  iPhone Duo wins me over, hackers bypass 2FA & how to make your smart TV dumb (191, September 12, 2026) 12.09.2026 1t 44min

  Apple launches the $2,000 iPhone Duo, its first foldable with a 5.4-inch outer screen, 7.6-inch inner display, MagSafe and Apple Pencil support. iPhone Duo software could be its biggest advantage, with apps optimized for the foldable screen instead of simply being stretched larger. IDScan confirms a major driver’s license breach, prompting Rich to recommend free credit freezes with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. Political spam texts are best filtered, not answered, since replying can confirm your number is active and lead to even more messages. iPhone 18 Pro gets a $100 price hike, starting at $1,200 with variable aperture photography, improved cooling and longer battery life. A cellular Apple Watch can help after a fall, with fall detection and the ability to call for help even when your iPhone isn’t nearby. Smart TVs can become “dumb” TVs, simply by leaving them offline and using an Apple TV, Roku or Fire TV for streaming. Infinite Fi’s $49 unlimited internet claim doesn’t add up, because any hotspot still needs cellular, satellite or another real internet connection. Rich recommends Mayday on Apple TV for family movie night, calling the Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh movie a fun crowd-pleaser. Flaky Windows Wi-Fi may be a driver issue, so update Windows, reconnect to your network and make sure an old router isn’t still broadcasting. Consent phishing can bypass passwords and 2FA, by tricking you into granting a malicious app legitimate access to your account. Changing your password may not stop consent phishing, so also check connected apps and revoke anything you don’t recognize. Tablo and ZapperBox make antenna TV easier, with options for watching or recording free over-the-air channels. Brian Tong calls iPhone Duo an impressive first-gen foldable, but says its price, weight and thickness remain real compromises. AirPods 5 may be Apple’s sleeper upgrade, bringing noise cancellation to the open-fit design for $149. An AI researcher quit Anthropic over safety concerns, warning that future self-improving systems could become difficult for humans to control. NormalTools.com is a handy free utility site, with nearly 200 browser-based tools for PDFs, images, QR codes, calculations and more. Apple Watch Series 12 improves health tracking, with more frequent measurements, a readiness score and new sound recognition alerts. Apple Watch Live Rewind can show what was just said, using an opt-in feature that displays a transcript of roughly the last 15 seconds. NordVPN says people remain the cybersecurity weak link, as AI makes phishing scams cheaper, faster and more convincing. Privacy.com can help stop unwanted free-trial renewals, by using virtual cards that can be limited or shut off after signup. Lance Ulanoff says Duo’s matte display helps hide the crease, making it much less noticeable during normal use. Apple Pencil support makes Duo more tablet-like, especially for drawing, writing and creative apps such as Procreate. Pixel’s Now Playing identifies songs automatically, displaying nearby music on the lock screen without requiring a search. Ooma cut one listener’s landline bill from $127 to about $20 a month, while letting him keep the same longtime phone number. Libby offers free audiobooks and ebooks with a library card, although popular titles may have waitlists and borrowing deadlines. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  3 ways to stop hackers, Amazon’s scam checker & AI flight price alerts (190, September 5, 2026) 05.09.2026 1t 49min

  Driver’s license scans exposed: More than 153 million U.S. and Canadian ID records were reportedly offered on the dark web. Freeze your credit and consider an IRS Identity Protection PIN. Make accounts harder to hack: Rich shared three simple ways to better protect your accounts, including unique passwords, two-factor authentication and Chrome Enhanced Protection. Translation tools for travel: Timekettle, AirPods and Pixel Buds can translate conversations, but a phone translation app may be easier in important situations. Tesla Cybercab goes driverless: David Moss rode Tesla’s steering-wheel-free Cybercab in Austin and discussed how autonomous vehicles could improve mobility for blind, disabled and elderly passengers. International calling while traveling: Check your carrier for a roaming pass or use a travel eSIM. Simbye is one option that can include a real phone number. Amazon scam checker: Alexa for Shopping can check whether a suspicious Amazon email, text or call is legitimate. You can also forward suspicious emails to [email protected]. Daily spelling game: Beeswax gives players five words a day to spell by listening to their pronunciation. iPhone blocked-number limits: Apple appears to limit how many numbers can be blocked, and removing thousands of old entries can be tedious. DVRs for antenna TV: Tablo and ZapperBox can record free over-the-air TV. Rich found the $15 Philips rabbit ears delivered consistent reception for his main channels. Sonos 27 gets smarter: Sonos is adding more natural voice control, AI features, lock-screen controls and easier volume adjustments. New Sonos gear: The Beam Ultra soundbar can use portable Sonos speakers as surrounds, while Ace Ultra headphones add improved noise cancellation and 35-hour battery life. Setting boundaries for AI: Will Cady says AI should expand human abilities rather than become a crutch that weakens them. Charging driverless cars: Autonomous EV fleets still need charging infrastructure, although modern fast charging can dramatically reduce downtime. Cleaning up Gmail: Use All Mail for bulk deletion or filter by sender to quickly remove large batches of unwanted messages. Free California data removal: California residents can use DROP to request deletion from registered data brokers, while paid services such as Incogni offer broader removal tools. Top laptops for 2026: Consumer Reports highlighted models from LG, Asus, Apple and Acer for Windows, travel, creative work, budget buyers and Chromebook users. HTC privacy-focused smart glasses: The $500 HTC Vive Eagle combines cameras, audio and AI with local encrypted storage and safeguards against covert recording. ChatGPT Finances: ChatGPT Finances can connect financial accounts for questions about balances, transactions and spending. Rich still prefers Monarch Money for a traditional dashboard. Mindtrip flight alerts: Mindtrip monitors airfare based on dates, destinations, budget and preferences, then alerts travelers to meaningful price drops. Save money on flights: Start tracking early and stay flexible on dates, airports and destinations. The cheapest flight is not always the best overall value. Google Guided Vision: Gemini Live can describe what a phone camera sees and guide blind or low-vision users to aim the camera correctly. Job scam warning: Fake recruiters impersonate real companies, offer jobs without legitimate interviews and eventually ask victims to buy equipment with fraudulent checks. Better antenna reception: Moving an antenna near a window can help, while larger antennas generally perform better when mounted higher and clear of obstructions. Internet during outages: A UPS battery backup can keep your modem and router running if your provider’s network still has power. Keep fighting fraud disputes: One listener recovered thousands in unauthorized PayPal transactions after repeatedly disputing the charges and securing his accounts.

  Save money on home internet, removing hidden PC malware & choosing the right TV antenna (189, August 29, 2026) 30.08.2026 1t 48min

  Rich talked about shopping around for high-speed internet and shared tools and tips to help you find a better plan, faster speeds or a lower price. Apple has set September 9 for its next big event, where we’re expecting to see the new iPhone 18 Pro models and Apple’s first foldable iPhone. Matthew is having issues with his Sonos speakers disappearing and not showing up in the Sonos app. Mike in the South Bay runs a small IT company and says he’s seeing fake invitation scams that can secretly install remote-access software on computers. He found that an app called Uninstalr can successfully detect and remove it. TechSpot article Shelly is wondering if she should sign up for Guardio. Rich says the service asks for a lot of access to your accounts, and many of its protections can be handled on your own. He recommends turning on Chrome’s Enhanced Safe Browsing, avoiding suspicious links and phone numbers in unsolicited messages, and freezing your credit. Gary in Laguna Niguel wants to know if his prepaid T-Mobile plan supports satellite connectivity on his Samsung Galaxy A54. Rich mentioned Cord Cutter Weekly’s big list of streaming deals to help you save on your favorite services. Michael asked about the Glide smart cane for people who are blind or have low vision. Rich also mentioned the WeWALK smart cane and the Oko app and CSUN Assistive Tech Conference exhibitor list. NFL has a tool that tells you where you can watch every game called NFL Ways to Watch. Chandler Hatton of Fairphone will discuss the company’s first phone sold directly in the U.S. and why it is designed to be repairable. Rich mentioned a Samsung Messages clone beind devleoped by an independent developer called Messages by OzarksMade. AwareCA is California’s answer to Watch Duty, helping you track wildfires with information directly from CAL FIRE. Andrew in Ventura wants to know how to delete location suggestions off his iPhone. Two places to go: Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > System Services > Significant Locations & Routes > Clear History … and Apple Maps > Places > Visited Places > Clear History Ron checked out I Like Movies after hearing about it on the show, but found another movie-tracking app he really likes called Seen It. Rich agrees it’s an excellent option. It works on both iPhone and Android, has no ads, and is completely free. One downside Rich noticed: you can’t sort by star rating or MPAA rating, and there’s no option to create multiple watch lists. Tyler the Antenna Man will explain how to choose the right over-the-air TV antenna. He mentioned the Philips Rabbit Ears, Channel Master Flatenna, Mornixol outdoor antenna, Antennas Direct ClearStream 2V or Max V, and the 5-Star Yagi antenna. To check reception in your area, he recommends rabbitears.info, the FCC DTV Reception Maps, and antennaweb.org. Call 1-888-RICH-101 (1-888-742-4101) to join in! Email your question here.

  My new favorite movie app, two-factor scams & a robot that draws your blood (188, August 22, 2026) 22.08.2026 1t 49min

  Meta faces landmark teen safety trial: Twenty-nine states accuse Meta of designing Facebook and Instagram to hook young users while misleading parents about safety. Former Meta executive Arturo Behar testified that growth and engagement often took priority over child safety, while Meta denies wrongdoing. Pixel 11’s Rambler speeds up replies: Rich says the Pixel 11 Pro’s Rambler voice-to-text feature has made it much faster to respond to emails by turning spoken thoughts into clean, formatted text. I Like Movies app tracks what to watch: Rich recommends the clean, feature-packed movie tracking app, which is available on Android now with an iPhone version expected in September. Watching KTLA without home internet: Marshall in Reseda wants to watch KTLA+ without home internet. KTLA+ is designed for supported smart TV platforms, but KTLA.com, YouTube and an over-the-air antenna provide other ways to watch KTLA programming. Apple Passwords vs. Bitwarden: Silvanna asks whether Apple Passwords is secure enough for an all-Apple household. Rich says it is a solid choice, while Bitwarden remains useful for people who want a free password manager that works across multiple platforms. Password managers and 2FA are essential: Rich recommends using unique passwords through a password manager and enabling two-factor authentication. Never give an authentication code to someone who unexpectedly calls or messages asking for it. OpenAI vs. ChatGPT explained: Neon asks whether OpenAI will eventually replace ChatGPT. Rich explains that OpenAI is the company and ChatGPT is one of its products, similar to Google making Gemini and Anthropic making Claude. Charter and Cox complete their merger: Former Cox customers do not need to take immediate action, but Spectrum products begin rolling out in Cox markets in mid-September. Changes include a free year of Spectrum Mobile for eligible internet customers, automatic credits for outages over two hours, expanded U.S.-based support and SportsNet LA for former Cox TV customers. Peacock raises prices again: Peacock Premium with ads is increasing to $13 a month, Premium Plus to $20 and Peacock Select to $9. Existing subscribers will begin seeing the higher prices after September 17, depending on their billing date. Protect your hearing at concerts: Joe asks about hearing protection after being seated near extremely loud speakers. Rich recommends high-fidelity concert earplugs such as Vibes or Loop to lower the volume while preserving sound quality. ChatGPT adds protections for teens: ChatGPT is introducing a teen experience for ages 13 to 17 with stronger safety defaults, study-focused features, parental controls and protections designed to reduce emotional dependence on AI. How scammers defeat two-factor authentication: Matt asks how criminals can get around 2FA. A common trick is to steal a password, trigger a legitimate authentication code and then impersonate the bank or service to convince the victim to read the code aloud. Free VPN options: Mike in Ventura wants a good free VPN. Rich recommends Proton VPN and also points to VPN options from Firefox and Opera; for a paid service, Rich likes Surfshark, a newsletter sponsor. Sticking with Windows 10: David dislikes Windows 11 and wants to keep using Windows 10. Rich warns that unsupported operating systems eventually lose security and software compatibility, but experienced users may still find Windows 10 hardware or reinstall it while accepting those risks. Fake IRS crypto letters: Scammers are mailing official-looking letters claiming recipients need to enroll in an IRS digital asset compliance portal. The IRS has no such portal, and QR codes in the letters can lead to sites designed to steal personal or cryptocurrency information. AI is making scams more convincing: Steve Weisman, founder of Scamicide, says AI is helping criminals create polished phishing messages, voice clones and highly personalized scams. His core advice is to distrust unexpected communications and independently verify requests before clicking, downloading or sharing information. Secure your home router: Weisman recommends changing default router passwords, keeping router software updated and considering newer hardware that receives automatic security updates. Beware fake customer service numbers: Scammers can manipulate search results or buy ads that display bogus support numbers. Instead of trusting the first search result, find customer service information directly from a company’s official website, app or bill. Incogni plans compared: Alex asks which Incogni plan to choose. Rich says the higher-tier Unlimited plan adds broader removal coverage, custom removal requests and phone support, making it more comprehensive for people who want maximum data removal. Building a smart tiki bar: Bob in Beaumont wants thunder, rain, lightning and rumbling effects on demand in his home tiki bar. Rich suggests combining smart lighting, audio automation and Flic buttons to trigger the scene, and also mentions LiquidView digital windows. Recovering a locked Windows laptop: Milton has been locked out of a laptop for two years and no longer has access to the email address or phone number associated with it. Because the files are important, Rich recommends trying Microsoft account recovery first, then consulting a reputable repair or data-recovery service rather than wiping the computer. Drone delivery expands rapidly: Amazon says Prime Air will expand from 11 locations to hundreds of cities and towns, while Uber Eats and Zipline are also preparing broader drone delivery. Both are betting that everyday items and food can eventually arrive within minutes. Police drones become first responders: Flock is expanding beyond license plate cameras with drones that can automatically respond to 911 calls, reach scenes quickly and sometimes determine that an officer does not need to be dispatched. Medicare phone scam warning: Kathy received an unsolicited call asking whether she had received a new Medicare card. Rich says the unexpected call and abrupt hang-up are warning signs and advises never giving Medicare or personal information to unsolicited callers. FDA clears a blood-drawing robot: Aletta is a standalone robotic system that uses infrared and ultrasound to locate a vein, insert the needle, collect blood, dispose of the needle and apply a bandage. One professional can oversee multiple machines at once. Pixel 11 focuses on useful AI: Myriam Joire, host of the Mobile Tech Podcast, joins Rich to discuss Google’s Pixel 11 lineup. Both highlight practical features such as Rambler voice-to-text and Magic Capture, which uses AI to find the best photos and clips from a captured moment. Who should upgrade to Pixel 11: Joire says Pixel 10 owners probably do not need to upgrade, while Pixel 8 or 9 users have a stronger case. The standard Pixel 11 offers most of the important software features, while serious mobile gamers may prefer phones with faster processors. Electronics stores still exist: Listeners recommend independent electronics shops including Marvac in Costa Mesa, JK Electronics in Westminster, Armies Electronics in Ohio and Elliott Electronic Supply in Tucson, along with amateur radio “hamfests” for components and equipment. Fake CAPTCHA attacks can install malware: Kathleen encountered a bogus Cloudflare-style verification page that instructed her to type commands into her computer, resulting in a Trojan infection. Never follow unusual instructions from a CAPTCHA that ask you to run commands or paste code. Windows Snipping Tool can copy stubborn text: Phil points out that Windows 11’s Snipping Tool can extract text from screenshots and other places where normal copy-and-paste does not work. Update a full iPhone using a computer: Robert discovered that an iPhone without enough free storage for an iOS update may still be updated through a Mac or Windows PC, avoiding the need to offload apps that might no longer be available. Hide trackers inside valuable items: Gary recommends concealing AirTags inside luggage, briefcases or shipped packages rather than leaving them somewhere a thief can easily spot and remove. Leaving an Apple Podcasts review: Jane asks how to review Rich on Tech. On an iPhone, find the show in Apple Podcasts, scroll to Ratings & Reviews, tap “Write a Review” and submit it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  How to spot and stop scams, Pixel 11 explained & my new restaurant search trick (187, August 15, 2026) 16.08.2026 1t 45min

  • Scam protection: Slow down, stop the conversation, and independently verify requests before sending money, sharing codes, or installing software. • Family code words: Set up a private family code word to help verify emergency calls that could use AI-cloned voices. • Calendar spam: Fake PayPal charges can appear as calendar events, so restrict invitations from unknown senders. • Saving old email: Use Gmail import or Thunderbird to save messages before an old email account is shut down. • OnePay legitimacy: OnePay appears legitimate, but always research customer service, banking partners, and company details before moving money. • Pixel 11 lineup: Google’s Pixel 11 phones bring upgraded cameras, more AI features, faster charging, and higher starting prices. • Which Pixel to buy: Rich’s early pick is the Pixel 11 Pro XL with 512 GB of storage and 16 GB of RAM. • Pixel Tag: Google’s $29 AirTag-style tracker arrives November 11. • Microsoft Publisher replacement: Canva is an easy Publisher alternative, while Affinity Publisher offers a more traditional desktop experience. • Verizon outage: If your phone suddenly says SOS, check DownDetector and your carrier’s status page before changing settings. • Cheaper wireless plans: MVNOs like PureTalk can save money by using major carrier networks without the premium pricing. • Instagram redesign: Instagram changed its in-app wordmark for the first time in 10 years. • Trusting AI: AI can sound certain even when it is wrong, so verify important answers and use it to assist rather than replace your judgment. • Flock privacy changes: Flock is reducing license plate data retention and adding tighter controls after reports of police misuse. • Passport renewals: Start at the official State Department website to avoid unnecessary third-party passport renewal fees. • Electronics parts stores: Micro Center remains one of the best places to buy individual computer and electronics components in person. • Restaurant search trick: Try “best casual local institution near me” in Google Maps to find distinctive local restaurants instead of chains. • AI watermarking: Claude plans to watermark AI-generated content, including text, but identifying partial AI use remains complicated. • Better than fillable PDFs: Online forms like Jotform, Tally, and Typeform can be easier for users than fillable PDFs. • AirTag alternatives: Pebblebee trackers add features like rechargeable batteries, built-in attachment loops, and two-way phone finding. • Galaxy Buds hearing aids: Samsung is adding an FDA-cleared hearing aid feature for adults with mild to moderate hearing loss. • Transaction alerts: Bank alerts can help you spot unauthorized withdrawals quickly and limit the damage. • Sextortion emails: Ignore threatening emails claiming hackers recorded you, and change any exposed password that is still in use. • Listener privacy tips: DuckDuckGo Email Protection and data-removal services can help reduce tracking and unwanted calls.

  Hotel Wi-Fi warning, delete your data for free & Ask YouTube’s hidden AI search (186, August 8, 2026) 08.08.2026 1t 47min

  03:04 — Hotel Wi-Fi attacks target travelers: Hackers linked to Russia are targeting hotel and conference Wi-Fi login systems and redirecting users to convincing fake update or security pages. Rich says public Wi-Fi is still usable, but never install software or enter authentication codes because a captive portal tells you to. Use cellular or a hotspot for sensitive activity. 10:04 — Wendy in Yorba Linda gets unwanted Chrome pop-ups: Her OnePlus 11 keeps opening game websites even after clearing Chrome data. Rich recommends removing unfamiliar or unused apps, checking Chrome notification permissions for rogue websites, updating Android, and installing the latest Google Play system update before considering a factory reset. 15:12 — NFL Sunday Ticket discounts can cut the cost: Verizon customers, students, military members, veterans, first responders, teachers and healthcare workers may qualify for substantial discounts. Rich recommends checking eligibility before paying the roughly $500 full-season price. 17:31 — Cyberattacks expose weaknesses in U.S. water systems: Scott Edwards, CEO of Summit 7, says many small water utilities have internet-connected industrial controllers with weak security, including default passwords and exposed ports. Recent attacks have affected systems in multiple states, highlighting how limited cybersecurity resources can leave critical infrastructure vulnerable. 26:56 — Google Assistant is being replaced by Gemini: Google plans to begin removing the classic Assistant from Android phones September 4, with Gemini becoming the default and no option to switch back. Gemini handles conversations and complex requests better, but some traditional Assistant and smart-home functions may not work the same way. 29:09 — Rick in Torrance asks Chrome or Safari on a Mac: Rich prefers Chrome for its extensions, compatibility and Enhanced Safe Browsing protection, while Safari offers stronger privacy protections by default and is optimized for Apple hardware. The best choice ultimately depends on which features matter most. 35:08 — Google Maps and YouTube get smarter AI search: Ask Maps can handle highly specific searches for restaurants, hotels, transit and other recommendations, while Ask YouTube can surface information buried inside videos. Rich says these AI-powered searches make it much easier to find specific recommendations without manually sorting through countless results. 38:21 — Sarah in Northridge is overwhelmed by spam email: Rich recommends reporting junk as spam, avoiding unsubscribe links in suspicious messages, disabling automatic image loading and using email aliases such as alias.email or Apple’s Hide My Email. Gmail users can also use Manage Subscriptions to quickly find and remove unwanted legitimate mailing lists. 45:17 — Roger refuses to give up his OBiTALK adapter: Roger has used the discontinued OBiTALK device for years to turn Google Voice into a free home phone line. Despite no longer receiving support or firmware updates, his adapter continues to provide incoming and outgoing calls without a monthly phone bill. 48:13 — Benny shops for his first 3D printer: While shopping at Micro Center, Benny considers an Elegoo printer instead of a Bambu Lab model. Rich says modern 3D printers have become much easier to use, with Bambu helping push the category toward a more consumer-friendly experience. 51:55 — California's DROP privacy system begins deleting personal data: Tom Kemp of the California Privacy Protection Agency says more than 650 data brokers must periodically check DROP requests and delete matching information. The free service is for California residents, uses security measures including hashing, and can help reduce the amount of personal information circulating among data brokers. 55:37 — DROP goes beyond basic contact information: Californians can optionally provide identifiers tied to their phones, vehicles and connected TVs to reach brokers that track location, driving and viewing habits. Kemp says more than 400,000 Californians had signed up, with roughly 15,000 to 20,000 new registrations per day. 1:01:39 — ChatGPT expands free access: ChatGPT is lifting previous text-chat usage limits for free users, while limits still apply to more compute-intensive features such as images and files. Paid users continue to receive access to more capable models and features. 1:03:33 — Faith in Anaheim wants to stop a daily spam caller: Rich walks her through the iPhone settings to block the persistent number. Blocking it should prevent future calls, messages and FaceTime attempts from that contact. 1:09:30 — Samsung's latest foldables feel more mature: After testing the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Fold 8 Ultra, Rich says Samsung has hit its stride with thinner, lighter and more practical designs, although prices remain high. The smaller Fold 8 stands out for its wider, more pocketable form factor. 1:11:58 — Rich settles on Evernote and Notion for notes: Evernote remains his choice for professional radio and TV work, while Notion is handling personal information because it works across iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac. Notion AI's ability to search across stored notes is a major advantage. 1:15:02 — Connected AI apps can become a productivity hub: Rich says one of ChatGPT's most useful capabilities is connecting it with services such as Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion, Spotify and other apps. That allows users to search information and complete tasks across multiple services from a single conversation. 1:17:10 — Yvonne in Lake Forest considers an Instagram MP3 player: Rich advises against buying a generic iPod-style player advertised on social media and suggests a genuine refurbished iPod from Retrospekt instead. Either way, existing CDs still need to be ripped to digital files before they can be loaded onto the device. 1:20:56 — Scott in Texas has a mysterious location problem: Multiple Windows computers at his home incorrectly place him at a specific address in Washington, even after changing internet providers and resetting devices. Rich suggests reviewing Windows location and privacy settings but says the unusual case remains unresolved. 1:28:19 — Meta AI glasses provide accessibility benefits: Rich highlights the positive side of Meta’s AI glasses for accessibility, including how blind and low-vision users at the Braille Institute use them to read mail and menus, describe surroundings, translate text and connect with Be My Eyes volunteers. The technology can provide greater independence despite broader privacy concerns surrounding camera-equipped glasses. 1:31:44 — Gig workers are getting paid to train robots: Aaron Bromberg, head of robotics at Instawork, explains that workers can record themselves performing everyday tasks such as folding laundry, washing dishes and mopping floors. Robotics companies use this first-person demonstration data to teach AI-powered robots physical tasks that cannot be learned simply by reading text or watching ordinary videos. 1:37:42 — Robots may reach workplaces before homes: Bromberg expects broader robot deployment to begin in commercial environments such as warehouses and manufacturing facilities, particularly for repetitive tasks. Consumer household robots are also being developed, but widespread adoption is likely further away. 1:39:12 — Bob Ross paintings are coming to LG TVs: LG is adding Bob Ross landscapes to its Gallery Plus art service, while nearly 400 episodes of The Joy of Painting are available through a free Bob Ross streaming channel on LG TVs. 1:40:16 — Listeners share ways to save on wireless and streaming: One listener suggests Connect by T-Mobile as a lower-cost option for customers facing plan increases, while another combines benefits from Amazon Prime, Walmart+, Comcast and T-Mobile to get several streaming services at little additional cost. 1:40:46 — Listeners debate Apple's iPhone leasing model: Some listeners point out that buying out a zero-interest lease can ultimately equal the phone's retail price, while others worry that device rentals push consumers further away from owning their technology outright. 1:42:07 — Voice assistants can accidentally connect callers with scammers: A listener says a senior asked Siri to call a bank, but the assistant dialed an unrelated number and connected them with someone pretending to be legitimate. Rich recommends using the number printed on a bank card or listed on the institution's official website rather than trusting search results or voice assistants for sensitive calls. 1:45:28 — Beware of look-alike apps: A listener thought she downloaded Google's Nano Banana photo tool but instead subscribed to an unrelated app with a similar name. Rich recommends following official links rather than searching an app store for a product name, where imitators can be easy to mistake for the real thing. 1:46:28 — A listener successfully cuts the cord: After switching from cable-style television to streaming, one listener liked the setup enough to help his 80-year-old parents make the same change. The family says the switch has been worthwhile even after upgrading their internet service. Call 1-888-RICH-101 (1-888-742-4101) to join in! Email your question here.

  How I got an Uber refund, should you lease an iPhone & the robot vacuum ban (Episode 185, August 1, 2026) 01.08.2026 1t 49min

  Rich talked about the pros and cons of Apple’s new iPhone leasing program. Rich ordered an Uber, and they charged him 66% more than the quote. All he did was ask them to review the root and fare calculation for accuracy and got a credit for the difference. Mickey writes in to ask if wireless charging on airplanes and at public charging stations could be a security risk. AI continues to hack real companies during security tests. The bottom line is you need to take cybersecurity seriously, no matter what, if it’s personal or for your small business. Julie in Riverside is looking for a portable emergency radio with solar charging or a hand crank. Rich recommended this model from C. Crane or this less expensive option from Amazon. Rich also mentioned portable power stations from Jackery and EcoFlow. Karen in La Palma wants to remove her personal information from the internet. Rich recommended California’s DROP program, Google’s Results About You tool and show sponsor Incogni. Brian Collins, Executive Director of Earth Fire Alliance, will explain how its FireSat satellite network is designed to spot wildfires earlier, track them from space and give firefighters better information to protect communities. Adam in Orlando is looking for a motion sensor that can alert him when his father gets out of bed, helping him monitor for possible falls. Rich mentioned solutions from Bellman, Smart Caregiver and even a standard motion sensor or Wyze cam. Carol in Huntington Beach says her mesh Wi-Fi system is not working as expected. Rich recommended placing the main router and access points in more central locations. She can also test signal strength using Samsung’s hidden Wi-Fi connectivity tool or Ubiquiti’s WiFiman app. Andrea Smith, award-winning technology journalist, shares her top-tested Bluetooth earbuds and portable speakers, plus how to choose the right audio gear for your lifestyle. Aviate is a Flighty-style app for Android that helps you track flights and receive real-time travel updates. Spotify now has a smart running coach feature called Running Mode. A developer is creating a messaging app that more closely resembles the classic Samsung Messages experience. It’s called Messages by OzarksMade. Call 1-888-RICH-101 (1-888-742-4101) to join in!

  Samsung foldables, the AI that broke free & the payments scammers love (184, July 25, 2026) 25.07.2026 1t 49min

  Rich talked about Samsung’s new foldables finally being a place where they are really good and polished, of course, right before Apple introduces something very similar. Carmen in Hollywood wants a cheaper alternative to her AT&T home phone line. Rich recommends Ooma, AT&T Home Phone Advanced, or checking with her cable provider for a lower-cost option. LG is cracking down on shady smart TV apps that secretly use your internet connection for other purposes. Andy Vaca, founder of GRYHAT Cybersecurity, explains OpenAI’s reported AI “hack” of Hugging Face may be better understood as an access-control failure, and what consumers can learn from the security basics companies still overlook. Charlie wants to know why Amazon no longer includes purchase details in its emails. Rich explains it is meant to prevent third-party services from harvesting that information. Sponsor: Incogni helps remove your personal information from data brokers. Get 60% off at incogni.com/rich. A Verizon roaming outage briefly left international travelers without data, including Rich. Bob in Dana Point wants to know why ShopBack no longer works with Firefox. Rich says Firefox’s built-in tracking protections probably don’t play nice with it. Rich visited Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese in London, a centuries-old pub where he enjoyed fish and chips. A caller wants to upgrade her computer’s RAM. Rich recommends Kingston’s PC scanner to check compatibility, plus enabling sleeping tabs in her browser to free up memory. Rachel Roberts, Samsung’s Director of Smartphone Product Management, joins to discuss Samsung’s latest foldable phones. Google is adding selfie video verification as an account recovery backup if you lose your password, phone or access to two-factor authentication. Sheri in Irvine recommends the OneTab browser extension, which saves and organizes open tabs so they are easy to revisit without using as much memory. John in Whittier keeps seeing price increases on his T-Mobile military plan. Rich recommends calling T-Mobile to ask about a better deal and comparing alternatives at BestPhonePlans.net. Seats.aero and Points Path are Chrome extensions that display airline award pricing directly inside Google Flights alongside regular cash fares. Jessica Ray from MotorWeek shares the latest car buying trends, standout vehicles across every category, and what consumers should know before their next purchase. Jessica recommends the Rivian R2 for an EV. For hybrids, she likes the Toyota Grand Highlander and Hyundai Palisade. Steven in Beaumont wants to delete old online accounts. Rich recommends JustDeleteMe.xyz, which links directly to the account-deletion pages for many popular services. Call 1-888-RICH-101 (1-888-742-4101) to join in! Email your question here.

  OnePlus exits the U.S., teen AI alerts & streaming settlement cash (183, July 18, 2026) 19.07.2026 1t 49min

  OnePlus is exiting the U.S. market. Richard from New Jersey is having issues getting audio from his Roku to his soundbar. Rich says it is most certainly the audio output settings. The iOS 27 public beta is here. Just be careful. I would not install on your primary phone. The final version will be out in September. Rick emails and asks for a way to watch over-the-air Dodgers games on his Android phone. Rich recommends the Tablo, a device that lets you stream local broadcast TV to your phone and other devices. Judy has a Samsung Galaxy S25 and says Chrome’s “Listen to this page” feature has disappeared. Rich says it’s likely a temporary software issue and recommends waiting for a future update. In the meantime, try Google’s free Reading Mode app or ElevenReader for text-to-speech. Switching from Samsung Messages to Google Messages? Here’s the info. Rich mentioned the app SMS Backup and Restore on Google Play. Travel expert Johnny Jet shares the must-have apps that can make a European vacation easier, from navigating cities and booking trains to translating menus and handling flight delays. Gene in Alabama has a Mac Laptop that just shows the Apple icon on startup. Rich says to boot into recovery mode using these commands. A Philadelphia news anchor says he lost $7,000 after scammers, in person at his bank, convinced him to read back a one-time code. Chuck in Lakewood is having issues resetting his Echo Dot. The Signal Ring promises blood pressure readings without a cuff. Samsung says it’s new foldables will have a less noticable crease thanks to a new display tech called Flex Titanium. Skyscanner says the cheapest week to fly this summer is August 17-23, and check out their everywhere search for cheap destinations. Dwayne is getting a popup for a search helper in Safari. Rich says to check for rogue extensions, then clear the full history from the browser to clean that up. Tobin Richardson, CEO of the Connectivity Standards Alliance, explains how AI is transforming the smart home, why connected devices are finally getting easier to use, and what consumers need to know about privacy and security. If you don’t want your online meetings recorded or transcribed, some people are adding this to their display name: “Your Name - I do not consent to recording or transcription.” It’s not legally binding, but it does make your preference clear to everyone in the meeting.

  Meta’s AI image blunder, DuckDuckGo battles YouTube ads & simplifying an old iPhone (182, July 11, 2026) 12.07.2026 1t 51min

  Meta pulls controversial AI likeness feature: Meta briefly allowed its Muse Image generator to create images based on any public Instagram user’s photos without requiring permission. After criticism over consent, deepfakes, scams and unauthorized use, Meta removed the Instagram reference feature. Samsung Messages users move to Google Messages: Samsung’s discontinued messaging app may remain on phones because it was installed as a system app. Before clearing its data and cache, users should back up their texts with a tool such as SMS Backup & Restore and confirm everything appears in Google Messages. DuckDuckGo blocks most YouTube ads: DuckDuckGo’s browser now filters most ads on the YouTube website without requiring an additional extension. It does not block ads inside the YouTube app, and users may occasionally encounter buffering, playback problems or ads that slip through. Consider testing AT&T Internet Air before switching: Susan in San Clemente is considering a $99 bundle replacing her cable internet, cellular service and landline. Because 5G home internet speeds vary by location and congestion, Rich recommends testing cellular speeds and taking advantage of any trial period before canceling existing service. Speechify launches free AI voice typing: Speechify Voice Typing is available for iPhone, Mac and Windows and automatically cleans up punctuation, grammar and filler words. It offers an alternative to paid AI dictation services, although its iPhone workflow requires a few extra steps. Use the correct film for printing transparencies: James in San Diego found that ink smeared when printing signs on transparent sheets. Inkjet and laser printers require transparency film specifically designed for that printer type, with inkjet film usually having a coated printable side. Apple’s customer service and education discount stand out: Rich’s wife saved about $70 on an Apple Watch after an employee helped her verify eligibility through UNiDAYS. The experience was also a reminder that an older Apple device may be worth more when passed along to a family member than traded in. Shopping around can lower telecom costs: A caller paying $142 monthly for internet, television and a landline may already have a competitive bundle, but should compare promotional expiration dates and alternatives. Low-cost carriers such as Mint Mobile can substantially reduce cellular bills for people who do not need premium data or hotspot features. Keep the same Wi-Fi credentials when replacing a router: Meredith in Thousand Oaks lost connections to her printer and other devices after changing routers. Reusing the old network name and password can reconnect devices automatically; otherwise, the Epson printer can be reset and configured for the new network. Samsung and Google schedule new device events: Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked is set for July 22, with new foldables expected, while Google’s Made by Google event is scheduled for August 12. Shoppers who can wait may want to compare those announcements with Apple’s expected September lineup before buying a new phone. Travel apps can find deals, but verify AI recommendations: Travel blogger Marissa Strang recommends starting flight searches with Google Flights or Skyscanner and double-checking AI-generated travel advice. TripIt and Hopper can help organize itineraries and track fares, while XE provides current currency conversions. AirTags and eSIMs make travel easier: AirTags can help locate checked luggage, while eSIM services can provide international data without changing physical SIM cards. Travelers should compare eSIM pricing with their carrier’s roaming plan because the best option varies by destination and trip length. Flighty evaluates difficult connections: Flighty’s new Connection Assistant analyzes layovers and identifies terminal changes, security checks, passport control, baggage rechecks and other steps. It then rates the connection as relaxed, normal, tight or at risk, although Flighty remains limited to Apple devices. Review statements to find recurring subscriptions: Gary in Indio is helping a recently widowed friend identify services her husband subscribed to. Rich recommends examining several months of bank and credit-card statements, then checking the subscription sections of the Apple App Store and Google Play. Common household objects can weaken Wi-Fi: Microwaves can interfere with 2.4 GHz networks, while aquariums, mirrors, televisions, brick and concrete can obstruct or reflect signals. Place the router high, uncovered and near the center of the home, and consider a mesh system if one access point is not enough. Some routers restrict network names: Cam in Buena Park wants a replacement router that can reuse an existing Wi-Fi name containing a period. That character is generally valid, but some router software blocks it, so a different router may be needed to preserve the exact network name and reconnect existing devices automatically. Smart pepper spray can alert emergency contacts: Sabre’s connected pepper spray uses Bluetooth to send a text and live location when deployed. The phone must be nearby, powered on and connected to the app, and automatic 911 assistance requires a subscription. The new ChatGPT desktop app is aimed at power users: The newer app adds computer control, browser automation, coding and agent-style capabilities, but may consume usage limits quickly. Most people who only need standard chats can continue using the classic app. Assistive Access can simplify an old iPhone: Apple’s Assistive Access lets caregivers limit an iPhone to selected apps, contacts and features, making it useful for children, seniors and people with cognitive disabilities. A separate passcode prevents users from exiting the simplified interface, and web browsing can be removed entirely. Handle unwanted email carefully: Irma in Northern California should unsubscribe only from legitimate companies she recognizes. Suspicious messages should be marked as spam without opening them, and disabling automatic image loading can prevent senders from confirming that an address is active. Digital accessibility benefits everyone: Accessibility expert Christopher Kelly recommends making websites operable by keyboard, adding descriptive alternative text, labeling forms correctly and maintaining strong color contrast. Built-in tools include VoiceOver on Apple devices, TalkBack on Android and Narrator on Windows, while JAWS and NVDA offer additional Windows options. Listener tips and follow-ups: US Mobile offers access to all three major carrier networks; a fake Facebook event invitation can disguise a PayPal invoice scam; and Amazon issued a refund after a buyer documented a disputed phone return with shipping weight, wipe confirmation and seller messages. Other listeners reported that a Mac factory reset solved persistent freezing and reminded users to know their Apple ID credentials before installing updates.

  Google’s privacy changes, the $25,000 Slate EV truck & scanning your old photos (180, June 27, 2026) 27.06.2026 1t 49min

  Rich says prices on tech products are going up. Apple raised prices this week on pretty much every product except the iPhone, and so did Microsoft on the Xbox. Rich talked about the new Slate electric pickup truck starting at $24,950. You customize it to make it your own. Prime Day shattered prices. Shoppers spent a record $26.4 billion online during those four days, according to Adobe Analytics. Rich has his list of recommended gadgets and the stuff you were actually buying from my links. Gary wants to bring his iPad in for a repair since he cracked the screen and wants to know how to erase it. Rich says: Go to General. Go to Settings, General. Scroll down to Transfer or Reset iPad and tap Erase All Content and Settings. Kim wants to know why the photos in his Google Photos library are being saved at a lower resolution. Rich says he likely has Storage Saver enabled instead of Original quality.

Microsoft is giving Windows 10 users another year of security updates. Alan in Cyprus is wondering why his ASUS computer has no audio after a Windows update. Rich says to review Google’s new AI privacy setting. By default, Google may save images, videos, audio, and other media you upload while using Search to help improve its AI models.

William in Kansas asks about Delivery Optimization, a Windows feature that can use your PC to help deliver Windows updates to other computers.

For larger projects, try an Epson FastFoto scanner to scan stacks quickly, or a Canon flatbed scanner if you prefer scanning photos one by one.

  • Google’s biggest Search overhaul in 25 years: Google unveiled a major AI-powered redesign of Search and Gemini at Google I/O, turning the search box into a multimodal assistant that can understand text, photos, video, and voice. Rich explained how AI is becoming more proactive, helping users summarize emails, organize tasks, and even recommend products from a simple photo. • AI avatars and deepfakes get eerily realistic: Rich tested Google’s new AI avatar tools that can generate lifelike videos and voice clones from a face scan and a few voice samples. While the technology is impressive for creative projects, it also raises serious concerns about scams, impersonation, and how easy it’s becoming to fake someone’s identity. • AI agents could replace routine digital tasks: Google previewed “agentic AI” tools that can research products, monitor prices, and complete tasks in the background 24/7. Rich discussed how these systems may become cheaper alternatives to human assistants, but many advanced features currently require expensive subscription plans. • Gmail becomes conversational with AI: New AI-powered Gmail features can summarize inboxes, organize travel plans, and answer questions about upcoming trips using information already stored in Google accounts. Rich noted the convenience, but also reminded listeners that AI summaries can still make mistakes. • Scammers are using AI to become more convincing: A new Visa fraud report found scammers increasingly rely on AI-generated voices, fake customer service calls, deepfake videos, and highly personalized phishing attacks. Rich stressed the importance of slowing down, verifying requests independently, and never trusting caller ID alone. • Covina couple loses $845,000 in FBI impersonation scam: Scammers posing as federal agents convinced a retired California couple to liquidate savings, take out loans, and send cryptocurrency over several months. The case highlights how emotional manipulation, spoofed phone numbers, and fake video calls are making scams harder to detect. • Remote access scams continue targeting consumers: A caller shared how scammers pretending to be Apple Pay support tried to convince him to install remote access software. Rich warned listeners that once scammers gain remote access to a device, victims can quickly lose control of accounts and finances. • Google’s AI Search answers may still hallucinate: Guest Connor Jewiss explained why Google’s new AI-generated search results could create problems when incorrect information is presented confidently. He warned that many users trust AI answers without clicking through to verify sources. • Will consumers actually pay for AI subscriptions?: Google’s premium AI plans now bundle features like advanced Gemini tools, YouTube Premium, cloud storage, and AI-powered research assistants. Rich and Connor discussed whether consumers will pay monthly fees for AI tools that automate shopping, apartment hunting, and other tasks. • Cruise internet and international travel connectivity tips: Rich explained how cruise ship Wi-Fi pricing works and why travelers often need to rely on ship internet packages at sea. He also recommended eSIM services like Airalo, Saily, and GigSky for international travel, along with checking whether carriers already include roaming benefits. • T-Mobile launches live AI phone call translation: T-Mobile introduced a beta feature that translates phone calls in real time across more than 50 languages without requiring a separate app. Only one person on the call needs to be a T-Mobile customer for the translation to work. • Samsung phone troubleshooting and phantom touch issues: Rich helped a listener troubleshoot a jumpy Samsung Galaxy A26 screen and failed software updates. He recommended running Samsung diagnostics, reviewing touch sensitivity settings, removing unnecessary apps, and performing a factory reset before pursuing a warranty claim. • Smartwatch glucose monitoring claims remain misleading: Rich clarified that no mainstream smartwatch can currently monitor blood glucose levels non-invasively without a separate sensor like a Dexcom device. He warned listeners to be skeptical of ads claiming otherwise. • Wildfire technology and preparedness: Reporter Dave Malkoff discussed how hotter temperatures are making wildfires burn more intensely and how firefighting technology has evolved. He highlighted tools like aircraft retardant drops, drone detection systems, and rapid-response logistics networks used during disasters. • Digitizing family photos and protecting memories: Rich and Dave emphasized the importance of scanning and backing up family photos before disasters strike. They recommended multiple backups, including cloud storage, and discussed compatibility issues between Windows and Mac external hard drives. • Managing duplicate photos and cloud storage overload: Rich shared apps that help identify duplicate photos on Android and explained how cloud storage management is becoming a growing frustration for many users. He joked that cleaning up cloud storage may become his “retirement project.” • Landlines may disappear in California: AT&T is suing California regulators in an effort to phase out traditional copper landline service. Rich explained the debate between maintaining legacy phone infrastructure for emergencies versus transitioning customers to wireless and fiber-based services. • Apple sets date for WWDC 2026: Apple announced WWDC will begin June 8, where the company is expected to unveil smarter AI-powered Siri features and updates across the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch lineup. • Online safety and AI literacy with Larry Magid: Tech journalist Larry Magid discussed the importance of verifying AI-generated information before sharing or acting on it. He also described how younger users are beginning to push back against social media overuse and corporate control of online experiences. • T-Mobile Scam Shield and anti-spam tools: Rich highlighted built-in scam blocking tools available to T-Mobile customers, including dial codes that activate spam call filtering directly through the carrier. • AI voice cloning scams are getting more personal: One listener described how scammers used AI-generated voice cloning to impersonate a family member in distress. Rich recommended establishing family safe words and verification questions to prevent future impersonation scams. • Cruise internet hacks and Android hotspot sharing: Listeners shared tips for reducing cruise Wi-Fi costs, including using Android phones to rebroadcast purchased Wi-Fi connections as personal hotspots for multiple devices. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
