00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Joining us to explain what's worth your time and what

2
00:00:02.319 --> 00:00:05.000
<v Speaker 1>is just high biscay Ifvice Tech guy Richard Muro from

3
00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:06.440
<v Speaker 1>rich on Tech, good morning.

4
00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:09.519
<v Speaker 2>Hey, good morning to you, Heather. Thanks for that great intro.

5
00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh you're welcome. It's so nice to talk with you.

6
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:14.560
<v Speaker 1>This is one of my favorite segments.

7
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:15.439
<v Speaker 2>I love you.

8
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:18.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, let's talk about Windows. They just got a lot

9
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:21.079
<v Speaker 1>smarter with AI. So how exactly does this new feature

10
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:24.160
<v Speaker 1>work and could it change how we interact with our devices?

11
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:27.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think it's actually quite interesting. Windows has been

12
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:30.519
<v Speaker 3>going through a major evolution. Obviously, Microsoft one of the

13
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:34.079
<v Speaker 3>biggest investors in open AI, so they've been building a

14
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:39.520
<v Speaker 3>lot of the AI features into Windows software through Copilot,

15
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:43.000
<v Speaker 3>which is, you know, their sort of version of CHATCHYBT.

16
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:45.079
<v Speaker 2>And so you know, things have been changing.

17
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:47.000
<v Speaker 3>But one of the things that they're adding I thought

18
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:50.640
<v Speaker 3>was really cool is this idea of AI to change

19
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.479
<v Speaker 3>the settings on your computer. How many times have you

20
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:55.280
<v Speaker 3>looked at your mouse and you're like, I wish that

21
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:58.840
<v Speaker 3>mouse cursor was bigger, or I wish that my screen

22
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:01.479
<v Speaker 3>would turn off after four minutes and not one minute,

23
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:03.359
<v Speaker 3>or I want my screen, you know, my keyboard, you know,

24
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:07.000
<v Speaker 3>I want a different a German keyboard, whatever. Now you

25
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:10.400
<v Speaker 3>can literally just go into the settings and ask for

26
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:13.200
<v Speaker 3>what you want to change. The AI will figure out

27
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:15.000
<v Speaker 3>what you're trying to say and it will.

28
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Do it for you. That's a big shift in how

29
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:18.480
<v Speaker 2>we work with our computers.

30
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:22.719
<v Speaker 1>Ooh, that sounds fun. I mean definitely the mouse size sometimes,

31
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:25.280
<v Speaker 1>especially here when we're kind of following our stories, it's

32
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:26.680
<v Speaker 1>like where where's my cursor?

33
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:27.319
<v Speaker 2>Where to it go?

34
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:30.239
<v Speaker 1>Plus I'm getting old, so it's hard for me to

35
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:32.680
<v Speaker 1>see things, so that would be allo.

36
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:33.400
<v Speaker 2>I find.

37
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:37.079
<v Speaker 3>I find sometimes you know, making the zoom a little

38
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:40.599
<v Speaker 3>bit better is a little bit bigger is better. But

39
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:42.239
<v Speaker 3>the other thing is that you know, you may find

40
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:44.120
<v Speaker 3>settings that you didn't even know you could do, Like

41
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:46.959
<v Speaker 3>maybe you just didn't even Hey, where's my emoji keyboard?

42
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:48.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, and it brings that up.

43
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:50.680
<v Speaker 3>So it's like it's just the idea of Like, to me,

44
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:55.519
<v Speaker 3>AI is really opening up this idea of natural language computing,

45
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:57.400
<v Speaker 3>Like we just ask what we want to do and

46
00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Speaker 3>it helps us do that.

47
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:00.359
<v Speaker 2>And I think we're going to see that with all

48
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:03.640
<v Speaker 2>of our devices over time. I love that all.

49
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:07.079
<v Speaker 1>Right, So Amazon is finally letting users make in app

50
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:10.759
<v Speaker 1>purchases on iPhones. And to be honest, I thought we

51
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:13.039
<v Speaker 1>could already do that, is what am I missing here?

52
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.039
<v Speaker 1>I thought, when I go on my Amazon, I can

53
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:16.159
<v Speaker 1>make app purchases.

54
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:19.159
<v Speaker 3>Okay, well, this is a this is a big shift

55
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.439
<v Speaker 3>in the way that Apple does business because we had

56
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:25.919
<v Speaker 3>a court say, hey, you have to let consumers and developers,

57
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:30.599
<v Speaker 3>you know, lead consumers to third party payment methods on

58
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:32.719
<v Speaker 3>the iPhone. So right now, on the iPhone, basically, if

59
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:34.759
<v Speaker 3>you make any sort of purchase, you know, and I'm

60
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:36.960
<v Speaker 3>not talking the Amazon app where you're making like a

61
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:38.919
<v Speaker 3>purchase of something that you're shipping to your house. I'm

62
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:40.759
<v Speaker 3>talking the Kindle app specifically.

63
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, you couldn't.

64
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:44.439
<v Speaker 3>You couldn't buy an ebook from the Kindle app for

65
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:48.240
<v Speaker 3>many years because Amazon would have to give a thirty

66
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:51.400
<v Speaker 3>percent cut to Apple for all those ebooks. And of

67
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:52.840
<v Speaker 3>course they're not going to do that because that's just

68
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.159
<v Speaker 3>a lot of money they're going to waste. And so

69
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:57.280
<v Speaker 3>now with this court ruling that says you have to

70
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:01.360
<v Speaker 3>offer alternative payment links and ioa apps, all these major

71
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:04.039
<v Speaker 3>developers have been updating their apps to be easier where

72
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:06.439
<v Speaker 3>you can subscribe. Now in the app, you can get

73
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:10.159
<v Speaker 3>alternative payment solutions. You can be led to a website

74
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:12.680
<v Speaker 3>that lets you pay outside the app. And so Amazon

75
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.759
<v Speaker 3>has updated their app immediately and now you can actually

76
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.560
<v Speaker 3>purchase an ebook through that app. It's not it's kind

77
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.800
<v Speaker 3>of weird to that leads you to the Amazon website still,

78
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.800
<v Speaker 3>so it's not a perfect system. But at the same time,

79
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:29.039
<v Speaker 3>this has been a major shift in the way developers

80
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:32.800
<v Speaker 3>can offer consumers better and different payment methods on the

81
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:34.080
<v Speaker 3>iPhone outside of.

82
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:34.719
<v Speaker 2>The App Store.

83
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.800
<v Speaker 3>And we're seeing Spotify update their app, We're seeing Patreon

84
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:41.639
<v Speaker 3>update their app. Pretty much every major app maker is

85
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.560
<v Speaker 3>getting on board because it saves them about thirty percent

86
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:45.280
<v Speaker 3>off the top.

87
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:47.719
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well that's going to be really handy. That's going

88
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:50.840
<v Speaker 1>to be really helpful. Okay, let's talk about Samsung. Their

89
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.280
<v Speaker 1>new tap to transfer payment features sounds a little too easy,

90
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:56.360
<v Speaker 1>but is this sort of the future of peer to

91
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:57.199
<v Speaker 1>peer payments.

92
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:01.240
<v Speaker 3>I just thought this was super cool because you know

93
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:03.599
<v Speaker 3>the idea that you you know right now when you

94
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:05.560
<v Speaker 3>like the other day I had to pay someone.

95
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:07.080
<v Speaker 2>I was like, do you have Venmo? And he's like sure,

96
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:08.280
<v Speaker 2>He's like, I'd rather use zell.

97
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:10.159
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, okay, well I don't really want to use Zel,

98
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:12.159
<v Speaker 3>can we use Venmo? And then he has to transfer

99
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:13.639
<v Speaker 3>the money to his bank account. So it's like this

100
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:16.120
<v Speaker 3>whole thing. Whenever it comes to paying someone, you have

101
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:18.439
<v Speaker 3>to figure out like which payment app do they use?

102
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:18.720
<v Speaker 2>Right?

103
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:23.439
<v Speaker 3>Well, Samsung is now letting you literally tap someone's debit

104
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:26.720
<v Speaker 3>card right to your phone, so you can just tap

105
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:28.920
<v Speaker 3>their card to your phone and transfer the money. So

106
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:30.800
<v Speaker 3>if you're like, hey, you know you owe me thirty

107
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.959
<v Speaker 3>bucks for dinner, I don't, Yeah, just literally tap your

108
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:37.240
<v Speaker 3>debit card to my phone and the thirty dollars will

109
00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:37.920
<v Speaker 3>transfer to me.

110
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:39.959
<v Speaker 2>So I thought that was pretty cool.

111
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:42.720
<v Speaker 1>It's like to pay the store when we check out,

112
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:44.040
<v Speaker 1>we do the tap to check.

113
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:47.519
<v Speaker 2>Out exactly, except imagine your phone is now like the

114
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.319
<v Speaker 2>cash registered checkout thing. So I just thought it was.

115
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:53.360
<v Speaker 3>Kind of thing, a neat thing. Now Apple has introduced

116
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:56.519
<v Speaker 3>a similar feature. I'm not sure that many people use it,

117
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.279
<v Speaker 3>but it requires it's not just your regular card, like

118
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:01.560
<v Speaker 3>you have to tap your two iPhones together and you

119
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:03.720
<v Speaker 3>can exchange cash. I have not used that feature, so

120
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:05.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm not exactly sure how it works, but I know

121
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:08.560
<v Speaker 3>they did advertise something at one of their events about that.

122
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:10.879
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sure how widely that's used, but this is

123
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:12.720
<v Speaker 3>kind of cool because it's just a debit card. You're like, hey,

124
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:13.600
<v Speaker 3>tap your card.

125
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:14.079
<v Speaker 2>Tap your card.

126
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:16.680
<v Speaker 1>That's so cool. Okay, really quickly before we let you go.

127
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:19.879
<v Speaker 1>You just reviewed the Pixel nine A for KTLA. What

128
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:21.439
<v Speaker 1>makes this phone a standout?

129
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:25.360
<v Speaker 3>I mean really the price four hundred and ninety nine dollars.

130
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:27.759
<v Speaker 3>It's got everything you need, it's got a great design,

131
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:31.240
<v Speaker 3>it's got great AI, it's got an excellent camera, seven

132
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:35.399
<v Speaker 3>years of software support, so there's really nothing inside this phone.

133
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:37.560
<v Speaker 3>Like if you just want a value phone, this is

134
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:39.839
<v Speaker 3>going to be a fantastic device for the next five

135
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:43.079
<v Speaker 3>to seven years. And the only downside I found is

136
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.720
<v Speaker 3>that a lot of the premium phones now have satellite connectivity.

137
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:48.160
<v Speaker 3>So if you're in the middle of nowhere and you

138
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:50.120
<v Speaker 3>need to dial nine one one, you can do that

139
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:53.120
<v Speaker 3>over satellite, or at least call for help over satellite.

140
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:55.839
<v Speaker 3>This phone does not have that feature, which is one

141
00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:58.680
<v Speaker 3>sort of downside, But otherwise, if you can live.

142
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:01.279
<v Speaker 2>With that, this is a great device for five hundred bucks.

143
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:02.959
<v Speaker 1>I just don't know if I'm ever ready to give

144
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:05.040
<v Speaker 1>up my iPhone I know that's terrible.

145
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.720
<v Speaker 2>But I know that one. I know this is Android.

146
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:10.399
<v Speaker 3>So but the iPhone has the iPhone sixteen E which

147
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:12.439
<v Speaker 3>is six hundred dollars and it's also a great value.

148
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:14.519
<v Speaker 1>All right, good to know, all right, everybody. Listen to
