Speaker 1 (00:00):
Samsung launches new products, including two new foldable phones. Two
major wireless carriers introduce a sneaky new fee Will it
appear on your bill? The app that lets you pay
medical bills just by taking a picture of them. It
is seriously cool. Plus your tech questions answered? What is

(00:22):
going on? I'm Rich jamiro and this is rich on Tech.
This show where I talk about the tech stuff I
think you should know about. It's also the place where
I answer your questions about technology. I believe that tech
should be easy, helpful, fun and inspiring. Phone lines are
open at triple eight Rich one oh one. That's eight

(00:43):
eight eight seven four to two, four to one zero one.
Kim is standing by. Give me a call. If you
have a question about technology. Email is also open. You
can send it to hello at Richontech dot TV. Well,
if you follow me on social media, you know that
I am fresh off the plane from Korea. Spent the

(01:08):
week there in Seoul, South Korea at Samsung Galaxy Unpacked.
This is where they launched two new foldable smartphones, new
smart watches, and new do they call them smart tablets?
Well they're smart so new tablets as well. What a trip?
International travel is always so much work, but I don't

(01:31):
think I've ever gone on a trip where I don't
learn something new. It's also such a great way to
just expose yourself to an entirely different world. We get
so caught up in the things that happen here in
America that it is. It gives you so much perspective
to be in another place. And I will tell you
one thing I learned is that I don't think I've

(01:53):
ever felt more privileged to be able to talk to you,
because there are so many things that you can do
in this world, and to be able to sit here
and talk technology and to be able to experience this
stuff and report back to you is really an honor
that I take very seriously. And I've never been more

(02:14):
excited because just talking to my tech friends on this trip,
it's so interesting the stuff that we do, and we're
all pretty much the same, by the way. I will
tell you that just talking to other friends that cover
this stuff, we are all similar. Let's put it that way.
Coming up on the show, we've got some great guests.
We're going to talk to Drew blackerd He is the

(02:34):
vice president of Mobile Product Management at Samsung Electronics America.
Drew is the guy that's typically on stage announcing these products,
and so it's quite an honor to be able to
speak to him. Jimi Rivera of Pocket now HEIMI reviews
just about every gadget. He does daily tech updates on YouTube,

(02:55):
and I had the honor of sitting next to him
on the plane. We didn't plan that, but we said,
you know what, if we're sitting next to each other,
we're doing an interview. So you're gonna hear the first
interview on this radio show from thirty five thousand feet
up in the air, and Bobo's probably wondering, I wonder
how that's going to sound. It sounds pretty good. You
might hear some food being served in that. You know

(03:16):
that that airline button in the sound that ding in
the background. And then later in the show, I'm going
to take you to the Apple Store. Can't all be Samsung.
I'm gonna take you to the Apple Store in downtown
Los Angeles for the Code with Clossy demo day. Met
up with some amazing students there learning to code and

(03:37):
they were showing off their apps. And that's a great
program if you have a teenager in your life. You
definitely want to learn about that. Let me tell you
a bit about Soul. So Soul interesting city, old meats new.
I could not believe how large and sprawling this city was.
I mean Los Angeles. We've got some pockets of skyscrapers,

(03:58):
you know, maybe downtown, Century City, a couple other places.
I'm not kidding. We went up to this tower. You
look out three hundred and sixty degrees around you. There
are just skyscrapers and housing everywhere. It was truly incredible.
This is a city that is forward thinking when it
comes to technology, but also rooted in a lot of history.

(04:21):
And one thing that was interesting there, you know, North
Korea is very close. I did not go to North Korea.
I did not try to sneak in, but they do
these things called DMZ tours, and here in La we
have TMZ Tours, DMZ Meet TMZ. We stayed in downtown Seoul.
Samsung very much a big part of that city. So

(04:46):
Samsung is everything. Samsung, LG, Kia, Hyundai. These are businesses
that are based in Korea and it is part of
the daily life there. I mean, LG runs a cell
phone network. Samsung has apartment buildings, with their name on it. Kia, Hyundai,
Genesis cars everywhere everywhere and they look really cool. By

(05:07):
the way, what I see the Genesis It was like
an EV that was really really cool looking. I think
it had eighty in the name, but it was really nice.
I got to look into that one. What else do
we do? We went to Samsung's headquarters, so they call
it Digital City. It's so big, there's so many buildings.
They have a museum on site, so we looked in
the museum. We got to see the history of Samsung,

(05:31):
which started out as I believe, a textile company in
like nineteen thirty nine or something like that, and they
started doing electronics in the sixties and of course TVs,
video cameras, computers, air conditioners, I mean, they make it
all there, so we got to see all of that stuff.
Where we stayed, there was a giant mall underground. I mean,

(05:54):
I'm talking the largest mall in Asia is underground and
it was incredible. And inside this mall, in the center,
the centerpiece of it all, which is so ironic, is
a giant bookstore. And the bookstore is something out of
Harry Potter. There's just books lined up to the ceiling,
but it's like, you know, I don't know how many stories,

(06:15):
three stories, four stories, and there's a giant tree in
the middle with books on it. So you got to
check out my Instagram at rich On Tech. I'm going
to put a highlight of my trip so you can
see everything that I posted there, because, as a producer,
Bobo said, it was a lot. It was a lot
to keep up with. But you know what, it's one
of those things where I want to remember what I

(06:35):
did and I want to bring that to.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
You as well.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
This was the first trip that I did not take
any cash out of an ATM or exchange money. I
typically bring some sort of money with me in the
foreign currency just in case I need it, because I
was stuck in Tokyo one time, and sometimes you need
to get a train ticket and you may not be

(06:59):
able to use a debi or credit card. And this
happened to me once and I was not able to
take cash out of the ATM in Japan because my
debit card was not working there and I was stuck.
And I'm not going to say I had to jump
a turnstyle, but I may be wanted in Tokyo. Let's
just put it that way, but I had to do
what I had to do, and I ran right to
the ATM and got money out because not every ATM

(07:22):
worked back then with my card. So this was the
first trip because at Lax, when I left, both ATMs
and the terminal were not dispensing cash, so I couldn't
get cash, and it just wasn't a thing. I wasn't
going to go to the money exchange. I said, you
know what, I'm going to take my chances and I
was able to use my credit I did use a
credit card there because they didn't charge me a what's

(07:43):
like a little exchange fee. My debit card charges an
exchange fee, so I didn't want to pay an extra
one percent, so I use my credit card. I also
used tap to pay, which was pretty much everywhere, so
set up tap to pay on your phone. It's safe,
it's secure, it's convenient. I don't know if I recommend
not having any cash. I had some American money on me,

(08:04):
but it's one of those things where you just never know.
Now the train, I took a bus to the hotel
and they did take a credit card, so that that
worked out. Ah what else, Oh little travel tip on
your bag, your luggage, your backpack. Put something unique on there.
So on your travel bag, like my backpack is black.
Every single backpack in the world is black. So how

(08:26):
do you know it's mine. Well, I put a little
pin on there so I can identify that it's mine.
But also it's not just me that needs to identify it.
It's you. If you're picking up a bag on a
baggage carousel, or if there's a whole bunch of backpacks
by the hotel, you know you left it with the bellman,
the bell person. You know, you want to be able
to identify your bag quickly, So put something that is

(08:47):
unique on there. Put something that's identifiable quickly. And on
your luggage. Same thing. I've got like a strap, like
a colorful strap for my luggage, so that I can
tell that it's my luggage. But more importantly, other people
can tell it's not their luggage. And believe me, I
had a friend when we went to another country. He
picked up someone's bag and he thought it was his,

(09:08):
and we got to the hotel and he didn't realize
until then, and it was you know, it took a
while for him to get his own luggage. It was
kind of a pain. And I watched at lax as
people were picking up their luggage. So this girl, she
was next to me, she goes, oh, I think that's mine.
And then some guy picked up her luggage and then
he looked at it, checked the tags and said, oh,
it's not mine, put it back. Ah what else? Oh?
This was cool. When I was in Soul, I got

(09:29):
to see one of those three D billboards in person.
If you're ever flipping through like YouTube shorts, they always
have these videos of these three D billboards that looked
too good to be true. And sure enough there was
one on the street corner and I saw it. I
must have stood there for twenty five minutes watching all
the ads. And the three D ads are not every
thirty seconds, they only come up every five ten minutes
or so. But it was really really cool. Oh let's see,

(09:53):
I did have some traditional food. I am embarrassed to
say that I did eat at Shakeshack the first night
I was there. And I know, I know, I know,
I'm in Korea and where do I eat shake Shack? Yeah,
Bobo did McDonald's. I almost did KFC. And I'm not kidding.
When I talked to everyone the next day. I didn't
feel so bad because guess word, ninety percent of people
ate the first night KFC. Now, I know that Korea

(10:17):
is known for fried chicken, and obviously it's not KFC
is here, but the dipping sauces are different, and I'm
sure some stuff is different. Now I will say my
burger at Shakeshack was identical to the States. So I
did not get any culture, except for the fact that
they had a little hand washed machine at the Shakeshack,
which I thought was pretty cool. Every country is very clean.

(10:38):
They love cleanliness. You know, they have these little napkins
that are like wet naps. They have very very clean
A lot of people wore masks in different countries before covid'
and that's still a part of the culture in many
many countries. Oh one more story, my passport got locked
up on the way back in I'm not kidding. So
Samsung gave us samples of some of the devices that

(10:58):
they announced, and so you had to decline them at
customs to make sure that they knew that these were
samples and you weren't going to sell them and all
this stuff, and so, of course, being the honest person
I am, I said, yes, I have samples of a
couple cell phones and you know, a tablet. And as
the woman is like looking at me and like in
San Francisco, She's like nodding and smiling. She's literally taking

(11:19):
my passport and locking it up in this lock box.
And I'm like, oh, what just happened here? She goes, yeah,
take this to the you got to you gotta clear
customs at the exit. They got to inspect your bags
before you can leave. So I was a I was
a prisoner in my own country for fifteen minutes yesterday.
I'm telling you, it felt really odd to know that

(11:41):
I was no longer a free citizen in my own country.
I'm telling you, it was an experience that I've never
felt before. It was a feeling that I've never had before.
I knew that here I was in America, but yet
not able to travel freely and not leave the airport
without fai figuring out this custom stuff. And it was

(12:02):
easy to figure out. It was funny. The guy who
was actually in charge of clearing me. He he was like, oh,
you're on TV. Oh you review electronics.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Oh that's cool.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Where can I watch you? And he's like, go ahead, anyway,
and it was all on the up and up. It
was fine. All right. Coming up, I'm gonna talk more
about what Samsung announced, new foldables, new tablets, new watches.
Plus I got to tell you about this sneaky new
fee that Verizon and AT and T are putting on
bills if you have an older plan. We've got some
great guests. But first it is your turn. We've got

(12:33):
your calls coming up next at triple eight rich one
oh one. That's eight eight eight seven four to two,
four to one zero one. Then give me a call
if you have a question about technology. My name is
rich Damiro and you are listening to Rich on Tech.
Welcome back to Rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging
out with you. I was told this is Black Pink.

(12:56):
Is that a Korean pop band? Yeah, there you go. Okay,
they had they had sugar. Okay, I've heard this. They
had sugar of sugar. They had sugar of BTS. No,
it's sugar bts at the Samsung event. And the best

(13:20):
part was, you know, he got paid to be there,
of course, because he's like, you know, Samsung whatever, like influencer.
But I'm not kidding. All he had to do was
just smile for the camera and give a thumbs up.
And I don't know how much money he made doing that,
but man, it must be nice. And then they also
had Sydney Sweeney there. She is best well for me,

(13:43):
I best know her from White Lotus. She's also on
some other shows Euphoria. People were telling me, I haven't
seen that on HBO. All right, let's go to let's
kick off the show with Sean in Saint Charles, Illinois. Sean,
you're on with rich Hi. I'm doing great.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
How are you taking my call? Yeah? Outside of my
my elderly eight and my stage four of loung disease,
I got times with my computer here that I got
old twenty thirteen Toshiba. I never upgraded from seven and

(14:20):
it's too light. Now, I know we're far ahead of
that scenario now. Uh it still operates, but I have
conflicting uh anti virus burners on the or maybe, hey.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Sean, can can you move a little bit? You're you're
breaking up, Maybe move to a different area because I'm
getting a lot of broken Uh yeah, Okay, So you've
got two different anti viruses on there, and what are
they telling you?

Speaker 3 (14:49):
They keep coming up and telling me that, you know,
I need to need to upgrade up because everybody's tracking
me and I'm not protected for any viruses and so on.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Install, uninstall them, get rid of them. What are the programs.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
AVG and the the asked, Okay, well.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
You don't need to number one, so get rid of both.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
I know, I know, I tried. I tried to get
them to go away, but they keep going back up.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah. Well that that goes to show you that you
know half of these programs and those are two good ones.
Actually I'm not you know, I don't want to knock them.
They're good programs, but I would I would uninstall them
and then pick one the best place to find. Are
you going to get a new computer? You're going to
stick with this?

Speaker 3 (15:30):
I'm not, like I said, I'm way behind the technology
and now it's falling past me. So yeah, I don't
know I'm going to catch up.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Okay, Well here's the deal. I mean, look, the main
thing with this, your system is going to continue working.
The main thing is you need to be very aware
of what you're clicking on, the links that you're clicking,
the things that you're doing, because you're really not going
to be protected because this is an older system, it's
really not getting updates anymore. If you go to a
v dash test dot org, that will give you a

(16:00):
list of the best Windows antivirus software on lab is
their top pick, and then a VAST and AVG are
up there as well. But you have to get the
free versions of these things. They will try to push
you to get a paid version. But what I would
do is uninstall both of these programs. In fact, uninstall
everything on your computer that you don't need anymore. Because
this is an older computer, it's probably running pretty slow,

(16:22):
So uninstall those things and then install just one pick
one maybe a VAST, put it on there, make sure
it's the free version, and run that. Hopefully it'll protect you.
But I would plan for a new computer. Next week.
We're going to be talking to an expert who's going
to give us the top computer picks both Windows and
chromebooks for under five hundred bucks and under one thousand dollars.

(16:43):
So Sean, I would tune in next week see which
computers are recommended, and perhaps plan to get one of those.
But you don't need to replace this immediately, but probably
a good idea to start thinking about a new computer here,
but just be aware of what you're clicking, because the
social engineering links are really what you're most worried about.
All right, Coming up, we've got Drew Blackird of Samsung.

(17:06):
Drew is gonna talk to us about the Samsung Galaxy
Z Flip five and the Samsung Galaxy Z fold five,
two new foldable phones from Samsung. Coming up next. Welcome

(17:29):
back to rich On Tech. I'm on location in Seoul,
South Korea, where Samsung is headquartered. This is where the
company held its Unpacked event to show off their latest
foldable smartphones. Samsung brought me here to be a part
of it all, and during my stay I talked with
Drew Blackird, who's often on stage at these events. Drew
is vice president of Product management for Samsung Electronics America.

(17:52):
All right, so first off, tell me Samsung doing this
event here in Korea?

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Why?

Speaker 4 (17:59):
Well, I mean, the most obvious answers, We're headquartered here.
But that's the simple answer. I think a lot of
the Korean culture and Samsung are really intertwined.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
It's the biggest employers in the country.

Speaker 4 (18:12):
The research and development coming out of Korea is just
substantial and it's kind of crazy that we haven't done
one here yet, So I think I'm really excited. I've
been a Samsung for close to fourteen years. I've probably
been to Korea forty forty five times, and really the
culture here is one I think of love for technology,
there's a love for fashion and new things, and I

(18:33):
think a lot of that comes together with our foldables.
So it's really unique time to be able to announceside
in Korea.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
So let's talk about these faultibles. It's been four years now,
almost five years with these fuldable phones. What is the
sort of trend you're seeing with fuldibles?

Speaker 4 (18:47):
Well, this is our fifth generation and we're seeing every
year more and more consumers are adopting foldibles for the
first time, and when they do adopt them, that they
love them and they're staying loyal to the brand, to
the form factor. So we focus on this year is
trying to bring even more people into fold rules and
experiencing for the first time. So a lot of that
starts with innovating the design, the form factor itself, trying

(19:09):
to make it slimmer and kind of so that it
fits in the hand or the pocket of the purse easier.
So both devices, the Flip and the fold are about
two millimeters slimmer. Fold is actually ten grams lighter as well.
So the part of it is just kind of keeping
the form factor tight and making mainstream and then on
top of that innovating these fold foldable use cases where

(19:29):
they are unique things that you can really only do
with these products. So with Fold, it's opening up, you know,
a standard sized smartphone to a seven point six inch display.
Incredible for productivity and entertainment, gaming, multimedia, and for Flip,
it's it's a product that really you can get more
smartphone when you want more. It opens up to a
seven point six inch display, which is the same as

(19:50):
our S Plus model, and it's.

Speaker 5 (19:53):
Less phone when you want less.

Speaker 4 (19:54):
So that's you know again when you want it in
an easily pocketable, you know device. But also you have
this new experience with our Flex window where you can
actually interact with notifications, respond to messages, valuate opening up.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
This seems like a pretty good design this year. It's incredible.

Speaker 4 (20:11):
Yeah, I think one of the things we're most proud
of is the new Hinge design. We call it our
zero gap Pinch, but that basically means that it's fully
flush on the X tier, so there's no gap where
you know, different things in your pocket might come in
between you know, the screen or things like that. From
a form factor perspective, again, it makes it slimmer, so
it's easier to hold in hand. And on top of that,

(20:32):
you know, the innovation over time has really evolved, so
I think, you know, some of the early criticisms around
foldables had to do with the camera experiences. Now these
are now no compromised flagship camera experiences.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
And on top of that, the xterior.

Speaker 4 (20:47):
Display on flip has evolved. Their original one if you remember,
it was just like a window where you can see
the time basically, and it's now a fully interactive display.
It's about three times larger than last years. And with that,
we have a full interface on the flex window that's
similar to our Galaxy Watch, where you can kind of
pull down quick settings from the top. You can have

(21:07):
widget experiences, whether it be like music player or calendar
or weather to one side, and then on the other
side of notifications that as I said, you can like
quickly respond to text messages and engage with friends. And
then the last one, which is cools from the bottom,
swipe up and you get Samsung Wallet, so you can
make mobile payments without even.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
Having you to open the phone. So I'm curious with
the new hinge does it affect durability anyway? Does it?
Is it are you taking a step back with durability
because this is a newer device hinge or is it
kind of the same design but just tweaked.

Speaker 4 (21:39):
It's going to be a big step forward in terms
of durability, So I think that's one of the approaches
behind it. So I think the zero gap hinge will
do a few things first as it will narrow down
so there's no gap where nothing from you know, the
outside can can enter into, you know, the foldable part
of the phone. The second thing it will do is
is kind of restructure the internal so within the flexible display,

(21:59):
there's now kind of a padding layer under that display
that is for shock absorption. The hinge is called dual
rail system on the hinge which has multiple touch points
on the display which reinforces the durability and multiple points
compared to what it did in the past, and it's
all fewer parts, so it's actually doing this all with

(22:20):
fewer moving parts, which makes it more durable. So all
those things together make the hinge more durable, and the
devices themselves are more durable as well. So we now
have griller glass Victis too, which is an upgrade from
last year's model on the kind of X tier displays.
It has armor aluminum, it's ip X eight water resistance,
so a lot of different progress on the durability front. Also,

(22:44):
we're launching what we call our ze Assurance program to
help you and put further piece of mind around the
durability of foldable products. So specifically, they all come with
an inbox screen protector applied, but you'll get a one
time free placement if you ever want to get the
screen protect or replace, Samsung will do that for you.
And then from a repairs perspective, foldables are still a

(23:06):
new technology, but we'll also have a one time discounted
screen repair also if you needed to do anything like that.
And I would say the only other thing I add
on there is we have a care plus insurance product
that's really incredible.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
I noticed the base storage is now doubled on the
flip so you keep you kind of keep doing that
almost every year now, So what's what's the deal with
the storage.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
Well, I mean we see as users behavior evolves, their
storage needs evolved, So you know, more and more users
are capturing a lot of video content. Video takes a
lot more storage than photos do, for example. And on
top of that, with Samson cameras, they're all EK capable,
so it's not just HD video, it's four K video,

(23:52):
it's AK video. These are all large file sizes. So
we want to make sure that a consumer's experience with
these products is kind of uncompromised. So if they're going
to use these high end features, they don't have to
worry about if they're going to run out of storage.
And during our pre order even we're doing a large
storage upgrade on us, so you can pay the price
of the two fifty six gig and you'll get the

(24:12):
five to twelve gig a version of it.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
What about sustainability efforts. I always hear during the presentations
a lot about sustainability. We saw yesterday some of the
displays about you know, the different recycled materials tell me
about Samsung's commitment to that.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
Sustainability is a huge part of our corporate mission. And
so I think there's three key areas with the foldables
that we've really focused on. The first is just using
more recycled components. I think last year had about six
parts that we're using recycled material. I think we're closer
to fifteen different components of the device using that this year.
And the second is fully recycled packaging and fully recyclable packaging,

(24:49):
so it's also you know, kind of.

Speaker 5 (24:51):
Less waste that we go into packaging.

Speaker 4 (24:53):
And then the last area is more from just an
overall length of ownership perspective that we want to make.
These are products that can you know, stay in the
market for a long period of time. So in addition
to the durability innovations that we've made from a software perspective,
we are remaining committed to the life cycle THEGE products.
We have five years of guaranteed security updates as released

(25:16):
the software, and then four generations of Android OS updates.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
So what is your data telling you about the adoption
of foldables? Because you continue to push this area, some
other you know, device makers do as well, and some
are holding out. So what do you see with your
data about people actually wanting a foldable?

Speaker 4 (25:36):
Yeah, well, I think last year our president team roannounced
that we crossed over ten million foldables sold globally, so
you know, it's it's it's a big market and getting bigger,
and we've you know, since obviously passed that number pretty well.
On top of that, what we see is that people
within the Samsung family at least are you know, shifting

(25:58):
over at a nice rate. Users are very interested in
trying out fold our S series owners are trying out
flip for the first time, and we find high loyalty
as well. So when soone tries a foldable, they understand
the value of those only unfoldable use cases and then they.

Speaker 5 (26:14):
Want the next one.

Speaker 4 (26:16):
Another interesting part is we're seeing people shift to Samsung
at a higher rate on foldable. So we'll look at
ownership of different devices and how they're coming to Samsung
and we see the highest rates or people wanting to
try foldables. What's exciting about all this technology for you personally?
The thing this most exciting, I guess is, you know,
fifth generation foldable technology. In one sense that feels like

(26:38):
very refine. We're kind of getting to this point where
we have this this new category that we're growing, but
in the grand scheme of things, is really just the
beginning for foldable technology. The way I like to think
about it is I've four and a half year old
twins at home, and I know when they're hitting got
a high school range and college range or even my age.
Someday they're not going to be using a standard far type.
You know, it's going to be come out of the
evolution of form factors that we're starting to see today.

(27:00):
So to me, this is just the starting point for
a lot of new innovation that's gonna start with in
the sportphone space, but even kind of move into other
categories as well.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
Drew, thanks so much for joining me today. Thanks for
having me once again. That was Drew blackerd vice president
of Product Management for Samsung Electronics America. Much more of
the show come in your way, plus your calls at
triple eight Rich one oh one. That's eight eight eight
seven four to two four one zero one. You are
listening to Rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech.

(27:34):
Rich Demiro here hanging out with you talking technology. Well,
the other big news of the week Twitter now called X.
If you have the app on your phone, maybe you
noticed now the icon changed on my Android. It did
not change on my iPhone. It says X, but it's

(27:55):
still the Twitter Twitter bird and people are going at this,
Oh my gosh, I mean, give me a break. Who cares? Like,
are you really that invested in the Twitter name where
you have to sit there and tweet about this? Like,
I get it, it's a big change, But who cares?
It's X done? End of story. Does it matter in

(28:18):
your life whether it's X or Twitter?

Speaker 6 (28:20):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (28:20):
The Twitter bird? Oh what do we call them now?
Oh h everyone's crying about this change. The only place
that people are crying is on Twitter. Nobody else cares
in the world. It does not matter. You don't own
stock in Twitter, you're not friends with Elon Musk. You
you don't have a reason to, you know, to mourn
the loss of Twitter. It was a brand. It's a

(28:43):
brand name. Brands come and go. It means nothing. So
either you're on or you're off. I have not changed
the way I use Twitter since this whole thing started
with Elon Musk. Think as you might about Elon, whether
you love them or hate them, it does not matter.
It's a product. You use it or you don't. Just

(29:04):
because you're using Twitter does not mean that you are
an Elon Musk lover fanboy, whatever, fangirl. It just is
a thing. It's a tool. Is this the Twitter farm?
I thought you were gonna play crickets? Like nobody wants
to hear what I'm talking about. I'm sorry, I just,

(29:26):
you know, it's one of these things, like I cover
technology for a living, and like literally I probably use Twitter,
not more than anyone. But I've been on there since
let's see May two thousand and seven. My thoughts about
Twitter have not changed at all. It's just a product.
I tweet, you respond. If you're not on there, I
don't notice. If you're on there, I may notice because

(29:47):
you might tweet at me. It doesn't change my life,
it shouldn't change yours. Whether you go to Twitter dot
com or x dot com or click a logo that
looks like an X or click a logo that looks
like a bird, it does not matter. What is it
matter what a tweet is called. Okay, it's a Z.
I don't know, we'll find out, we'll figure it out. Sorry,

(30:09):
I know, I just it's just one of these things
where like it's just gonna take time. I mean, okay,
they're called exes. Okay, see you X. Whatever you did,
you tweet you X. It doesn't matter anyway. If you
want to find me on X, I'm at rich on Tech,
same exact place I've been for the past twenty three

(30:29):
minus seven, whatever that is. Let's go to uh Carleen
in High Desert. Carleen, you're on with Rich?

Speaker 6 (30:38):
Hi?

Speaker 7 (30:38):
Rich?

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Are you mourning the loss of Twitter?

Speaker 8 (30:42):
No? Not at all?

Speaker 1 (30:43):
Like, do you even care? Nobody cares about Twitter except
people that tweet. Nobody cares. Why don't even talk about
it in the show? No normal person cares? Sorry I
shouldn't say normal, No typical average person cares. Okay, go ahead, Okay.

Speaker 6 (30:57):
I have a Samsung No. Nine and it's about two
and a half years old, and I'm trying to keep
it and I want to know if it's being overcharged
because I do plug it in every night or and
it does sometimes get hot. I plug it in in
my truck on Android Auto and listen to books on

(31:20):
my phone. Sure, and I want to know, am I
like overcharging my phone? And then when it gets hot,
am I depleting the battery?

Speaker 8 (31:30):
Well?

Speaker 1 (31:30):
Okay, so no, So batteries do have a lifespan, and
for sure, when they get hot, they definitely are affected
more and that may run down the battery a bit more.
So I would take you know, I would when you're
in your car, I would try to keep your phone
in a place that's cool, like maybe not in the sun, right, No,
it's not, okay, And so you know, it's one of

(31:51):
these things where look, you've got to use your phone,
and so you need to use your phone. You have
to use it. And you've got a Note nine. So
it's a couple of years old for sure, but it's
going to last for a while. Now. There is a
way I'm trying to check out here. If you download
the Samsung Members app, trying to see if we've got this.

(32:12):
Here we go. If you download the Samsung Members app, Okay,
here you go. This is what you want to do. Okay, Carleen.
Download an app it's called Samsung Members, and then you
go at the bottom of the app, it says let's
see what is it saying? Says support. You tap support
and then there's a whole bunch of things you can
do for phone diagnostics. Okay. And so when you look

(32:35):
at that phone diagnostics, you can select battery status and
you tap battery status and it will tell you how
your battery's doing. Now. This is built into the iPhone
under settings and then battery, So if you want to
check on your iPhone, you can do that as well,
but on the Samsung you do have to download this
separate app. So if you want to see how your
battery is doing right now, mine says life is good,

(32:58):
which is I like that. That's a very very positive
way of thinking life is good. That actually sounds like
something LG would say. But if your thing, if it
says anything like, you know, poor or it needs help
or whatever, then maybe you think about changing something. But
here's the other good news. I think your battery is
going to be just fine. I charge my phone every

(33:18):
single day, charge it every single night, charge it multiple
times a day, and my iPhone specifically, okay, is at
now this is actually quite low, to be honest, it
is at My battery health is at ninety two percent
of maximum capacity after almost a year. So that's that's
it's good. But if you think about it, you know,

(33:39):
if I went four more years with that phone, you know,
if you tick off let's say ten percent a year
after four years, my battery would have sixty percent of
the life lifespan that it did from the factory So
the other good news, Carlene is that you can replace
the battery on this Note nine if it gets to
a place where it's really bad, and so it may
cost a little bit, but it's an option, and so

(34:02):
now go ahead. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (34:06):
Well, and I'm wondering because it is a little bit older,
it doesn't get any more updates because it has Android ten. Okay,
And how safe is that to do like banking and
stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Well, there's definitely a risk, there's definitely, there's always a risk.
But quite honestly, I think you're still gonna be okay
with as long as is Chrome giving you any messages
like this is not supported or anything. No, okay, So
as long as you're still not getting a message like that,
I think you're okay. Are you still getting app updates?

Speaker 6 (34:39):
I haven't had one for a while.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
Okay, Well I would check your app updates and make
sure you're up to date.

Speaker 6 (34:43):
Are you I am up to date?

Speaker 9 (34:45):
Yes?

Speaker 8 (34:46):
I did check that.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
Okay, So go to play Store, go to your your profile,
make sure it says all apps up to date. So
you want to do that, you're probably I'm without looking up.
I'm not sure if the Note nine is getting any
sort of you know, major software up dates from Samsung.
It maybe through that period, so it may be over.
But what I would do is yeah, but Carlen, the

(35:07):
main thing is that, you know, how hackers are getting
a hold of people is really through social engineering. So
be aware of what you're clicking. Be aware of the
text that you're responding to. You know, if it says, hey,
we've got a ups shipment for you, click here and
confirm your social Security number, don't do that.

Speaker 6 (35:24):
No, I'm pretty good at that point.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
Okay, Well, then it sounds like since you're calling in
and you're aware of this stuff, you're you're ahead of
a lot of folks. So Carlenh, yeah, I'm up against it. Yeah, okay,
go ahead, all right.

Speaker 6 (35:37):
They have those like a charge ye or a charge check,
those things that you plug into your charger before you
plug it into your phone.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
I'm not familiar with those. I don't think you need that.
I've never used one of those. I think you'll be okay,
try the Samsung Members app, check out your battery health,
and just use your phone and enjoy it. All right,
more of your calls Triple eight rich one on one
eight eight eight seven four to two, one zero one.
This is rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich On Tech.

(36:06):
Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you, talking technology at
triple eight rich one oh one eight eight eight seven
four to two, four to one zero one. I will
tell you, listening to this song, there is nothing better
than getting home from an international trip and being back
on like us ground, like as much as I love

(36:30):
other countries, as much as I love traveling. Even though
my passport was taken away for a couple of minutes
and locked up in a box. Uh, it just still
feels good to know. It's like you could breathe a
sigh of relief, because when you're in a different country,
you just never know. You never know, I mean you
never know. Uh. We got lots going on this hour.

(36:51):
We're gonna have Heimi rivera of Pocket. Now my interview
with Heimi about the new foldable phones from Samsung. We
recorded this interview at thirty thousand feet up in the air,
just over Japan, So I think it's a first for
this show, a in flight interview, and it actually sounds

(37:12):
pretty good. You'll be surprised. You'll be surprised how good
it sounds for being recorded in an airplane, and then
later we'll talk about let's see, Oh, I got an
app that's really cool that helps you pay your medical
bills with just taking a picture of them. It's really
really cool. I used it yesterday. Works very well. I
also have some products that I've been using that I
used on my trip, some new headphones from Sony and earbuds,

(37:36):
i should say, and then a new power adapter, International
power Adapter. Let me tell you about this because Verizon
and AT and T not being so nice, they are
charging a new sneaky fee, so be on the lookout
on your bill. According to the Verge, customers on Verizon's
five G Start plan they are affected. So this is

(37:58):
a rate plan adjustment, an extra three dollars per line,
and older plans are affected, including that five G Start
plan which they introduced as Start Unlimited four years ago
that costs seventy dollars a month for a single line.
Why do they want to introduce this three dollars a
month because guess what they want you to change to
one of their newer plans. And the new plan is

(38:20):
called Unlimited Welcome. I know, so confusing. This starts at
sixty dollars a month, which, wow, that sounds a lot cheaper.
But you don't get mobile hotspot like you did with
Start Unlimited, so you have to pay an extra ten
dollars a month for that. So yeah, the price comes
out to about the same if it's seventy bucks a month.
But it's just, you know, it's not nice. It's just
not nice. According to c NET, AT and t's rate

(38:43):
adjustment will hit customers on the Unlimited Elite plan. You're
going to be paying an extra two dollars and fifty
cents a month. This was previously AT and t's top
tier plan. It costs eighty five dollars a month. This
is the best part, according to AT and t's website.
Their levy this fee so that AT and T can
quote continue to deliver the great wireless service you expect.

(39:07):
I didn't realize it costs them extra two fifty a
month to deliver the same plan that people have had
for years.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
But I don't know.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
What do I know? I don't run a cellular company. Now,
the new Premium Unlimited plan is about the same. You
get fifty gigs of hotspot data for eighty five dollars
a month. That's even more than the previous plan that
only gave you forty. But here's the catch. If you switch,
you lose your free HBO Max subscription. And so that's

(39:34):
that's the catch. They want to get people off the
HBO Max because when they offered these plans with HBO
Max or now it's called Max Included, it was part
of AT and T. Now it's not part of AT
and T. So they have to pay whoever owns it
Warner Brothers. I don't know who it is now. Were
people crying about this switch to Max? No, I don't
think so. Nobody cares. Uh. Oh I got hit with

(39:56):
a new charge this month on my internet. It went
up by five bucks a mo. So now I'm paying
eighty five dollars a month for my internet and not
even no warning, no nothing, not even a courtesy phone call,
text email, nothing, just goes from eighty bucks a month
to eighty five. And I have to sit there and
log in and look at my bill and see why
it's up. And just said, oh, your price increased five

(40:18):
bucks a month. Oh, thanks thanks for letting me know.
Phone lines are open. Triple eight rich one oh one
eight eight eight seven four to two four to one
zero one get in now, because all the people that
wanted a call that got all angry over my Twitter
rant are now not listening anymore. So you've got a
free phone line. Kim is probably wondering why nobody's calling.

(40:40):
It's because everyone's angry at me because I made fun
of Twitter changing the name. Oh everyone's all upset. Okay,
let me tell you about the Samsung products in a
little bit more depth here. So two new phones. Samsung
Galaxy Z Flip five. Now, this is kind of the
entry level flip phone. It's kind of like a classic,

(41:01):
like a Motorol eraser. This is the phone. It costs
one thousand dollars, which I know is expensive, but it's
basically a Samsung Galaxy S. But it folds in half,
all right, yeah, folds closed. This phone has a new
larger cover screen, so it's like three times bigger than
it was on the Z Flip four. So this means
you can capture pictures easily. There's new widgets. You can

(41:25):
even watch Netflix YouTube and look at Google Maps on
the cover screen without having to open the phone. So
it's nice. And you know, I've got it, and I've
been playing with it and it's basically just a Samsung
phone that folds in half. So if you want something
that's cool, if you want something that's pocketable, it's a
nice little phone, it really is. And so the cover

(41:47):
screen being a lot bigger makes it a lot more usable,
makes it a lot easier to kind of to use
this phone without opening it. So that's one thousand dollars.
And the thing about that is that if you have
one of these old old flip phones, like the z
Flip four, they're giving you like almost the entire price
towards the new phone. You may have to pay one

(42:08):
hundred or two hundred dollars to upgrade, but you're also
getting double the storage, which is kind of like the
price right there. So if you have the fold the
Flip four, you may want to just look into upgrading
to the Flip five because the trade in values are
really really high, so you might want to do that.
Now when it comes to the Fold five, this is
a totally different beast. This is really like a you know,

(42:32):
this is like the professional folding phone. This one folds
open and closed like a book, and so it's got
this narrow screen on the outside. They didn't change the
size of the screens. So you've got a narrow screen
on the outside, I think it's six point seven inches.
On the inside it's just over seven inches, so it's
almost like a tablet when you open this thing up.
And this is a device that is kind of like

(42:55):
just the power user's device. So if you want something
that is like the most foldable, this is it the
fold five. So what have they done differently on this?
They created an entirely new hinge. So the hinge will
open to any single angle you want it to open,
and it stays really solid and it stays open. It's
got less parts than before, it's more durable than before,

(43:18):
but it can stay open at any angle you want.
So if you want to watch videos on this on
the plane, if you want to just like right now,
I've got my show timer going on on the screen.
It's just it's a really durable, kind of useful device.
So that's really cool. Let's see what else what else
is new on there? The processor obviously is new. The

(43:38):
price stays the same. It's eighteen hundred dollars, so that
price is really going to keep a lot of people
from getting this. But again, you know, if you want
this device, and so what Samsung told me is that
when it comes to pre orders on these devices, they're
both available on August eleventh. By the way, pre orders
are right now, you're gonna get your best deals. If
you place your pre order, they're gonna get the maximum

(43:59):
trade in value because they want people, they want a
good number out of the gate. Samsung, in a couple
of weeks before this thing even launches, wants to say
we've had the most pre orders ever. We've had the
most people buy these foldable phones. And how they do
that They make really good offers in the first couple
of weeks. After the first couple of weeks, anything goes,
you don't know they're gonna you know, you're gonna get
less for your old phones. So eighteen hundred dollars for

(44:22):
this device. The fold five comes in Icy blue, Phantom black,
and cream. And I've been using this device for the
past couple of days, and I gotta say it's a
really nice foldable phone. The outside screen is really narrow,
and so it's definitely not ideal for using the outside
screen because it's narrow and people that are using a

(44:45):
smartphone are used to kind of a wider screen. But
it's also very comfortable. Oh, the big change I should
have mentioned this is that both of these phones now
close completely flat. So it used to be there was
a kind of a gap between them. There is no
longer a gap between the screens when you close these phones,
and so it makes it more comfortable, it makes it

(45:07):
easier to hold. It just feels like more of a
slick kind of device. And so that is a big,
big improvement. And if you had one of the older phones,
that's kind of a reason to do it. So the
bottom line on these devices. We're going to talk to
Himien a little bit about what he thinks, but I
think that if you want to jump on the bandwagon

(45:27):
and try something new, the flip is an easy way
to do that. The fold a little bit more involved.
You really have to kind of want a foldable phone
to get that device, because it is a major change.
With that said, I've loved it. Am I ready to
give up a regular phone for this? I'm not sure,
But it's one of those things where it's really cool

(45:49):
and it's a feat of engineering. And so you know,
like my friend Jimi, when I was talking to him,
he has specific use cases that he likes You can
also have a stylus with the Fold five, and so
the case that they sampled us with is it's got
a stylus on the back and the stylust is actually longer,
and so it's really easy to use compared to the
previous spens that they've had before. And again, it's one device.

(46:13):
So if you travel a lot and you want a
cell phone and a tablet in one, this is it.
The Fold five is really engineered for making you carry
less things in this world. So if you want to
be a digital nomad and travel with just a laptop
and a smartphone, no tablet, no kindle, this will do
it all. So it's got a lot of functionality in

(46:34):
a device. The other two things that they launched Galaxy
tab S nine. This is a premium tablet. The thing
to know about it, it's a tablet that's completely waterproof,
which is really cool. It's IP sixty eight, which is
the highest rating for water resistance and dust resistance. It
also comes with an spen and it also has a
new amal ed screen, so the screen is way better

(46:57):
quality than it was before, even on the baseline. So
you've got the tab S nine, the S nine plus
and the S nine Ultra, and these things start at
eight hundred dollars. They go up to twelve hundred dollars.
You can get a cellular connection in them if you
want so. I typically don't recommend Android tablets just because
they're good for entertainment. This is a premium tablet, and

(47:18):
the s pen on it is really really premium as well.

Speaker 2 (47:21):
All Right.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
The other thing Galaxy Watched six and the Galaxy Watch
six Classic. The Galaxy Watch has got a new processor
for the first time in like a couple of years,
so they're gonna function better, maybe get better battery life.
They also track your sleep really well. And the thing
to know is that the Galaxy Watch Classic has the

(47:43):
rotating bezel that people really like, and so they took
away this feature on the Samsung Galaxy Watches a while ago,
and now it's back. People really like that physical rotating bezel,
and so if you got the Classic that's the one
that has it, please start at two hundred ninety nine
dollars and then go up to four hundred and twenty

(48:04):
nine dollars. You're also going to be able to for
the first time use WhatsApp on these watches. Google calendar
and Gmail, and so if you want to check your
Gmail on your wrist and your Google calendar, those will
be a whare os exclusive? All right, and himI will
talk more about this stuff in just a little bit,
all right, give me a call Triple eight rich one
on one, eight eight eight seven four to two, four

(48:25):
to one zero one. We'll have more of your calls
coming up right here on rich on Tech. Welcome back
to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you,
talking technology at triple eight rich one oh one. That's
eight eight eight seven four to two, four to one
zero one. Let's see social media. You can find me.

(48:49):
I gotta read this because everything's changed in the past
couple of weeks. You can follow me on social media
at rich on Tech. I'm on Instagram, I'm on Facebook,
I'm on X formerly Twitter, and I'm on threads. And yeah,
you found me on X because you're all yelling at
me saying that you know my rant about Twitter. You're

(49:10):
all all hurt. Okay, I'm sorry. I don't get angry
that much about stuff, but like I just sometimes, you know,
give me a break. Coming up this hour, we got
Haimi Rivera a pocket now. But let's let's go to Jack.
Let's go to Jack in Goldendale, Washington. Jack, You're own
with Rich, Hello, my friend, how's it going good?

Speaker 10 (49:33):
I was wondering, if you know, I actually have two
questions if you have time. I wonder if you know
why when I watch I do the free YouTube on
my Roku tv, And why is it sometimes the videos
are backwards? They're like mirror. Do you know what I
mean that? Like if you see a street sign or something,
it's it's backwards. Or if you see a gas price

(49:53):
or the gas station, it's backwards.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
I mean I've seen that on Are you talking pictures
or video?

Speaker 2 (50:00):
Uh?

Speaker 10 (50:01):
Usually it's a video because I'm watching YouTube.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
And is it the entire like is all the writing
on the screen backwards? Or is it just that just
what's in the video.

Speaker 10 (50:08):
It's just what's in the video. Well, I wondered if
maybe somehow, because I've never posted anything to YouTube, I
don't know if maybe that they're posting it backwards.

Speaker 1 (50:18):
No, I think I think that it's just the way
it's being recorded is perhaps, you know, backwards, but it's
typically okay. So there's a couple of things going on.
Sometimes people put things through a they flip it so
that they it gets past like copyright stuff. Like sometimes
if it's like running through copyright, they'll they'll flip it
so that it's you know, it's just it trips up

(50:39):
those those checks that could be that could be what
you're seeing now when it comes to smartphones, when you're
taking pictures with a selfie camera, a lot of times
out of the box, those those pictures could be reversed.
So if you take a photo of you, like a selfie,
and there's text behind you, sometimes that text will be

(51:00):
backwards in your picture when you look at it. And
so there is a setting on both the iPhone and
Android where on iPhone it's called mirror front Camera, and
if you have that turned on, that means that it's
gonna be kind of like a mirror, like it's going
to be reversed, you're right backwards. And then on Android
it's the same thing. If you go into the Samsung
camera settings, it says, yeah, gosh, let's say I gotta

(51:23):
find it. But oh, safe selfies as previewed. So safe selfies,
Oh oh here we go, we got it, Jack, You're right.
Save selfies and selfie videos as they appear in the
preview without flipping them.

Speaker 2 (51:37):
So there you go.

Speaker 1 (51:38):
If they record a selfie on the front facing camera,
let me try this right now. Okay, So I'm recording
a selfie and I turn that feature on, and now
when I play it back, sure enough, it's the text
is reversed. So there's our mystery. Mystery solved.

Speaker 10 (51:54):
Okay, thank you. If you have time one more question.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Uh, sure, Well, it depends what the question is you.

Speaker 10 (52:00):
I know it's the Garmin dash cameras. I recently installed
two of them in my cars and the app that
Garment supplies, so that's called Garman Drive. That almost never works.
I've seen YouTube videos and even on there they say
it works about maybe ten percent of the time. Do

(52:21):
you have any understanding as to why that is and
why Garment won't fix it?

Speaker 1 (52:25):
Well, they're probably not putting a lot of effort into it.
That's probably why.

Speaker 10 (52:28):
They're making the money up front.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
Okay, Now, is it Android or iOS?

Speaker 10 (52:34):
It's well, it's I don't know.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
Well, what's your phone? Do you have an iPhone or Android?

Speaker 10 (52:39):
I have an Android, but it doesn't matter. I take
the chip out, the little chip out of the camera,
plug it into my computer and I can look at
videos and whatnot, but you're supposed to be able to
use your phone to see what your dash camera is
seeing alive, right, And I don't know that it matters
whether it's uh Android or iPhone.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
Yeah, I mean, look, they've got they've got apps for both,
and I'm looking at the version history and they updated
it on July twentieth, July tenth, June twenty ninth, May
twenty fourth, So I would check to see if your
app is up to date, just to make sure. It
seems like they are working on it. So, I mean,
it's like, you know, I kind of joked, I said,
they're not putting that much effort, but clearly they are.
So I think Garment is a very popular brand. A

(53:24):
lot of people have this. The apps have over a
million downloads, So I think that for sure you should,
you know, you should probably make sure it's up to
date and hopefully that will fix things. All right.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
Let's see.

Speaker 1 (53:40):
Oh, let me tell you about this app.

Speaker 2 (53:42):
This app.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
I used this last night. Oh, thanks for the question, Jack.
By the way, So I used this app last night.
It's called Papaya. I had a couple of medical bills
to pay, and they're always such a pain to pay
because you got to find the website, you got to
log in, you got to sign in, you got to
find all your info. You literally take a picture of
the bill with app and you can use your credit card,
debit card, bank account to pay it. They figure out

(54:05):
how to pay it. I did a story with this
company last year. Again. It's called Papaya Pay and you
take a picture pretty much any bill, but medical bills
especially and they will pay. And I got my confirmations
this morning that my bills were paid. I'll put a
link on the website. Rich on Tech dot TV. Coming up,
himI Rivera. We'll talk about the new Samsung foldable phones.

(54:28):
You're listening to rich on Tech.

Speaker 5 (54:31):
Welcome back to rich on Tech.

Speaker 1 (54:33):
This is where I talk about the tech stuff I.

Speaker 2 (54:35):
Think you should know about.

Speaker 1 (54:36):
And if you can tell, I'm actually on the plane
back from Seoul, South Korea. Sitting next to me is
himI Rivera. A pocket now, himI, thanks so much for
chatting with me.

Speaker 11 (54:48):
We've been trying to have this conversation for how long
my six months? Now here we are, and now here
we are, I'm stuck with you for the next ten hours.
Don't worry, it's not gonna last that long.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
So HEIMI was at the event in uh South Korea
as well as myself. We were at the Samsung Unpacked
where they unveiled four new devices, the Fold five, the
Flip five, a watch, and some tablets. So let's start
with the Flip of the foldable phones, because you're actually

(55:22):
a foldable phone user. Oh yeah, So what is your
overall takeaway from what they announced?

Speaker 2 (55:29):
You know, this is full refinement.

Speaker 11 (55:31):
I mean, we again expect Toyota to come up with
a new Corolla all the time.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
You know.

Speaker 11 (55:35):
I love the time that we had at the design
studio where it's like even in phones, we have a
facelift gear and then it's a big bag. And so
this is a facelift, but it was a much needed facelift.
I believe everything that they changed is exactly what I
complained about the previous foldables, and so for me, that's
a good enough.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
Upgrade to want them.

Speaker 11 (55:57):
But that's my quick takeaway is if you bought the
previous ones, obviously, if you find the good trading deal
which they're amazing on Samsung, or the flip not necessarily
the fold the fold didn't get as good this year
as I did last year. I mean, if you could
do that, why not. If you're getting nine hundred dollars
off the flip, you get double the storage, which pretty much.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
Pays that back, Like, why not? But I don't know.

Speaker 11 (56:21):
My takeaway is even if a lot of people were like,
oh my god, this is just an initative update, I'm like,
it's a good iterative, iterative update. It's at least the
things that I wanted to change.

Speaker 2 (56:31):
I don't know about you, but I had.

Speaker 11 (56:32):
Like a lot of crackling noise on the Fold four
over time.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
You don't get any of that now.

Speaker 11 (56:39):
The hinge feels great, the phones feel lighter, which I
wanted so bad.

Speaker 2 (56:45):
So I'm happy.

Speaker 1 (56:46):
Well, let me let me go through some of the
things that you mentioned. So the pricing number one Galaxy
Z Flip five is one thousand dollars phone, and with
trading deals which are very very aggressive, you could face
we get that for free. If you have almost any
device to trade in that's a recent device, then you've
got the Galaxy Z Fold five and that is an

(57:08):
eighteen hundred dollars device. No price change there, But the
biggest difference on both of these devices. On the Flip
five you got a bigger outside screen, and on the
Full five they didn't change the screen sizes, but they
did make that fold completely closed without a gap, Zach,
and the same thing on the z Flip five. And
that's an eighteen hundred dollars device now when you compare

(57:30):
it against other foldables out there. So let's talk specifically
about well, let's talk about the flip first. Who is
the Flip four. I think it's more lifestyle phout.

Speaker 11 (57:40):
It's when people when Motorola came out with the Razor,
it was a bragging phone.

Speaker 5 (57:45):
If you remember, it wasn't the most cutting edge at
the time.

Speaker 11 (57:49):
It was actually like a Motoroll of the six hundred
on a new body, so it didn't have a good camera.

Speaker 2 (57:54):
It was just the flashy, sexy phone. And that's what
this is.

Speaker 5 (57:59):
This is sex appeal.

Speaker 11 (58:00):
At its maximon it's somebody that wants to show off.
But I also like this concept of you know, sometimes
you just want to really you want a small phone,
but you want a big screen, and so it solves
that need of people that want that, and I just
I find it so light. So it's that like people
that are looking for the convenience of a large phone

(58:22):
experience on a small package. That's what it is. But
now they've improved the app, they've proved the outer screen
to be larger. The interesting part though, is as opposed
to Balltarola, they made it more of a selfie thing.
You know, you still have the widgets. You can't really
run apps on it.

Speaker 1 (58:39):
The outer screen is more for just basic tasks things
glancing at notifications, and it's nice to have that in
a large format, but to run entire apps on there
you probably don't. Although the ones that you can run
we tested this yesterday, Netflix, YouTube, Google Maps, and there's
one more that I can't remember right out. But so

(59:00):
those three now I get it. Those are good use cases.
Google Maps, you want to glance your map, see what's
going on. YouTube, you watch a little video on the
tiny screen on the outside. Whatever, Netflix, same thing. So
and maybe more app makers that. I think it depends
on the app if it's necessary or reasonable to have
it on that outside screen. But otherwise you get this phone.

(59:21):
It's just like you said, it's kind of fun. It's different.
You want something that's different. Now, let's talk about the
fold because this is an entirely different beast.

Speaker 2 (59:30):
That's my baby. Yeah, so you carry this device.

Speaker 5 (59:33):
I've carried it all year for three years.

Speaker 1 (59:35):
Tell me about your thoughts about the Fulton, because.

Speaker 5 (59:39):
I am an active user.

Speaker 11 (59:41):
If it's like if they grabbed my wish list, then
they fixed it. Like I don't like the crackling noise
on the hinge.

Speaker 2 (59:47):
I don't know.

Speaker 11 (59:47):
I would cringe at it, and now it's gone like
cringe at the hinge. Yes, that's that's a good put
right there. I would hate that.

Speaker 2 (59:55):
I want it and not.

Speaker 11 (59:58):
Necessarily tucked in, but I want to be uh, you know,
I didn't want the case to be this like bulky thing,
and it's been that way for two years.

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
Now.

Speaker 5 (01:00:07):
They fixed that. They've made a smaller spen.

Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
A case that removes the.

Speaker 5 (01:00:13):
Camera bump uh and adds an s meen in a
smart way.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
So, just to be clear, the spen sits on the
case on the outside, on the back.

Speaker 11 (01:00:22):
And it's an optional part. Yeah, it's still like it
used to be least year, but it has the advantage
that now it's a lot more compact. It resembles more
of the spen on the Galaxys series with the exception
that it's longer so it's easier to grab.

Speaker 2 (01:00:35):
I like that. If you want to make a phone.

Speaker 11 (01:00:36):
This, then there's no way you're going to the camera.
Technology is all about physics, so the cameras protrude a lot.
This phone is a wobbling nightmare on a table. And
because it's so, because it's slimmer than most phones, it
just wobbles so much more than any other thing that
I've used. And so it's good that you can get
the case and solve that problem. And at the same time,

(01:00:58):
you know it does the fav does you the favor
of you the pen if you wanted. Going back to
your point, I like what they did. I know a
lot of people are complaining about the screen being not wide.

Speaker 5 (01:01:07):
Enough in comparison to the competition.

Speaker 11 (01:01:10):
I tried to move away from Zebolt four for pixel
fold I'm sorry, I can't believe this is a foldable
mate by Google. I actually like the outer screen for
like quick interactions, and if I need a big screen,
I just open the phone because that's the whole point.

Speaker 5 (01:01:28):
So I will mostly spend my time opening the phone.

Speaker 11 (01:01:31):
But if I'm like on the go, have you ever
tried to juggle at iPhone FOURT FROMAX.

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
It's a lot. It's a lot.

Speaker 11 (01:01:37):
And so it's that thing where you want a big screen,
but you don't always want a big screen. And I
like how how that that thinner and narrower profile conforms
to your pocket so much.

Speaker 2 (01:01:48):
Better than the pixel fold.

Speaker 11 (01:01:50):
And so there are things about the pixel fold, like
if you're if you're, if you want to watch like
a video on the outer street, and then so much
more convenient. Yes, if you want to do like the
flex mode, yes it's convenient. I can get all those things.
But for some reason I find myself like opening it
and then flipping it around because Android and landscape is terrible.

Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
And that's the other thing about it is that if
you are traveling or you're moving around any sort of way,
this really becomes a phone and a.

Speaker 11 (01:02:18):
Tablet, right right, And then that's a thing like I
you know me, like my bag, you just you just
held my back back.

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
I took it down from the overhead compartment.

Speaker 11 (01:02:26):
Yeah, and if that weighs more than twenty pounds, yeah,
from the laptop to the cameras to the gear. I
have the cherry pick what I carry. So I don't
want to carry a kindle. I don't want to carry
like for me, my fold is my e reader. It's
like my workhorse.

Speaker 5 (01:02:42):
Any takeaways from Korea, I guess my experiences.

Speaker 11 (01:02:46):
You know, same thing as the largest smartphone manufacturer in
the world, and I have to admire their humbleness in
listening to feedback at every session that I was in.

Speaker 1 (01:02:58):
We're gonna leave it there. I think we have nine
hours left on the flight, but I only have a
three hour show, and I think food is getting served.
himI Rivera.

Speaker 2 (01:03:07):
How can folks find you?

Speaker 5 (01:03:09):
Oh, you can find me on Instagram him Riveta there
or YouTube is on YouTube.

Speaker 11 (01:03:15):
We're at Pocket now and you've been there for as
its YouTube started pretty much.

Speaker 5 (01:03:20):
And then on Twitter him underscore Riveta.

Speaker 2 (01:03:22):
Which is is it X now? I don't know. I
think so.

Speaker 5 (01:03:25):
I think it made the switch while we were rating Caria.

Speaker 1 (01:03:27):
And by the way, Heimi, you carried entire production studio
in your backpack to record your daily updates.

Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
In your hotel rooms wherever you are.

Speaker 5 (01:03:35):
You travel a lot rooms into studios.

Speaker 1 (01:03:37):
Been amazing, himI Rivera, Pocket Out, thanks so much for
joining me on the plane.

Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
You really had no choice. It's been amazing. You know
I'm a big fan of your work man.

Speaker 5 (01:03:45):
Such a pleasure.

Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
More rich On Tech coming your way.

Speaker 5 (01:03:48):
Give me a call if you have a question about
technology at.

Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
Triple eight rich one on one. That's eight eight eight
seven four to two, four to one zero one. You're
listening to rich on Tech from.

Speaker 5 (01:03:58):
Thirty eight thousand feet right over Japan.

Speaker 1 (01:04:04):
Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here talking
technology with you. Keep the tweets coming or sorry, the
ex is coming at rich on Tech. You know I'll
read them at the end of the show in the
feedback segment. For sure. You guys are really fired up
about this Twitter stuff. I didn't realize that so many
people were so invested in the name Twitter. Let's go

(01:04:28):
to Gloria in Pacoima. Gloria. You're on with rich.

Speaker 9 (01:04:32):
Hi, Rich, thank you.

Speaker 7 (01:04:34):
What.

Speaker 9 (01:04:35):
I bought a Sony phone, the new Experia what xp.

Speaker 1 (01:04:45):
Okay and.

Speaker 9 (01:04:48):
I finally got it. I thought it was made in Japan.
It says made in Taiwan. There's no charge table. I
can't believe it. And there's two little pieces of paper
And when I went online to find out is this normal?

(01:05:10):
And apparently people usually get a lot more paper so
I was even jipped on the paper. Whatever is going
on with that, I don't know. But when I talked
to the guy where I picked it up at Best Bite,

(01:05:34):
he said that I should be able to just go
on the phone and the phone will direct you through it.
But what about the charge cable? I had no idea.
There was no table in the box.

Speaker 1 (01:05:51):
Well, yeah, I mean that's I'm not familiar with this particular.
You know this box, what's in there? But this is
funny because you know, people do these YouTube videos on boxings,
and so it tells you what's in the box. Now, historically,
you know, we've gotten rid of the charging brick like
that doesn't come in the box. But typically I have

(01:06:13):
not seen a phone come without a charging cable. Typically
it has at least a USB cable. So it doesn't
have that at all.

Speaker 9 (01:06:23):
And it's in the paper that I got. I read
and it said you need to use Sony cable. And
I'm like, are you kidding? You know why this Sony cable?
This is nuts?

Speaker 1 (01:06:38):
That is nuts. You don't need to use a Sony
cable for sure. I'm trying to see. Usually they have
kind of like what's in the box on these things,
and I'm trying to find a video about it, and
I can't. I can't seem to find a video that
has like what's an unboxing?

Speaker 9 (01:06:57):
Yeah, on YouTube, and this is this is basically it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:02):
Oh it is okay. So people have confirmed that that's okay.

Speaker 9 (01:07:04):
It's with a lot more instructions. I guess I'm not
really sure if their instructions or things in different language.

Speaker 1 (01:07:14):
Well most most okay. Now that's you know, look a
couple things. Where did you buy this phone? That's fine, Oh,
you bought it best Buy. Okay. So there is a
full instruction manual online, so you can download that. It's
available on the website. Now, the reason why they don't
include it in the box. You know, when we used

(01:07:36):
to get boxes of stuff, there's a big old manual,
there's all kinds of paperwork. These companies have really doubled
down on sustainability, which means they're trying to make the
packaging recyclable. They're using less packaging, they're using less materials
inside the boxes, and so it is a trend that
we're definitely getting less in the box. But I think

(01:07:57):
that's a good thing. In fact, the Sony headphone and
I'm going to talk about in a moment. They actually
the entire box is recyclable, it's paper, it's minimalistic and
almost you couldn't believe that these are three hundred dollars
he earbuds inside this box because it feels fake. It's
like so minimalistic. So I think I think you have

(01:08:19):
a legitimate phone here. I think that it's fine. The cable,
you don't need to worry about getting a Sony cable.
Any USBC cable will work. I would recommend just going
on Amazon getting an Amazon Basics cable, or you can
go to a company like mana Price and get a
cable there. I mean, there's many many cables you can get.

(01:08:40):
I think they're all going to be fine. A Balkan
cable will be fine. Just get USB C to USB C.
And do you have a charger for this phone? Okay,
so you have a way to charge it? What about
what was your old.

Speaker 9 (01:08:58):
Phone I couldn't use. I used to just plug it in. Uh,
it came with a cable and a little adapter to your.

Speaker 1 (01:09:13):
To the wall. But does does your old does your
old charging cable and adapter work with this new phone?
Did you have USB C before.

Speaker 9 (01:09:22):
What I don't know. I have to look and see, Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:09:25):
So so check to see if that connects, uh to
the you know, to the new phone if you have
an older Android, you had an Android phone before? Which
which one do you know?

Speaker 9 (01:09:35):
Oh, it's a piece of garbage, A Moto G.

Speaker 2 (01:09:39):
A Moto Okay.

Speaker 9 (01:09:41):
Yeah, it wasn't updating and I couldn't make it update.
It was insane.

Speaker 1 (01:09:47):
Okay, Well, the Moto G probably, unless it's a really
old one, it probably should have USB C on it
so that that cable should work, you know, if it's
as it was a really old phone. I mean, Android
has had USBC for a long time, so I think
you should be okay with that charger and it should.
As long as you plug it in and it charges
your phone, you're good. You don't need a special cable
for that. As for the manual, you can get that

(01:10:10):
online easily. Just google Sony Experia one five one V
and there is an entire manual on there, and I
think you're good to go. I mean, I know it's different.
Sony is not not as prevalent here in the US
with their smartphones, so you know, a lot of people

(01:10:30):
say the cameras are good on these. I haven't personally
tested this one, but the reality is it's just a
matter of Sony is not really focused on the US market.
The US market is dominated by Samsung, it's dominated by Apple,
and then the Google Pixel is trying and it's doing
its best. So I think you're fine. I think your
phone's fine. I don't think it's you know, defective or

(01:10:53):
not legitimate, especially if you got it from best Buy. So, Gloria,
thanks for calling. Appreciate that. Let's go to Kierra. Is
that Am I saying that right in Indiana?

Speaker 9 (01:11:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (01:11:05):
Yeah, that's funny.

Speaker 1 (01:11:06):
Hi, welcome to the show. I'm doing great.

Speaker 7 (01:11:09):
Thanks.

Speaker 12 (01:11:10):
I was just driving and booking channels around and heard
you on the radio and heard you talking about Samsung.
So I'm a mobile gamer and I used sam fun
phone for game. I can't have a stands on S
twenty one Ultra and not too long ago, I think January,

(01:11:32):
at the beginning of the year. I'm looking to upgrade
it and I found up and looking around. So I
have the Ultra and I do really good. I'm applying
with it. I like the SPS and everything. Sure, he
heaps up a little bit here and there, but it's
death and I just put a.

Speaker 7 (01:11:47):
Fan on it.

Speaker 12 (01:11:49):
So I was looking around and I was going to
upgrade to the S twenty two, and then I found
out through watching YouTube videos with S twenty two Ultra
actually isn't as good a gaming phone as an S
twenty two plus. For some reason. The S twenty two
plus gets a better SPS rate and.

Speaker 5 (01:12:12):
Stuff like that.

Speaker 12 (01:12:13):
So I was wondering. I was curious from you if
you had any suggestions on mobile gaming phonies, like because
I know they came out with the S twenty three.

Speaker 2 (01:12:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:12:24):
Well, here's the thing. The S twenty three Ultra, from
what I was told, when you know going through that
whole thing, it has an improved cooling system, and so
I think that that's probably the most important aspect for gaming,
because you want to keep your phone cool while you're
charging it, if you're gaming, while you have it plugged in,
or you know, if you're gaming, it's it's running that

(01:12:45):
phone pretty the most intense it can be run. So
I personally would probably take a look at the S
twenty three Ultra just because now the S twenty three
entire lineup has the better vapor chamber cooling system, but
they made a big deal about this when we were
testing out the phone, and so it doesn't and just
personally using the device, it doesn't get that warm. I

(01:13:07):
mean compared to a lot of devices like my iPhone
the other day it was getting like so warm, you know,
it gets to that point where you can't see the
screen anymore because it's so hot. But I haven't really
seen that happen with the S twenty three Ultra, So
i'd probably take a look into that and see some
comparisons about that on YouTube, because I think that the
new cooling system on the S twenty three Ultra is
even better than what you're gonna find on the S

(01:13:29):
twenty two. And if that's the important part to you, Kierra,
that's what I would do. So thanks for the call.

of things I tested out on my trip to Korea
a new pair of Sony headphones. These are new, I
keep calling them headphones. They're really wireless earbuds. They're the
WF one thousand X fives. Say that ten times fast.

(01:14:38):
But I will tell you they're small. They have great
noise cancellation. I mean these things are tiny, even the
charging case is tiny. Really good sound quality. I mean
it's Sony after all. They support high resolution music formats.
They have a bunch of microphones on them, more than before.
Plus AI technology to make sure that it's here your

(01:15:00):
voice and only your voice when you're on phone calls,
even when you're in a noisy environment. It actually knows
when you're talking based on the vibration of the bones
in your cheek. So it's really, really smart. It's tiny,
twenty five percent smaller than before, twenty percent lighter than
previous Sony earbuds. They are comfortable to wear. In fact,

(01:15:21):
when I started the interview with himI on the plane,
I still had my earbuds in. I didn't even realize
that they were in because I forgot about them. Battery
lasts forever on these things, up to eight hours on
a charge. The case provides up to twenty four hours total.
You plug them in for three minutes, you get sixty
minutes worth of play. So if you forget to charge

(01:15:42):
these and you need to use them, very very easy.

Speaker 2 (01:15:46):
Again.

Speaker 1 (01:15:46):
These are the new Sony wireless earbuds, the WF one
thousand x five. These would be the equivalent to like
the Bows noise canceling headphones that go over your ears,
but like for earbuds.

Speaker 2 (01:15:57):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:15:57):
The coolest feature that I used on these, and I
can't tell you how amazing this was multi device connection,
so you can connect these too. I had it connected
to three three devices. Maybe it just works with two,
but I kept switching back and forth. And the coolest
thing was I was editing on my laptop and I

(01:16:18):
was listening to music on my phone and there is
no need to switch. You don't have to say, oh,
I want to connect, I want to play something on here.
It just figured it out. When I started playing music
on my phone, okay, the music came through the earbuds.
When I started editing on my computer, the editing audio
came through the earbuds, so they automatically switched with multi
device connection. It was incredible. It's such a cool feature.

(01:16:40):
It's kind of like what Apple does, but you have
to have all Apple products. This works with any product
and it's really really good. It also works with voice assistants,
so you can have it set up to work with
Google Assistant and Alexa they also have. The ear tips
are very different. They are not silicone. They're almost like
a spongy what with this like a foamy, spongy material,

(01:17:04):
and it fits very comfortably in your ear. But I
will tell you these definitely fell out of my ears
a little or they felt like they were going to
fall out a little bit more so that could be
the ear tips. Maybe I have to adjust them. I
did try a different size, but overall, I'm really really
liking these. These earbuds from Sony Brand New again WF

(01:17:24):
one thousand x five three hundred dollars though, so they
are very very expensive, and so I will tell you
that I also like a pair of earbuds from OnePlus
called the Nord Buds that are forty dollars and they
are really really good. So I don't know if you
have to spend three hundred if you're traveling a lot
and you want something that's really high quality and that
convenience and the battery, these are really really good. I

(01:17:48):
have not looked at what other reviewers are saying about them,
so I can't tell you what they're saying. But for
me personally, I think that these are pretty good. The
only downside I would say is for three hundred dollars,
i'd want them to feel like they're falling out of
my ears less. The other thing I tested is this
one World charger, and this was pretty incredible as well.

(01:18:08):
This is a travel adapter, you know, like you get
one of those power converters, you know, they're usually like
twenty bucks. Well, the difference with this one is that
it's got five It can charge five devices at once,
including a tablet and a laptop at the same time.
So on the bottom of this one World Adapter It

(01:18:29):
has four USB outputs. It's got two USB C and
two USBA, so you can charge things. The two USB
c's can charge up to one hundred watts. That means
it can charge your MacBook, it can charge a tablet,
it can charge them both at the same time. It
can charge your iPhone obviously you're Android, and it will
do it all very very fast. And of course on

(01:18:51):
the top there's a standard AC outlet so you can
plug in anything. But the neat thing about this device
is that it charges everything all at once. It works
in over two hundred countries. You know. You slide out
the little adapters to plug it in, and it was great.
I have no problems with this device except the price.
It is expensive again, it's about one hundred dollars. But

(01:19:12):
the neat thing is if you get this device, if
you're traveling a lot, you don't need this if you're
not traveling the world a lot. But if you're traveling
a lot and you don't want to carry a bunch
of different adapters, then this is great because you don't
need any other power plugs to plug into an adapter.
So when I was traveling to Italy last year, I
had you know my twenty twenty five dollars Epica adapter

(01:19:33):
whatever it's called from Amazon, and it was great, But
it doesn't charge the USB fast. I had a couple
of USB ports, doesn't charge them fast. And you also
need a separate plug to plug into there because you
need an adapter to plug in your stuff. And so
this is all in one, and they make them in
different models. By the way, I tried the OneWorld one hundred.
They've got a sixty five and a thirty. That's how

(01:19:55):
many watts they output. So with the sixty five you
could do a MacBook. With the thirty watt you can
just do an iPad and an iPhone at the fast speeds.
So again, if you want to see this stuff, I've
got it linked up on my Instagram, at least for
the travel adapter. It's at rich on Tech on Instagram.
Let's go to doc doc is in Montana. Doc You're

(01:20:19):
on with rich.

Speaker 8 (01:20:20):
Hey, how you doing it? Is a great show? Thank
you every week.

Speaker 2 (01:20:23):
Appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (01:20:25):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:20:25):
What can I help you with?

Speaker 8 (01:20:27):
Okay, let's start out by telling you I have really
really bad eyesight, and when I get used to doing something,
I like to keep it the same weight.

Speaker 1 (01:20:35):
Okay, understandable.

Speaker 8 (01:20:37):
I've been using Windows seven, but more and more websites
are telling me that you have to update to ten.
You can't. You can't update browsers or whatever. So I'm
afraid of losing everything. I mean, how do you back
stuff up? Well, you always hear back up the computer,

(01:20:58):
but nobody tells you how to do it.

Speaker 1 (01:21:00):
Well, that's a good question. So the new Gosh, so
you're on Windows seven. So Windows seven end of life
was back in twenty twenty. So that's why you're getting
these messages that say, you know, you could get infected
with the viruses. The software is not up to date anymore.
Windows seven, I don't believe that it has the Windows
backup built in because Windows ten and Windows eleven has

(01:21:25):
a simple Windows backup built into it. Let me see
built in backup now.

Speaker 8 (01:21:32):
I was in touch with I think they called the
Disability Helpline or whatever at Microsoft, and they sent me
some of all a media creation tool, but they told
me not to not to use it until I backed
up the computer.

Speaker 1 (01:21:46):
Yeah, okay, yeah, no, that would be okay, okay, So
there is the backup tool on Windows seven. It's been
a while so if you have a hard drive, do
you have an external heart? Can you procure one of these?

Speaker 13 (01:21:56):
Uh?

Speaker 8 (01:21:57):
Can I put on a flash drive?

Speaker 1 (01:21:59):
Flash drive is probably not going to hold everything that
you need, you know, because this is going to back
up basically your entire computer.

Speaker 8 (01:22:06):
So I just ordered one that's big enough to do
the whole computer.

Speaker 1 (01:22:10):
Okay, Well, if you got the flash drive for the
biggest yeah, then that that should be okay. So if
you go to start control panel, system and security, they've
got to back up and restore. And so you connect
your drive, you say, set up back up, and then
you will put your drive in there and then it
will run the backup and you can choose what you

(01:22:31):
want backed up. By default, it's going to be your documents,
your music, your pictures, your videos. And then of course
you can also do a whole system image as well,
and so that that system image may take up a lot,
and that's why I'm saying it may not fit on
that drive.

Speaker 8 (01:22:46):
So all right, let me let me tell you what
I'm looking at now. I went to my computer and
I can see, you know, all the drives. One of
them is the seed drive. Obviously it's the main drive.
And then if I quick that I can go to
use and then if I quick on that I can

(01:23:07):
find Oh, my real name is Mark. I can find
a fold of cold Mark. It has a lot closed
lot next to it. I don't know what that's there for.

Speaker 1 (01:23:20):
That might brother. Can you open the folder? Yeah, okay,
Well then the lock might just mean that it's encrypted,
So that could be that that case, and.

Speaker 8 (01:23:31):
It shows you all of THEMS once you open ut
of you know, I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:23:35):
Look, you can easily you can easily drag your stuff
into this flask drive if you want to do it
that way. I personally would use the built in tool.
I would use the built in tool because that's going
to get everything. It's going to find everything. It's going
to do a system image if you want, which means
you're going to have a full complete backup of this
computer and then you'll be able to easily restore this

(01:23:56):
if you need to if something goes wrong with the update.
And that's what you're talking about that content creation tool.
So again it's start control panel, system and security backup
and restore and then select set up backup and then
next thing, you know, you can put that in there
and set your backup destination and you can back up
to that flash drive that you were talking about. Hopefully

(01:24:18):
you don't need the backup. Hopefully the content creation tool,
everything migrates just fine. If you want something that's online,
which might be easier, you can choose one of the
backup solutions like I drive is a good solution and
back blaze are both top rated. So perhaps look into
something like that and you can just install their software

(01:24:39):
and they would back up your computer and then you
can go ahead with your migration to Windows ten or
whatever you're going to upgrade too, and then if something
goes wrong, you can then dip into these online backups.
And the good news about the online backup is that
it's in the cloud. It's fine. Now. If you're talking
about a classic backup, we always recommend that you would

(01:25:00):
have your computer backed up in at least two places,
and that would be a physical drive and an online drive.
And so you might think about a combination of those
two things, especially if you're going through some sort of
transition here with your computer where you're upgrading the software.
You could lose what's on that drive and you want
it somewhere else, and so having it on a backup

(01:25:20):
drive external and in the cloud would probably be the
best case scenario. But I think you'll be okay with
just one of these things versus nothing. So again, Windows
seven backup, and if you have Windows ten or eleven,
there is a backup tool in there as well. So again,
go into your account settings and uh it's accounts Windows

(01:25:42):
backup and then you can back up all of your
settings through there. So Windows does have a built in
backup and I definitely recommend you use it. Okay, great call, Doc,
thanks for calling from Montana today. Eight to eight Rich
one O one eight eight eight seven four to two
four to one zero one. You are listening to Rich

(01:26:03):
on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro
here and let's go to Joanne. Let's go to Joanne
in Lakewood, Colorado. Joanne, you're on with Rich.

Speaker 7 (01:26:17):
Oh hi, Rich, thank you for taking my call.

Speaker 1 (01:26:19):
Hey, thanks for calling in.

Speaker 7 (01:26:21):
You're welcome.

Speaker 3 (01:26:22):
Man.

Speaker 7 (01:26:22):
I love your show. I'm learning a lot. Here's my issue.
When I'm charging my phone, I Phone thirteen pro, both
chargers I have get hot, and then the app when
I hold the little White Singing and my phone will
also get hot. So my concern is twofold an electrical

(01:26:45):
fire or will my battery blow up?

Speaker 1 (01:26:49):
Yeah? Well, I mean, look, it's it's a concern. It
doesn't happen very often. So I think you're okay, and
I think it'll be fine. But what type of charge
or are you using?

Speaker 7 (01:27:01):
Okay, I have a clever eye, clever, and I have
a balcan.

Speaker 1 (01:27:08):
Okay, is are these newer or older? How long have
they been around?

Speaker 7 (01:27:15):
I would say within the last couple of years.

Speaker 2 (01:27:18):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:27:18):
So I think that you need a new charger, a
new charging brick. So the part that plugs into the wall,
do you know what it's rated at? What's the uh
what's the rating? Like the wattage on it?

Speaker 7 (01:27:32):
Let me see. I'm looking at one. I can't. I
can't see it. I No, I can't.

Speaker 1 (01:27:39):
Okay. So I would get a newer charger because if
you have an older charger and may be charging your
phone really slow, and if it's slow, the slower it's charging,
the more it's going to heat up because it's taking longer.

Speaker 7 (01:27:53):
Oh excuse me, Rick, what I what I bought was
those the faster chargers.

Speaker 1 (01:27:59):
Oh you did?

Speaker 2 (01:27:59):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (01:28:00):
Okay, So the iPhone you said you had an iPhone
thirteen Promax. Yeah, okay, so the iPhone thirteen Pro can
typically charge up to twenty watts. So the old chargers
that that Apple used to include in the box were
a five watch charger and so it was a lot slower.
So I would ensure that your charger can support twenty

(01:28:21):
watts because you want a fast charge to make sure
that you're getting you know, the maximum speed, and that
you're not taking as long to charge this phone and
it's not heating up as much. The other thing I
would look into is what's called a Gan charger ga
N and this is a new type of material that
they use inside the charger that actually keeps it cooler.

(01:28:43):
And so it's I don't know if it's a composite,
whatever it is, it's some sort of new material that
they're using that it's it's basically gonna stay cooler because
it's not your standard the old material that they were
using that would warm up as much. And so if
you have a GAN charger, they typically suppor or a
higher speed and a cooler charge. So if you're worried

(01:29:03):
about that and your charger is warming up, I would
definitely look into one of these chargers. So I know
Belkan makes one. Anchor makes them. There's a Spegan makes them.
I mean a lot of different companies make them, and
so you can get these different chargers that are ga
n it's called Have you seen that on your charger?
Do you know?

Speaker 7 (01:29:23):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:29:24):
Okay, So I would maybe look into that because I've
pretty much switched to that type of charger and it's
a lot cooler, it's a lot faster, and it's kind
of the new technology. It's been around for i'd say
two or three years. So I would look for the
one that I like. If I had to recommend. One
that's pretty inexpensive is Spegan makes one called the Arcstation

(01:29:46):
Pro thirty and it's uh. They're also smaller, by the
way than the standard chargers we used to get. So
I know you don't want to spend money on your charger.
I understand that if you don't want to, I think
you'll be okay. But if you're saying your phone's warming
up and your charger's warming up and you're concerned, you
might want to try a new charger that's with some

(01:30:07):
new technology and perhaps that will make things keep a
little bit cooler. There.

Speaker 7 (01:30:13):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 9 (01:30:14):
I was very helpful.

Speaker 1 (01:30:15):
All right, Joanne, appreciate it. Thanks for calling in today.

Speaker 7 (01:30:17):
You're welcome, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:30:20):
Rich On Tech triple eight rich one oh one eight
eighty eight seven four to two four one zero one.
Coming up, We've got code with Claws. I went to
a demo day where these students who had never coded
before showed off the apps that they created, and it
was really cool. So I'll bring you inside that coming

(01:30:40):
up right after the break. Let me just tell you
about two quick things. Spotify raising prices for the first
time since they launched, So don't be surprised if your
Spotify price goes up next month to ten dollars and
ninety nine cents a month, so the individual plan is
going up by a dollar. Spotify launch in two thousand

(01:31:01):
and eight, came to America in about I think twenty eleven,
and they have not raised prices. It's been nine ninety
nine a month since then. Premium duo fifteen bucks a month,
Premium Family seventeen dollars a month, Student price six dollars
student price, and the other thing to note, Chat GPT
is now available for Android. The official Chat GPT app

(01:31:22):
is now available for Android. Coming up next we'll talk
Code with Claws triple eight Rich one O one eighty
eight seven four to two, four to one zero one.
You're listening to Rich on Tech, Rich on Tech, Rich
Demiro here talking technology with you. Recently, I was at
the Tower Theater Apple Store in downtown Los Angeles for

(01:31:44):
a different kind of summer camp. It was demo day
for a camp called Code with Claws, which is a
free program for students ages thirteen to eighteen. It was
started by supermodel and entrepreneur Carly klaus.

Speaker 13 (01:31:58):
So in twenty fifteen.

Speaker 14 (01:31:59):
Were founded by Carly klass supermodel, philanthropist and activist, and
she had this idea through her own personal experience of
learning how to code herself, that there should be a
space like this that was offered for young people, and
so she created COVID Class back in twenty fifteen, and
here we are eight years later, bigger.

Speaker 13 (01:32:17):
And better, with again five thousand scholars this.

Speaker 14 (01:32:19):
Summer and many more to come in the future.

Speaker 1 (01:32:23):
Oh see. Emo Peoria is CEO of Code with.

Speaker 14 (01:32:26):
Class and the benefit is really a couple things. One
is they learn that they can participate in an industry
that often doesn't look like them, so doesn't have representation
across race and gender. They learn that they can overcome
personal challenge and learn to.

Speaker 13 (01:32:41):
Do a hard thing in just short ten days.

Speaker 14 (01:32:45):
They also learn, I think, a really great set of
skills around collaboration because the final project which you're seeing
here presented at Apple.

Speaker 13 (01:32:53):
Is a group project.

Speaker 14 (01:32:55):
So they work on it together in teams of four
or five, and they learn collaboration and communication and how
to come to consensus, and how to.

Speaker 13 (01:33:02):
Think critically and how to make trade offs. And so
they're really learning a lot of what I will call like.

Speaker 14 (01:33:06):
Twenty first century leadership skills in the process of also
learning how to cope.

Speaker 1 (01:33:12):
This summer, there are more than sixty camps in twenty
cities teaching skills like machine learning, mobile app development, data science,
and web development.

Speaker 14 (01:33:21):
To me is the great benefit long term is that
they will walk away with community that will serve them
throughout their careers and through their education process.

Speaker 13 (01:33:32):
And so that's what we find scholars are really attached
to is not just the two weeks of learning, but
the sort of lifelong community that they join.

Speaker 1 (01:33:40):
Demo day is where the students show off their hard work.

Speaker 15 (01:33:44):
Honestly, Coder's colos was a wonderful experience. I came in
with a zero knowledge of Swiss UI, and by the
end of it, as you just saw, I presented an
entire mobile application. I think the best part of it
was the atmosphere. The friends that I made, the instructors
that I as were amazing, and I was really happy
that they were able to make this learning experience so
enjoyable for me despite it being challenging. Because it was challenging,

(01:34:06):
there were moments where I kind of like felt like
giving up because it was really hard, but I pushed
through with the support of them and eventually made it.

Speaker 1 (01:34:15):
To hear Alixi Sosa's team created an app called unhoused
to help bring awareness to a growing issue in their community.

Speaker 15 (01:34:23):
But there are a lot of programs like this that
basically tell you you can be anyone and you can
code like it doesn't matter your identity who you are.
You can come in and you can create something wonderful
with programming skills. So I would say to look for
programs like these because they're there, and to not be
scared of just trying trying it out, because once you
get over like that learning curve of this is really hard.

Speaker 13 (01:34:43):
It's going to be like pretty good.

Speaker 1 (01:34:45):
From there, Arianna Unoki's group created an app called hands On,
which aims to get people involved in volunteering.

Speaker 16 (01:34:53):
It was great, Honestly, going to the class every day
was a positive experience for me, and I knew everything.

Speaker 13 (01:35:00):
Like every day that I would be.

Speaker 16 (01:35:01):
There, it would just be great, positive like energy and
really uplifting and I felt really.

Speaker 13 (01:35:06):
Included every single day.

Speaker 16 (01:35:07):
Oh, I had no idea about coding. I'd not done
any coding before I joined, so everything was so new
to me, and it was way harder than I expected.
But honestly, I learned so much and I'm really glad
I did it. Honestly, I'm making sure to keep contact
with everyone that I met. Everyone that I met was
really amazing and too. I like that I learned about

(01:35:28):
coding so that I could use it and for future experiences.
Possibly I might go into computer science. So it's great
that I got this, that this opportunity.

Speaker 1 (01:35:37):
What do you think people should know about coding? This
seems kind of intimidating, it is.

Speaker 13 (01:35:41):
I was intimidated, you know.

Speaker 16 (01:35:44):
I think coding is very like the basics of it
are very simple, and it's really just having to memorize
all the different codes. Google was my best friend during this,
so I googled a lot of things. But once I
got the hang of it, it was really easy, and
you know, it's just getting a lots of use get
used to.

Speaker 1 (01:36:03):
This is the fifth year Apple has supported the organization
through their Community Education initiative.

Speaker 17 (01:36:09):
Yeah, the way that we work is, you know, we
work in communities all across the country, and so we
partner with organizations that are nonprofits, community based organizations to
really again provide them with the resources and the access
that they need to bring these coding opportunities and to

(01:36:30):
learn coding and creativity to their communities. And Code with
Classy is a great example of an organization that we
partner with.

Speaker 1 (01:36:40):
Stacey rb is Director of Community Education Initiatives for Apple,
and you know, for.

Speaker 17 (01:36:46):
Code with Classy and Apple, we have a shared goal
of expanding access and ensuring that aspiring developers and entrepreneurs
can make their dreams become a reality. We've also have
seen that an organization like Code with class really can
create amazing community. They have done an incredible job of

(01:37:10):
scaling to reach more than ten thousand learners, creating an
inspiring learning opportunity and learning community along the way, and
I have to say it has been such a privilege
for me to see firsthand, even as recently this week
here in Austin, to meet some of the scholars, and
I'm just blown away by the talent and the passion

(01:37:33):
and the commitment to be this force for good within
their community. You know, we see that coding is just
this universal language, and by learning how to code, understanding
what AI and mL, machine learning and artificial intelligence, learning
about those tools really helps these young young women and

(01:37:55):
young scholars have the tools that they need in order
to build a new world and solve real community challenges,
community challenges that they care about, not necessarily that we're
telling them or a challenge, but they're identifying what these
challenges are. And programs like this really build confidence in
these young coders and give them the skills to empower

(01:38:18):
them to change the world for the better. And that
world can be the global world or right there in
their local community. There's so much that a young scholar
at these coding camps can learn in addition to coding,
that they can use. These are transferable skills to almost
any of the workforce opportunities out there today, collaboration, creativity,

(01:38:41):
problem solving, communication. All of these are skills that they're
developing as they're going through this camp and learning how
to code.

Speaker 1 (01:38:49):
Learning to code is just one aspect of this camp.
Building a worldwide community of the next generation of leaders
is the real takeaway.

Speaker 17 (01:38:58):
Well, we definitely want to the world better than we
found it here at Apple, and I think all of
this lends itself to that. I really do think that
the young scholars, for example, that are attending these coding
classes and these coding camps, they are going to walk
out of here with a renewed sense of confidence, having
learned a lot of additional skills, and be part of

(01:39:22):
a community that they can leverage for many years to come.

Speaker 1 (01:39:27):
Such a great program and such a cool location. If
you haven't been to the Apple Store Tower Theater in
downtown Los Angeles, I highly recommend you give it a visit.
I've covered code with Colossi several times, and although it's
too late to get into the last camps being held
this summer, there's always next year. There's no coding experience required,

Tech coming your way. Give me a call if you
have a question about technology at triple eight rich one
oh one. That's eight eight eight seven four to two
or one zero one. Welcome back to rich on Tech,

(01:40:14):
rich DeMuro talking technology with you. You can find me
on social media at rich on Tech. So, if you
have an Android and you've been jealous of the whole
air tag situation, things are getting better. This week, Google
is rolling out it's new safety feature which will tell

(01:40:34):
you if unknown trackers are around you, and that includes
an AirTag. So this used to be a feature that
was sorely lacking on the Android side of things. But
the big companies Android, Google and Apple and Samsung, they're
all working together for a set of standards that all
the phones will tell tell you, tell the owners when

(01:40:57):
one of these bluetooth tracking devices is around. And the
Bluetooth tracking devices from a variety of companies. So the
good news is now the Android will tell you that.
You can also check manually if you go into I
look for this. It's not available on every phone because
it's rolling out, but you can scan your surroundings. If
you're worried that you might have a tracker nearby, you

(01:41:17):
can go to Android Settings, then Safety and Emergency, and
then there will be an option for unknown tracker alerts
and you can tap scan now. Now, keep in mind
your phone may not have that feature just yet, because
this is brand new and it's rolling out, and it's
probably going to roll out through a software update through
the Google Play Services, which you can manually update, but

(01:41:40):
it's kind of tricky and complicated, so I'm not going
to tell you how to do it right here, but
if you Google online, there is a way to update
your Google Play services. But otherwise I would update your apps,
make sure the software is updated on your phone. Now,
if you're wondering when Google or when Android is going
to have a proper bluetooth tracker, that's coming later this year.
So there's going to be Bluetooth trackers from a variety

(01:42:03):
of companies that use Google's new find My network, just
like Apple's, and again this will be much much better.
You're not gonna be able to use an air tag
with Android, They're not going that far, but these companies
will have Google Android versions of these tracking devices. So
Chipolo is one company that I believe is coming out

(01:42:24):
with them very soon, Chipolo Chiplo. They make a lot
of great trackers. But yeah, so by the end of
the year, all this whole tracking situation will be will
be pretty good. All right, let's get to the feedback segment.
We have a voicemail. So if you go to my
website rich on tech dot TV, in the lower right

(01:42:45):
hand corner, you'll notice there's a little there's a little microphone.
You can hit that microphone and leave me a voicemail.
And that is exactly what Kathleen did.

Speaker 18 (01:42:56):
Hey, rich I just wanted to say thank you from
the bottom of my heart. I am tech illiterate and
getting that reading app was so simple.

Speaker 1 (01:43:10):
And it's going to come in handy.

Speaker 18 (01:43:12):
Thank you for everything you do making life easier.

Speaker 1 (01:43:17):
Well, thank you, Kathleen, and thanks for leaving the message. Again,
if you want to leave a voicemail, you could do
it on the website rich on tech dot TV. Just
hit a little microphone icon the lower right hand corner.
What Kathleen is referring to is a segment I did
on TV about reading apps. So these are apps that
can read your articles out loud. So I talked about

(01:43:38):
ways to kind of cut through your reading list. You know,
you've got that list of items you want to read online,
but it's kind of annoying to get through them all.
So I talked about a bunch of different ways you
can do that. I'll put the link on the show notes.
But I mentioned pocket app, I mentioned the reader mode
on Safari, and the one that she's specifically referring to,
I believe is the Android Reading Mode app, which I

(01:44:00):
mentioned on this show previously, and it basically takes any
article on the Android and makes it really easy to read,
with better fonts, better readability, bigger and it's just really
really nice. So thanks for that, Kathleen, thanks for leaving
the message, and I'll put a link to that story
on the website as well. All right, let's see Marla said,

(01:44:21):
I'm really I need advice on what to do with Evernoe.
I have over six thousand notes and a few thousands
are recipes that I can access from any device. I've
used Evernote since it began. I heard your show about
other note programs I would like to switch, but I
really need your advice, Marla. I will tell you that
I have not found a replacement for Evernote that is

(01:44:42):
exactly like Evernote. But I will tell you that I
do know a place that you can keep your recipes
that would be pretty good. It is an app called
recipe Keeper. And what's cool about this app is that
it sinks your recipes across all your different devices. But
the coolest part is that it parses out the recipe.

(01:45:03):
So I don't know if you've ever visited a website
with a recipe on it. The blogger it sounds like
me at the beginning of the show. They tell you
all about their life before they get to the recipe. Oh,
I love the fluffiness of eggs in this pasta. I'm like,
just give me the recipe. And you know, they don't
get to the recipe till the final end of the
page because they want you to scroll down and listen

(01:45:24):
and you know, look at the ads and all that
stuff and then follow them on Instagram whatever. So this
app called recipe Keeper, which is available for iOS and Android,
will will actually go through and just find the actual
recipe and put it into this app and bookmarket for you.
And it's really really cool. And then it puts into categories.
It is pretty incredible. I have two recipes saved in here,

(01:45:48):
and I should probably save some more. But anyway, I
think that if you're liking ever Note and it's working
for you, Marla, just continue to use it. Because I've
tried every program in the world and they all have
pros and cons. Ever No is still the best overall
combination of features. The only thing I really have a
problem with is that it's very expensive one hundred and

(01:46:08):
thirty bucks a year, and it's very proprietary. A lot
of these new apps like Obsidian and Notion and all
these other apps are in what's the other one I
was using Joplin. They all keep your notes in a
format that is much more exportable, and ever No not
so much. Let's see Mike says iPhone pop up. I

(01:46:29):
hope you had a great weekend. I have an iPhone question.
I have an iPhone, my wife has an iPhone. When
I play a podcast or music on my iPhone, I
get the little box on my lock screen. However, the
box also takes over the lock screen on my wife's phone.
We're on the same Wi Fi network, but she has
a different Apple ID. Is this some sort of setting
and can I shut it off. It only happens when
we're in the same room. If my wife goes upstairs,

(01:46:51):
she gets her lock screen back to normal. Mike, I'm
not really sure if this is an Apple thing. I
think it might be a Spotify thing. If you're both
shit aring a Spotify account, or if you're both using Spotify,
it allows you to control that Spotify from different devices.
That could be what's happening. But I don't know if
that happens with Apple Music, so I need a little

(01:47:13):
bit more information about what that is, what that's doing.
But the fact that you said you're on the same
Wi Fi network is a big clue because that definitely
does some apps do take advantage of that and share
the information among the devices on that network, So I
probably need a little bit more information about that. The

(01:47:34):
different Apple idea is smart because I know a lot
of people share Apple ideas, especially with their kids' phones,
and next thing you know, you're getting the same text
messages on all the different devices, which I don't like.
Let's see Steven says, Hey, Rich, I love the show,
and I can surprisingly say I like it as much
as Leo's. You're doing a terrific job. Oh thank you.
As far as note taking, I agree that Apple Notes

(01:47:56):
is perfect, almost perfect. However, I want to recommend crap.
It's more like an Apple like version of Notion. It's
very feature rich. It looks great. I've been using Apple
Notes and it has sketches which I don't understand. Yes,
I think that's good too. Let's see. Oh my gosh,
so many let's see. Okay, let's just get to the

(01:48:17):
Twitter feedback because I know you're all waiting for it. Angela.
You know I went off about Twitter earlier. X Angela says, hey, Rich,
listening to you today, and I agree, what's the big deal.
I've got an iPhone and it's weird for sure. About
the icon on the screen, Angela. Chris says, thank you
for the little rant on the Twitter name change. Exactly,

(01:48:37):
no big deal. People need to get over it. Love
what you do. Pete says, your spastic Twitter rant this
morning reminds me why I miss Leo so much. KFI
weekends were much more enjoyable with him. Well, looks like
we lost the listener today. Sorry Pete, but you know
I mean I got a call spade A spade. Tina says,

(01:48:57):
I listened to you every weekend, and you always have
a demeanor. Today you are very aggressive. Maybe a nap
would help. FYI, I really like how your show. I
really like how your show is packed with info compared
to the the guy you replaced, And James says, some
of us listen to the show to hear the callers
in big caps with everyday questions that we may have

(01:49:19):
had in the past, or are currently having, or have
had in the future. But you spend the first twenty
minutes giving travel info on South Korea and two more
very long promotional interviews on Samsung. I guess we listeners
have different expectations of the program. Well, James, it is
a different program. It is my program. It's called rich
on Tech, and it is the information that I think

(01:49:41):
you should know. So I hope you continue to listen.
I will continue to do the interviews I think are pertinent,
the news I think is pertinent, and the callers I
think are pertinent, including your feedback. Not everyone gives the
negative feedback too. My name is rich Dedmiel. Thanks so
much for listening. That's gonna do it. Check out the
show notes rich on Tech dot tv next week. Kimber

(01:50:01):
streams of Wirecutter. We'll talk about the best chromebooks and
PCs for under five hundred dollars and under a thousand.
You can find me on social media. I am at
rich on tech. My name is Rich Damiro. Thanks, thanks
so much for listening. I'll talk to you real soon
