Amazon's $100 tablet vs iPad

five in Los Angeles, California, United States, North America. The World, Earth, the galaxy? What galaxy are we in? Do we have a name for the galaxy? I'm sure we do. I should probably know that. Oh my gosh, welcome to the show. I know it's been a bit since I've done a podcast, and I officially apologized for that. But it's just one of these things where I think the last time I was in a hotel room in New York City, and then I was in Tokyo and then I don't you know.

It's just it's a lot sometimes. So I do appreciate Milky Way Galaxy. Oh is that what we're in the Milky Way. Okay, is that the Milky Way? I thought that was a candy bar. It is a good candy bar, but anyway, so I guess we're in the Milky Way Galaxy. Speaking of galaxies, I was in Japan. In case you haven't seen any of my stories on KTLA lately, they've

all been sort of international in scope. Was in Japan for ce Tech twenty twenty two, which is sort of their version of CS, which is also coming up very soon in Las Vegas, which I can't believe that always marks a whole nother year. But Japan se Tech twenty twenty two. They do this show every year. It's like kind of their version of CS, but it's more geared towards it used to be electronic. Now it's more towards

like tech that's going to change our lives. So that was the first time they were in person in three years, and you know, I got the opportunity they brought me over there. It was so fantastic to just be back in Tokyo in Japan. It just reopened about a week before I was there, and it was so cool. I love Japan. I think it is such an amazing place, the culture, the people, the technology there they are. They have been so far ahead. I've been going there now

for like ten years. They've been They've been far ahead for ten years. I mean, it's just the way that they embraced payments and just their whole like society is so like futuristic, even all these years later. It's really quite remarkable. So I took this airline over there called zip Aar, which full disclosure, they did provide me with a seat to sort of review them and experience it,

and it's just it was so great. I was very concerned about taking this airline because I typically make the same airline everywhere, and to try a different one, especially one that's built as sort of a low cost carrier and no frills carrier, I admit I was a little

bit hesitant. I was like, should I do this? And you know, they gave me this live flat seat, which you know is typically you know, it's interesting because you know they build themselves as a low cost carrier and if you think I have a live flat seat, oh okay, it's like first class business class it is, but only

in the seat. And this was very unique to me to everything you wanted to do, you had to pay, so if you wanted to choose your seat in advance, if checking luggage costs money, like a blanket cost money, a pillow cost money, your meal cost money, which is so wild when you think about buying a seat like that, like a lie flat seat. So that was really interesting. They also have economy class seats, which was fine too. Brand new plane seven eighty seven Dreamliner, which is one

of my my favorite plane. I know I travel enough where I have a favorite plane, and it sounds so like, oh, excuse me, you have a favorite plane, You have a favorite airliner you like to travel on. I do, so I'll admit it. It's the plane that I seek out on my flights to Newark when I fly back home, and it's just you know, you can't fly a Dreamliner everywhere. But it's funny because they used to not fly them domestically, like across the country, and now they do onun United,

which is really cool. Someone's asking do you have to pay to use the lavatory? You do not have to pay. I actually wondered about that. No, but that was Another interesting thing is that the front section of the plane, which typically if you fly traditional airliner. You know, the first class or the business class section has their own, you know, toilets, and this was just the same bathrooms

for everyone. So and then of course Nick is asking the question that I imagine people would wonder wonder, is what's your favorite airline. I don't know if I have a favorite, but I have a regular airline. I fly as United because they used to be Continental back in the day where I'm from in Newark, and back in the day you had your choice for direct flight from lax to New Jersey was only Continental, and so I

would always fly them. My wife always flied United growing up in Los Angeles, and I was like United, I've never flown United. I don't even know what United is. And then those airlines merged to become United with the Continental logo, and my wife and I got married. So I thought it was so cool that, like, you know, my wife and I merged living on the two coasts and these two airlines. You know, maybe I'm telling you too much. I don't know. This is the problem with

this podcast. I just start talking and talking and talking. Anyway, Zip Air was awesome. It was clean, it was friendly, it was smooth, it was great. You just have to be prepared to pay for all the extra things along the way. In fact, on my way back, I've never experienced this before in my life. They weighed my carry on and they told me that I had to put stuff if I didn't want to pay extra, I had to put stuff from carry on into my checked luggage,

which I was like sitting there, wait what? And so they said, yeah, it's like whatever, nine point three kilograms and I needed I don't know if that's it could be wrong. I don't know what the kilogram could be, like a thousand pounds, I don't know. Whatever it was. It was like a tiny bit over. And they said, oh, can you put that in your check luggage? And I said really, And so I took out this little bag

of cables I had. I put it in my check luggage and they said, and by the way, if you don't want to pay anything more, don't shop at duty free. And I was like, wait what. So I ended up taking a chance and I went all out on duty free and bought all kinds of stuff and I was just like, you know, I'll pay the extra fifty dollars to check this or to carry on this luggage. They didn't actually ask me, so it was fine, but I think they could do that, but I had never seen

that before. I know, with like international flights, check luggage, definitely you don't get as much for checked and carry on as you would like domestically. But I just was like, WHOA. I really was taken aback by that and super Scientific, what's up Danny? Danny says that happened to me in Europe a lot on connecting flights. By the way, follow super Scientific if you want awesome camera comparisons of the

latest smartphones. He always does an awesome job from his home base in I think it's like Orlando, Florida because he's always going to Disney World to do his camera comparison. So yeah, anyway, zip Air highly recommended if you want to fly from the West Coast to Tokyo. And the other thing to know is that that first class or business class or live flat seat that I had was you know, it averages about two thousand dollars when realistically to fly that seat to Japan is like closer to

five to seven thousand dollars on a traditional airline. So that's what drew me to that airline. I was like wait, how is this so cheap? And so that's when I gave him a call to see what the deal was, and then the the what's the other thing? The economy seats are also going to be cheap as well on the back. So if you don't really care about a lot of frilly stuff on a flight and you just want a comfortable, nice flight over there, just you know,

save the money for spending in Tokyo. I already mentioned how amazing Tokyo is the friendly people see tech. One thing I learned, and this is a thing like, yes I am. I am a tech guy, and I am always learning just like you are. Like I don't know everything in this world. If I did, I would probably be a lot richer of a person, right, So I am learning as I go along, and that's why I test out products. I try things. I really try to like, you know, just just experience things like a regular person

would and report back to you. And so I don't have all the answers up front, And so before my flight, you know, I download a bunch of apps and things to test out. But one of the things I learned while I was over there is that Wi Fi calling you can turn this on on your phone and you can text, and you can also make phone calls through a Wi Fi work without triggering any international roaming fees from your your carrier. Here in the US, I was

not aware of that. So I did not know this, and so when I was in Rome, for example, I turned off my Verizon simcard completely because I want you to avoid all of the like the daily ten dollars fees or whatever. And I bought an eSIM. But the problem is when you buy a data only eSIM, you don't have access to your standard text messages and phone calls that may come in. And so this actually came into play in Tokyo because my wife was like, Hey, I just logged into a website. Can you tell me

the two factor authentication code that was texted to? And I said, I don't know that. I'm not going to get that code for a week. And anyway, I was hanging out with this guy Michael, who is a tech producer for he does like freelance tech stuff, and he was like, you know, you can just turn on your Wi Fi calling and I was like, wait what And sure enough, all I turn on my Wi Fi calling and all of my tech started coming in my standard phone number without triggering any fees, and I was like, wait,

this is groundbreaking. Anyway, I share that with you because I think the perfect way to do it now is to turn on your Wi Fi calling, turn off data roaming on your traditional plan if it doesn't include any international text, and then get a local SIM. I use an app called aerlo Ai r Alo. I bought three sims from them when I was in Japan. Two worked perfectly, one did not, and I was actually kind of annoyed with them because I said, hey, can you refund me?

And they said no, we don't give refunds, like if it's you know, if it's not our problem. I was like, oh, I don't. How do I decide if it's your problem? I mean I can't. I've activated four of your sims. All of them worked except for this one, so I don't know, Like I and I tried everything, all their little apns and all these settings you had to change, which the average person would not know how to do or not want to do, and the two So bottom line, I bought three SIM cards when I was in Japan.

One was a local japan simcard. I think it was called Moshi mosh or moshimoshi, which I think roughly means like hello in Japanese. And then two of them I ended up buying that were for Asia in general. So the two that were for Asia worked perfectly. The local Japan sim did not work and I could not get it to work, and it was on an Android, so maybe that had something to do with it. iPhone is a little bit easier with the E sims. But anyway, Okay,

that's all my Japan stuff. Let's uh if you have any questions about Japan, let me know in the comments. I am streaming on Instagram right now. Oh, let's see O Dealisa says favorite media during the flight movies, music books, good question. I was actually testing out the Amazon Fire tablet on my flight, which I'll talk about later in the show. But I watched I watched a movie Gremlins, which obviously old movie, and it held up. I thought it was really scary, by the way, but great movie.

And then I also watched this show on Hulu called Reboot, which I feel like not everyone would like that show, but since I live in Hollywood and I kind of understand that whole Hollywood world, I thought it was hilarious, and I guess maybe I don't know if it's getting a lot of press or a lot of publicity, but I thought it was really really funny, and so I watched, like I just kind of binge watched that. I still

have a couple episodes to go. And then the book I was reading, I know, it's kind of funny, but it's it was Kelly Rippa's autobiography, I guess, or short stories whatever. I was more interested in the in the Regis stories from that show because I always liked Regis growing up, and so I just was curious what she had to say about him. Spoiler as arts, she didn't. She didn't have very nice things to say about him. So that kind of threw me for a loop. Anyway,

thanks for the badge, Stephanie. Thanks for buying a badge. That's cool. The fourteen is trash over Apple. I don't know what that means. Rich How much do you like the new iPad M chip? I have not tested the new iPad, but the M chips are amazing, so people really really like those. All right, let's get to the first question of the week. Are the first story of

the week. I'm not gonna spend a whole lot of time on this because this sort of gets into the realm of like celebrity tabloid reporting with this whole Elon Musk and Twitter stuff. There's so many hot takes flying around about this whole Elon Musk buying Twitter. But I'm going to sort of stick to like what's happening. Elon Musk has purchased Twitter, and yes, he has now taken over the company. Yes, it was sort of an unusual thing.

It was going to happen, It wasn't going to happen, but he tweeted yesterday he brought a kitchen sink or a sink into Twitter and he said, you know, I purchased Twitter. Let that sink in. It's you know, kind of cheesy, corny, but you know, we'll see a Twitter.

I've said this before. Twitter is kind of the perfect social network because what I love is that just because I have a Twitter account, anyone in the world can get in touch with me, and you know, with email and stuff like that, but it's like a public way that like if you want to, you know, tweet me, you can and I may or may not see that tweet, depending on you know, whatever happens with Twitter, and and

you know, when I'm looking and this and that. But like that's kind of cool, the fact that I can tweet a celebrity and they may see my tweet. Now, if you're a celebrity, you're getting a ton of tweets.

You probably don't, but you never know. Uh So I always and by the way, the way Twitter does things where it's available on all platforms where you can put video on there, you can put pictures, you can see stuff without logging in on like Instagram, where they only give you a couple of times, or you can look at stuff before they say, oh sorry, you gotta log

in Facebook same way. So Twitter, I thought, has always been sort of a really they don't they don't mess with like links and stuff like, whereas Instagram you can't really open up a link. You can't be you know. It's just it's different. And I love Instagram, don't get me wrong, But Twitter I've always loved. It's just it's not a thing that's you used by a lot of quote unquote regular people, you know what I mean. Like,

it's not the average person is not using Twitter. And so maybe now with Elon taking over, maybe they will I don't know. A lot of people are saying they're gonna leave Twitter because they don't like the way Elon does things or whatever. But he's already gotten rid of the top folks at Twitter, so that's those changes are

already in progress. He tweeted the bird is freed, so a reference to a couple things, maybe the fact that he feels like Twitter needs to be more of an open place for people to, you know, voice their opinions. We'll see what happens there now. Elon runs Tesla, he run SpaceX, he runs Twitter, big trifecta of companies. You know. Did he over pay for Twitter? I don't know how much.

Did he pay forty four billion dollars? I don't know what the end price was, but all tech stocks have taken a nose dive lately, and so whatever Twitter was worth when he first gave that offer, is it worth that same amount right now with today's situation. I'm not sure. But at the bottom line for me is that, yes, I will stay on Twitter. I'm not going anywhere. I've always used Twitter in sort of a different way than

I have, say Instagram or Facebook. It's always been much more of an inside baseball kind of place where I'm on there with other tech people and journalists and stuff like that. We'll see. All right, let's get to the first question of the day. Chris asks just a basic question. I have Facebook and I use it for my business, but I didn't download Messenger on my phone, so I have to go on my computer, log in and view messages there, which can take a while for me to

get back to the office. My question is, is Messenger a safe app to download to my phone? Chris, Yes, I believe that that Messenger is a safe app to download your phone. I know there's a lot of talk about Facebook and listening and you know, scooping up all your personal data and this and that. But the way the iPhone is configured, and your email says sent from my iPhone, the way the iPhone has configured is that you get to decide the permissions that you give an app.

So when you are downloading Messenger on your phone, my advice is be very aware of the permissions that it asks for. It may ask to track you across other apps. Say no to that, if you don't like that. It may ask for access to your microphone, say no to that. If you don't want that. It may ask for access to your location, Say no if it asks for that. It may ask for access to your camera, say no

if you don't want that. If you're just using Messenger, it sounds like you're running a business and you're using Messenger to reply to your customers. If you just want to be able to text with them back and forth and get those immediate notifications on your phone when someone texts you, absolutely download Messenger. Millions upon millions of people use it. People have their opinions on Facebook, just like Twitter.

There's a lot of hot takes going on out there, but the reality is Facebook and Messenger are very very good tools for connecting with people. And especially if you run a business and people are messaging you through there, go for it. I think you'll be just fine. All right, let's get to the next story of the week. And I feel like this is just something that it's like it should be a regular segment, like what streaming service prices are going up this week? This week it is

Apple and also YouTube. So YouTube raise the price of its YouTube Premium Family Plan. It's now like twenty three dollars a month or something like that. Used to be eighteen, So yeah, like five dollars extra, and I subscribe to that, and it's a big price increase. I'll probably keep it because I do like no ads on YouTube, but you know, it's one of those things that that's like a that's now I think the most expensive streaming service I have

used to be Netflix. Now it's that. Actually, Netflix and Hulu are now both twenty dollars a month for me, I'm the higher plans. I guess Hulu is includes Disney Hulu and ESPN Plus whatever that is. But anyway, Apple Music is also going up, and Apple TV Plus and the Apple One bundle, which I'm also subscribed to. So Apple Music is now going up to uh ten ninety nine a month, it used to be nine ninety nine.

The Family Plan is going up by two dollars a month to sixteen ninety nine, Apple TV Plus going up to six ninety nine a month, up from five dollars, and then Apple One is going up to It's going up by two dollars a month for each plan. And I'm on the Premiere Plan, which is thirty bucks a month, so now that's thirty two ninety five, So yeah, two dollars extra. So My point is, it's pretty wild that all of these services are going up. Now if you

add everything up that's gone up in the past six months. Sure, it may only add up to twenty more dollars a month, but that's still twenty dollars a month. And you do that over a year, that's twelve times two, two hundred and forty dollars a year. You do that over five years, you know, you're talking over one thousand dollars. And by the way, in the next five years, these prices are gonna go up more. So it's I get it. It's little incremental upgrades or updates to these prices, but over

time it just creeps and creeps and creeps. And this is the problem that people had with cable television. They said, oh my gosh, my bill creeps and creeps and creeps. Every year, I get this notice that it's going up by a couple of dollars. And now we're seeing the same exact thing happened with streaming services. The free ride is over, folks. The saving money by having you know,

Netflix versus a cable package, it's all the same. Now you're paying eighty eighty bucks a month for your streaming services in just a different way because they're all parsed out among different you know, providers versus just paying that one bill to your cable company. And I'll never forget when I was subscribed to AT and T for everything with my phone, my internet, and my cable direct TV,

and my bill was like over three hundred dollars. And when I you know, they finally consolidated, they're like, oh, do you want us to consolidate all your bills? I'm like sure, and I get my bill and I'm like, whoa, this is way. I've never seen all these things together. Stop it. And I actual I switched out my services because I didn't like seeing them all on one bill because it just three hundred dollars just seemed like so much.

But the reality is when you add up your cell phone bill, your internet bill, which mine just went up ten dollars a month, and your streaming services, you're probably paying close to three hundred dollars a month no matter you know how you're doing it, whether you have you know, a couple people, like if you have a family like mine with four people in it, you know you got a couple of lines here, a couple things it is.

It's getting real, folks, and it's it's pretty much what we were looking at back in the day, except if you remember, the price of the triple play back in the day was with cable, internet and phone was about ninety bucks or about one hundred dollars, i'd say, And so for a long time that was kind of like the average price for like those three services. And now, of course you know it didn't include the wireless phone, but you know, include a phone line, which nobody needed.

By the way, it was cheaper to have the phone line with the triple play than it was to not have a phone line. Like I remember calling the cable company and they would say, oh, you got to keep the phone line. It's it's cheaper to have the phone line. Otherwise you have to pay extra. Okay, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot says, Spectrum charges a sixteen dollars ninety seven fee for broadcasting taxes.

That is crazy. Wow, that is crazy. So you know, this is the other thing that these companies they charge, you know, these administration fees, and they raise the administration fees and it's just you know, it's one of those things that it's just not fun when fees go up, it's not fun. Oh there's Michael. Michael says, greetings from Park City. Michael was the guy I was telling you about.

He just joined the Instagram chat. He was the guy I was telling you about was hanging out with in Japan, and he was the one who told me, you know, you can just turn on Wi Fi calling and get your texts. And I was like, what, how did I not know that? All right, let's get to the next question. Paul says, have you heard about these things called signal tech? I'm wondering if it's legit or an internet scam thing, or can I even buy this at bet spy And

let's see, let's look up what signal tech is. It is a signal booster, and it says it can eliminate dead spots and rooms with weak Wi Fi coverage with signal tech. And it's got a whole bunch of people on there that say it works amazingly. And then it says get yours now, And there's a little pop up that says Michael just bought one in Missouri. Oh. Now, it says stock is extremely limited, sell out risk high what oh and you could buy two oh and another

person just bought one. Oh same guy, Paul and Jackson, Mississippi, two signal boosters for seventy dollars thirty five dollars each plus free shipping. Oh Oscar and San Diego just bought one thirty seven minutes ago. Okay, let me tell you about these websites. So nothing against signal Tech. I don't know if this product works well or not, but the way it's presented, the way that it is on this website, I don't like, and it raises a major red flag

to me. I am I'm not going to be forced into buying something online because of a ticking clock, which, by the way, I think Amazon does that too with their Lightning deals. So yeah, I mean it's like the QVC model. You know, it's like these things are selling out, these things are going you got to buy this right now. I like to do my research. I like to talk to people. I like to see kind of like what

people are saying about stuff before I buy. If you see an ad on Instagram, it brings you to a website where there's a countdown clock and it says it's selling out soon, and there's one page that sort of has everything on it like the entire like check out process is all on one page. To me, those are all big red flags. And number one, I would always look for the return instructions, like what is the return policy? Okay, so I'm looking for return policy. I don't see that.

I'm looking for an address, a physical address. I don't. Let's see if do they have a physical address? Oh, San Diego? Okay, Bizarre Innovations. Let's see what that is. Bizarre innovations leading direct to consumer development company. So it looks like it's one of those like as seen on TV companies. So okay, yeah, they have a whole bunch of stuff signal tech. I wear glow birds. I mean, look, it's probably not the worst thing in the world, but I think that you can probably just get this from

best Buy. And so what I would recommend is go with a product that is I don't really recommend signal boosters in general, but I if you need one, if you don't want to go with a new mesh, you know, Wi Fi router and all that stuff, then if you want to go with a booster and try that, I don't think they boost the signal very well. But you know, with today's gadgets whatever. It just doesn't work as well as it used to. But if you're going to get one, I would recommend one from tp link. Tp Link makes

a lot of networking products. I think they're pretty good and they're very reasonable. They make one the Wi Fi. They make a whole bunch of Wi Fi range extenders. Pick one that you like and go with it. I'm looking at this popular one on Amazon. It is twenty two dollars and ninety nine cents, so about the same price, maybe a little bit cheaper. Amazon Limited time offer says it covers up to twelve hundred square feet to increase

your boost of your Wi Fi signal. So again, I just I get a lot of emails from people that they send me these products they get on as ads on Instagram and Facebook or any sort of social media, and I can always tell it's the same kind of website. It's the same website that just tries to force you to buy real quick, and it's not always the best product out there. So there you go. All right, let's get to the next story. Galaxy S twenty two can now take pictures of the stars, and so this is

kind of cool. Astrophotography is a feature that is built into the pixel from Google and it's something that the other phones have really not done. The Samsungs have done pictures of the moon, but you know, when it comes to the stars, they don't necessarily. But now they added the ability to take photos of the stars. So they call it astro photography. Astro photo they call it. And this is it's interesting because they did this not with

a software update, but by downloading an app. So you download what's called the Expert Raw app, and this is in the Samsung I know it's confusing. On Samsung sou they have Google Play, but then they also have their own Galaxy App Store. So you download this Expert Raw app in the Galaxy App Store and then you install it and it adds extra things to your camera. And then there's also another app called Camera Assistant, which you don't need to get, but if you want extra features,

you can do that too. So anyway, once you install this Expert Raw, you can point your phone at the sky and it will take pictures of the stars. It will hold the phone, it will hold the exposure for anywhere between like four and I think ten minutes, which ten minutes is wild. I tried this the other night. By the way, I have too much light where I live, so I can't really get a good photo, but it

definitely you know, it worked. And the coolest thing about Samsung's implementation of this versus Google is that on Samsung you've got an overlay of a sky guide. So I don't know if you've downloaded one of those apps that lets you see the stars in the sky, but Samsung just built that into the actual expert Raw app. So when you aim this up at the sky, you can see an overlay of the constellations and the stars, which I thought was really really cool, so you can take

the pictures you want of the stars you want. Anyway, check it out Expert Raw if you have an S twenty two series. They're also they have this new Camera Assistant app which adds new features to the camera, which auto HDR. You can turn that on or off now soften pictures. You can turn on auto lens switching. You can turn off video recording and photo mode. You can turn off number of pictures you take after timer. You can change you can make the shutter faster. You can

select tell it takes for the camera app. The previous screen to time out, and you can enable a clean preview on HDMI display, So no menuser buttons when you connect to an HDMI output. And again those are all features that are really aimed towards someone that's using the Samsung Galaxy phones as a you know, as a real pro camera. And so yeah, and folks are asking on the Instagram, not on iPhone. No iPhone has no ability.

Shouldn't say no ability iPhone? Can you know? It won't take really great pictures of the night sky, but it will do it. It's just not as good as what the pixel can do or what the s twenty two can now do, so check it out. Always cool when they add ability for these phones to do things just with a software update, which is kind of the way the world now, all right. Next question comes from Gene Gene says, can you suggest some good free password managers

for both iOS and Android. I used UPM, but the developer no longer supports it, although he's kept the app open. I'd expect to use Excel, but it's not secure. Thanks gene Gene. I agree, do not use Excel, although if that's your only way of keeping track of passwords, it's better than nothing. But I would not not recommend that. I would recommend a secured password manager for sure, and definitely don't use the same password over and over for

any website. Use a complex password that is I would say at least eleven characters minimum, maybe twelve, I don't know. Twelve to sixteen is probably the sweet spot for something that's that's uncrackable by a lot of systems UPM I'm not familiar with. But here's what I recommend when it

comes to password managers. So if you are just on iOS, so if everything is iOS your computer and you know, you're using Safari on your computer, and you're using iOS on your phone, you know, and Safari on your phone, go ahead and just use apples built in password manager, which I think is called like iCloud keychain. So that's super sick bolt, super easy. You can use that. Uh. If you want something that is cross platform that is free, I would recommend Bitwarden. They are sort of an open

source company. They are I don't if they're open source, but they're they're anyway, it's is it open source? It might be I think it is open source. Actually, yeah, it is open source. So that means that other people can kind of look at the code behind the password manager and you know, make sure that it's good and make sure that it's secure, and so that's really good. And they have a free fee. They have a completely

free version. Yes, you don't get access to all of the features of the paid version, but it's enough for like, you know, some people that just need something very simple to get by. And of course it's a freemium model,

so eventually they want you to use it. And then you run up into a wall and say, ah, it'd be really nice if I have this feature, and they say, well, for a couple bucks a month, you can have that feature, and you go, oh, where if you've been all my life and then now you convert to a paying customer. That's what freemium means. Otherwise, I like dash Lane for a full featured but very expensive password manager. I think they do a really nice job of you know, updating

their apps. They have like a VPN that's included, there's a couple of features like very it's a very premium password manager and you're gonna pay. I think it's like fifty sixty bucks a year for that password manager. So we did a story with them a couple of years ago. It was very impressed, and so I like them as well. But I think for a lot of people, if you are using Chrome on your desktop computer and an iPhone, you can use Google's password manager. If you don't mind Google,

you know, you don't have something against Google. They just change their password manager on Chrome to work natively across the entire iPhone ecosystem, so not just in Chrome like you used to work in Chrome, but now their passwords will fill across any app. And so this is a free service. You know, it's kind of cool because it works on your you know, for me personally, if I'm using an iPhone and I'm also using Chrome on my desktop,

i could switch to this and use this. But it's one of those things where you have to really like Google because you're kind of putting a lot into Google. You can always export your passwords from any of these services and start with a new one, but it's kind of a little bit of a process. So but that's what i'd recommend. So if you want something completely free,

cross platform independent, I'd go with Bitwarden. If you want something that's dependent on an operating system and your only Apple products, I would go with iCloud Keychain Manager or keychain whatever, it's called Cloud Keychain. And then if you want something that is sort of also independent but priceier in premium, I'd go with dash Lane. And if you want something that is it works across platforms, but it's still put out by a big company like Google, you

can go with Google's password manager. Those are some great options. Whatever you do, definitely use a password manager. I highly recommend it. Do not use the same password for various websites. Make sure that you use two factor authen indication when you can, and just be very vigilant about passwords because I know it's a pain. Believe me, When I sign up for a website and I have to go through that process of you know, signing up with a unique password,

it is a pain. It takes longer than just clicking log in with Google or Apple or any of those things, which I don't recommend doing because I don't think all your login should be should be linked to another website, but I just I get it. It takes a long time. It's annoying. It takes a long time to retrieve the password, It takes a long time to copy and baste, it

but just please do it. I'm telling you, if there's a breach of a website and a password gets out there and it's something simple that can be used across other websites, you don't want that to happen to you. So, you know, just just take the extra three seconds to use a password manager and to really really just embrace it, and you'll be a happier, safer, more secure person. All right. Next story up. Apple announces they had a bunch of new products this weekend, a bunch of new software as well.

So let's see what do they do. They released mac os Ventura, they released the iPad os I think it's I don't know whatever they're up to on the iPad, and then a couple of new products, including a new iPad was it two new iPads, and also new Apple TV. So this is kind of like, you know, the end of the year where they just kind of like dump a lot of stuff on us, like a, here's the rest of our stuff, you know, after the iPhone, and it's all stuff that people like and buy and purchase,

and the software is great. But at the same time, I think that you know, these are sort of the lesser announcements towards the end of the year. You know, most people buy an Apple TV if they even get an Apple TV, because it's kind of expensive and they don't replace it for five, you know, five years. iPad is one of those things when you need one, you just kind of go in and see, like, okay, here's the price points, what do I need, and you make

your purchase decision. It's not like a lot of people are waiting for these products to come out so they can upgrade, right, and then the software is great. I mean, the iPad software Stage Manager is one of the big new features, but it kind of got a lukewarm reception.

And then macOS Ventura. It's like, I've gotten to the point and I'm a tech person and I love new technology and I love new software, but I've gotten to the point where I'm like, all right, Apple, you know, I just got used to the current macOS, which I can't even tell you the name of it. Let's see what it's called, Monterey. So I'm just getting used to

mac Os Monterey. Now you're springing Ventura on me, and it's like, do I really need anything new on my desktop unless it's gonna change the way I compute, or make my Gmail faster, which is super slow on Chrome. You know, we'll see or my battery life better anyway. So the thing I think is important is the Apple TV four K so new model with a new chip inside the A fifteen Bionic. It's got support for HDR ten plus, It's got a new or an updated series remote. Oh,

I didn't know I had an updated remote. So faster performance. Okay, I mean my TV works just fine. But the interesting thing is that the actual physical Apple TV is thinner, it's lighter, it's it's fanless for the first time, which is kind of cool. Used to have this big fan on the bottom. Uses thirty percent less power than the last generation. It's got HDR. Oh, I see the serial remote has USB c now instead of USB lightning. Okay,

that's interesting. Comes in a sixty four gigabyte configuration for Wi Fi for one hundred and twenty nine dollars. One hundred and twenty eight gigabyte configuration has an Ethernet port and thread networking. They'll arrive on November fourth, that's a Friday. Again. Something that you know. Number one, I rarely get questions

about Apple TV. I think that most most people that I talk with want either Roku or the Fire TV sticks because they're cheap, and Apple TV is something that you want to get if you want something that's a bit more premium, or you're in that Apple ecosystem and you know, you just want all things Apple and it's nice. I mean, look, if you have an Apple TV and you have AirPods, it's amazing. You sit on your couch and you know, just watch a show in total peace

without disturbing anyone around you. You also have airplay, you know, if you're using Eyecloud, you can see your pictures on there. The apps are robust, but you can do a lot of the same things with Roku. Don't get me wrong. You can plug headphones into the Roku remote for many years, so I thought it was really cool. And Fire TV lets you link up headphones with Bluetooth too, So it's not like you can't do these things. It's just more

of like a it's more of an ecosystem play. If you're getting an Apple TV, you want all things Apple in your life, which you know, fine, that's that's basically it. I haven't tested it, so I will tell you more once I test the Apple TV to see Ronzie says, does Apple make iPhones last up to two years intentionally so customers by the next level, No, I would actually

disagree with that. I think that as opposed to Android phones, which I feel like nowadays they've gotten better for sure, But you know, you buy an Android phone, like an iPhone can last like five years, like legitimately the software and the hardware, I mean, the camera, like iPhones last on average, people are now spending over three years with them before they upgrade. It used to be a yearly upgrade cycle, and then it got a little bit longer to two years. Now we're up to I think, you know,

thirty eight months or something like that. So I think the iPhone is actually when you do the price of the iPhone, I get that it's expensive, but when you parse that out over the amount of years that that phone can last, it is quite a good deal. And by the way, not just how long it lasts, but

the resale value of that iPhone. So if you look at the resale value of any Android, you know, get the best Samsung Galaxy S twenty two Ultra, and look at that resale price a year later from anyone besides Samsung. That's trying to get you to upgrade to a new phone.

It's not very good. Whereas the iPhone. You can go on Facebook today and post to your family and friends and say, hey, I'm selling my iPhone and someone will purchase that phone for a family member that needs one at a discounted price, or you can sell it a million other ways. So I really disagree with the fact that you know, yes, I get it. The software. You know, people say it slows down. It does, like I've noticed that on my phone, But it's not the software that's

slowing down. It's these apps. Have you noticed how big apps are getting and how processor intense they've gotten over the years. It used to be, you know, Instagram, Facebook, they were like ten megabyte apps. Now you're talking. You look to download some of these apps are like three hundred megabytes. You're like, wait what I mean? Because think something like Instagram. If you look at it or TikTok, there's entire video editing systems built into that app. So

it's not just an app for posting pictures. It is now become an app that helps you create an entire video edited reel that is no easy feet and it's just like that with all these other apps. It's like they're doing so much. So I know it's easy to make fun of Apple, and it's easy to, you know, talk about how expensive everything is. But I see things

a different way. I think that you can get a lot of use out of these phones in a in a big way for many, many years, and if you like to upgrade every year, sure it could be expensive. Phil says, I don't understand the need for an Apple TV box when it's an app. That's a good, very good question. That's and I agree. I think it's very confusing because Apple decided to call Apple TV plus Apple TV plus, and then you have the Apple TV app that runs Apple TV plus, and then you also have

an Apple TV box. Let's break it down. The Apple TV box is a streaming device that runs Apple TV Apple TV plus, and it also runs any other streaming app or any other Apple or any other app in the Apple App Store for that matter, that works on that TV. So that is a physical device. The Apple Apple TV is an app that lives on a kdub twenty one seventy five. So some still anti Apple too much money, okay. Apple TV is an app that lives on the iPhone and on the Apple TV that is

more of a curated destination for streaming. So Apple TV has a bunch of different products inside of it, so it may have the Stars Network, it may have HBO. You know. It also helps you figure out what's streaming on different services, and that's a whole nother thing. And by the way, Apple does a really good job on that. The notable exception is Netflix. Netflix is not integrated with

Apple TV the app. So if you're looking, like, you know, Apple TV the app, you can go on there and it'll say like, oh, here's a whole bunch of cool Halloween movies that are streaming. Well, that's great, but it's never going to show you anything else on Netflix because Apple and Netflix are like this, you know, they're front of mees, just like Apple and every other company at this point for some reason. What's the reason for that, Apple,

Let's see. And then Apple TV Plus is a streaming service, and so Apple TV Plus is a streaming service that you can pay for that has its own content. And Brian Rose eighty bought a badge. Thank you so much, Brian for buying that badge. That's always fun. I don't know exactly what the badges mean. I think they benefit me in some way, but it's like one of those things. At the end of the month will be like people will be like our Facebook will be like, hey, these

people bought you badges. George says, I'm doing a course on swift with Swift with Apple, and it says apps should be made with size and power concern, but the apps are actually the opposite. Yes, that is true. I get it. And I'm not a developer of an app, so I'm sure there's something in the idea of you know, a bigger app is probably less effort to code because

you just kind of keep adding code to it. But the best apps are probably the leanest apps that are you know, you code with less and I guess it takes up less you know, space and resources. But I get it. All this stuff, it all comes down to money, all right. Do we have another question? I saw someone else bought a badge. Actually Liz bought a badge. Oh, I don't know. Two hearts that must be needed even better badge, So thank you? I need like, do I

have like applause? Let me see what I have here? Hello? What's that? I think that was like a viewer question like on tape. Okay, hold on, okay, there we go. Is that when you buy a badge, I give you that I need a badge like a Okay, that was another thing. Okay, so I don't have anything. This is I guess that's the badge. I need like an applause for the badge. So thank you. All right, let's get

to the next question of the podcast. Let's see. Uh, Janice says, oh, Robert says, you know what, I'll okay, let's do Robert's question. Good morning, rich I enjoy the knowledge I received from your rich on Tech. I was just wondering how come you never review the Samsung tablets as you have done for the new Amazon kindle. I feel that some of the segments are very narrow with some bias, which I guess is somewhat expected. You do great justice to the Samsung line of phones, however, never

or very anemic reviews of their tablets. Robert sent from my Verizon Samsung Galaxy smartphone get outlook for Android. Okay, oh, hey, Seuss just bought three hearts. Oh my gosh, let's go. That's awesome. Oh my, Okay, there we go. We'll give you the little Once we receive them, the whole podcast is going to be that three. That's amazing. Okay, So Robert, I one hundred percent understand where you're coming from. I get it. If I am mentioning Apple Apple Apple on TV,

people say I'm an Apple fanboy. All all I care about is Apple, Apple pays me. Oh my gosh, I'm you know, Apple, Apple Apple, And I get it. I get how that can seem to be the case. But you have to understand where I'm coming from. Number One, I get two minutes on TV. Right in those two minutes, I have to make an impact on you. I have to tell you what's good. I have to tell you what's bad. And it's really really tricky sometimes because my audience on TV is a very broad audience. It is

people that don't even care about technology. Sometimes it's people that are just sitting there watching the news and they see me come up and they go, oh, what's this guy talking about? Oh? Apple Apple again. Well, you know, Apple comes out with a lot of products every year. Now, specifically, you're asking why I did not cover the Samsung tablets and why I covered the Amazon tablet, And I'll get to my Amazon tablet review in just a moment. Easy

Amazon tablet is one hundred dollars. By the way, it'll be even cheaper over the holidays. So I'm anticipating that we have a lot of Amazon shop the watching TV. That tablet is gonna be on their home screen all throughout the holidays. It's gonna be fifty dollars, it's gonna be seventy five dollars, and people are going, wait, do I get this? This is a tablet for seventy five

bucks one hundred bucks. And so what they're gonna do is they're gonna google rich on Tech, Amazon Kindle tablet or Fire tablet, and they're gonna see my review, and now they can see what I think about that one hundred dollars tablet. Samsung tablets. You know, there's also a bit of curation that goes along in what I choose to cover. Samsung tablets. I don't recommend typically because I think they're way too expensive for what you get, and

I think an iPad is better. If I'm spending three hundred dollars on a tablet, I'm gonna recommend an iPad every single day of the week. And the reason for that is because the ecosystem, the apps, the accessories, it's Apple. It's gonna run better, it's gonna last many more years. The Samsung tablets, and yes it's been a while since I've tested one, they're just way too expensive for an

Android ecosystem that almost barely exists on a tablet. There are so many amazing applications for an iPad, like I'm talking world class tablet applications. You go to Android and you go to download the same apps if they're even available, and they're horrible. And I'm not knocking what Samsung's doing. It's just a bigger problem of the Android ecosystem. It doesn't exist for tablets. It's someplace that has just really

not gone over very well. Now is that not to say that if you bought a Samsung tablet, and I'm not judging you if you did, I think it's fine that things like Netflix are gonna work just fine, things like Hulu are gonna work fine. Absolutely, But then I go back to my original argument, which is, go for the Kindle tablet if you're just reading a Kindle book, if you're just reading, or the fire tablet. I should say, if you're just watching shows and movies. You don't need

something that is the Samsung level of price. And I looked up the Samsung ones. It's about three hundred dollars. That's a lot of money for a tablet that I feel like just doesn't have the apps to back it up. So I hope that explains your question. I'm believe me. You know, I'm not gonna say my job is, you know, like, don't cry for me. Like I love my job. I love what I do. But there is some curation involved

in number one. Anything I mentioned on TV, whether it is good or bad, people go out and buy it, and so I've got to take that into consideration. Like if I'm featuring a Samsung tablet, people are just gonna see the fact that I'm talking about it and they're gonna buy it without even listening to what I have to say about it. So if you listen to my reports, I really do try to give you like the good and the bad in a very short amount of time. If you read my longer reviews online, I typically try

to give you a little bit more perspective. And then if you listen to my podcast, you really truly sort of understand where I'm coming from because I get a lot longer to explain kind of my basis for things. So I get that it just looks like I cover a lot of Apple stuff, a lot of Amazon stuff,

a lot of Google stuff. But these are the products that I feel like want to put out there for people to know that I'm covering because I do think that they are the better choices in some of these circumstances. And Robert who I just I believe that's who. I just answered your question, just gave me three stars, and so wow, that's amazing. So I hope I answered your question and you're still a fan because I just kind of went off. That's what I do sometimes. All right,

let's get so. Speaking of iPad iPad, Dan Seaffert in The Verge says, and I didn't review this iPad, so I can't. I can't tell you if it's good or not. But basically the standard iPad, which is kind of like the the you know, the iPad that is the regular iPad. I call it the standard. It's called the tenth generation iPad. They just gave it an update this week and it got USBC great performance in battery. Lots of good apps.

Accessories are confusing and expensive. Yes, the price is high and displays average, so that kind of sums it up. And look again, this goes back to my idea of like the iPad is this amazing tablet, Like it is the best tablet in the world. Apple invented it, and I will never forget sitting there watching them unveil the tablet Steve Jobs on stage. I think it was more than ten years ago. I was working at the time at a website called tech Meme and this blew my mind.

I'm sitting there just thinking about, oh my gosh, this giant screen is going to become everything. It's a movie theater, it's a book, it's a magazine, it's a news I already say newspaper. It's a drawing tablet. Even though back then he didn't really believe in the stylist. That's come full circle. This is going to revolutionize everything. It's a screen. You could do work on it, you can write your emails,

whatever it is. I mean, it's still to this day the most amazing, I think, the most amazing gadgets, one of the most amazing gadgets in the world outside of the iPhone. But again, it's one of those things that you buy when you need it and it's expensive. They raised the ice basically by over one hundred dollars. So the entry level price on this this iPad is, you know, it's like four hundred and I think like four thirty or four fifty. Now, I mean that's a lot of

money for an iPad. And by the way, that's just the iPad doesn't include the case, doesn't include the pencil if you want, it, doesn't include a keyboard. So these iPads can get very, very expensive. But I think for the average person who's not video editing and and doesn't

need a computer, they're really really good. And it's kind of a one size fits all kind of thing, or not one size fits all, because there's a lot of different iPads to choose from, but I think it's something that you know, you can use for a lot of different things. All Right, we're getting a lot of questions on the live chat here. RW says, how do you feel about the new in home cellular connectivity Internet by

T Mobile and Verizon. I think it is amazing if you can switch to it and the connection is fast in your home, absolutely enjoy the quote unquote free ride. We're getting right now because again this goes back to the streaming services. If you buy internet from T Mobile or Verizon their new wireless home internet, it is way cheaper than internet you can get anywhere else. Why you ask,

because they're trying to get people to use it. In three years, it'll be just as expensive as internet that you got through your home in a wire in a cable. But right now, ride that free ride because you're getting you know, thirty to you know, twenty to thirty to fifty dollars off every month on your home internet because the price point is way cheaper than what it will be later on when adoption is at a place when T Mobile and Verizon are much more comfortable with and

they feel like they can jack up the prices. So right now it's cheap. If it works and you have a good signal at your house, absolutely get it. Coco says, I got the air iPad Air. I use it all the time. Laura says, I just noticed eighty dollars in subscriptions, yet I don't use cancel those subscriptions. You can always resubscribe. Believe me. It feels like a big deal, but you kind of get rid of something like a service like a Hulu or a Spotify or whatever it is, and

you just kind of forget. It's like, okay, I'll use something else. Like right now, I'm paying for both Apple Music and YouTube Music, and you know now that they're both really expensive, I kind of have to make a decision. The reason I liked Apple Music is because it worked on the Apple Watch. But maybe I don't need it on the Apple Watch. Maybe I just have to deal with you know, YouTube music that you know is included with my YouTube and it, you know, doesn't work as simple.

Our subscriptions needed to use Echo, No, they are not. You do not need a subscription to use the Amazon Echo. All right, let's talk about the Speaking of tablets, let's talk about the Amazon Fire HD eight. This is a one hundred dollars tablet. I tested it. I brought it on my trip to Japan as my only entertainment option on the plane, and it was a little nerve racking because I'm typically, you know, an iPad person, and it

was just fine. It was totally fine. The Fire HD eight has an eight in screen, it's got USBC charging, it's faster, it's thinner, it's lighter, it's got thirteen hour battery life, which the battery was just fine. I tested the Plus version, which is twenty dollars more. It has one gigabyte more of RAM, which I'd probably recommend getting, honestly, a better rear camera. You're not gonna be taking pictures

with this thing. Faster charging, and also wireless charging. They have a kids version, which I really don't recommend if your kids are playing Roadblocks and Minecraft. I really think an iPad is the best thing, even though I'm not a fan of Roadblocks to this day. I download a bunch of video apps. I took it on my flight. It worked great. There's this weird, annoying unlock screen with an AD on it. Every time you go to unlock it,

it's like a new ad that's like moving. It's either for a book or a movie, or a Prime show or a game. It's very distracting. But you just swipe out and unlock your tablet. You're fine. You can pay Amazon I think fifteen dollars to get rid of that. The home screen, I was surprised to find, only gives a certain level of customization. You can't delete some of theilon apps, which I thought was weird. Search is bing

which not really a fan of Google. This is the biggest thing about the the the Amazon tablet, and this would be if you really love Amazon or Google apps, why you might want a Samsung tablet is that Google Play is not on this tablet. Like again, Google and Amazon, you know, frenemies like every other tech business. And you can't install Google apps easily like Maps, Gmail YouTube. I mean, come on, in the year twenty twenty two, why is that you can use web versions? They're just not very good.

I mean they're fine, but it's just not the same as a native app. So default memory thirty two sixty four gigs. You could put a memory card in up to a terabyte. Let me just explain what this is all about. This tablet is for content creation. It is not for content It's sorry. This is not for content creation.

It's for content consumption. So if you are reading books, watching movie, watching TV shows, listening to music, listening to Audible, the fire HD eight for one hundred bucks or less, I would say, wait for this thing to go on sale. It will go on sale. Amazing deal. There is even a headphone jack so you can plug in headphones. There's also a feature called tap to Alexa, which expands accessibility. It basically lets you interact with Alexa using your a

tap versus your voice. And overall it's just a it's an inexpensive tablet. It's good for just watching shows, if you just want something to bring on the plane, or just you know, sit on your couch and watch content. It's great. Or read. I personally like a regular Kindle to read. I like the screen on the regular Kindle. So that's that's that, all right. Let me get through a couple more things I just wanted to mention here. Duo Lingo now has a math app, so definitely download

Duo Lingo Math. I've been playing with it and I've gotten to the second level above easy and it's it's pretty cool. So it's just like a little refresher for math, just like kind of learning a languae, except applying that same magic to math. And if you have a kid, definitely, definitely definitely download Duo Lingo Math for them. It is fantastic. I got both of my kids to use it over the past couple of days and they both loved it.

Not just liked it, they loved it. You know, a lot of apps I have them test out or try you know, they play for a minute and then they move on. They loved this app and I love that my kids are playing a quote unquote game that involves math. So that is a win win win situation in my book. All Right, what else do I want to talk about before I go? One more story we did on KTLA. This was really cool. It's called Flytographer, and I've got to give a shout out to my pal Johnny Jet

for telling me about this in his newsletter. If you don't get his travel newsletter, go ahead and subscribe to that. But Flytographer is basically a website that helps you hire a professional photographer in any city that you travel to. And so you can do this. We've been doing this in various cities that we've gone on family vacations. You hire a photography, they take family pictures, use them as your your Christmas card or your holiday card, and it's great.

But this just makes that a little bit easier because you could just type in Maui, you can type in Rome, you can type in Honolulu, you can type in Tokyo, and it gives you a couple of photographers. You can see what kind of their world is what they you know, their style of photography, and then you can hire them two hundred and fifty dollars. Our two hundred and eighty five dollars for a half an hour session is the minimum. You can get that cheaper through a referral link. I've

got that on my Instagram stories. It's like takes some money off of that and that'll get you fifteen curated photos you can download. So I like that you get your digital files. Liz says she saw my pictures and she likes them, thank you. And it's just it's really cool. I had a blast doing this in Tokyo. It's such a good idea. I think that it's it's one of those things where, yes, you can take selfies wherever you but if you're you know, a family picture, is really

is it worth three hundred dollars? Yeah, that's expensive. It's a splurgch there's no doubt about it. But you're gonna use this thing, You're gonna frame this picture. You're gonna have better memories than you can get on your smartphone. And yeah, I mean maybe the next step of this is to just have someone take your iPhone and take or your Samsung and take a bunch of pictures of you. That's not a bad idea, but you know, it beats taking selfies, it beats taking you know, asking a stranger.

It was seriously, seriously cool. All right Before I go, let me just answer a couple of these questions I'm seeing percolating on here. The math app is called Duo Lingo d U O l I n g O Duo Lingo Math. They have a language app that's also good, but this is brand new. It's called Dual Lingo Math. HEYESU says, do you think DGI drones are worth it? I have a Magic Air first generation. Absolutely. My kid is a huge fan of flying drones I have. I've

had a couple of them over the years. The Dji is absolutely the best when we've used I think it was the Mavick, the little tiny one. I had to send it back to Dji, but it's actually on my don't tell him, but it's on my Christmas list because he is a drone whiz and it's you know, these other drones are fun, but they're only you know, only a little bit. You know, it's only a you can only go so far with them. But Dji is like, you know, the best, and so I think definitely go

with that. Frank says, should I switch to Google Fi? I think if you're on a Google phone, I think like a pixel, I think Google Fi is worth it. Otherwise, I think there's better options out there. I think that Mint Mobile is excellent for a low cost carrier. US Mobile is really really good for a low cost carrier. Cricket is really good if you want the AT and T network. Also, don't discount Boost Mobile. Boost Mobile has a twenty five dollars unlimited plan that I tested and

it was excellent. They're also coming out with this plan called Boost Infinity or Infinite. I forget what it's called, but I would wait for that to see what the details are. It sounds like it's a Google Fi competitor, and you know, Google Fi is good, but it's not cheap anymore. It used to be like really kind of like inexpensive. Now I feel like it's kind of the same price as as a you know, a regular carrier, and the benefit is not really there because it's just

basically T Mobile repurpose. So if you want that, just maybe just go T Mobile directly. You know, Oh gosh, what does that sound mean, that means that's going to do it for this episode of the show.

are fun, they're informative, they're great. If I must say so myself, my name is rich Dmiro. Thanks so much for listening. There are so many ways you can spend an hour of your precious time. I do appreciate you spending it right here with me. I will talk to you real soon,
