282
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 4: somebody came up with that.

283
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 5: And I was.

284
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 4: Wondering, is it too soon to bring out a technology

285
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 4: like this or you know, like is it kind of

286
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 4: an AI thing or what's your opinion?

287
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: Well, I mean this has been talked about for a

288
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: long time. I mean I haven't you know, I haven't

289
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: seen the Instagram ads, but they're definitely. This technology has

290
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: been talked about for a really long time. But I

291
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: think there's some challenges. I mean, you know, obviously it's

292
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: not a perfect technology. Some people might think it's slower

293
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: than you know, standard technology for a gun. You know,

294
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: it's more expensive. Of course, do you have to charge

295
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: this thing? I mean, obviously there's probably charging involved. So

296
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of pros and cons. But

297
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: I think, you know, the pros obviously are the safety

298
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: aspects that only the owner would be able to use

299
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: this device, and I think that's the biggest appeal to

300
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people. But you know, Jeff, by asking

301
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: this question that the are going to be people on

302
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: both sides of this in a very very profound way.

303
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on it?

304
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 6: Oh?

305
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I like the idea from a safety aspect.

306
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 4: I'm in the firms industry, and uh I look at

307
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 4: it as I don't know if it's something that it's

308
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 4: they're trying to fix a problem that isn't really a

309
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 4: problem yet. I say that uh in that uh they're

310
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 4: trying to uh market a gun to your Uh. Non

311
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 4: the people that say I'll never have a gun in

312
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 4: my house because it's too dangerous. They're trying to get

313
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 4: to that market because anybody who really wants to have

314
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 4: a gun should always get training, uh and other education

315
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 4: before even purchasing the gun.

316
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: Right, So I guess that I guess that that begs

317
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: the question. Then it's like, then who is this for?

318
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: Because if you, okay, let me put myself in these shoes.

319
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: So if I if I am a gun advocate and

320
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: I have a gun, and I you know, I train

321
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: and I get this thing, I I probably believe that

322
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take care of this thing in a certain

323
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: way that nobody else is going to get access to

324
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: that gun, and nobody else will be able to have

325
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: that and I don't need this feature on that right exactly.

326
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 4: It's just like the people who are saying, well, I

327
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 4: don't need to go learn how to drive because the.

328
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 2: Tesla will drive for me, which by the way, is

329
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 2: not true.

330
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: We know that we know that the Tesla does not drive,

331
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: and so and so again.

332
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so I see your point. Yeah, it's a mentality.

333
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: Well, I mean do you think Look, I think that

334
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: there there are so many issues when it comes to

335
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: firearms that people are either very for them or very

336
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: against them. I think that technology has ways of helping

337
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: various industries. I would say, you know, maybe this technology

338
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: or a version of it, if it was inexpensive enough,

339
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: could work for certain types of firearms.

340
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 2: But I don't know.

341
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just one of these things where it

342
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: just seems like it's probably cost prohibitive.

343
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 4: One of the things. Okay, because like one of the

344
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 4: things I'm seeing is that people are coming in to

345
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 4: buy firearms now, especially handguns. And these are the people

346
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 4: who are the the White Mobile upward so forth that

347
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 4: said before that I'll never have a gun in my house.

348
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,479
Speaker 4: They're not wanting to buy a gun because they're the

349
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 4: only ones that haven't bought a gun yet in California,

350
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 4: and they don't want to be you know, they they're

351
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 4: considering it like it's the musical chairs. They don't want

352
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 4: to be caught without one without a chair when the

353
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 4: music stops and the Zombia poclyps, the marauders show up.

354
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: The Uh all right, I got I got it, Jeff,

355
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 1: I got to leave it there. They're they're playing me off.

356
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: But great question. Uh, so many implications of that. Coming

357
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: up next, we are going to talk more about snapchat

358
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: and the implications of all of their announcements this week.

359
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: You're listening to Rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich

360
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you, talking technology.

361
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: Let's go to Paul in Burbank. Paul, you're on with Rich.

362
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 7: Hey, Rich, thank you for taking the call.

363
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, Hey, I work at one of the studios that've

364
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 8: been with Mac tech for fifteen years.

365
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 5: You shoed to work at Apple and have you.

366
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 8: Seen the new system Preferences or Macawestern tour have I?

367
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 2: Yes?

368
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 8: Now, imagine having to work with that every day for

369
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 8: you know, tons of issues and you got to keep

370
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 8: trying to prowd through that. I know they're trying to

371
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 8: do the mobile equivocal of the OS, but man oh Manette,

372
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 8: Apple has really seemed to lost their way about the

373
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 8: intuitiveness of their OS and their products.

374
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 5: What do you think I.

375
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: Would agree with that? I think, uh, I think it's

376
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: all over the place at this point. And when specifically,

377
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 1: the system preferences are where you go for all the

378
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: settings and things on Mac. And it used to be

379
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: one format which I thought was pretty easy to understand,

380
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,719
Speaker 1: and now it's just all over the place. It's in

381
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 1: this list, it does not make any sense. I I

382
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: you know, I just don't like it. And I'm sure

383
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: that there's a lot of people, and you know, some

384
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: of us. You know, people might say, oh, Paul and Rich,

385
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: you just don't like change, But the reality.

386
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 5: Is I don't.

387
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: I don't mind change. I just don't like when it's

388
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: when there's no reason for it.

389
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 2: Why, you know, yeah, right, how.

390
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 8: Does that improve functionality or efficacy? It doesn't, it does.

391
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 8: Progressiveness means progress, and even if you're a conservative republic

392
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 8: or whatever, you still want things to be better, better change,

393
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 8: not just change.

394
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, And I think we see a lot

395
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: of that stuff now. You know, I've I have my

396
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: greater thoughts on Apple in general, with how they control

397
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: the situation in many ways, but I you know, this

398
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: show is not long.

399
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 2: Enough for those thoughts.

400
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: But so, uh yeah, you're just you're just struggling with

401
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: this change as much as I am. And it's it

402
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: took me a while to go to this uh this

403
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: new os because you know, I used to do it

404
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: the day of and now I'm like, eh, I don't

405
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 1: need it the day of, and it's it's fine, but

406
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: it's just you know it again, it's a little confusing,

407
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: So I hear you.

408
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 8: I would say the same thing as attacheple. When I

409
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 8: worked at Apple, I I would not go to the

410
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 8: latest os because you know, there's a revisions that are

411
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 8: going to come out, but everybody uses it. Oh yeah,

412
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 8: so chill out, you know, let it work its way

413
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 8: through the you know, the ranks for a month or so.

414
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 8: But I really am thinking about putting a petition together

415
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 8: to send to Apple and seeing if we can get

416
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 8: some other people on board with the concept of you

417
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 8: remember five o'clup pro right, You remember how destroyed that?

418
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean I've gotten used to that at

419
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: this point, but yes, there was a lot. But you

420
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 1: know what, here's the deal Apple, And I will say this.

421
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: They did with the keyboard on the MacBook. I did

422
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,959
Speaker 1: hate that and they did end up finally changing it.

423
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's still the best, but it

424
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: was like one of those things where they're like, no, no,

425
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: it's fine, it's fine, it's fine until they changed it.

426
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: So that's kind of how Apple operates. It's like every

427
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: they kind of question you, you question yourself, and then

428
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 1: they change it and you're like, oh, I was right

429
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: the whole time.

430
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 8: Well, it's like the Titanic, you know, they they have

431
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 8: I'm sure there's so there's so much bureaucrat and infrastructure

432
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 8: in place now that if you have a change order

433
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 8: in is an act of God.

434
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 9: You know.

435
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 8: To keyboards on the MacBook pros, you know, they wore

436
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 8: out from your foil, from your finger, the letters would

437
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 8: come on. Yeah, and the keys was great. The new

438
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 8: Mac and one they have a nicer keyboard for sure.

439
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 2: For sure.

440
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 8: The throw isn't is good and the strokes, but you

441
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 8: know it is nicer than the old, no doubt.

442
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

443
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: All right, Paul, thanks for the call, appreciate it. Uh,

444
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: we can talk Apple stuff all day. It's just yeah,

445
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: the keyboard, my my, my, I always give my old

446
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: computers to my family members. And my dad is still

447
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: mad that the command key is as like there's no

448
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:13,479
Speaker 1: there's no command on it anymore.

449
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 2: It's like, why is this like empty? Anyway?

450
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to uh, let's go to Snapchat again.

451

452
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: with Insider Intelligence and this is all about the changes

453
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: at Snapchat. Welcome back to rich on Tech on location

00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: Okay, so we just had a big keynote from Snapchat

459
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: talking about all their new features, including AI AR and

460
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: all of the creators they have here.

461
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 2: What was your big takeaway from this event?

462
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 11: So it's really exciting to see so many people excited

463
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 11: about social media again. I think a lot of the

464
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 11: time in the news, we hear about all the negative

465
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 11: aspects of social media, and.

466
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 10: Here we're really celebrating all.

467
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 11: Of the good things that social media can do, talking

468
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 11: about creators, augmented reality, as you mentioned, generative AI in

469
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 11: the future. But I do think, you know, there is

470
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 11: still a big question considering we barely heard anything about advertisers,

471
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 11: and advertising, of course is Snapchat's primary business. It's how

472
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 11: they make almost all of their money, and they have

473
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 11: Earnix coming up next week.

474
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: Well, they certainly threw some big numbers at US seven

475
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million monthly active users, texting, snapping, video

476
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: and voice calls one hundred million minutes per day of

477
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: calling on average on Snapchat, so people are certainly using

478
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: this app.

479
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 11: Yeah, Snapchat users love Snapchat. I think they proved that

480
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 11: time and time again, and especially most of the Snapchat

481
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 11: users are gen Z of course, you know, it's it's

482
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 11: been really appealing to a young audience who have really

483
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 11: grown up with the app. We've seen even though other

484
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 11: contenders have come in to compete for a gen Z's attention,

485
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 11: TikTok of course being one of the big ones, gen

486
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 11: Z are still using Snapchat. Of course, they use it

487
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 11: for a little bit of a different purpose and they

488
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 11: would use TikTok or other social media services. And we

489
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 11: heard the executives talk about that today too. Snapchat is

490
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 11: more for messaging, it's not so much for public facing content,

491
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 11: although they did make some big announcements about how they're

492
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 11: improving those public facing surfaces, especially as they're trying to

493
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 11: be more attractive to creators.

494
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 1: So they did talk about that the idea of a

495
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: public story, So being not a huge user of Snapchat,

496
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: that is something that's new where you can basically now

497
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: present your stories to.

498
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 2: The public, which is a pretty sizable shift.

499
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 10: Yeah.

500
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 11: Absolutely, And you know, one of the big challenges in

501
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 11: attracting creators in particular for Snapchat has been the fact

502
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 11: that they don't have many places where they can post

503
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 11: public content, stories being one of them. Now you have

504
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 11: any user ages eighteen and over being able to post

505
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 11: a public story if they so choose, that will help.

506
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 11: I do think that there are some potential challenges to

507
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 11: that though, in terms of privacy on the app, and

508
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 11: I think there'll be some questions that will be raised

509
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 11: about how they're going to mitigate some of those concerns

510
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 11: potentially in the future.

511
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: A couple of features I thought were quite neat and useful.

512
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 1: This idea that you can see the popular destinations on

513
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: a map. Because they have a lot of data about

514
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: where people go, you can see places and save them

515
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: for later, which I really liked. And then they also

516
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: have this idea of the always on location without the

517
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: app open. So you've been able to sort of see

518
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: your friends on a map, but now you can set

519
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: a duration and say I want to share my location

520
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: for four hours or eight hours. There's some privacy implications

521
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: with that as well.

522
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 11: Yes, I imagine there will be some privacy concerns raised

523
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 11: about that as well. They were very careful distress of course,

524
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 11: that this is a feature that you would have to

525
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 11: turn on that by default, your low isn't shared.

526
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 10: But you know, given.

527
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 11: The problems that we've seen with social media and with privacy,

528
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 11: especially among young people, as well as you know, other

529
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 11: negative impacts of social media among young people, I imagine

530
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 11: this is something that they're going to have to really

531
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,719
Speaker 11: take into consideration as this feature rolls out.

532
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 1: One of the things they kept reiterating on stage, Several

533
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: of the executives mentioned it is how the app opens

534
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: up into the camera versus TikTok versus Instagram, where you're

535
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: looking at other people's feeds.

536
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 2: So what do you make of that?

537
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 11: So back in the day, Snapchat used to pitch itself

538
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 11: as a camera app, and it's you know, it is

539
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 11: very true. It does open up into the camera, and

540
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 11: I do think that's one of the things that sets

541
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 11: it apart from these other apps. And it's also you know,

542
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 11: one of the ways that they're trying to pitch themselves.

543
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 10: Now as a creator platform.

544
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 11: Now, Snapchat isn't a place for creators and influencers the

545
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 11: way that TikTok is, the way that Instagram is, and

546
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 11: the way.

547
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 10: That YouTube is.

548
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 11: It has a long road ahead to be to catch

549
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 11: up to it. But the more that it can position

550
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 11: itself as a place for content creation, for being able

551
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 11: to make fun and engage in content, as well as

552
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 11: having an audience to consume that content and a way

553
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 11: to make money, which is another big part of the presentation,

554
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 11: the better chance it has of becoming a bigger player

555
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 11: within the creator market.

556
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: My guest right now is Jasmine Enberg. She is the

557
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: principal analyst with Insider Intelligence. Let's talk about how they're

558
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: building Snapchat experiences outside of the app. So in retail locations,

559
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: we see a vending.

560
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 2: Machine that they're building.

561
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 1: A prototype vending machine with Coca Cola that uses augmented reality.

562
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: You can kind of select what you want on screen,

563
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: and then they have this mirror that lets you try

564
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: on clothing and accessories in a store and also shoes.

565
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 2: What do you make of those new experiences, So they're.

566
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 11: A little bit different for me thinking about the Coca

567
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 11: Cola vending machine, it's still kind of more a gimmick

568
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 11: in a sense. I think it's a fun way to

569
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 11: attract people to come to the Coca Cola machine, but

570
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 11: I can't imagine that that is a reason to necessarily

571
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 11: come back. I mean, you try it once and then

572
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 11: that's probably it with the the AR mirror. Shopping with

573
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 11: AR is not really a mainstream activity yet, but it

574
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 11: is growing, and I think that retailers might be you know,

575
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 11: more receptive to that, especially in stores, if snap can

576
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 11: actually prove real value in increasing in store sales as

577
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 11: well as reducing return rates. My one question about that

578
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 11: is is there a reason for somebody to go into

579
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 11: a store and try something on via AR for an

580
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 11: in stock item. Probably not unless they want to play

581
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 11: around with the AR mirror, but for out of stock items.

582
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 11: So imagine you go into whatever store, they don't have

583
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 11: your size, but you want to know if it fits

584
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 11: before you order it online in store, I can imagine

585
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 11: that would be a really good use case for an

586
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 11: AR mirror.

587
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: Where do you see Snapchat fitting into the large your

588
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: social media landscape.

589
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 10: Well, it depends how you look at it.

590
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 11: Right from you know, the user perspective, it is very

591
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 11: much a gen Z focused app. It's actually probably you know,

592
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 11: the first real gen Z app that has risen onto

593
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 11: the social media scene.

594
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 10: Now, of course we're seeing.

595
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 11: A lot more apps that are directed specifically towards that

596
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 11: younger generation, but Snapchat really kind of pioneered that and

597
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 11: it made that a core part of its value proposition.

598
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: Finally, AI obviously the hottest topic in the tech world.

599
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 2: Do you think that they mentioned enough about AI?

600
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: They have this MYAI avatar or chatbot.

601
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 2: That you can talk to.

602
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: They did open that up to everyone, not just paying

603
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: Snapchat subscribers. And also if you are a subscriber, you

604
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: can send a snap which is like a picture, to

605
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: the bot and it will send you back a picture,

606
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: which I thought was kind of interesting.

607
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 2: Do you think they're doing enough with AI?

608
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 10: It's a great question.

609
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 11: You know, there is a lot of hype around right now,

610
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 11: and it's where the competition within social media is shifting to.

611
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 10: But it's really early days and AI can.

612
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 11: Still be pretty problematic. I do think it's exciting to

613
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 11: hear what snap is planning with generative AI. I think,

614
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 11: you know, its user base is one of the most

615
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 11: receptive to these kinds of technologies, and we've clearly seen

616
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 11: that Snapchat Plus subscribers have really you know, or Snapchat

617
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 11: users have really.

618
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 10: Already taken to the MII chat bot.

619
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 11: I did a couple of calculations in my head, and

620
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 11: it sounds like my AI was one of the big

621
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 11: reason for Snapchat Plus plus is subscriber growth over the

622
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 11: past two months or so.

623
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: And they said they have about three million plus subscribers

624
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: that pay what four dollars a month?

625
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 11: It's about four dollars a month, I believe, And yeah,

626
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 11: and that's up by one million since January thirty first,

627
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 11: and my Ai launched too Snapchat Plus subscribers on February

628
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 11: twenty seven, so that's a pretty big number that have

629
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 11: signed up in just two months. And I suspect that

630
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 11: my Ai had quite a bit to do with it.

631
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: And one thing I took from the keynote though, they

632
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: did mention that they look at all of the chats

633
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: with the myai bot, so it's not really private.

634
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 11: The other thing that I took away from that too

635
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 11: is when Evan Spiegel said that don't ask for my

636
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 11: don't ask for advice from my AI. So clearly they

637
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 11: know that AI can be problematic. I'm sure there are

638
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 11: working hard to fix it and mitigate a lot of

639
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 11: the issues, but clearly there there is still potential for

640
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 11: problems with my AI.

641
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: So we have a company known for fun lenses trying

642
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: to move past just that.

643
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 11: Yes, absolutely, but not stray too far away from you know,

644
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 11: what it has, what it originally was. And I think

645
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 11: that's the challenge for Snapchat going forward is to remain

646
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 11: true to its roots while still expanding, iterating, and creating

647
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 11: something new for the future.

648
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: All Right, Jasmine Enberg, principal analysts with Insider Intelligence, thanks

649

Speaker 1: Rich on tech. Welcome back to Rich on Tech. Rich

656
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: DeMuro here hanging out with you, talking technology. Triple A

657
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: rich one O one. Phone lines are open eight eight

658
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: eight seven four to two four one zero one. Scott

659
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: is in Siam Valley, Scott, you're on with Rich.

660
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 3: Thanks Rich.

661
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 12: I'm calling because I have a family member that's going

662
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 12: to be at sea on the East Coast working on

663
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 12: a cruise ship for about seven months, and I'm looking

664
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 12: for cell phone, talk, text internet service providers that you

665
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 12: could recommend we look into while she's at c and import.

666
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: Oh, while she's at c That's an interesting one because

667
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: I don't think that there is one provider that work

668
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: across you know, wherever they go. Now on the ship,

669
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: do they they provide Wi Fi to the employees.

670
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 12: Yes, but at this point she doesn't know what they're

671
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 12: going to charge her. They told her it's it's available,

672
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 12: but it's not free. So if she's going to be

673
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 12: at c for six or seven months and it's three

674
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 12: dollars a day, it's probably going to run up quite

675
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 12: a tab.

676
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's not something that she should probably do, okay,

677
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: So while she's at sea, I would say, unless there's

678
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: a provision on the ship where they give them, you know,

679
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: an hour a day or you know, three dollars a

680
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: day for the Wi Fi, I would say, on the ship,

681
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: maybe activate Wi Fi calling and see if that will work.

682
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 2: Has she talked about that on her phone?

683
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 8: Yes?

684
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 12: I actually did have a conversation with her, and they

685
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 12: did tell her that it's unrestricted use, but there is

686
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 12: a fee for it, but they didn't know what it was.

687
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 12: They couldn't tell her what it would be.

688
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: Okay, So if that's the case, does she so? I

689
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: would say, while she's on the ship, it's probably going

690
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: to be a matter of she's not really connecting to

691
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: this on a daily basis. She sort of has to

692
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:18,280
Speaker 1: embrace the fact that she's out there, it costs money,

693
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 1: and it's just not something that she can do while

694
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: she's there the whole time. Now I'm not aware. I'd

695
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: have to look more into this, but I'm curious what

696
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: other people do. So maybe there's a form or something

697
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: online where people can, you know, where other cruise ship

698
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: employees talk about what they do to stay connected on

699
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 1: the ship. So that's number one. Number two, when you

700
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: are in port, there are various ways to tackle this.

701
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 2: Number one.

702
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,760
Speaker 1: Her cell phone plan may include provisions for certain places

703
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: she goes, so I would check to see what's included, specifically,

704
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 1: Team Mobile.

705
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:56,919
Speaker 2: Okay, what companies she using?

706
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 5: Do you know?

707
00:34:58,400 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 9: Yeah?

708
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 12: Right now, she is with Mobile.

709
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: Okay, she's with US Mobile, so they're more of like

710
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: an all a cart thing. So US Mobile may give

711
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: you the option to add some international roaming. I'd definitely

712
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: look into that, or you might even look into switching

713
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: to something like T Mobile that offers the international roaming.

714
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: The other thing you can do, and this is an

715
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 1: app that's really really good that I've used around the world.

716
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 1: It's called Aralo ai r Alo and they sell SIM

717
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: cards for different places. So what she can do is

718
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: activate a couple of these SIM cards on her phone.

719
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: They're e sims.

720
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 2: It's all electronic, it's all digital.

721
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: And then when she goes if she's going to the

722
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: same ports over and over, she can just activate that

723
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,240
Speaker 1: card once again. It may cost you know, ten bucks,

724
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: five bucks here and there, but you know, for maybe

725
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: some of the main places that she she's always stopping at,

726
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: that might be a good idea. The other thing I'd

727
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: recommend is just figure out the Wi Fi calling situation

728
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: and when she gets to these different places, learn the

729
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: different cafes and hotels that will offer Wi Fi for free.

730
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 2: And just lean on them for the connectivity. So that's

731
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 2: what I would do.

732
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: I've been, you know, sort of around the world with

733
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: cell phone connectivity. It has changed a lot in the

734
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: past ten fifteen years. Used to be when I went

735
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 1: to certain countries, I just knew I was out of touch.

736
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: And at this point, I don't think there's really a

737
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: place except out at sea where you need to be

738
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: out of touch. So great question, Scott, and uh, hopefully

739
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: she embraces and enjoys the fact that she's sort of

740
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: disconnected from the world.

741
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 2: When do we get a chance to do that? But

742
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 2: knowing she can be reachable in an emergency.

743
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 1: Phone lines are open triple eight Rich one on one

744

745

00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: nervous trying to ask her to dance with you. Never

753
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: I don't think I ever did so so nerve racking.

754
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 1: And now my kid's going through that and I'm like, yeah,

00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: You ever just feel kind of like sometimes you did

761
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: the wrong thing.

762
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 2: So kind of a funny story.

763
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: So I Samsung reached out to me and they said, hey,

764
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: would you like to see your pictures on a billboard?

765
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: And I said, of course, And they said, just take

766
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 1: a couple of two hundred megapixel pictures with the S

767
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: twenty three Ultra and send them to us, and We're

768
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: going to do this billboard event in the UK. We're

769
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: going to show your pictures on there, and obviously, since

770
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 1: you can't be there, we'll snap a picture of your

771
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: pictures on the billboard and we'll send it to you.

772
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: And said, oh, that's really cool. So I'm in Hawaii.

773
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 1: I take a couple of cool, like landscape photos. You

774
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,479
Speaker 1: could see these on my Instagram at rich On Tech.

775
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:00,919
Speaker 1: I send them in. I don't hear anything. I guess

776
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 1: this weekend happens whatever.

777
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:02,800

Speaker 1: It was last weekend, and finally get this email with

779
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: the picture of the billboard and I was like, oh

780
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: my gosh, that's so cool. And so I posted on

781
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: Instagram and I knew other people were gonna get their

782
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,280
Speaker 1: pictures on this billboard too, it was going to rotate

783
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: through them. Well, first off, I thought it was funny

784
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: that they didn't put my or anyone's handle on the picture,

785
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: so you just see my pictures, which is cool, But

786
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't say like rich On Tech anywhere whatever. I'm

787
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: fine with that. It's still cool to see your pictures

788
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: on a billboard. But the funny thing is I was

789
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: flipping through other people's pictures that they put up there.

790
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: Every other person took a picture of themselves because it

791
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: makes sense. You see yourself on this giant billboard in

792
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: the UK. Duh, Like anyone can see a picture of

793
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: Hawaii anywhere, just open up like the Internet. But you know,

794
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: to see yourself on this billboard is a lot cooler.

795
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: So I felt like I went from feeling like really

796
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: cool as I was scrolling through everyone else's pictures feeling

797
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: kind of like, oh, whoops, I really miss you know,

798
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: mess that one up, Sony. If you want to see

799
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: the pictures, I still think they're nice, you can check

800
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: them out on my Instagram at rich On Tech. Anyway,

801
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: thank you Samsung for the cool opportunity. Uh this is

802
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: the Piccadilly billboard in London. I don't think I saw

803
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: that when I went to London. I was only in

804
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 1: London for like forty eight hours once. I don't know

805
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: if I remember that thing. Let's go to uh Eon

806
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 1: in Norwalk.

807
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 2: Eon? Am I saying that right?

808
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 3: You're on with rich Yes, yes you are, thank you. Listen.

809
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 3: I am a VISUALI in per and I want to

810
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 3: know whether I can use the Sampson fond to get

811
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:38,760
Speaker 3: stop to it for research and dial Oh uh yeah

812
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:39,240
Speaker 3: I would.

813
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 2: I would think you'll be able to do that.

814
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: I I don't have as much experience on the Samsung

815
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: side of things with the accessibility tools, but I would

816
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: think that Samsung has just as many accessibility features as

817
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: Andrew as a you know, iPhone, and also Pixel. So

818
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: you're looking at You're looking at things like talk back,

819
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:01,720
Speaker 1: which we'll read what's on the screen.

820
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 2: Is that what you need?

821
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 3: No? Yeah, no, Y just research. Let's say that I

822
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 3: want to listen to a YouTube video and you said

823
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:14,760
Speaker 3: YouTube and whatever video wanna?

824
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think you'll be able to use Bixby

825
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: for those things easily. I think Bixby is actually pretty

826
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,839
Speaker 1: good for that. That's their voice assistant, So I think

827
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: that that's a good way to do it. The other

828
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: phone to look at is called the Pixel from Google.

829
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: I would say look at that one as well and

830
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 1: see kind of compare the features. But I think that

831
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: the accessibility tools on Samsung are going to be are

832
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 1: going to be pretty good for what you need.

833
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 5: Have you ever pixel?

834
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 3: Which one is better Pixel or.

835
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 14: Which one?

836
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it depends. I M that's a good question

837
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: specifically when it comes to the accessibility tools. I don't

838
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: have a ton of experience with either of those tools.

839
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I've seen you know, Pixel has a lot

840
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 1: of tools that will read things back to you, and

841
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: also their Google Assistant is really good, and also text

842
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: to speech is really good. But again, Samsung, you know,

843
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 1: I think they've put a lot of work into this

844
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 1: as well, and I think Bixby's pretty good. So have

845
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 1: you ever used a cell phone or a smartphone before?

846
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 9: No?

847
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,399
Speaker 3: No, I I when I when I when I used

848
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 3: to see, uh, in college, right tech, the teacher would

849
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,439
Speaker 3: like talk to the phone, I said, Now that I'm

850
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 3: usually impressed in maybe I can use something like that.

851
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think most of the modern smartphones

852
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 1: are going to have the text to speech and also

853
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 1: the talkback features, which which pretty much reads what's on

854
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: the screen back to you. And I think that getting

855
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: used to those that functionality is probably going to be

856
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: the toughest part is learning what it can do and

857
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: also what it's capable of and how to use it.

858
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: But for voice styling, that's pretty simple, that's going to

859
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: be very straightforward.

860
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 2: Really.

861
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: When it comes to actually using the phone, the back

862
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: and forth of what's on the screen, it's it telling me,

863
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: you know, to do, and also being able to perform

864
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: those functions all in a voice manner. It's probably going

865
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:10,879
Speaker 1: to be a little tricky at first, but I think,

866
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: like anything else, you'll probably get used to it and

867
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: understand the capabilities of what this thing can do. But

868
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: from what I've seen, yeah, I think you'll you'll be

869
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:21,760
Speaker 1: pretty good with the Samsung if you have a Samsung

870
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 1: in mind, So keep me.

871
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 2: Posted on that. Okay, okay, thank you so much, Alrighteon,

872
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 2: thank you appreciate that.

873
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: Uh triple eight rich one O one eight eight eight

874
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one. Most of

875
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,399
Speaker 1: the major smartphone companies have put a lot of thought

876
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: into accessibility in making these phones easier to use than

877
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: ever before. I mean, Pixel does it, Samsung, But you know,

878
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: it's one of these things that if you're not actively

879
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: using it and you don't necessarily need it, you don't

880
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: really dive into those features. A lot of times when

881
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: we look at these accessibility features, when you see them

882
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: kind of spring up on places like Instagram and TikTok,

883
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: it's mostly for sort of a hack using the phone.

884
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,839
Speaker 1: So there's like a lot of these accessibility features that

885
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 1: are meant for people of varying abilities, and people find

886
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: ways to use them, you know, for convenience, whether it's

887
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: guided access, whether it's voiceover, whether it's the tapping the

888
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: back of the phone to perform some sort of functionality.

889
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: So that's most of the experience that I have with

890
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 1: those things. But if you need to use it, I

891
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: think it's a matter of learning and going to some

892
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: of those resources that can help you with that stuff.

893
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 1: All right, Netflix, can you believe it after twenty five

894
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:45,240
Speaker 1: years no more DVDs? Did you even know that Netflix

895
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 1: still sent out DVDs? Yes, they do, And a couple

896
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: of years ago they spun off this business to DVD

897
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: dot com. They tried to change the name, I think

898
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: it was Quickstir or something a couple of years ago,

899
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: and that just went totally bad. And so they just said, okay,

900
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: dvd dot com. But twenty five years and I was

901
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:10,399
Speaker 1: one of the first customers of Netflix when it came out.

902
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:14,800
Speaker 1: And I would love to show you my first email

903
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: or tell you about my first email from Netflix, but

904
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 1: my email does not go back that far. Gmail came

905
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 1: out in April two thousand and four, so my earliest

906
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 1: email I have from Netflix is Tuesday, July fifth, two

907
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 1: thousand and five. I ordered the DVD Hitch with Will Smith.

908
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 1: It was going to arrive on or around Wednesday, July sixth,

909
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: two thousand and five. Remember that Netflix got really good

910
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 1: and really fast about these DVDs. Basically, as soon as

911
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 1: you put the DVD in the mail, the USPS would

912
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: scan it and that would send the signal to Netflix

913
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 1: to send you your next DVD.

914
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 2: Remember, you had your.

915
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 1: Queue, so you really didn't know what you were going

916
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: to be watching on a Friday night. It basically was

917
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 1: determined by what arrived, and if your movie didn't arrive

918
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,760
Speaker 1: in time, well you weren't watching it, and that happened often.

919
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 1: But then of course you would upgrade to more a

920
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: higher plan that offered more DVDs out at once, you'd

921
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: get two or three of these things, but then when

922
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: you were feeling like it was too expensive, you'd drop

923
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:21,839
Speaker 1: down to one. These were all the things we had

924
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: to do. So Netflix is going to ship out their

925
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: final discs on September twenty ninth, twenty twenty three. Netflix

926
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: says that this changed the way people watch shows and

927
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 1: movies at home.

928
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

929
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: We went from Blockbuster to the DVDs by mail, and

930
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 1: then of course to streaming. When that came along when

931
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 1: that was better. Let's see, the first DVD shipped was

932
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 1: Beetlejuice March tenth, nineteen ninety eight. So I'm trying to

933
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 1: remember the DVDs. I remember because I was such an

934
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 1: early customer of Netflix. I thought it was such a

935
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 1: cool kind of idea that the DVDs. Every time I

936
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: got one, it would come in different packaging because they

937
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: were experimenting with the early packaging to see what worked

938
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 1: and what did it. So at one point when I

939
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: first got the DVD, it was in all this padding

940
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: and it was a really thick envelope with like foam inside.

941
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 1: And then towards the end, they were literally just sending

942
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 1: like DVDs through the mail like without anything because they're like, ah,

943
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 1: we don't care if these things get damage, scratched, lost, whatever.

944
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 2: They're so cheap.

945
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 1: It was just literally the envelopes were so flimsy towards

946
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: the end that it was just kind of a joke.

947
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: Number of DVDs shipped five point two billion. Most popular title,

948
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 1: The blind Side. Number of DVDs supported twenty main genres,

949
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: five hundred and thirty subgenres. Unique subscribers over the year

950
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: forty million so again, if you have some outstanding DVDs.

951
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: September twenty ninth, twenty twenty three, end of an era.

952
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: I don't even have a DVD player at this point,

953
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 1: so I couldn't even play a DVD.

954
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 2: All right.

955
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: Coming up on the show, we got lots more to

956
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 1: talk about. I'm excited for this interview. We've got Martin Cooper.

957
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:06,319
Speaker 1: He is known as the father of the smartphone. Yes,

958
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: he made one of the first cellular calls ever. He's

959
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 1: gonna join me live to talk about that. Later, we're

960
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 1: gonna talk about how to remove your personal information from

961
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,399
Speaker 1: the Internet. But first your calls Triple eight rich one

969
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: though my blue check mark that I've had for ten

970
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: plus years is gone and I'm probably not gonna pay

971
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:54,839
Speaker 1: to get it back because I just don't think it's

972
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: worth it, but whatever, those are my problems, not yours.

973
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 2: Matthew is in your We had a Matthew You're on

974
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 2: with Rich Hi.

975
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:07,280
Speaker 15: Rich have a question planning and upcoming family reunion this summer,

976
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 15: and we're doing a bunch of back and forth emails

977
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 15: that aren't working. Just wondering if you had any sort

978
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 15: of messaging or any collaboration tool suggestion or planning a

979
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 15: family reunion here in southern California.

980
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 2: Oh, good question. We did this last year.

981
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: We went up to Bend, Oregon with a whole bunch

982
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 1: of people, and yeah, it was a mess. There was

983
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 1: not one clear way. When we first started planning, someone

984
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 1: suggested we all get on Signal, And I don't know

985
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:38,840
Speaker 1: if you know what Signal is, but it's like the

986
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: most secure chat app in the world, and so I

987
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 1: was just like, that's not going to work. Like that

988
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 1: is just not going to work. So my recommendation is

989
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 1: to get on a cross platform app that allows you

990
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 1: to do everything the same, no matter if you're on

991
00:48:56,239 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: iPhone or Android. Now, this group chat could get kind

992
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 1: of filled up with a lot of different people and

993
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 1: a lot of different thoughts, so that's definitely going to

994
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 1: be an issue. But to have one place where you

995
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 1: can go back and search what people said and suggestions

996
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 1: and things like that. My favorite is Telegram. Have you

997
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 1: heard of Telegram?

998
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 15: Yes? I have?

999
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:18,839
Speaker 2: Are you on Telegram?

1000
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:21,840
Speaker 15: I have it on my phone, but I haven't signed

1001
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 15: up for it yet.

1002
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: Okay, So that's probably the best thing I ever got

1003
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 1: my family to get on. About three years ago, right

1004
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:31,839
Speaker 1: before the pandemic. We all signed up and we have

1005
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,879
Speaker 1: a couple of different group chats, and you may want

1006
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: to create several group chats based on, you know, the

1007
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 1: people that are organizing versus people attending, and maybe you

1008
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 1: know different things like that. But what I love about

1009
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 1: this is not only can you chat back and forth

1010
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,280
Speaker 1: and the features are the same on iPhone or Android,

1011
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 1: because you don't the last thing you want to do

1012
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 1: is use texting for this, because that's just not going

1013
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:58,720
Speaker 1: to work. But if you tap into your your group chat,

1014
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: you can see all all the different things that people

1015
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 1: have exchanged. You can go and look at the media,

1016
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 1: which are the photos and videos that people have exchanged.

1017
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:08,839
Speaker 1: We'll give you kind of a whole catalog of those,

1018
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 1: like an album. You've got files, So if you had

1019
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 1: a file that you want to put like a PDF

1020
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: or something like that.

1021
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 2: You can look in the files.

1022
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 1: There's voice messages, there are links, so if someone sends

1023
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 1: a link, you can easily look through and see the links.

1024
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 1: And of course gifts as well, so you can look

1025
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 1: through and see what people have done there. But there's

1026
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 1: also a search functionality, so you can search and see

1027
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: what people have said in the chats. And my favorite thing,

1028
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: not only do you have reactions and things like that,

1029
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:42,280
Speaker 1: but you can pin stuff. So if there's something important

1030
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: that like, you know, where you're going to meet up

1031
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 1: or something that's you know, pertinent, you can pin, or

1032
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 1: a vote or a you know, whatever you want to do,

1033
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 1: you can pin that to the top of the chat.

1034
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 1: So I really like all that functionality. Now, the other

1035
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 1: thing that I'd probably recommend is a shared document, and

1036
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 1: so that would be something like Google Docs. Create a

1037
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:07,719
Speaker 1: either a spreadsheet or some sort of shared folder file, whatever,

1038
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:11,959
Speaker 1: and that way you can get everyone on the same

1039
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 1: page there with the itinerary. And then finally, the other

1040
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:17,840
Speaker 1: thing that we did that I loved is we created

1041
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 1: a Google Photos album, and so when people took pictures,

1042
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 1: you just could drag and drop them into this album

1043
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 1: and then everyone could just download the pictures from that album. Now,

1044
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:33,439
Speaker 1: now if that doesn't work, you can also just open

1045
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:37,840
Speaker 1: up a Dropbox account and easily have everyone drag and

1046
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:40,879
Speaker 1: drop their pictures into that shared folder and that way

1047
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: everyone could download the pictures as well. The problem is,

1048
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 1: I know you got a lot of folks on iPhones

1049
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: in the group because that's typically what happens, and they

1050
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 1: want to use all Apple stuff. The problem is Apple

1051
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: stuff does not play nicely with any other stuff. So

1052
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: my advice is to stay away from the Apple centric

1053
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 1: tools and to use stuff that is what I call

1054
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 1: cross platform. Matt Does that help you, Matthew, Yes it does.

1055
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 15: And what's something like like setting up a free web

1056
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 15: page through the Google web page? The system for an

1057
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 15: itinerary be a good system as well.

1058
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's a you know, like if you

1059
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 1: just use Google sites and just you know, make it

1060
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 1: so that only your family can access it.

1061
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

1062
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:23,439
Speaker 1: Now, I'm sure there are some websites that are specifically

1063
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 1: tailored towards family reunion planning. The problem is there's those

1064
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,880
Speaker 1: are probably operating on a freemium model, which means some

1065
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 1: of the stuff is going to be free and then

1066
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 1: some of the stuff you really want to use is

1067
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 1: going to cost you money, which you know you may

1068
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 1: or may not want to pay for. I think with

1069
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: all the free tools out there, you can easily do

1070
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: this stuff and make an itinerary if you want to

1071
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 1: do an itinerary that's shared with people. With folks, we

1072
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: talked about an app called Tripsy, and that might be

1073
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 1: a good way where you can share and put everyone's

1074
00:52:55,400 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 1: arrival information, hotel information, car rental whatever into one shared

1075
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: itinerary as well. So that's a good app. It's called

1076
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: Tripsy trips y last I checked, though, hold on, I

1077
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 1: might be actually, I might be contradicting myself because Tripsy

1078
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:16,840
Speaker 1: might be just iOS and I think it is.

1079
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 15: Actually, if we had something like that, that would be

1080
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:21,719
Speaker 15: perfect because we've got people coming from all corners of

1081
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 15: the country. Most people live in Orange County, but they're

1082
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:29,319
Speaker 15: coming from Arizona, people from Baltimore, Portland, all over. And

1083
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 15: we're doing multiple events from Catalina Island to not Sperry

1084
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:37,240
Speaker 15: Farm Cocktail Lounge and dinner night out in La because

1085
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 15: some of the family lives in LA. All kinds of

1086
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 15: things that get together just for the ants and uncles.

1087
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:45,239

1129
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:43,320
Speaker 9: at a hand of times. And before we took after

1130
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 9: this is April third, Tetivity three, and the locale was

1131
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 9: the New York City instead of the New York And

1132
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:58,360
Speaker 9: the purpose of our call let's demonstrate to the world

1133
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 9: that it was possible to have the freedom that comes

1134
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 9: from being able to talk anywhere. And he placed on

1135
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 9: a personal phone. At the time, if you wanted to

1136
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 9: have a wired phone, there was only one way to

1137
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 9: get in the US, and that one's mini filmed the

1138
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 9: monopoly AT and T have. Their vision of the feature was,

1139
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:27,800
Speaker 9: won't believe it's car phone? Oh yeah, we did trapped

1140
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 9: in our houses in office by that wire for over

1141
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 9: one hundred years. And now to day a belt and

1142
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 9: created the first phone. And now they were going to

1143
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 9: trap it to Paris. Now that was ata we did.

1144
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 9: We go and we were trying to persuade the sec

1145
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:47,880
Speaker 9: that the first of all, there should be a monopoly.

1146
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 9: The second of all the time was really for personal

1147
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 9: all portable boats. Wow, pumpassing our demastation.

1148
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:00,760
Speaker 1: And so you were forty four years old, you stepped

1149
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:04,920
Speaker 1: outside onto sixth Avenue outside the New York Hilton, and

1150
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:05,880
Speaker 1: you made a call.

1151
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:10,600
Speaker 9: To who uh you won't from majors And it was

1152
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 9: very deg We were so worried about whether the forward

1153
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 9: work in the first place. I never thought about who

1154
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 9: I was going to call, and I was competently reported

1155
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 9: as too rich, and I uh decided to call my

1156
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 9: counterparts in the Bell system, someone that worked for at

1157
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:34,919
Speaker 9: T is say it to a ango, and Joe's role

1158
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 9: in at G was still shut up the Mary so

1159
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:44,080
Speaker 9: Car telephone system. Certainly we disagree with each other, and

1160
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 9: not that he thought about it very often because he

1161
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 9: was representing the biggest company in the world and there

1162
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 9: was just a little billion dollar company that she taught of.

1163
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 9: So I reached in my back pockets to my telephone

1164
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 9: books that must give you a message, what's up? Don't

1165
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 9: go the phone. I won't call them, and remarkably be

1166
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 9: after the phone out of Secretary Joel Barnie Cooper. If

1167
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 9: I'm right, true, I'm calling you, Joe. If I'm a

1168
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:27,600
Speaker 9: have he telephone, but a real help something on personal

1169
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 9: have hell portable cell phone, it's.

1170
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 5: I.

1171
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 9: It's ignored. But to this day Joe doesn't remember that call.

1172
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 9: He doesn't dispute it. I had it, but I really

1173
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 9: don't claim him.

1174
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 2: That's wild.

1175
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:49,960
Speaker 1: So you called your competition to say, look, I'm calling

1176
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 1: you from a phone that's going to work eventually anywhere,

1177
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 1: versus your phones that you were pushing that would be

1178
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 1: installed in cars. And of course I remember the first

1179
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 1: phones were installed in cars, and of course it was

1180
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 1: a bag phone. But you called this first phone a

1181
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 1: shoe phone.

1182
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 2: Why.

1183
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 9: Oh, actually we didn't call it the sea. It was

1184
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 9: xual sponsor to there remember that ut sponsors. I'm not

1185
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 9: going to tell you about You're obviously too young. But

1186
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 9: he was a comedian, uh uh later a secret at

1187
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:30,560
Speaker 9: and he had a telephone and the heel of a

1188
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 9: shoe and uh he actually called a phone of the

1189
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 9: brick because of all the brick way to found and

1190
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 9: it was shake pretty much like a brick. Uh, supe

1191
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 9: Max Spondent.

1192
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:53,240
Speaker 2: So, Marty, how old are you now? I'm not Afore

1193
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:57,920
Speaker 2: what do you make of what you've seen in the.

1194
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 1: History of the cell phone in your lifetime since you

1195
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 1: made this first call? I mean it has come so far.

1196
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 9: Well, first of all, you know, we were certain that

1197
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 9: the cell phone was going to be a big deal.

1198
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 9: We knew that everybody have one, So we told a

1199
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 9: story that some day when you're board, would designed the

1200
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:23,200
Speaker 9: phone number if you didn't answer the phone for them.

1201
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 9: We're pretty close to that. To return to the people,

1202
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 9: I don't have so phones, but uh we could never

1203
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:39,480
Speaker 9: have to addicted that then would be the Internet, digital cameras,

1204
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 9: a non scaling a greater circuit because none of those

1205
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 9: existed AD activities quite know. The marble at the tax

1206
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 9: you had a super computer you quote. I also marble

1207
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 9: at the fact we don't recognize that in the US

1208
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:05,479
Speaker 9: important things to the country. In Africa. It has helped

1209
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 9: take a billion people on the poverty in the last

1210
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:15,320
Speaker 9: five years. That's greatly important. So it's the only thing

1211
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 9: I have to believe. If they were always storied, it's revolution.

1212
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 9: We are about to rember, don't care. We're going to

1213
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:30,680
Speaker 9: release their education, the whole concept of collaboration. It's going

1214
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 9: to make a smaller efficient. It's so that we will

1215
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 9: ultimately eliminate poverty. So we're just at the beginning gift.

1216
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 9: I hope.

1217
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 2: So I hope that's Uh, that's something that happens.

1218
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:46,280
Speaker 1: It's funny because you you kind of expected when these

1219
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 1: phones were first coming out that they're going to be well,

1220
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:50,520
Speaker 1: you knew they were going to be expensive, and obviously

1221
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:52,920
Speaker 1: the first people to get them would be wealthier folks.

1222
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:56,000
Speaker 1: But you said the biggest users. According to this Wall

1223
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 1: Street Journal article which was in last week's journal, from

1224
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 1: the shoot phone to the smartphone, Uh, the first folks

1225
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 1: to buy these were real estate people because you know

1226
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 1: they could make money off of these phones. But now

1227
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:12,479
Speaker 1: obviously everyone pretty much has one here in the US.

1228
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 1: And addiction, cell phone addiction. I mean you go to

1229
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 1: a Starbucks, people are waiting in line. They're no longer

1230
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 1: talking to each other, they are looking at their phone.

1231
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 1: What do you make of things like TikTok and all

1232
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 1: of the addiction issues around cell phones.

1233
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:30,479
Speaker 9: Well, this is not a new phenomen of this. Every

1234
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 9: time you have a new technology, there's some baggage. Let's

1235
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 9: have the personal way that addicted you're also to the

1236
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:44,919
Speaker 9: I think community will be too young because by age,

1237
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:51,080
Speaker 9: everybody is too young. But uh, you think about it.

1238
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:56,840
Speaker 9: Maybe something months ago people were complaining about people of

1239
01:02:56,880 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 9: the teg addicted to television. Seriously, Yeah, people have a

1240
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 9: lot of people. Somehow society of the danage get over that.

1241
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:13,440
Speaker 9: I think they're gonna get over the cell phone addiction

1242
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 9: as well. It's a problem, but uh, people are smart.

1243
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 9: You have to have comedy. People will work it out,

1244
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:24,800
Speaker 9: and that's a benefits of cell phone.

1245
01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 1: Somebody definitely, Well they've certainly they've certainly made our lives

1246
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 1: more efficient, They've made a more interesting.

1247
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 16: Uh.

1248
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: People make a living off of their smartphones in so

1249
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 1: many different ways. Uh, Marty Cooper, author of Cutting the

1250
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 1: Cord The Cell Phone has Transformed Humanity. Thanks so much

1251
01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:45,880
Speaker 1: for joining me today. I really appreciate Do you still

1252
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 1: do you still carry a phone?

1253
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 2: At this point.

1254
01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 9: You're kidding, of course, committing this ton of the people

1255
01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 9: of cell Phones Center, But I actually have the two

1256
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 9: cell phones that I and when I travel over to

1257
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 9: eight in one in the US, most things I'd like

1258
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:10,000
Speaker 9: to play every different telephone in it. If you're a

1259
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 9: manufacturer and you come up with a new teacher that

1260
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 9: you always know, you could show one to Marty Cooper.

1261
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 9: I love it.

1262
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 2: Marty Cooper, thanks so much for joining me today. I

1263
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:20,439
Speaker 2: really appreciate it. Again.

1264
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:23,560
Speaker 1: The book is Cutting the Cord the Cell Phone has

1265
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 1: Transformed Humanity, available on Amazon.

1266
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 2: I mean, just so much history there.

1267
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I think of my short history of owning

1268
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:37,480
Speaker 1: cell phones and smartphones and to be there making one

1269
01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 1: of the first public calls. Triple eight rich one on

1270
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight seven four to two four one

1271
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 1: zero one. Give me a call on a cell phone

1272
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:49,320
Speaker 1: or a landline. You're listening to rich on Tech.

1273
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 2: Welcome back to rich on Tech.

1274
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:57,480
Speaker 1: My name is rich DeMuro, hanging out with you talking

1275
01:04:57,640 --> 01:05:03,160
Speaker 1: technology and thanks to the magic of technology keeping an

1276
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:06,000
Speaker 1: eye on my son's Little League game. How amazing is

1277
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 1: this the fact that we live in a world and

1278
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:13,840
Speaker 1: a time where Little League games are streamed online. And

1279
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 1: when they told me this, I sat there and I said,

1280
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 1: who needs that? I mean, okay, grandparents, people watching from

1281
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:24,920
Speaker 1: out of state, whatever. But now I see why it's

1282
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 1: right here in front of me and it's live. That's

1283
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:31,320
Speaker 1: pretty incredible. So got to love this stuff, you really do.

1284
01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 1: Phone lines are open at triple eight Rich one O

1285
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:37,560
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight seven four to two four.

1286
01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:41,840
Speaker 2: One zero one. Glenn is in Las Vegas. Glenn, You're

1287
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:43,800
Speaker 2: on with Rich Hi.

1288
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 5: Rich.

1289
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 14: When my wife is on the phone call in their

1290
01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:49,439
Speaker 14: home office.

1291
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 7: If I start up or car, it grabs the cell

1292
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:57,760
Speaker 7: signal and it won't let go until I'm like, you know,

1293
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 7: out of range. Yeah, it's a way to decrease the

1294
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 7: range from thirty feet to ten feet, or to be

1295
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 7: able to signal blocker or something not that I know of.

1296
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 1: This is a problem in my house as well. It's

1297
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:20,000
Speaker 1: really a problem because when my wife starts, well, when

1298
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 1: she starts my car and she's in it, somehow it's

1299
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:26,440
Speaker 1: grabbing my phone inside and so all the settings are

1300
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 1: for me and not her, and so this is a

1301
01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:33,280
Speaker 1: pain and I really don't have an answer. I think

1302
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 1: now there are some provisions inside the car to have

1303
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 1: what's called a priority device. In certain cars, you may

1304
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:43,360
Speaker 1: be able to look for that in the Bluetooth settings,

1305
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:47,560
Speaker 1: but that doesn't really help because it doesn't go by proximity.

1306
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 1: It just goes by If it sees both devices at

1307
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:53,240
Speaker 1: the same time, it'll choose the one that it says

1308
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 1: is priority.

1309
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:56,640
Speaker 2: But I don't really have an answer for you.

1310
01:06:56,800 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 1: And this is kind of a going to be a

1311
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 1: bigger and bigger issue, I think for a lot of

1312
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:02,960
Speaker 1: people because of these phones.

1313
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 2: So how do you get around it?

1314
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:05,280
Speaker 9: Now?

1315
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 1: What do you do?

1316
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 7: We haven't figured it out, and that's why I'm calling you.

1317
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 7: I was hoping that somebody would have a Bluetooth signal

1318
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:17,520
Speaker 7: blocker that wouldn't screw up Wi Fi signals, but apparently

1319
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:21,160
Speaker 7: they're similar enough that you screw up when you screwed

1320
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 7: up everything.

1321
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:23,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think that that and that kind of

1322
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:27,880
Speaker 1: thing would. It'd be kind of tricky to implement too,

1323
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:30,280
Speaker 1: because it's just so like where do you put it

1324
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 1: and how does that work? And you know, what's the

1325
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 1: provisions on it? But Glenn, I don't really have a

1326
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 1: good answer. Now, maybe by putting this on the show,

1327
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 1: someone will email in and say, here's what I do.

1328
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:44,440
Speaker 2: So I'll give my email address. It's hello at Rich

1329
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:45,479
Speaker 2: on tech dot TV.

1330
01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:49,479
Speaker 1: If you've figured out a way to keep your phone

1331
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 1: from connecting to your spouse's car, your partner's car, or

1332
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:56,600
Speaker 1: you know whatever, let us know, because it is a

1333
01:07:57,040 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 1: Every time I get into my car, I don't know

1334
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 1: why it chooses the wrong phone, Like it's just the

1335
01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:03,760
Speaker 1: it plays like the opposite game, Like if I'm getting

1336
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 1: in it's it's like, oh, let me pick Rich's wife's

1337
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:08,600
Speaker 1: car or a wife's phone in the house. And also

1338
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:11,120
Speaker 1: the phone is in the house, it's so far away,

1339
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:14,160
Speaker 1: like why is it choosing that over the phone that's

1340
01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:17,280
Speaker 1: right next to it. So maybe the next level, Glenn,

1341
01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:20,880
Speaker 1: will be a proximity sensor in these cars to say, hey,

1342
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:24,120
Speaker 1: we're measuring this bluetooth phone to be a foot away. Well,

1343
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:26,240
Speaker 1: that one's thirty feet let's let's connect to the one

1344
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:28,599
Speaker 1: that's a foot away. That would make more sense to me, right.

1345
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:32,439
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, although if if I'm not on my phone,

1346
01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:35,599
Speaker 7: it'll still grab then the only the only signal that's

1347
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:36,120
Speaker 7: coming through.

1348
01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, I mean the only. Yeah.

1349
01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:41,920
Speaker 1: I think you got to warn your wife when you

1350
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:44,160
Speaker 1: go to start the car and say, hey, turn off

1351
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:45,240
Speaker 1: the Bluetooth on your phone.

1352
01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:47,840
Speaker 2: I'm going to start the car. But that doesn't sound

1353
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 2: like a very good solution to me.

1354
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean turning it off and back on again

1355
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 7: is not a two second affair. No, especially when she's

1356
01:08:57,200 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 7: in the middle of a phone call.

1357
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:01,719
Speaker 1: No, that's definitely a pain. Well, if I find anything,

1358
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:03,320
Speaker 1: I will mention it on the show. But that's a

1359
01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:05,640
Speaker 1: great question and hopefully we get some answers. The other

1360
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:10,040
Speaker 1: problem I have is, for some reason, the cellular signal

1361
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:12,599
Speaker 1: right in front of my house. It's got the Wi

1362
01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:16,519
Speaker 1: Fi and the cellular compete, and so I can't get

1363
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:19,080
Speaker 1: anything to happen on my car until I drive down

1364
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 1: the street and it finally unlocks from my Wi Fi

1365
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 1: signal and gets on the cellular signal. I mean, it's

1366
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:26,960
Speaker 1: a whole big thing with these cars. I'm telling you,

1367
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:31,680
Speaker 1: we love this stuff, but yeah, it's tricky sometimes. All right,

1368
01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 1: let's go to Nancy and Santa Monica. Nancy, you're on

1369
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:36,920
Speaker 1: with Rich.

1370
01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:38,920
Speaker 3: Well, Hi, Rich.

1371
01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 16: My question is about Wi Fi for your home. We

1372
01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 16: have a three node links system and it's performing pretty well.

1373
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:55,880
Speaker 16: But when we went through some technical issues a short

1374
01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:59,400
Speaker 16: time back, it was suggested to me that we get

1375
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:04,280
Speaker 16: an another node which would become the main node and

1376
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:06,800
Speaker 16: with links as they call it, the parent you know,

1377
01:10:07,040 --> 01:10:11,880
Speaker 16: versus the other nodes or the child nodes, Except that

1378
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:15,840
Speaker 16: as I look at the parent node that they're suggesting,

1379
01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:19,920
Speaker 16: it indicates that it has a range of twenty seven

1380
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 16: one hundred square feet. Yeah, they say that, but the

1381
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:27,360
Speaker 16: one I have says it will do six thousand square

1382
01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:30,720
Speaker 16: feet and it is doing the coverage that we need.

1383
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:35,400
Speaker 16: I guess I'm wondering if I change out to this

1384
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:40,880
Speaker 16: new node, which supposedly has better security and performance, but

1385
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:44,559
Speaker 16: it's only twenty seven hundred in terms of its range,

1386
01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:49,120
Speaker 16: is it going to override the sixty six hundred that

1387
01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:53,280
Speaker 16: or the six thousand that I already have, or will

1388
01:10:53,439 --> 01:10:54,280
Speaker 16: will that stay?

1389
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:54,840
Speaker 9: Well?

1390
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:56,960
Speaker 2: Okay, so first off, what system do you have? You

1391
01:10:57,040 --> 01:10:57,679
Speaker 2: have a link SYS.

1392
01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:02,200
Speaker 16: What's it's I'm not sure how you say that? Velop

1393
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:05,840
Speaker 16: the LP and so AC sixty six.

1394
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:08,000
Speaker 2: Hundred and so why do you need the new one?

1395
01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:09,160
Speaker 2: What's what's not working?

1396
01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:09,920
Speaker 7: Well?

1397
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:17,600
Speaker 16: It they think that I that I need more security,

1398
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:20,880
Speaker 16: and I guess I'm not sure that that's really true.

1399
01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:24,559
Speaker 16: I mean, I'm not having anyone you know who.

1400
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:28,680
Speaker 1: Thinks that you need more security links this? I mean,

1401
01:11:28,720 --> 01:11:30,200
Speaker 1: are they do they call you to tell you this?

1402
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 9: How do you know?

1403
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:31,920
Speaker 5: Well?

1404
01:11:32,120 --> 01:11:34,960
Speaker 16: It was it was through the troubleshooting that we did

1405
01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:38,559
Speaker 16: with a problem that we had a couple months back

1406
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:43,280
Speaker 16: working well, the system just like crashed.

1407
01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:46,880
Speaker 2: It crashed, yeah, but but we.

1408
01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:48,880
Speaker 16: Were able to bring it all back. But you have

1409
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:53,679
Speaker 16: to go through this process of bringing up the parent

1410
01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:56,040
Speaker 16: node and then you have to bring all the child

1411
01:11:56,200 --> 01:11:59,200
Speaker 16: nodes next to the parent and okay, and you know,

1412
01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:01,599
Speaker 16: go through the of getting them all.

1413
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 1: Okay, So the coverage, the coverage that they're talking about

1414
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:09,320
Speaker 1: is six thousand square feet combined for this entire system.

1415
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 2: I don't think it's one node that's giving you six thousand.

1416
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:13,679
Speaker 2: So that's number one, okay, Okay.

1417
01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:17,879
Speaker 1: Number two? Is this system old? Is it not supported anymore?

1418
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:21,320
Speaker 1: It looks like it was first available in twenty nineteen,

1419
01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:23,680
Speaker 1: So are they is this kind of like out of

1420
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:25,639
Speaker 1: like they're not really supporting it much anymore?

1421
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:27,880
Speaker 16: Is that what I'm well, we were able to get

1422
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:31,280
Speaker 16: support for it in terms of, you know, help in

1423
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:35,080
Speaker 16: restarting it, and they're not telling us that we have

1424
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:37,559
Speaker 16: to throw away the nose that are part.

1425
01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:38,439
Speaker 8: Of what this is.

1426
01:12:39,080 --> 01:12:42,720
Speaker 16: It's just that they seem to think that, you know,

1427
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:49,400
Speaker 16: we'd have better security and better performance, okay with adding

1428
01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 16: this extra Okay.

1429
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:53,080
Speaker 2: So here's my thoughts on this.

1430
01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 1: Number One, if things are working the way you need

1431
01:12:55,080 --> 01:12:57,559
Speaker 1: them to and your software is up to date, then

1432
01:12:57,720 --> 01:12:59,519
Speaker 1: I think you're fine. I don't think you need to

1433
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:02,160
Speaker 1: change any thing. I think what they're talking about is

1434
01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:06,439
Speaker 1: the nodes themselves are six thousand across, the three of them,

1435
01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:09,240
Speaker 1: and so if you're getting this new node and you're

1436
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:11,840
Speaker 1: going to connect these two access points to it that

1437
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:14,080
Speaker 1: you already have or three, you can you know, maybe

1438
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:17,240
Speaker 1: use all three of them, right, You would just expand

1439
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:19,200
Speaker 1: your coverage that way. So if they work with the

1440
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 1: new system and you feel like you want to get

1441
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:24,799
Speaker 1: that and you want to improve security and improve coverage

1442
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:27,040
Speaker 1: and all that good stuff, and it's a newer system,

1443
01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 1: than go with it. Otherwise, if what you have is

1444
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:31,280
Speaker 1: working and your software is up to date, I think

1445
01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 1: you're just fine.

1446
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:35,439
Speaker 2: So that would be my advice. Nancy, thanks so much

1447
01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:36,160
Speaker 2: for give me a call.

1448
01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:39,120
Speaker 1: Triple eight rich one on one eight eight eight seven

1449
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:41,680
Speaker 1: four to two, four to one zero one. Coming up,

1450
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:44,559
Speaker 1: we'll talk about tap to pay and why some customers

1451
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:47,800
Speaker 1: are saying their credit cards are being charged even through

1452
01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:48,559
Speaker 1: their bags.

1453
01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 2: You're listening to rich on Tech.

1454
01:13:51,760 --> 01:13:55,160
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich On Tech. Phone lines are open

1455
01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:58,120
Speaker 1: at eight eight eight rich one O one eight eight

1456
01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:02,439
Speaker 1: eight seven four to two for one zero one. Don

1457
01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:04,479
Speaker 1: is in my home state of New Jersey.

1458
01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:07,960
Speaker 2: Don, you're on with rich Bitch.

1459
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:08,679
Speaker 14: Hollr you Bud.

1460
01:14:08,920 --> 01:14:09,679
Speaker 2: I'm doing great.

1461
01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:14,840
Speaker 14: I'm back in my backyard in Mammouth County, New Jersey,

1462
01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:18,720
Speaker 14: taking out grass in my pavers nice to fix the

1463
01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:23,639
Speaker 14: water the water problem with one of my sprinkler heads.

1464
01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:26,479
Speaker 14: And I'm listening and I have the answer for the

1465
01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:30,280
Speaker 14: gentleman that just called. I play tennis in the morning,

1466
01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:35,120
Speaker 14: early birds they call it. And I'll use next DNS

1467
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:38,320
Speaker 14: to take out some ads while I'm looking at threads

1468
01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:41,479
Speaker 14: and different things, so it's less ads to worry about, Okay,

1469
01:14:42,280 --> 01:14:46,680
Speaker 14: if I forget to turn off next dnx DNS, or

1470
01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:50,000
Speaker 14: you could use Google one if those that have a

1471
01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:54,000
Speaker 14: VPN any VPN that's left on will kill the connection.

1472
01:14:55,479 --> 01:14:57,439
Speaker 14: So if you put your phone on in your house

1473
01:14:57,720 --> 01:14:59,760
Speaker 14: with a VPN on it, it won't connect to your

1474
01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:02,800
Speaker 14: wife car or to your car while your wife using it.

1475
01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:04,639
Speaker 14: It blocks a signal.

1476
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:08,679
Speaker 2: Now that would be for Wi Fi, but not necessarily Bluetooth.

1477
01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:14,640
Speaker 14: Right, definitely Wi Fi. But one of the problems that

1478
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:19,679
Speaker 14: I get is the initial connection with Android auto starts

1479
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:23,400
Speaker 14: with Bluetooth, I believe, and then then then connects to

1480
01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:26,559
Speaker 14: the VP or to the Wi Fi if.

1481
01:15:26,479 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 13: You're if you're doing wireless, you mean maybe yeah, and

1482
01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:34,800
Speaker 13: I do a wireless connection with gongle, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1483
01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:36,800
Speaker 13: I mean I could see that's a good solution for

1484
01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:38,760
Speaker 13: the Wi Fi portion of it.

1485
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:41,800
Speaker 1: But the Bluetooth, I still think there's there's still an

1486
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:46,400
Speaker 1: unknown uh an unknown there, so we still got to

1487
01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:47,000
Speaker 1: figure that out.

1488
01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:51,880
Speaker 14: But well, you could do a routine in one of

1489
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:55,760
Speaker 14: I have routines on my Samsung phone because I have

1490
01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:59,439
Speaker 14: a Samsung Galaxy S twenty two Ultra. So if you

1491
01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:03,080
Speaker 14: did it when you connected to your car, because your

1492
01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:06,680
Speaker 14: car is one of your WiFi favorites, right, and then

1493
01:16:06,720 --> 01:16:08,959
Speaker 14: you could do a routine if it if it connects

1494
01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:12,360
Speaker 14: and but then again your inconvenience in yourself when you

1495
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:13,240
Speaker 14: connect it like that.

1496
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:17,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, those routines are handy though. Those Uh I used

1497
01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:19,599
Speaker 1: to I used to use an app called Tasker.

1498
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:20,360
Speaker 2: Have you ever heard of that?

1499
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:23,960
Speaker 14: Oh yeah, yeah, a little advanced. So yeah, I tried

1500
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:25,320
Speaker 14: it for a few things.

1501
01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:25,959
Speaker 2: Way advanced.

1502
01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:28,840
Speaker 1: So but I think I think Samsung did a really

1503
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:33,120
Speaker 1: good job of making it very simple with the routines

1504
01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:38,240
Speaker 1: in Bixby, and then iPhone has something similar, like they

1505
01:16:38,320 --> 01:16:41,839
Speaker 1: call them shortcuts, but they're not really the same because

1506
01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:43,599
Speaker 1: I guess it's similar.

1507
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:46,400
Speaker 2: It'll kind of run like a thing that you want

1508
01:16:46,439 --> 01:16:46,760
Speaker 2: it to do.

1509
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:50,320
Speaker 1: It never really took off because I feel like the

1510
01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:53,479
Speaker 1: iPhone user is not as you know, they're not as

1511
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:57,400
Speaker 1: into that they're the mainstream iPhone user, whereas Android users

1512
01:16:57,439 --> 01:17:00,120
Speaker 1: in the past. You know, they chose Android first and

1513
01:17:00,200 --> 01:17:01,880
Speaker 1: reason the fact that you can kind of tinker a

1514
01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:02,479
Speaker 1: little bit more.

1515
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:05,200
Speaker 14: You know, well, you can also mess with if this

1516
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:09,920
Speaker 14: then that and make it make a recipe an experiment

1517
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:11,800
Speaker 14: with that. So there's a couple of ways that he

1518
01:17:11,880 --> 01:17:13,439
Speaker 14: could try to mess with that.

1519
01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:17,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, now you're getting real. That's that's yeah, I mean.

1520
01:17:17,479 --> 01:17:20,000
Speaker 14: There's well, they're fun it's more or less like, if

1521
01:17:20,160 --> 01:17:25,519
Speaker 14: this happens, if this Bluetooth connected car connects at a

1522
01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:29,720
Speaker 14: certain time, maybe the wife leaves between six am and

1523
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:33,080
Speaker 14: eight am, then deny connection from that time, and then

1524
01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:36,200
Speaker 14: from eight oh one on allow the connection to happen.

1525
01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:38,400
Speaker 14: So you can make it a time based trigger.

1526
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:41,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that might work. I'm trying to think it.

1527
01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:43,560
Speaker 14: He always goes to work at a certain time, that

1528
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:44,240
Speaker 14: might work.

1529
01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:47,160
Speaker 1: Sounds like she was working from home and he was

1530
01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:51,200
Speaker 1: leaving and then that was our Yeah. I don't Yeah, well,

1531
01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:54,000
Speaker 1: it sounds like there's definitely uh, there might be some

1532
01:17:54,240 --> 01:17:56,200
Speaker 1: options out there, but I think with the Bluetooth it

1533
01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:58,200
Speaker 1: does become a little tricky. I wish I wish there

1534
01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:01,000
Speaker 1: was a way for the car to sort of identify

1535
01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:04,400
Speaker 1: or the card to have more options about which one

1536
01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:07,679
Speaker 1: it connected to when, because that would that would really

1537
01:18:07,760 --> 01:18:08,960
Speaker 1: solve a lot of these problems.

1538
01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 2: What's the what's the weather like in Jersey right.

1539
01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:15,800
Speaker 14: Now from me and Mammoth County. It's a little overcast,

1540
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:18,840
Speaker 14: supposed to rain later And are you listening.

1541
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:20,519
Speaker 2: On a radio station out there or is it through

1542
01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:21,360
Speaker 2: the iHeart app?

1543
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:25,160
Speaker 14: This is this is Eyewitness weather. This is Don I'm

1544
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:27,680
Speaker 14: looking up in this sky outside the awning over the

1545
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:31,479
Speaker 14: patio back here with half without grass, half with grass.

1546
01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:33,479
Speaker 2: Now I meant, how are you listening to the show?

1547
01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:35,800
Speaker 2: Is it streaming or through through?

1548
01:18:35,840 --> 01:18:37,559
Speaker 14: iHeartRadio headset?

1549
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 2: Awesome?

1550
01:18:38,760 --> 01:18:39,160
Speaker 7: I have a.

1551
01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:47,320
Speaker 14: Bluetooth headset. One quick question I was when you were

1552
01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:52,599
Speaker 14: talking about the the travel app? Was it a few

1553
01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:56,640
Speaker 14: a few shows ago where it was only on iPhone available?

1554
01:18:57,439 --> 01:18:59,519
Speaker 2: Yes? For the Traveling Flighty?

1555
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:04,800
Speaker 14: Flighty would would an emulator? Would an would a would

1556
01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:08,360
Speaker 14: an iOS emulator work on an Android phone where you

1557
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:11,720
Speaker 14: could fool the Android phone into being in an iPhone

1558
01:19:12,040 --> 01:19:15,400
Speaker 14: and use the app because it's only it's only iOS

1559
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:15,840
Speaker 14: right now.

1560
01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:20,280
Speaker 2: I have not tried that, but I would imagine if

1561
01:19:20,360 --> 01:19:21,360
Speaker 2: you had that event.

1562
01:19:21,400 --> 01:19:24,880
Speaker 14: Might be a workaround if those that want to try

1563
01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:27,719
Speaker 14: it that don't have an iPhone, you aren't as cool

1564
01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:29,360
Speaker 14: as the people that use Android.

1565
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:29,880
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1566
01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:32,120
Speaker 1: And I asked the developer, I said, you know, why

1567
01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:34,000
Speaker 1: aren't you coming out with Android? And he's just like,

1568
01:19:34,080 --> 01:19:36,200
Speaker 1: it's not a priority right now. But it is a

1569
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:38,400
Speaker 1: great app. But honestly, I would I think there's a

1570
01:19:38,479 --> 01:19:41,880
Speaker 1: lot of I mean, look, Flighty is really nice. It's

1571
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:43,439
Speaker 1: a great app. If you have iOS, but if you

1572
01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:46,599
Speaker 1: have Android, just use flight Aware. Also Google is pretty

1573
01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:48,960
Speaker 1: good about looking in your calendar and seeing when your

1574
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:51,200
Speaker 1: next flight is. So I get a lot of notifications

1575
01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:54,840
Speaker 1: on my Android just from having Google, and that's another

1576
01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:57,599
Speaker 1: good way. And then a ward wall is my absolute favorite.

1577
01:19:57,640 --> 01:19:59,800
Speaker 1: That gives me a lot of notifications as well. I mean,

1578
01:19:59,800 --> 01:20:03,000
Speaker 1: there's trip it, there's so many. Don all right, Don,

1579
01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:04,160
Speaker 1: thanks so much for calling today.

1580
01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:06,559
Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Say hello to my family in Jersey.

1581
01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:08,960
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, thank you, take care.

1582
01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:14,880
Speaker 1: Let's see we've got an email question from Kathy. Kathy

1583
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:17,679
Speaker 1: wrote in Hey, Rich, I love your show. I listen

1584
01:20:17,720 --> 01:20:23,440
Speaker 1: every Saturday. We're going to the island of Curasow in June. Reportedly,

1585
01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:26,479
Speaker 1: Spotify is available for streaming music while we are there.

1586
01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:28,240
Speaker 2: Do I need a VPN to do it? If so,

1587
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:33,840
Speaker 2: which one do you recommend? Kathy? Kathy, I don't think

1588
01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:38,519
Speaker 2: you need a VPN to stream Spotify. And also it

1589
01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:40,400
Speaker 2: depends number one.

1590
01:20:40,520 --> 01:20:43,799
Speaker 1: When I travel, I don't, I don't stream, I download,

1591
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:46,920
Speaker 1: So I if I were you, now you have to

1592
01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:50,040
Speaker 1: be a Spotify premium subscriber. You didn't say that in

1593
01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:52,479
Speaker 1: your email. If you're a Spotify premium or not. So

1594
01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:55,840
Speaker 1: if your premium, I would go ahead and just download

1595
01:20:56,080 --> 01:20:59,320
Speaker 1: the playlists that you want to listen to while you're

1596
01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:02,280
Speaker 1: on vacation, and I'm assuming that's going to be some

1597
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:03,519
Speaker 1: Island style music.

1598
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:04,360
Speaker 2: That's what I would do.

1599
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:08,400
Speaker 1: If that's not you know, if that's not an option

1600
01:21:08,560 --> 01:21:12,599
Speaker 1: to you and you're streaming, I believe it would work

1601
01:21:12,720 --> 01:21:15,640
Speaker 1: without a VPN, but maybe for a limited amount of

1602
01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:19,400
Speaker 1: time because you're not, you know, a paying subscriber. But

1603
01:21:19,640 --> 01:21:22,200
Speaker 1: pretty much the way that these systems work. I remember

1604
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:24,000
Speaker 1: back in the day, I had a problem when I

1605
01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:27,560
Speaker 1: went to Japan one time and I literally none of

1606
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:30,320
Speaker 1: my music would work the entire week when I was there.

1607
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:32,480
Speaker 2: I mean, this was like it was devastating.

1608
01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:35,519
Speaker 1: But things have gotten so kind of worldwide now that

1609
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:37,720
Speaker 1: most things work pretty much everywhere you want to go.

1610
01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:40,799
Speaker 1: But the way I would do it is just download

1611
01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:43,720
Speaker 1: the music that you want before you go, and then

1612
01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:46,160
Speaker 1: that way you're able to listen to it while you're there.

1613
01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:48,280
Speaker 1: You can turn on your Wi Fi and see if

1614
01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:50,160
Speaker 1: you're able to stream once you're there, and that way

1615
01:21:50,160 --> 01:21:53,720
Speaker 1: you'll have your answer if you need a VPN. I

1616
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:55,360
Speaker 1: would look into some of the things that you have.

1617
01:21:55,600 --> 01:21:58,559
Speaker 1: If you have Google one, they include a VPN. I've

1618
01:21:58,600 --> 01:22:03,320
Speaker 1: got an article on the best VPNs. So the expert

1619
01:22:03,439 --> 01:22:07,840
Speaker 1: I talked to recommended a VPN. What was it called,

1620
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:11,040
Speaker 1: like molvat, movad m U l l v A D

1621
01:22:12,200 --> 01:22:16,880
Speaker 1: also IPVN, surf Chark and tunnel Bear. We're also recommendations.

1622
01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:18,680
Speaker 1: So if you want to get one, you can do that,

1623
01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:21,080
Speaker 1: but I don't think you'll need it for this solution.

1624
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:24,720
Speaker 1: The other thing to do, Kathy, is just ditch Spotify

1625
01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:26,639
Speaker 1: for the week and go with some of the local music.

1626
01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:29,040
Speaker 1: Turn on a radio station. This is what I do

1627
01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:31,639
Speaker 1: when I go to a place like Hawaii. Just listen

1628
01:22:31,720 --> 01:22:34,719
Speaker 1: to the local stations. You get a little local, local

1629
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:37,080
Speaker 1: flare in your life there. That's what I would do.

1630
01:22:37,800 --> 01:22:38,639
Speaker 2: But do both.

1631
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:40,200
Speaker 1: You know you're gonna be on the plane. You're gonna

1632
01:22:40,200 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 1: watch your music there too, So download the Spotify playlists

1633
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:47,759
Speaker 1: and there you go. Coming up, we're gonna talk about

1634
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:52,080
Speaker 1: this idea of tap to pay. There's an there's an

1635
01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:55,439
Speaker 1: article that says some people are being charged for tap

1636
01:22:55,560 --> 01:23:01,080
Speaker 1: to pay even though they are not they're not using

1637
01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:03,360
Speaker 1: that card. Actually, I'll just tell you about this. Apparently

1638
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:06,080
Speaker 1: I have enough time. This is an article out of

1639
01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:11,200
Speaker 1: San Francisco KGO seven on your side. These people are

1640
01:23:11,240 --> 01:23:13,920
Speaker 1: saying that their tap to pay credit cards are being

1641
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:17,280
Speaker 1: activated even though they're in their purse or pocket. Now,

1642
01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:19,599
Speaker 1: if you would have told me this two weeks ago,

1643
01:23:19,640 --> 01:23:21,439
Speaker 1: I would have not believed it. I would have said

1644
01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:23,800
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen. But I will tell you this has

1645
01:23:23,840 --> 01:23:27,760
Speaker 1: happened to me twice in the last two weeks where

1646
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:29,000
Speaker 1: I took out my card.

1647
01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:30,599
Speaker 2: I was at Trader Joe's the other day.

1648
01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:33,000
Speaker 1: I literally just took my card out and put it

1649
01:23:33,439 --> 01:23:35,280
Speaker 1: just kind of in my hand, and all of a sudden,

1650
01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:38,559
Speaker 1: it beeped and it was done. Even the cashier at

1651
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:40,760
Speaker 1: Trader Joe's was like, Wow, that was really far away.

1652
01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:42,760
Speaker 1: What do you have like a supercharged card? I said, no,

1653
01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:45,519
Speaker 1: I've never seen that happen before. And it happened again

1654
01:23:45,560 --> 01:23:48,240
Speaker 1: another time. So I don't know if I believe that

1655
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:52,920
Speaker 1: these things are being activated. One viewer said, Matthews checked

1656
01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:55,280
Speaker 1: his bank accounts. Turned out the tap to pay card

1657
01:23:55,320 --> 01:23:58,400
Speaker 1: reader at Safeway ignored the debit card in his hand. Instead,

1658
01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:01,280
Speaker 1: it reached into Matthew's back pocket, through his wallet and

1659
01:24:01,400 --> 01:24:03,879
Speaker 1: charged his bank of America credit card tucked inside.

1660
01:24:04,240 --> 01:24:05,800
Speaker 2: Now that seems a little elaborate.

1661
01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:10,560
Speaker 1: You're telling me this ore, This NFC chip radio frequency

1662
01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:14,120
Speaker 1: went through his wallet in his back pocket. I don't

1663
01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:17,679
Speaker 1: know if I believe that, but the reality is, yes,

1664
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:20,680
Speaker 1: tap to pay. I think it works most of the

1665
01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:23,680
Speaker 1: time pretty well. And I don't think that this is

1666
01:24:23,720 --> 01:24:25,040
Speaker 1: happening in a big way to people.

1667
01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:25,640
Speaker 2: But let me know.

1668
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:28,200
Speaker 1: Hello at richon Tech dot TV. Tell me if you've

1669
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:33,000
Speaker 1: gotten a surprise charge because of this. Now, by the way,

1670
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:34,439
Speaker 1: if you're using a debit card, it's going to ask

1671
01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:36,439
Speaker 1: for your debit card number or your PIN number. Most

1672
01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:38,559
Speaker 1: of the time, Visa says you have to be two

1673
01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:41,000
Speaker 1: inches from the reader. And if you want something that

1674
01:24:41,120 --> 01:24:45,000
Speaker 1: protects look for an RFID protection wallet. Silent pocket makes

Speaker 1: go to Rich on tech dot TV. Apple has a

1690
01:25:38,320 --> 01:25:42,400
Speaker 1: new high yield savings account. Now this is not a

1691
01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:47,040
Speaker 1: financial advice show, but I feel like this is It's

1692
01:25:47,120 --> 01:25:49,439
Speaker 1: like everything with Apple. They just continue to get into

1693
01:25:49,680 --> 01:25:55,960
Speaker 1: more areas. Apple got into the financial services area with

1694
01:25:56,160 --> 01:25:59,479
Speaker 1: their credit card a couple of years back. People seem

1695
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:03,960
Speaker 1: to love it it. I do not have one, But

1696
01:26:04,120 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 1: now they are doing a high yield savings account and

1697
01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:10,640
Speaker 1: this is kind of put some people on on. Uh

1698
01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:15,519
Speaker 1: what's the term I'm looking for. I don't know, but

1699
01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:18,479
Speaker 1: people are now noticing that, you know this is this

1700
01:26:18,680 --> 01:26:24,360
Speaker 1: is offering four point one five interest, which is pretty good.

1701
01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:28,479
Speaker 1: Apple says that's more than ten times the national average.

1702
01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:31,640
Speaker 1: Now that's a little misleading, because, yeah, the national averages

1703
01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:34,559
Speaker 1: includes banks like Chase and Bank of America who don't

1704
01:26:34,640 --> 01:26:37,800
Speaker 1: really pay anything. But there's a lot of online banks

1705
01:26:37,840 --> 01:26:40,240
Speaker 1: that do pay a lot more than than the you know,

1706
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:44,840
Speaker 1: one percent or whatever. So no fees, no minimum deposits,

1707
01:26:44,960 --> 01:26:48,040
Speaker 1: no minimum balance requirements. You can set it up on

1708
01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:48,839
Speaker 1: your iPhone.

1709
01:26:48,880 --> 01:26:49,320
Speaker 5: You have to.

1710
01:26:49,479 --> 01:26:51,840
Speaker 1: Here's the deal. You have to have an iPhone to

1711
01:26:51,880 --> 01:26:54,840
Speaker 1: get this savings account. You also have to have a

1712
01:26:54,960 --> 01:26:57,439
Speaker 1: credit card, the Apple credit card. They don't call it

1713
01:26:57,439 --> 01:26:59,760
Speaker 1: a credit card, they call it the Apple card. They

1714
01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:02,599
Speaker 1: don't want to put that dirty credit word in there,

1715
01:27:03,080 --> 01:27:05,200
Speaker 1: but yes, it's a credit card. Apple Card is a

1716
01:27:05,240 --> 01:27:09,479
Speaker 1: credit card. Once you do that, you can get your

1717
01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:13,439
Speaker 1: daily cash reward. So if you use your Apple credit

1718
01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:16,640
Speaker 1: card to pay for stuff, you get a tiny bit

1719
01:27:16,680 --> 01:27:19,120
Speaker 1: of cash back, and you can now have that cash

1720
01:27:19,200 --> 01:27:22,599
Speaker 1: back deposited into this savings account so it will grow interest.

1721
01:27:23,320 --> 01:27:27,519
Speaker 1: Now I'm not a financial advice person, but I will

1722
01:27:27,600 --> 01:27:31,000
Speaker 1: just give you my thoughts on this. I'm not getting

1723
01:27:31,160 --> 01:27:34,400
Speaker 1: a savings account that a requires an iPhone to have

1724
01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:38,640
Speaker 1: and b requires a credit card to have. Those are

1725
01:27:38,720 --> 01:27:41,960
Speaker 1: just two things that are not I just I'm not

1726
01:27:42,160 --> 01:27:45,880
Speaker 1: linking my account to having a certain type of phone

1727
01:27:46,160 --> 01:27:47,280
Speaker 1: or a certain type of credit card.

1728
01:27:47,360 --> 01:27:48,200
Speaker 2: That's just not happening.

1729
01:27:48,840 --> 01:27:53,680
Speaker 1: So with that said, if you want to get a

1730
01:27:54,160 --> 01:27:58,280
Speaker 1: high yield savings account like this, there are many other

1731
01:27:58,439 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 1: accounts that you can look up online that will give

1732
01:28:01,120 --> 01:28:05,360
Speaker 1: you similar interests that don't have all of these catches.

1733
01:28:06,040 --> 01:28:09,680
Speaker 1: According to MarketWatch, they say, CIT Bank gives you four

1734
01:28:09,720 --> 01:28:14,040
Speaker 1: point seventy five percent. BREAD Savings pays four point five upgrade,

1735
01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:16,840
Speaker 1: Premier Savings gives you four point five six uf B

1736
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:20,759
Speaker 1: Premier Savings gives you four point eight one percent. CFG

1737
01:28:20,960 --> 01:28:24,479
Speaker 1: bank is giving five point oh two percent. Wow, that's

1738
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:25,479
Speaker 1: pretty good.

1739
01:28:26,320 --> 01:28:26,479
Speaker 9: Now.

1740
01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:29,200
Speaker 1: The thing about a lot of these high yield savings

1741
01:28:29,240 --> 01:28:33,840
Speaker 1: accounts is that they require a whole bunch of things. Okay,

1742
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:38,080
Speaker 1: so with this CFG, to get that five point zero

1743
01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:40,080
Speaker 1: two you have to have an initial deposit of ten

1744
01:28:40,520 --> 01:28:44,280
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars and maintain ten I don't keep saying

1745
01:28:44,280 --> 01:28:47,000
Speaker 1: ten thousand, one thousand dollars or you're gonna get a

1746
01:28:47,040 --> 01:28:50,439
Speaker 1: ten dollars monthly service fee. So I guess my bottom

1747
01:28:50,520 --> 01:28:53,080
Speaker 1: line is that if you're looking to get one of

1748
01:28:53,120 --> 01:28:56,160
Speaker 1: these accounts, to try to find one that does not

1749
01:28:56,439 --> 01:28:59,280
Speaker 1: have any sort of minimum and does not have any

1750
01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:02,080
Speaker 1: sort of fee, because you may say, oh, I've got

1751
01:29:02,120 --> 01:29:04,280
Speaker 1: the thousand bucks right now, I'll put that in there,

1752
01:29:04,320 --> 01:29:07,439
Speaker 1: and you know, life happens and things change and you

1753
01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:09,320
Speaker 1: may not have that thousand in there, and next thing

1754
01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:11,600
Speaker 1: you know, you're getting a ten dollars service fee, and

1755
01:29:11,920 --> 01:29:14,400
Speaker 1: over ten months that's one hundred bucks, and there goes

1756
01:29:14,439 --> 01:29:18,080
Speaker 1: all of your interests that you're getting. So I love

1757
01:29:18,479 --> 01:29:22,240
Speaker 1: savings accounts. I love saving money, but I look, if

1758
01:29:22,280 --> 01:29:24,599
Speaker 1: you have an iPhone and you've got the Apple credit card,

1759
01:29:25,600 --> 01:29:29,760
Speaker 1: you know, fine, but it's it sounds really good, but

1760
01:29:29,840 --> 01:29:32,760
Speaker 1: there are some catches, even though Apple says and also,

1761
01:29:32,880 --> 01:29:35,519
Speaker 1: I mean this money that you're getting from the daily cash,

1762
01:29:36,240 --> 01:29:38,160
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, it's one, two or three percent.

1763
01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:42,479
Speaker 1: How much are you transferring into this savings account because

1764
01:29:42,520 --> 01:29:44,680
Speaker 1: of that? I mean, if you're saving money based on

1765
01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:48,000
Speaker 1: spending money, that's a little little.

1766
01:29:48,320 --> 01:29:50,439
Speaker 2: Kind of odd to me. But who what do I know.

1767
01:29:50,520 --> 01:29:55,479
Speaker 1: I'm a tech person, not a financial person. Polestar four

1768
01:29:55,880 --> 01:29:59,879
Speaker 1: this is uh probably one of my favorite evs. Pollstar

1769
01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:04,480
Speaker 1: is owned by Volvo. I did a story on the Polestar.

1770
01:30:05,720 --> 01:30:05,880
Speaker 6: Two.

1771
01:30:06,120 --> 01:30:08,439
Speaker 1: Was it or the Polestar one? I can't remember at

1772
01:30:08,439 --> 01:30:14,240
Speaker 1: this point. Really really nice looking ev beautiful design. Now

1773
01:30:14,280 --> 01:30:16,760
Speaker 1: they've got the Polestar four, which is sort of a

1774
01:30:16,920 --> 01:30:21,120
Speaker 1: compact suv suv coop they call it. It's got no

1775
01:30:21,240 --> 01:30:24,760
Speaker 1: rear window. That's right, no rear window. Now there's not

1776
01:30:24,840 --> 01:30:28,520
Speaker 1: an open air part of this car. It is enclosed.

1777
01:30:29,120 --> 01:30:33,240
Speaker 1: But basically it's got the roof window which comes down

1778
01:30:33,360 --> 01:30:37,280
Speaker 1: and that's it. No traditional back window. And so Polestar

1779
01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:40,960
Speaker 1: says that they did this because they wanted to be unique.

1780
01:30:41,920 --> 01:30:45,640
Speaker 1: It also, I guess makes the car more aerodynamic. And

1781
01:30:46,479 --> 01:30:48,680
Speaker 1: they said, why do we need a rearview window? Why

1782
01:30:48,760 --> 01:30:50,599
Speaker 1: do we need it when people are looking at their

1783
01:30:50,640 --> 01:30:53,880
Speaker 1: cameras all the time. And so the rear view mirror

1784
01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:58,599
Speaker 1: is actually a video feed of a roof mounted rear

1785
01:30:58,720 --> 01:31:03,040
Speaker 1: camera and it gives a nice big view. And so

1786
01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:06,680
Speaker 1: I've seen this before in cars where the rear view

1787
01:31:06,680 --> 01:31:09,720
Speaker 1: mirror is a video feed. The difference is that you

1788
01:31:09,760 --> 01:31:12,160
Speaker 1: would flip a switch and it would become a traditional mirror,

1789
01:31:12,240 --> 01:31:14,800
Speaker 1: like on the Chevy Bolt one is a is a

1790
01:31:15,240 --> 01:31:17,640
Speaker 1: you know, a camera feed and then you flip the

1791
01:31:17,680 --> 01:31:19,599
Speaker 1: little you know, how you have that like light dark

1792
01:31:19,840 --> 01:31:22,280
Speaker 1: switch on the rear view mirror will instead of a

1793
01:31:22,400 --> 01:31:24,720
Speaker 1: light dark kind of thing night day kind of thing.

1794
01:31:25,320 --> 01:31:28,040
Speaker 1: It switches to the camera or to an actual mirror.

1795
01:31:28,840 --> 01:31:33,679
Speaker 1: So the uh Pollstar designers told Wired that it creates

1796
01:31:33,720 --> 01:31:38,679
Speaker 1: a cocoon for the backseat passengers. I also like this feature.

1797
01:31:38,760 --> 01:31:43,840
Speaker 1: The rooftop glass is electrochromic, so which means it's kind

1798
01:31:43,840 --> 01:31:45,400
Speaker 1: of like those windows if you've ever been on one

1799
01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:47,599
Speaker 1: of the new planes. They don't have the shades anymore.

1800
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:50,840
Speaker 1: The windows are electronic, and so you press a button

1801
01:31:51,000 --> 01:31:55,360
Speaker 1: to actually close the shade, and it's not a shade,

1802
01:31:55,360 --> 01:31:59,080
Speaker 1: it's just like electronic, almost like an LCD liquid display

1803
01:31:59,680 --> 01:32:00,120
Speaker 1: that just.

1804
01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:05,439
Speaker 2: Goes into the window. Very cool stuff. All right, Coming up,

1805
01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:07,840
Speaker 2: we're going to talk to David Kaff of tech Talk.

1806
01:32:08,360 --> 01:32:10,400
Speaker 1: He's going to tell us how to remove our personal

1807
01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:14,080
Speaker 1: information from the Internet. Very important stuff. If you want

1808
01:32:14,120 --> 01:32:15,240

01:32:22,600 --> 01:32:27,160
Speaker 1: back to rich On Tech rich Demiro here talking technology

1812
01:32:27,520 --> 01:32:31,879
Speaker 1: with you. Have you ever done a Google search on yourself?

1813
01:32:31,920 --> 01:32:34,920
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen how much information is out there

1814
01:32:35,080 --> 01:32:39,320
Speaker 1: on the Internet about you? This week Google emailed me

1815
01:32:39,520 --> 01:32:42,439
Speaker 1: and said that I've got this new feature called Dark

1816
01:32:42,520 --> 01:32:46,640
Speaker 1: Web monitoring, So it looks for my personal information on

1817
01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:50,400
Speaker 1: the dark Web and maybe on the web at large.

1818
01:32:51,400 --> 01:32:54,519
Speaker 1: And it's just eye opening. How much is out there.

1819
01:32:54,560 --> 01:32:59,360
Speaker 1: I mean, everything is out there, and it's it's pretty incredible.

1820
01:33:00,200 --> 01:33:03,200
Speaker 1: Joining me now is David Coff. He writes a newsletter

1821
01:33:03,360 --> 01:33:08,320
Speaker 1: at www dot technology Talk dot net, and he wrote

1822
01:33:08,320 --> 01:33:13,599
Speaker 1: an interesting newsletter this week about getting personal information off

1823
01:33:13,840 --> 01:33:15,720
Speaker 1: the Internet and why you should do this.

1824
01:33:16,400 --> 01:33:17,640
Speaker 2: David, thanks so much for joining me.

1825
01:33:18,400 --> 01:33:20,040
Speaker 5: Thank you for having me pleasure to be here.

1826
01:33:20,479 --> 01:33:24,760
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's talk about this PII. What does that

1827
01:33:24,920 --> 01:33:25,320
Speaker 1: stand for?

1828
01:33:26,479 --> 01:33:33,760
Speaker 5: Personally identifiable information? This is a shorthand acronyms. Some technology

1829
01:33:33,800 --> 01:33:36,720
Speaker 5: folks love their acronyms. Just think of it as any

1830
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:40,880
Speaker 5: private or personal information you wouldn't want strangers to know.

1831
01:33:41,080 --> 01:33:44,280
Speaker 5: This can be your phone numbers, your email addresses, your

1832
01:33:44,439 --> 01:33:46,760
Speaker 5: physical mailing addresses and more.

1833
01:33:47,920 --> 01:33:49,880
Speaker 1: And this stuff is out there. How does it get

1834
01:33:50,280 --> 01:33:51,760
Speaker 1: on the Internet? And I'm just going to ask you

1835
01:33:52,120 --> 01:33:54,720
Speaker 1: if you can talk right into your phone, bes I'm

1836
01:33:55,040 --> 01:33:56,040
Speaker 1: having some trouble hearing you.

1837
01:33:56,880 --> 01:34:00,840
Speaker 5: I've got my earbuds in. We'll speak a little bit

1838
01:34:00,920 --> 01:34:01,559
Speaker 5: louder out.

1839
01:34:01,439 --> 01:34:04,040
Speaker 2: Of that perfect So tell me, how does this stuff

1840
01:34:04,040 --> 01:34:04,519
Speaker 2: get out there.

1841
01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:12,720
Speaker 5: Over time, data brokers collect your information based on harvesting

1842
01:34:12,880 --> 01:34:16,000
Speaker 5: publicly available information about you. And if you think about

1843
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:19,200
Speaker 5: all the things that you do. You own a cell phone,

1844
01:34:19,320 --> 01:34:22,840
Speaker 5: you make phone calls, you have credit cards, you make purchases,

1845
01:34:23,200 --> 01:34:27,799
Speaker 5: you register to vote, you sign up for local, state,

1846
01:34:27,960 --> 01:34:33,480
Speaker 5: and federal elections. That information, in many cases.

1847
01:34:33,240 --> 01:34:34,400
Speaker 14: Is publicly available.

1848
01:34:35,280 --> 01:34:38,200
Speaker 5: What is int publicly available can be purchased from a

1849
01:34:38,320 --> 01:34:40,600
Speaker 5: variety of what I like to call feeder companies, so

1850
01:34:40,920 --> 01:34:45,080
Speaker 5: social media technology companies. You go online, you're leaving a

1851
01:34:45,120 --> 01:34:49,160
Speaker 5: digital trail. This information gets collected and harvested by companies

1852
01:34:49,240 --> 01:34:53,000
Speaker 5: known as data brokers, and then they sell that information

1853
01:34:53,800 --> 01:34:58,639
Speaker 5: and boy is it accurate. So over time, both public

1854
01:34:58,720 --> 01:35:04,360
Speaker 5: and private databases get collected, and a doctu about each

1855
01:35:04,439 --> 01:35:08,160
Speaker 5: and every one of us gets formed with an awful

1856
01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:12,519
Speaker 5: lot of information, including our credit histories in many examples.

1857
01:35:12,920 --> 01:35:16,120
Speaker 1: Now that's just the legitimate sources where these companies are

1858
01:35:16,160 --> 01:35:18,880
Speaker 1: going out and finding this stuff and putting it together.

1859
01:35:19,040 --> 01:35:20,639
Speaker 1: And if you know, you can just do a search

1860
01:35:20,760 --> 01:35:22,760
Speaker 1: like for a people finder, and there's all kinds of

1861
01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:25,519
Speaker 1: websites that pop up. But then there's also the stuff

1862
01:35:25,560 --> 01:35:27,679
Speaker 1: like I was just talking about like where it gets

1863
01:35:27,800 --> 01:35:31,439
Speaker 1: leaked online, like where there's a some sort of data

1864
01:35:31,520 --> 01:35:34,559
Speaker 1: breach and that information finds its way onto the internet

1865
01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:38,120
Speaker 1: as well. So let's talk about some of these ways

1866
01:35:38,479 --> 01:35:41,960
Speaker 1: you went down sort of this kind of trail of

1867
01:35:42,120 --> 01:35:44,320
Speaker 1: figuring out how to get this stuff off the internet.

1868
01:35:44,479 --> 01:35:47,679
Speaker 1: What's your number one kind of DIY solution?

1869
01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:53,479
Speaker 6: First off, So there are people who have taken an

1870
01:35:53,600 --> 01:36:00,519
Speaker 6: extremely detailed approach to this, and you can, and I

1871
01:36:00,920 --> 01:36:04,160
Speaker 6: have a list of instructions on my website.

1872
01:36:04,760 --> 01:36:09,519
Speaker 5: You can go through contact twenty to thirty largest data

1873
01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:13,879
Speaker 5: brokers on your own. You can make a written request.

1874
01:36:14,800 --> 01:36:17,040
Speaker 5: You can point to the link on their website that

1875
01:36:17,120 --> 01:36:20,040
Speaker 5: has your information, let them know that they do not

1876
01:36:20,200 --> 01:36:23,720
Speaker 5: have your permission to do it, and you read need

1877
01:36:23,800 --> 01:36:26,920
Speaker 5: to give them anywhere from seven to twenty eight days

1878
01:36:27,200 --> 01:36:31,200
Speaker 5: to scrub your data. They may ask for additional information

1879
01:36:31,280 --> 01:36:33,920
Speaker 5: about you, an ID or something to prove that you

1880
01:36:34,040 --> 01:36:36,200
Speaker 5: are who you are. But you can totally do this

1881
01:36:36,520 --> 01:36:40,120
Speaker 5: on your own. There are other ways of doing it though,

1882
01:36:40,240 --> 01:36:43,880
Speaker 5: for those that don't have the approximately fifteen to thirty

1883
01:36:43,960 --> 01:36:46,200
Speaker 5: hours of time that you're going to want to invest

1884
01:36:46,280 --> 01:36:46,880
Speaker 5: in doing this.

1885
01:36:47,160 --> 01:36:50,640
Speaker 1: Now, I did this myself so I went through and

1886
01:36:50,760 --> 01:36:53,640
Speaker 1: I did it for maybe the top five companies or so,

1887
01:36:54,360 --> 01:36:56,920
Speaker 1: and it is. It does work. It does take time,

1888
01:36:57,360 --> 01:37:00,000
Speaker 1: but you do have to find someone with instructions online.

1889
01:37:00,400 --> 01:37:04,120
Speaker 1: I believe I use the website that you talked about.

1890
01:37:04,120 --> 01:37:06,080
Speaker 1: I think it's like delete me or is it just

1891
01:37:06,200 --> 01:37:06,600
Speaker 1: delete me?

1892
01:37:07,520 --> 01:37:10,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, So there are for a small fee. There are

1893
01:37:10,360 --> 01:37:12,600
Speaker 5: certain companies to those who don't want to do it

1894
01:37:12,680 --> 01:37:14,400
Speaker 5: on your own, and I want to emphasize to your

1895
01:37:14,439 --> 01:37:18,120
Speaker 5: listeners you can totally do this for free on your own.

1896
01:37:18,360 --> 01:37:21,240
Speaker 5: You're just investing your time. For those that wish to

1897
01:37:21,400 --> 01:37:25,040
Speaker 5: invest somewhere between five and six dollars a month. There

1898
01:37:25,080 --> 01:37:28,280
Speaker 5: are two companies that I personally use. The first, which

1899
01:37:28,320 --> 01:37:32,479
Speaker 5: I prefer as a company called delete me and you

1900
01:37:32,640 --> 01:37:36,400
Speaker 5: will with delete me, and the second top choice that

1901
01:37:36,479 --> 01:37:40,160
Speaker 5: I use, which is called Incogniti, which is short for incognito.

1902
01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:42,840
Speaker 5: You're going to let these folks know who you are.

1903
01:37:42,920 --> 01:37:45,760
Speaker 5: You're going to need to provide them with your name,

1904
01:37:45,920 --> 01:37:49,719
Speaker 5: your phone number, your addresses, your previous residences, any previous

1905
01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:52,719
Speaker 5: emails and phone numbers that may be a red flag

1906
01:37:52,800 --> 01:37:54,560
Speaker 5: for some of your listeners. I want to make this

1907
01:37:54,880 --> 01:37:59,800
Speaker 5: clear because it's important that data is already publicly available.

1908
01:38:00,560 --> 01:38:04,479
Speaker 5: It's available on any one of your credit reports. So

1909
01:38:04,720 --> 01:38:07,160
Speaker 5: it's to your best interest if you're hiring a company

1910
01:38:07,200 --> 01:38:10,080
Speaker 5: to help you scrub your data, be upfront with them

1911
01:38:10,120 --> 01:38:13,960
Speaker 5: about any of your personal information currently and in the past.

1912
01:38:14,080 --> 01:38:17,000
Speaker 5: That will enable them to go and target you and

1913
01:38:17,160 --> 01:38:20,400
Speaker 5: scrub you from every major and minor data broker and

1914
01:38:20,840 --> 01:38:21,840
Speaker 5: public databases.

1915
01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:27,280
Speaker 1: Now, what's this app from Consumer Reports? I was not

1916
01:38:27,360 --> 01:38:29,400
Speaker 1: aware of this app that you mentioned in your newsletter

1917
01:38:29,520 --> 01:38:33,240
Speaker 1: at Technology Talk dot net episode eighty seven.

1918
01:38:33,360 --> 01:38:37,000
Speaker 2: By the way, what is this app? It's called let's

1919
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:39,439
Speaker 2: see where is it called Permission Slips? Okay, so what

1920
01:38:39,520 --> 01:38:39,920
Speaker 2: does that do?

1921
01:38:40,760 --> 01:38:41,760
Speaker 6: So for the record, I.

1922
01:38:41,880 --> 01:38:44,160
Speaker 5: Hadn't been aware of it either. One of my readers

1923
01:38:44,280 --> 01:38:47,320
Speaker 5: on my newsletter wrote to me and said, hey, are

1924
01:38:47,320 --> 01:38:50,000
Speaker 5: you familiar with this? It's from the great Consumer Reports?

1925
01:38:50,120 --> 01:38:52,800
Speaker 5: And most people know Consumer Reports is they've been around

1926
01:38:52,840 --> 01:38:56,920
Speaker 5: for decades testing on behalf of consumers so that you

1927
01:38:57,000 --> 01:38:59,920
Speaker 5: know which products are better than others. Well, they've created

1928
01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:04,360
Speaker 5: this free application for iOS and Android. It's called Permission Slip,

1929
01:39:05,400 --> 01:39:08,160
Speaker 5: and they do something that I would recommend that everyone

1930
01:39:08,360 --> 01:39:12,280
Speaker 5: do in addition to scrubbing their own data. They specifically

1931
01:39:12,360 --> 01:39:17,160
Speaker 5: scrub data from commercial websites. So, for example, I had

1932
01:39:17,840 --> 01:39:22,160
Speaker 5: a subscription to the Los Angeles Times, I had a

1933
01:39:22,240 --> 01:39:26,840
Speaker 5: purchase history and account with Guitar Center. When looking for jobs,

1934
01:39:26,920 --> 01:39:30,000
Speaker 5: I had an account on a website called.

1935
01:39:29,880 --> 01:39:31,880
Speaker 8: Zip Recruiter, on and on and on.

1936
01:39:32,200 --> 01:39:36,120
Speaker 5: And what permission slip does is instead of targeting public

1937
01:39:36,439 --> 01:39:41,760
Speaker 5: and private databases, it works with different companies that may

1938
01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:45,639
Speaker 5: have your information and basically does the same thing. Invites

1939
01:39:45,760 --> 01:39:48,080
Speaker 5: those people to know you don't want them to have

1940
01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:51,760
Speaker 5: their information, and they will help be the middleman to

1941
01:39:51,880 --> 01:39:54,920
Speaker 5: scrub your data from all of these commercial websites. And

1942
01:39:55,000 --> 01:39:59,160
Speaker 5: there are somewhere between thirty and seventy websites that permission

1943
01:39:59,240 --> 01:40:01,280
Speaker 5: slip I will help you scrub your data from.

1944
01:40:02,240 --> 01:40:04,240
Speaker 1: Very cool. So what did you learn in all this?

1945
01:40:04,760 --> 01:40:06,679
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you got to a good place

1946
01:40:06,760 --> 01:40:08,640
Speaker 1: with your personal data online or what?

1947
01:40:09,439 --> 01:40:09,639
Speaker 8: Yeah?

1948
01:40:09,720 --> 01:40:12,080
Speaker 5: I learned two things that's I think a good question.

1949
01:40:12,200 --> 01:40:16,479
Speaker 5: The first is anyone can do this and should. The

1950
01:40:16,640 --> 01:40:19,679
Speaker 5: second thing, which I think is worth sharing and maybe

1951
01:40:19,920 --> 01:40:22,240
Speaker 5: a little bit scary, is that this is something that

1952
01:40:22,400 --> 01:40:24,880
Speaker 5: needs to be done fairly regularly. And you were just

1953
01:40:25,040 --> 01:40:29,519
Speaker 5: saying there any number of data breaches websites get hacked,

1954
01:40:29,640 --> 01:40:35,560
Speaker 5: companies get hacked, credit unions get hacked. So when Equifax

1955
01:40:35,760 --> 01:40:40,000
Speaker 5: got hacked, hundreds of millions of Americans, so the personal

1956
01:40:40,120 --> 01:40:42,720
Speaker 5: data leaked under the dark web. This is something that

1957
01:40:42,800 --> 01:40:45,719
Speaker 5: you should be doing regularly, whether you do it yourself

1958
01:40:45,920 --> 01:40:48,559
Speaker 5: or whether you pay someone else to do it. Really

1959
01:40:48,680 --> 01:40:51,560
Speaker 5: is something that should become a monthly or at the

1960
01:40:51,680 --> 01:40:53,960
Speaker 5: very least a yearly part of what I like to

1961
01:40:54,040 --> 01:40:55,120
Speaker 5: call your digital.

1962
01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:59,040
Speaker 2: Hygieneugh monthly or yearly. I was lucky to do it

1963
01:40:59,200 --> 01:40:59,840
Speaker 2: once speak.

1964
01:41:00,240 --> 01:41:02,679
Speaker 1: It is a lot of work, but it does feel

1965
01:41:02,760 --> 01:41:05,680
Speaker 1: good when you start doing those Google searches and you

1966
01:41:05,800 --> 01:41:08,120
Speaker 1: are able to remove some of that personal data. Google

1967
01:41:08,240 --> 01:41:13,080
Speaker 1: also has a service in itself that lets you remove

1968
01:41:13,160 --> 01:41:15,639
Speaker 1: some of your personal data as well. I've talked about

1969
01:41:15,680 --> 01:41:17,120
Speaker 1: that in the past. I'll put a link to that

1970
01:41:17,200 --> 01:41:20,679
Speaker 1: on my website. David, thanks so much for joining me today.

1971
01:41:20,680 --> 01:41:23,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put a link to technology Talk dot net

1972
01:41:23,400 --> 01:41:28,080
Speaker 1: on my website at richon Tech dot tv coming up.

1973
01:41:28,560 --> 01:41:30,320
Speaker 2: I can't believe it's the end of the show.

1974
01:41:30,920 --> 01:41:35,040
Speaker 1: The feedback segment quickly becoming your favorite segment.

1975
01:41:35,600 --> 01:41:38,360
Speaker 2: You're listening to Rich on tech.

1976
01:41:43,920 --> 01:41:46,679
Speaker 1: That'll wake you up. Rich Demiro here rich On Tech,

1977
01:41:46,760 --> 01:41:50,080
Speaker 1: welcome back to the show. I was gonna give out

1978
01:41:50,080 --> 01:41:54,200
Speaker 1: the phone number, but this is the feedback time it

1979
01:41:54,360 --> 01:41:59,400
Speaker 1: is I'm getting. Feedback is quickly becoming a big part

1980
01:41:59,439 --> 01:42:01,759
Speaker 1: of the show because clearly you're listening.

1981
01:42:01,920 --> 01:42:02,600
Speaker 9: So I like that.

1982
01:42:03,240 --> 01:42:05,400
Speaker 1: Let me do one more story real quick. Two things

1983
01:42:05,400 --> 01:42:07,040
Speaker 1: I wanted to mention before I get to the feedback.

1984
01:42:07,080 --> 01:42:10,840
Speaker 1: First off, if you have a HomePod or a HomePod,

1985
01:42:11,000 --> 01:42:15,280
Speaker 1: Mini sound recognition is now available. So this is a

1986
01:42:15,320 --> 01:42:18,800
Speaker 1: feature that Apple promised a couple months back. But now

1987
01:42:18,960 --> 01:42:23,440
Speaker 1: the HomePod can listen for smoke or carbon monoxide alarms

1988
01:42:23,920 --> 01:42:27,160
Speaker 1: in your home. So if it here's those sounds, it

1989
01:42:27,240 --> 01:42:29,880
Speaker 1: will send a notification to your iPhone, your iPad, or

1990
01:42:29,920 --> 01:42:33,280
Speaker 1: your Apple Watch. And basically it's kind of just listening

1991
01:42:33,360 --> 01:42:36,519
Speaker 1: for these things. And then on iPhone and iPad you'll

1992
01:42:36,520 --> 01:42:39,280
Speaker 1: have the option to check in and hear what's happening.

1993
01:42:39,840 --> 01:42:41,639
Speaker 1: And this is really important. My wife and I one

1994
01:42:41,680 --> 01:42:45,880
Speaker 1: time we flew to New Jersey and there was a

1995
01:42:46,600 --> 01:42:49,560
Speaker 1: fire alarm that happened in our home and it was

1996
01:42:49,640 --> 01:42:53,800
Speaker 1: a mess because it called the alarm system, called the

1997
01:42:53,960 --> 01:42:57,400
Speaker 1: fire department. They arrived on scene, and I felt so

1998
01:42:57,880 --> 01:43:00,040
Speaker 1: helpless because I didn't know what was going on, and

1999
01:43:00,120 --> 01:43:02,000
Speaker 1: I didn't have cameras in my home at the time,

2000
01:43:02,560 --> 01:43:04,519
Speaker 1: so I had no way of knowing what was happening.

2001
01:43:04,920 --> 01:43:07,080
Speaker 1: I had my friend, how how old school is this?

2002
01:43:07,200 --> 01:43:09,960
Speaker 1: I had a friend drive over to my house and

2003
01:43:10,160 --> 01:43:12,360
Speaker 1: look and see what's happening. And he said, the fire

2004
01:43:12,439 --> 01:43:15,160
Speaker 1: department was just about to break the back door to

2005
01:43:15,280 --> 01:43:17,800
Speaker 1: get in, and he said, hold on, you know, it's

2006
01:43:17,840 --> 01:43:20,240
Speaker 1: like I've got Rich on the line. And anyway, it

2007
01:43:20,280 --> 01:43:21,920
Speaker 1: turned out to be a false alarm. But and I

2008
01:43:22,040 --> 01:43:24,920
Speaker 1: installved cameras to see so I can check in anyway.

2009
01:43:24,960 --> 01:43:27,160
Speaker 1: I tell you all that because you know, to be

2010
01:43:27,200 --> 01:43:29,080
Speaker 1: able to listen in to see what's going or to

2011
01:43:29,160 --> 01:43:31,840
Speaker 1: hear what's happening, that's good. But also if you have

2012
01:43:31,920 --> 01:43:35,599
Speaker 1: a homek camera in your home, the video feed will

2013
01:43:35,640 --> 01:43:38,719
Speaker 1: be included in the notification, so you can see what's happening.

2014
01:43:39,479 --> 01:43:41,760
Speaker 1: Something you don't want to think about, but you know,

2015
01:43:42,120 --> 01:43:46,560
Speaker 1: definitely see what's happening inside your house. So that is available.

2016
01:43:47,120 --> 01:43:50,120
Speaker 1: The audio analysis happens on device and if you check in,

2017
01:43:50,240 --> 01:43:53,640
Speaker 1: it's and encrypted. Apple says, so if you've got a

2018
01:43:53,680 --> 01:43:57,360
Speaker 1: homepot or a HomePod Mini set, up sound recognition inside

2019
01:43:57,520 --> 01:43:59,240
Speaker 1: the home app.

2020
01:43:59,760 --> 01:44:03,280
Speaker 2: So, so something that is just kind of an extra perk.

2021
01:44:03,640 --> 01:44:06,960
Speaker 1: All right, if you got an Android phone Samsung, specifically,

2022
01:44:07,120 --> 01:44:09,000
Speaker 1: check out this app called pixel Search.

2023
01:44:09,120 --> 01:44:10,160
Speaker 2: I found this this week.

2024
01:44:11,160 --> 01:44:13,439
Speaker 1: I can't remember how I found it, but someone mentioned

2025
01:44:13,479 --> 01:44:15,680
Speaker 1: it and I installed it on the Samsung and I

2026
01:44:15,800 --> 01:44:19,800
Speaker 1: love it. Not a huge fan of Samsung's Finder, but

2027
01:44:20,200 --> 01:44:23,960
Speaker 1: pixel Search will basically kind of transform the search on

2028
01:44:24,120 --> 01:44:27,680
Speaker 1: your Samsung phone into something that's more pixely, so you

2029
01:44:27,760 --> 01:44:31,559
Speaker 1: can search through your apps, your contacts, web suggestions, and files.

2030
01:44:32,080 --> 01:44:36,320
Speaker 1: It's really clean, it looks really great, and I love it.

2031
01:44:36,880 --> 01:44:39,040
Speaker 1: So the only thing I wish I could do is

2032
01:44:39,120 --> 01:44:41,760
Speaker 1: get it to work when you swipe up on the

2033
01:44:41,960 --> 01:44:46,280
Speaker 1: Samsung Home screen. That would be awesome. That would really

2034
01:44:46,400 --> 01:44:48,920
Speaker 1: make it more into a pixel. So again, the app

2035
01:44:49,040 --> 01:44:52,479
Speaker 1: is called pixel Search. It's on Google Play. I believe

2036
01:44:52,560 --> 01:44:56,400
Speaker 1: it's free to freemium. But check it out pixel Search

2037
01:44:56,479 --> 01:44:59,400
Speaker 1: if you want something that's closer to the pixel on

2038
01:44:59,720 --> 01:45:00,519
Speaker 1: your Samsung.

2039
01:45:02,080 --> 01:45:02,400
Speaker 2: All right.

2040
01:45:02,479 --> 01:45:08,639
Speaker 1: Dominic writes in about Netflix ending DVD mail service. Hey,

2041
01:45:08,720 --> 01:45:11,599
Speaker 1: I'm hearing all the news about Netflix ending DVD service

2042
01:45:11,720 --> 01:45:15,000
Speaker 1: in the US. In the mail, the US Postal Service

2043
01:45:15,080 --> 01:45:17,400
Speaker 1: will lose business from Netflix as I work in the

2044
01:45:17,479 --> 01:45:20,880
Speaker 1: processing facility in San Diego and I see these DVDs

2045
01:45:20,960 --> 01:45:24,280
Speaker 1: coming through. Talk about how much business the postal service

2046
01:45:24,320 --> 01:45:26,680
Speaker 1: will lose, and if Netflix will put those DVDs that

2047
01:45:26,760 --> 01:45:28,519
Speaker 1: come in the mail on their clouds so people can

2048
01:45:28,600 --> 01:45:31,160
Speaker 1: stream them. That is why people get them in the mail,

2049
01:45:31,200 --> 01:45:35,000
Speaker 1: because they cannot be streamed. Thanks man for your work. Yeah, Dominic,

2050
01:45:35,640 --> 01:45:37,840
Speaker 1: you know, I work in the news and the video

2051
01:45:37,960 --> 01:45:42,679
Speaker 1: we showed for so many years was always, always, always,

2052
01:45:42,720 --> 01:45:46,400
Speaker 1: whenever we did a DVD Netflix story was always all

2053
01:45:46,560 --> 01:45:48,960
Speaker 1: of the DVDs that were being sorted in the post

2054
01:45:49,040 --> 01:45:52,479
Speaker 1: office and there was just thousands of them inside those

2055
01:45:53,200 --> 01:45:55,679
Speaker 1: you know, those bucket whatever those things are, those mail

2056
01:45:55,720 --> 01:45:58,799
Speaker 1: sorder kind of bins. But yeah, it's gonna have an impact.

2057
01:45:58,840 --> 01:46:01,400
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a lot less less DVD's going through

2058
01:46:01,439 --> 01:46:04,720
Speaker 1: the mail. Of course, a lot of business lost, as well,

2059
01:46:04,720 --> 01:46:07,720
Speaker 1: a lot of money that Netflix paid to the post

2060
01:46:07,800 --> 01:46:11,400
Speaker 1: service Postal service for this end of an error.

2061
01:46:11,479 --> 01:46:12,120
Speaker 2: For that's for sure.

2062
01:46:12,200 --> 01:46:14,320
Speaker 1: And yes, that's what people liked is that you can

2063
01:46:14,400 --> 01:46:19,240
Speaker 1: get anything on DVD that wasn't available necessarily on streaming

2064
01:46:19,760 --> 01:46:21,680
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff's on streaming of course it may

2065
01:46:21,760 --> 01:46:23,840
Speaker 1: cost you. That's the other big difference is that, yeah,

2066
01:46:23,840 --> 01:46:25,360
Speaker 1: you might be able to get on streaming, but for

2067
01:46:25,479 --> 01:46:29,240
Speaker 1: some of these obscure titles you have to pay. Steven

2068
01:46:29,320 --> 01:46:32,160
Speaker 1: palm Spring says, love, love, love you taking over for

2069
01:46:32,320 --> 01:46:34,559
Speaker 1: Leo on the talks on the Tech Show. I listen

2070
01:46:34,640 --> 01:46:37,639
Speaker 1: every week and you're doing a great job. Thank you Steve.

2071
01:46:38,800 --> 01:46:42,320
Speaker 1: By the way, Leo still does his shows on his

2072
01:46:42,439 --> 01:46:45,280
Speaker 1: own network. So I just took over the radio portion.

2073
01:46:46,479 --> 01:46:49,000
Speaker 1: I emailed you several weeks ago and expressed how pleased

2074
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:50,960
Speaker 1: I was with the new format of the show. You're

2075
01:46:51,000 --> 01:46:53,599
Speaker 1: covering tech, computer and mobile, which is relevant for all

2076
01:46:53,680 --> 01:46:56,960
Speaker 1: of us. You throw in stories about evs again great.

2077
01:46:57,120 --> 01:46:59,639
Speaker 1: You tell personal stories like saving the guy in Hawaii,

2078
01:47:00,720 --> 01:47:03,560
Speaker 1: which are interesting and to the point. Keep doing what

2079
01:47:03,680 --> 01:47:06,559
Speaker 1: you're doing and most of us will be happy. Keep

2080
01:47:06,640 --> 01:47:07,360
Speaker 1: up the great work.

2081
01:47:07,600 --> 01:47:08,320
Speaker 2: Now my question.

2082
01:47:09,520 --> 01:47:12,160
Speaker 1: You indicated the show notes would be posted online. Oh,

2083
01:47:12,200 --> 01:47:15,080
Speaker 1: I knew you're gonna okay, So the nice comes with

2084
01:47:15,439 --> 01:47:18,840
Speaker 1: you know a you know, not so nice. I go

2085
01:47:18,920 --> 01:47:20,640
Speaker 1: to Rich on tech dot TV and it appears to

2086
01:47:20,720 --> 01:47:23,200
Speaker 1: me you're not They're not current, nor do they contain

2087
01:47:23,280 --> 01:47:25,439
Speaker 1: everything you spoke of on the show. Am I looking

2088
01:47:25,479 --> 01:47:28,800
Speaker 1: in the wrong place? Thanks rich for doing an awesome job.

2089
01:47:29,360 --> 01:47:32,960
Speaker 1: I'll admit it's me doing the notes, and sometimes they're thorough,

2090
01:47:33,120 --> 01:47:36,000
Speaker 1: sometimes they're not. I'm doing a better job. The best

2091
01:47:36,080 --> 01:47:39,120
Speaker 1: place this is put out as a podcast after it's

2092
01:47:39,560 --> 01:47:43,840
Speaker 1: on the show, and it's it's on podpage, dot com,

2093
01:47:44,000 --> 01:47:46,960
Speaker 1: slash rich on tech so I usually put that link

2094
01:47:47,080 --> 01:47:49,360
Speaker 1: on the rich on tech dot tv. It's a lot

2095
01:47:49,439 --> 01:47:52,720
Speaker 1: of different links, but hopefully rich on tech dot tv

2096
01:47:52,840 --> 01:47:54,760
Speaker 1: should be the clearinghouse for that. There is a little

2097
01:47:55,040 --> 01:47:57,639
Speaker 1: icon if you go to rich on tech dot tv,

2098
01:47:57,720 --> 01:47:59,880
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of icons. Look for the one that

2099
01:48:00,040 --> 01:48:03,240
Speaker 1: looks like a podcast. That's the one to click, and

2100
01:48:03,360 --> 01:48:05,160
Speaker 1: that will bring you to the show, which will bring

2101
01:48:05,240 --> 01:48:11,040
Speaker 1: you to the show notes. Vince writes, how do you

2102
01:48:11,120 --> 01:48:13,920
Speaker 1: stop ways from running after the car is turned off?

2103
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:16,759
Speaker 1: I've got a twenty twenty one Nissan Rogue with wireless

2104
01:48:16,760 --> 01:48:19,960
Speaker 1: Apple car Play. I use Ways on an iPhone running

2105
01:48:19,960 --> 01:48:22,719
Speaker 1: the latest iOS update. My problem is Ways keeps running

2106
01:48:22,760 --> 01:48:24,679
Speaker 1: on my phone even after I turn off and exit

2107
01:48:24,760 --> 01:48:27,720
Speaker 1: the car after arriving at my destination. Is there a

2108
01:48:27,760 --> 01:48:29,920
Speaker 1: way to stop it from running in the background. I'm

2109
01:48:29,960 --> 01:48:32,200
Speaker 1: concerned about the impact on my battery drain. I would

2110
01:48:32,240 --> 01:48:34,679
Speaker 1: force clothes, but often I forget and it just keeps

2111
01:48:34,760 --> 01:48:37,200
Speaker 1: running in the background. Yeah, this is definitely an issue

2112
01:48:37,200 --> 01:48:39,160
Speaker 1: with Ways, but this is how Ways works.

2113
01:48:39,960 --> 01:48:40,280
Speaker 10: Ways.

2114
01:48:40,400 --> 01:48:44,120
Speaker 1: The whole thing is crowdsourced, and so they're collecting data

2115
01:48:44,280 --> 01:48:47,479
Speaker 1: off of your phone to help other Ways users, and

2116
01:48:47,600 --> 01:48:51,519
Speaker 1: so there is a way to stop Ways. And yes,

2117
01:48:51,680 --> 01:48:54,120
Speaker 1: this has happened to me, Dominic or Vince so many

2118
01:48:54,200 --> 01:48:58,040
Speaker 1: times where I get to my destination, my phone is

2119
01:48:58,080 --> 01:49:00,679
Speaker 1: in my pocket and all of a sudden, Ways starts

2120
01:49:00,760 --> 01:49:03,560
Speaker 1: spouting out some directions or something or some sort of

2121
01:49:03,680 --> 01:49:05,479
Speaker 1: like turn left at the next street. I'm like, wait,

2122
01:49:05,600 --> 01:49:09,080
Speaker 1: what So Ways is pretty much always running on your

2123
01:49:09,120 --> 01:49:11,120
Speaker 1: phone in the background unless you tell it not to.

2124
01:49:12,000 --> 01:49:14,160
Speaker 1: And the only way I know of to tell it

2125
01:49:14,280 --> 01:49:19,000
Speaker 1: not to is by going into the Ways app and

2126
01:49:19,120 --> 01:49:21,679
Speaker 1: then you tap my Ways and then there's a little

2127
01:49:21,760 --> 01:49:25,120
Speaker 1: power button. You press that power button, it goes into

2128
01:49:25,240 --> 01:49:28,720
Speaker 1: sleep mode. It says Ways is currently inactive, you are

2129
01:49:28,760 --> 01:49:33,240
Speaker 1: not using battery, contributing data, or earning points, and then

2130
01:49:33,280 --> 01:49:35,720
Speaker 1: you have to tap wake up. But otherwise, as far

2131
01:49:35,760 --> 01:49:37,679
Speaker 1: as I know, it's pretty much always running. I don't

2132
01:49:37,720 --> 01:49:39,479
Speaker 1: know how much on the iPhone. It's allowed to do

2133
01:49:39,560 --> 01:49:42,439
Speaker 1: in the background all the time, so it may end

2134
01:49:42,560 --> 01:49:45,479
Speaker 1: up stopping by itself at some point. But that's the

2135
01:49:45,560 --> 01:49:47,800
Speaker 1: best way I know of manually doing it, unless you

2136
01:49:47,960 --> 01:49:51,160
Speaker 1: just kind of force clothes. Like you said, not a

2137
01:49:51,200 --> 01:49:54,679
Speaker 1: perfect system, but that's how they kind of work. Let's see.

2138
01:49:55,000 --> 01:49:57,719
Speaker 1: Michael in Kentucky says, Hey, Rich, I love the show.

2139
01:49:57,800 --> 01:49:59,920
Speaker 1: Each week I listen to the podcast. I just want

2140
01:50:00,200 --> 01:50:03,120
Speaker 1: a chime in about your segment on juice jacking plugging

2141
01:50:03,200 --> 01:50:05,560
Speaker 1: into USB in the mall or airports. There was a

2142
01:50:05,640 --> 01:50:08,840
Speaker 1: show spin off from CSI called Cyber. There was an

2143
01:50:08,840 --> 01:50:12,000
Speaker 1: episode that featured someone stealing information and cloning phones when

2144
01:50:12,040 --> 01:50:16,040
Speaker 1: someone plugged into a place for a quick charge. The

2145
01:50:16,160 --> 01:50:18,639
Speaker 1: hackers used a router and portable hard drive to upload

2146
01:50:18,720 --> 01:50:21,240
Speaker 1: malware and download data from the phones. At the time

2147
01:50:21,360 --> 01:50:23,280
Speaker 1: this show was out, phones were not as secure as

2148
01:50:23,320 --> 01:50:25,080
Speaker 1: they are now, but I'm sure it could happen today.

2149
01:50:25,600 --> 01:50:27,680
Speaker 1: Thanks and keep up the great job. I'm still tech

2150
01:50:27,720 --> 01:50:30,519
Speaker 1: support for my friends and family. Yes, I think phones

2151
01:50:30,520 --> 01:50:33,120
Speaker 1: are more secure now than they were. And finally, Sally says,

2152
01:50:33,160 --> 01:50:34,800
Speaker 1: thanks Rich for the heads up on the drop cam

2153
01:50:34,920 --> 01:50:38,599
Speaker 1: slash Google update. FYI, they only provide you with two

2154
01:50:38,760 --> 01:50:42,200
