Speaker 1: All right, looks like we have Rich damiro Yay on
Speaker 1: the line because we got a lot to talk about.
Speaker 2: Good morning Rich, Hey, good morning to you Amy.
Speaker 1: Okay, So we got a Nintendo switch to I bet
Speaker 1: a lot of parents are well, I bet a lot
Speaker 1: of kids are excited.
Speaker 3: Their parents are ready to fork over some cash.
Speaker 1: So let's talk about it because it's it's sort of
Speaker 1: a long awaited release.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this has been eight years in the making since
Speaker 4: the original one came out. And yeah, tonight, tonight, so
Speaker 4: it's interesting it actually launches. And I'm really bad at
Speaker 4: this stuff, but it's midnight Thursday, which is actually like
Speaker 4: nine pm tonight Pacific. So retailers like best Buy, Walmart,
Speaker 4: they are going to have this tonight game stop Target.
Speaker 4: And yes, it does launch at midnight, but I think
Speaker 4: that's on the East Coast, so that's apparently nine pm. Here,
Speaker 4: four hundred and fifty dollars for the console. Five hundred
Speaker 4: dollars if you want the bundle. That is what the
Speaker 4: experts are saying to get because the games are pricey
Speaker 4: on this or from seventy to ninety dollars.
Speaker 2: Of course, it's going to be improved.
Speaker 4: It's got a bigger screen, it's got better resolution, better
Speaker 4: frame rate, faster magnetic attaching controllers.
Speaker 2: So there's a lot to like here.
Speaker 4: It's going to be kind of a big deal for
Speaker 4: gamers because this is a long time coming.
Speaker 1: Like you said, Okay, you mentioned bigger screen. Don't you
Speaker 1: play it on just a TV?
Speaker 4: Well, the thing about the switch that's kind of unique
Speaker 4: is that it works as both the portable.
Speaker 2: Gaming system and it can connect to your TV.
Speaker 4: And that's kind of the magic that Nintendo invented a
Speaker 4: couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: So that's what's pretty cool about this.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I heard that they're already sold out. All
Speaker 1: the pre orders are sold out, So can you get
Speaker 1: one good question?
Speaker 4: Pre orders are sold out, but that does not mean
Speaker 4: that the stores will not have them tonight. The pre
Speaker 4: order people will get them, but they're going to of course,
Speaker 4: like any other event that I've been to in the
Speaker 4: you know, many years I've been covering this, the stores
Speaker 4: want people there in person, so they will have you know,
Speaker 4: it might be limited.
Speaker 2: We don't know, you know, we don't know what the
Speaker 2: stock is on this.
Speaker 4: It could be that everyone that goes tonight gets We
Speaker 4: just don't know until it happens, so we will find
Speaker 4: out soon enough. Of course, pre orders, yes, have sold
Speaker 4: out instantly pretty much every time, but there will be
Speaker 4: some stock tonight for sure.
Speaker 1: Okay, but that's part of the fun of it. When
Speaker 1: it's something that's so much anticipated like this is going
Speaker 1: and getting in line and seeing if you can get.
Speaker 4: One, and yeah, except it could be pretty stressful. I think,
Speaker 4: I know, I know some people that really want one
Speaker 4: of these tonight, and it's you know, it's very strategic.
Speaker 4: Where do I go, What time do I get there?
Speaker 4: How long am I going to wait in line? When
Speaker 4: do they tell you that there's nothing. Some of these
Speaker 4: places you're using raffles, which means even if you're this
Speaker 4: first person in line, you still may not get it
Speaker 4: because the thirtieth person might win the raffle. So it
Speaker 4: just sort of depends.
Speaker 3: I don't like that raffle idea.
Speaker 2: Personally me either me either.
Speaker 1: I'm like, if you're going to get there early in
Speaker 1: camp out, you should be first in line.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think the last time I camped out for
Speaker 4: one of these things was the PlayStation two, which goes
Speaker 4: to show you how long I've been doing this.
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's move on and talk about it's called
Speaker 1: wis is new light bulb Camera.
Speaker 3: So it's a tricky little gadget.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they're going to sell a gazillion of these.
Speaker 2: It's so brilliant.
Speaker 4: Think about this, a light bulb that screws into a socket,
Speaker 4: but at the end there is a small security camera
Speaker 4: on it. So now anywhere you have a light bulb socket,
Speaker 4: you can install a camera without wires, without solar, without batteries.
Speaker 4: And the thing about this amy is that people buy
Speaker 4: these things like crazy on Amazon. They usually cost about
Speaker 4: thirty bucks, but they come from these really off brands
Speaker 4: that nobody knows. You know, who's making these things, and
Speaker 4: how good the security is. This is a major company
Speaker 4: and for what's this price, fifty dollars.
Speaker 2: That's not bad.
Speaker 4: And you can connect up to five of them, so
Speaker 4: you can actually have additional light bulbs that are seventeen
Speaker 4: dollars each. And then if the camera sees motion, it'll
Speaker 4: turn on all the light bulbs. So it's a really
Speaker 4: smart little system without a lot of wiring.
Speaker 1: Okay, and then does it also it's got the cameras
Speaker 1: on it, so then do you see what's going on
Speaker 1: on your phone?
Speaker 3: Kind of like a ring.
Speaker 4: Camera exactly, so you can see on your phone, you
Speaker 4: can use the app, or it can also record locally,
Speaker 4: so if you don't want to pay any subscription fees,
Speaker 4: it can record onto a memory card built into the device,
Speaker 4: or I guess you put it into the device. The
Speaker 4: only problem with that is we know amy that if
Speaker 4: someone stole the camera, they would also steal the memory card.
Speaker 4: So that's why they sell the cloud backup option, which
Speaker 4: is three dollars a month if you want your clips
Speaker 4: to go to the cloud. So if someone stole the camera,
Speaker 4: at least you would still have the clip in the cloud.
Speaker 3: Okay, and it's sold by Yswyze.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're pretty well known.
Speaker 4: They've had a couple of little security issues in the past,
Speaker 4: but they've really polished those up. So I have no
Speaker 4: problem suggesting that this is a recommendation of a good camera.
Speaker 4: I have to test it out, but seems like a
Speaker 4: really good solution.
Speaker 3: Okay. Perfect.
Speaker 1: Then a Photoshop, which we all know what that is,
Speaker 1: but I didn't know it wasn't available on Android, but
Speaker 1: now it's going to be.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Photoshop launched a version of their mobile app on the
Speaker 4: iPhone A couple months ago and everyone was like, wait,
Speaker 4: what about Android? What about Android? And now, yes, you
Speaker 4: can get it on Android. It's a beta version of
Speaker 4: the app, so not every feature is there, but it
Speaker 4: brings a lot of those like photoshop features people love
Speaker 4: to Android phones, like layering, masking, you can select little objects,
Speaker 4: you can sort of get blemishes off of people or whatever,
Speaker 4: you know, erase something from a picture. And of course
Speaker 4: everyone is all about these AI features, so Firefly is
Speaker 4: their version of AI. They have a generative fill feature,
Speaker 4: which means, let's say you take a picture in front
Speaker 4: of a mountain background, you'd rather be in front of
Speaker 4: an ocean. You can literally erase the mountains and add
Speaker 4: an ocean.
Speaker 2: So it's free.
Speaker 4: Right now, you can get on Android and it will
Speaker 4: be free during the beta period and most of the
Speaker 4: features are I guess many of the features will remain free,
Speaker 4: but at some point they will introduce some paid features
Speaker 4: to okay.
Speaker 1: And then you've got a new voice to text app
Speaker 1: for iPhone users, which what do you need that? Because
Speaker 1: I do the voice to text on my iPhone all
Speaker 1: the time and I don't have a specific app for it, and.
Speaker 4: Are you correcting what it does? All the time, like
Speaker 4: I am, well, yes, it's horrible. I mean it's really bad.
Speaker 3: It's bad, but it's not as bad as my typing.
Speaker 4: No, and it's a little bit faster. And yes, to
Speaker 4: Apple's credit, it has gotten better. But if you try this,
Speaker 4: it is called whisper flow WISPR. I will put the
Speaker 4: link on my website rich on tech dot tv because
Speaker 4: people are just searching and finding different things. But there
Speaker 4: is an official app.
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding Amy.
Speaker 4: This is single handedly the best app I've ever downloaded
Speaker 4: on the iPhone.
Speaker 2: Really, it is so good.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you. It gets the punctuation right. It gets
Speaker 4: the proper nouns right. If you say so pull it
Speaker 4: a boulevard, it will get it. Or if you say
Speaker 4: lasienga like I used to say it before I moved
Speaker 4: to california'll get that right.
Speaker 2: But this is really cool. It's free to.
Speaker 4: Use for the basic features, and I'm not kidding it
Speaker 4: is it is so perfect because it does use AI.
Speaker 2: So there's a little quirk.
Speaker 4: About how you have to activate it every time, which
Speaker 4: is kind of annoying, but it does work, and it's
Speaker 4: just try it out see if you like it.
Speaker 2: It's it's really really cool.
Speaker 3: Okay, whisper flow without.
Speaker 2: The H exactly.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: That is all the great tech advice from our tech guy,
Speaker 1: Rich DeMuro. You can hear him every weekend on a
Speaker 1: show called Rich on Tech right here on KFI Saturdays.
