Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: It's a Lady with mo Kelly and we're live on
Speaker 2: YouTube at mister mo Kelly and joining us in studio
Speaker 2: on this Thursday, This Tech Thursday is none other than
Speaker 2: Marsha Collier. Marshall Collier is always great to see you,
Speaker 2: but it's also great for everyone else to be able
Speaker 2: to see you as well.
Speaker 3: I love I love the new YouTube. It's it's fabulous.
Speaker 3: Hi everybody, how you doing? We got so much fun
Speaker 3: in tech.
Speaker 4: What do you want to start tonight?
Speaker 5: Well, lots of fun. You want to save money?
Speaker 3: You want to hear about some missing Android updates that
Speaker 3: you may not have, Let's do that. Okay, So unlike iPhones,
Speaker 3: you know, iPhones just drop oh we have a new
Speaker 3: operating system. Everybody gets it all at once. But when
Speaker 3: you're an Android, you may get it here.
Speaker 2: Right, get a feature here, a security update there, it's
Speaker 2: a peacepeal.
Speaker 5: It's it's definitely piecemeal.
Speaker 3: Actually, you get like three different types of updates, and
Speaker 3: it really helps if maybe once a month you go
Speaker 3: to your settings and you look search updates.
Speaker 5: The most important one and this is.
Speaker 3: One that you don't probably even know you have, and
Speaker 3: that's the Google Play update, which really that's your feature update.
Speaker 3: So when they have new features, that's where they're dropped
Speaker 3: because it's incremental. With Android, you don't get it in
Speaker 3: one giant PLoP. You get, oh, we just invented this,
Speaker 3: so we are going to give it to you on now.
Speaker 3: So you have to be sure to check for updates
Speaker 3: in the Android Play system and that will be in
Speaker 3: updates in your settings. The April update had something really
Speaker 3: interesting in it, and I think it's a great security
Speaker 3: fixture feature. But iPhones have something similar and it's a
Speaker 3: real benefit for us to have it now. The new
Speaker 3: security feature automatically restarts the phone that remains locked for
Speaker 3: three consecutive days.
Speaker 2: They tell us, we're supposed to reboot our phones semi
Speaker 2: regularly anyway.
Speaker 3: Well, but you know, you may be hey, I'm taking
Speaker 3: a digital break, I'm not, or I'll only use my
Speaker 3: tablet or something like that.
Speaker 5: So what that does.
Speaker 3: It's supposed to prevent unauthorized access by returning the device
Speaker 3: to a secure, fully encrypted state. Believe it or not,
Speaker 3: it's called before first unlock. In other words, the way
Speaker 3: the phone was before the first unlock totally secure, and
Speaker 3: the reboot that you're going to get automatically if you
Speaker 3: don't start your phone in three days and it's locked,
Speaker 3: it triggers a new encryption of the device's data and
Speaker 3: it makes it totally inaccessible without the passcode.
Speaker 2: That is very cool because I know when I reboot
Speaker 2: my phone, my fingerprint sensor is not going to work.
Speaker 5: It forces me to put in my passcode. Well this,
Speaker 5: well that's it, that's what you're referring to.
Speaker 3: But again, this is dropping kind of like pop yeah,
Speaker 3: kind of farm, you know. But the automatic reboot, if
Speaker 3: the phone is locked, not unlocked three days, it will happen,
Speaker 3: and this will prevent unauthorized access to your phone's data,
Speaker 3: which is absolutely everything you need.
Speaker 5: And it encrypts and encryption. I mean, that's magic to
Speaker 5: have your phone refreshed and encrypted. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't know if there's a way to add actually
Speaker 3: do this yourself without leaving your phone for three days.
Speaker 4: Which is kind of unconscionable, but.
Speaker 5: Sure Apple has an inactivity reboot as well, which does
Speaker 5: a similar thing.
Speaker 3: And I think this is a real benefit to everybody.
Speaker 3: But you're only going to have that if you get
Speaker 3: your Google Play system updates.
Speaker 2: I I'm a nerd. I'm so much of a nerd.
Speaker 2: I know that it usually drops the first Tuesday of
Speaker 2: the month, which is around If it's after the fifth
Speaker 2: of the month, it'll usually be available on my phone.
Speaker 2: And I try to never miss an update for some reason.
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe because I think there's gonna be something.
Speaker 2: There might be something special, a feature drop. It might
Speaker 2: be so, and you don't know until you, like, open
Speaker 2: up the cracker box, you know, the cracker Jack box.
Speaker 5: That's the only price you get.
Speaker 3: They have such crappy things in crackerjack boxes these days.
Speaker 4: I didn't even like cracker Jacks. I just wanted the prize.
Speaker 4: That was it.
Speaker 5: The little plastics germeo popcorn was not appearing to me either.
Speaker 5: Stuck to your teeth. But anyway, back to this, But
Speaker 5: you are on Pixel, Yes, I have a Pixel nine
Speaker 5: a run and Google's Pixel gets the updates first.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 5: But then you've got Samsung.
Speaker 3: You've got one Plus, which, by the way, one Plus
Speaker 3: is becoming an up and coming phone.
Speaker 5: I've been looking at their phones. You've seen them.
Speaker 3: Mo I brought us here. They're getting better and better
Speaker 3: I'm really surprised. So it's good to see somebody because
Speaker 3: Samsung's kind of been the king of Android.
Speaker 2: They have you know what, and I prefer the Samsung build,
Speaker 2: but I like the ecosystem of the stripped down Google
Speaker 2: Pixel phone, and I like getting the updates first.
Speaker 5: Well, that's that's the thing. I mean. I like standard
Speaker 5: Android because when we.
Speaker 3: Read about these updates and the phone has its own skin,
Speaker 3: is what it's called. Every Android phone has its own skin,
Speaker 3: like one UI which is Samsung. Right, it comes at
Speaker 3: different times when the manufacturer decides it's okay to drop it.
Speaker 3: So this is something you have to you need to
Speaker 3: do keep checking and also your security updates. I know
Speaker 3: a case, your phone will say you've got an update waiting,
Speaker 3: but by then it's been sitting there for a while, right.
Speaker 4: It's probably obsolete already exactly.
Speaker 5: So that's what you want to do.
Speaker 3: Go and check your updates. Features like the theft detection
Speaker 3: you know when someone grabs it out of your hand,
Speaker 3: and okay locks, remote lock and offline lock on all
Speaker 3: Android phones.
Speaker 5: They arrive on the Google Play system update. So you
Speaker 5: want these cool tricks, get that update.
Speaker 2: When we come back Marshall Calier, what do you think
Speaker 2: we should cover next?
Speaker 5: I think we should cover what I was going to
Speaker 5: talk about, and that was my ever growing Google drive.
Speaker 5: I don't know about you, but I.
Speaker 2: Have multiple Google drives under different logins to add all
Speaker 2: that space together.
Speaker 5: They haven't figured out it's all you not yet.
Speaker 4: Well, I guess I could put it out there, but.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but uh yeah, I've been too chicken to do that.
Speaker 3: I mean, I have a couple, but I like keeping
Speaker 3: it all in one place because what Steward. There are
Speaker 3: the backups of your phone. Your phone is backed up regularly.
Speaker 3: Your Gmail, dear god, my Gmail mailbox is a mess.
Speaker 3: I mean, with all the promotions that come in and
Speaker 3: all the updates that come in, there must be forty
Speaker 3: thousand emails in there. And I'm going to give you
Speaker 3: some tips on how to get rid of some of
Speaker 3: this to make some more space on your Google Drive,
Speaker 3: as well as how many stupid videos have you taken
Speaker 3: that you really don't want to be keeping up space?
Speaker 2: That's true, and those videos take up space very quickly,
Speaker 2: very easily. We'll have more with Marshall Collier on this
Speaker 2: Tech Thursday in just a moment it's Later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 2: We're live as you can see on YouTube, and also
Speaker 2: you can hear us on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2: Mo Kelly Marshall Collier everywhere in the iHeartRadio app and
Speaker 2: on YouTube, and I encourage you to tune into the
Speaker 2: YouTube live stream right now because Marsha Collier and her
Speaker 2: be beutiful red hair is just flowing and I like
Speaker 2: to show her off in that regard and it matches her.
Speaker 4: What is that salmon sweater? I wouldn't say it's pink,
Speaker 4: but it's.
Speaker 3: Well, it's kind of pink and pink and moth and
Speaker 3: mo Everything I have is.
Speaker 4: A mothelo lot look. I understand that it happens to
Speaker 4: most of my suits. Unfortunate. It's like, how did they
Speaker 4: get in?
Speaker 5: There?
Speaker 4: Have no idea.
Speaker 5: Have you ever had a smuth hoole fixed?
Speaker 4: Well, I fixed it myself. I just kind of saw
Speaker 4: it together.
Speaker 3: No, but you know, like you go to a tailor
Speaker 3: and like really and they do it. And in the
Speaker 3: old days it was like forty dollars, which was I
Speaker 3: couldn't afford. But I had it done, you couldn't tell
Speaker 3: there was I don't know what kind of magic they do.
Speaker 5: A real tailor is a real.
Speaker 2: Artist, and I've been blessed enough to have a suit
Speaker 2: or two tailored to appreciate the difference.
Speaker 4: But I'm not taking it for a moth hole. I'm
Speaker 4: just going to sew it up myself or get something else.
Speaker 3: Having clothing tailor, did you know a whole lot of
Speaker 3: the LAPD and the LAPD reserve, Because I know this
Speaker 3: for a fact. They get their shirts tailored, so you
Speaker 3: know they get that perfect line when they're on the bike.
Speaker 2: And the only reason I know that is because when
Speaker 2: I go to my dry cleaners, you will see nothing
Speaker 2: but law enforcement.
Speaker 4: There.
Speaker 2: You'll see LAPD LA County Sheriff's Department. I'm talking about
Speaker 2: Milton Eaties, not too far.
Speaker 5: From Milton's Great Cleaners.
Speaker 4: Oh it's great, twenty four to seven, you know, yeah.
Speaker 5: One thousand dollars, but you know.
Speaker 2: Oh no, it's not seat but you're paying for the
Speaker 2: for the convenience of being open all the top.
Speaker 5: Quality is absolutely great. Cleaner. Thank you for sending us
Speaker 5: the coupon.
Speaker 2: No, I know we've just spent half the segment talking
Speaker 2: about clothes and tailoring.
Speaker 4: But what do you want to pick up Google photos?
Speaker 5: Let's talk about that.
Speaker 3: Well, let's start first with we store our stuff in
Speaker 3: Google Cloud, right, Google Drive, iCloud if you are on
Speaker 3: an Apple phone and dropbox or drop dot com, which
Speaker 3: is also always nagging me to buy more. But I've
Speaker 3: got stuff up on there and it gets expensive. Google
Speaker 3: Drive gives you fifteen gigabytes for free, and that sounds oh,
Speaker 3: I'm happy I have free space. That's so cool, But
Speaker 3: I have to tell you it fills up because, as
Speaker 3: I said, email that is so upsetting, because do you
Speaker 3: delete everything?
Speaker 5: Do you go through all those little folders every day?
Speaker 2: It's the emails and the attachments may be connected to them,
Speaker 2: it may be sent to you, it still adds up
Speaker 2: in your Google Drive.
Speaker 5: Right, and that's my file cabinet.
Speaker 3: So for example, you can do universal drops and just
Speaker 3: say hey, I'm going to delete. But I use my
Speaker 3: Gmail as a file cabinet, so I can reference emails
Speaker 3: from two thousand and eight that are on a certain
Speaker 3: topic and has saved my day a lot. So I
Speaker 3: don't do general deletes, but what you can do, let's
Speaker 3: say you like those emails from best Buy. I occasionally
Speaker 3: like them, but they send them every day every day,
Speaker 3: best Buy people. Really that's not helping your case. Trust me,
Speaker 3: we don't need them every day. So in order to
Speaker 3: delete those, type in the bar from with a colon
Speaker 3: a's two dots, you know, it's on the right of
Speaker 3: the keyboard and best Buy.
Speaker 5: Click.
Speaker 3: You will get all the emails that are in your
Speaker 3: box from best Buy. Then you tap a little dot
Speaker 3: on the top left top left yft and it puts
Speaker 3: check marks in all the way down. Hit the delete
Speaker 3: button and you'll get a warning that'll say, you know
Speaker 3: you have more than just on this page.
Speaker 5: Would you like to delete them all?
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 5: Yes, I would all of them.
Speaker 3: And it does take time, so you know, don't keep
Speaker 3: poking the delete button because it does take a while,
Speaker 3: especially if there are a lot of them. And that's
Speaker 3: what I'll do occasionally, you know, like during lunch, I'll
Speaker 3: pick a brand and okay, guys, you're done, you're out.
Speaker 3: You're out, And it doesn't really clean up enough. I
Speaker 3: still have tens of hundreds of emails, just like crazy,
Speaker 3: but I don't want to lose anything important.
Speaker 2: One thing I noticed in that delete function it allows
Speaker 2: me to not only delete, but also and maybe this
Speaker 2: is relatively new, not not very new, it will automatically
Speaker 2: unsubscribe me if I ask it to as well.
Speaker 3: Right, and do you ever just before you hit that
Speaker 3: unsubscribed button say, oh, maybe I don't want to do
Speaker 3: this because maybe the maybe I like this email.
Speaker 2: Rarely almost never though, yeah, I get a lot of
Speaker 2: those are unsolicited. It's like, wait a bitte, I didn't
Speaker 2: sign up for this. You might have signed up for
Speaker 2: one of their partner sites or something, or bought something
Speaker 2: else and you're on.
Speaker 3: The list right right, And I thought we were supposed
Speaker 3: to be able to agree to our emails, but oh no,
Speaker 3: that's in the terms of service and the privacy policy.
Speaker 3: The twenty pages of scrolling ten point type that you're
Speaker 3: never going to read.
Speaker 4: You have to scroll to the bottom so you can
Speaker 4: hit accept. That's right, those are the rules.
Speaker 3: And you can't get into the program and click except no, no,
Speaker 3: no no. When you're in Google Photos, this is an
Speaker 3: awful mess too. In the old days, we used to
Speaker 3: be able to see the bad pictures when we pick
Speaker 3: them up from photomat photo maat.
Speaker 4: We don't know what photo maat is I'm about to explain.
Speaker 3: Okay, Photo Maat was a little place that had kiosks
Speaker 3: in parking lots and inside they'd have a guy and
Speaker 3: a machine. You'd drop off physical film and the guy
Speaker 3: would deliver the next day or later, within an hour,
Speaker 3: prints of your pictures.
Speaker 5: So this was all automated. It was all very cool.
Speaker 3: You had to pay what was it like, thirty cents
Speaker 3: a picture?
Speaker 4: It was something. It was ridiculously it was inexpensive.
Speaker 5: It was inexpensive.
Speaker 3: But the point was you sometimes got rolls back where
Speaker 3: one picture was good out of twenty four disappointing. So
Speaker 3: we have it so much better this day, and we
Speaker 3: store them up in Google Drive. You need to go
Speaker 3: through there every once in a while, and I must
Speaker 3: have I'm pushing one hundred thousand pictures. When they are
Speaker 3: stored in Google Drive, they are stored at a lower resolution,
Speaker 3: which means if I ever have grandchildren, they're going to
Speaker 3: have these fuzzy pictures of me, and that's that's the
Speaker 3: way it's going to be. Grandma's going to be fuzzy,
Speaker 3: which probably better idea, but you got to realize that.
Speaker 5: Every time you take a picture, every time you do a.
Speaker 3: Screenshot and the way you can get around uploading everything
Speaker 3: because I don't like to upload my screenshots because screenshots.
Speaker 5: Are usually notes to myself.
Speaker 3: What I do is you go tap your picture the
Speaker 3: upper right side of Google Gmail, click settings and not Gmail,
Speaker 3: I am so sorry, Google Photos, google Photos app. You
Speaker 3: click that and you can select which of your photo
Speaker 3: albums you want to back up. So I just unclick
Speaker 3: the one for screenshots because screenshots I do right, and
Speaker 3: I don't save the pictures from my book, which is
Speaker 3: a little difficult. So you just have to be careful
Speaker 3: in what you're uploading. But to unload a bunch of stuff,
Speaker 3: sometimes you could go up there and you can sort
Speaker 3: with giving you the details, which we don't have a
Speaker 3: whole lot of time for. But you can sort large
Speaker 3: attachments on Gmail. And you can also recover storage by
Speaker 3: looking for your movies, which Moe and I were talking about.
Speaker 3: You may have downloaded a movie you can't read on
Speaker 3: an Android device anyway, right because there's different formats, just
Speaker 3: delete them because I mean just an audio file that
Speaker 3: lasts twenty eight minutes, that can be twenty megabytes, twenty megabytes.
Speaker 3: You have enough of those if you have a podcast.
Speaker 3: Why don't you move those to a hard drive, you know,
Speaker 3: if you want to archive your podcast, don't keep them
Speaker 3: there and keep backing them up to go well, because
Speaker 3: you don't need to be paying for that.
Speaker 2: I'd only add one thing, make sure that you also
Speaker 2: empty your trash, yes, because if you don't empty from
Speaker 2: the trash, it's still thinking that it's they are.
Speaker 3: Right, and you don't know if it's monitoring how much
Speaker 3: you have in it when it comes to time to
Speaker 3: rebill you. Because the pricing. Just so you know, we
Speaker 3: said fifteen gigabytes free. Nice, but a dollar ninety nine
Speaker 3: a month for one hundred gigabytes that's my sweet spot.
Speaker 5: I think it's great.
Speaker 3: I've only got about forty gigabytes up there, and I've
Speaker 3: been using it since the beginning, So twenty nine ninety
Speaker 3: nine a year is.
Speaker 5: I like it. It's a good idea. But then two
Speaker 5: ninety nine a month for two hundred gigabytes if you
Speaker 5: really are picture hoarder or data hoarder, and two terabytes
Speaker 5: for nine ninety nine a month, and you can store
Speaker 5: a whole lot into terrorbytes.
Speaker 2: Some great, great tips and some tricks and some advice
Speaker 2: that we all can use starting right now. You don't
Speaker 2: have to be a tech expert of guru like Marshall Collier.
Speaker 2: You can do it right now and make your life
Speaker 2: easier without buying unnecessary storage.
Speaker 3: I hope everybody likes the tips that I give each
Speaker 3: week because they're kind of basic tips, but we forget them.
Speaker 2: How can they reach out to you if they want
Speaker 2: to know more? I know you have a large fan
Speaker 2: base who interacts with you.
Speaker 3: Marshacollier dot com. Go to the contact page and you
Speaker 3: can reach me through there and.
Speaker 4: She responds a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Marshall call, You're always good to see you look fabulous.
Speaker 4: Thank you for coming in studio with us.
Speaker 5: Thank you, Mosia.
Speaker 1: Next week you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on
Speaker 1: demand from KFI AM six forty
