Speaker 3: Hi, am Moe. How are you doing?
Speaker 4: I'm doing well.
Speaker 2: It's always good to see you because not only am
Speaker 2: I talking to you, I also learned something from you
Speaker 2: every single time you're here.
Speaker 5: Well, you know, I learned something this week, and it
Speaker 5: strikes me as how did I not know this was
Speaker 5: a thing. Have you ever been on a call with
Speaker 5: someone and said to yourself, now, if I could just
Speaker 5: get my wife on this call, then I could.
Speaker 3: Explain this better.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, I know exactly what you mean.
Speaker 3: Conference call? Were you aware how easy that is?
Speaker 6: It?
Speaker 2: Seemingly it's never easy for me, and I would like
Speaker 2: to think myself as phone literate, I will hang up
Speaker 2: on your ass and a heartbeat unintentionally, of course, but
Speaker 2: trying to get that third call in.
Speaker 3: Okay, I picture this. I'm in a rapidly bad tech
Speaker 3: support situation.
Speaker 5: I have a friend who like builds quantum computers and
Speaker 5: crap like that for the vernment. You know, he has
Speaker 5: all the words. So I text him and I said,
Speaker 5: I'm on the phone. I got help.
Speaker 3: Can you help me?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 3: Put me in on the call? And I go, oops,
Speaker 3: how do you do that? And so I google it
Speaker 3: real fast? And it was so easy. And I mean
Speaker 3: for me, I've been and I've been.
Speaker 5: Using phones for miss iPhones, Android phones forever.
Speaker 3: So I have to tell you, mo, this is how
Speaker 3: easy it is.
Speaker 4: Okay, change my fix my life. Marshall Collier.
Speaker 5: Okay, you'd have to be on a call with somebody, okay,
Speaker 5: and it's so easy and okay, so you call.
Speaker 2: No, no, we're gonna do this, all right, let me
Speaker 2: see them. You can pull up Marcia Callier here. No, no, no,
Speaker 2: this is this is live radio. That's the best part.
Speaker 3: We're going to put too well on the car.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's exactly what we're gonna do, and hopefully we'll
Speaker 2: do this correctly. I'm trying to call Marsha right now.
Speaker 2: Hopefully I'll be able to do it. We don't usually
Speaker 2: have good service in here. It's calling all right, I'm
Speaker 2: calling Marshall Collier.
Speaker 3: It's not ringing on my We're twelve twelve inches away
Speaker 3: from me.
Speaker 2: I guess she doesn't want to pick up. She's screening
Speaker 2: my call live on radio and not picking up.
Speaker 3: But sorry, Mo, you're called in.
Speaker 2: No, it's the problem we have. It's only because in
Speaker 2: the studio you're probably not getting reception.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: We then there's a lot of electronics.
Speaker 2: Wait, wait, do I have more than one number on you?
Speaker 2: Maybe I just called the wrong number. Okay, let me
Speaker 2: try this number. Okay, that's something. Okay, Well, how you doing?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 2: We are now connected. Let's see if we can dial
Speaker 2: in to Wala. Okay, walk us through it.
Speaker 3: Look at your phone, tap the word more more tap
Speaker 3: ad call.
Speaker 2: Uh huh, I'm adding a call and I can dial
Speaker 2: to Wala right right, Okay, I am dying to Wala.
Speaker 4: It says conference call. Oh my goodness. Okay. So are
Speaker 4: we also hearing each other?
Speaker 3: Wat feedback?
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, feedback?
Speaker 3: But like children, So.
Speaker 2: Twala you can hear Marsha and you can hear me. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: Oh wow, that is easy.
Speaker 3: How easy?
Speaker 6: Thank you? Tuala.
Speaker 2: I get off my phone, Twala. So it's only really
Speaker 2: hitting two buttons.
Speaker 3: How simple is that. I couldn't believe how easy.
Speaker 4: I thought I had to like four or five different.
Speaker 5: Right right, And I mean I didn't even hear the
Speaker 5: call that was going on because I'm going.
Speaker 6: So I just hit the three buttons more AD call,
Speaker 6: dial number or type NME.
Speaker 2: And automatically conferences. There's nothing I have to do after
Speaker 2: that magic. Like I said at the beginning of the segment,
Speaker 2: I always learn something from Marshall Collier, but.
Speaker 3: I just learned it this week.
Speaker 5: And you know now on some of them, on other phones,
Speaker 5: you may have to tap the word merge. Ah uh huh,
Speaker 5: you know some ad call some you know, it depends
Speaker 5: on that.
Speaker 2: That's what I remember where there was an extra step, yeah,
Speaker 2: merging the call, and you'd hear one person but not
Speaker 2: the other person, and then you have to start all
Speaker 2: the way over.
Speaker 4: It was never easy. Now it's finally easy.
Speaker 5: Well it was easy, but I'm sure you know if
Speaker 5: it's another brand of phone or some other then you'd
Speaker 5: have to right after ad call where MO typed in
Speaker 5: Touala's number, then when Twala answered, you do have to
Speaker 5: tap merge.
Speaker 2: And it may have that extra step, especially we're all
Speaker 2: android in this particular moment. But if it doesn't play
Speaker 2: nice with an iPhone.
Speaker 5: Well, the person that I called onto the tech call,
Speaker 5: help me, help me. I have to yell at this
Speaker 5: guy and I don't know the right words.
Speaker 3: And it was my phone. It was that easy.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's good to know.
Speaker 3: It was shocking, So there you go.
Speaker 2: I usually do not do conference call because I'm always
Speaker 2: worried about dropping someone or in previous years it was
Speaker 2: much more complicated, And from now.
Speaker 5: On, to be perfectly honest, I'm going to use it
Speaker 5: more often because I hate that group texting nonsense.
Speaker 3: Sorry folks, anybody who likes that.
Speaker 5: I don't like group text from a bunch of people
Speaker 5: when I want to be talking to people. I want
Speaker 5: to be talking to people. When I don't want to
Speaker 5: be talking to people. You know, I won't answer back.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: For group texts, I don't mind it, especially because I
Speaker 2: have an ongoing group text for like Towall and some
Speaker 2: other nerds. We talk about things to talk about movies,
Speaker 2: Mark Ronner and so forth and Stefan. I don't mind
Speaker 2: it because I think, for the most part in my
Speaker 2: group text everyone is relatively respectful and not just filling
Speaker 2: up your phone with thirty five hundred texts. Now, there
Speaker 2: are some people who don't understand the social etiquette of
Speaker 2: it all, but I know, and you know most people can.
Speaker 2: You can have that the singular person response right exactly
Speaker 2: or does good to everybody and where.
Speaker 5: And also they don't expect you to answer right away.
Speaker 5: That's another thing about texting. Sometimes I can't just answer.
Speaker 5: Sometimes in the mid I'm in the middle of writing
Speaker 5: or actually doing something, so I can't answer. And people
Speaker 5: have to understand that the answer is going to come
Speaker 5: in fifteen minutes, maybe twenty minutes.
Speaker 4: Some people or put it away.
Speaker 2: The people who really know me, people who are friends
Speaker 2: with me, understand that, and I don't have to explain
Speaker 2: that to them. There are other people who may not
Speaker 2: know me as well and know me from a distance.
Speaker 2: I was telling you all about this someone who had
Speaker 2: met at an event and I gave my information to
Speaker 2: and that they wanted me to do some stuff with
Speaker 2: them with their organization. And they were texting the hell
Speaker 2: out of me, sending me this this, and I just
Speaker 2: after a certain point I said, just email to Wallach
Speaker 2: because they were not respecting the social etiquette of you're
Speaker 2: sending me your texting me all the damn time.
Speaker 5: Well, you know, there's also two different kinds of textures
Speaker 5: in these days. They are the one liners one line
Speaker 5: tech send, then they type another line send, Oh there's.
Speaker 4: Someone in my family just about that.
Speaker 3: Just give it all to me, please, right, give me
Speaker 3: a friggin paragraph. You can even make a return in the.
Speaker 2: Para because I get three different buzzes because it's three
Speaker 2: different messages as opposed to just giving me one message, right,
Speaker 2: and then I can respond to the to the fullness
Speaker 2: of that one message exactly and.
Speaker 5: That person at the other end. Some If you're a
Speaker 5: one liner, just think about how many times you've sent
Speaker 5: that one line and you go, oh, no, that's not
Speaker 5: really what I thought.
Speaker 3: If you would sent a full paragraph, you could have edited.
Speaker 5: Now, if you're not using the little microphone to dictate
Speaker 5: your texts, I think you're missing out on something.
Speaker 2: All speech to text is a godsends.
Speaker 5: And for those of you who don't know when you
Speaker 5: go to text someone or even write an email, I've
Speaker 5: started using it on emails and this is not AI.
Speaker 5: We're going to talk about AI real quick and how
Speaker 5: much space it takes up on your.
Speaker 3: Phone, but it just on Android products.
Speaker 5: This is in the cloud. It is not residing on
Speaker 5: your phone. In other words, you do not have extra
Speaker 5: stuff on your phone that gets eaten up. Just go
Speaker 5: to the typing page. You see the keypad. There's a
Speaker 5: little microphone on the right. Tap that, not the one
Speaker 5: that's a little higher up, because that's for sending a
Speaker 5: voice recording, the one below. Just tap it and everything
Speaker 5: you'll say. If you're not listening to the radio in
Speaker 5: the background, you kind of have to mute. That will
Speaker 5: pick up whatever you say and correct it and spell
Speaker 5: it right.
Speaker 4: My mother swears by it.
Speaker 2: That's the only way she texts me speech to text,
Speaker 2: and I can tell because she tries to curse, and I.
Speaker 4: Know she did not say ducking.
Speaker 3: What kind of phone does your mom have?
Speaker 2: She it's a Samsung Note. I don't know which one,
Speaker 2: but I'm pretty sure it's that.
Speaker 5: Well, okay, so each Galaxy, each random phone has their
Speaker 5: own thing on the pixel. I'll usually get the first
Speaker 5: letter asterisk asterisk asha.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't have any type of profanity
Speaker 2: filter on mind.
Speaker 5: I didn't put it on there. Anybody else here have
Speaker 5: a phone that has a profanity filter.
Speaker 4: It would cut the volume of my text roughly in half.
Speaker 2: We got to go to a quick break ground and
Speaker 2: come back with you. We can pick this up in
Speaker 2: just a moment. It's Later with mo Kelly. My guest
Speaker 2: in studio is Marsha Collier as we talk about all
Speaker 2: things tech on this Thursday.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty and.
Speaker 2: It's Tech Thursday, and of course that means Marsha Callure
Speaker 2: joins me in studio. Marsha, I learned something from you
Speaker 2: last segment, as I do each and every week, I
Speaker 2: learned how to successfully complete a three way call without
Speaker 2: dropping someone on the first try.
Speaker 6: I don't think that has ever happened in my tech life.
Speaker 6: What else do you have for We give you the
Speaker 6: real deal here this one. This tip is one of
Speaker 6: my favorites. By the way, you might remember, my book
Speaker 6: Android Smartphones for Seniors for Dummies came out on December fifth,
Speaker 6: and even though Amazon had some sort of weird the
Speaker 6: logistics issues with the inventory, it has been selling very well.
Speaker 6: So I wanted to give you one of the tips
Speaker 6: from the book so you can see the kind of
Speaker 6: magic like Mo and I talk about here. If you're
Speaker 6: a woman or if you're a guy and you hear
Speaker 6: a little thing, go keep beep beep, and it's either
Speaker 6: on your person, in your pocket, in your in your wallet,
Speaker 6: in your purse. I mean, it can be anywhere my purse. Well,
Speaker 6: if it's a woman or no, excuse me, folks, Yes
Speaker 6: there's man purses too. Anyway, this might indicate that you
Speaker 6: have on you a tracker. Yes, that somebody has placed
Speaker 6: on you. So if you have an Android phone, go
Speaker 6: into settings and look for unknown tracker alerts. Supposedly the
Speaker 6: noise you just heard was a tracker. But even if
Speaker 6: you don't hear that and you suspect every once in.
Speaker 5: A while, not a bad idea to go do this
Speaker 5: because you can start a manual scan that will try
Speaker 5: to scan the area around you to see if there
Speaker 5: is a tracking device.
Speaker 2: If there is one, and I may be jumping ahead
Speaker 2: of you, so please excuse me. Is there any way
Speaker 2: to find out where it might originate?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yes, that's where this is where we're going.
Speaker 5: So if it says, oh look I've found an Apple
Speaker 5: air tag, woo, it has the thing that says play
Speaker 5: sound Now, you may be scared to press that because
Speaker 5: you don't know if somebody else is around, or you
Speaker 5: don't want them to know or whatever.
Speaker 3: But don't worry.
Speaker 5: The owner of the tracking device is not notified when
Speaker 5: you play the sound, so the sound is merely for you.
Speaker 5: So you can dig through your purse, your suitcase, you're,
Speaker 5: you're whatever until you find it. Now, the best part
Speaker 5: this is magic. Nobody knows this, but I'm telling you
Speaker 5: now because I think that's so cool.
Speaker 3: I've tried it everywhere.
Speaker 5: Take if it's an air tag, take the tag and
Speaker 5: put the white side of the tag on the back
Speaker 5: of your Android phone, and obviously if you have a
Speaker 5: phone case, take it off. It'll work better, and you
Speaker 5: will see the tag's serial number and the last few
Speaker 5: digits of the owner's phone phone number.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 5: Now this should help you easily identify the owner. And
Speaker 5: likely it's always somebody you know. It's always somebody you know. Right, Oh,
Speaker 5: my my voice is recovering from the flu or whatever.
Speaker 5: But anyway, Yeah, so this is a way that you
Speaker 5: can There will be instructions from Apple. It'll go to
Speaker 5: an Apple page when you get to about this air
Speaker 5: tag with the serial number et cetera. And the phone
Speaker 5: number not full phone number, just partial. It'll give you
Speaker 5: instructions how to disable the tractor tracker without notifying the owner.
Speaker 5: And on the other end the owner, we'll only see
Speaker 5: the last known location of the tracker, and obviously, if
Speaker 5: you feel unsafe, call the authorities. I personally would drive
Speaker 5: over to the local police station and destroy it there
Speaker 5: so they'd know that was the last location.
Speaker 2: Now, that is another great tip, especially as we talk
Speaker 2: about these trackers, which are obviously being used more and
Speaker 2: more for all sorts of reasons.
Speaker 3: We got time from one quick one.
Speaker 5: Yes, sure, okay, there was just an update on hold
Speaker 5: on iPhones. iPhones iOS eighteen point three introduces something new
Speaker 5: called visual intelligence. I don't know, I read the thing.
Speaker 5: What it seems to do is exactly the same AI
Speaker 5: that all the other phones I've had. Ooh, look it's
Speaker 5: an Apple and it says fruit at the bottom of
Speaker 5: the camera and you paint Google lens just like Google ones. Yep,
Speaker 5: so Apple iPhones are always behind us. They can't catch
Speaker 5: up for some reason. Well, this brilliant piece of visual
Speaker 5: intelligence is installed on the iPhone sixteen and fifteen Pro
Speaker 5: and Max models. This is for iOS eighteen point three.
Speaker 5: And guess what it takes up seven gigabytes of storage,
Speaker 5: which on your phone? Yes, on iPhone. This stuff is
Speaker 5: stored on the phone, not in the cloud.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, new, Okay, let me just play Devil's Advocate.
Speaker 2: At least it's if it's on the phone. In theory,
Speaker 2: the data that it collects stays on the phone and
Speaker 2: not sent out.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 5: No, because reason it's kept on your phone is because
Speaker 5: it's so intensive that the best it probably couldn't work
Speaker 5: as well through the cloud because there'd be the time
Speaker 5: gap of going to the sky yet wherever it is.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So if you have an iPhone and you really don't
Speaker 5: care if you turn your camera to a cat and
Speaker 5: it says cat at the bottom of the picture, if
Speaker 5: this is not important to you, you can quickly and
Speaker 5: easily remove this. Open the settings app on your iPhone,
Speaker 5: scroll down and select Apple Intelligence and Siri and just
Speaker 5: toggle off Apple Intelligence. Confirm turn off Apple Intelligence when prompted,
Speaker 5: and it will disable the services and they will. You
Speaker 5: won't have the advanced writing and photo editing tools. I mean,
Speaker 5: don't we have too many tools for photo editing?
Speaker 4: We do, We have more than enough to put it
Speaker 4: that way.
Speaker 3: I mean, you don't even know what.
Speaker 5: To do anymore, so you probably don't need this. I'm
Speaker 5: not a big fan of a lot of AI on
Speaker 5: my phone, mainly because my phone's been working well for
Speaker 5: me in the past. I don't need to give any
Speaker 5: more permissions.
Speaker 2: So that's it for Marshall Cary. Great information, great insight.
Speaker 2: Always look forward to talking to you and learning from you.
Speaker 2: And I guess we're going to do this again next week, right,
Speaker 2: if you're good.
Speaker 4: Okay, I was gonna say you kept me. Wait, it's
Speaker 4: like this is pregnant. Pause.
Speaker 2: It's like I think she's just quitting this show right
Speaker 2: on the spot. Car You're always good to see you.
Speaker 3: Thank you, MO. No need to keep hit and refreshed.
