WEBVTT - iPhone Home Screen gets a makeover in iOS 14 0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:14.160 New features coming soon to Apple products, including iOS fourteen, 0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:19.520 Wise Cam does it again? Google now auto delete search 0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:22.920 and location data after eighteen months. But there is a catch. 0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:27.360 Plus your tech questions answered? What's going on? I'm Rich Demiro. 0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:30.120 This is Rich on Tech, the podcast where I talk 0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:32.720 about the tech stuff I think you should know about, 0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:35.400 and it's also the place where I answer the questions 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:39.400 that you send me What's going on? I already said 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:42.280 that if you don't know who I am, I'm Rich Demiro, 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:46.600 tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. Usually 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:50.239 producer Megan accompanies me on this show. She is on vacation. 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:54.040 I hope she's enjoying a much needed break. I know 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:56.319 I got one a couple of weeks ago, exactly two 0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.480 weeks ago, and it felt pretty good to be on 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:02.160 the open road and just do a little road trip. 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:04.080 It was a little, you know, a little scary with 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:07.800 the whole coronavirus stuff going around, and you know, it 0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:11.000 was it was different, but we did survive, and we 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:16.720 took all the precautions necessary and wearing masks and sanitizing 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:20.920 and Clorox wipes everywhere, but we did it and it 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:22.679 was fun and I think that is going to be 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:25.160 the only way that people really travel this summer is 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:28.360 by road trip. So just talk to a cool guy 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:33.800 named Josh who actually does a website and a YouTube 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:38.119 channel called California through my Lens. So he just did 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.520 a road trip and he makes a living by going 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:42.400 to different places, and for like a couple of months 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:44.840 he just stopped and he finally did a road trip 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:48.040 recently and we were talking about it. And by the way, 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:49.760 he was one of these people that when you talk 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.320 to you just kind of connect with like everything he said, 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.600 like I liked as well, so I feel like him 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:56.960 and I should be friends. So I'm gonna once the 0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:01.560 pandemic is over, hopefully it's over soon. Once that's over 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.040 and you can actually do normal things again, definitely gonna 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:06.400 hang out with Josh and and just kind of see 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:09.280 if we can be buddies because it's pretty cool. He 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:13.680 cool story too. He actually quit his job to do 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.280 a blog and then YouTube and it's been five years. 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:18.600 So anyway, I tell you this because he's gonna be 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:21.200 on KTLA in one of my segments about road tripping, 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:24.240 and he had some great information. By the way, if 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:25.880 you follow me on Twitter, you might have seen that. 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.760 I tweeted a picture from our story that we were 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:32.120 shooting the other day, and I'm at richon tech on Twitter, 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:33.680 and I did it in front of it. We shot 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:35.440 in front of Pasadena City Hall because I thought that 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:37.680 was like a kind of a cool looking location. And 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.120 all these people start tweeting me back saying, oh my gosh, 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.400 you're in Pawnee, and I'm like, what Pawnee like parks 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:47.320 and rec And sure enough, parks and Rec. I guess 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:50.600 that's where they do the exterior for the city hall. 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.160 But which is kind of funny because this isn't Wasn't 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.320 that city like a tiny little city and that's such 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:58.240 a grand city hall. Maybe that's part of the joke. 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.040 But anyway, I had no idea, even though I watched 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:03.359 that show. I love that show. In fact, I was 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.560 out to dinner once and the oh my gosh, you 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:09.360 now I'm blanking on her name, the lead woman. She 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.280 was out to dinner with us in the restaurant. This 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:16.160 was a long time ago. Anyway, I digress. We're talking 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:19.560 about technology. There's a lot of stuff happening this week, 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:26.400 and WWDC twenty was the big event. Now it's thirty 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.720 one years, which is pretty wild. Apple says this is 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.800 the biggest WWDC today. I don't know where they got that, 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:37.040 but I guess technically it is because there's more developers 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:40.720 than ever, twenty three million Apple developers. And this year 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:42.320 it was kind of cool because they all got to 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:44.440 attend if they wanted to, because it was all virtual, 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:48.160 so everyone got to see this stuff if they wanted to, 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:51.720 and the entire keynote was virtual as well, and we 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:55.360 learned a lot about what the future of the iPhone 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.280 is going to hold, not just the iPhone, but all 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:00.400 kinds of gadgets from Apple and just some number on 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:03.560 the app Store launched in two thousand and eight. Can 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.520 you believe that? So the first iPhone didn't have the 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:09.440 App Store, which now seems crazy. Two million apps on there, 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:14.000 five hundred and nineteen billion dollars in billiing and sales 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:18.920 in twenty nineteen. Wow, And that's all just virtual. It's 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.800 all just digital. It doesn't even exist in real life 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:25.840 except in bits wild. All right, let's talk about the 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.799 biggest thing that is going to affect the most people, 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:32.760 which is iOS fourteen. And I installed iOS fourteen, a 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:36.560 developer edition on a spare iPhone. You're not supposed to 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.279 put this on your main one, although I really really 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:42.640 want to because it just looks so cool and it 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.080 brings so many of the features that I want on 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.159 the iPhone, and the two biggest features are widgets on 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:52.520 the home screen. And also you can finally stop organizing 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:56.200 your apps. So I only organized my first two pages 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:59.320 of apps, and then I just, you know, declare bankruptcy 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:00.920 on the rest, and they I'll just float on the 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.839 extra pages as they go along, and I just don't 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:05.720 care because I'll just search for an app. Most of 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.440 the time after my first page. I'm not even using 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.479 those apps except maybe once in a while, and so 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.960 I don't need them all in little folders and perfectly 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:18.320 figured out and set up. So Apple is now letting 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.320 us do something called the app library, which if you've 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.080 ever had an Android phone, that's called the app drawer. 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.679 You swipe up and you can see all your apps 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.160 in alphabetical order, or you can sort them the way 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.920 you want on certain launchers, but anyway, on iPhone, it's 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.280 all going to be organized. So when you get to 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.320 your last page, all of the apps will be in 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:41.520 an app library that lets you see the apps organized 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.719 by Apple into categories, so all your communication apps, all 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:48.799 your entertainment apps, whatever, and then you have if you swipe, 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:51.080 I think it's down from that screen or up. It's 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.640 very complicated to get used to it. But then you 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:55.760 have a list of all your apps in alphabetical order. 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.920 So the good news is you can also delete home screens. 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:00.880 You only have to have one home screen now, so 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:03.400 for me, I'm just gonna have two home screens. My 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:05.720 main apps, my secondary apps, and the rest are all 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.800 going to live in that app library. Other notable improvements 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:13.200 to iOS fourteen phone calls and FaceTime calls when they 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:15.279 come in do not take up your entire screen, which 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:19.279 is kind of nice and picture and picture so you 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.599 can watch a video like a YouTube video, or you 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:23.520 can do FaceTime. And this happened to me the other day. 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:27.200 I'm sitting there and I'm facetiming. I think it was 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.360 my sister and I want to look something up, and 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:32.880 I swipe down to you to or bring up an app, 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:35.440 and she goes away, and I'm like, wait, what that 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:37.400 seems kind of crazy And it just didn't even occur 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.560 to me because I don't use FaceTime that often that 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:42.920 they didn't have picture and picture, and sure enough that's there. 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:45.640 When it comes to messages, you can now pin a 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:49.040 conversation to the top, which I love. I use Telegram 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.279 for a lot of my conversations and I pin the 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:53.520 most important ones to the top. I can finally do 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.280 that in messages, although for the majority of people that 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:58.960 I talk to the most, I don't use I message anymore. 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:04.120 See you can mention and you can also do inline replies, 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.960 so if you're having a long conversation with someone and 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:08.599 you want to reply to something they said, you know, 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:12.280 three lines up, you can finally do that. What else 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:16.600 maps There are cycling directions that doesn't really appeal to me, 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.800 but ev directions is kind of cool. So you can 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:23.000 route based on your you know, availability of charging stations. 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.640 If you have an electric car, digital car key, so 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.280 you can use your iPhone as a key for your car, 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.720 which I think is really cool. And I know I 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:33.600 did a story about this on KTLA, and of course 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:35.680 all the comments come in about how it's not going 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:37.880 to be safe and what if you lose your phone 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:41.000 and what if your phone dies? And yes, of course 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.600 Apple has thought of all of these things. And if 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.240 you lose your phone, yeah, that's tricky because you don't 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:48.200 have your phone, but I believe you'll be able to 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:50.360 do it with your watch as well, so you still 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.840 have your watch hopefully if you have a watch. I mean, 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.280 I'm not assuming everyone out there has an Apple Watch 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.840 as an iPhone, but if you do, that's one way. 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:02.040 You can also share keys with friends. So maybe with 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:05.000 your spouse or significant other, you share a key and 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.440 you know, hopefully they didn't lose their phone as well. 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:09.320 But that's the beauty of this. If you ever lose 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:12.760 a real key fob, you're gonna you're paying a couple 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.080 hundred bucks. Now, if you lose your iPhone, yes, that's 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.040 definitely a problem, but you have ways of finding it, 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.480 like find my iPhone. So there are pros and cons 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:23.960 to everything, But personally, I love the idea of one 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:26.160 less thing to carry around. So I've got electronic door 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:29.520 locks on my house and now I've got my phone 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:32.480 working as a key. I'm just saying theoretically, so I 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.920 don't even have to carry keys around anymore. How cool 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:39.400 is that? I love it. That's gonna happen actually in July, 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:43.720 starting with the BMW five series, and it's gonna expand 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:46.240 to other BMW's. And this isn't just Apple, by the way, 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:48.440 and it's not just iPhone. This is going to be 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.280 something that happens in the future. There's a big consortium 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:54.400 of all how do you say that word consortium? Consortium? 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:57.760 I don't know. Let's see. Let's see what Google says consortium. 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:01.880 Let's see how to pronounce that consortium. There's a big 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:08.680 consortium of companies and this includes you know, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Volkswagen, 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:12.520 so Samsung. So believe me, Google wasn't on there though. 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:16.000 So but these companies want to make the phone everything 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.080 and they will continue on their way of doing that. 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:22.720 All right, let's get to let's get to the first 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:25.280 question here. Usually producer Megan would chime in here with 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.080 the first question, but it's going to be me. You 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:31.240 get all me for this podcast. Let's start with don 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:33.280 Don says, I have a question I guess I should 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.600 know the answer to, but I do not, And some 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:39.400 others I've asked don't either. It seems pretty simple. This morning, 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:41.800 Sam Rubin had a segment that's our entertainment guy at 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:45.120 KTLA on a new movie called irresistible and stated it 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:48.600 as being released on video on demand. Okay, how does 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:51.679 one find VOD? Is it a streaming service? I have 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:55.240 a Samsung Q ninety, top of the line on this stuff, 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.800 and the caves and canyons of online streaming is endless. 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:01.040 One friend says, may it's something you get on your 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.320 smartphone or iPad and watch it there, not on your 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.720 big screen. What's the use of that? This seems like 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:08.040 a catch twenty two. You have to know. But how 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:11.760 by some strange brew of mental osmosis, is this a 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.360 paid streamer like Disney or Amazon or something you find 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:16.840 magically somewhere hidden in the canyons of mystery? He liked 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:20.600 that word canyons seems like something I should understand, but 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:25.560 short of geekiness. Thanks Don, It's a good question, and 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.360 I don I get it. I think that this is 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.400 it's something that like I would take for granted, but 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:36.560 I would not. I would not automatically assume everyone knows 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:38.520 how to get a movie that's VOD. And this is 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.400 new for these video on demand movies that are being 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:45.480 released straight to demand. Video on demand has been around forever, 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:49.000 mostly on cable boxes, but there is a weird delineation 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:52.480 nowadays that you have sort of picked up upon. And 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:55.000 we've got two things going on right now. You've got 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:58.240 streaming services, which ninety nine point nine percent of the 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:03.400 conversation is about all the time, Netflix, Disney Plus, Quibi 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:08.360 even what are some of the other ones, Hulu, Hbo 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:12.160 and those are services that you pay a monthly fee 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:14.720 for and then you get to watch as much as 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:16.840 you want. It's the all you can eat kind of method, 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:21.000 and that's what most people do. Then you have something else, 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:24.240 which is you can buy a digital copy of a movie. 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:26.719 You can rent a digital copy of a movie, and 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:31.160 examples of this include the iTunes Store, include Google Play Store, 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:34.040 Google Play Movies, I should say, and there's a whole 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.880 bunch of other ones. There's Voodoo, there's Microsoft, There's a 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.240 whole bunch of ways to buy movies. Now here's where 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:43.480 it gets really confusing. Amazon Prime Video is a way 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:46.440 to get subscription stuff because it's including an Amazon Prime 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:50.680 but it's also has paid movies as well, and so 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:53.839 I think that's where it gets a little complicated. And 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:57.520 the bottom line for your TV, a Samsung TV, I 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:00.480 believe you'll just have to look for the app on 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:04.080 that TV that actually sells or rents movies, and that 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.880 won't be Netflix, that won't be Disney Plus, that will 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:10.400 be something like I'm guessing because it's running Android or 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:14.079 a version of that, maybe something like Google Play Movie Store, 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:17.880 so look for that. Maybe Samsung has their own movie store. 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:20.720 I don't think so. But it gets really complicated because 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.520 you have like the Apple TV app on your TV, 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:27.520 perhaps you have a new Samsung, and you can't rent 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:29.959 or buy anything through it. You can only view stuff 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:32.160 through it, So I get it. Don It has become 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:34.920 a little bit confusing, and to be honest, a lot 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:38.280 of people aren't buying movies. They're just watching what's on streaming, 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:40.240 So when these new movies come out, it takes a 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:42.720 little bit of figuring out. We watched the new Trolls 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:46.320 movie on Fandango now, which who knew that that was 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:48.199 sort of a streaming service that you can buy and 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:51.400 rent movies on. But yes you can. So I think 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.760 that's a good question. And for me personally, I do 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:58.000 everything in my power to not purchase or rent movies 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:01.280 anymore because there are just so many services that I 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:04.200 pay for that I would rather watch a movie that 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.640 I pay for. That a movie that's streaming on a 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:08.559 service I already pay for. And I know I've mentioned 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:12.559 this before, but two ways to find movies on services 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:15.439 that you're already paying for. The first is an app 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:19.480 called Real Good are e E, L g oo D, 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.719 and you pop in all the services that you subscribe to, 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.840 and they slice and dice this in a million different ways, 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.040 so you can keep a list of the things you 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:29.640 want to see and it will tell you when they're 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.800 streaming for free. Or you can browse the newest movies, 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.720 the most popular movies, movies in various categories, movies just 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.000 added to your services, so if you're all caught up 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:41.160 on everything, you can see sort of what's new. The 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:45.000 other thing I like is a website and it's called 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:49.360 only on Streaming dot Com. Only on Streaming dot Com. 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.480 And what's magical about this website is that they give 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.000 you all the newest stuff. So I just sit here 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:58.800 and watch the newest or I can see what the 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:03.920 newest items are original streaming content coming to Netflix, Amazon, 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:08.600 Disney Plus, Hulu, CBS DC YouTube, Crackle, Apple TV plus, Facebook, 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:11.720 and more. So, for instance, I can see on July third, 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:15.240 Hamilton is coming to Disney. Plus, I can see that 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.960 Little Voice season one is coming to Apple TV. Plus 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:21.320 I can see that Muppets Now Season one is coming 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.520 to Disney. Plus I can see that Let's see what 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:27.360 else is on here, Animaniacs season one is coming to 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.200 Hulu on oh in twenty twenty. Okay, some of these 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.760 are way far out, but I can see Pete the Cat, 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:36.520 which my kids like, just launched on Amazon Prime Video. Okay, 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:37.880 I told you there'd be a couple of ways. So 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:43.480 one more way is on on Google. You type in 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:46.720 oh gosh, hold on, hold on. I think it's called 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:50.040 what to Watch, And let me just confirm that, yes, 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:53.880 if you search on Google what to watch, they have 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:57.880 their own secret little place where you can find all 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:01.560 the movies on your provider. And I keep a list 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:03.520 in here. It's a little confusing because I keep a 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:05.760 list in Real Good and I also keep a list 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.440 on what to watch on Google. I haven't decided which 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:11.920 one I think is better. Real Good is definitely the 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:15.160 more elaborate app. It has many more features. But I 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.800 got to say. Google has the power of Google Search, 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.240 so they know exactly what people are searching for at 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:23.480 that very moment and what people are watching, so you 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:26.200 can see all the popular stuff. And again you can 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:29.200 see stuff that's just on your streaming providers or stuff 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:31.520 that's free. You can see TV shows and you can 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:32.960 keep a watch list. So again all you have to 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:36.080 do is search what to watch on Google and do 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.080 it from your mobile phone because that's like the easier 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:42.600 way of doing it. So anyway, Wow, good information, good question, 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:49.520 and again find those free movies. That's my recommendation. Moving on, now, 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:53.480 let's talk more about WWDC because there are more features 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:59.080 I want to talk about. Let's move into iPad iPad 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:02.640 os four ten. The main feature they're bringing there is Scribble, 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:05.240 and I will be honest, I've been testing out a 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:11.480 iPad pro with the Apple keyboard case and I haven't 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:13.760 opened the Apple pencil yet, but it's got one and 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:16.400 also the track pad, and I'll say I love the 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:18.840 big screen and I've been basically just reading the newspaper 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:20.840 on it every day, and you know, that's kind of it. 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:24.080 And I actually used it as a workout thing the 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:26.400 other day to watch my peloton and use that on 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:29.880 my bike, which was great the big screen. But I 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:33.200 did also do a blog post on the iPad as well, 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:36.120 and I'll tell you it, it's really tricky because I 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:37.600 think it's one of those things where you just have 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:39.920 to get into it and use it. But I am 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:44.120 so used to my computer. That is sort of my world. 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:46.840 That is how I know how to do everything. I drag, 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.040 I drop, I move, I've got my apps that I like, 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:50.920 and so I think you can do a lot of 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:53.600 the same stuff on the iPad and especially the iPad Pro, 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:57.080 but it just takes a lot of getting used to. Now. 0:16:57.280 --> 0:16:59.920 With that said, and I always say this on this podcast, 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:02.840 if I was not editing video and I was a 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:07.000 business person that was doing blog posts and social media, 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:10.240 I would be on the iPad Pro in one second 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:14.520 as my daily driver computer with the keyboard and the pencil, 0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:17.719 because you can do so much, and I love the 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:19.800 fact that it's got a touch screen. I find myself 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.200 trying to touch my screen on the MacBook Pro and 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.040 it's not there, and sometimes I'm like, oh, this would 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:27.320 be so much easier, And then sometimes on the iPad, 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.120 I'm using it and I forget that it's a touch screen. Anyway, 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.760 the feature they're bringing is called Scribble to the iPad, 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:34.840 which means you can use the Apple pencil to type 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:37.240 or to write in any text field and it will 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:39.879 convert it to handwriting. And there's been this long dream 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:44.320 of converting handwriting to text. It's not very good in 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:47.720 my opinion, but who knows, maybe this will work. When 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:49.480 it comes to the Apple Watch, and you know, I 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:53.080 love the Apple Watch. It is such a great device. 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.600 A couple things are doing there. You can share watch faces, 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:57.120 which is kind of cool. So I see a lot 0:17:57.160 --> 0:18:01.480 of celebrities and influencers and writers sharing kind of the 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:03.679 best setup for a watch face. Let's say you love 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:05.960 hiking and you've got a favorite hiker that you follow 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:08.520 on a blog. He's like, here's he or she is like, 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:11.440 here's my watch face. Go ahead. You can just download 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:13.840 it and there's a click to download, and now you've 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:16.080 got their watch face with all their setup and everything. 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:17.560 And if you don't have the apps that they have, 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:20.639 it'll direct you to do that. Now. From Apple standpoint 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:23.399 of course, this up sells apps. So if they've got 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:25.960 a complication on there, that's a buck ninety nine. Now 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:31.560 they've just sold that to you. Brilliant sleep tracking. Now 0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:34.919 I think Apple is tiptoeing into sleep tracking. I'm not 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:37.280 sure this is going to beat something like a fitbit 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:40.159 to track your sleep, but it's a step. It's a 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:43.040 first step. It's gonna get you to see just how 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:45.560 much you're sleeping. I'm not sure how rich the data is, 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:48.000 but we'll have to see just how good that is. 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:49.760 But it's kind of nice to have that. It's gonna 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:51.360 make a lot of people try to figure out when 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:53.960 they can charge their Apple Watch because it does not 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:57.080 last for more than pretty much a day, especially if 0:18:57.080 --> 0:19:00.600 you're working out hand washing feature, so this will detect 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:03.560 when you're washing your hands. This is their coronavirus toss 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:06.360 in here, so if you're washing your hands, it will 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:09.119 start a twenty second countdown timer to make sure you 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:11.879 wash for twenty seconds, which I'm guilty of not washing 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:14.600 for that full time every time, but maybe I would 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:18.280 if my watch prompted me to do that. And it's 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:20.879 kind of interesting how they did this. They're using the 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:23.520 motion sensors in the watch to kind of figure out, Okay, 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:26.800 did he start washing his hands. Yes, Then they tap 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:30.040 on the microphone to listen for the sound of water 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:34.440 running and also the sound of soap being squished between 0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:38.680 your fingertips, so a very interesting way to detect hand washing. 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:42.959 And finally, the activity app in iOS fourteen is going 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:46.439 to be called Fitness. Now they've added four new fitness types, 0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:51.040 core training, Dance, functional strength training, and cool down. So 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:53.960 that's pretty nice. And now there's some privacy things as well, 0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:56.560 and I love that Apple just continues to hammer down 0:19:56.640 --> 0:20:01.360 on privacy. Users can share their approximate location with developers, 0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:03.680 which is so nice because on Twitter, I used to 0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:05.359 think it was really a good idea to share your 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:08.440 exact location, but guess what, they're collecting way too much 0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:11.239 data on exactly where I am. So I would very 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:13.760 much be happy if Twitter just knows that when I'm tweeting, 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:17.520 I'm in Los Angeles, not exactly where I am in 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:22.119 the city or anywhere. Then there's indicator lights now, so 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:25.880 whenever an app has access to your device's camera or microphone, 0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:29.080 there will be a little tiny indicator light on your screen. 0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:33.919 On the iOS iOS I should just say iPhone, iPad 0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:37.480 and watch. That is a brilliant move because everyone is 0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:41.720 so concerned about these apps having secret access, especially Facebook. 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:44.080 Everyone thinks that they're listening to them. Now you'll know 0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:47.040 if you see your camera or mic light up. Okay, yeah, 0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:49.960 that app is listening, and this will keep bad developers 0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:53.800 out of the store as well, or malicious developers or 0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:57.840 malicious apps, whatever you want to call it, but bad stuff. Now, 0:20:57.880 --> 0:21:01.520 with that said, there's another feature which shows when an 0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:05.320 app spies on your clipboard. And it's already getting a 0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:08.600 lot of publicity because a bunch of apps look at 0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:12.160 what you copy and paste on your iPhone. Surprise, surprise. 0:21:13.359 --> 0:21:15.480 If you've ever wondered why when you send a text 0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:18.640 to someone you get an ad for that exact thing 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:22.680 ten minutes later in your Instagram or Facebook feed, Well, 0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:26.119 guess what, now we have a little idea why. So 0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:29.359 a lot of users have been posting videos of screencaps 0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:33.000 because they've installed the developer version of iOS fourteen, And 0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:34.840 when you open up an app, it says at the 0:21:34.840 --> 0:21:38.159 top of the screen app whatever the app name, just 0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:41.679 access to your clipboard. WHOA wait? What? So this is 0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:44.720 again built into iOS fourteen so that you have the 0:21:44.800 --> 0:21:47.120 power as an individual to say, hmm, I just open 0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:49.720 up a weather app. Why does it need access? Why 0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:53.200 is it taking a look at my clipboard? Now there 0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:55.440 are some benefits to this, so Let's let me give 0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:58.600 you one example. Let's say you have Apple or Google Maps, 0:21:59.119 --> 0:22:02.320 and Google google Maps looks at the clipboard to see 0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:07.159 if you copied and paste copied an address, and if 0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:08.760 you did, if you ever noticed, when you go to 0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:11.679 search on Google Maps on iOS, it'll say, do you 0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:15.040 want to search for the clipboard the address you just copied? 0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:18.280 So I get it. There are valid reasons for this behavior, 0:22:18.520 --> 0:22:20.840 but it's nice now that it's out in the open 0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:24.320 that it will definitely catch some bad actors for sure. 0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:31.560 Let's get to the next question here in the show, 0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:34.479 and Steve says, good morning, rich. My wife is a 0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:36.919 makeup artist, but she has about twenty five thousand pictures 0:22:36.960 --> 0:22:40.480 on her iPhone and it's already reaching Your iPhone could 0:22:40.480 --> 0:22:43.760 not back up due to limited storage. Our next option 0:22:43.840 --> 0:22:46.000 is getting the one terabyte for nine to ninety nine 0:22:46.040 --> 0:22:49.480 a month. Isn't there a better option? And my answer 0:22:49.480 --> 0:22:53.040 to this is, before you pay that ten bucks a month, 0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:55.160 you might want to check a few things. So number one, 0:22:55.680 --> 0:23:00.000 iPhone and Apple are notorious for gobbling up your iCloud 0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:04.560 storage and with stuff that is unnecessary. So the first 0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:06.800 thing before you pay for this extra storage, what I 0:23:06.840 --> 0:23:10.480 want you to do is check the iCloud backups for 0:23:10.680 --> 0:23:13.760 older backups that you might not need anymore. What happens 0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:16.800 when you update or upgrade your iPhone or an iPad 0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:20.720 or an Apple Watch or anything, iCloud keeps that old 0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:23.959 backup of that device, even after you've started using your 0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:26.240 new device and backing that one up. So let's say 0:23:26.240 --> 0:23:28.919 your old phone was twenty five gigs backed up, and 0:23:28.960 --> 0:23:30.720 then your new phone has twenty five gigs on it 0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:33.280 because you moved everything over. Well, now you're taking up 0:23:33.320 --> 0:23:36.080 double the storage in iCloud because you never deleted that 0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:38.320 old phone out of iCloud and you don't need it 0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:40.399 in there because guess what the data is on your 0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:43.080 new phone and it's backed up into iCloud, so you 0:23:43.119 --> 0:23:45.320 can delete that old backup. So the number one thing 0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:48.040 to do is look for old backups you don't need anymore. 0:23:48.280 --> 0:23:50.800 So that means you got to go into settings Apple ID, 0:23:50.920 --> 0:23:52.359 which is right at the top. It has your little 0:23:52.400 --> 0:23:57.000 picture iCloud, then manage storage and backups. Yeah, they don't 0:23:57.000 --> 0:23:59.440 make this easy to find, and then look for old 0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:02.800 devices that you're not using. If it says this phone, 0:24:02.840 --> 0:24:05.000 that means it's your phone. That you're using. If there's 0:24:05.000 --> 0:24:07.639 any other old phones in there from years past, you 0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:10.840 can go ahead and safely delete those as long as 0:24:10.880 --> 0:24:13.199 you know that that data has been moved to a 0:24:13.240 --> 0:24:16.520 new device. Make sure you do that. Don't just delete 0:24:16.520 --> 0:24:20.600 stuff without thinking, because you could get rid of something important. Now, 0:24:21.000 --> 0:24:24.479 if you're using iCloud for photos, you need to do 0:24:24.520 --> 0:24:26.479 another thing because if you're running out of storage on 0:24:26.520 --> 0:24:29.320 your phone, which this sounded like it was an iCloud thing, 0:24:29.359 --> 0:24:32.040 not an iPhone thing, you still want to check this 0:24:32.200 --> 0:24:35.359 option to make sure that you're optimizing the storage on 0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:37.640 your iPhone as well, because a lot of people buy 0:24:37.680 --> 0:24:40.520 extra storage on iCloud not realizing that it doesn't really 0:24:40.560 --> 0:24:42.680 have to do with their iPhone. So you want to 0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:46.680 go into settings Apple id iCloud then Photos and there's 0:24:46.720 --> 0:24:52.520 a toggle says that says optimized optimize Phone Storage. And 0:24:52.560 --> 0:24:54.760 what this does is it will look at how much 0:24:54.800 --> 0:24:56.920 space is on your phone and it will make sure 0:24:56.960 --> 0:24:58.960 you don't run out with all your pictures taking up 0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:01.000 space on your phone. So what it does is, if 0:25:01.000 --> 0:25:05.439 you're using iCloud, let's say you've got, you know, a 0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:08.760 sixty four gigabyte iPhone and you've got fifty gigs of 0:25:08.800 --> 0:25:11.600 pictures and you're getting close to that sixty four gigabyte 0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:15.840 limit on your iPhone. Well, Apple is smart enough to say, well, 0:25:15.880 --> 0:25:19.000 they've got one hundred gigs out here in iCloud. Let's 0:25:19.080 --> 0:25:21.640 offload some of these pictures from the iPhone. Let's offload 0:25:21.920 --> 0:25:25.200 fifteen gigs. But we'll keep little thumbnails on the iPhone, 0:25:25.200 --> 0:25:27.040 so if you ever need to scroll through your photo library, 0:25:27.080 --> 0:25:29.120 you'll still see those, and when you tap one, we'll 0:25:29.119 --> 0:25:31.680 just download that photo on demand from the cloud instantly. 0:25:32.119 --> 0:25:35.040 So it seems like everything's on your phone, but in reality, 0:25:35.280 --> 0:25:38.320 it's been offloaded to the cloud. Google Photos works in 0:25:38.440 --> 0:25:40.680 very much the same way. It's a little bit different 0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:42.679 on the iPhone, but yes, that's kind of how Google 0:25:42.680 --> 0:25:46.480 Photos works is you can have Google Photos on your phone. 0:25:46.680 --> 0:25:48.840 It will delete the originals from your phone and it 0:25:48.840 --> 0:25:51.159 will keep them in your library. So when you're searching 0:25:51.160 --> 0:25:53.920 on Google Photos, seems like everything's there. It's just really 0:25:53.960 --> 0:25:58.560 in the cloud. So those are my two recommendations. I 0:25:58.600 --> 0:26:01.920 would recommend the Google Photo but if you're already using 0:26:02.280 --> 0:26:04.640 iCloud and backing up your photos there, Steve, I think 0:26:04.640 --> 0:26:07.760 that just stick with what she got but that's my recommendation, 0:26:08.000 --> 0:26:11.160 and hopefully you're not paying for storage that you don't 0:26:11.240 --> 0:26:16.639 really need. Wise Cam has done it again. Wise Cam 0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:19.359 is the company that you probably know. They make a 0:26:19.400 --> 0:26:23.159 twenty dollars security camera that many many people did not 0:26:23.280 --> 0:26:26.000 believe me when I first presented this on TV back 0:26:26.040 --> 0:26:29.439 in twenty seventeen. They said, what, there's no way that 0:26:29.480 --> 0:26:33.080 a security camera can be twenty dollars. And here's the thing, 0:26:33.720 --> 0:26:37.399 I actually take the time to test this stuff before 0:26:37.440 --> 0:26:39.840 I just talk about it. Now. I get it. If 0:26:39.880 --> 0:26:43.240 something is announced like this camera that I have not tested, 0:26:43.560 --> 0:26:45.760 I will talk about it without having tested it. But 0:26:45.880 --> 0:26:47.879 most of the time, if I'm doing a story on 0:26:47.960 --> 0:26:50.919 TV about a product, I have done my research. I 0:26:50.960 --> 0:26:53.080 have figured out who are the people behind this company? 0:26:53.280 --> 0:26:55.679 How is this so cheap? What are they doing? Is it, 0:26:56.000 --> 0:26:58.720 you know, sending data to China like everyone accused it 0:26:58.800 --> 0:27:01.720 of doing. No, it was just a bunch of smart 0:27:01.760 --> 0:27:04.440 Amazon people who saw what Amazon was doing. I mean, 0:27:04.440 --> 0:27:06.640 look at them. They came out with a thirty five 0:27:06.680 --> 0:27:11.680 dollars streaming stick. Google came out with a Chrome cast 0:27:11.720 --> 0:27:14.800 device that was dirt cheap and let you stream stuff 0:27:14.800 --> 0:27:16.920 to your TV for the first time, cheaper than any 0:27:17.000 --> 0:27:20.400 other method in the history of mankind. So yes, these 0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:24.280 companies figure stuff out and they cut things out of 0:27:24.320 --> 0:27:26.640 the system that you may not need in a more 0:27:26.640 --> 0:27:28.840 expensive system. Apple TV is two hundred dollars. Do you 0:27:28.920 --> 0:27:31.280 need all the features in there? Probably not, but you're 0:27:31.359 --> 0:27:35.560 getting something that's in the Apple ecosystem. Chrome cast dirt cheap. 0:27:35.720 --> 0:27:37.560 A lot of people love it. Didn't believe when I 0:27:37.560 --> 0:27:41.400 talked about that either. So again, these companies do this, 0:27:41.440 --> 0:27:44.800 and the Wyscam outdoor is now just forty dollars. Now 0:27:44.840 --> 0:27:47.040 before you, let me give you some details on this. 0:27:47.160 --> 0:27:51.520 So this is a wireless outdoor security camera. It records 0:27:51.520 --> 0:27:55.080 in full HD ten ADP. It is IP sixty five 0:27:55.400 --> 0:27:58.240 weather resistant, which is not the highest, but it will 0:27:58.240 --> 0:28:00.480 be just fine. I got a question of about the 0:28:00.880 --> 0:28:04.080 temperature rating, and it operates from negative four degrees to 0:28:04.119 --> 0:28:08.439 one hundred and twenty degrees, so pretty much. Maybe some 0:28:08.560 --> 0:28:11.359 places in America might be outside of that range, but 0:28:11.400 --> 0:28:13.520 that's gonna cover a lot of people. And for this 0:28:13.600 --> 0:28:16.280 price forty bucks, you probably set it up and see 0:28:16.320 --> 0:28:17.880 if it works, I mean, if it's not gonna work, 0:28:17.920 --> 0:28:20.400 if it if it bottoms out, well, you're only out 0:28:20.400 --> 0:28:23.639 a couple bucks. The device is fifty dollars for a 0:28:23.680 --> 0:28:27.199 starter kit because this does require a base station, and 0:28:27.240 --> 0:28:29.720 the base station to me, it looks like it has 0:28:29.760 --> 0:28:32.840 to plug in via Ethernet, so there are some caveats 0:28:32.880 --> 0:28:37.160 to this little setup. But with that said, you can 0:28:37.280 --> 0:28:40.160 hook up to four cameras to a base station. So 0:28:40.200 --> 0:28:42.520 if you want to put a wireless camera on all 0:28:42.560 --> 0:28:45.440 four corners of your home, you can now do this 0:28:45.520 --> 0:28:49.520 for under four times three is one twenty plus fifty 0:28:49.520 --> 0:28:52.440 one hundred and seventy dollars. And by the way, the 0:28:52.480 --> 0:28:55.280 monthly service is free. So the way they do that, 0:28:55.360 --> 0:28:57.480 which nobody believed me by the way, when this first 0:28:57.560 --> 0:29:01.120 came out, is they give you fourteen days of rolling 0:29:01.160 --> 0:29:03.760 cloud storage. So what does that mean. That means that 0:29:04.000 --> 0:29:06.480 this thing is not live streaming to the cloud twenty 0:29:06.520 --> 0:29:08.400 four to seven. It just isn't going to be able 0:29:08.440 --> 0:29:11.200 to do that on a battery. But when it senses 0:29:11.240 --> 0:29:16.880 motion or people, this has a people detection. When it 0:29:16.960 --> 0:29:19.920 senses a person walking by or motion, you can set 0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:22.160 how you want it to react. It will record a 0:29:22.200 --> 0:29:25.080 clip and then it will send that clip to the cloud. 0:29:25.360 --> 0:29:28.360 That clip is saved for fourteen days and it's rolling, 0:29:28.560 --> 0:29:31.360 so that clip is deleted after fourteen days. Now, can 0:29:31.360 --> 0:29:33.560 you buy extra storage in the cloud, I'm sure you can. 0:29:34.440 --> 0:29:36.200 Can you have local storage on this Yes, you can, 0:29:36.280 --> 0:29:38.080 up to thirty two gigabytes. You can put in a 0:29:38.120 --> 0:29:40.840 micro SD card. But again, and the battery is gonna 0:29:40.880 --> 0:29:43.720 last three to six months? Now, I always think it's 0:29:43.720 --> 0:29:46.720 probably gonna last closer that three months. Six is probably 0:29:46.800 --> 0:29:49.120 if nobody's walking in front of this thing. But I 0:29:49.120 --> 0:29:50.720 would say three months. So you are gonna have to 0:29:50.760 --> 0:29:52.760 get up on a ladder, depending on how you mount 0:29:52.800 --> 0:29:55.600 this thing, pop it off there it's magnetic, and charge 0:29:55.640 --> 0:29:57.840 it up every couple of months. I do that with 0:29:57.880 --> 0:30:00.800 my ring doorbell. It's fine, I do it. I actually 0:30:00.800 --> 0:30:02.960 have two batteries for it, so I just keep one 0:30:03.040 --> 0:30:04.800 charging and then when I have to pop it out, 0:30:04.840 --> 0:30:07.560 which I can never remember how to take the front 0:30:07.600 --> 0:30:09.920 off of the ring doorbell for some reason. But anyway, 0:30:10.000 --> 0:30:11.520 I pop it out and I put the new one in, 0:30:11.560 --> 0:30:14.240 and it's just fine. And of course the battery doesn't 0:30:14.320 --> 0:30:16.760 last as long as it used to. When ring first 0:30:16.760 --> 0:30:18.960 came out, it was almost as if you could have 0:30:19.040 --> 0:30:22.000 that battery in there forever and it would just work. 0:30:22.040 --> 0:30:24.440 But now they've added a lot of new features to 0:30:24.480 --> 0:30:28.200 the ring video doorbell, and the battery gets used up 0:30:28.400 --> 0:30:31.800 much quicker than it ever has in the past. So 0:30:31.840 --> 0:30:33.720 the wise outdoor cam. What else do you want to 0:30:33.760 --> 0:30:36.320 know about it? Let's see, it's small, it looks like 0:30:36.360 --> 0:30:39.080 the old camera, the standard one. It's got one hundred 0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:42.440 and twenty eight megabytes on board memory. The battery is 0:30:42.840 --> 0:30:46.960 there's two batteries inside, twenty six millionmp hours, two of those, 0:30:47.200 --> 0:30:49.920 so there's you know, so that's for fifty two hundred 0:30:49.960 --> 0:30:51.880 million hours. It's kind of like a cell phone, a 0:30:51.880 --> 0:30:54.120 little bit bigger than cell phones are limited to five 0:30:54.120 --> 0:30:57.200 thousand million hours, so it's a little bit bigger resolution, 0:30:57.400 --> 0:31:00.640 night vision up to twenty five feet, let's see eight 0:31:00.680 --> 0:31:05.400 times digital zoom. It's got Ethernet. Oh, the base station, yes, 0:31:05.480 --> 0:31:09.920 has Ethernet on board and wireless, so maybe I don't know. 0:31:10.000 --> 0:31:12.520 I think from what I could tell, it looked like 0:31:12.560 --> 0:31:15.760 you had to put the Ethernet into the base station, 0:31:16.120 --> 0:31:17.680 so that could be a catch for a lot of people, 0:31:17.760 --> 0:31:21.600 but you'll figure it out. There's also this weird offline 0:31:21.640 --> 0:31:23.920 travel mode, so you can take this with you and 0:31:23.920 --> 0:31:27.000 put it, they say, in your hotel room, which I 0:31:27.000 --> 0:31:28.360 guess if you want to keep an eye on, like 0:31:28.400 --> 0:31:30.400 who's cleaning your room while you're not there? That's kind 0:31:30.440 --> 0:31:32.680 of weird. And then you can also do time lapses 0:31:32.800 --> 0:31:36.360 of says bring it on vacation, or take time lapses 0:31:36.400 --> 0:31:38.640 of your campsite while sleeping under the stars. That's also 0:31:38.680 --> 0:31:40.400 kind of strange. But I guess, you know, if you're 0:31:40.440 --> 0:31:42.920 expecting a bear to interrupt you at your camp sence. 0:31:42.960 --> 0:31:47.000 I don't know, but that's the wisecam and I would 0:31:47.040 --> 0:31:49.560 definitely I can't wait to test this thing out because 0:31:49.920 --> 0:31:53.240 for forty dollars or fifty dollars, that is a fantastic 0:31:53.320 --> 0:31:55.680 value when it comes to home security. There are other 0:31:55.720 --> 0:31:58.240 cameras that are pretty cheap. The Blink cameras from Amazon 0:31:58.280 --> 0:32:00.719 are pretty cheap, so are the Ring cameras. But you're 0:32:00.760 --> 0:32:02.920 still talking with the Ring at least you know. I 0:32:02.960 --> 0:32:04.720 saw I think it was a three pack for two 0:32:04.720 --> 0:32:07.840 point fifty for their stick up cam that's wireless outside, 0:32:08.280 --> 0:32:15.760 so this is still significantly cheaper. Babs writes in Hey, Rich, 0:32:15.800 --> 0:32:18.720 can you please explain why iPhone users were not given 0:32:18.760 --> 0:32:21.840 the option to accept or reject or made aware of 0:32:21.880 --> 0:32:24.480 the COVID tracker now under health that came with the 0:32:24.560 --> 0:32:27.600 latest iOS update. You need an app for it to 0:32:27.680 --> 0:32:30.760 actually work, but shouldn't have Apple asked permission. Plus they 0:32:30.800 --> 0:32:33.400 don't let you know what the corresponding app is. Hmmm. 0:32:34.240 --> 0:32:37.560 I have gotten so many questions about this, And whenever 0:32:37.600 --> 0:32:40.240 I get a lot of questions about something, I know 0:32:40.760 --> 0:32:44.320 that it is making the rounds on social media, and 0:32:44.440 --> 0:32:48.640 usually what happens on social media, only one portion of 0:32:48.680 --> 0:32:51.360 the story is being given out. So people put a 0:32:51.560 --> 0:32:53.400 and some people send me the screenshot so I see 0:32:53.400 --> 0:32:56.800 them and it'll be like this has been installed on 0:32:56.840 --> 0:33:01.320 your phone secretly by the government. What to? How dare they? 0:33:01.880 --> 0:33:05.720 And there's a story behind everything. And again this is 0:33:05.840 --> 0:33:08.800 me coming out as a journalist saying I've done my 0:33:08.880 --> 0:33:12.160 research on this. I've talked to Apple about this, We've 0:33:12.240 --> 0:33:14.720 heard from Google about this. This is a joint effort 0:33:15.520 --> 0:33:18.400 and here's the real deal. Yes, with the latest operating 0:33:18.440 --> 0:33:23.520 systems on Android and iOS, they introduced what's called contact tracing, 0:33:24.080 --> 0:33:28.120 and this is Apple and Google's hope or I guess, 0:33:28.280 --> 0:33:32.480 attempt at helping stem the pandemic. And what they did 0:33:32.600 --> 0:33:34.200 was they came up with a system that does not 0:33:34.400 --> 0:33:37.720 use location. That's number one. It does not use personally 0:33:37.840 --> 0:33:41.240 identifiable information about you. In fact, all it does is 0:33:41.280 --> 0:33:44.240 send out a Bluetooth beacon from your phone and from 0:33:44.280 --> 0:33:47.280 everyone else's phones. And when you walk past a phone, 0:33:47.360 --> 0:33:49.080 or you spend a certain amount of time with someone 0:33:49.120 --> 0:33:51.920 in a room at a certain distance from them, and 0:33:52.000 --> 0:33:54.880 again it's not using location. It's using Bluetooth low energy, 0:33:55.040 --> 0:33:57.880 which measures the distance between you and the other person. 0:33:59.120 --> 0:34:02.239 It will record that person's number, and then if that 0:34:02.280 --> 0:34:05.480 person says, oh, shoot, I got coronavirus, they will flag 0:34:05.640 --> 0:34:08.279 their number in the database, and your phone says, oh, 0:34:08.320 --> 0:34:10.399 I have that number of my database, and it will 0:34:10.400 --> 0:34:12.400 tell you that, hey, someone who came in contact with 0:34:12.480 --> 0:34:15.000 has coronavirus. It doesn't give you their name, doesn't tell 0:34:15.000 --> 0:34:17.359 you when. Maybe it tells you the time and the date, 0:34:17.400 --> 0:34:20.239 but it does not tell you. It does not tell 0:34:20.280 --> 0:34:24.000 you the location. Now, with all that said, it's not 0:34:24.040 --> 0:34:26.920 secretly tracking you. In fact, in the US, at least, 0:34:27.280 --> 0:34:29.640 there really are no apps that take advantage of this. 0:34:29.680 --> 0:34:33.080 There's three states that have signed on and that's about it. 0:34:33.120 --> 0:34:35.960 And I believe it's like North Dakota, South Dakota and 0:34:36.080 --> 0:34:40.120 maybe Alabama or something, but again not California, where a 0:34:40.160 --> 0:34:43.799 majority of my listenership is from. California did not sign 0:34:43.880 --> 0:34:46.080 on to this. They don't have a COVID tracing app 0:34:46.120 --> 0:34:48.560 as far as I know right now, the WHO does 0:34:48.600 --> 0:34:50.600 not have one, the CDC does not have one. There's 0:34:50.640 --> 0:34:54.880 no nationwide app. So the reason why BABS is saying 0:34:55.400 --> 0:34:56.920 you need an app but they're not telling you what 0:34:56.960 --> 0:34:59.439 the corresponding app is is because there really aren't any 0:34:59.800 --> 0:35:03.120 now now. I do think in the future, if companies 0:35:03.160 --> 0:35:06.200 decide to build an app or organizations decide to build 0:35:06.200 --> 0:35:08.680 an app that takes advantage of this system, which I'm 0:35:08.719 --> 0:35:10.319 not sure if this is effective or not. I think 0:35:10.360 --> 0:35:12.960 it would be if people used it, but it's opt 0:35:13.000 --> 0:35:15.800 in and so nobody has to use it. So again, 0:35:17.360 --> 0:35:19.360 I would think that Apple would put the list of 0:35:19.400 --> 0:35:22.279 apps inside that little area so that you can see 0:35:22.280 --> 0:35:24.560 which apps would activate this feature. I don't think they're 0:35:24.600 --> 0:35:26.680 doing that just yet. But if you want to see 0:35:26.680 --> 0:35:29.120 this feature on your phone, yes it's there and no, 0:35:29.200 --> 0:35:32.400 it's not active for ninety nine point nine percent of you. 0:35:32.400 --> 0:35:35.239 You can go into your settings on the iPhone. Let's 0:35:35.239 --> 0:35:40.399 see under oh, gosh, is it privacy? And then let's 0:35:40.400 --> 0:35:44.000 see health and then COVID nineteen exposure logging and it 0:35:44.040 --> 0:35:48.520 should say off and it says no installed app. And 0:35:48.560 --> 0:35:51.000 there's not even a place to find apps right now. 0:35:51.040 --> 0:35:53.759 I assume they should have some links to apps in 0:35:53.800 --> 0:35:57.120 the future. But that's the explanation. On Android, it's in 0:35:57.239 --> 0:36:00.000 different places, but I have gotten some screenshots from folks 0:36:00.360 --> 0:36:02.719 on Android. I will do a story on this on 0:36:02.840 --> 0:36:06.400 TV so I can explain this to people. And here's 0:36:06.400 --> 0:36:08.000 the world we live in now, with all the fake 0:36:08.080 --> 0:36:10.719 news and this stuff. I am a journalist that does 0:36:10.840 --> 0:36:13.399 do research and I do try to present stuff on 0:36:13.480 --> 0:36:17.080 TV that is factual. I mean, for twenty years now, 0:36:17.160 --> 0:36:19.160 that has been my goal is to not to lie 0:36:19.200 --> 0:36:22.399 to people on TV. I'm trying to do my best 0:36:22.440 --> 0:36:26.280 at that and I have. But it is so crazy, 0:36:26.560 --> 0:36:28.680 which this is a change that is not you know, 0:36:28.719 --> 0:36:32.319 it's pretty new that people don't believe the stuff that 0:36:32.360 --> 0:36:35.319 I even post to my social media. And it used 0:36:35.320 --> 0:36:37.040 to be if you saw a journalists post something, you 0:36:37.080 --> 0:36:39.600 would believe it. But I get it. There are so 0:36:39.880 --> 0:36:43.640 many opinions out there that are masquerading as fact. There 0:36:43.640 --> 0:36:47.040 are so many people out there that just talk and 0:36:47.360 --> 0:36:49.799 put stuff out there without any sort of basis to 0:36:49.840 --> 0:36:52.400 whether it's true or false. That I get why you 0:36:52.480 --> 0:36:54.560 might not believe me And you don't know who I 0:36:54.600 --> 0:36:57.319 am if you're just scrolling through and someone shared one 0:36:57.360 --> 0:36:59.560 of my posts on your page, And are you going 0:36:59.600 --> 0:37:02.480 to go through the effort of looking up who I 0:37:02.520 --> 0:37:05.160 am and verifying that I'm actually on TV because I 0:37:05.200 --> 0:37:06.920 say I am, and verifying that I know what I'm 0:37:06.920 --> 0:37:09.839 talking about. No, And so I get it. But it's 0:37:10.120 --> 0:37:12.640 we live in a very tricky time right now for information. 0:37:13.280 --> 0:37:16.560 And with that said, let me tell you one thing 0:37:16.560 --> 0:37:19.160 that Facebook is doing. You hear them all my papers here, 0:37:19.160 --> 0:37:21.680 I've got so much stuff. Let's see, do I have 0:37:21.760 --> 0:37:24.839 it here? No? I don't, Okay, Well, I know that 0:37:24.880 --> 0:37:28.920 Facebook is doing something where oh here it is. Facebook 0:37:29.200 --> 0:37:33.040 is rolling out a new Facebook. You know, they got 0:37:33.360 --> 0:37:35.400 drugged through the mud when it came to the twenty 0:37:35.440 --> 0:37:40.080 sixteen election, and you know, Facebook is making sure they're 0:37:40.080 --> 0:37:43.040 doing everything in their power to not be blamed for 0:37:43.120 --> 0:37:45.360 anything when it comes to fake news and all this 0:37:45.400 --> 0:37:47.720 stuff in the future. And so they just keep making 0:37:47.719 --> 0:37:50.480 these changes and one of them is now they are 0:37:50.880 --> 0:37:53.319 rolling out a notification screen. So if you try to 0:37:53.360 --> 0:37:57.040 share an article that's more than ninety days old, they'll say, WHOA, 0:37:57.480 --> 0:38:01.320 hold on, hold on, are you sure you want to 0:38:01.360 --> 0:38:03.959 share that? That article is more than ninety days old? 0:38:04.320 --> 0:38:06.200 And so you can decide if you want to share 0:38:06.239 --> 0:38:08.480 that or not to make sure that people are sharing 0:38:08.719 --> 0:38:12.920 relevant new information. And it's just again, it's just a 0:38:12.960 --> 0:38:16.080 sign of our times where it's tough. All right, I 0:38:16.120 --> 0:38:17.320 do have a lot more to go through here and 0:38:17.480 --> 0:38:21.239 shows almost over. I can't believe it. Google, this is 0:38:21.280 --> 0:38:25.680 a new one. Google is privacy. Privacy is big. Google 0:38:26.000 --> 0:38:30.080 is introducing new controls that they are well, they're introducing 0:38:30.120 --> 0:38:33.319 a new protocol for saving your data. So they are 0:38:33.360 --> 0:38:36.200 now going to save data but for eighteen months by default. 0:38:36.239 --> 0:38:38.920 And data. This is not your Gmail, This is not 0:38:38.960 --> 0:38:42.040 your photos, not your calendar. This is your location data, 0:38:42.440 --> 0:38:46.520 your search history, your voice data, and your YouTube activity data. 0:38:46.920 --> 0:38:49.480 So by default, when you open up a Google account, 0:38:49.600 --> 0:38:52.680 they will just keep that information for eighteen months. And again, 0:38:52.719 --> 0:38:55.520 you know that Google relies on this data to help 0:38:55.680 --> 0:38:59.000 personalize the service, to help sell you stuff, to help 0:38:59.200 --> 0:39:01.799 you create ads, whatever, to help just market to you. 0:39:01.840 --> 0:39:04.760 They want to know as much about you as possible, 0:39:05.600 --> 0:39:08.000 and of course as a consumer, you want them. You 0:39:08.040 --> 0:39:10.400 want to ride this line of I want when I 0:39:10.440 --> 0:39:12.759 start searching for something in Google Maps for them to 0:39:12.840 --> 0:39:15.400 know the restaurant that I just searched for yesterday, because 0:39:15.560 --> 0:39:18.239 then it'll come up quicker, or the place I search 0:39:18.280 --> 0:39:19.799 for that I want to go on vacation because then 0:39:19.800 --> 0:39:22.920 they can target you know, vacation ads to me, or 0:39:23.080 --> 0:39:25.640 you know, more information about the place I'm going to. 0:39:26.200 --> 0:39:28.000 But at the same time, I don't want them to 0:39:28.040 --> 0:39:30.920 retain this stuff forever. So now it will be deleted 0:39:30.960 --> 0:39:34.080 after eighteen months. But here is the catch. This is 0:39:34.120 --> 0:39:37.640 only for new Google accounts. And guess what, over a 0:39:37.680 --> 0:39:40.120 billion people have Google accounts, So if you're one of 0:39:40.120 --> 0:39:42.680 those billion people, you have to go in and change 0:39:42.680 --> 0:39:45.560 this manually. Now I did a step by step on 0:39:45.600 --> 0:39:48.839 my Instagram at richontech on how to do that. It's 0:39:48.920 --> 0:39:50.560 quite easy. In fact, all you have to do is 0:39:50.600 --> 0:39:54.719 go to myactivity dot Google dot com. You tap the menu, 0:39:55.000 --> 0:39:58.120 you go to activity controls and there's an option for 0:39:58.200 --> 0:40:01.440 auto delete right now on my it says off. You 0:40:01.520 --> 0:40:03.960 tap it and it says auto delete activity older than 0:40:04.000 --> 0:40:08.160 three months, Auto delete activity older than eighteen months, or 0:40:08.320 --> 0:40:11.279 you can just leave it on off. I would recommend 0:40:11.880 --> 0:40:15.040 three months if you're really worried about your privacy, eighteen 0:40:15.080 --> 0:40:18.040 months if you're like me and you actually value some 0:40:18.120 --> 0:40:22.320 of the personalizations that Google has. I've actually kept this 0:40:22.480 --> 0:40:26.320 on indefinitely for right now because it's like, it's sad 0:40:26.360 --> 0:40:28.360 for me to like give up all my Google Search 0:40:28.440 --> 0:40:31.080 history because even when you look through it, you can see, like, 0:40:31.480 --> 0:40:33.239 you know, like I can go back and see the 0:40:33.320 --> 0:40:36.040 voice commands I said to Google when I first had 0:40:36.040 --> 0:40:38.719 my kid, and you know, back in the day a 0:40:38.719 --> 0:40:40.840 couple of years ago. I mean, how crazy is that? 0:40:41.480 --> 0:40:44.799 So it's weird, I know. But again, it's good to 0:40:44.840 --> 0:40:46.799 have this choice, and it's good that they're actually going 0:40:46.840 --> 0:40:50.960 to turn this on by default for new accounts, so 0:40:51.120 --> 0:40:53.399 again I'll put the link to how to do that. 0:40:53.840 --> 0:40:56.759 For YouTube, it's still going to remain thirty six months 0:40:56.760 --> 0:40:59.520 by default, and that makes sense because on YouTube, they're 0:40:59.560 --> 0:41:02.880 trying to give you recommended videos, and the more information 0:41:02.920 --> 0:41:06.120 they have about what you're watching, the better recommendations you get. 0:41:06.760 --> 0:41:09.840 And they're also making it easier to access incognito mode. 0:41:10.040 --> 0:41:11.840 So from now on, when you see your little Google 0:41:11.880 --> 0:41:15.080 logo or your profile picture on a Google app on 0:41:15.160 --> 0:41:18.640 iOS and Android, you can just long press that picture 0:41:18.760 --> 0:41:21.439 and it will bring you into incognito mode. This will 0:41:21.480 --> 0:41:25.839 work on Google App, maps, and YouTube now. Right now 0:41:25.840 --> 0:41:28.799 it's only active on iOS for the Google app, but 0:41:28.960 --> 0:41:32.440 it will be across all the the maps, the YouTube, 0:41:32.440 --> 0:41:35.040 and the Google App on iOS and Android in the 0:41:35.160 --> 0:41:46.600 near future. All right, let's see one more question. Uh Jackie, Gosh, 0:41:46.640 --> 0:41:49.440 she'se are all iPhone? So many people have iPhone questions? 0:41:49.440 --> 0:41:54.000 There always iPhone? All right, let's do this one from Jennifer. 0:41:54.280 --> 0:41:56.840 She says, I lost my iPhone over the weekend. It 0:41:56.880 --> 0:42:00.440 turns out someone found it and returned it. Anyway, I 0:42:00.440 --> 0:42:03.319 bought another phone, changed my plan, even got a five 0:42:03.400 --> 0:42:05.880 dollars iPad out of the deal. Okay, that's cool, but 0:42:06.000 --> 0:42:07.560 of course you're going to be paying the data on that. 0:42:07.600 --> 0:42:10.000 I bet sort of too late to go back. But 0:42:10.080 --> 0:42:12.120 what should I do with my old phone? Other than 0:42:12.120 --> 0:42:14.680 a tiny chip in the top right corner it works perfectly. 0:42:14.719 --> 0:42:17.440 Should I fix the screen and sell it? Or forget 0:42:17.480 --> 0:42:19.799 fixing the screen and just try to sell it? Where 0:42:19.840 --> 0:42:23.160 would you sell it? Well, you've got a couple options. Yeah, 0:42:23.200 --> 0:42:24.719 you're definitely not going to go back. You probably don't 0:42:24.719 --> 0:42:26.680 want to return the new phone by now. I assume 0:42:26.680 --> 0:42:30.280 you also upgraded your phone. But I would do two things. 0:42:31.120 --> 0:42:33.520 Number One, if you don't care about the money, you 0:42:33.560 --> 0:42:36.040 can keep this as a backup phone. So if something 0:42:36.040 --> 0:42:38.560 ever happens to your new iPhone, you've got a backup device, 0:42:39.000 --> 0:42:40.840 and that is not a bad thing to have just 0:42:40.880 --> 0:42:42.640 sitting around the house. You can always use a different 0:42:43.000 --> 0:42:45.440 an old iPhone for something, even if it's like a 0:42:45.520 --> 0:42:50.279 music player or a remote control whatever. Now, if you'd 0:42:50.320 --> 0:42:52.279 like to just rid this thing of your life, you 0:42:52.320 --> 0:42:54.040 do have to erase all your data from it. Make 0:42:54.040 --> 0:42:56.680 sure you do that now. The way that I have 0:42:56.840 --> 0:42:59.359 sold old iPhones in the past, if I'm not keeping them, 0:42:59.800 --> 0:43:03.000 is to friends and family because it's so easy. You 0:43:03.000 --> 0:43:04.680 don't have to deal with eBay, you don't have to 0:43:04.680 --> 0:43:07.879 deal with a third party website. Someone out there on 0:43:07.960 --> 0:43:10.799 your social networks needs a new phone. Now, I don't 0:43:10.800 --> 0:43:13.399 know how old this phone is, so but you never know. 0:43:13.680 --> 0:43:15.960 There's a lot of people out there, and in my 0:43:16.200 --> 0:43:18.880 history I have posted I can remember at least twice 0:43:18.880 --> 0:43:22.360 where boom. People buy these things in seconds and the 0:43:22.400 --> 0:43:23.920 good news is you're selling it to a friend, so 0:43:23.960 --> 0:43:26.759 it's easier. You can just give it to them, or 0:43:26.960 --> 0:43:29.319 I should say get it to them because you can 0:43:29.440 --> 0:43:31.640 you can make money off the deal, or I should 0:43:31.680 --> 0:43:34.560 say you should there should be a transaction unless you're 0:43:34.560 --> 0:43:36.319 giving it to them. I've given phones to friends and 0:43:36.360 --> 0:43:40.240 family as well. But just make a post on Facebook 0:43:40.280 --> 0:43:41.959 or Instagram and say, hey, I've got my old phone. 0:43:42.719 --> 0:43:44.920 Hey it's the screen is chipped, if you want to 0:43:44.920 --> 0:43:47.280 do it that way, or you can get the screen 0:43:47.320 --> 0:43:49.200 fixed if you want to be really nice and get 0:43:49.200 --> 0:43:50.600 a little bit more money for it. But you have 0:43:50.680 --> 0:43:53.440 to kind of take everything into consideration, see how much 0:43:53.440 --> 0:43:55.920 it is to get this thing repaired, and factor all 0:43:55.920 --> 0:43:57.840 that in. Also to get kind of an idea of 0:43:57.840 --> 0:43:59.640 the price you should charge for this phone. I would 0:43:59.640 --> 0:44:02.880 just go on a site like Swapa or eBay and 0:44:02.960 --> 0:44:05.239 see what people are charging for that phone, whether it's 0:44:05.320 --> 0:44:08.160 cracked or not cracked. And then if it's friends and family, 0:44:08.200 --> 0:44:11.319 you're not gonna charge the same amount because the reason 0:44:11.360 --> 0:44:13.600 you're selling to friends and family, Let's say you probably 0:44:13.640 --> 0:44:15.920 want to take ten percent off the price because by 0:44:15.920 --> 0:44:18.719 the time you give eBay their cut and ship it out, 0:44:18.960 --> 0:44:21.360 you know, you're talking ten to twenty percent of the 0:44:21.400 --> 0:44:23.960 price of the purchase price, and you know, collect the payment, 0:44:24.920 --> 0:44:27.160 so you can offer this to your friends at a 0:44:27.200 --> 0:44:30.600 discount at a lower price than they would purchase it 0:44:30.680 --> 0:44:34.319 from eBay four. So that would be my advice, you know, 0:44:34.360 --> 0:44:36.880 And if you need to get it fixed, actually, Swapa 0:44:36.920 --> 0:44:39.719 has a new repair section of their website where you 0:44:39.719 --> 0:44:43.759 can find a repair place that has a thirty day guarantee. 0:44:43.920 --> 0:44:46.000 So you can go to swapa dot com slash repair, 0:44:46.440 --> 0:44:48.120 or you can check out a U break I Fix, 0:44:48.200 --> 0:44:49.960 I like that place there in a lot of areas, 0:44:50.000 --> 0:44:53.319 and that's another way you can do it. All right, 0:44:53.640 --> 0:44:55.920 show is almost is pretty much over, so I'm just 0:44:55.920 --> 0:44:58.040 gonna get through two more stories real quick, just so 0:44:58.080 --> 0:45:02.880 you guys are up to date. Microsoft Store is closing sadly, 0:45:03.000 --> 0:45:06.759 all physical locations or a majority of physical locations of 0:45:06.800 --> 0:45:10.080 the Microsoft Store are closing, and they paint a Rosie 0:45:10.120 --> 0:45:12.960 picture for the retail team members that work there. So 0:45:13.120 --> 0:45:14.759 I don't know if they're losing their jobs or they're 0:45:14.760 --> 0:45:16.920 going to move on to different positions in the company, 0:45:16.960 --> 0:45:18.799 but they say they're kind of going to go to 0:45:18.960 --> 0:45:24.800 corporate facilities or continue to serve customers remotely, providing sales, 0:45:24.840 --> 0:45:28.600 training and support. So I guess Microsoft decided they don't 0:45:28.600 --> 0:45:31.239 really need these stores. And if you ever went to 0:45:31.320 --> 0:45:34.000 a mall where there's a Microsoft store and an Apple store, 0:45:34.040 --> 0:45:36.400 it's kind of sad because the Apple store would be 0:45:36.440 --> 0:45:39.960 packed and the Microsoft store would be empty, and it's 0:45:40.040 --> 0:45:42.920 just I don't know, you know, And it's probably because 0:45:43.280 --> 0:45:45.160 ninety nine percent of the people in the Apple store 0:45:45.160 --> 0:45:48.040 there for an iPhone, and then they see an iPad, 0:45:48.080 --> 0:45:51.919 and then they see maccomputer and then they see all 0:45:51.920 --> 0:45:54.640 these other things and they just get it. Whereas with Microsoft, 0:45:54.920 --> 0:45:58.440 most people have a Microsoft computer and that's about it. 0:45:58.520 --> 0:46:01.360 They don't need to go in for repairs and questions 0:46:01.400 --> 0:46:03.400 and things all the time, so they just Microsoft just 0:46:03.440 --> 0:46:06.239 has a different business. So they are going to keep 0:46:06.400 --> 0:46:09.360 Microsoft Experience centers in London, New York, Sydney, and on 0:46:09.400 --> 0:46:13.200 their campus in Redmond, Washington, but that's it. And the 0:46:13.200 --> 0:46:16.040 stores have been closed since late March, which means it's 0:46:16.120 --> 0:46:18.640 kind of sad that they're just not going to reopen, 0:46:19.080 --> 0:46:23.120 which is really really crazy. So that's sad. And on 0:46:23.160 --> 0:46:25.719 a final note, Google nest Hub Max, I don't know 0:46:25.760 --> 0:46:28.440 how many of you have one of these, but if 0:46:28.520 --> 0:46:31.239 you do, they've added some pretty cool features. You can 0:46:31.239 --> 0:46:35.279 now do group calling, which is really cool. So you 0:46:35.280 --> 0:46:37.920 can say, h, Google, make a group call, and you 0:46:37.960 --> 0:46:39.719 have to set up your groups in duo on the 0:46:39.760 --> 0:46:41.920 app first before you do this on the screen, But 0:46:41.960 --> 0:46:45.239 once you do, you can meet with those people on 0:46:45.320 --> 0:46:47.560 duo and Duo is up to thirty two people. But 0:46:47.680 --> 0:46:49.360 if you really want to take it to the next level, 0:46:49.560 --> 0:46:51.440 you can connect with up to one hundred people on 0:46:51.520 --> 0:46:55.040 Google Meet right from this little nest Hub Max. And 0:46:55.320 --> 0:46:57.839 if you're not familiar with the Nest Hub Max, this 0:46:57.920 --> 0:47:01.239 is their smart display that's also smart speaker, but it 0:47:01.239 --> 0:47:03.160 also has a camera inside and the screen is a 0:47:03.160 --> 0:47:06.200 little bit bigger, and this is really really cool. You 0:47:06.200 --> 0:47:08.440 can also have a speed dial for your contact so 0:47:08.480 --> 0:47:10.719 you can call them from this thing. But here's my 0:47:10.800 --> 0:47:14.319 favorite part is that you can use Google Meet to 0:47:14.360 --> 0:47:16.880 start your meeting and you can just say h Google, 0:47:16.960 --> 0:47:18.920 start a meeting to connect with up to one hundred 0:47:18.920 --> 0:47:21.760 people on Google Meet. Or you can say join a meeting, 0:47:22.200 --> 0:47:24.279 or you can say join my next meeting if your 0:47:24.320 --> 0:47:26.680 meeting is in your calendar, and it will just automatically 0:47:26.719 --> 0:47:28.320 do that. Now, why do I think that's so cool 0:47:28.800 --> 0:47:30.359 is because let's say you had one of these things 0:47:30.400 --> 0:47:33.720 on your desk, it now frees up your computer because 0:47:33.760 --> 0:47:35.560 you can type on your computer and do all that stuff. 0:47:35.600 --> 0:47:38.640 But you're joining your meeting, your group meeting from the 0:47:38.719 --> 0:47:42.080 nest hub Max. I'm saying all this with the reality 0:47:42.080 --> 0:47:45.680 that nobody's using Google Meet except people that are forced to, 0:47:45.760 --> 0:47:49.360 perhaps from their organization, and ninety nine point nine percent 0:47:49.360 --> 0:47:52.919 of people are actually just using Zoom. So I wish 0:47:53.000 --> 0:47:56.280 that Google would have enabled Zoom functionality on there because 0:47:56.560 --> 0:47:58.560 it would have been a game changer and people probably 0:47:58.560 --> 0:48:00.839 would have bought these things for that. But again, there 0:48:00.840 --> 0:48:04.000 are two competing companies, and everything we have nowadays with 0:48:04.120 --> 0:48:07.399 technology has to live in a silo by some unspoken rules. 0:48:07.480 --> 0:48:10.880 So sadly we're all being pushed to silos, and I 0:48:10.920 --> 0:48:14.960 don't see a day where nest hub Max is going 0:48:15.000 --> 0:48:18.520 to work with Zoom. So sadly, all right, that's gonna 0:48:18.520 --> 0:48:21.319 do it for this episode of the show. Can you 0:48:21.400 --> 0:48:24.560 believe it's over? I've got some housekeeping. I was on 0:48:24.800 --> 0:48:29.040 Brian Tong's Apple Bits XL podcast, So if you know 0:48:29.080 --> 0:48:30.560 Brian Tong, him and I used to work at c 0:48:30.680 --> 0:48:33.680 neet together and he went off on his own became 0:48:33.880 --> 0:48:36.520 very successful as a YouTuber. I couldn't believe. I just 0:48:36.600 --> 0:48:39.160 checked his Twitter and wow, he's got a lot of 0:48:39.160 --> 0:48:42.799 Twitter followers. He's got hundreds of thousands of YouTube subscribers, 0:48:42.840 --> 0:48:45.480 so he is killing it on his own. Good job, 0:48:45.600 --> 0:48:49.120 Brian Tong. Check out his podcast called Apple Bits XL. 0:48:49.719 --> 0:48:53.120 I'm on the latest show talking about WWDC and all 0:48:53.160 --> 0:48:56.400 the announcements.
