Speaker 1: Let's say good morning to the host of Rich on
Speaker 1: Tech Ktalized Text Reporter. It's Rich demuror. Hey Rich, I hear,
Speaker 1: congratulations are in order?
Speaker 2: Oh thank you. Yes, my weekend show that started on
Speaker 2: KFI is expanding to New York City this weekend. We'll
Speaker 2: be on wo R in New York City now addition
Speaker 2: to KFI.
Speaker 1: As long as you're not leaving KFI, I'm fine with this.
Speaker 1: But you know what, I think I know what put
Speaker 1: it over the top, not only that you are extremely
Speaker 1: talented and knowledgeable about tech things, but also I remember
Speaker 1: you went to New York not too long ago and
Speaker 1: you told us about how you bought a digital billboard
Speaker 1: for yourself. So you were like on Times Square and
Speaker 1: I think they said, hey, who's that tech guy?
Speaker 2: We need them here, I think so they finally notice
Speaker 2: to me because of that that was a cool thing.
Speaker 2: I might have to you know what, maybe I'll get
Speaker 2: another billboard just to commemorate the new show. But I'm excited.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm from New Jersey, so it's kind of fun,
Speaker 2: you know, for my parents to be able to listen
Speaker 2: to me, and of course, you know, to bring the
Speaker 2: tech news that LA has enjoyed for so long that
Speaker 2: helpful information to the folks of New York City. I
Speaker 2: think it's going to make it a better city.
Speaker 1: I love it. And speaking of Apples, let's get to it.
Speaker 1: Apples launched a new app that's supposed to arrival Evite.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it's certainly much more modern than Evite. So
Speaker 2: it's called Apple Invites, and this is for iPhone. You
Speaker 2: make little invitations for parties through the app. They're very simple.
Speaker 2: I made one this morning, a mock Super Bowl party invitation,
Speaker 2: and you know, the interesting thing is that it's very apply,
Speaker 2: so it's very simple, it's very clear, very easy to do.
Speaker 2: It puts your address in there, automatically puts the weather
Speaker 2: for the event. You can share photos and videos with
Speaker 2: a shared album, so that's interesting. And then you can
Speaker 2: use AI. So you know, Apple has built AI Image
Speaker 2: generation into their latest phone, so now you can use that.
Speaker 2: So I generate an image of a Super Bowl party
Speaker 2: and it was pretty good. The main thing to know
Speaker 2: here is that this, of course is iPhone only, but
Speaker 2: anyone can respond to an invite even if they have Android,
Speaker 2: and you do need an iCloud Plus subscription, which you know,
Speaker 2: that's basically if you're paying for iCloud.
Speaker 1: Oh I was gonna say, I'm gonna try it out,
Speaker 1: but I don't pay for that subscription, so oh well.
Speaker 2: Well there there. I'll send you my rs VP.
Speaker 1: You could just check it out, okay, but it is
Speaker 1: a mock invitation, so I promise I won't show up
Speaker 1: at your house.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't show I put the wrong time, okay.
Speaker 1: And speaking of Super Bowl, Uh, we all want to
Speaker 1: feel like we're there, and you kind of can if
Speaker 1: you watch it in four K, but it costs usually,
Speaker 1: but now we can see it for free.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty cool. This is as far as I know,
Speaker 2: this the first time they've broadcast the Super Bowl and
Speaker 2: four kuh stream for free. So this is through two
Speaker 2: B t U B I. This is Fox's free streaming app.
Speaker 2: It's got all kinds of like old and free TV
Speaker 2: shows on there. Oh, I guess new TV shows and
Speaker 2: movies and stuff. But they're gonna be showing it in
Speaker 2: four K. But the trick is you have to have
Speaker 2: two things. You have to have a TV that's four K,
Speaker 2: and you also have to have a streaming device that
Speaker 2: is four K. So that's pretty much any Android TV
Speaker 2: by Sony TCL high sense brands like that. Then you
Speaker 2: have to have a Roku four K streaming stick or
Speaker 2: a box an Amazon Fire TV four K, you know,
Speaker 2: like one of those like sticks that they have has
Speaker 2: to be four K, Apple TV four K. So those
Speaker 2: are the main requirements. You download the app, it'll tell you, hey,
Speaker 2: you can get this in four K boom. You do
Speaker 2: have to put in your email address. So my advice
Speaker 2: is to do this Amy before Super Bowl Sunday. Don't
Speaker 2: wait until folks come to your house right to try
Speaker 2: to download this, Like I already did this, and you know,
Speaker 2: get the two B app up and running, make sure
Speaker 2: it works, put in your email address, and you can
Speaker 2: watch the Super Bowl for free. I did have one
Speaker 2: person at Amy. Are the commercials going to be the
Speaker 2: same on streaming because they tune in for the commercial
Speaker 2: and I think at least the big ones will be.
Speaker 2: But you know, there may be some local spots that
Speaker 2: are filled with something else. But you'll be able to
Speaker 2: watch the big commercials through this.
Speaker 1: Okay, good, no good to know. And then your segment
Speaker 1: today very timely because of the wildfires. So if people
Speaker 1: are checking out your segment on KTLA, this morning. What
Speaker 1: are they going to see?
Speaker 2: Yeah, two interesting new ideas for fighting fires. Hybertech. This
Speaker 2: is a company out of Orange County. They are working
Speaker 2: on get this amy retractable homes. They literally lower into
Speaker 2: the ground and have like a cover that goes over
Speaker 2: the top like a pool cover.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's going to be nice and affordable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, So we'll see what you know. These are
Speaker 2: in development, they've been developing for five years. They're trying
Speaker 2: to make a prototype. And then the second one is
Speaker 2: out of Israel, inspired by Israel's Iron Dome, which like
Speaker 2: blocks missiles. This is a system that detects fire and
Speaker 2: then launches like almost like a missile like fire retardant
Speaker 2: or water at the flames up to a quarter mile away.
Speaker 2: That's called fire Dome. And again they're trying to build
Speaker 2: a prototype here in California in the next two years.
Speaker 1: That one sounds more doable.
Speaker 2: I'm all about the house. I just want it for
Speaker 2: an evil layer, you know. I don't forget the fire situation.
Speaker 2: I just want like you know, I want to Okay, Sorry, guys,
Speaker 2: I'm see you later. I'm retracting into the ground. Bye,
Speaker 2: all right, that don't bother me.
Speaker 1: That'll be fun. Okay, kfi's Tech Reporter and actually KTLA's
