00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: in the final stretch of the holiday shopping season, and

28
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: of course I found myself this week going shopping. So

29
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: what did I do? I headed to the mall. Wait, what,

30
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: rich You're the tech guy, Why are you going to

31
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: the mall. Shouldn't you be ordering everything online? I get

32
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: very nostalgic around the holidays, and I still think that

33
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: the mall is a fantastic way to, you know, get

34
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: that sarahdipity of like walking into the candle store and

35
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: be like, Oh, that smells good, let me buy one

36
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: of those, or you know, smelling the cinnabonds and getting

37
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: one of those, or you know anything. I guess it

38
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: all has to do with a lot of sense being

39
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: piped into the mall, and I'm a sucker for all

40
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 1: of them.

41
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: So I kind of liked that I went to a

42
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: bunch of different stores.

43
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: I was actually on the hunt for a specific product

44
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: that was very tough to find, and I was getting

45
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 1: a little frustrated because I was like, this is why

46
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,839
Speaker 1: I shop online. But I kept going and I ended

47
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: up finding it, and so it was fun and it

48
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: felt like I accomplished something. And anyway, on the way

49
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: to the mall, I tell you all this because on

50
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: the way to the mall, I passed by a best

51
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: Buy and it had this big sign said newly redesigned,

52
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: and I was like, ooh, I gotta go in there

53
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: and check it out. And so I went inside. The

54
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: first thing I noticed outside they had these new lockers

55
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: that you can buy online and pick up outside the store,

56
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: so the store doesn't even have to be opened. It's

57
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: like a twenty four seven kind of thing. But this

58
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: is an experience store. I looked up did some research

59
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: and they're opening these across the country and so I

60
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: guess the first one was in Houston in twenty twenty,

61
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: and now we're getting them in other places. So the

62
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: Redesign store have like, you know, all these little places

63
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: for brands, like they had like fitness, They had home

64
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: audio theater, like luxury appliances. The geek Squad was set

65
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: up more like kind of an Apple store. They almost

66
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: had an Apple store inside the Best Buy store. So

67
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: it was really really cool, and it seemed like they

68
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: had a lot more selection as well, which I thought

69
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: was really neat. But when I posted this to my

70
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: Instagram listener, Jim said, hey, Rich, did you notice the

71
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: big difference? And I said, what? No CDs or DVDs.

72
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: They are a thing of the past, a relic in

73
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: this newly redesigned Best Buy. And oh my gosh, I

74
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: can't believe that I didn't notice that inside the store.

75
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, the whole center of the store used to

76
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: be dedicated to movies and music and that is no

77
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: longer a thing. So another part of my childhood and

78
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: growing up is gone, just erased off the list of memories.

79
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: And this got me to thinking, what about all the

80
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: technology in my short lifetime that I enjoyed? Watch Go

81
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: In and watch Go Out? And so I made a list,

82
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: starting with the pager. I mean, these are things that

83
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: you just don't think of on a daily basis.

84
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 2: The pager.

85
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: I remember, I thought I was so cool when I

86
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: had a beeper, and.

87
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: I remember the company that I went to. It was

88
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 2: called like Smart.

89
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: Beep, and it was like five ninety nine a month

90
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: for all the beeps you can get, and someone would

91
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: send a message while it started out a phone number,

92
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: and then eventually it was like a text message to

93
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: your beeper and you would call them back. I mean,

94
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: what a wild thing to think about. Now you had

95
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: to find a payphone to go call them back. Portable

96
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: CD player This is how I ran, Like back in

97
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: the day, I would run with a portable CD player

98
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 1: and the thing would jump all over the place, like

99
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: you couldn't run with a portable CD player. I had

100
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: one mounted in my car in like the center area.

101
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: I like, I mounted it there. Floppy discs, I mean

102
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: one disc. If you want to install something on your computer,

103
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,239
Speaker 1: you had to have like a series of eight, ten, twelve, fourteen,

104
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,679
Speaker 1: sixteen discs. And I remember just taking one out, putting

105
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: the next one in, taking one out, putting the next

106
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: one in. I think they carried like one megabyte one

107
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: point four to four or something like that. I don't

108
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: quote me, but yeah, not very much. VCRs. I remember

109
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: when we got a VCR in the house. It was

110
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: like this was the future of everything. You could watch

111
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: movies in your house and you had to rewind them

112
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: and the tape would get stuck once in a while.

113
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: And that lasted for a long time until we upgraded

114
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: to the DVD player. And I remember the very first

115
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: movie we ever watched on it it was Fargo, and

116
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: we watched the heck out of that movie because guess what,

117
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: you weren't really buying a lot of DVDs back in

118
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: the day because they were expensive. So you had a

119
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: couple and you just watched them over and over and

120
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: over and you and you marveled at how clear they

121
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: were on that screen. Oh, this is really really clear

122
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: compared to a VCR. And now you look at it

123
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: and you're like, eh, not so good. Going back a

124
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: little bit, the Walkman, so of course everyone had a Walkman.

125
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 2: This puts Sony on the map.

126
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Sony was the tech company back in the day,

127
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: and they still do a lot of cool stuff, but

128
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: I mean they're still have the PlayStation obviously, but the

129
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: Walkman was like, you knew you were living large when

130
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: you had the Walkman. You put those headphones on, you

131
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: put that cassette tape in, you pressed play.

132
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 2: It was very TecTile and it was awesome.

133
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: Two TVs, of course, plasma TVs later, those were you know,

134
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: big and heavy, the Sony Tranatron. If you had that

135
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: in your house, you were you were rich. Basically, you

136
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,559
Speaker 1: were you were like really doing well, Uh, what else?

137
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: Dial up internet modems? Dial up modems. I remember the

138
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: sound a would make when you connected to AOL, and

139
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: I remember waiting AOL at one point in my youth

140
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: had a message on the screen that said the Internet

141
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: is coming soon. Like there was a point when I

142
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,679
Speaker 1: was waiting to get on the Internet, and that dial

143
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: up modem sound was just so iconic, and when you

144
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: heard it, you knew if you were connecting at a

145
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: high speed, which was not really that fast, or a

146
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: low speed, because of the way that sound, the way

147
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: it made that sound towards the end, that digital handshake. Oh,

148
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: how about this one? A fax machine? I mean, I

149
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: remember going with my dad to it might have been

150
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: Crazy Eddies. I grew up back in New Jersey and

151
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: Crazy eddy Our prices are insane. We had so many stores.

152
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: I didn't even get to like the list of stores

153
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: that are no longer around. This is just the gadgets

154
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: that are no longer around. But a fax machine. I

155
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: remember the salesperson demoing the fax machine. You would put

156
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: a piece of paper in here and it would pop

157
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: out the other side, and I said, wait, what is

158
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: that magic? It was a copy of it, and it

159
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: took me a bit to figure that out. As a kid.

160
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: Uh oh yeah, Bobo chimed in with a calculator watch.

161
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: Oh I had one of these, the Cassio. I thought

162
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: it was so cool. Ah, the calculator watch. My friend

163
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: still has one. I think it's like an I think

164
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: it's like everything old is New again kind of thing.

165
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 2: I mean, the list goes on and on. Camquarterers.

166
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: I remember getting a Camquarder and back in the day,

167
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: they had these specialized electronics stores and they you went

168
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: to an electronic store to buy this stuff.

169
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 2: So it wasn't like you went to a Best Buy

170
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: per se.

171
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: You went to like a local electronics store where they

172
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: had salespeople that you know, they were the smartest kids

173
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: in the room because they were nerdy and they knew

174
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: about this stuff and you didn't, and they could sell

175
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: you anything. Oh, this has the twenty times optical zoom.

176
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: Wasn't even optical. It was like digital zoom. Oh this

177
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: has got the twenty times digital zoom with the titles

178
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: you can do. I mean, it was this was a

179
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: wild time. A couple other things. Cameras. I remember getting

180
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: my first one ten film camera. It was like a

181
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: cartridge you would put in there GPS navigation, I mean

182
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: like a garment or a tom Tom. We used to

183
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: put a GPS navigator in our car, and then the

184
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: phone took it over.

185
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 2: And I remember when the phone took it over.

186
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: It was it was the Moto Droid was the first

187
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: phone to have turn by turn Google Maps.

188
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 2: And I went to Verizon.

189
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: I waited in line, and I put that in my

190
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: car and I threw out my GPS. I said, I

191
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: don't need you anymore. I've got my phone.

192
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 2: Now. Two more things, answering machines.

193
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: I mean, people used to leave a message, and if

194
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: you had parents in your house, they would say.

195
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 2: Don't answer the phone. Let them leave a message. I

196
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 2: want to hear what they're saying.

197
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 1: And then you never understand as a kid why your

198
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 1: parents didn't want to answer the phone and they'd want

199
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: to hear what this person was saying. And now as

200
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: an adult, of course, none of us answer our phone.

201
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: And finally, zip drives. I didn't have a zip drive ever,

202
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: but that was a big one. Zip drive was a

203
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: big thing back in the day. All right, coming up

204
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: on the show, that was fun. I just I love

205
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: researching this stuff and just it's like we all know

206
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: about that stuff. We didn't forget about it. It's still

207
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: in our brain. But you don't call up those memories

208
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: until you physically speak it and think about it. And

209
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: it's really fun to do. Thanks for joining me today

Speaker 2: Hey Mike, how you doing? Wow?

230
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,599
Speaker 1: Fan of the old podcast.

231
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been. I told the screener we were a

232
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 3: long time friends. I have people my promise to you

233
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 3: that I call in and ask you a question for you.

234
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 2: Love it, let's hear it.

235
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 3: Okay, I bought a new HP laptop seventeen inch. It's

236
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 3: for four Gigabyt one hundred and twenty eight K. But

237
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 3: I noticed when I went shopping for laptops they don't

238
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 3: do DVD's in them anymore, DVD players. Rather, I was wondering,

239
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 3: other than cost, is there a reason for that?

240
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 2: Good question?

241
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: And this is something that I remember when Apple ditched

242
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: the DVD player or the optical drive on their laptops

243
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: and everyone was up in arms. Why would Apple do this?

244
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 1: But now we've seen the trend with all of our

245
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: technology where we are getting less and less ways to

246
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: connect to you know, less ports, less things. It's all

247
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: USBC now. So here's the reason. I mean, the top

248
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 1: two reasons. Number one is that, like I just mentioned it,

249
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: best buy, they don't even sell these things anymore. You can't,

250
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: you know, you got to go to specialized places to

251
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: buy a DVD or a CD. I mean, they're just

252
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: not available in a lot of places.

253
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: That they used to be.

254
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: And why is that well streaming and downloads. Everything nowadays

255
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: is streamed, And why do companies like streaming Because you

256
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: don't actually own it. They love when you buy this

257
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 1: stuff on digital because most of the time you are

258
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 1: buying a limited right to the content, and if you

259
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: look in the fine print, it's not really yours. They

260
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: can take it away at any time, and we've seen

261
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: that happen over and over. So streaming gives these companies

262
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: more control over their content, which means they can monetize

263
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: it in new ways as time goes on. Also, downloads,

264
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: I mean everything now that you want to purchase software

265
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: wise isnloadable, and it's faster, it's easier, it costs less

266
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: for these companies to do, and there's less maintenance. And

267
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: by the way, if you're buying something that's on a CD,

268
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: like a software for instance, I mean, it's going to

269
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: be out of date before you even get it, and

270
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: you're going to need a software update. So when it

271
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: comes to computers and laptops and everything thin thin, thin,

272
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: I mean that is the name of the game. They

273
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: want these things to be smaller, they want them to

274
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: be easier, less moving parts, less things to break. I

275
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: mean that DVD tray or CD tray, when it pops out,

276
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: you can break it off, and so it's better for

277
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: these things just not to have it.

278
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: Now.

279
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: By the way, you can still purchase a external drive,

280
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: and there are people that still need these things. You know,

281
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: if you're archiving to a DVD or something like that,

282
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: or you're burning a CDX, you're a musician, whatever it is.

283
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: But I think you're probably sending all your stuff by

284
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: links anyway. But there are certain people that may need this,

285
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: and so yes, they still make these drives and you

286
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: can purchase them and add it on through a USB connection.

287
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: Good question, Mike. Great to hear from you. Mike was

288
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 1: a caller back in the day. This radio show has

289
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: its roots in a podcast that I used to do

290
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: where I used to rig up a phone to my

291
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: mixture board and try to get people to call in

292
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: and live stream on Facebook.

293
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 2: And so we've come.

294
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: A long way, but Mike was always there for the show.

295
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: So thanks for calling in, Mike, appreciate it. Let's go

296
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: to Craig in Des Moines. Craig, you're on with Rich.

297
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: How you doing Rich, I'm doing great. I hope you

298
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: can tell.

299
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I bought a new phone. I would the guy

300
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 4: called a head the new fifree. Well, I bought a

301
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 4: new trap, A fourteen that used to call me.

302
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 2: Okay, that's a I'm guessing that's a Samsung.

303
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 4: I'm guessing that's Mobo. Okay, now he's a very good phone. Biggle.

304
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

305
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: So uh, let me let me see here so that

306
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: a fourteen from Samsung is actually just with a quick

307
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: quick search here is like they're best selling phone somehow.

308
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: Let's see best selling phone in the world. So I'm

309
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: guessing that this has a combination of good price and

310
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: features for the money.

311
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 2: Let's see how much this thing costs.

312
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: So you're talking about looks like it's about two hundred

313
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: dollars and that's before any sort of carrier promotions. So

314
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: if I were you and you want to learn more

315
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: about this phone, I'd probably go to something like YouTube

316
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: and just do a quick search. I mean, the first

317
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: three videos I'm seeing are all about how it's a

318
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: top selling phone.

319
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 2: But then if you.

320
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: Go a little bit lower in the searches, you can

321
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: see they've got Samsung Galaxy A fourteen for beginners, learn

322
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: the basics and minutes, the good and the bad. They've

323
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: got all kinds of tips and tricks on these things.

324
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: So that's what I would do if you're looking to

325
00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: get some more information on this phone. It's it's a

326
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: top selling phone. Look, people forget that Samsung. They come

327
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: out with so many different phones. They've got so many

328
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: different models, and they are a very worldwide company. So

329
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: the A fourteen is part of their more budget lineup.

330
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: The A lineup is their budget, the S is their flagship,

331
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: and the Z is their foldables. So those are the

332
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: three lines that Samsung has a budget S you know,

333
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: premium flagships, and then the Z is the foldables. So

334
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: I think you got a great phone there for what

335
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: you need and hopefully it proves to be pretty good.

336
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: All right, Amazon, I want to tell you about this

337
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: before we had to break here. Amazon has a easy

338
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: new way to share photos among a group. This came

339
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: in just in time for the holidays. Event photos sharing.

340
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: You could open up the Amazon Photos app on iOS

341
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: for now in the upper right hand corner. There's a

342
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: little icon that looks like a party. You tap that

343
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: and you can now generate a link that you can

344
00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: share with guests and anyone can upload and contribute pictures

345
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: to this shared album even if they don't log in.

346
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: They don't even need an Amazon Photos account. And I

347
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: tested this the other night. I went to a group

348
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: game and I sent the link to everyone and people

349
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: did upload photos.

350
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 2: So anyway, open.

351
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: Up the Amazon Photos app look for the new party

352
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: icon if you want a very easy way to share

353
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: photos with a group. Andrew O'Hara with Apple Insider coming

00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: app or a just something's troubling, you give me a

361
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: call and we'll try to figure it out. Joining me

362
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: now is Andrew O'Hara of Apple Insider.

363
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 2: Andrew, thanks so much for joining me.

364
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, of course, Rich anytime.

365
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: So let's talk about this big software update that the

366
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: iPhone got iOS seventeen point two.

367
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 2: This was a big one. Huh.

368
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 6: This is a big update.

369
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 5: These point releases that are typically called are going to

370
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 5: be the big update between Apples yearly cycle, and we

371
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 5: have a ton of new features that arrived with this update.

372
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: So I think the most prominent one that I noticed

373
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: was the Journal app because it put a new icon

374
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: on my home screen. So what is the deal with

375
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: the new journal app?

376
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 5: Basically, the Apple has been, you know, exploring different first

377
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 5: party apps that it can offer users and doing it

378
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 5: in a very secure and private way, and the Journal app.

379
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 6: Is just the latest example of that.

380
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 5: So basically it is a fairly minimalistic journal app that

381
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 5: puts privacy and security front and center, so you're able

382
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 5: to share your thoughts, reflect on things, and it can

383
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 5: provide on device recommendations based on like where you've been,

384
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 5: what you've done, and you add things like photos and locations,

385
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 5: you know, obvious nippets, all of that, and it's just

386
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 5: like simplified journal app that you can look back on.

387
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: Andrew, I'm just you're breaking up just a little bit,

388
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: so I'm going to ask you to move to a

389
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: different a little bit of a better location for your signal,

390
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 1: but because I want to hear what you're saying, because

391
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: this stuff is really important. I noticed with the Journal app,

392
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: which I thought was really cool is that not only

393
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: did Apple introduce their own which is pretty basic, but

394
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: they also came up with this new system where pretty

395
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: much any journal app can tap into these new suggestions

396
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: that you're talking about and implement that in their app.

397
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: So the app that I use called day one, it said, hey,

398
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: do you want to try out these new suggestions? And

399
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: it's so cool because it'll say, we saw that you

400
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: recently went out to a basketball game, or you recently

401
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: connected with this person, and you can start an entry

402
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: based on things that you're doing in your life.

403
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 7: Exactly.

404
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 5: And it's processing all that stuff locally, which I think

405
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 5: is one of the important parts. It's not sending things

406
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 5: off to your server. It's being analyzed somewhere. It's all

407
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 5: happening on your iPhone.

408
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

409
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: That's the main thing is that these apps that you're downloading,

410
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: like if it's a third party app, is not getting

411
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: access to everything that it's seeing in those suggestions. And

412
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: that was kind of the brilliance of Apple's implementation there.

413
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: The action button on the iPhone fifteen and fifteen promacs

414
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: got a new option to translate.

415
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 2: I thought that was pretty cool. I tested this out.

416
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 5: For that action button, you know, hold down for a

417
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 5: second and it's going to pop up right on the

418
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 5: top of your screen. Allow you to translate a conversation

419
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,719
Speaker 5: in real time. So if you are traveling abroad you

420
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 5: don't know the local language, really easy to translate what

421
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 5: you're saying two another language, or what someone else is saying,

422
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 5: you know, back to English.

423
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 2: It's very cool and easy to do.

424
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: Okay, Andrew, we're still having trouble with the connection. What

425
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do is I'm gonna have Kim call you

426
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: at your phone number and we'll get you back on

427
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: on the regular phone line and we'll see if that helps.

428
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 2: So we'll come right back to you in just a

429
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 2: couple of minutes.

430
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: Here while we connect with Andrew, let me tell you

431
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: about this.

432
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 2: This is a feature that Apple.

433
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: They didn't add this in the new software update, but

434
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: it's coming soon to the iPhone. And this is a

435
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: new feature called stolen Device Protection. So this is something

436
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: that Wall Street Journal was reporting about. Basically, thieves were

437
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: watching people enter their passcodes into their iPhone and then

438
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: they would they would steal the iPhone and then use

439
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: that password to lock the victim out of their iCloud,

440
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: steal money, or gain access to all of their saved passwords,

441
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: and this was really a major problem. And so basically

442
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal reported about this a lot. They kept

443
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: kind of mentioning it, and Apple actually said, I guess

444
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 1: they took notice. And so now this stolen device protection

445
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: is in beta testing. It will be included in a

446
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: future software update. You will have to manually enable it.

447
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: But it's actually quite smart. So even if someone gets

448
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: your passcode, which by the way, you always protect that

449
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: and favor face ID or touch ID when possible. But

450
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: if this person steals your phone and they, let's say

451
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 1: it gets your passcode and they, of course they're going

452
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: to try to make like major changes to your account,

453
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: there's going to be an hour long delay. And if

454
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: you are away from your familiar location, so if you're

455
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: not at home, you're not at work, your phone is

456
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: not really going to allow these major changes. So that's

457
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: pretty smart because think about it, the person who steals

458
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: your phone is going to immediately take it to you know,

459
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: their underground layer or wherever they go where they're going

460
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: to steal phones and try to steal all your information.

461
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: So that was pretty cool. The other thing, and I

462
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: think I mentioned this on this very radio show. Is

463
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: the fact that iCloud keychain. You can unlock that with

464
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: a passcode and now, and that means someone would have

465
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: access to all of your passwords if they're stored on

466
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: your phone. And now you can't do that anymore. Now

467
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 1: you have to use face ID or touch ID to

468
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: authenticate that. So this is really smart. I think this

469
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: is great. Again, it's called stolen Device protection. You will

470
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,239
Speaker 1: have to activate it. But if you're worried about your

471
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: iPhone and someone's stealing all your information, that is something

472
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: that I think is going to be a great addition.

473
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: All right, I think we have Andrew back. Andrew you back.

474
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 6: I am bad. Okay, better than ever?

475
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: Ah, much better, much better. You sound great, Okay, So

476
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: let's talk about this now. This is really very specialized.

477
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: Back to the new features in iOS seventeen point two,

478
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: the spatial video capture. This is really for the upcoming

479
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: Vision Pro right.

480
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 6: Yes, this is basically right now almost exclusively for Vision

481
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 6: Pro when it launches early next year. There have been

482
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 6: some people who've been able to convert this spatial video

483
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 6: to work with other devices like the Quest that's out there,

484
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 6: but Apple designed this for Vision Pro and using the

485
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 6: fifteen Pro fifteen promacs, you can record all of your

486
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 6: kind of memories in spatial video and then play them

487
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 6: back on the Vision Pro when I launched it. So

488
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 6: it's kind of like you can start recording these things

489
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 6: now and then experience them once that headset comes out.

490
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 2: That's pretty cool.

491
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: And I actually, you know, I got a demo of

492
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: the Vision Pro now. I know they've given some of

493
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: the influencers like new demos of like the spatial video

494
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: capture and stuff. I didn't get that, but I saw

495
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: it in the original demo and I watched like these

496
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: kids like blowing out candles on a birthday cake, and

497
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: it was pretty wild. I mean, it's like it's it

498
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: looks like something out of a sci fi movie that

499
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: you're experiencing in real time.

500
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 6: It's really cool. And I think panorama photos are also

501
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 6: really going to look cool on Vision Pro. So I've

502
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 6: been capturing more spatial video now and a lot more

503
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 6: panorama than I ever had.

504
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: In the past to get prepared for that headset. You're

505
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna spring for the thirty five hundred bucks.

506
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: I guess you have to write because you need you

507
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: got to review it right.

508
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 6: You know, it's for the it's for work, all the

509
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 6: tell my accountant it's for work. But realistically too, even

510
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 6: if I wasn't, you know, picking up this first generation

511
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 6: unit that was going to be coming out of lower

512
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 6: cost units down the line, you know, like in another

513
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 6: year or so, And even if I didn't spend the

514
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 6: money on this original vision pro, I'd like to have

515
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 6: those things, you know, if I ever did pick one

516
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 6: up in even two years. So I don't see it

517
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 6: being bad to be prepared.

518
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: What other seven point seventeen point two features do you

519
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: think we should know about?

520
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 6: There's still a lot of really cool ones. One of

521
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 6: my favorite new ones is being able to ask SIORI

522
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 6: about health data on a type one diabetic and I

523
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 6: can just ask, you know, Apple assistant, well, what was

524
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 6: my blood shirted this morning? And if I have a

525
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 6: data in the health app, it's able to tell me.

526
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 6: You can also check things like your fitness rings, all

527
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 6: with your voice. There's a new Favorite Songs playlist, so

528
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 6: anything you've added as a favorite ines of Apple Music

529
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 6: can automatically be added to the Favorites playlist for you.

530
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 6: And g TOO is arriving on the iPhone thirteen and

531
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 6: the iPhone fourteen alongside the iPhone fifteen. Before CH two

532
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 6: chargers stake here before.

533
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 1: The holidays, and what is the advantage of the CHI

534
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: two chargers. I know that I interviewed someone at EFA

535
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: about them, and I mean number one, they're going to

536
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: come to Android as well, which is nice.

537
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 2: But what the advantages of G two.

538
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 6: Well, right now, before G two, there's two basic wireless standards.

539
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 6: You've got Apples mag Safe, which can do up to

540
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 6: fifteen lots of power on your iPhone. It's quite fast,

541
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 6: and at the same time, there's also regular CHI but

542
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 6: it will only go up to seven and a half

543
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 6: lots because of Apple plementations. Apple kind of almost open

544
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 6: source mag Safe and gave the Maxi technology to the

545
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 6: Wireless Power Consortion to build G two as this standard

546
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 6: that'll work across platforms, iPhone and androids. So when these

547
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 6: things come out, they're not going to require an Apple certification.

548
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 6: We should see lower price coins and the same fifteen

549
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 6: lots of magnetic charging that we're getting with mag Safe.

550
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 6: So I think this is just going to be meaning

551
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 6: a lot more choice for consumers at hopefully lower price points.

552
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: And I know you cover Apple stuff, but that it

553
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: sounds like there's going to be more like mag safe

554
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 1: style accessories for Android phones too.

555
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 2: Huh.

556
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 6: Absolutely, We've already seen like magnet inside of Android cases,

557
00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 6: but now I think we're going to start to see

558
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 6: flag Ship Android phones building in she too, which is

559
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 6: essentially mag stakes. So we're with mactually kind of coming

560
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 6: to Android. And yeah, that I mean, we're gonna get

561
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 6: a lot more accessories that are in work across platforms.

562
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: That's exciting, very cool stuff, very exciting. Apple iOS seventeen

563
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: point two. Do you recommend that people do these updates

564
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: the day they're released or do we have to wait

565
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:22,719
Speaker 1: a couple days anymore?

566
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 2: Or those days over of like issues with these things?

567
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 6: Well, Apple goes through some pretty stenuins beta cygles these days.

568
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 6: There is a public data that people can try out

569
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 6: ahead of time. By the time you know, we're getting

570
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 6: to a full release, they are pretty stable. I usually

571
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 6: recommend people maybe wait a day just to see if

572
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 6: there's any mass issue that happened to be impacting. But

573
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 6: right now I have not heard of any dat effects

574
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 6: from seventeen point two, and I think it's a pretty

575
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 6: safe update to download.

576
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did it. I got caught once. This was

577
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: many many years ago. I was one of those people

578
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: that would like continually do the update, like try to

579
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 1: like get it as soon as it came out, and

580
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: it bricked my phone for like twenty four hours.

581
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 2: My cellular did not work. And that was many many

582
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 2: years ago.

583
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: But I learned my lesson, and now I do it,

584
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: you know, maybe like the night or something like that,

585
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: Like I give it a couple hours at least.

586
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 6: Absolutely, I'm on the beta train perpetually, and it's definitely

587
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 6: it's caused problems and many times, but it's what I do, uh,

588
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 6: you know, just to get these speeches out there for everyone.

589
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 1: I mean, look, if you if you work for a

590
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: website named Apple Insider, you gotta do the update as

591
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 1: soon as it comes out. Andrew O'Hara, thanks so much

Speaker 2: Good morning, Rich, Good morning.

605
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 8: Yeah. I just wanted to take it back to the

606
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 8: early nineteen eighties.

607
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, okay, here we go.

608
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 8: Yeah. Back then I bought my first moblum there was

609
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 8: three hundred bus per second.

610
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 2: Oh wow, that's slow.

611
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 8: And well even further back before that, my first computer

612
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 8: was a Commodore VIC twenty. It had five K of memory,

613
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 8: and if you wanted to store a program, there's a

614
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 8: little cassette player that is connected to it, and you

615
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 8: could actually buy games the cassette to play with it.

616
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 2: Wow, a cassette to play a game.

617
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, you buy a little it's a cassette instead of

618
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 8: a you know, instead of a disk. It was a cassette.

619
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 8: Oh wow, we have a game like Raid on a

620
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 8: rat radio, you know, very printive games.

621
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 2: Okay, so that was a little bit different.

622
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: Okay, so you you've been you've been computing for a while,

623
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: it sounds like yes, And what do you make of.

624
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 2: What do you make of all the stuff today? Do

625
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 2: you keep up with it?

626
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:29,239
Speaker 9: Oh?

627
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 10: Yeah, I still I'm still a galer actually even today,

628
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 10: but I still keep up like that unless my son

629
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 10: is a he's a network engineer. So anything that I

630
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 10: lacked he helped.

631
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 8: Me out also. And what moved then I moved on

632
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 8: to an Apple to E. That was a big move

633
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 8: and it had a UH and it came with one

634
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 8: in five eight and a half in floppy dot. But

635
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 8: the main thing I was speaking about back then, in

636
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 8: the early eighties, there was a it was a network

637
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 8: or I don't even know what you called. It's called

638
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 8: the Okay, which which was after after a few years,

639
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 8: it was about all about buying Comfy Serve.

640
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 2: You probably, Oh yeah, I was on Comfy Surf okay.

641
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 9: Yeah.

642
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 8: Before that, it was the Force Okay. And that was

643
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 8: my first really my first bulletin boards system BBS exist,

644
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 8: and I still remember I couldn't I think that was

645
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 8: the highlight of that. I remember I couldn't figure out

646
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 8: this one part of this game called on Tima three

647
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 8: and I posted the question and I think something like

648
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 8: eleven year old kid gave me. The answer was wonderful.

649
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 2: I love it. I love that.

650
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: That's when the world was just like I think it

651
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: was like the same experience I had, that the world

652
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: just kind of like opened up to you like it

653
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: used to be in our lives. We had us, our friends,

654
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: our family, and it was kind of like limited to

655
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: the information that those people had or what you can

656
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: find the library. And then the idea that you can

657
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: post something online and get all these people to respond

658
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: is just incredible. And by the way, I used the

659
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: first time I ever looked up a not a cheat,

660
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: but like a tip on YouTube for a video game

661
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: was in Super Mario Odyssey and I'm sitting there playing

662
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: it on a Saturday morning and I'm like, I can't

663
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: beat this boss. I was like, I wonder if YouTube

664
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: has a video about this, And sure enough, I just

665
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: like watched all these videos and I beat the boss

666
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: in like an hour.

667
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm wondering how people nowadays. Well, you know, first

668
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 8: of all, before I even buy a game, I preview

669
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 8: it on YouTube.

670
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, of course.

671
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 8: Back in the day, you know, you just you're bonding

672
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 8: and hope that you enjoyed. But so as I say today,

673
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 8: you know, like any problem I had, you know, you

674
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 8: go to YouTube to figure it out.

675
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 11: You know.

676
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 8: See, I don't know how I did it before outside

677
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 8: of the source.

678
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,800

Speaker 1: that we have two Rons here? We have Ron and

686
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,040

687
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich.

688
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 12: Thank you Rich. I'm using a Google Pixel four A

689
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 12: and its security update period has lapsed, so they're not

690
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 12: doing any more security updates. I love the phone. That's

691
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 12: got a great camera. It's been fine for me, and

692
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 12: I don't want to spend the money to get another phone.

693
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 12: But what do you think should I have to do that?

694
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: Okay, So this I'm looking at this website. I don't

695
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: know if you've heard of it, called end of life

696
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: dot date.

697
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 2: Have you heard of that?

698
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 11: No? I haven't.

699
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: Okay, So it's a great website that gives you kind

700
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: of all of the the end dates of you know

701
00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: these phones devices anything. So the Pixel four A let's see,

702
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: it was released three years ago November fifth, twenty twenty

703
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,760
Speaker 1: and let's see the guaranteed security updates ended one month

704
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 1: and one week ago on November fourth, twenty twenty three.

705
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: So you're right in the fact that you are at

706
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: the end of life for this device. Now, does it

707
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 1: mean you have to get a new one immediately. No,

708
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: but it's a four A, it's a couple of years old,

709
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: and I would say right now during the holidays, the

710
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: Pixel eight is I know it's a little bit more

711
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: expensive than you know. You're saying you don't want to

712
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: spend the money, but the Pixel eight has got some

713
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: really good deals and they're doing seven years of security updates.

714
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: So if you spent the money now, you would get

715
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: seven more years of security updates for that Pixel eight.

716
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 1: And so I think that's probably the way you want

717
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: to go. Since you already know the Pixel phone, you

718
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: love it, it works great. I've been testing the Pixel

719
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,959
Speaker 1: eight Pro. It's one of my favorite phones of the year,

720
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: probably my favorite phone of the year with androids, and

721
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: so I think there's nothing to lose here except for

722
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: the that you know, just find a good deal on

723
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: this phone, on this Pixel eight, and I think that

724
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: you'll really like it. And the good news is everything's

725
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: going to transfer over nice and easily because you're going

726
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: from pixel to pixel.

727
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 9: Now.

728
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: I know pixels when they first came out, they were

729
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: given like unlimited photo storage and all this stuff that

730
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: is no longer a thing, but the pixels have been

731
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: getting more and more popular, and I think that the

732
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: reason I would recommend because you might be thinking, rich,

733
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: maybe I should go for the seven A because it's

734
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: a lot cheaper. That's kind of like the A line

735
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: on the pixel is the less expensive. It's more of

736
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: the budget pixel. So you've got the Pixel A, then

737
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 1: you've got the Pixel regular, the eight, and then you've

738
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 1: got the Pixel Pro. And so there's like three levels

739
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: of pixels every year, and the A model is like

740
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: the budget version, but this year's A model, the seven

741
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: A does not have the seven years of updates. So

742
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 1: for that reason, ron I would say go with the

743
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: Pixel eight. I think you'll love it and it'll be

744
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: a nice, nice upgrade from your current phone. All right,

745
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: coming up next is that smartphone listening to you. We're

746
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: gonna have the results of a surprising blog post, plus

747
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,879
Speaker 1: your calls at Triple eight rich one on one. You're

748
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: listening to rich on tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech.

749
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you talking technology at

750
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 1: Triple eight rich one oh one eight eight eight seven

751
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: four to two four one zero one. We are on

752
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,919
Speaker 1: the slide. If you were on a sled, this would

753
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 1: be the snowy hill in front of you, and there

754
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,439
Speaker 1: is no stopping before the holidays. You are just going

755
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: all the way down that hill. And yes, I did

756
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: that as a kid. I grew up in New Jersey

757
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 1: and we had snow. As soon as it would snow,

758
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: you go to the top of the hill and you

759
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 1: would just sled all the way. And where I lived,

760
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: the hill that we sled on led right into the highway.

761
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: So I don't think that nowadays people would be allowed

762
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 1: to do what we did. But we slid there all

763
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: day long, and for some reason, the snow in New

764
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: Jersey always melted like instantly, like you would get it

765
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: for one day. You might be at a holiday party.

766
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 1: Last night, I was hanging out with some friends at

767
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: a gathering, and you know, I had a drink in

768
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: my hand and my friend's like, oh, can I take

769
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 1: a sip? And I was like no, and he was

770
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 1: really like taking aback.

771
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 2: I was like, no, I don't.

772
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: I don't share my drinks. I you know, I don't

773
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: want to get sick. And so he was like, okay,

774
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,879
Speaker 1: I understand that. And I'm like, oh, my wife will

775
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 1: She'll share her drink at anyone. I go go ask

776
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: her for a sip and she's like, no, I don't. Anyway,

777
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: it got me to thinking that, you know, not everyone

778
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: feels the way I do, and so I put it

779
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: on my Facebook page, Facebook dot Com, slash rich on tech.

780
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: I said, a friend asks you for a sip of

781
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: your drink? Do you say yes or no? And, as

782
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: you might expect, through the miracle of Facebook, lots of

783
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: comments float in, and so I popped them into uh chat.

784
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: Gibten asked it to summarize them, and Chatchibat says the

785
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: comments on whether people would share a drink with someone

786
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: else show a mix of opinions. Some commenters are open

787
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,720
Speaker 1: to sharing, particularly with friends or family, and some suggest

788
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: using a fresh straw or pouring into another cup. On

789
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: the other hand, many express concerns about hygiene and germs.

790
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:13,280
Speaker 1: With some outright refusing to share. Some comments are humorous

791
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 1: while others are serious, reflecting the varied attitudes towards sharing

792
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: drinks and personal boundaries regarding health and safety. Yeah, some

793
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: people will like pour the drink into their mouth, you know,

794
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: like just like pour it from the top. I don't

795
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:27,839
Speaker 1: care if you want to drink it. I just don't

796
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: want to drink it after you drink it. I mean

797
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: nothing against you. I just you know, I want to

798
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: keep my streak of being in here to do my

799
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: radio show. And you know, it's tough. It's like this

800
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: is the season where everyone is sick. Triple eight Rich

Speaker 1: four one zero one. You can find me online at

00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 1: smartphone listening to you? I'll tell you about that right

805
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,959
Speaker 1: after we talked to Ron in Orange County.

806
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 2: You're on, You're on with Rich Rich.

807
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 11: How are you good? I hope. I am am a

808
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,839
Speaker 11: small businessman. I've been doing it for years and I'm

809
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 11: kind of like old school. And what my question is

810
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 11: is I need a software. I tried Trello and it's

811
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 11: too big for me. Something to organize me better. In

812
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 11: other words, taking my client's information. I have a certain

813
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 11: procedures that I do with him, certain tasks that I

814
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 11: have to do with it. You need to calendar it,

815
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,720
Speaker 11: I need to put them on a future mailing list.

816
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 11: And that type of thing helped me out.

817
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: Oh okay, So you need kind of like a like

818
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: a kind of a CMS, like almost like a content

819
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: management system or CRM, right.

820
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 11: Right, that maybe we'll bring up on a dashboard. I

821
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 11: would touch the client name and boom, it would show

822
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,919
Speaker 11: me everything that I've done, everything that I need to do,

823
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 11: everything that I maybe would like to do in the

824
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 11: future with them, and that type of thing.

825
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I and I've I've tried a lot

826
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 1: of these, uh you know a lot of these different

827
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: programs like I've tried to do list and uh Trello

828
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: like you mentioned, and I am on a pursuit to

829
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: get organized.

830
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 2: Notion is another one.

831
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: So I think, Yeah, Notion is like an all in

832
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 1: one kind of program that can do a lot of stuff.

833
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: I don't think specifically for what you want that's going

834
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 1: to do it, but what.

835
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 11: I would do one more thing, Rich, let me say

836
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 11: one more thing. I'm an older guy. Yeah, I for

837
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 11: me to learn something. It's a task if it is,

838
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 11: but I need something, but I don't need to go

839
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 11: through all the series of the learning process in order

840
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 11: to discovery that I don't need it.

841
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it's tough because you know, these all come

842
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: with a learning curve. And you know, my dad runs

843
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: a small business, and when I was younger, I would

844
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 1: always say, Dad, why aren't you doing things this way,

845
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: like this really high tech way? And he said, Rich,

846
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to do it that way.

847
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: Like I like my proposals and everything kind of done

848
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: the way I've done done them for years, and I

849
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: get that. So there always is a learning a learning

850
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: curve with some of these things. But what I would

851
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 1: say is that you probably need one of these kind

852
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: of one of these startups that is a little bit

853
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: like you know, Microsoft obviously has a program to do

854
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 1: something like this Salesforce SAP, but those are like the

855
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 1: big big companies, and I think what they offer is

856
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 1: probably going to be way too much for what you want.

857
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,359
Speaker 1: So I think you would probably want something that's more

858
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: geared towards a small business. And so the keyword that

859
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: you want to search online is CRM, right, and so

860
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,800
Speaker 1: CRM is a I gotta I gotta remember that's like

861
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: content Oh gosh, content relationship management. What does that stand for?

862
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: I gotta see what that stands for? Customer relationship management.

863
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: So that's the kind of program that you're looking for, right,

864
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 1: And I think some of the small businesses that do

865
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 1: stuff like that going to be something like Zoho z

866
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: O h o and spot hub Spot and those are

867
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 1: going to be some some places to start. The other

868
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: one that is a little bit more modern and kind

869
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 1: of new is a company called, let's see, this is

870
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,359
Speaker 1: called Fresh Sales. So that's Fresh Sales. And I when

871
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: I was doing stuff for my small my side business,

872
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: I guess you can call it. When I wrote my book,

873
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: I was using a what was I using? I was

874
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:28,879
Speaker 1: using oh my gosh, trying to remember it now, fresh

875
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 1: books I think it was called. And Fresh Books was

876
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: really really excellent. Everything was like very simple and clear

877
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: and new and modern, and that really appealed to me.

878
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: And that's accounting software. So I don't know if it's

879
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: exactly what you need, but that may be part of it.

880
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: But I think that's the main thing is you just

881
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: have to kind of look for one of these programs,

882
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: and I can't say which one's going to work for you.

883
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,399
Speaker 1: You have to look and read the website, and if

884
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: the website makes no sense to you, then I don't

885
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: think the program's going to make any sense to you.

886
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: But that's what my recommendation would be is just check out,

887
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: you know, take it and just kind of look through

888
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: these ones that I mentioned and see which one appeals

889
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: to you most, which one has the most generous kind

890
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:10,439
Speaker 1: of pricing that works for your company, and how long

891
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: the you know, like some of these have a demo

892
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: where you can go right on them and check it

893
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: out and see how it works and actually use it.

894
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 1: But I agree, I think you want something simple because

895
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: if it's not simple, you're just not going to use it.

896
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 1: And that's the main thing is you want to be

897
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: able to use this ron. So those are my suggestions.

898
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,879
Speaker 1: Now you've got your homework, take a look at them

899
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 1: and let me know what you think, and you can

900
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: email me at rich on tech dot TV.

901
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 2: I love getting follow.

902
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 1: Ups and I'll read those in the feedback segment later

903
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: in the show. Thanks for the call today, appreciate it.

904
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: So does your smartphone listen to you? Every person in

905
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: the world seems to have a hot take on this,

906
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 1: and you know you've already seen it. You talk about something,

907
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 1: next thing, you know it is advertising to you what

908
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: you just mentioned your friend on Instagram, Facebook, whatever. And

909
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 1: these companies forever have said we don't listen to you.

910
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 1: We can't listen to you. It's just not a thing.

911
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: But they have ways of scanning what you're doing. So

912
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: they're looking at, you know, a lot of different clues. Right,

913
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: So the people you hang out with, where your phone is,

914
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,439
Speaker 1: the locations you're at. Bluetooth sometimes, like I went into

915
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: CVS today and I said, hey, can we use Bluetooth

916
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 1: on your phone?

917
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 2: It's a beacon.

918
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: And what they're doing is, if it's being used, is

919
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 1: that they can see exactly where I am in that store.

920
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: So if I spent a lot of time in the

921
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 1: diaper aisle, they might end up sending me a coupon

922
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 1: for diapers. And yes, this stuff really really happens. There

923
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 1: is so there's entire you know, there are degrees in

924
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,240
Speaker 1: marketing that people have with data analytics for this stuff. Anyway,

925
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: four or four Media found a blog post from a

926
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 1: media group based out of Atlanta that said, yeah, we

927
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: can listen to people's smartphones and smart TVs. We can

928
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:54,760
Speaker 1: listen to their conversations, and we can target ads based

929
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 1: on these. We call it active listening. It picks up

930
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 1: conversations which help local advertise target consumers based on their

931
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: spoken words. The technology can detect phrases relevant to products

932
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:09,720
Speaker 1: and services. Now, as soon as this website posted about

933
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:13,959
Speaker 1: this active listening feature, the company offering it took down

934
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: the blog post, which of course just added some more

935
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: mystique to this whole thing. So now it is a

936
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 1: deleted blog post, and it did address the legality of

937
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 1: active listening, saying it was legal as long as it's

938
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: included in the terms of use when you download an

939
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: app or on your device. Now, who reads those? Nobody

940
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 1: reads those? So what does this all mean? I mean, look,

941
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, your phone is supposed

942
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 1: to tell you when your microphone is on. When it

943
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: is active, both iPhone and Android, you will see a

944
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: little icon in the upper right hand corner that will

945
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 1: light up when your microphone is on. And Apple added

946
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: this and Android added this as a way to show people, Hey,

947
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: this is putting you in control. You know when your

948
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: phone is listening to you, so take notice of that,

949
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: and you can actually look on your iPhone if you

950
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 1: swipe down from the upper right hand corner and something

951
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: was using your camera or your microphone, it will tell you.

952
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 1: It will actually keep a little kind of a notification

953
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: up there. See like I just did it, and it's

954
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: showing me that Instagram was using my camera. So if

955
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 1: you swipe down after you use something like an app,

956
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 1: it will tell you what it used. It's telling me

957
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: whether you use my location, Instagram used my camera. That's

958
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: on the iPhone and on Android, you can go into

959
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:31,879
Speaker 1: settings and see a history of which apps accessed your

960
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: microphone and camera. So, I don't know, this sounds a

961
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: little bit too odd. I don't think they would be

962
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: promoting the fact that they can listen to users conversations.

963
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 1: But because we've all seen that happen, we know it

964
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 1: definitely seems to be the case. All Right, the mystery

965
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: will just continue. Coming up on the show, We've got

966
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 1: Marcia Collier, author of eBay for Dummies. Marsha's going to

967
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 1: talk to us about tips and tricks for eBay and

968
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 1: a new feature on in Graham that can put you

969
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: anywhere thanks to the magic of AI eighty eight. Rich

970
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:09,720
Speaker 1: one oh one, you're listening to rich on Tech. Welcome

971
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here talking technology.

972
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:16,879
Speaker 1: I got a bit of feedback when we talk about

973
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: the songs that we play on the radio. The folks

974
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 1: that listen on the podcast don't get to hear them,

975
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 1: and so they're very upset when Bobo and I talked

976
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: back and forth about the merits of a song, and

977
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: I say, oh, I love this song and you can't

978
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,399
Speaker 1: hear it on the podcast because we strip it out.

979
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 1: And so I guess if I mentioned a song like

980
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 1: this one cold Play, I will say I listen. I

981
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:42,840
Speaker 1: think that CD was like one of the first that

982
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 1: I just like, I think it got burned out for

983
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: how much I listened to it, and.

984
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 2: I really listen.

985
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 1: I remember watching the video for Yellow and it was

986
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: so different because it was like just the main guy,

987
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:00,439
Speaker 1: Chris walking on a beach and like just the time.

988
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:05,720
Speaker 1: It was like all shot in one kind of one

989
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: shot the whole time, one steady shot, continuous and anyway,

990
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: So now you know I mentioned the song.

991
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 2: What was that song? Was that? That was a scientist?

992
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 2: Right Scientist? By Coldplay? There you go. Now I sounded

993
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 2: like DJ Rich.

994
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 1: Bobo actually is a DJ in his other capacity, so

995
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: he's probably laughing at me trying to be hey Rich

996
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 1: on the radio. By the way, and this is what

997
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 1: I love about this show. When we mentioned stuff, it

998
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:43,760
Speaker 1: is a community and so on Twitter, Peter says pipe

999
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: drive is a very easy CMS and that was for

1000
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:50,919
Speaker 1: our last caller, Ron in Orange County. So check out

1001
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: pipe Drive. And then when I googled pipe drive, they actually,

1002
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 1: this is the other thing. Sometimes when you google stuff

1003
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 1: you get the good alternatives to it ads and so

1004
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: it says you meant Honeybook, right, So Honeybook is the

1005
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 1: all in one small business CRM. So there's just you know,

1006
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: there's a lot of these things. Again, you know, you

1007
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta just pick which one works for you.

1008
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: Let's go to h Vivian. Vivian is in Sun City, California. Vivian,

1009
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:23,919
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich.

1010
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 13: Yes, uh, my usin has the I phone at S

1011
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 13: and we want to change to our new carrier. And

1012
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 13: they one that we're with, they're saying they can't.

1013
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 9: Unlock the phone.

1014
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 1: They can unlock the phone that you already have iPhone

1015
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: se right, and who did you buy the phone?

1016
00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:59,840
Speaker 6: From the mobile.

1017
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 1: Okay, so you bought it from T Mobile. How long

1018
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 1: have you had it?

1019
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 13: Okay?

1020
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 8: So?

1021
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 11: Uh?

1022
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,280
Speaker 2: And are you on any sort of contract with T Mobile?

1023
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:13,839
Speaker 11: No?

1024
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 1: Okay, So T mobile sim unlock policy is at least

1025
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:21,279
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty five days. So typically when you

1026
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 1: buy a device from one cellular company, they and not

1027
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 1: all of them do this, by the way.

1028
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 2: Some of them do, some of them don't.

1029
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,839
Speaker 1: You really have to, and it's it's less prevalent than

1030
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 1: it was back in the day, but still especially with

1031
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:39,280
Speaker 1: the contracts you know, nowadays, it's much more monetary based.

1032
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 1: Where let's say you get a free iPhone quote unquote

1033
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,800
Speaker 1: free iPhone from Verizon or AT and T or T Mobile,

1034
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 1: it's not really free. They basically give you a pro

1035
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: rated credit every month, so they divide that credit over

1036
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 1: two years or three years, and you get that credit

1037
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: towards the price of that phone. And if you leave,

1038
00:50:57,800 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 1: you can take the phone, but they're gonna just gonna

1039
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:01,879
Speaker 1: charge you for the rest of it. So if your

1040
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: device is free and clear and paid for, then you

1041
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 1: can request from your carrier to unlock it. And from

1042
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 1: what I'm seeing on T Mobile's website to unlock a phone,

1043
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,799
Speaker 1: we will unlock it free of charge. Device eligibility is

1044
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 1: the terminus follows. Device must be sold by T Mobile,

1045
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 1: must not be reported as lost or stolen, must be

1046
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 1: in good standing, and you must have been active on

1047
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 1: the pre the network for forty days if it was

1048
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:34,359
Speaker 1: financed release, all payments must be made. The balance must

1049
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:40,919
Speaker 1: be zero and that should satisfy it. So if you're

1050
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: running into issues with the unlock, you know, it seems

1051
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 1: like you just need to keep calling back until you

1052
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:50,360
Speaker 1: get someone, or you can keep escalating it to a

1053
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 1: different person at T Mobile. But it sounds like there

1054
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:57,320
Speaker 1: should be no reason why your phone shouldn't be unlocked now. Also,

1055
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 1: you may you may try this Vivian is go into

1056
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 1: your settings and then if you go into let's see here.

1057
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 1: If you go into settings and I believe general and about,

1058
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 1: there is a place where it will tell you if

1059
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 1: there's a carrier lock. So on the iPhone again, go

1060
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 1: to Settings, General, About and scroll down a little bit

1061
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: and it says carrier lock, and it will say no

1062
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: SIM restrictions if your phone is unlocked and ready to go.

1063
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 1: So you may not even need to go through T

1064
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 1: Mobile to bring this to a different company, unless the

1065
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 1: company you're trying to bring it to is saying you

1066
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 1: can't bring it because it's locked. But the whole simlock

1067
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:42,879
Speaker 1: thing is kind of annoying for sure. It's mostly when

1068
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 1: you buy the gadget through the cellular company. But again,

1069
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 1: they all have different rules and regulations for.

1070
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:51,800
Speaker 2: When they will unlock this phone.

1071
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 1: So if you feel like you're in the right and

1072
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: everything should be fine, then I would just go ahead

1073
00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 1: and keep calling back or keep escalating the customer service

1074
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:03,920
Speaker 1: call until you get someone who can actually do what

1075
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 1: you need to do. Thanks for the call, Vivian in

1076
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 1: Sun City. I hope you get that figured out, because

1077
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: if you want to switch, that's always a nice thing

1078
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 1: to do if you want to get a better plan.

1079
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 1: E three is permanently shutting down. This is the big

1080
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 1: video game conference that usually happens in Los Angeles June

1081
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:25,959
Speaker 1: every year. It's been going on since nineteen ninety five.

1082
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 1: During COVID, there's a lot of cancelations. They canceled it

1083
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. It never fully recovered. Then it went

1084
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 1: all virtual exhibitors were dropping out. Sony does their own thing, Nintendo, Microsoft,

1085
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 1: they all kind of changed gears so E three the

1086
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 1: Big Video Game.

Speaker 2: Wow. That is wild and it's been a while.

1100
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 1: I actually we did a story for KTLA many many

1101
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 1: years ago.

1102
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,359
Speaker 2: I'm talking you were over here at my house. Yes,

1103
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 2: I was. I remember.

1104
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 1: Let me see I can actually get thanks to the

1105
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 1: magic of Gmail. This was in twenty fourteen that we

1106
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,719
Speaker 1: did this story. So you're talking almost ten years ago.

1107
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 1: That is absolutely wild, and you were talking ebab.

1108
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:52,359
Speaker 2: Back ten love.

1109
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:55,279
Speaker 7: Don't you love the way you can look up on Gmail? Yes,

1110
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 7: I did something in that. Let me look that keyword

1111
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 7: it's there. Yes, I love and the one time you

1112
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 7: need it, though, you can't find it. That's the only problem.

1113
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,280
Speaker 7: This one came up very quickly because I just searched

1114
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,359
Speaker 7: eBay for dummies. So let's talk about eBay. Give me

1115
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 7: the state of the union with eBay. I mean, obviously

1116
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:16,720
Speaker 7: still the number one kind of website for buying and selling.

1117
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:20,359
Speaker 7: What's the deal with eBay in twenty twenty three? Okay? Well,

1118
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,840
Speaker 7: I started on eBay before it was eBay in nineteen

1119
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 7: ninety seven. It was auction Web and it didn't become

1120
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:28,399
Speaker 7: eBay till nineteen ninety eight.

1121
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 1: Oh, I put that little nugget of knowledge in your

1122
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 1: trivia for when you're on Jeopardy.

1123
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,760
Speaker 2: It was it was called auction Web, auction Web.

1124
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:40,360
Speaker 7: Yes, I even have some printouts of sales that I

1125
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 7: made during those times, and I was doing a lot

1126
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 7: of shopping, so I got to learn the site real early.

1127
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:48,760
Speaker 7: How has it evolved over the years, Well, it's gotten bigger,

1128
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:51,799
Speaker 7: it is, and I do not work for eBay. I

1129
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 7: want to preface this. I'm an independent and everything I'm

1130
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 7: telling you is from my heart. I did teach for

1131
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 7: eBay University throughout the aughts, and I was working for

1132
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 7: the agency with eBay, And so I love eBay because

1133
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 7: you've got a worldwide audience for your stuff. You've got

1134
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:18,840
Speaker 7: want somebody who wants to buy baseball caps. Did you

1135
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 7: know that baseball caps? They love them all over the world.

1136
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 7: You get a Maserati one, you know, at a press thing,

1137
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 7: you put it up on those Gibson baseball hats. People

1138
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 7: buy them. Everything you want to sell grandma's old postcards.

1139
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:39,760
Speaker 7: There are postcard collectors, stamp collectors, coin collectors. I've been selling.

1140
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 7: I'm a top rated seller. And to be a top

1141
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 7: rated seller, you have to keep a certain customer service going,

1142
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:48,400
Speaker 7: which is kind of what led me to my customer

1143
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:49,240
Speaker 7: service passion.

1144
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 1: Well, eBay is the perfect store. And this is what

1145
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:55,840
Speaker 1: I always loved about it. When it's just if there's

1146
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 1: something on there and there's the buyer, you know, you

1147
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 1: set the price, and you know you come up with

1148
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 1: a price that you both agree on. And that's what's

1149
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:05,880
Speaker 1: like the most amazing part about it and why I

1150
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 1: think this became so popular. But here's my question, because

1151
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: right now a lot of people are using these new

1152
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: services like the let gos and the offer ups and

1153
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 1: the Facebook marketplaces. Where do you see eBay. You know

1154
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 1: when should you use eBay and when should you use

1155
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 1: one of those?

1156
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 7: Well, first of all, just to correct you, on eBay,

1157
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 7: you don't decide on a price. Sellers can put a

1158
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 7: fixed price item up on eBay, just as if you

1159
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 7: were buying on another platform. There are also still auctions,

1160
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 7: and there's also make offer, which is kind of what

1161
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 7: you were talking about if somebody you know wants to

1162
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 7: make an offer on an item. But what sets it

1163
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:49,439
Speaker 7: aside really is its person to person. Yeah, you've got

1164
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 7: big companies on eBay, and the best part of shopping

1165
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 7: on eBay for anybody who's listening is they have a

1166
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 7: buyer protection. Anytime you buy something on eBay and it

1167
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 7: arrives damaged, or arrives not as existent, or you get

1168
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 7: something else, maybe the seller made a mistake and sent

1169
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 7: out different items to different people, you can get your

1170
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 7: money back. But I always recommend that if you open

1171
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 7: a box and it's not as described, message the seller

1172
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 7: through eBay, let them know what the problem is, allow

1173
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:28,920
Speaker 7: them to make it right before you push the button,

1174
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 7: say I want to return it, I want a refund,

1175
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 7: Because a lot of time sellers will make it right

1176
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 7: on their own and then you're not dinging their reputation

1177
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 7: on eBay.

1178
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, unless they are doing this with malicious intent.

1179
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 1: You know, things get jostled around in the mail or

1180
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 1: in shipping and something of rives broken or it's you know,

1181
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 1: it's a little bit different. I think most people are

1182
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 1: pretty good. And if you immediately go to that negative feedback, it,

1183
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 1: like you said, it does ruin there. They don't want that,

1184
00:58:57,040 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: and so they'd rather send you another one or make

1185
00:58:59,880 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 1: it right.

1186
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 7: So exactly, and when you're selling on eBay, remember you

1187
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:09,760
Speaker 7: are generally dealing with a mom and pop operation. They

1188
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 7: may have many more, they may just have a few,

1189
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 7: and they want to make it right for you rather

1190
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 7: than going through the procedure on eBay. And again, just

1191
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 7: clicking I want to return the item really doesn't solve anything.

1192
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 7: The seller gets charged generally for the shipping back, and

1193
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:29,480
Speaker 7: it may not be worth it to them. Sometimes they

1194
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 7: say just keep it.

1195
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 1: So, if we're listing something on eBay, how do you

1196
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 1: stand out? I mean there's probably a lot of things

1197
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 1: on there. I mean, what are some tips and tricks

1198
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 1: for that?

1199
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:43,480
Speaker 7: Okay, well, absolutely, when you're listing on eBay, you should

1200
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 7: go through everything. I'm looking at something I listed recently

1201
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:52,480
Speaker 7: that just sold. There's something called item specifics that when

1202
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 7: you're listing an item, it might be the universal product

1203
00:59:56,640 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 7: code on the box, if you have the box, manufacture

1204
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 7: part number, what color is it? And each category of

1205
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 7: eBay has its own set of item specifics, the manufacturer,

1206
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 7: what model it is from that manufacture, what features does

1207
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 7: it have? And if you fill out all these things,

1208
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:20,200
Speaker 7: eBay is more likely to give you a preferential place

1209
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 7: in search. Also, eBay offers AI for their listings.

1210
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 2: I remember doing a story about that, but I haven't

1211
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:31,120
Speaker 2: tried it out. Is it pretty good?

1212
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 7: It's it's fanciful.

1213
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 2: Like all AI.

1214
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:40,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, right, it is. You know, fanciful if you know

1215
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 7: your product. And I always recommend if you're going to

1216
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 7: sell something on eBay, research it first, or have it

1217
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 7: be something you're familiar with, like Barbie Dolls. I sell

1218
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 7: Barbie Dolls. I know all there is about Barbie Dolls,

1219
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 7: so I know what to put in the description. If

1220
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 7: I have it converted to AI, it may not be

1221
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 7: as explicit as I want it to be. So you

1222
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 7: have the choice. If you don't know a lot about it,

1223
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 7: it will pick up the information from what you put

1224
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 7: in the item specifics. See, so that's why the specifics

1225
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:14,440
Speaker 7: are also important. And write up a paragraph for you.

1226
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:20,439
Speaker 7: But always always have a good description. And I said

1227
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 7: in nineteen ninety eight, have a description that explains the

1228
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:28,160
Speaker 7: item as well as if there was no picture. A

1229
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:30,439
Speaker 7: lot of people have quoted me on that, but that's

1230
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 7: the truth. Andys always well, always have a description that

1231
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 7: describes the item as if people couldn't see the picture,

1232
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 7: And have a picture that shows everything about the item

1233
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 7: where people wouldn't have to read the description. So by

1234
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:53,360
Speaker 7: doing those two things, you're really representing your item easily.

1235
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:56,439
Speaker 7: And it's not that difficult to do. It does take

1236
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:59,800
Speaker 7: a little time, but to do anything right and to

1237
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 7: get the largest amount of sales, you want to do

1238
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 7: it right.

1239
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 1: I've always seen those kind of clearance racks at like

1240
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:10,440
Speaker 1: Target or like office depot, and I'm always tempted. I'm like, oh,

1241
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:12,280
Speaker 1: I wonder if I can flip this stuff on eBay?

1242
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 2: Is that so that you could do?

1243
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:16,560
Speaker 7: Oh gosh, oh gosh, that's how I put my daughter

1244
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:17,840
Speaker 7: through prep school?

1245
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 2: Really.

1246
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:22,120
Speaker 7: Yeah. There used to be a store called Lomen's and

1247
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 7: and there are a lot of stores that are, you know,

1248
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:28,360
Speaker 7: like TJ Max the discount stores, as you mentioned, I

1249
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 7: would know when the sales started, and I would go

1250
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 7: in on that day. And let's say Diane von Furstenberg

1251
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 7: wrap dresses. I did real well with those because a

1252
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:43,280
Speaker 7: bunch of them went on sale. I bought like six

1253
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 7: or seven of them at seventy five dollars each, went

1254
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 7: smack dab right on eBay and sold them for one

1255
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 7: hundred and fifty dollars each, which was still cheaper than retail.

1256
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 7: So people were getting a bargain, but they didn't have access.

1257
01:02:57,040 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 7: And I don't think that's called retail arbitrage, but I

1258
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:03,480
Speaker 7: don't think of it as anything negative because if you

1259
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 7: know where to get something at a low price, then

1260
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:09,040
Speaker 7: why not do it and make a profit.

1261
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:12,920
Speaker 1: Wow, So people still can start this now, it's not

1262
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:13,479
Speaker 1: too late.

1263
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 7: Well, you don't only have to go out and buy things.

1264
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:20,720
Speaker 7: Look around your house. You got grandma's old china, sell

1265
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 7: it by the plate, anything you have around the house,

1266
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:26,960
Speaker 7: that place in the closet where people have given you

1267
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 7: gifts and you go, oh, yeah, I really don't want this,

1268
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:34,360
Speaker 7: pull it out, list it on eBay. It's doing you

1269
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:38,480
Speaker 7: no good. They said a few years ago that approximately

1270
01:03:38,560 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 7: twenty five hundred dollars worth of merchandise was hanging around

1271
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 7: everybody's house.

1272
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 2: Wow.

1273
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 1: Good to know, especially around the holidays when we're probably

1274
01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:49,919
Speaker 1: spending more than that's coming in.

1275
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 7: So yeah, I stopped doing it. But when I open presents,

1276
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 7: I used to have a separate This pile goes to Evah.

1277
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:58,000
Speaker 2: Don't do that in front of the person giving you

1278
01:03:58,040 --> 01:03:58,480
Speaker 2: the gift.

1279
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 7: Oh, this one right outed me.

1280
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 1: That's funny. I got a stamp my wife has. Actually,

1281
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 1: never mind, I'm not going to tell us stories out.

1282
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:08,440
Speaker 2: You know.

1283
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 1: Let's just put Regifting is definitely a thing sometimes so

1284
01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 1: people people do that, all right, Mark, you get money?

1285
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 1: Tell me about the book eBay for Dummies.

1286
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 7: Uh, eBay for Dummies gives you all the basics. It

1287
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 7: doesn't tell you any of the fancy stuff. And the

1288
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,320
Speaker 7: thing is, when you're selling on eBay or you're on

1289
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:30,520
Speaker 7: any platform, the basics are the most important thing. How

1290
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 7: to make your way through the website and be successful

1291
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:38,480
Speaker 7: as a beginner. Don't worry about all the offers, the ups,

1292
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 7: the extras. Just do what I say in the book

1293
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 7: or just the basics. When you're listing an item. eBay

1294
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:47,440
Speaker 7: gives a lot of directions, but don't go for the

1295
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:50,240
Speaker 7: ups and extras all the time. And if you have

1296
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 7: an item on eBay that's not selling, instead of relisting it,

1297
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 7: use the sell similar button because what that'll do is

1298
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 7: it'll start it as a new listing and it'll go

1299
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:03,280
Speaker 7: up to the top on eBay's servers.

1300
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 1: Oh I like that one. All right, we're gonna end

1301
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:07,800
Speaker 1: it there. eBay for Dummies. Marshall Collier, thanks so much

1312
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:38,439
Speaker 2: What would you need that for? Rich on Tech more

1313

1314
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here talking

1315
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:55,120
Speaker 1: technology with you. We just got some great tips on

1316
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:58,480
Speaker 1: selling on eBay. Makes me excited, It makes me want

1317
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:01,120
Speaker 1: to do that. I have always wanted to have like

1318
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 1: a little business on eBay. It'd be so fun, But

1319
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what would I sell. Selling my book

1320
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:07,680
Speaker 1: was probably the closest I had to that, but that

1321
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 1: was on Amazon eighty eight rich one O one eight

1322
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 1: eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

1323
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:19,520
Speaker 1: There's a new web browser with a panic button. I'll

1324
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:22,440
Speaker 1: tell you about that in a moment. Let's go to Beverly.

1325
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:27,080
Speaker 1: Beverly is in Los Angeles.

1326
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 2: You're on with Rich.

1327
01:06:29,560 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 14: Hi, Rich, how are you doing?

1328
01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:33,720
Speaker 2: I'm doing great, Thanks for calling.

1329
01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 14: Wonderful. Absolutely my family and I love your show. We

1330
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 14: learned something new every single week.

1331
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:43,000
Speaker 2: Ah. I love hearing that. Where's the bell? Bobo?

1332
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:49,400
Speaker 14: And so I really need your help. I have a

1333
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 14: really big gift.

1334
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:56,440
Speaker 1: Oh we got applause. Oh we got a pause for applause. Okay,

1335
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:58,680
Speaker 1: go ahead, Okay.

1336
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 14: I need to say in my W nine form to

1337
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:05,439
Speaker 14: an organization that I'm doing some work for and they

1338
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:07,960
Speaker 14: want me to email it to them, but I'm not

1339
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 14: sure that's the safest way to send it. Would encrypted

1340
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:13,160
Speaker 14: email be better?

1341
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 4: Or what do you recommend? Yeah?

1342
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:18,840
Speaker 1: I've gone through this too, And to be quite honest,

1343
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 1: you know, when I do freelance jobs, I always have

1344
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:26,000
Speaker 1: to send in my info and I always hate doing that,

1345
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 1: you know, because once it's on a piece of paper

1346
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 1: and in someone's email box, it is there forever and

1347
01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:35,800
Speaker 1: it can be forwarded and downloaded and sent around.

1348
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:37,680
Speaker 2: And so I understand the hesitation.

1349
01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:42,800
Speaker 1: With that said, I think that, you know, if you're

1350
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:45,160
Speaker 1: going to send it through Gmail or something like that,

1351
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:48,120
Speaker 1: it's probably going to be okay as long as they're

1352
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:50,320
Speaker 1: not forwarding it. I mean, I'd be more concerned about

1353
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:56,120
Speaker 1: it not getting misguided in transit from Gmail or something

1354
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:58,240
Speaker 1: like that, but I would be more concerned on the

1355
01:07:58,240 --> 01:07:59,960
Speaker 1: other end when they have it Like that's the big

1356
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:03,720
Speaker 1: concerned to me. Now, if you want something that's super

1357
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 1: secure and secure from the moment you send it to

1358
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:10,160
Speaker 1: the moment it arrives at their desktop, you probably want

1359
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:12,000
Speaker 1: something what's called end to end encryption.

1360
01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:13,520
Speaker 2: Right. Have you heard that term?

1361
01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 9: I have?

1362
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 1: Okay, So there's two types of encryption. There's end to end,

1363
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 1: which means from the moment it leaves your computer to

1364
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:22,679
Speaker 1: the moment it gets there, it is encrypted, which means

1365
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:26,559
Speaker 1: no one can unlock that file, even the provider most

1366
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 1: of the time.

1367
01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:27,360
Speaker 2: Right.

1368
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:31,080
Speaker 1: And then there's another kind of encryption, which is encrypted

1369
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 1: in transit, and that's actually a little bit cheaper for

1370
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:36,200
Speaker 1: companies to implement and a little bit easier, And so

1371
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:38,840
Speaker 1: most of the things we have nowadays are encrypted in

1372
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:43,720
Speaker 1: transit unless they specifically advertise end to end encryption. Right,

1373
01:08:44,360 --> 01:08:46,720
Speaker 1: So a couple of services I can recommend if you

1374
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 1: want to go outside of just sending this through your email.

1375
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:52,520
Speaker 1: And you can also, by the way, put a passcode

1376
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:55,759
Speaker 1: on this PDF if you want, I'm assuming it's a PDF,

1377
01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:57,519
Speaker 1: you can try doing that to give it an extra

1378
01:08:57,640 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 1: level of protection. But there's a Proton Have you heard

1379
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 1: of them? I have not, Okay, So Proton is a

1380
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:08,519
Speaker 1: great company. Their their whole thing is security, right, so,

1381
01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:14,240
Speaker 1: very very secure email, very secure when it comes to passwords.

1382
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:18,320
Speaker 1: And they also have Proton Drive, which is end to

1383
01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:22,879
Speaker 1: end encrypted file sharing, and so you can start sharing

1384
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:25,320
Speaker 1: on there for free. They always, you know, there's always

1385
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:28,080
Speaker 1: like a little level of sharing for free, and for

1386
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:31,719
Speaker 1: this case, it's up to one gigabyte, so that would.

1387
01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 2: One hundred percent work for you.

1388
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:35,680
Speaker 1: You just sign up, you can put your file in

1389
01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:37,880
Speaker 1: the drive, send a link to that file and it

1390
01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:42,400
Speaker 1: will all be encrypted for the whole time. The other one,

1391
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:44,320
Speaker 1: and this one is not as well known, but it's

1392
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 1: called Wormhole WO R M H O l E Wormhole

1393
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:52,920
Speaker 1: dot app. And this is really really simple. It's drag

1394
01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:55,920
Speaker 1: and drop, So you would just take your file, drag

1395
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:58,800
Speaker 1: it onto their website. It would generate a link and

1396
01:09:58,880 --> 01:10:01,240
Speaker 1: it is end to endingcrypt and you can say when

1397
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 1: you want that link to expire. So if you want

1398
01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:04,880
Speaker 1: someone to be able to download it once and then

1399
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:08,160
Speaker 1: it expires and goes away, that's a very safe way

1400
01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:11,519
Speaker 1: of doing that. So those are the two that I

1401
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:12,680
Speaker 1: would recommend for you.

1402
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:15,360
Speaker 14: Wonderful, Thank you so much.

1403
01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:17,320
Speaker 1: All right, Beverly, you're going to keep listening now that

1404
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:20,800
Speaker 1: you've gotten through the show and had your question answered.

1405
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:22,960
Speaker 1: I assume we didn't answer every question in your life.

1406
01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:26,760
Speaker 14: No, I am definitely going to keep listening. We my

1407
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:29,920
Speaker 14: family and I we were there for your original show,

1408
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:32,799
Speaker 14: so we listen every Weekah.

1409
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:32,800
Speaker 2: I love it.

1410
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:35,599
Speaker 1: Well, say hi to the family for me. Happy holidays, Beverly, thank.

1411
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:37,640
Speaker 6: You, thank you, Happy holidays.

1412
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:38,720
Speaker 2: All right, good luck with that.

1413
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:42,200
Speaker 1: And if you're sending a W nine, then it sounds

1414
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:44,280
Speaker 1: like you've got some money coming in, which is always nice.

1415
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:49,360
Speaker 1: Right eighty eight rich one O one eight eight eight

1416
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:54,799
Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one uh Opera

1417
01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:56,280
Speaker 1: Opera GX.

1418
01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:57,839
Speaker 2: This is a web browser.

1419
01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:01,519
Speaker 1: They have introduced a new feature called Panic Button, designed

1420
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:05,400
Speaker 1: to protect user screens from prying eyes. So, according to

1421
01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 1: a recent study, thirty six of respondents admit to accessing

1422
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:13,240
Speaker 1: inappropriate content while at school, work, or home. And that

1423
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:15,720
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily mean which you think it means. It could

1424
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:18,200
Speaker 1: be social media when you're not supposed to be looking

1425
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:20,920
Speaker 1: at It, could be games, could be online shopping, could

1426
01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:24,479
Speaker 1: be dating websites, and of course you know the stuff

1427
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:27,640
Speaker 1: you're thinking of too. But the panic button allows you

1428
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:30,760
Speaker 1: to quickly mute and pause playback from all tabs and

1429
01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:33,320
Speaker 1: open up a new window with a safe quote unquote

1430
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:35,400
Speaker 1: bland content. All you have to do is press the

1431
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:38,400
Speaker 1: F twelve key. You can choose a pre installed safe

1432
01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:42,080
Speaker 1: website or customize your own whatever you want if you

1433
01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:43,840
Speaker 1: want to use the panic button. This is on a

1434
01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:47,879
Speaker 1: specific web browser. Opera GX. This is a web browser

1435
01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 1: that is designed for gamers. You have to activate the

1436
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:54,639
Speaker 1: early bird option in the browser settings. You can download

1437
01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:58,719
Speaker 1: OPERAGX from Opera dot com slash GX And I would

1438
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:00,679
Speaker 1: argue that I actually think this is a good feature

1439
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:03,160
Speaker 1: in any web browser, like I think Chrome should do this,

1440
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:04,960
Speaker 1: Like you just need to be able to press something

1441
01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:08,960
Speaker 1: and do you know, pause all the audio, pause all

1442
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:10,920
Speaker 1: the websites that you're on and just come up with

1443
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 1: like the most boring looking spreadsheet. And you know, there's

1444
01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:16,519
Speaker 1: always those times when people just come up to your

1445
01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:18,439
Speaker 1: desk at work and you may be like surfing the

1446
01:12:18,439 --> 01:12:21,240
Speaker 1: web and shopping, and you don't want people to think

1447
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:24,040
Speaker 1: that you're not doing your work. And so this would

1448
01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:27,880
Speaker 1: be a nice feature to have for anyone. On Instagram,

1449
01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:30,360
Speaker 1: they have a new AI backed Oh this sounds like

1450
01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:34,960
Speaker 1: they're playing me off, Bobo. Bobo's playing me off. Eighty

1453
01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:42,240
Speaker 1: new AI backgrounds tool.

1454
01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:42,920
Speaker 2: Coming up.

01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:48,320

1458
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:02,560
Speaker 1: go to Manuel in Los Angeles.

1459
01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:06,000
Speaker 2: You're on with Rich. Welcome to the show.

1460
01:13:09,320 --> 01:13:14,400
Speaker 1: Hello, Manuel, you're on with Rich. Okay, I think I

1461
01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:17,800
Speaker 1: hear the radio in the background. I think maybe did

1462
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:20,800
Speaker 1: you fall asleep one more time?

1463
01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:21,840
Speaker 2: Manuel?

1464
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:22,519
Speaker 15: You there?

1465
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:27,879
Speaker 1: Okay, we're going to give you a minute to regroup,

1466
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:31,240
Speaker 1: and perhaps you'll you'll hear yourself in about a minute

1467
01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:33,160
Speaker 1: when I come through the radio saying your name, and

1468
01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:37,040
Speaker 1: that's when you'll realize, well, we wait for that. AI

1469
01:13:37,640 --> 01:13:39,880
Speaker 1: on Instagram. So if you go to my Instagram at

1470
01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:43,200
Speaker 1: rich on Tech, you will see me in a snow

1471
01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:48,160
Speaker 1: covered winter wonderland. But guess what on my Instagram stories

1472
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:50,559
Speaker 1: that is not where I was. I was not in snow.

1473
01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:52,840
Speaker 1: I was in the bathroom. It was there is a

1474
01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:56,160
Speaker 1: big mirror, and I took a picture, and it's a

1475
01:13:56,280 --> 01:14:02,240
Speaker 1: new feature called AI. See it's called backdrop, And so

1476
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:06,719
Speaker 1: this is an AI feature that lets you reimagine whatever

1477
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:10,000
Speaker 1: you want in the background of your picture. And you

1478
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:14,120
Speaker 1: take a picture, AI sort of traces the outline of

1479
01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:17,200
Speaker 1: your body and you can then type in what you

1480
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:20,040
Speaker 1: want the background to be. And so if you want

1481
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:23,120
Speaker 1: to be saying I'm being chased by dinosaurs or surrounded

1482
01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:26,320
Speaker 1: by puppies, or at a party or in New York City,

1483
01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:29,719
Speaker 1: whatever you want, you can do this and it's really

1484
01:14:30,200 --> 01:14:31,440
Speaker 1: pretty good.

1485
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:33,040
Speaker 2: So the way to do this is.

1486
01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:38,760
Speaker 1: Swipe into the stories on your Instagram and you can

1487
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:41,839
Speaker 1: upload a picture. So if you find a picture of yourself,

1488
01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:44,599
Speaker 1: and then you'll see a new icon up in the top.

1489
01:14:44,680 --> 01:14:46,640
Speaker 1: It looks like a little picture with a background and

1490
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:51,320
Speaker 1: it'll sparkle. You tap that, it will trace. It'll scan

1491
01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:54,040
Speaker 1: your picture, trace your outline, and then you'll get a

1492
01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:57,559
Speaker 1: text box and inside that textbox you type whatever you

1493
01:14:57,600 --> 01:15:00,519
Speaker 1: want and the suggestions it's giving me a right at

1494
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:03,679
Speaker 1: a birthday, bash, on a pink brick road, at summer camp,

1495
01:15:03,720 --> 01:15:07,320
Speaker 1: at a fast food joint, shipwrecked on a school bus.

1496
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:09,519
Speaker 1: And you can spin the dice and get more, or

1497
01:15:09,560 --> 01:15:12,240
Speaker 1: you can type in your own and AI once you

1498
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:14,000
Speaker 1: type it in will generate your background.

1499
01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:15,040
Speaker 2: It will look pretty.

1500
01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:17,679
Speaker 1: I mean I just did on a pink brick road

1501
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:20,439
Speaker 1: and I can't believe how good this looks. I mean,

1502
01:15:20,479 --> 01:15:23,719
Speaker 1: it is absolutely wild. So if you want to visit Japan,

1503
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:29,000
Speaker 1: you want to visit Italy, Ireland, Irish fields with cows

1504
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:32,360
Speaker 1: behind you. It is really really wild what you can

1505
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:34,680
Speaker 1: do with this, And I'm telling you it's just going

1506
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:36,800
Speaker 1: to be less and less of reality.

1507
01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:38,679
Speaker 2: And you can see the before and afters.

1508
01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:41,000
Speaker 1: I posted a couple before and afters on my stories,

1509
01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:43,640
Speaker 1: so you can see exactly what the picture looked like

1510
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:46,679
Speaker 1: before I affected it again. The feature is called AI

1511
01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:52,439
Speaker 1: Backdrop and it's inside Instagram Stories. Once you post a picture,

1512
01:15:52,479 --> 01:15:55,160
Speaker 1: look at the top row where you add text and

1513
01:15:55,160 --> 01:15:57,479
Speaker 1: stickers and music and all that stuff. You'll see a

1514
01:15:57,479 --> 01:16:00,240
Speaker 1: new little icon and that's how you access it. All right,

1515
01:16:00,280 --> 01:16:04,080
Speaker 1: I'm told Manuel is on? Manuel you're on with Wretch?

1516
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:06,080
Speaker 15: Hey Rich, how are you doing?

1517
01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:06,639
Speaker 2: I'm good?

1518
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:08,640
Speaker 1: What happened? You fall asleep waiting for me?

1519
01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:12,440
Speaker 15: No, I'm over here cleaning up my apartment.

1520
01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:13,120
Speaker 2: Ah. Nice?

1521
01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:15,320
Speaker 1: Okay, well that's always nice, getting a nice and fresh

1522
01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:17,360
Speaker 1: and clean before the party tonight.

1523
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:21,040
Speaker 15: That's right, that's right. Look, my friend, I watch you

1524
01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:25,880
Speaker 15: all the time on KTLA five. You for my question

1525
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:29,880
Speaker 15: is what are the brands that I can get out

1526
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:33,640
Speaker 15: there for the best value of my money for a

1527
01:16:33,720 --> 01:16:37,679
Speaker 15: computer at home and for the kids to have something

1528
01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:45,759
Speaker 15: on the go as a uh Mac pro, a laptop.

1529
01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:47,559
Speaker 2: Or what are you?

1530
01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:50,320
Speaker 1: Okay, how what are you using these computers for? Are

1531
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:52,040
Speaker 1: they just everyone's getting a computer or what?

1532
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:53,240
Speaker 11: Yeah?

1533
01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:56,000
Speaker 15: Yeah, I want them to have something for them. I

1534
01:16:56,040 --> 01:17:01,320
Speaker 15: want a computer station at home, and and also they

1535
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:04,120
Speaker 15: could be on the go because they're teenagers, they're going

1536
01:17:04,520 --> 01:17:05,200
Speaker 15: to school and.

1537
01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:07,080
Speaker 2: Know that you got it. So you want a computer

1538
01:17:07,160 --> 01:17:07,479
Speaker 2: for home.

1539
01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 1: For home computer, I'd recommend an all in one because

1540
01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 1: you're going to get the most bang for your buck

1541
01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:15,360
Speaker 1: for that. So if you're a member of Costco, they

1542
01:17:15,400 --> 01:17:18,479
Speaker 1: typically have one to two all in one computers that

1543
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:21,040
Speaker 1: are a really good deal, and so that's where i'd

1544
01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:23,800
Speaker 1: recommend getting that. And usually they're around five hundred to

1545
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:26,519
Speaker 1: seven hundred dollars and you get a little bit more

1546
01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:28,720
Speaker 1: than you get at a store like a Best Buy,

1547
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:31,840
Speaker 1: But i'd recommend the all in one. You can go

1548
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:34,639
Speaker 1: Windows or you know, Mac with that, but I would

1549
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:37,880
Speaker 1: I would say you probably like a Windows computer, be fine,

1550
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:40,719
Speaker 1: and just get the most you can get for the money.

1551
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:43,120
Speaker 1: So you know, look for the most memory, look for

1552
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:45,519
Speaker 1: the most storage. But that's what I do for the

1553
01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 1: home computer, because that's not going to move. You're just

1554
01:17:47,439 --> 01:17:50,080
Speaker 1: gonna put it somewhere. And so why get a laptop

1555
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:52,040
Speaker 1: which is going to be more expensive and the specs

1556
01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:54,000
Speaker 1: aren't going to be as good When you can get

1557
01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:55,639
Speaker 1: an all in one which is going to be less

1558
01:17:55,640 --> 01:17:58,160
Speaker 1: expensive and you're going to get better specs. You can

1559
01:17:58,200 --> 01:18:00,800
Speaker 1: also go to Best Buy for that and see I

1560
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:03,000
Speaker 1: was there, Like I said earlier, in the show a

1561
01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:04,920
Speaker 1: couple days ago, and they've got a lot of all

1562
01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:08,000
Speaker 1: in ones. My test for them was to open up

1563
01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:10,640
Speaker 1: the web browser and to do a quick surf of

1564
01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:13,880
Speaker 1: the web and see how fast it that accomplished. If

1565
01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:16,160
Speaker 1: you're noticing that it's taken a long time to do that,

1566
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:18,840
Speaker 1: you don't want that computer. And believe me, I went

1567
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:20,639
Speaker 1: through the line of like five or six of them,

1568
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:25,160
Speaker 1: and there was a definite difference between those. Now, when

1569
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:27,479
Speaker 1: it comes to the kids, if they're teenagers, are they

1570
01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:31,280
Speaker 1: in high school or college? Okay, so they're high school

1571
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:33,240
Speaker 1: and you want these computers to last a little bit.

1572
01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:35,280
Speaker 1: I know that people are gonna be like Rich, of

1573
01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 1: course you're gonna recommend a MacBook. You love Apple, you're

1574
01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:41,679
Speaker 1: an Apple fanboy. But I'm telling you the MacBooks are

1575
01:18:42,080 --> 01:18:45,840
Speaker 1: going to last a long time. They're gonna be really good,

1576
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:48,840
Speaker 1: the kids are gonna love them. And yes, they're a

1577
01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:51,759
Speaker 1: little bit more expensive on the outset, but I truly

1578
01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:56,160
Speaker 1: believe that they are an excellent value over the long term.

1579
01:18:56,240 --> 01:19:00,160
Speaker 1: And so I'd probably recommend a MacBook Air for the students,

1580
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:04,280
Speaker 1: which will last them at least four years, if not more.

1581
01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:06,479
Speaker 1: And I tell you this, because I buy a Mac

1582
01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:08,679
Speaker 1: computer every couple of years, and I give my old

1583
01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:11,519
Speaker 1: one to a family member. And I've got some family

1584
01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:14,360
Speaker 1: members using computers that are at least, you know, ten

1585
01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:16,400
Speaker 1: years old at this point, and they're still working.

1586
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:17,639
Speaker 2: And they're still working.

1587
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:22,439
Speaker 15: Yeah, that's my younger brother does. I used to work

1588
01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:26,040
Speaker 15: for Apple, so it gives us all his old stuff.

1589
01:19:26,360 --> 01:19:28,479
Speaker 1: Oh well, that's the best way to do it. Just

1590
01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:31,280
Speaker 1: ask him for a new one. That's the that's the

1591
01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:33,360
Speaker 1: number one thing to do. And then you go and

1592
01:19:33,400 --> 01:19:36,760
Speaker 1: buy your own. But look, and if you're looking for

1593
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:39,840
Speaker 1: a Windows computer, which are gonna be less expensive, you're

1594
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:42,200
Speaker 1: gonna have more choice when it comes to the different models.

1595
01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:45,120
Speaker 1: You know, you can't go wrong with certain companies like

1596
01:19:45,240 --> 01:19:51,599
Speaker 1: obviously HP Dell are very popular, Lenovo are always highly rated. Again,

1597
01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:55,559
Speaker 1: when it comes to the Windows computers, it's really to

1598
01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:58,400
Speaker 1: me a matter of preference. When it comes to the

1599
01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:00,160
Speaker 1: track pad, you want to make sure you get one

1600
01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:02,880
Speaker 1: that has a good track pad. I think Microsoft surface

1601
01:20:02,960 --> 01:20:06,360
Speaker 1: laptops are also really nice in that aspect. But I

1602
01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:08,599
Speaker 1: think it comes down to the memory and the hard drive.

1603
01:20:09,080 --> 01:20:11,640
Speaker 1: So you want to go with the most memory you

1604
01:20:11,680 --> 01:20:16,240
Speaker 1: can get. So I'm talking minimum sixteen gigabytes. The processor

1605
01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:19,720
Speaker 1: you want to go anything, I would say like an

1606
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:21,960
Speaker 1: Intel A five and up. So if you're looking at

1607
01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:25,439
Speaker 1: A three, an Intel Core I three, you don't want

1608
01:20:25,479 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 1: to do that because those are just going to be

1609
01:20:27,439 --> 01:20:29,960
Speaker 1: way too slow for you. So I'd say at least

1610
01:20:29,960 --> 01:20:32,439
Speaker 1: a minimum of Core I five, Core I seven is

1611
01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:34,320
Speaker 1: going to be higher. The higher the number there, the

1612
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:36,679
Speaker 1: better it's going to be. And then the hard drive,

1613
01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:41,960
Speaker 1: you know, you probably want minimum five twelve gigabytes, and

1614
01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:45,080
Speaker 1: if you can get an SSD which is a solid

1615
01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:48,000
Speaker 1: state drive, which I think most of the computers are

1616
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:52,000
Speaker 1: these days, but that's going to be the best, the

1617
01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:55,160
Speaker 1: fastest for that. And then when it comes to you know,

1618
01:20:55,240 --> 01:20:57,400
Speaker 1: little things like the ports. Just make sure it has

1619
01:20:57,439 --> 01:21:00,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of ports that your kids want. And you know,

1620
01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:02,960
Speaker 1: it's really when it comes to laptops, if you're looking

1621
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:06,519
Speaker 1: outside of Apple, there are so many choices, and it

1622
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:08,880
Speaker 1: really comes down to I think the specs and the

1623
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:11,240
Speaker 1: way that the computer physically looks like if it's big

1624
01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:14,840
Speaker 1: and bulky, your kids may not want that, and also

1625
01:21:14,880 --> 01:21:17,080
Speaker 1: the way the keyboard feels. So again, the more you

1626
01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:19,880
Speaker 1: can get into a store and test the keyboard, the

1627
01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 1: more comfortable you're gonna be. And I guess kids don't

1628
01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:24,920
Speaker 1: really touch type anymore, so they don't care as much

1629
01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:26,880
Speaker 1: about it that I do. I care about the way

1630
01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:29,439
Speaker 1: the keyboard touch types because I still I'm.

1631
01:21:29,320 --> 01:21:30,519
Speaker 2: Old school like that, you know.

1632
01:21:31,479 --> 01:21:33,640
Speaker 1: Okay, And then you got to figure out how you're

1633
01:21:33,640 --> 01:21:35,639
Speaker 1: going to pay for all these four laptops because that's

1634
01:21:35,680 --> 01:21:37,479
Speaker 1: not gonna be cheap all at once, so.

1635
01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:40,960
Speaker 2: Hopefully you got a plan for that as well. Does

1636
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:43,840
Speaker 2: that help you out? All right?

1637
01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:44,040
Speaker 8: Man?

1638
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:47,280
Speaker 1: Thanks for giving me a call today, and a good

1639
01:21:47,280 --> 01:21:49,960
Speaker 1: thing for cleaning up the apartment. I'm always you always

1640
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:52,439
Speaker 1: feel better when it's clean, right, Like, it just feels nicer,

1641
01:21:53,320 --> 01:21:53,840
Speaker 1: that's right.

1642
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:55,720
Speaker 15: Trying to get it done before the year, and so

1643
01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:57,360
Speaker 15: I could start a first few years.

1644
01:21:57,360 --> 01:22:01,160
Speaker 1: Ah, that's what I'm talking about. Yep, twenty four. Well,

1645
01:22:01,200 --> 01:22:04,599
Speaker 1: happy holidays and have a great.

1646
01:22:04,439 --> 01:22:06,800
Speaker 15: Day, uh you as will, my friend?

1647
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:07,960
Speaker 2: All right, thanks a lot.

1648
01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:12,600
Speaker 1: All right, let's see we got one minute, so I

1649
01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:14,320
Speaker 1: can tell you about one quick thing. I'll tell you

1650
01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:18,960
Speaker 1: about the new self service TSA checkpoint. What could possibly

1651
01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:22,120
Speaker 1: go wrong? This will happen in Las Vegas come January.

1652
01:22:22,600 --> 01:22:25,360
Speaker 1: It's called screening at speed. It's going to be at

1653
01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:29,680
Speaker 1: Harry Reid International Airport beginning January twenty twenty three. This

1654
01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:32,840
Speaker 1: is going to let people go through security screening all

1655
01:22:32,840 --> 01:22:36,559
Speaker 1: by themselves, so they basically come up against a computer screen.

1656
01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:39,320
Speaker 1: The computer will scan them, it will tell them if

1657
01:22:39,320 --> 01:22:41,160
Speaker 1: they need to take more things out of their pockets,

1658
01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:43,559
Speaker 1: if they have, like you know, something in there, and

1659
01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:47,000
Speaker 1: it will have an automated entry and exit doors. And

1660
01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:49,679
Speaker 1: so basically you can't get out of this thing until

1661
01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:52,280
Speaker 1: you get all the stuff out of your pockets and

1662
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:55,160
Speaker 1: the computer thinks you're okay to move on. And if

1663
01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:57,759
Speaker 1: you can, you don't have to see a TSA agent.

1664
01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:00,479
Speaker 1: If you can't, it will flip you over to a

1665
01:23:00,520 --> 01:23:06,559
Speaker 1: TSA officer. Pretty wild self service everything these days. Eighty

1666

Speaker 1: eight rich one O one eight eight eight seven four

1667
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:11,880
Speaker 1: two four to one zero one. Why does a minute

1668
01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:14,519
Speaker 1: sound so fast on the radio? How does that happen?

1669
01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 1: If you're listening to rich on Tech, Welcome back to

1670
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:21,519
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you,

1671
01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:26,120
Speaker 1: talking technology at Triple eight. Rich one O one eight

1672
01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:30,479
Speaker 1: eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

1673
01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:36,360
Speaker 1: Let's go to Neil Neil and Los Angeles you're on

1674
01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:36,800
Speaker 1: with Rich.

1675
01:23:37,880 --> 01:23:44,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, I have a hearing gaide system. It's called Resound,

1676
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:50,599
Speaker 9: and they offer a device that allows you to talk

1677
01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:54,479
Speaker 9: on the telephone and get it through your hearing aid

1678
01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:59,480
Speaker 9: very clearly. However, come to find out with the manufacturer

1679
01:23:59,520 --> 01:24:04,720
Speaker 9: of the hearing aid that my Samsung S eight is

1680
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:07,760
Speaker 9: not new enough everywhere in S nine or S ten

1681
01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:11,599
Speaker 9: or so they would have that program, but the essay doesn't.

1682
01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:14,640
Speaker 9: And so that puts me either in the market for

1683
01:24:14,720 --> 01:24:18,040
Speaker 9: a new one or or some go around that I

1684
01:24:18,040 --> 01:24:23,080
Speaker 9: can still get this feature with the hearing gad Okay.

1685
01:24:23,160 --> 01:24:25,919
Speaker 1: And what's the reason why the essay is not compatible?

1686
01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:28,120
Speaker 1: Is it a software issue or a hardware issued?

1687
01:24:28,240 --> 01:24:32,920
Speaker 9: They software, they don't offer the device. I guess in

1688
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:37,240
Speaker 9: the software that will that's adaptable to the ESS eight.

1689
01:24:37,520 --> 01:24:40,760
Speaker 2: Okay, And and did this us.

1690
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:45,240
Speaker 9: I've never had it before. I'm kind of new to

1691
01:24:45,320 --> 01:24:49,800
Speaker 9: hearing gags anyhow. But so, man, I'm talking to you

1692
01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:53,240
Speaker 9: now without hearing gate. But there's you know, I hear

1693
01:24:53,320 --> 01:24:58,280
Speaker 9: relatively reasonably well, but I miss letters at the beginning,

1694
01:24:58,280 --> 01:25:02,519
Speaker 9: which are typically hearing a issues. So this hearing aid

1695
01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:07,080
Speaker 9: would provide a opportunity. All I do is click it

1696
01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:13,400
Speaker 9: on my cell phone under phone, and I'm it's downloaded

1697
01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:15,760
Speaker 9: to my cell phone by the way in the software,

1698
01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:21,040
Speaker 9: and then I will be able to get the conversation

1699
01:25:21,400 --> 01:25:24,680
Speaker 9: on my hearing aid. I don't know if it's too convoluted,

1700
01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:27,599
Speaker 9: if you got the picture of what I'm trying to find.

1701
01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:29,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, I no, I totally understand. I mean,

1702
01:25:29,880 --> 01:25:30,360
Speaker 2: here's the thing.

1703
01:25:30,439 --> 01:25:34,800
Speaker 1: So, the Samsung Galaxy S eight was released in twenty seventeen,

1704
01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:39,599
Speaker 1: so you're talking, you know, four, five, six, almost seven

1705
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:43,040
Speaker 1: years old. So I'm assuming there's no more software updates

1706
01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:45,720
Speaker 1: for this, which puts it at a risk of you know,

1707
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:50,120
Speaker 1: viruses and malware and any sort of issues that could

1708
01:25:50,160 --> 01:25:53,160
Speaker 1: arise there. That's the least of my concerns. I don't

1709
01:25:53,160 --> 01:25:56,000
Speaker 1: think that's going to happen with you. But I would

1710
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:59,599
Speaker 1: say it sounds to me like these hearing aids are

1711
01:26:00,560 --> 01:26:04,120
Speaker 1: something that would be very beneficial to your everyday life,

1712
01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:07,840
Speaker 1: and so I would probably do anything I can to

1713
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:09,680
Speaker 1: get them to work with my phone. I don't think

1714
01:26:09,680 --> 01:26:13,000
Speaker 1: there's a workaround. I think that this resound company has

1715
01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:16,320
Speaker 1: tested the phones that this works with. They want it

1716
01:26:16,360 --> 01:26:18,719
Speaker 1: to be a good experience for you. Are these prescription

1717
01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:19,960
Speaker 1: or non prescription.

1718
01:26:20,240 --> 01:26:23,719
Speaker 9: Prescription through the ideology dequipment.

1719
01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:27,600
Speaker 1: Okay, So I would probably upgrade my phone. And I

1720
01:26:27,600 --> 01:26:30,439
Speaker 1: don't take upgrades lightly because I understand that it costs money,

1721
01:26:30,479 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 1: and I understand that not everyone wants to do that,

1722
01:26:32,920 --> 01:26:36,680
Speaker 1: but I think that the benefits outweigh the expenditure at

1723
01:26:36,680 --> 01:26:39,200
Speaker 1: this point. And you've already gone as far as getting

1724
01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:41,759
Speaker 1: these hearing aids. You want them to work with your phone,

1725
01:26:41,920 --> 01:26:44,080
Speaker 1: and I think if they don't, you're only getting half

1726
01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:45,280
Speaker 1: the benefit out of these.

1727
01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:48,120
Speaker 2: Correct, that's correct, Yeah, correct.

1728
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:51,639
Speaker 1: So I would I would kind of backtrack and see

1729
01:26:51,680 --> 01:26:54,400
Speaker 1: which phones are compatible with the hearing aids?

1730
01:26:54,479 --> 01:26:54,760
Speaker 11: Are you?

1731
01:26:55,960 --> 01:26:59,200
Speaker 9: From what I understand, most of the newer phones are

1732
01:26:59,240 --> 01:27:04,680
Speaker 9: all compatible, okay. And so I've had the Samsung to

1733
01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:09,439
Speaker 9: several generations, and I'm kind of wondering. I don't want

1734
01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:11,559
Speaker 9: a bigger phone than the Essay, and I just want

1735
01:27:12,040 --> 01:27:15,360
Speaker 9: that's a very adequate size. Okay, But I want a

1736
01:27:15,400 --> 01:27:18,760
Speaker 9: good phone, and I know my my children have the

1737
01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:25,280
Speaker 9: I'll have this marchphone, the iPhone, yes, iPhone, Yeah, and

1738
01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:25,920
Speaker 9: I don't want it.

1739
01:27:25,960 --> 01:27:26,880
Speaker 2: You don't want that, okay.

1740
01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:28,799
Speaker 9: I like the Android system.

1741
01:27:29,040 --> 01:27:31,880
Speaker 1: Well, I will tell you I've been testing the the

1742
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:36,120
Speaker 1: S twenty three f E, which is Samsung's newest phone,

1743
01:27:36,640 --> 01:27:40,120
Speaker 1: and it is a great device. If it's I would

1744
01:27:40,200 --> 01:27:42,479
Speaker 1: check to make sure it's compatible with the system, which

1745
01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 1: I would assume it is. If if they're saying the

1746
01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:47,360
Speaker 1: newer phones are, that phone is three hundred and ninety

1747
01:27:47,400 --> 01:27:50,439
Speaker 1: nine dollars right now. It was six hundred when it

1748
01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:53,400
Speaker 1: came out, but they have been discounting it, So I

1749
01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:56,960
Speaker 1: would check into that phone. The Samsung Galaxy S twenty

1750
01:27:57,040 --> 01:27:59,840
Speaker 1: three FE FE stands for sam.

1751
01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:05,559
Speaker 9: Make sure I got the twenty three whats f.

1752
01:28:05,560 --> 01:28:10,080
Speaker 1: E F as in Frank e as an echo. So yeah,

1753
01:28:10,120 --> 01:28:12,960
Speaker 1: so I would. And that's the FI, the twenty the

1754
01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:15,640
Speaker 1: S twenty three f E and that's the latest and

1755
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:19,040
Speaker 1: greatest from Samsung on their more budget line, so which

1756
01:28:19,080 --> 01:28:22,240
Speaker 1: you have the essay is their flagship line. This is

1757
01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:26,000
Speaker 1: just it's almost one step below, but it's still really

1758
01:28:26,040 --> 01:28:28,080
Speaker 1: good for the For the value you're getting out of

1759
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:31,360
Speaker 1: this phone, I think it is fantastic. So I would

1760
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:34,759
Speaker 1: check into that device. And I know it's four hundred dollars,

1761
01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:36,559
Speaker 1: but I think that true.

1762
01:28:36,600 --> 01:28:41,120
Speaker 9: Varieton that's been my carrier. They're offering me three hundred

1763
01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:46,920
Speaker 9: dollars off or three hundred dollars off, and if it's

1764
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:50,519
Speaker 9: only three hundred dollars and it's new, yeah, and I

1765
01:28:50,560 --> 01:28:52,760
Speaker 9: really I don't quite understand when the hook is.

1766
01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:54,439
Speaker 1: Well, the hook is that you have to stay with

1767
01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:57,120
Speaker 1: Verizon for three years or two to three years on

1768
01:28:57,160 --> 01:28:58,920
Speaker 1: that plan. But if you're if you're there anyway and

1769
01:28:58,960 --> 01:29:01,599
Speaker 1: you're not leaving, then you might as well take advantage

1770
01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:04,599
Speaker 1: you've been a customer. If they're giving you three hundred

1771
01:29:04,600 --> 01:29:06,880
Speaker 1: dollars off or whatever it is, then and they do

1772
01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:09,120
Speaker 1: offer it, I just confirmed I'm looking on the website.

1773
01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:11,840
Speaker 1: So I think, Neil, I think you got a little

1774
01:29:11,880 --> 01:29:14,519
Speaker 1: trip to Verizon in your future. And I think these

1775
01:29:15,479 --> 01:29:17,400
Speaker 1: hearing aids are going to work really nice and you're

1776
01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:18,320
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot happier.

Speaker 1: like that where we can really help someone kind of

1783
01:29:35,520 --> 01:29:38,720
Speaker 1: work through. I think Neil already knew the answer, you

1784
01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:40,320
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like he knew what he wanted

1785
01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:42,880
Speaker 1: to do. He just wanted that validation of Hey, Rich,

1786
01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:46,280
Speaker 1: am I missing something here? Or do I need to upgrade?

1787
01:29:46,320 --> 01:29:49,280
Speaker 1: And yes, the answer is it is time. And I

1788
01:29:49,280 --> 01:29:51,839
Speaker 1: think he'll be rocking a new S twenty three fe

1789

1803
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:36,920
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be something you don't understand. It

1804
01:30:36,960 --> 01:30:38,920
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be something you don't deal with because

Speaker 1: you don't want to break something. Have fun with it,

1810
01:30:54,600 --> 01:30:58,160
Speaker 1: Uh what was I this week? I had a fun experience.

1811
01:30:58,240 --> 01:31:01,160
Speaker 1: I uh threw out T shirts at a basketball game

1812
01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:02,840
Speaker 1: here locally in La, the Clippers.

1813
01:31:03,200 --> 01:31:05,360
Speaker 2: You might have heard of them. It was cool.

1814
01:31:05,400 --> 01:31:07,960
Speaker 1: I've never been on the court at a game, and

1815
01:31:08,360 --> 01:31:11,920
Speaker 1: it was such a wild experience because a You're under

1816
01:31:11,920 --> 01:31:13,600
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure to like throw this thing, like

1817
01:31:13,640 --> 01:31:15,519
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh gosh, like people are gonna be watching

1818
01:31:15,560 --> 01:31:20,240
Speaker 1: me throw, And I thought I did a good job.

1819
01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:22,519
Speaker 1: The thing went way further than I thought, Like I'm

1820
01:31:22,560 --> 01:31:25,960
Speaker 1: talking what's the two hundreds, you know, like not like.

1821
01:31:25,920 --> 01:31:27,920
Speaker 2: The floor level like up above. I was like I

1822
01:31:27,960 --> 01:31:28,760
Speaker 2: was almost there.

1823
01:31:30,720 --> 01:31:33,240
Speaker 1: And then the other thing I noticed is that when

1824
01:31:33,240 --> 01:31:35,559
Speaker 1: you have that many people in one place kind of

1825
01:31:35,560 --> 01:31:39,240
Speaker 1: looking at you, it's almost as if nobody's looking at

1826
01:31:39,280 --> 01:31:42,559
Speaker 1: you because there's so much going on that I thought

1827
01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:45,280
Speaker 1: it was like all eyes on me, oh my gosh,

1828
01:31:45,320 --> 01:31:47,280
Speaker 1: but no, it turned out to be almost the opposite,

1829
01:31:47,320 --> 01:31:50,520
Speaker 1: where there's so much to see and there's so much things,

1830
01:31:50,320 --> 01:31:52,200
Speaker 1: so many things happening, that you just kind of get

1831
01:31:52,280 --> 01:31:55,240
Speaker 1: lost in this whole world. So anyway, I guess if

1832
01:31:55,240 --> 01:31:57,960
Speaker 1: your tailor swift up there, you know, one person speaking

1833
01:31:58,000 --> 01:31:58,679
Speaker 1: to everyone.

1834
01:31:58,760 --> 01:31:59,360
Speaker 2: That's different.

1835
01:31:59,600 --> 01:32:01,280
Speaker 1: But when you're just kind of down there, you're you're

1836
01:32:01,360 --> 01:32:03,320
Speaker 1: kind of in with a lot of different people and things.

1837
01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:05,000
Speaker 2: So anyway, it's a fun experience.

1838
01:32:05,040 --> 01:32:08,639
Speaker 1: If you want to see the throw that I did,

1839
01:32:09,280 --> 01:32:12,200
Speaker 1: you can go to my Twitter Twitter dot com slash

1840
01:32:12,280 --> 01:32:16,120
Speaker 1: rich on Tech, go to my profile and hit highlights

1841
01:32:16,720 --> 01:32:19,400
Speaker 1: and you can see. The first highlight is the video

1842
01:32:19,640 --> 01:32:22,120
Speaker 1: of me throwing out the T shirt at the Clippers game.

1843
01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:24,240
Speaker 2: Let me know what you think of my technique.

1844
01:32:24,280 --> 01:32:27,240
Speaker 1: They slowed it down because the folks at the TV

1845
01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:29,880
Speaker 1: station were impressed with my throw. I was like, oh,

1846
01:32:29,880 --> 01:32:32,639
Speaker 1: all that football practice with my son in the street

1847
01:32:32,720 --> 01:32:38,240
Speaker 1: has paid off. Something else I tried this week Microsoft

1848
01:32:38,360 --> 01:32:42,360
Speaker 1: Office on the meta Quest. Yes, you can now do word,

1849
01:32:42,560 --> 01:32:47,559
Speaker 1: Excel and PowerPoint in virtual reality. I had to download

1850
01:32:47,560 --> 01:32:50,160
Speaker 1: this and try it for myself, so I charged up

1851
01:32:50,200 --> 01:32:53,080
Speaker 1: the meta Quest, I downloaded the app, which is very tiny,

1852
01:32:53,120 --> 01:32:56,400
Speaker 1: it's only like a megabyte, And next thing you know,

1853
01:32:56,520 --> 01:32:59,600
Speaker 1: I am typing a word document in virtual reality on

1854
01:32:59,640 --> 01:33:04,040
Speaker 1: a screen floating in front of me. And it's mixed reality,

1855
01:33:04,080 --> 01:33:07,280
Speaker 1: which means you still see your surroundings, but you see

1856
01:33:07,280 --> 01:33:10,400
Speaker 1: this big computer screen with a word document. Now I

1857
01:33:10,520 --> 01:33:12,800
Speaker 1: was using voice command, or I was just using the

1858
01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:15,479
Speaker 1: on screen keyboard, but you can connect a Bluetooth keyboard

1859
01:33:15,560 --> 01:33:19,200
Speaker 1: or a mouse. But this is pretty wild. I mean,

1860
01:33:19,240 --> 01:33:21,680
Speaker 1: I don't think that I would end up using this

1861
01:33:21,720 --> 01:33:23,679
Speaker 1: in a big way, but I immediately was like, oh,

1862
01:33:23,680 --> 01:33:25,519
Speaker 1: I wonder if I should check my email this way,

1863
01:33:26,040 --> 01:33:29,120
Speaker 1: because sometimes you can dictate an email response faster than

1864
01:33:29,160 --> 01:33:31,160
Speaker 1: you can write it or type it out. And so

1865
01:33:31,360 --> 01:33:33,360
Speaker 1: I could see myself sitting there for like an hour

1866
01:33:33,840 --> 01:33:38,280
Speaker 1: and just going through emails and like verbally saying the responses.

1867
01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:40,960
Speaker 1: But again, if you want to try this out, just

1868
01:33:41,400 --> 01:33:46,120
Speaker 1: fire up the metaquest. This is Meta's virtual reality headset.

1869
01:33:46,479 --> 01:33:50,040
Speaker 1: Open up the store and search for Microsoft Office, or

1870
01:33:50,040 --> 01:33:52,120
Speaker 1: you can search for word, Excel or PowerPoint.

1871
01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:53,760
Speaker 2: You download it, you sign in.

1872
01:33:53,840 --> 01:33:56,280
Speaker 1: Signing in was the trickiest part because you have to

1873
01:33:56,280 --> 01:33:59,200
Speaker 1: type in your password on the on screen keyboard. But

1874
01:33:59,240 --> 01:34:02,040
Speaker 1: I guess if you have a mouse or keyboard or connected,

1875
01:34:02,280 --> 01:34:06,200
Speaker 1: that'd be easier. I guess that's the whole idea of

1876
01:34:06,280 --> 01:34:09,400
Speaker 1: that MIC of the Apple one, the headset they're coming

1877
01:34:09,439 --> 01:34:11,439
Speaker 1: out with, that you'll be able to do work in

1878
01:34:11,680 --> 01:34:12,519
Speaker 1: virtual reality.

1879
01:34:12,600 --> 01:34:15,160
Speaker 2: I don't know how realistic that is, but we'll see.

1880
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:19,479
Speaker 1: Speaking of Apple, they're now selling a ninety nine dollars

1881
01:34:19,479 --> 01:34:24,280
Speaker 1: standalone USB C case for the AirPods Pro two. So

1882
01:34:24,320 --> 01:34:26,559
Speaker 1: when the AirPods Pro two came out, they had the

1883
01:34:26,640 --> 01:34:30,760
Speaker 1: USB C case and Apple said at that time they

1884
01:34:30,760 --> 01:34:32,479
Speaker 1: were not going to sell the case separately.

1885
01:34:32,840 --> 01:34:35,080
Speaker 2: Well, how things have changed in a couple of months.

1886
01:34:35,520 --> 01:34:37,680
Speaker 1: So now if you have the AirPods Pro two, but

1887
01:34:37,720 --> 01:34:40,080
Speaker 1: you have that lightning connector on the bottom and you

1888
01:34:40,120 --> 01:34:42,960
Speaker 1: want the USB C connector just because you have money

1889
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:44,600
Speaker 1: to burn, then you can do this.

1890
01:34:44,920 --> 01:34:46,559
Speaker 2: You can upgrade for ninety nine bucks.

1891
01:34:46,840 --> 01:34:49,360
Speaker 1: Now, in all seriousness, if you did upgrade, the only

1892
01:34:49,360 --> 01:34:52,439
Speaker 1: way I'd recommend doing this is if you upgraded to

1893
01:34:52,479 --> 01:34:56,120
Speaker 1: the iPhone fifteen Pro or sorry, the iPhone fifteen Pro

1894
01:34:56,320 --> 01:34:59,559
Speaker 1: or iPhone fifteen and you have now a USB C

1895
01:34:59,720 --> 01:35:02,840
Speaker 1: cable for your charger and you don't want to carry

1896
01:35:02,880 --> 01:35:06,240
Speaker 1: a separate lightning cable for your AirPods, And so that's

1897
01:35:06,280 --> 01:35:08,800
Speaker 1: the only reason I'd say maybe you would upgrade your case.

1898
01:35:09,640 --> 01:35:11,840
Speaker 1: But otherwise, I mean, just stick with what you got.

1899
01:35:11,840 --> 01:35:15,280
Speaker 1: It's the same exact air pods. The only difference is

1900
01:35:16,560 --> 01:35:19,920
Speaker 1: that they have a precision finding in the case. And

1901
01:35:19,920 --> 01:35:23,040
Speaker 1: this little speaker. So if you lose your stuff a lot,

1902
01:35:23,479 --> 01:35:25,320
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you would want the case because you

1903
01:35:25,320 --> 01:35:28,280
Speaker 1: could be able to find it easier. Again, you're not

1904
01:35:28,280 --> 01:35:30,080
Speaker 1: gonna be able to get this before the holidays. It's

1905
01:35:30,120 --> 01:35:32,760
Speaker 1: not shipping until December twenty seventh, so just keep that

1906
01:35:32,800 --> 01:35:38,519
Speaker 1: in mind. This was interesting on Reddit. Someone posted a

1907
01:35:38,560 --> 01:35:41,320
Speaker 1: picture of a one of those things where you're surfing

1908
01:35:41,360 --> 01:35:42,880
Speaker 1: the web and it's saying like, oh, we got to

1909
01:35:42,960 --> 01:35:45,120
Speaker 1: verify you are who you say you are where our

1910
01:35:45,160 --> 01:35:49,040
Speaker 1: systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This

1911
01:35:49,120 --> 01:35:51,400
Speaker 1: page checks to see if it's really you sending the

1912
01:35:51,439 --> 01:35:54,960
Speaker 1: requests and not a robot. And so someone said, why

1913
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:57,519
Speaker 1: is this happening every time I search in Safari? And

1914
01:35:57,560 --> 01:35:59,800
Speaker 1: I've actually seen this happen on my phone, and I

1915
01:35:59,840 --> 01:36:02,120
Speaker 1: was wondering, like, what am I doing differently? And here's

1916
01:36:02,160 --> 01:36:07,160
Speaker 1: the answer. It sounds like this is a byproduct of

1917
01:36:07,200 --> 01:36:11,679
Speaker 1: this new feature called iCloud Private Relay, And so on

1918
01:36:11,800 --> 01:36:15,080
Speaker 1: the Apple devices they added this thing that basically protects

1919
01:36:15,080 --> 01:36:18,360
Speaker 1: your privacy a little bit more for free called iCloud

1920
01:36:18,360 --> 01:36:23,120
Speaker 1: Private Relay. Protects your IP address and it masks your

1921
01:36:23,120 --> 01:36:27,040
Speaker 1: browsing for increased privacy. But when you do this, it

1922
01:36:27,080 --> 01:36:31,519
Speaker 1: triggers the security warnings on certain websites like Google, and

1923
01:36:31,520 --> 01:36:33,519
Speaker 1: that means you have to click this thing that says

1924
01:36:33,560 --> 01:36:34,920
Speaker 1: I'm not a robot, you know, and you have to

1925
01:36:34,920 --> 01:36:37,760
Speaker 1: like pick those pictures that says show me, select all

1926
01:36:37,800 --> 01:36:40,080
Speaker 1: the pictures that have a bicycle in them. And you're

1927
01:36:40,080 --> 01:36:42,240
Speaker 1: sitting there for like ten minutes looking at this thing

1928
01:36:42,280 --> 01:36:44,240
Speaker 1: and you're like, I don't know, is that a bicycle?

1929
01:36:44,720 --> 01:36:47,120
Speaker 1: It looks like a bike, And it ends up taking

1930
01:36:47,280 --> 01:36:50,400
Speaker 1: longer to do this than if you were actually just

1931
01:36:50,560 --> 01:36:55,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. So if you ever come across this

1932
01:36:55,400 --> 01:36:58,759
Speaker 1: this warning page that says our systems have detected unusual

1933
01:36:58,800 --> 01:37:02,360
Speaker 1: traffic from your computer at work and you are wondering

1934
01:37:02,400 --> 01:37:04,320
Speaker 1: why this is happening, you can go into your settings

1935
01:37:04,360 --> 01:37:08,000
Speaker 1: on the iPhone and switch off the iCloud Private relay

1936
01:37:08,479 --> 01:37:11,479
Speaker 1: or if you're using a VPN sometimes that will trigger

1937
01:37:11,520 --> 01:37:16,200
Speaker 1: it as well. Let's go to Jerry in Pennsylvania. Jerry,

1938
01:37:16,360 --> 01:37:17,120
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich.

1939
01:37:17,760 --> 01:37:20,920
Speaker 16: Hi, Rich, Rich, are you familiar with a LABELB camera?

1940
01:37:22,080 --> 01:37:24,559
Speaker 1: I think I've heard of it, but I'm not I've

1941
01:37:24,560 --> 01:37:25,160
Speaker 1: not used it.

1942
01:37:25,160 --> 01:37:25,640
Speaker 2: What is it?

1943
01:37:26,320 --> 01:37:29,000
Speaker 16: Well, you threw it into a light bulb shone.

1944
01:37:29,040 --> 01:37:31,280
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, yeah, I've heard of this for sure.

1945
01:37:31,280 --> 01:37:35,880
Speaker 16: Got pin and silk. Ye as I can only vi

1946
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:39,080
Speaker 16: it see it on my on my cell phone, my

1947
01:37:39,200 --> 01:37:43,640
Speaker 16: Android cell phone, And I was wondering, you do have

1948
01:37:43,640 --> 01:37:46,400
Speaker 16: anyone I could see it on my Windows PC?

1949
01:37:49,160 --> 01:37:51,000
Speaker 1: Windows. I believe you can.

1950
01:37:51,120 --> 01:37:55,200
Speaker 2: Uh oh gosh, now you're really testing me here. Uh.

1951
01:37:55,600 --> 01:38:01,040
Speaker 1: I believe you could run certain Android apps on your PC?

1952
01:38:01,400 --> 01:38:01,599
Speaker 11: Right?

1953
01:38:03,720 --> 01:38:03,960
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1954
01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:07,240
Speaker 1: Well what about the Is the app available in the

1955
01:38:07,280 --> 01:38:08,479
Speaker 1: Amazon App Store or no?

1956
01:38:09,880 --> 01:38:10,080
Speaker 12: Or so?

1957
01:38:10,240 --> 01:38:10,439
Speaker 11: Yeah?

1958
01:38:10,760 --> 01:38:13,639
Speaker 1: Like Amazon, Amazon has its own app store for Windows

1959
01:38:13,680 --> 01:38:18,080
Speaker 1: eleven which lets you run Android apps on Windows. Oh

1960
01:38:18,080 --> 01:38:19,960
Speaker 1: you have ten, Well it may it may work with ten.

1961
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:22,280
Speaker 1: I just I know it's I know it's on eleven,

1962
01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:23,679
Speaker 1: but it may work on ten.

1963
01:38:25,720 --> 01:38:28,760
Speaker 16: But if I have checked the YouTube and the web

1964
01:38:28,840 --> 01:38:31,240
Speaker 16: all that, and nobody's done a solution for it.

1965
01:38:31,800 --> 01:38:35,240
Speaker 1: Well yeah, because it's just not you know this is

1966
01:38:35,320 --> 01:38:38,720
Speaker 1: it probably runs through an Android app, right and that's it?

1967
01:38:39,080 --> 01:38:39,320
Speaker 16: Yeah?

1968
01:38:39,880 --> 01:38:41,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, I mean I don't know if you'll be

1969
01:38:41,880 --> 01:38:42,320
Speaker 2: able to.

1970
01:38:44,080 --> 01:38:46,479
Speaker 1: Like I'm looking at Microsoft and it just says you

1971
01:38:46,520 --> 01:38:47,040
Speaker 1: can't do it.

1972
01:38:47,160 --> 01:38:52,680
Speaker 2: Huh? What about this? What about this blue stacks? Have

1973
01:38:52,720 --> 01:38:53,519
Speaker 2: you looked into that.

1974
01:38:54,320 --> 01:38:56,559
Speaker 16: I would think movie, right, Yeah.

1975
01:38:56,360 --> 01:38:57,880
Speaker 2: That's the emulator. Does that work?

1976
01:38:58,760 --> 01:39:00,439
Speaker 16: I don't know, but before I go through a whole

1977
01:39:00,439 --> 01:39:02,519
Speaker 16: bunch of stuff, it doesn't work, if I ask you.

1978
01:39:03,160 --> 01:39:05,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I I have not run an Android app

1979
01:39:05,560 --> 01:39:08,040
Speaker 1: on my computer, and I I understand why you'd want

1980
01:39:08,040 --> 01:39:08,479
Speaker 1: to do this.

1981
01:39:10,200 --> 01:39:12,840
Speaker 2: What about this phone link? Have you looked into that?

1982
01:39:13,479 --> 01:39:13,599
Speaker 11: No?

1983
01:39:13,640 --> 01:39:18,000
Speaker 16: I haven't. I haven't looked at anything. Okay, options, you know? Yeah,

1984
01:39:18,120 --> 01:39:20,960
Speaker 16: why spend time with doing something it's not gonna work.

1985
01:39:21,040 --> 01:39:23,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'm gonna That's exactly what I'm gonna do

1986
01:39:23,040 --> 01:39:24,599
Speaker 1: now that you asked me this question. So now I'm

1987
01:39:24,600 --> 01:39:27,519
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna whenever I get stumped with something, I

1988
01:39:27,600 --> 01:39:29,439
Speaker 1: go home and I actually test it all out, and

1989
01:39:29,479 --> 01:39:31,200
Speaker 1: then I'll have a better answer. So next week I'll

1990
01:39:31,200 --> 01:39:33,519
Speaker 1: probably have a better answer for you, Jerry. But I

1991
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:36,120
Speaker 1: understand that you why you'd want to do this. But

1992
01:39:36,160 --> 01:39:39,559
Speaker 1: I think the reality is the Android app is probably

1993
01:39:39,600 --> 01:39:41,600
Speaker 1: these are like the light bulb cameras you buy an

1994
01:39:41,600 --> 01:39:42,519
Speaker 1: Amazon Right.

1995
01:39:42,880 --> 01:39:45,840
Speaker 16: That's correct. I got three four hundred bucks to sell whatever?

1996
01:39:46,040 --> 01:39:46,200
Speaker 9: Now?

1997
01:39:46,320 --> 01:39:51,479
Speaker 16: Oh wow, okay, hey Richie, rich how's West Pizza get

1998
01:39:51,479 --> 01:39:52,639
Speaker 16: her to Jersey Pizza?

1999
01:39:52,800 --> 01:39:53,000
Speaker 11: Oh?

2000
01:39:53,040 --> 01:39:58,240
Speaker 2: My gosh, Well, that's an easy question. It's horrible. We don't.

2001
01:39:58,240 --> 01:40:00,560
Speaker 1: I don't think they even have Hogies out and California.

2002
01:40:00,600 --> 01:40:04,400
Speaker 1: But I will say I did find one pizza place

2003
01:40:04,520 --> 01:40:08,280
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles that has pizza that rivals what I

2004
01:40:08,320 --> 01:40:11,880
Speaker 1: can get in New Jersey or New York. And I'm

2005
01:40:11,920 --> 01:40:15,680
Speaker 1: not kidding it is. It is fantastic. It's called Mulberry

2006
01:40:15,680 --> 01:40:18,920
Speaker 1: Street and it is a guy. I think he's from

2007
01:40:18,960 --> 01:40:23,680
Speaker 1: like Hoboken or something, but it is. It is fantastic. Now,

2008
01:40:23,680 --> 01:40:25,600
Speaker 1: by the way, Jerry, you know in Pennsylvania, I was

2009
01:40:25,680 --> 01:40:28,719
Speaker 1: driving through and there is actually a place called Demuro's

2010
01:40:28,760 --> 01:40:30,600
Speaker 1: Pizza in somewhere in Pennsylvania.

2011
01:40:30,760 --> 01:40:33,320
Speaker 16: Yeah, Philadelphia.

2012
01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:37,599
Speaker 2: Okay, I just searched. This is in Pittstown. Is that

2013
01:40:37,680 --> 01:40:38,000
Speaker 2: near you?

2014
01:40:39,560 --> 01:40:43,440
Speaker 16: That's about a o that's almost in the middle of Pennsylvania.

2015
01:40:43,640 --> 01:40:43,960
Speaker 2: Okay.

2016
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:47,200
Speaker 1: Well, I was driving through for a story one time.

2017
01:40:47,280 --> 01:40:49,560
Speaker 1: I was on a chute and I walked. I was like,

2018
01:40:49,600 --> 01:40:51,759
Speaker 1: I can't believe this says Demuro's Pizza. And I almost

2019
01:40:51,760 --> 01:40:53,240
Speaker 1: went in, but I didn't, but I took a picture

2020
01:40:53,240 --> 01:40:56,280
Speaker 1: outside in the car. All right, Jerry, thanks, I will

2021
01:40:56,320 --> 01:40:57,599
Speaker 1: have a better answer for you next week.

2022
01:40:57,640 --> 01:40:57,960
Speaker 2: Okay.

2023
01:40:58,080 --> 01:41:00,559
Speaker 1: I'll follow up on this, No, I'll I'll just talk

2024
01:41:00,560 --> 01:41:02,000
Speaker 1: about it on the show. I'm going to test it

2025
01:41:02,040 --> 01:41:05,000
Speaker 1: out and see what I come up with. Okay, rich

2026
01:41:05,120 --> 01:41:07,040
Speaker 1: all right, thanks for calling today, appreciate it.

2027
01:41:07,960 --> 01:41:08,320
Speaker 2: All right.

2028
01:41:08,360 --> 01:41:11,479
Speaker 1: Coming up, we are going to do the feedback segment.

2029
01:41:12,400 --> 01:41:14,879
Speaker 1: That's where I talk about the emails and the texts

2030
01:41:14,920 --> 01:41:16,559
Speaker 1: and the different things.

2031
01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:17,599
Speaker 2: You've sent me over the week.

2032
01:41:18,120 --> 01:41:19,760
Speaker 1: And if you have a solution for Jerry, let me

2033
01:41:19,760 --> 01:41:22,040
Speaker 1: know on my social media. I'm at rich on Tech.

2034
01:41:23,240 --> 01:41:30,120
Speaker 1: Coming up more rich on Tech right after this. Welcome

2035
01:41:30,200 --> 01:41:35,479
Speaker 1: back to rich on Tech. Did you watch the Taylor

2036
01:41:35,520 --> 01:41:39,160
Speaker 1: Swift home concert? Okay, so if you're listening to the podcast,

2037
01:41:39,479 --> 01:41:44,120
Speaker 1: we are playing a Taylor Swift song right now, Cool Summer.

2038
01:41:45,439 --> 01:41:48,519
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of people are watching that over

2039
01:41:48,560 --> 01:41:51,919
Speaker 1: the last week. Okay, So before we get to feedback,

2040
01:41:51,920 --> 01:41:54,320
Speaker 1: a couple of things. Number One, we got a lot

2041
01:41:54,360 --> 01:41:58,800
Speaker 1: of emails about this whole seventeen when iOS seventeen came out,

2042
01:41:58,840 --> 01:42:02,920
Speaker 1: Apple st letting people change the default notification sound on

2043
01:42:02,960 --> 01:42:05,599
Speaker 1: the iPhone. But I'm happy to report in the latest

2044
01:42:05,680 --> 01:42:09,120
Speaker 1: version of the software seventeen point two, you can actually

2045
01:42:09,960 --> 01:42:13,519
Speaker 1: change the default notification sound to whatever you want it's back,

2046
01:42:13,880 --> 01:42:16,000
Speaker 1: So open up the settings app, go to sounds and

2047
01:42:16,000 --> 01:42:19,559
Speaker 1: haptics and choose your default alert. You can choose from

2048
01:42:19,560 --> 01:42:22,439
Speaker 1: built in sounds or no sound, or whatever you want.

2049
01:42:22,520 --> 01:42:26,320
Speaker 1: So that's a new thing. That is a oh gosh,

2050
01:42:26,360 --> 01:42:29,080
Speaker 1: that was a huge thing people, you know they it

2051
01:42:29,280 --> 01:42:31,120
Speaker 1: just went away, the ability.

2052
01:42:30,720 --> 01:42:31,160
Speaker 2: To do that.

2053
01:42:32,439 --> 01:42:35,000
Speaker 1: If you want to search for homes using car play,

2054
01:42:35,439 --> 01:42:39,639
Speaker 1: Rocket Homes has a new AI driven app allowing users

2055
01:42:39,640 --> 01:42:42,320
Speaker 1: to browse nearby homes for sale while you drive. I

2056
01:42:42,320 --> 01:42:44,880
Speaker 1: actually think this is pretty smart. So you fire this

2057
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:48,960
Speaker 1: up on your infotainment system on your car, and then

2058
01:42:49,000 --> 01:42:51,840
Speaker 1: as you're driving around, you can see the houses that

2059
01:42:51,880 --> 01:42:54,240
Speaker 1: are for sale in that neighborhood, so you can see

2060
01:42:54,240 --> 01:42:56,400
Speaker 1: how much they cost, you can look at them. I

2061
01:42:56,439 --> 01:42:58,960
Speaker 1: think that's a pretty smart idea. Again, it'st called Rocket Homes.

2062
01:42:59,479 --> 01:43:01,880
Speaker 1: I was in aware that they had an app for

2063
01:43:01,920 --> 01:43:04,080
Speaker 1: looking at homes, but now I do, and I guess

2064
01:43:04,080 --> 01:43:08,120
Speaker 1: that's why they did it. FCC has voted to ban

2065
01:43:08,400 --> 01:43:11,960
Speaker 1: termination fees for cable and satellite services. They passed to

2066
01:43:11,960 --> 01:43:14,479
Speaker 1: measure to ban early termination fees that you have to

2067
01:43:14,479 --> 01:43:17,880
Speaker 1: pay if you cancel your cable or satellite service. These

2068
01:43:17,920 --> 01:43:20,679
Speaker 1: have been a mainstay, especially for satellite for so long.

2069
01:43:21,160 --> 01:43:24,160
Speaker 1: Customers are obviously frustrated about this. Companies would also have

2070
01:43:24,200 --> 01:43:27,360
Speaker 1: to provide a pro rated credit or rebate to customers

2071
01:43:27,600 --> 01:43:30,080
Speaker 1: who cancel their service before the contract ends. A lot

2072
01:43:30,160 --> 01:43:32,519
Speaker 1: of these companies used to do that, say oh, you're

2073
01:43:32,560 --> 01:43:34,360
Speaker 1: halfway through your billion cycle. We'll give you a credit

2074
01:43:34,360 --> 01:43:36,479
Speaker 1: of fifteen dollars that's what you have left. And then

2075
01:43:36,479 --> 01:43:38,479
Speaker 1: they said, never mind, we don't do that anymore. They

2076
01:43:38,479 --> 01:43:40,160
Speaker 1: make a lot of money on that, so they'd have

2077
01:43:40,160 --> 01:43:43,040
Speaker 1: to refund that. Cable companies could lose out and an

2078
01:43:43,120 --> 01:43:46,840
Speaker 1: estimated twenty eight billion dollars a year because of this ban.

2079
01:43:46,960 --> 01:43:48,800
Speaker 1: It's not a done deal just yet, but it sounds

2080
01:43:48,840 --> 01:43:51,400
Speaker 1: like it's probably going to happen. FCC has to do

2081
01:43:51,439 --> 01:43:56,040
Speaker 1: a final vote after public comment on it, and Volvo

2082
01:43:56,200 --> 01:44:00,839
Speaker 1: and charge Point have launched fifty fast chargers at fifteen

2083
01:44:00,920 --> 01:44:06,520
Speaker 1: Starbucks stores. This is a fast charging network at Starbucks

2084
01:44:06,560 --> 01:44:11,599
Speaker 1: between Denver and Seattle. It's strategically located between these two

2085
01:44:11,640 --> 01:44:14,439
Speaker 1: locations so that you have a charger every one hundred

2086
01:44:14,439 --> 01:44:17,400
Speaker 1: miles basically. And that's the whole point is to give

2087
01:44:17,680 --> 01:44:20,280
Speaker 1: these ev drivers a little bit of peace of mind.

2088
01:44:20,360 --> 01:44:22,879
Speaker 1: And you know I've talked about the issues with charging

2089
01:44:22,960 --> 01:44:25,479
Speaker 1: all kinds of evs that are not Tesla's. So the

2090
01:44:25,520 --> 01:44:29,080
Speaker 1: fifteen Starbucks stores that have these, and these are Volvo branded,

2091
01:44:29,120 --> 01:44:32,519
Speaker 1: but anyone can use them. Seattle is a quad. I

2092
01:44:32,520 --> 01:44:35,280
Speaker 1: should know how to say that. Yakama my first job

2093
01:44:35,320 --> 01:44:38,519
Speaker 1: ever in a TV market, Oregon. They've got a bunch

2094
01:44:38,520 --> 01:44:46,800
Speaker 1: of locations than Idaho, than Sandy, Utah, Provo, Utah, Grand Junction, Colorado, Colorado, Colorado, Colorado.

2095
01:44:47,080 --> 01:44:50,400
Speaker 1: And I guess that brings you to, oh, the first fifteen.

2096
01:44:50,439 --> 01:44:52,000
Speaker 1: So they don't have all of them just yet. Oh yeah,

2097
01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:52,240
Speaker 1: they do.

2098
01:44:52,800 --> 01:44:55,879
Speaker 2: Okay, So from Denver to Okay, Seattle.

2099
01:44:56,120 --> 01:44:57,439
Speaker 1: So if you want to take that road trip, I

2100
01:44:57,479 --> 01:44:59,320
Speaker 1: think that'd be awesome to take that for a TV

2101
01:44:59,439 --> 01:45:02,040
Speaker 1: story to take, like the whole road trip, all thirteen

2102
01:45:02,120 --> 01:45:03,080
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty miles.

2103
01:45:03,120 --> 01:45:05,080
Speaker 2: Okay, let's get to feedback.

2104
01:45:05,960 --> 01:45:09,839
Speaker 1: Laura says, have you ever discussed voice isolation on the iPhone?

2105
01:45:09,880 --> 01:45:11,920
Speaker 1: I just learned about it, and it's awesome. I don't

2106
01:45:11,960 --> 01:45:13,720
Speaker 1: know if I've mentioned this, but if you have the

2107
01:45:13,800 --> 01:45:17,800
Speaker 1: latest software on the iPhone, this isolates your voice. So

2108
01:45:17,800 --> 01:45:19,840
Speaker 1: if there's a lot of noise behind you and you're

2109
01:45:19,840 --> 01:45:22,320
Speaker 1: trying to talk to someone. This makes it sound almost

2110
01:45:22,320 --> 01:45:24,320
Speaker 1: like you're in a studio. And I've actually used this

2111
01:45:24,400 --> 01:45:27,360
Speaker 1: for remote radio hits when I'm in the middle of

2112
01:45:27,400 --> 01:45:29,360
Speaker 1: like a city or something. You pop this on and

2113
01:45:29,400 --> 01:45:32,280
Speaker 1: it sounds like you're in a studio. So if you

2114
01:45:32,400 --> 01:45:34,720
Speaker 1: swipe down from the upper right hand corner of your

2115
01:45:34,760 --> 01:45:39,360
Speaker 1: phone and let's see here, you there's a mic mode. Oh,

2116
01:45:39,400 --> 01:45:40,720
Speaker 1: you have to do this while you're in a call.

2117
01:45:40,720 --> 01:45:42,040
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I don't see it right now.

2118
01:45:42,080 --> 01:45:44,320
Speaker 1: So while you're in a call, swipe down from the

2119
01:45:44,400 --> 01:45:47,120
Speaker 1: upper right hand corner. You'll see a button that says

2120
01:45:47,320 --> 01:45:52,880
Speaker 1: mic mode and it's standard or voice isolation. And if

2121
01:45:52,880 --> 01:45:55,439
Speaker 1: you if you put that on, you're the person that's

2122
01:45:55,479 --> 01:45:57,519
Speaker 1: listening to is really going to hear a difference.

2123
01:45:58,920 --> 01:46:00,120
Speaker 2: Let's see what else here.

2124
01:46:02,160 --> 01:46:05,040
Speaker 1: Neil says, Hey rich in regards to the cable TV out,

2125
01:46:05,080 --> 01:46:06,840
Speaker 1: the short answer to the callers question would have been

2126
01:46:06,840 --> 01:46:09,360
Speaker 1: a splitter, But as you surmise, the deeper answer relates

2127
01:46:09,360 --> 01:46:11,680
Speaker 1: to whether the company has gone all digital, all protected,

2128
01:46:12,040 --> 01:46:14,840
Speaker 1: needing cable card. That's the bottom line. As you said,

2129
01:46:14,880 --> 01:46:17,679
Speaker 1: they want you to buy their DVR. Great job, answering

2130
01:46:17,680 --> 01:46:20,120
Speaker 1: the deeper question instead of falling for the easy answer.

2131
01:46:20,520 --> 01:46:26,400
Speaker 1: Neil always looking forward to the next show. Janis says,

2132
01:46:26,640 --> 01:46:29,679
Speaker 1: saw your show on KTLA. Oh, this is a KTLA

2133
01:46:29,760 --> 01:46:31,560
Speaker 1: comment demonstrating the Minioki.

2134
01:46:31,600 --> 01:46:31,720
Speaker 14: Oh.

2135
01:46:31,760 --> 01:46:35,559
Speaker 1: I featured a portable karaoke system, and I find it's

2136
01:46:35,560 --> 01:46:38,720
Speaker 1: currently unavailable or may not become available. Don't you check

2137
01:46:38,720 --> 01:46:43,920
Speaker 1: availability before promoting something on TV? So disappointing? Janis, Yes,

2138
01:46:44,240 --> 01:46:47,120
Speaker 1: I do check. And it's funny when you put something

2139
01:46:47,120 --> 01:46:49,280
Speaker 1: on TV. Sometimes a lot of people go to Amazon

2140
01:46:49,320 --> 01:46:51,479
Speaker 1: and buy it all at once and it sells out.

2141
01:46:53,000 --> 01:46:54,680
Speaker 2: Oh, let's see, so I do try that.

2142
01:46:55,479 --> 01:46:57,519
Speaker 1: Ce Brown says, Hey, Rich, I must commend you for

2143
01:46:57,560 --> 01:47:01,040
Speaker 1: having Steven Aquino from Forbes on your show last week speaking.

2144
01:47:01,120 --> 01:47:04,439
Speaker 1: I too struggled with a severe speech impediment stuttering as

2145
01:47:04,479 --> 01:47:06,960
Speaker 1: a teen and well into my twenties. I'm now in

2146
01:47:07,000 --> 01:47:10,200
Speaker 1: my fifties and it shows up occasionally. Sometimes I don't

2147
01:47:10,360 --> 01:47:13,599
Speaker 1: know the triggers. I choose a technology path in college

2148
01:47:13,640 --> 01:47:16,120
Speaker 1: because I saw my stuttering as a barrier. I don't

2149
01:47:16,160 --> 01:47:18,880
Speaker 1: often hear people being interviewed like this, So thank you.

2150
01:47:18,960 --> 01:47:22,960
Speaker 1: See Brown in Toronto, Yeah, you know what, I try

2151
01:47:23,000 --> 01:47:24,920
Speaker 1: to open up the show to a lot of different people,

2152
01:47:25,120 --> 01:47:30,519
Speaker 1: and I love having people from all different, you know,

2153
