Usually 11 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 1: producer Megan accompanies me on this show. She is on vacation. 12 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: I hope she's enjoying a much needed break. I know 13 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,319 Speaker 1: I got one a couple of weeks ago, exactly two 14 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: weeks ago, and it felt pretty good to be on 15 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: the open road and just do a little road trip. 16 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: It was a little, you know, a little scary with 17 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: the whole coronavirus stuff going around, and you know, it 18 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: was it was different, but we did survive, and we 19 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: took all the precautions necessary and wearing masks and sanitizing 20 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: and Clorox wipes everywhere, but we did it and it 21 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: was fun and I think that is going to be 22 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: the only way that people really travel this summer is 23 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: by road trip. So just talk to a cool guy 24 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: named Josh who actually does a website and a YouTube 25 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 1: channel called California through my Lens. So he just did 26 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: a road trip and he makes a living by going 27 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: to different places, and for like a couple of months 28 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: he just stopped and he finally did a road trip 29 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: recently and we were talking about it. And by the way, 30 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: he was one of these people that when you talk 31 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: to you just kind of connect with like everything he said, 32 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: like I liked as well, so I feel like him 33 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: and I should be friends. So I'm gonna once the 34 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: pandemic is over, hopefully it's over soon. Once that's over 35 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: and you can actually do normal things again, definitely gonna 36 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: hang out with Josh and and just kind of see 37 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: if we can be buddies because it's pretty cool. He 38 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: cool story too. He actually quit his job to do 39 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: a blog and then YouTube and it's been five years. 40 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: So anyway, I tell you this because he's gonna be 41 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: on KTLA in one of my segments about road tripping, 42 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: and he had some great information. By the way, if 43 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: you follow me on Twitter, you might have seen that. 44 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: I tweeted a picture from our story that we were 45 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: shooting the other day, and I'm at richon tech on Twitter, 46 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: and I did it in front of it. We shot 47 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: in front of Pasadena City Hall because I thought that 48 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: was like a kind of a cool looking location. And 49 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: all these people start tweeting me back saying, oh my gosh, 50 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: you're in Pawnee, and I'm like, what Pawnee like parks 51 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: and rec And sure enough, parks and Rec. I guess 52 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: that's where they do the exterior for the city hall. 53 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: But which is kind of funny because this isn't Wasn't 54 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: that city like a tiny little city and that's such 55 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: a grand city hall. Maybe that's part of the joke. 56 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: But anyway, I had no idea, even though I watched 57 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: that show. I love that show. In fact, I was 58 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: out to dinner once and the oh my gosh, you 59 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: now I'm blanking on her name, the lead woman. She 60 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: was out to dinner with us in the restaurant. This 61 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: was a long time ago. Anyway, I digress. We're talking 62 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: about technology. There's a lot of stuff happening this week, 63 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: and WWDC twenty was the big event. Now it's thirty 64 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: one years, which is pretty wild. Apple says this is 65 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: the biggest WWDC today. I don't know where they got that, 66 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: but I guess technically it is because there's more developers 67 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: than ever, twenty three million Apple developers. And this year 68 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: it was kind of cool because they all got to 69 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: attend if they wanted to, because it was all virtual, 70 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: so everyone got to see this stuff if they wanted to, 71 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: and the entire keynote was virtual as well, and we 72 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: learned a lot about what the future of the iPhone 73 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: is going to hold, not just the iPhone, but all 74 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: kinds of gadgets from Apple and just some number on 75 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: the app Store launched in two thousand and eight. Can 76 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: you believe that? So the first iPhone didn't have the 77 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: App Store, which now seems crazy. Two million apps on there, 78 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: five hundred and nineteen billion dollars in billiing and sales 79 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. Wow, And that's all just virtual. It's 80 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: all just digital. It doesn't even exist in real life 81 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: except in bits wild. All right, let's talk about the 82 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,799 Speaker 1: biggest thing that is going to affect the most people, 83 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: which is iOS fourteen. And I installed iOS fourteen, a 84 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: developer edition on a spare iPhone. You're not supposed to 85 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: put this on your main one, although I really really 86 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: want to because it just looks so cool and it 87 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: brings so many of the features that I want on 88 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: the iPhone, and the two biggest features are widgets on 89 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: the home screen. And also you can finally stop organizing 90 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: your apps. So I only organized my first two pages 91 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: of apps, and then I just, you know, declare bankruptcy 92 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: on the rest, and they I'll just float on the 93 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: extra pages as they go along, and I just don't 94 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: care because I'll just search for an app. Most of 95 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: the time after my first page. I'm not even using 96 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 1: those apps except maybe once in a while, and so 97 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: I don't need them all in little folders and perfectly 98 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: figured out and set up. So Apple is now letting 99 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: us do something called the app library, which if you've 100 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: ever had an Android phone, that's called the app drawer. 101 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,679 Speaker 1: You swipe up and you can see all your apps 102 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: in alphabetical order, or you can sort them the way 103 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: you want on certain launchers, but anyway, on iPhone, it's 104 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: all going to be organized. So when you get to 105 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: your last page, all of the apps will be in 106 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: an app library that lets you see the apps organized 107 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 1: by Apple into categories, so all your communication apps, all 108 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,799 Speaker 1: your entertainment apps, whatever, and then you have if you swipe, 109 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: I think it's down from that screen or up. It's 110 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: very complicated to get used to it. But then you 111 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: have a list of all your apps in alphabetical order. 112 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: So the good news is you can also delete home screens. 113 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: You only have to have one home screen now, so 114 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: for me, I'm just gonna have two home screens. My 115 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: main apps, my secondary apps, and the rest are all 116 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: going to live in that app library. Other notable improvements 117 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: to iOS fourteen phone calls and FaceTime calls when they 118 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: come in do not take up your entire screen, which 119 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: is kind of nice and picture and picture so you 120 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: can watch a video like a YouTube video, or you 121 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: can do FaceTime. And this happened to me the other day. 122 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: I'm sitting there and I'm facetiming. I think it was 123 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: my sister and I want to look something up, and 124 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: I swipe down to you to or bring up an app, 125 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: and she goes away, and I'm like, wait, what that 126 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: seems kind of crazy And it just didn't even occur 127 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: to me because I don't use FaceTime that often that 128 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: they didn't have picture and picture, and sure enough that's there. 129 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: When it comes to messages, you can now pin a 130 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 1: conversation to the top, which I love. I use Telegram 131 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: for a lot of my conversations and I pin the 132 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: most important ones to the top. I can finally do 133 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 1: that in messages, although for the majority of people that 134 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: I talk to the most, I don't use I message anymore. 135 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: See you can mention and you can also do inline replies, 136 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: so if you're having a long conversation with someone and 137 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 1: you want to reply to something they said, you know, 138 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: three lines up, you can finally do that. What else 139 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: maps There are cycling directions that doesn't really appeal to me, 140 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: but ev directions is kind of cool. So you can 141 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: route based on your you know, availability of charging stations. 142 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: If you have an electric car, digital car key, so 143 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: you can use your iPhone as a key for your car, 144 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: which I think is really cool. And I know I 145 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: did a story about this on KTLA, and of course 146 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: all the comments come in about how it's not going 147 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: to be safe and what if you lose your phone 148 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: and what if your phone dies? And yes, of course 149 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: Apple has thought of all of these things. And if 150 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: you lose your phone, yeah, that's tricky because you don't 151 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: have your phone, but I believe you'll be able to 152 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: do it with your watch as well, so you still 153 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: have your watch hopefully if you have a watch. I mean, 154 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: I'm not assuming everyone out there has an Apple Watch 155 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: as an iPhone, but if you do, that's one way. 156 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: You can also share keys with friends. So maybe with 157 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: your spouse or significant other, you share a key and 158 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: you know, hopefully they didn't lose their phone as well. 159 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: But that's the beauty of this. If you ever lose 160 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: a real key fob, you're gonna you're paying a couple 161 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: hundred bucks. Now, if you lose your iPhone, yes, that's 162 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: definitely a problem, but you have ways of finding it, 163 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: like find my iPhone. So there are pros and cons 164 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: to everything, But personally, I love the idea of one 165 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: less thing to carry around. So I've got electronic door 166 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: locks on my house and now I've got my phone 167 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: working as a key. I'm just saying theoretically, so I 168 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: don't even have to carry keys around anymore. How cool 169 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: is that? I love it. That's gonna happen actually in July, 170 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: starting with the BMW five series, and it's gonna expand 171 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: to other BMW's. And this isn't just Apple, by the way, 172 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: and it's not just iPhone. This is going to be 173 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: something that happens in the future. There's a big consortium 174 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: of all how do you say that word consortium? Consortium? 175 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. Let's see. Let's see what Google says consortium. 176 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: Let's see how to pronounce that consortium. There's a big 177 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: consortium of companies and this includes you know, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Volkswagen, 178 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: so Samsung. So believe me, Google wasn't on there though. 179 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: So but these companies want to make the phone everything 180 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: and they will continue on their way of doing that. 181 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to let's get to the first 182 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: question here. Usually producer Megan would chime in here with 183 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: the first question, but it's going to be me. You 184 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: get all me for this podcast. Let's start with don 185 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: Don says, I have a question I guess I should 186 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: know the answer to, but I do not, And some 187 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: others I've asked don't either. It seems pretty simple. This morning, 188 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: Sam Rubin had a segment that's our entertainment guy at 189 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: KTLA on a new movie called irresistible and stated it 190 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: as being released on video on demand. Okay, how does 191 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: one find VOD? Is it a streaming service? I have 192 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: a Samsung Q ninety, top of the line on this stuff, 193 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: and the caves and canyons of online streaming is endless. 194 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: One friend says, may it's something you get on your 195 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 1: smartphone or iPad and watch it there, not on your 196 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: big screen. What's the use of that? This seems like 197 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: a catch twenty two. You have to know. But how 198 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: by some strange brew of mental osmosis, is this a 199 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: paid streamer like Disney or Amazon or something you find 200 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: magically somewhere hidden in the canyons of mystery? He liked 201 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: that word canyons seems like something I should understand, but 202 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: short of geekiness. Thanks Don, It's a good question, and 203 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: I don I get it. I think that this is 204 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: it's something that like I would take for granted, but 205 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: I would not. I would not automatically assume everyone knows 206 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: how to get a movie that's VOD. And this is 207 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: new for these video on demand movies that are being 208 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: released straight to demand. Video on demand has been around forever, 209 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: mostly on cable boxes, but there is a weird delineation 210 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: nowadays that you have sort of picked up upon. And 211 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: we've got two things going on right now. You've got 212 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: streaming services, which ninety nine point nine percent of the 213 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: conversation is about all the time, Netflix, Disney Plus, Quibi 214 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: even what are some of the other ones, Hulu, Hbo 215 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: and those are services that you pay a monthly fee 216 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: for and then you get to watch as much as 217 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: you want. It's the all you can eat kind of method, 218 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: and that's what most people do. Then you have something else, 219 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: which is you can buy a digital copy of a movie. 220 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,719 Speaker 1: You can rent a digital copy of a movie, and 221 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: examples of this include the iTunes Store, include Google Play Store, 222 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: Google Play Movies, I should say, and there's a whole 223 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: bunch of other ones. There's Voodoo, there's Microsoft, There's a 224 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: whole bunch of ways to buy movies. Now here's where 225 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: it gets really confusing. Amazon Prime Video is a way 226 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: to get subscription stuff because it's including an Amazon Prime 227 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: but it's also has paid movies as well, and so 228 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,839 Speaker 1: I think that's where it gets a little complicated. And 229 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: the bottom line for your TV, a Samsung TV, I 230 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: believe you'll just have to look for the app on 231 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: that TV that actually sells or rents movies, and that 232 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: won't be Netflix, that won't be Disney Plus, that will 233 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: be something like I'm guessing because it's running Android or 234 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,079 Speaker 1: a version of that, maybe something like Google Play Movie Store, 235 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: so look for that. Maybe Samsung has their own movie store. 236 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: I don't think so. But it gets really complicated because 237 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: you have like the Apple TV app on your TV, 238 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: perhaps you have a new Samsung, and you can't rent 239 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 1: or buy anything through it. You can only view stuff 240 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: through it, So I get it. Don It has become 241 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: a little bit confusing, and to be honest, a lot 242 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: of people aren't buying movies. They're just watching what's on streaming, 243 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: So when these new movies come out, it takes a 244 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: little bit of figuring out. We watched the new Trolls 245 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: movie on Fandango now, which who knew that that was 246 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 1: sort of a streaming service that you can buy and 247 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: rent movies on. But yes you can. So I think 248 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: that's a good question. And for me personally, I do 249 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: everything in my power to not purchase or rent movies 250 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: anymore because there are just so many services that I 251 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 1: pay for that I would rather watch a movie that 252 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: I pay for. That a movie that's streaming on a 253 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,559 Speaker 1: service I already pay for. And I know I've mentioned 254 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 1: this before, but two ways to find movies on services 255 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: that you're already paying for. The first is an app 256 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: called Real Good are e E, L g oo D, 257 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,719 Speaker 1: and you pop in all the services that you subscribe to, 258 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: and they slice and dice this in a million different ways, 259 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: so you can keep a list of the things you 260 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: want to see and it will tell you when they're 261 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: streaming for free. Or you can browse the newest movies, 262 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: the most popular movies, movies in various categories, movies just 263 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: added to your services, so if you're all caught up 264 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: on everything, you can see sort of what's new. The 265 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: other thing I like is a website and it's called 266 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: only on Streaming dot Com. Only on Streaming dot Com. 267 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: And what's magical about this website is that they give 268 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: you all the newest stuff. So I just sit here 269 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: and watch the newest or I can see what the 270 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: newest items are original streaming content coming to Netflix, Amazon, 271 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: Disney Plus, Hulu, CBS DC YouTube, Crackle, Apple TV plus, Facebook, 272 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: and more. So, for instance, I can see on July third, 273 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: Hamilton is coming to Disney. Plus, I can see that 274 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: Little Voice season one is coming to Apple TV. Plus 275 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: I can see that Muppets Now Season one is coming 276 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: to Disney. Plus I can see that Let's see what 277 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: else is on here, Animaniacs season one is coming to 278 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: Hulu on oh in twenty twenty. Okay, some of these 279 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: are way far out, but I can see Pete the Cat, 280 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: which my kids like, just launched on Amazon Prime Video. Okay, 281 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: I told you there'd be a couple of ways. So 282 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: one more way is on on Google. You type in 283 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: oh gosh, hold on, hold on. I think it's called 284 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: what to Watch, And let me just confirm that, yes, 285 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: if you search on Google what to watch, they have 286 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: their own secret little place where you can find all 287 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: the movies on your provider. And I keep a list 288 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: in here. It's a little confusing because I keep a 289 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: list in Real Good and I also keep a list 290 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: on what to watch on Google. I haven't decided which 291 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: one I think is better. Real Good is definitely the 292 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: more elaborate app. It has many more features. But I 293 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: got to say. Google has the power of Google Search, 294 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: so they know exactly what people are searching for at 295 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: that very moment and what people are watching, so you 296 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: can see all the popular stuff. And again you can 297 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: see stuff that's just on your streaming providers or stuff 298 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: that's free. You can see TV shows and you can 299 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: keep a watch list. So again all you have to 300 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: do is search what to watch on Google and do 301 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: it from your mobile phone because that's like the easier 302 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: way of doing it. So anyway, Wow, good information, good question, 303 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: and again find those free movies. That's my recommendation. Moving on, now, 304 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: let's talk more about WWDC because there are more features 305 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: I want to talk about. Let's move into iPad iPad 306 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: os four ten. The main feature they're bringing there is Scribble, 307 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: and I will be honest, I've been testing out a 308 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: iPad pro with the Apple keyboard case and I haven't 309 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: opened the Apple pencil yet, but it's got one and 310 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: also the track pad, and I'll say I love the 311 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: big screen and I've been basically just reading the newspaper 312 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: on it every day, and you know, that's kind of it. 313 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: And I actually used it as a workout thing the 314 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: other day to watch my peloton and use that on 315 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: my bike, which was great the big screen. But I 316 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: did also do a blog post on the iPad as well, 317 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: and I'll tell you it, it's really tricky because I 318 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: think it's one of those things where you just have 319 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: to get into it and use it. But I am 320 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: so used to my computer. That is sort of my world. 321 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: That is how I know how to do everything. I drag, 322 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: I drop, I move, I've got my apps that I like, 323 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: and so I think you can do a lot of 324 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: the same stuff on the iPad and especially the iPad Pro, 325 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: but it just takes a lot of getting used to. Now. 326 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: With that said, and I always say this on this podcast, 327 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: if I was not editing video and I was a 328 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: business person that was doing blog posts and social media, 329 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: I would be on the iPad Pro in one second 330 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: as my daily driver computer with the keyboard and the pencil, 331 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,719 Speaker 1: because you can do so much, and I love the 332 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: fact that it's got a touch screen. I find myself 333 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: trying to touch my screen on the MacBook Pro and 334 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: it's not there, and sometimes I'm like, oh, this would 335 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: be so much easier, And then sometimes on the iPad, 336 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 1: I'm using it and I forget that it's a touch screen. Anyway, 337 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: the feature they're bringing is called Scribble to the iPad, 338 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: which means you can use the Apple pencil to type 339 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: or to write in any text field and it will 340 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: convert it to handwriting. And there's been this long dream 341 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: of converting handwriting to text. It's not very good in 342 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: my opinion, but who knows, maybe this will work. When 343 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: it comes to the Apple Watch, and you know, I 344 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: love the Apple Watch. It is such a great device. 345 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: A couple things are doing there. You can share watch faces, 346 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 1: which is kind of cool. So I see a lot 347 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: of celebrities and influencers and writers sharing kind of the 348 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 1: best setup for a watch face. Let's say you love 349 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: hiking and you've got a favorite hiker that you follow 350 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: on a blog. He's like, here's he or she is like, 351 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: here's my watch face. Go ahead. You can just download 352 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: it and there's a click to download, and now you've 353 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: got their watch face with all their setup and everything. 354 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: And if you don't have the apps that they have, 355 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 1: it'll direct you to do that. Now. From Apple standpoint 356 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 1: of course, this up sells apps. So if they've got 357 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: a complication on there, that's a buck ninety nine. Now 358 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: they've just sold that to you. Brilliant sleep tracking. Now 359 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 1: I think Apple is tiptoeing into sleep tracking. I'm not 360 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: sure this is going to beat something like a fitbit 361 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: to track your sleep, but it's a step. It's a 362 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: first step. It's gonna get you to see just how 363 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: much you're sleeping. I'm not sure how rich the data is, 364 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: but we'll have to see just how good that is. 365 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: But it's kind of nice to have that. It's gonna 366 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,360 Speaker 1: make a lot of people try to figure out when 367 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: they can charge their Apple Watch because it does not 368 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: last for more than pretty much a day, especially if 369 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: you're working out hand washing feature, so this will detect 370 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: when you're washing your hands. This is their coronavirus toss 371 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,360 Speaker 1: in here, so if you're washing your hands, it will 372 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 1: start a twenty second countdown timer to make sure you 373 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: wash for twenty seconds, which I'm guilty of not washing 374 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: for that full time every time, but maybe I would 375 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: if my watch prompted me to do that. And it's 376 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: kind of interesting how they did this. They're using the 377 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: motion sensors in the watch to kind of figure out, Okay, 378 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: did he start washing his hands. Yes, Then they tap 379 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: on the microphone to listen for the sound of water 380 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: running and also the sound of soap being squished between 381 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 1: your fingertips, so a very interesting way to detect hand washing. 382 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,959 Speaker 1: And finally, the activity app in iOS fourteen is going 383 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 1: to be called Fitness. Now they've added four new fitness types, 384 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: core training, Dance, functional strength training, and cool down. So 385 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: that's pretty nice. And now there's some privacy things as well, 386 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: and I love that Apple just continues to hammer down 387 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 1: on privacy. Users can share their approximate location with developers, 388 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 1: which is so nice because on Twitter, I used to 389 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: think it was really a good idea to share your 390 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: exact location, but guess what, they're collecting way too much 391 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,239 Speaker 1: data on exactly where I am. So I would very 392 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: much be happy if Twitter just knows that when I'm tweeting, 393 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: I'm in Los Angeles, not exactly where I am in 394 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 1: the city or anywhere. Then there's indicator lights now, so 395 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 1: whenever an app has access to your device's camera or microphone, 396 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: there will be a little tiny indicator light on your screen. 397 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,919 Speaker 1: On the iOS iOS I should just say iPhone, iPad 398 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: and watch. That is a brilliant move because everyone is 399 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: so concerned about these apps having secret access, especially Facebook. 400 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: Everyone thinks that they're listening to them. Now you'll know 401 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: if you see your camera or mic light up. Okay, yeah, 402 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: that app is listening, and this will keep bad developers 403 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: out of the store as well, or malicious developers or 404 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: malicious apps, whatever you want to call it, but bad stuff. Now, 405 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: with that said, there's another feature which shows when an 406 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: app spies on your clipboard. And it's already getting a 407 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: lot of publicity because a bunch of apps look at 408 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 1: what you copy and paste on your iPhone. Surprise, surprise. 409 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: If you've ever wondered why when you send a text 410 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 1: to someone you get an ad for that exact thing 411 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 1: ten minutes later in your Instagram or Facebook feed, Well, 412 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 1: guess what, now we have a little idea why. So 413 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 1: a lot of users have been posting videos of screencaps 414 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: because they've installed the developer version of iOS fourteen, And 415 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: when you open up an app, it says at the 416 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 1: top of the screen app whatever the app name, just 417 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 1: access to your clipboard. WHOA wait? What? So this is 418 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: again built into iOS fourteen so that you have the 419 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 1: power as an individual to say, hmm, I just open 420 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: up a weather app. Why does it need access? Why 421 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: is it taking a look at my clipboard? Now there 422 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: are some benefits to this, so Let's let me give 423 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: you one example. Let's say you have Apple or Google Maps, 424 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: and Google google Maps looks at the clipboard to see 425 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: if you copied and paste copied an address, and if 426 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: you did, if you ever noticed, when you go to 427 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 1: search on Google Maps on iOS, it'll say, do you 428 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: want to search for the clipboard the address you just copied? 429 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: So I get it. There are valid reasons for this behavior, 430 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: but it's nice now that it's out in the open 431 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: that it will definitely catch some bad actors for sure. 432 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: Let's get to the next question here in the show, 433 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,479 Speaker 1: and Steve says, good morning, rich. My wife is a 434 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: makeup artist, but she has about twenty five thousand pictures 435 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: on her iPhone and it's already reaching Your iPhone could 436 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: not back up due to limited storage. Our next option 437 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: is getting the one terabyte for nine to ninety nine 438 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: a month. Isn't there a better option? And my answer 439 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: to this is, before you pay that ten bucks a month, 440 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 1: you might want to check a few things. So number one, 441 00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: iPhone and Apple are notorious for gobbling up your iCloud 442 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: storage and with stuff that is unnecessary. So the first 443 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: thing before you pay for this extra storage, what I 444 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: want you to do is check the iCloud backups for 445 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: older backups that you might not need anymore. What happens 446 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: when you update or upgrade your iPhone or an iPad 447 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: or an Apple Watch or anything, iCloud keeps that old 448 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,959 Speaker 1: backup of that device, even after you've started using your 449 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: new device and backing that one up. So let's say 450 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 1: your old phone was twenty five gigs backed up, and 451 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: then your new phone has twenty five gigs on it 452 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: because you moved everything over. Well, now you're taking up 453 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: double the storage in iCloud because you never deleted that 454 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: old phone out of iCloud and you don't need it 455 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 1: in there because guess what the data is on your 456 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: new phone and it's backed up into iCloud, so you 457 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: can delete that old backup. So the number one thing 458 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: to do is look for old backups you don't need anymore. 459 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: So that means you got to go into settings Apple ID, 460 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: which is right at the top. It has your little 461 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: picture iCloud, then manage storage and backups. Yeah, they don't 462 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: make this easy to find, and then look for old 463 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: devices that you're not using. If it says this phone, 464 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: that means it's your phone. That you're using. If there's 465 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 1: any other old phones in there from years past, you 466 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 1: can go ahead and safely delete those as long as 467 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,199 Speaker 1: you know that that data has been moved to a 468 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: new device. Make sure you do that. Don't just delete 469 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: stuff without thinking, because you could get rid of something important. Now, 470 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,479 Speaker 1: if you're using iCloud for photos, you need to do 471 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,479 Speaker 1: another thing because if you're running out of storage on 472 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: your phone, which this sounded like it was an iCloud thing, 473 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: not an iPhone thing, you still want to check this 474 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: option to make sure that you're optimizing the storage on 475 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 1: your iPhone as well, because a lot of people buy 476 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: extra storage on iCloud not realizing that it doesn't really 477 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: have to do with their iPhone. So you want to 478 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: go into settings Apple id iCloud then Photos and there's 479 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: a toggle says that says optimized optimize Phone Storage. And 480 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: what this does is it will look at how much 481 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: space is on your phone and it will make sure 482 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: you don't run out with all your pictures taking up 483 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: space on your phone. So what it does is, if 484 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 1: you're using iCloud, let's say you've got, you know, a 485 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: sixty four gigabyte iPhone and you've got fifty gigs of 486 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: pictures and you're getting close to that sixty four gigabyte 487 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: limit on your iPhone. Well, Apple is smart enough to say, well, 488 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: they've got one hundred gigs out here in iCloud. Let's 489 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 1: offload some of these pictures from the iPhone. Let's offload 490 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: fifteen gigs. But we'll keep little thumbnails on the iPhone, 491 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: so if you ever need to scroll through your photo library, 492 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 1: you'll still see those, and when you tap one, we'll 493 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 1: just download that photo on demand from the cloud instantly. 494 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: So it seems like everything's on your phone, but in reality, 495 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: it's been offloaded to the cloud. Google Photos works in 496 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 1: very much the same way. It's a little bit different 497 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 1: on the iPhone, but yes, that's kind of how Google 498 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: Photos works is you can have Google Photos on your phone. 499 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: It will delete the originals from your phone and it 500 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 1: will keep them in your library. So when you're searching 501 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 1: on Google Photos, seems like everything's there. It's just really 502 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: in the cloud. So those are my two recommendations. I 503 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: would recommend the Google Photo but if you're already using 504 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 1: iCloud and backing up your photos there, Steve, I think 505 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: that just stick with what she got but that's my recommendation, 506 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 1: and hopefully you're not paying for storage that you don't 507 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 1: really need. Wise Cam has done it again. Wise Cam 508 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 1: is the company that you probably know. They make a 509 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 1: twenty dollars security camera that many many people did not 510 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: believe me when I first presented this on TV back 511 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen. They said, what, there's no way that 512 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: a security camera can be twenty dollars. And here's the thing, 513 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 1: I actually take the time to test this stuff before 514 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: I just talk about it. Now. I get it. If 515 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: something is announced like this camera that I have not tested, 516 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: I will talk about it without having tested it. But 517 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 1: most of the time, if I'm doing a story on 518 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 1: TV about a product, I have done my research. I 519 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: have figured out who are the people behind this company? 520 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 1: How is this so cheap? What are they doing? Is it, 521 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: you know, sending data to China like everyone accused it 522 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: of doing. No, it was just a bunch of smart 523 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 1: Amazon people who saw what Amazon was doing. I mean, 524 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 1: look at them. They came out with a thirty five 525 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 1: dollars streaming stick. Google came out with a Chrome cast 526 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: device that was dirt cheap and let you stream stuff 527 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 1: to your TV for the first time, cheaper than any 528 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 1: other method in the history of mankind. So yes, these 529 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: companies figure stuff out and they cut things out of 530 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 1: the system that you may not need in a more 531 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: expensive system. Apple TV is two hundred dollars. Do you 532 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: need all the features in there? Probably not, but you're 533 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: getting something that's in the Apple ecosystem. Chrome cast dirt cheap. 534 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: A lot of people love it. Didn't believe when I 535 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,400 Speaker 1: talked about that either. So again, these companies do this, 536 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: and the Wyscam outdoor is now just forty dollars. Now 537 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: before you, let me give you some details on this. 538 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: So this is a wireless outdoor security camera. It records 539 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: in full HD ten ADP. It is IP sixty five 540 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: weather resistant, which is not the highest, but it will 541 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: be just fine. I got a question of about the 542 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: temperature rating, and it operates from negative four degrees to 543 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty degrees, so pretty much. Maybe some 544 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 1: places in America might be outside of that range, but 545 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: that's gonna cover a lot of people. And for this 546 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: price forty bucks, you probably set it up and see 547 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:17,880 Speaker 1: if it works, I mean, if it's not gonna work, 548 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 1: if it if it bottoms out, well, you're only out 549 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 1: a couple bucks. The device is fifty dollars for a 550 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,199 Speaker 1: starter kit because this does require a base station, and 551 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 1: the base station to me, it looks like it has 552 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: to plug in via Ethernet, so there are some caveats 553 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 1: to this little setup. But with that said, you can 554 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: hook up to four cameras to a base station. So 555 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: if you want to put a wireless camera on all 556 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: four corners of your home, you can now do this 557 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 1: for under four times three is one twenty plus fifty 558 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy dollars. And by the way, the 559 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: monthly service is free. So the way they do that, 560 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: which nobody believed me by the way, when this first 561 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: came out, is they give you fourteen days of rolling 562 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: cloud storage. So what does that mean. That means that 563 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 1: this thing is not live streaming to the cloud twenty 564 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: four to seven. It just isn't going to be able 565 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: to do that on a battery. But when it senses 566 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: motion or people, this has a people detection. When it 567 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: senses a person walking by or motion, you can set 568 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: how you want it to react. It will record a 569 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: clip and then it will send that clip to the cloud. 570 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: That clip is saved for fourteen days and it's rolling, 571 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: so that clip is deleted after fourteen days. Now, can 572 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: you buy extra storage in the cloud, I'm sure you can. 573 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: Can you have local storage on this Yes, you can, 574 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: up to thirty two gigabytes. You can put in a 575 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: micro SD card. But again, and the battery is gonna 576 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 1: last three to six months? Now, I always think it's 577 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: probably gonna last closer that three months. Six is probably 578 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: if nobody's walking in front of this thing. But I 579 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: would say three months. So you are gonna have to 580 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: get up on a ladder, depending on how you mount 581 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: this thing, pop it off there it's magnetic, and charge 582 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: it up every couple of months. I do that with 583 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: my ring doorbell. It's fine, I do it. I actually 584 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: have two batteries for it, so I just keep one 585 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 1: charging and then when I have to pop it out, 586 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: which I can never remember how to take the front 587 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: off of the ring doorbell for some reason. But anyway, 588 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: I pop it out and I put the new one in, 589 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: and it's just fine. And of course the battery doesn't 590 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: last as long as it used to. When ring first 591 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: came out, it was almost as if you could have 592 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: that battery in there forever and it would just work. 593 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: But now they've added a lot of new features to 594 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: the ring video doorbell, and the battery gets used up 595 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: much quicker than it ever has in the past. So 596 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 1: the wise outdoor cam. What else do you want to 597 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: know about it? Let's see, it's small, it looks like 598 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: the old camera, the standard one. It's got one hundred 599 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: and twenty eight megabytes on board memory. The battery is 600 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: there's two batteries inside, twenty six millionmp hours, two of those, 601 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: so there's you know, so that's for fifty two hundred 602 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: million hours. It's kind of like a cell phone, a 603 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: little bit bigger than cell phones are limited to five 604 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: thousand million hours, so it's a little bit bigger resolution, 605 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: night vision up to twenty five feet, let's see eight 606 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 1: times digital zoom. It's got Ethernet. Oh, the base station, yes, 607 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 1: has Ethernet on board and wireless, so maybe I don't know. 608 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: I think from what I could tell, it looked like 609 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: you had to put the Ethernet into the base station, 610 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: so that could be a catch for a lot of people, 611 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: but you'll figure it out. There's also this weird offline 612 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: travel mode, so you can take this with you and 613 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: put it, they say, in your hotel room, which I 614 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: guess if you want to keep an eye on, like 615 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: who's cleaning your room while you're not there? That's kind 616 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: of weird. And then you can also do time lapses 617 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: of says bring it on vacation, or take time lapses 618 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: of your campsite while sleeping under the stars. That's also 619 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: kind of strange. But I guess, you know, if you're 620 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: expecting a bear to interrupt you at your camp sence. 621 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, but that's the wisecam and I would 622 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: definitely I can't wait to test this thing out because 623 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 1: for forty dollars or fifty dollars, that is a fantastic 624 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: value when it comes to home security. There are other 625 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: cameras that are pretty cheap. The Blink cameras from Amazon 626 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,719 Speaker 1: are pretty cheap, so are the Ring cameras. But you're 627 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: still talking with the Ring at least you know. I 628 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 1: saw I think it was a three pack for two 629 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: point fifty for their stick up cam that's wireless outside, 630 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: so this is still significantly cheaper. Babs writes in Hey, Rich, 631 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: can you please explain why iPhone users were not given 632 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: the option to accept or reject or made aware of 633 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 1: the COVID tracker now under health that came with the 634 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: latest iOS update. You need an app for it to 635 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 1: actually work, but shouldn't have Apple asked permission. Plus they 636 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: don't let you know what the corresponding app is. Hmmm. 637 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: I have gotten so many questions about this, And whenever 638 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 1: I get a lot of questions about something, I know 639 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 1: that it is making the rounds on social media, and 640 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: usually what happens on social media, only one portion of 641 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: the story is being given out. So people put a 642 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: and some people send me the screenshot so I see 643 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: them and it'll be like this has been installed on 644 00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: your phone secretly by the government. What to? How dare they? 645 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 1: And there's a story behind everything. And again this is 646 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 1: me coming out as a journalist saying I've done my 647 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: research on this. I've talked to Apple about this, We've 648 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 1: heard from Google about this. This is a joint effort 649 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: and here's the real deal. Yes, with the latest operating 650 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 1: systems on Android and iOS, they introduced what's called contact tracing, 651 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: and this is Apple and Google's hope or I guess, 652 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 1: attempt at helping stem the pandemic. And what they did 653 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: was they came up with a system that does not 654 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 1: use location. That's number one. It does not use personally 655 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: identifiable information about you. In fact, all it does is 656 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: send out a Bluetooth beacon from your phone and from 657 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 1: everyone else's phones. And when you walk past a phone, 658 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 1: or you spend a certain amount of time with someone 659 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: in a room at a certain distance from them, and 660 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 1: again it's not using location. It's using Bluetooth low energy, 661 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 1: which measures the distance between you and the other person. 662 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,239 Speaker 1: It will record that person's number, and then if that 663 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 1: person says, oh, shoot, I got coronavirus, they will flag 664 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 1: their number in the database, and your phone says, oh, 665 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,399 Speaker 1: I have that number of my database, and it will 666 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 1: tell you that, hey, someone who came in contact with 667 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: has coronavirus. It doesn't give you their name, doesn't tell 668 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,359 Speaker 1: you when. Maybe it tells you the time and the date, 669 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 1: but it does not tell you. It does not tell 670 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: you the location. Now, with all that said, it's not 671 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 1: secretly tracking you. In fact, in the US, at least, 672 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 1: there really are no apps that take advantage of this. 673 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 1: There's three states that have signed on and that's about it. 674 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: And I believe it's like North Dakota, South Dakota and 675 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 1: maybe Alabama or something, but again not California, where a 676 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 1: majority of my listenership is from. California did not sign 677 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: on to this. They don't have a COVID tracing app 678 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: as far as I know right now, the WHO does 679 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: not have one, the CDC does not have one. There's 680 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 1: no nationwide app. So the reason why BABS is saying 681 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: you need an app but they're not telling you what 682 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,439 Speaker 1: the corresponding app is is because there really aren't any 683 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 1: now now. I do think in the future, if companies 684 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 1: decide to build an app or organizations decide to build 685 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 1: an app that takes advantage of this system, which I'm 686 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 1: not sure if this is effective or not. I think 687 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: it would be if people used it, but it's opt 688 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,800 Speaker 1: in and so nobody has to use it. So again, 689 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,360 Speaker 1: I would think that Apple would put the list of 690 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 1: apps inside that little area so that you can see 691 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: which apps would activate this feature. I don't think they're 692 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: doing that just yet. But if you want to see 693 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: this feature on your phone, yes it's there and no, 694 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,400 Speaker 1: it's not active for ninety nine point nine percent of you. 695 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 1: You can go into your settings on the iPhone. Let's 696 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:40,399 Speaker 1: see under oh, gosh, is it privacy? And then let's 697 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 1: see health and then COVID nineteen exposure logging and it 698 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: should say off and it says no installed app. And 699 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: there's not even a place to find apps right now. 700 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,759 Speaker 1: I assume they should have some links to apps in 701 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 1: the future. But that's the explanation. On Android, it's in 702 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 1: different places, but I have gotten some screenshots from folks 703 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,719 Speaker 1: on Android. I will do a story on this on 704 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 1: TV so I can explain this to people. And here's 705 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: the world we live in now, with all the fake 706 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 1: news and this stuff. I am a journalist that does 707 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,399 Speaker 1: do research and I do try to present stuff on 708 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: TV that is factual. I mean, for twenty years now, 709 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 1: that has been my goal is to not to lie 710 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,399 Speaker 1: to people on TV. I'm trying to do my best 711 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,280 Speaker 1: at that and I have. But it is so crazy, 712 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 1: which this is a change that is not you know, 713 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,319 Speaker 1: it's pretty new that people don't believe the stuff that 714 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,319 Speaker 1: I even post to my social media. And it used 715 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: to be if you saw a journalists post something, you 716 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: would believe it. But I get it. There are so 717 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: many opinions out there that are masquerading as fact. There 718 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: are so many people out there that just talk and 719 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,799 Speaker 1: put stuff out there without any sort of basis to 720 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,400 Speaker 1: whether it's true or false. That I get why you 721 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,560 Speaker 1: might not believe me And you don't know who I 722 00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,319 Speaker 1: am if you're just scrolling through and someone shared one 723 00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: of my posts on your page, And are you going 724 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 1: to go through the effort of looking up who I 725 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 1: am and verifying that I'm actually on TV because I 726 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 1: say I am, and verifying that I know what I'm 727 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,839 Speaker 1: talking about. No, And so I get it. But it's 728 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 1: we live in a very tricky time right now for information. 729 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 1: And with that said, let me tell you one thing 730 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 1: that Facebook is doing. You hear them all my papers here, 731 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 1: I've got so much stuff. Let's see, do I have 732 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,839 Speaker 1: it here? No? I don't, Okay, Well, I know that 733 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 1: Facebook is doing something where oh here it is. Facebook 734 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 1: is rolling out a new Facebook. You know, they got 735 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,400 Speaker 1: drugged through the mud when it came to the twenty 736 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: sixteen election, and you know, Facebook is making sure they're 737 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: doing everything in their power to not be blamed for 738 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,360 Speaker 1: anything when it comes to fake news and all this 739 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,720 Speaker 1: stuff in the future. And so they just keep making 740 00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,480 Speaker 1: these changes and one of them is now they are 741 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,319 Speaker 1: rolling out a notification screen. So if you try to 742 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 1: share an article that's more than ninety days old, they'll say, WHOA, 743 00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,320 Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, are you sure you want to 744 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,959 Speaker 1: share that? That article is more than ninety days old? 745 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 1: And so you can decide if you want to share 746 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 1: that or not to make sure that people are sharing 747 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:12,920 Speaker 1: relevant new information. And it's just again, it's just a 748 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 1: sign of our times where it's tough. All right, I 749 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:17,320 Speaker 1: do have a lot more to go through here and 750 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:21,239 Speaker 1: shows almost over. I can't believe it. Google, this is 751 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 1: a new one. Google is privacy. Privacy is big. Google 752 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 1: is introducing new controls that they are well, they're introducing 753 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 1: a new protocol for saving your data. So they are 754 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 1: now going to save data but for eighteen months by default. 755 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,920 Speaker 1: And data. This is not your Gmail, This is not 756 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 1: your photos, not your calendar. This is your location data, 757 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 1: your search history, your voice data, and your YouTube activity data. 758 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,480 Speaker 1: So by default, when you open up a Google account, 759 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 1: they will just keep that information for eighteen months. And again, 760 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 1: you know that Google relies on this data to help 761 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 1: personalize the service, to help sell you stuff, to help 762 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,799 Speaker 1: you create ads, whatever, to help just market to you. 763 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,760 Speaker 1: They want to know as much about you as possible, 764 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 1: and of course as a consumer, you want them. You 765 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,400 Speaker 1: want to ride this line of I want when I 766 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 1: start searching for something in Google Maps for them to 767 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,400 Speaker 1: know the restaurant that I just searched for yesterday, because 768 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,239 Speaker 1: then it'll come up quicker, or the place I search 769 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:19,799 Speaker 1: for that I want to go on vacation because then 770 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 1: they can target you know, vacation ads to me, or 771 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 1: you know, more information about the place I'm going to. 772 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 1: But at the same time, I don't want them to 773 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,920 Speaker 1: retain this stuff forever. So now it will be deleted 774 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:34,080 Speaker 1: after eighteen months. But here is the catch. This is 775 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 1: only for new Google accounts. And guess what, over a 776 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: billion people have Google accounts, So if you're one of 777 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 1: those billion people, you have to go in and change 778 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: this manually. Now I did a step by step on 779 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,839 Speaker 1: my Instagram at richontech on how to do that. It's 780 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 1: quite easy. In fact, all you have to do is 781 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,719 Speaker 1: go to myactivity dot Google dot com. You tap the menu, 782 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,120 Speaker 1: you go to activity controls and there's an option for 783 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,440 Speaker 1: auto delete right now on my it says off. You 784 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 1: tap it and it says auto delete activity older than 785 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:08,160 Speaker 1: three months, Auto delete activity older than eighteen months, or 786 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 1: you can just leave it on off. I would recommend 787 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,040 Speaker 1: three months if you're really worried about your privacy, eighteen 788 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,040 Speaker 1: months if you're like me and you actually value some 789 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:22,320 Speaker 1: of the personalizations that Google has. I've actually kept this 790 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:26,320 Speaker 1: on indefinitely for right now because it's like, it's sad 791 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,360 Speaker 1: for me to like give up all my Google Search 792 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 1: history because even when you look through it, you can see, like, 793 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,239 Speaker 1: you know, like I can go back and see the 794 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 1: voice commands I said to Google when I first had 795 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,719 Speaker 1: my kid, and you know, back in the day a 796 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,840 Speaker 1: couple of years ago. I mean, how crazy is that? 797 00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,799 Speaker 1: So it's weird, I know. But again, it's good to 798 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,799 Speaker 1: have this choice, and it's good that they're actually going 799 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 1: to turn this on by default for new accounts, so 800 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,399 Speaker 1: again I'll put the link to how to do that. 801 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,759 Speaker 1: For YouTube, it's still going to remain thirty six months 802 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,520 Speaker 1: by default, and that makes sense because on YouTube, they're 803 00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,880 Speaker 1: trying to give you recommended videos, and the more information 804 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,120 Speaker 1: they have about what you're watching, the better recommendations you get. 805 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,840 Speaker 1: And they're also making it easier to access incognito mode. 806 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,840 Speaker 1: So from now on, when you see your little Google 807 00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:15,080 Speaker 1: logo or your profile picture on a Google app on 808 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 1: iOS and Android, you can just long press that picture 809 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,439 Speaker 1: and it will bring you into incognito mode. This will 810 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:25,839 Speaker 1: work on Google App, maps, and YouTube now. Right now 811 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,799 Speaker 1: it's only active on iOS for the Google app, but 812 00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,440 Speaker 1: it will be across all the the maps, the YouTube, 813 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 1: and the Google App on iOS and Android in the 814 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:46,600 Speaker 1: near future. All right, let's see one more question. Uh Jackie, Gosh, 815 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,440 Speaker 1: she'se are all iPhone? So many people have iPhone questions? 816 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 1: There always iPhone? All right, let's do this one from Jennifer. 817 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,840 Speaker 1: She says, I lost my iPhone over the weekend. It 818 00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:00,440 Speaker 1: turns out someone found it and returned it. Anyway, I 819 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,319 Speaker 1: bought another phone, changed my plan, even got a five 820 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,880 Speaker 1: dollars iPad out of the deal. Okay, that's cool, but 821 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,560 Speaker 1: of course you're going to be paying the data on that. 822 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 1: I bet sort of too late to go back. But 823 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 1: what should I do with my old phone? Other than 824 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 1: a tiny chip in the top right corner it works perfectly. 825 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,440 Speaker 1: Should I fix the screen and sell it? Or forget 826 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,799 Speaker 1: fixing the screen and just try to sell it? Where 827 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,160 Speaker 1: would you sell it? Well, you've got a couple options. Yeah, 828 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:24,719 Speaker 1: you're definitely not going to go back. You probably don't 829 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:26,680 Speaker 1: want to return the new phone by now. I assume 830 00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:30,280 Speaker 1: you also upgraded your phone. But I would do two things. 831 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 1: Number One, if you don't care about the money, you 832 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 1: can keep this as a backup phone. So if something 833 00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,560 Speaker 1: ever happens to your new iPhone, you've got a backup device, 834 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:40,840 Speaker 1: and that is not a bad thing to have just 835 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 1: sitting around the house. You can always use a different 836 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,440 Speaker 1: an old iPhone for something, even if it's like a 837 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:50,279 Speaker 1: music player or a remote control whatever. Now, if you'd 838 00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,279 Speaker 1: like to just rid this thing of your life, you 839 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,040 Speaker 1: do have to erase all your data from it. Make 840 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 1: sure you do that now. The way that I have 841 00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,359 Speaker 1: sold old iPhones in the past, if I'm not keeping them, 842 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:03,000 Speaker 1: is to friends and family because it's so easy. You 843 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,680 Speaker 1: don't have to deal with eBay, you don't have to 844 00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,879 Speaker 1: deal with a third party website. Someone out there on 845 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,799 Speaker 1: your social networks needs a new phone. Now, I don't 846 00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,399 Speaker 1: know how old this phone is, so but you never know. 847 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 1: There's a lot of people out there, and in my 848 00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,880 Speaker 1: history I have posted I can remember at least twice 849 00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,360 Speaker 1: where boom. People buy these things in seconds and the 850 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:23,920 Speaker 1: good news is you're selling it to a friend, so 851 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,759 Speaker 1: it's easier. You can just give it to them, or 852 00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,319 Speaker 1: I should say get it to them because you can 853 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 1: you can make money off the deal, or I should 854 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 1: say you should there should be a transaction unless you're 855 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,319 Speaker 1: giving it to them. I've given phones to friends and 856 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:40,240 Speaker 1: family as well. But just make a post on Facebook 857 00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:41,959 Speaker 1: or Instagram and say, hey, I've got my old phone. 858 00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:44,920 Speaker 1: Hey it's the screen is chipped, if you want to 859 00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,280 Speaker 1: do it that way, or you can get the screen 860 00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,200 Speaker 1: fixed if you want to be really nice and get 861 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 1: a little bit more money for it. But you have 862 00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,440 Speaker 1: to kind of take everything into consideration, see how much 863 00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,920 Speaker 1: it is to get this thing repaired, and factor all 864 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,840 Speaker 1: that in. Also to get kind of an idea of 865 00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:59,640 Speaker 1: the price you should charge for this phone. I would 866 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,880 Speaker 1: just go on a site like Swapa or eBay and 867 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,239 Speaker 1: see what people are charging for that phone, whether it's 868 00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,160 Speaker 1: cracked or not cracked. And then if it's friends and family, 869 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,319 Speaker 1: you're not gonna charge the same amount because the reason 870 00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,600 Speaker 1: you're selling to friends and family, Let's say you probably 871 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,920 Speaker 1: want to take ten percent off the price because by 872 00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,719 Speaker 1: the time you give eBay their cut and ship it out, 873 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,360 Speaker 1: you know, you're talking ten to twenty percent of the 874 00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 1: price of the purchase price, and you know, collect the payment, 875 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,160 Speaker 1: so you can offer this to your friends at a 876 00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:30,600 Speaker 1: discount at a lower price than they would purchase it 877 00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:34,319 Speaker 1: from eBay four. So that would be my advice, you know, 878 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,880 Speaker 1: And if you need to get it fixed, actually, Swapa 879 00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,719 Speaker 1: has a new repair section of their website where you 880 00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:43,759 Speaker 1: can find a repair place that has a thirty day guarantee. 881 00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,000 Speaker 1: So you can go to swapa dot com slash repair, 882 00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,120 Speaker 1: or you can check out a U break I Fix, 883 00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:49,960 Speaker 1: I like that place there in a lot of areas, 884 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,319 Speaker 1: and that's another way you can do it. All right, 885 00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,920 Speaker 1: show is almost is pretty much over, so I'm just 886 00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 1: gonna get through two more stories real quick, just so 887 00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:02,880 Speaker 1: you guys are up to date. Microsoft Store is closing sadly, 888 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,759 Speaker 1: all physical locations or a majority of physical locations of 889 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,080 Speaker 1: the Microsoft Store are closing, and they paint a Rosie 890 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,960 Speaker 1: picture for the retail team members that work there. So 891 00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:14,759 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're losing their jobs or they're 892 00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:16,920 Speaker 1: going to move on to different positions in the company, 893 00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:18,799 Speaker 1: but they say they're kind of going to go to 894 00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:24,800 Speaker 1: corporate facilities or continue to serve customers remotely, providing sales, 895 00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:28,600 Speaker 1: training and support. So I guess Microsoft decided they don't 896 00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,239 Speaker 1: really need these stores. And if you ever went to 897 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:34,000 Speaker 1: a mall where there's a Microsoft store and an Apple store, 898 00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,400 Speaker 1: it's kind of sad because the Apple store would be 899 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,960 Speaker 1: packed and the Microsoft store would be empty, and it's 900 00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,920 Speaker 1: just I don't know, you know, And it's probably because 901 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,160 Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of the people in the Apple store 902 00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,040 Speaker 1: there for an iPhone, and then they see an iPad, 903 00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:51,919 Speaker 1: and then they see maccomputer and then they see all 904 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,640 Speaker 1: these other things and they just get it. Whereas with Microsoft, 905 00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:58,440 Speaker 1: most people have a Microsoft computer and that's about it. 906 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,360 Speaker 1: They don't need to go in for repairs and questions 907 00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,400 Speaker 1: and things all the time, so they just Microsoft just 908 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,239 Speaker 1: has a different business. So they are going to keep 909 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,360 Speaker 1: Microsoft Experience centers in London, New York, Sydney, and on 910 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:13,200 Speaker 1: their campus in Redmond, Washington, but that's it. And the 911 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,040 Speaker 1: stores have been closed since late March, which means it's 912 00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,640 Speaker 1: kind of sad that they're just not going to reopen, 913 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:23,120 Speaker 1: which is really really crazy. So that's sad. And on 914 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,719 Speaker 1: a final note, Google nest Hub Max, I don't know 915 00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,440 Speaker 1: how many of you have one of these, but if 916 00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,239 Speaker 1: you do, they've added some pretty cool features. You can 917 00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:35,279 Speaker 1: now do group calling, which is really cool. So you 918 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,920 Speaker 1: can say, h, Google, make a group call, and you 919 00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:39,719 Speaker 1: have to set up your groups in duo on the 920 00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:41,920 Speaker 1: app first before you do this on the screen, But 921 00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:45,239 Speaker 1: once you do, you can meet with those people on 922 00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 1: duo and Duo is up to thirty two people. But 923 00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:49,360 Speaker 1: if you really want to take it to the next level, 924 00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:51,440 Speaker 1: you can connect with up to one hundred people on 925 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:55,040 Speaker 1: Google Meet right from this little nest Hub Max. And 926 00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,839 Speaker 1: if you're not familiar with the Nest Hub Max, this 927 00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:01,239 Speaker 1: is their smart display that's also smart speaker, but it 928 00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,160 Speaker 1: also has a camera inside and the screen is a 929 00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:06,200 Speaker 1: little bit bigger, and this is really really cool. You 930 00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,440 Speaker 1: can also have a speed dial for your contact so 931 00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:10,719 Speaker 1: you can call them from this thing. But here's my 932 00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:14,319 Speaker 1: favorite part is that you can use Google Meet to 933 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,880 Speaker 1: start your meeting and you can just say h Google, 934 00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:18,920 Speaker 1: start a meeting to connect with up to one hundred 935 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,760 Speaker 1: people on Google Meet. Or you can say join a meeting, 936 00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,279 Speaker 1: or you can say join my next meeting if your 937 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,680 Speaker 1: meeting is in your calendar, and it will just automatically 938 00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:28,320 Speaker 1: do that. Now, why do I think that's so cool 939 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,359 Speaker 1: is because let's say you had one of these things 940 00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,720 Speaker 1: on your desk, it now frees up your computer because 941 00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:35,560 Speaker 1: you can type on your computer and do all that stuff. 942 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,640 Speaker 1: But you're joining your meeting, your group meeting from the 943 00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:42,080 Speaker 1: nest hub Max. I'm saying all this with the reality 944 00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,680 Speaker 1: that nobody's using Google Meet except people that are forced to, 945 00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,360 Speaker 1: perhaps from their organization, and ninety nine point nine percent 946 00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,919 Speaker 1: of people are actually just using Zoom. So I wish 947 00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,280 Speaker 1: that Google would have enabled Zoom functionality on there because 948 00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,560 Speaker 1: it would have been a game changer and people probably 949 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:00,839 Speaker 1: would have bought these things for that. But again, there 950 00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:04,000 Speaker 1: are two competing companies, and everything we have nowadays with 951 00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:07,399 Speaker 1: technology has to live in a silo by some unspoken rules. 952 00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:10,880 Speaker 1: So sadly we're all being pushed to silos, and I 953 00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:14,960 Speaker 1: don't see a day where nest hub Max is going 954 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 1: to work with Zoom. So sadly, all right, that's gonna 955 00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:21,319 Speaker 1: do it for this episode of the show. Can you 956 00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,560 Speaker 1: believe it's over? I've got some housekeeping. I was on 957 00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:29,040 Speaker 1: Brian Tong's Apple Bits XL podcast, So if you know 958 00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:30,560 Speaker 1: Brian Tong, him and I used to work at c 959 00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 1: neet together and he went off on his own became 960 00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,520 Speaker 1: very successful as a YouTuber. I couldn't believe. I just 961 00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,160 Speaker 1: checked his Twitter and wow, he's got a lot of 962 00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:42,799 Speaker 1: Twitter followers.
