It's really that simple. We're going to talk payphones again today because I've done some payphone tagging over the last couple of weeks, even since we spoke to the creator, Alex. I'm going to talk to Telstra about it. We're going to talk to Telstra about pay phones here this week because, you know, they've got nothing to do with pay phone tag, but what do they think of it?
And just why do we still need a pay phone network? And why are we calling them pay phones? So many questions about pay phones, don't you think? Would love your feedback on all those things. So get in touch any time you want. Did some travel on the weekend and tagged some pay phones out in regional New South Wales from Young to Griffith to
gun garland and yass i i claimed a few had a few of them already stolen back off me too so that's a bit of a downer but it is what it is that's the game um it's a simple life i lead and you well know it um anyway that's that's the the fun of the game um would love to hear from you if you've got any question about uh technology or you want to talk about cars i don't care whatever

Chapter 2: Why do we still need a payphone network?
And I was able to scroll back to photos of him when he'd be now 70 and when he was in his 20s at a wedding. Because I'd scanned all those photos and he was like, how did it know that was me? And I went, it just, it can tell from your face. Facial recognition lasts through the ages. You see it with kids today, babies, as they age. You get a bit of a crossover in their, before they're teens.
So from the age of about eight to 13, it's like, hang on, is this him or her or what? Like, who is this? And you have to give it a bit more feeding of data, like saying yes and no to things. But broadly, it's amazing how well it recognises people.
Yes. And if that's what it can do on my phone, you can definitely see what it's doing on, you know, higher end government surveillance.
Exactly. That's true. That's very true. They would have a different level to all of us. And have you done any fun searching, like just searching for random things without names? So like, you know, blue car or red plane or birthday party and stuff like that?
No, no, clearly I need to start doing things on rainy days more often.
So that's the other thing to understand is that it's very intelligent. So it's, you know, for every photo it goes, well, this is Trevor and it's a blue sky. Oh, they're at a sports stadium and stuff like that. So if I search for sports stadium, I'll see everything from football to baseball to whatever. But if I search for baseball, it does a pretty good job of just showing me Photos of baseball.
You'll be blown away. Have a play around and the next time you'll really, really appreciate it is on a birthday because you're like, hang on a minute, Uncle Trev is the worst person in the family WhatsApp group because when my nieces and nephews have birthdays, they're like 25, 30. I'm now showing them photos when they were five and six because they're just on my phone. They're in a glance.
I don't need to go digging for them. They're just there.
Yeah.

Chapter 3: How has Google Photos improved photo management for users?
Does it know that stuff?
No. I put them into the folders that I want them to go into. Gotcha. Yeah. Yeah. So that's easy. I did make a couple of notes just so that, I mean, it has a mind map. So if you're a visual person, it's too easy. You just click it open and you can see. I'm also doing an MBA at the moment, an online MBA. So I was able to sync my study calendar with the pocket. So in my MBA folder,
There's a reminder of when all my webinars are or my online classes or anything that I need or I can put in there. So I can record those and then it will summarise it for me.
Yeah, right.
Which saves me taking notes.
And have you had a board meeting?
No.
No, the next committee meeting is next week. So that's one of the things I'm a bit hesitant about. So if anybody knows of any way this works, and I've also looked at all the blogs and everything, there seems to be a little bit of trouble with the tagging. They call it tagging.
Tagging people's names.

Chapter 4: What feedback does Donna provide about Pocket AI?
Oh, damn. I've just clicked another page. I'm going to check whether they're also selling it at the major retail.
The good guys got it for $950. Yeah.
JB's have got it cheap, yeah. Also, what about this for a tip? The good guys, on any single page, well, not any page, but certainly on their TVs, and I've just noticed it's on here as well. If you look under the price, there's a thing that says price check, pay less with price beat. You click that and you're also going to get more money off, right, because they've found a cheaper price.
You're going to get it for $9.39.
Cool. Yeah, that works.
That applies to TVs as well. It's insane. So basically what GoodGuys is doing is they're scanning the market every hour or five or whatever. They're updating their database and they're going, you know what, it's $1,000 cheaper somewhere else, but let's not change our price. Let's just give it to someone who's willing to press this one extra button.
Yeah.
Yeah. They do it in store as well. I bought a microwave just the other day and he said, look, what's the difference between these two other than the price? He said, nothing. I said, well, And he said, you can have that for, I think it was about 50 bucks less. I said, sure. Okay, thank you. No, exactly. I wasn't going to say no.
Yeah, yeah. I thought it was a really cool feature of the Good Guys website that just means that you absolutely know that you don't. It's a smart one because it's their way of saying, don't look anywhere else. We've got you covered. And now your gut, for anything over $1,000, your gut's going to go, I'm going to check. I'm just going to check that I can't find it anywhere else.
