This week on TechtalkRadio, the crew takes listeners on a fun and surprisingly personal ride through travel tech, aviation apps, retro family discoveries, AI photo restoration, streaming frustrations, and even a little Bubble Pop obsession. Andy Taylor, Shawn DeWeerd, and Justin Lemmy kick things off by talking about Justin’s upcoming trip to Japan and the tech challenges that come with international travel — from voltage differences and outlet adapters to keeping devices charged during a 12-hour flight. The conversation also dives into airline Wi-Fi, Steam Deck gaming on long flights, and useful travel tools like FlightAware and ADS-B Exchange for aviation fans

The show then shifts into the world of live production as Shawn shares stories from producing and directing a massive international chamber music competition livestream, giving listeners a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to manage cameras, streaming systems, and production crews during an 11-hour broadcast event.

Andy also shares a fascinating genealogy rabbit hole after discovering long-lost family history connected to Burma and India through online archives and vintage photographs. The discussion naturally expands into preserving family memories, with the team debating whether AI-powered photo restoration tools are a great way to preserve history or if traditional untouched photos should remain as they are.

Listeners also get a lively conversation about movie search frustrations, the “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon,” whether it’s finally time to cut the cord from cable television, and why streaming services are starting to feel just as expensive as traditional TV. The crew also touches on the rise of FAST TV, subscription fatigue, and the growing number of ads appearing even on paid streaming platforms

To wrap things up, Andy shares some surprising Walmart tech bargains on gaming PC hardware, Shawn discusses a major cyberattack impacting schools using the Canvas learning platform during finals week, and Justin previews the gadgets and camera gear he’ll be bringing along to Japan. As always, the episode blends humor, tech news, personal stories, and gadget talk into another entertaining edition of TechtalkRadio.

The conversation also dives into digital surveillance, AI-powered photo recognition, smart camera systems, and the tradeoffs that come with living in an always-connected world. A listener question about fiber versus cable internet leads to a practical discussion on speed, upload performance, and why fiber may be the better long-term option.

In one of the show’s funniest segments, Justin shares his attempt to use Grok to help build a Project Zomboid server on his Synology. After hours of troubleshooting, screenshots, errors, and finally paying for “Super Grok,” the AI ultimately revealed the setup was never going to work on that hardware—turning the whole experience into a perfect example of how AI can be both helpful and hilariously frustrating.

Andy and Shawn break down the appeal of Apple’s lower-cost laptop, discussing its price point, specs, battery life, and why it could be an attractive option for people who have always wanted to try a Mac without spending a fortune. They also talk about the learning curve for longtime Windows users, the differences in workflow, and why Apple may have found the right moment to push harder into the affordable laptop space.

Shawn, who has long been skeptical of AI, admits he was surprised by how powerful and creative the music-generation platform Suno turned out to be. The two discuss the fun and creative possibilities of AI music tools, while also emphasizing the importance of ethics, transparency, and giving proper credit whenever AI plays a role in the creative process. Later in the show, Andy spotlights the ASUS ProArt PX13 GoPro Edition, a compact but powerful creator laptop designed for video editors and GoPro users, with features like a bright OLED display, strong onboard AI processing, a built-in jog wheel, and 2-in-1 flexibility.

Andy Taylor talks with Sean Dadashi, co-founder of Rosebud, an AI-powered journaling app designed to make self-reflection easier, more guided, and more meaningful. Sean explains how the idea for Rosebud grew from his own experience with therapy and journaling, where he saw firsthand how difficult it can be for people to stare at a blank page and know where to begin. With Rosebud, users can write or speak their thoughts, then receive thoughtful AI-guided prompts that help them go deeper, recognize patterns, and stay connected to personal goals over time.

Wrapping things up, the show touches on Mario Day, Nintendo announcements, and new family-friendly interactive gaming experiences from NEX Playground, making for a packed episode full of gadgets, AI, entertainment, and practical tech talk.

The middle of the show dives into the growing “ownership problem” in modern tech—especially as it relates to phones, computers, and cloud services. Andy and Shawn react to Apple’s latest headlines, including talk of a more affordable iPhone option and what a lower-cost iOS device could mean for people who don’t want (or can’t justify) flagship pricing. That naturally leads to a bigger discussion: device upgrade fatigue, the rising cost of PC parts like RAM and storage, and the creeping shift toward renting everything—software, storage, even processing power—through subscriptions and cloud instances.

AI is the big philosophical thread this week. They debate the ethical and emotional cost of AI-generated content—how it’s getting harder to tell what’s real, why disclosure matters, and what happens when companies replace human creativity because AI is cheaper and “good enough.” Andy shares a fascinating example using Suno, an AI music generator that created a shockingly convincing song featuring the show’s names—cool, impressive… and immediately uncomfortable once you realize what it represents. They also dig into the fine print reality: even when you prompt the creation, you often don’t truly own it, and rights can disappear the moment you stop paying.

In the second half, the show pivots back to practical tech help with a listener question about home security cameras. Shawn lays out why he’s a fan of Wyze—especially the value of an unlimited camera plan and SD-card local recording—while Andy weighs in with real-world comparisons like Google Nest limitations and other alternatives (including a window-mounted camera option he demoed on TV). The episode wraps with a fun maker-style segment where Shawn explains his DIY hack turning a Wyze smart switch into a portable “smart button,” plus a quick look at an RF/IR detection gadget Andy picked up for travel privacy and hidden camera detection. Finally, they close on fresh Apple rumors—an apparent leak pointing to a lower-cost “MacBook Neo”—and tease next week’s topic: AI journaling with Rosebud.

From there, Andy compares camera approaches: cloud-first doorbells like Google Nest, local-recording options that use microSD loop recording, and higher-resolution setups like Reolink (including solar-powered placements for property coverage). He also hits real-life usability stuff that’s easy to overlook—glare behind glass when placing a camera indoors towards the exterior. This is possible with the Girafit Indoor, also how quickly you can save clips to your phone, and why you might not want to disable motion/vehicle notifications even if they’re annoying.

Then the show jumps into a 2016 flashback recorded this same week: a super-relatable PC upgrade spiral (new CPU means new motherboard, which means new RAM, which means… everything). The crew debates overclocking, thermals, motherboard quality, and warranty choices—plus Justin drops the always-handy PCPartPicker tip for anyone building on a budget.

Part two of the flashback brings back “60 Second Tech,” including iPhone LED flash alerts for notifications, smarter shopping comparisons when buying laptops, and early predictions about autonomous delivery and driverless regulation.

Back to current day, Andy closes the episode with a quick nod to Black Mirror (and how fast reality keeps chasing sci-fi), plus a couple of websites worth checking out.

Justin explains how pairing rooftop solar with a home battery solves the “we generate power when nobody’s home” problem, letting him store daytime energy and run off the battery during peak-rate hours (and stay powered through outages). He also highlights the app-driven control, clean/conditioned power benefits (surge absorption), and the long-term value proposition—especially for sunny climates like Arizona—while Andy Taylor and Shawn DeWeerd ask the practical questions listeners would ask (cost, reliability, real-world outage behavior, and whether it’s worth it).

In the Area of Gaming, Justin raves about World of Sea Battle on Steam (a free-to-play, grindy pirate-era MMO with gorgeous visuals and a big EU player base), while Andy reps the “I’m a Wordle guy” camp with Wordle talk and how The New York Times is cycling older words back in. They also share a listener tech joke, then answer a podcasting webcam question with a refreshingly honest breakdown: don’t buy bargain-bin cams, lighting matters, and brands like Logitech and Elgato come up—along with the handy idea of a Stream Deck for switching scenes during recordings.

Andy talks with Eric Kim from BIGO Live about how AI is reshaping social platforms—especially the line between helpful AI tools and “AI slop” (low-effort, high-volume content chasing clicks). Eric frames AI as a creative and productivity toolkit: great for clipping highlights, understanding audiences, and even bridging cultures through translation—while emphasizing that creators shouldn’t replace their voice or misrepresent themselves. He also describes BIGO Live’s “real-time togetherness” angle (meeting real people live versus only pushing edited posts), and how platform safety uses AI too—aimed at quickly detecting harmful content. They wrap with how to find the app, what monetization can look like for creators, and the big theme: use AI to remove tedious chores so you can spend more time being genuinely present and original.

Shawn DeWeerd flags reports of malicious updates tied to Notepad++ and recommends updating to a safe version (the crew compares it to other “trusted tool got hit” stories like CCleaner and LastPass). Then Andy shares a time-sensitive promo: a discount window on the Anti-Gravity A1 featuring Insta360 Camera tech, plus a newly added “flight simulator” mode meant to build FPV muscle memory before real flights—while noting the market shakeup around DJI. They close things out with quick weekend chatter—Justin planning indoor skydiving at iFLY Indoor Skydiving (Valentine’s weekend), Shawn gearing up for indoor lacrosse, and Andy perfecting the fine art of “indoor napping.”

This years buzz outside of AI was focused on micro RGB screens, including a jaw-dropping 130-inch Samsung TV that’s so massive (and likely so expensive) you really have to see it in person to understand the scale. The guys also break down why TV shopping online can be misleading, how professional calibrators fine-tune picture settings for your exact room, and why premium installs and showroom-quality setups can turn your living room into a “demo house” for bragging rights.

Audio gets its moment too, with a debate on whether soundbars can truly replace real surround sound (spoiler: not really), plus Shawn’s current 5.1-ish setup and Justin’s insistence that there’s no excuse not to add rear speakers. Then Justin steals the segment with a mini-masterclass on upgrading your podcast audio chain: a new budget mixer, the surprise reality of 48v phantom power, adding a preamp, and why his Shure mic is still the hero of the whole rig—followed by way too much fun with voice effects that quickly turns into “mommy, turn off the radio” territory.

With the former Television Experience of Justin and Shawn,  they discuss how modern journalism and production standards have shifted over the years, why audiences tolerate lower quality now, and how digital ad systems track everything—time on page, scroll depth, where you came from, and even what you searched for before your next “perfectly targeted” commercial. Segment two ties it all together with a smart look at why local stations run more local news than syndicated shows—because local content means local ad dollars—plus a sharp debate on big-market versus small-market on-air talent and why experience is obvious the second someone opens their mouth on camera.

Listener questions are included, along with a great one about the Flipper Zero—what it is, whether it’s illegal, and whether it’s a smart gift for a kid (the group strongly leans “no,” unless maturity, supervision, and intent are crystal clear). From there it’s classic TechTalkRadio: a CES parade of ridiculous inventions (music-playing lollipops through bone conduction, voice-controlled fridges, voice coffee makers, AI barbers, and a toilet computer that analyzes your… business), plus a quick detour into Meta Ray-Bans and why they’re surprisingly impressive for audio. The show lands with gaming talk (Stardew Valley gets the “dangerously addictive” stamp of approval), a quick PSA about spam texts and why you should never reply—even to say “stop”—and a fun throwback to Flash game nostalgia at FlashMuseum.org, before the crew signs off with jokes, groans, and the promise of more chaos next week.

The show also hits practical tech with listener questions, including how to digitize VHS tapes the right way (without creating giant files or losing quality), what capture gear actually matters, and why transferring analog media is still a time-consuming “real-time” process. Plus, they revisit the debate: should you shut your computer down at night — and what exceptions make sense (like Plex servers)?

On the home media side, Shawn breaks down Plex in plain English — what it is, how it works, what’s free, and why opening your server for remote streaming can be risky if you aren’t staying on top of updates. You’ll also hear tips for responsibly getting rid of old towers and CRT gear (and why you should always pull hard drives first).

Finally, Andy shows off a couple of fun gadgets — including a compact media player as a “phone-free” music option and a slick new Ethernet-equipped hub — before wrapping with a rapid-fire trip down 1990s memory lane (dial-up sounds, TV Guide, Blockbuster nights, and the Dewey Decimal System).

Tech, nostalgia, CES talk, and real listener help — all in the first TechTalkRadio of 2026.

Plus, they revisit the debate: should you shut your computer down at night — and what exceptions make sense (like Plex servers)?

On the home media side, Shawn breaks down Plex in plain English — what it is, how it works, what’s free, and why opening your server for remote streaming can be risky if you aren’t staying on top of updates. You’ll also hear tips for responsibly getting rid of old towers and CRT gear (and why you should always pull hard drives first).

Finally, Andy shows off a couple of fun gadgets — including a compact media player as a “phone-free” music option and a slick new Ethernet-equipped hub — before wrapping with a rapid-fire trip down 1990s memory lane (dial-up sounds, TV Guide, Blockbuster nights, and the Dewey Decimal System).

Tech, nostalgia, CES talk, and real listener help — all in the first TechTalkRadio of 2026.

Andy shares warnings tied to “Dangerous December,” reinforcing how critical it is to keep browsers and mobile devices updated during peak online shopping season, when older devices and outdated software can become easy targets. The duo also addresses a growing concern around romance scams, outlining common red flags—like refusing video calls or pushing for money—and reminding listeners how easily scammers can use public online details to build trust and manipulate victims.

Listener Email from Cecilia in Tucson about a dropped laptop with a shattered screen—explaining how adding an external monitor can often bring the machine back to life, and walking through common steps to enable an external display if it doesn’t switch automatically. That discussion expands into practical habits for everyday computing, including whether to shut down systems overnight, what “update and shut down” really means in the real world, and how different devices (home rigs, servers, and work machines) have very different expectations for uptime and maintenance.

Andy welcomes Linda Chorney—Grammy-nominated artist, filmmaker, and self-described DIY “rebel”—to talk about her new audiobook, It Ain’t Over Till the Indie Sings available on Apple Books and Spotify. Linda shares the remarkable story behind her career, how a comment about technology and persistence helped her navigate the industry, and how she taught herself production workflows—from editing and syncing audio to recording in Pro Tools and meeting modern audiobook standards.

The episode closes with gaming news for Tomb Raider fans and a nostalgic holiday wrap-up, as Shawn recounts a weekend of in-person gaming, board games, and Lord of the Rings marathons—celebrating the kind of face-to-face tech friendship and shared experiences that many of us miss in today’s always-online world.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/69139860Sat, 20 Dec 2025 00:36:20 +0000TechtalkRadioThis week on TechtalkRadio, Andy Taylor and Shawn DeWeerd kick things off in full holiday mode with a look at Microsoft’s latest seasonal merch drop—highlighting the surprisingly steep price tag on the new “ugly sweater,” the retro logos packed into...

The show then shifts gears into modern tech as Andy is going to be looking at the upcoming Anti-Gravity A1 drone, comparing it to DJI’s lineup while breaking down FAA weight rules, 360° video capabilities, proprietary file formats, and real-world use cases for content creators. From there, a listener question leads into practical advice on buying used computers, including what specs matter most, how to spot poorly maintained systems, and why gaming PCs often make excellent everyday machines.

Andy and Shawn react to a viral story that was posted on Reddit of a customer receiving rocks instead of a graphics card from a major retailer, prompting a discussion on recording unboxings to protect against fraud. They also share timely guidance on VPNs, echoing CISA federal warnings to avoid free services, explaining how VPNs encrypt data, protect users on public Wi-Fi, and allow access to region-locked content while traveling.

To Wrap the Show, Andy talks about returning to Adobe with the Creative Cloud Pro Suite and how modern AI-powered tools in Photoshop, Lightroom, and Firefly have transformed photo restoration, from repairing an overexposed celebrity photos of Andy and Stallone to restoring old family images. While of the subject of photos, Andy shares a CBS News story and  reminder to digitize and back up family photos after Ricki Lake’s lost memories were unexpectedly recovered at a Flea Market and returned to her.

Eric explains why he hates the Hollywood “hoodie hacker” stereotype and argues that today’s cybercriminals operate more like spies—well-funded, organized, and focused on long-term reconnaissance and deception. He walks through how overseas criminal syndicates abuse the dark web, cryptocurrency, and lax enforcement in countries like Russia and China to attack victims in the U.S. with little fear of being caught.

From there, the conversation gets very real about modern scams: AI voice and video deepfakes used for “family emergency” scams, social media “fun quizzes” that are actually fishing for password reset information, and toll-road and smishing (SMS phishing) texts that weaponize urgency and fear. Eric stresses that everyone is a target, not just big companies—criminals simply look for whoever is most vulnerable, especially seniors and teens. His core advice: assume every unsolicited email or text is a potential viper, don’t click deal links in emails (go directly to the retailer’s site instead), enable two-factor authentication everywhere, and never pay scammers via wire transfer, crypto, or gift cards. He also recommends using credit cards over debit for fraud protection. Check out Eric's Website at https://www.ericoneill.net

Shawn confesses to an expensive impulse buy: the Analog 3D, a high-end, hardware-accurate recreation of the Nintendo 64 that outputs in 4K and supports original cartridges and controllers—but he can’t find any of his N64 games. Cue memories of GoldenEye, Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Star Fox 64 and the possibility that “Steve” might still be “borrowing” his carts. Justin follows with a deep dive into his heavily modded Steam Deck OLED, wrapped in real leather from dbrand, customized with copper-infused buttons designed to develop patina, and upgraded Hall-effect joysticks. He talks about tearing the handheld apart, troubleshooting joystick issues with AI tools, and that classic “one screw left over” moment, all while Andy points out how AI is speeding up creative work—from fixing graphics to solving hardware problems.

Listener questions round out the show. Martin in Vail asks about smartwatches for an iPhone, and Justin and Shawn recommend sticking with Apple Watch unless you need serious fitness and outdoor tracking, in which case Garmin shines with better GPS, battery life, and health metrics. Shawn also vents about Apple’s sometimes maddening notification behavior and how he fixed messages going only to his Mac instead of his watch/phone. Adrian in Irvine asks about secure email in light of concerns over big tech scanning messages for AI training; ProtonMail gets a thumbs-up overall, with a side note about recent worries over dormant address recycling. Justin’s Website of the Week is point.me, a service that helps combine travel points across multiple programs to unlock flights and hotel stays—complete with a real-world success story from their friend Matt flying upgraded to Spain on points. The crew wraps with holiday well-wishes, a shout-out to a YouTube viewer, and a joking plea for any listeners with spare Nintendo 64 cartridges to send them Shawn’s way.

There’s also a fun shout-out to Chase Roberts’ new STEM kids’ book Simple Machines Made Simple, plus mentions of David Pogue’s upcoming Apple book and a nostalgic look at classic computer magazines such as Computer Shopper versus today’s Newly announced Computer Gazette.

The show wraps with a run of rapid-fire topics: Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses and the mental burden of living in a world where anyone can secretly film you and turn you into a meme, thus the Show Title; Blue Origin joining SpaceX in the reusable rocket game; Black Friday safety tips to avoid phishing and sketchy Wi-Fi; and a quick look at the Fi Mini GPS pet tracker for runaway dogs and cats.

The most epic cold-weather story involved a collegiate rugby championship at Notre Dame, where players bravely battled a massive blizzard for hours in shorts, proving that some athletes are simply built differently (and that their tech gear is, thankfully, heated!). This extreme weather made Shawn the resident expert on staying prepared—and served as a stern reminder for everyone in snowy climates: always brush the snow off your car!

Shawn and Andy then navigated the chaotic landscape of modern media and tech. They dove into the bizarre viral frenzy surrounding the latest Coca-Cola commercial, debating whether the oddly animated people and the controversial ending were a genuine AI mistake or a brilliant-if-cynical guerrilla marketing play to get everyone talking. On a much lighter note, they celebrated the joy of the Comedy Wildlife Photo Contest, which captures animals in hilariously awkward poses and is a must-see. The show then gave listeners the inside track on creative tools, with Andy praising the powerful new features of Adobe Premiere and introducing OpenShot as a great, free option for video editing beginners, while Shawn gave a shout-out to the enduring favorite, DaVinci Resolve.

Finally, the discussion turned to the ever-evolving world of digital consumption and convenience. They raised eyebrows at the newest, and arguably most irritating, advertising trend: "pause ads," which ambush viewers with a static commercial the moment they hit the pause button on their streaming service. Despite this, Shawn expressed his enthusiasm for the community of hobbyists who are dedicated to tracking down and restoring abandoned Redbox kiosks—a fun bit of tech nostalgia. To cap off the show, they covered Microsoft’s launch of the App Pack, a new tool that seems to be directly competing with the beloved, time-saving app installer, Ninite, offering Windows users an easy way to set up a new computer.

Justin dove into DIY smart-home tinkering: using low-cost ESP32 microcontrollers with Home Assistant to build sensors (soil moisture alerts, mmWave presence for stair lights, temperature monitoring for a garage freezer).

A Fun group on Facebook, IT Humor and Memes Shared a post about gaming in the late 80's which opened up a discussion on Gaming nostalgia: Making the list for Andy, Shawn and Justin were titles like Wolfenstein 3D, Command & Conquer, Diablo II, RollerCoaster Tycoon, Leisure Suit Larry, and more—plus places to play DOS classics right in your browser with a great link from Shawn. Justin flagged the Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition (bundled with expansions) and told a story about navigating parental controls with Fallout. There was also a quick troubleshooting win: an HP Omen laptop that crawled after a Windows update was fixed by rolling back recent updates—sometimes it is Windows.

Andy dusts off the DJI Mini 3 to shoot footage of classic control-line airplanes for a friends project and decides it is time to take a look at the Part 107 study options, and but realizes  licensing delays amid the federal shutdown discussion. Then it’s OS philosophies—Windows 11’s Copilot and bloat vs. the “clean” feel of Linux—before a deep dive on data recovery: Shawn resurrects photos from a 2007 Toshiba drive using free TestDisk/PhotoRec, while Andy revisits using OnTrack in past recoveries and budget-friendlier EaseUS. A wild case study: investigators recovered images from the OceanGate submersible camera’s SanDisk memory.

Shawn tells us about a site he found which first we remind of caution -  OldVersion.com for legacy software. This tied in nicely with Andy's daughter asking for a Windows XP rig with the old games installed. A possible alternative could be the website Good Old Games for classic game purchases. For video editing without subscriptions, DaVinci Resolve shines for Andy’s 4K drone footage, and OpenShot gets a nod as a friendly, open-source starter. Quick creative helpers include Remove.bg for instant background cuts and a reminder to support open-source tools that earn a spot in the toolbox.

A Listener wants to know about silencing Spam Calls. Andy shares the recommendation to use Do Not Disturb with “contacts only,” Silence Unknown Callers on iPhone, and accept that voicemail may still catch strays. Security talk covers the rumored Gmail credential chatter and a practical audit with HaveIBeenPwned, followed by password hygiene best practices: unique, long passwords and strong picks like Apple Passwords or 1Password—optionally paired with hardware keys for the ultra-cautious. The show wraps with a family-friendly pick—Scholastic’s new free streaming app (Clifford, Goosebumps, Magic School Bus)—and a quick note that Fedora is formally embracing AI-assisted contributions on the development side, signaling how open-source projects are adapting behind the scenes.

That leads us straight into streaming vs. physical media. Prices, ad tiers, and licensing whiplash have many folks rebuilding local libraries. We share practical tools for ripping and transcoding discs you own (MakeMKV for Blu-ray, HandBrake for format/size control) and talk Plex for organizing and streaming your files at home.

Quick tip of the week: WinGet, Microsoft’s built-in Windows Package Manager, can bulk-update your desktop apps from the command line. Shawn runs it live and finds half his studio stack out of date! 

Anne in Green Valley sent us a Question about Windows 11 S Mode—who it’s for (locked-down, Store-only installs) and why most power users eventually exit S Mode (you can’t go back). Andy also shares a save-the-day studio story: repairing a Windows 10 install from DVD to keep legacy Adobe CS5.5 running offline for production work.

Shawn goes full kid-in-a-candy-store with TV.garden—a globe you spin to drop into live channels from around the world, no login or subscription. He liked how fast it is to discover niche stuff (he even pulled up MavTV–style motorsports and low-production Supercross feeds while we were talking), how you can browse by country or category, and how it’s perfect for “have-it-on-in-the-background” viewing. It’s free, click-and-watch, and the 3D globe UI makes it feel like channel-surfing planet-wide

From Microsoft’s ESU path ($30 for Home, $60 for Pro) to the confusing OneDrive “free” backup catch (that 5GB cap!), the crew broke down who really needs to move now and who can safely plan. They also dug into the TPM 2.0 / Secure Boot debate—why game anti-cheat systems are driving requirements, how tools like Rufus can help on older hardware, and the real risk of kernel-level hooks. Along the way, Andy shared a cautionary tale about flipping BIOS/UEFI settings, MBR vs. GPT, and why documenting changes (and cloning that SSD first!) can save a weekend.

Not ready for new hardware?

Shawn even previewed Ubuntu’s whimsically named future release, “Resolute Raccoon,” and the team answered a listener’s webcam question—ultimately reminding iPhone families that FaceTime across phones, Macs, and iPads is still the simplest way to video chat without extra gadgets.

Andy revisited Driver Easy after a wave of online skepticism, sharing clean scans with Malwarebytes and real-world stability gains when Windows Update missed drivers. Shawn flagged a Corsair DDR4/DDR5 memory-speed class-action notice (proof that keeping receipts pays), and Justin gave an enthusiastic update on his new enclosed 3D printer: faster prints, auto-leveling, built-in filtration for ABS, and easy project ideas from MakerWorld and Thingiverse—all with filament costs that make practical prints (and holiday décor) surprisingly affordable.

The conversation shifted into new tech purchases and experiments. Matt shared his decision to buy a brand-new 14-inch MacBook Pro with Apple’s M3 Pro chip, not out of Apple loyalty but as the best platform to run Kali Linux for cybersecurity training. This led into a broader discussion on cutting-edge laptops and even the newly announced “Spacetop,” a screenless laptop that uses AR glasses as the display. The crew debated whether augmented reality machines are the future of computing or just a passing gimmick, with plenty of comparisons to Apple’s pricey Vision Pro headset.

Industry news took center stage as the hosts examined reports of Qualcomm eyeing Intel for a takeover. The panel dug into Intel’s struggles with its 13th and 14th generation processors, which have been plagued by overheating and reliability issues, along with looming lawsuits and declining stock. They contrasted Intel’s woes with AMD’s strong comeback, recalling the history of dual-core development and AMD’s Ryzen resurgence. The talk underscored how quickly fortunes can shift in the chip wars—and whether Intel is truly “too big to fail.”

On the lighter side, the team went full-nerd over Warhammer 40K—from Shawn’s first tabletop skirmishes to Henry Cavill’s obsession with the franchise and its upcoming Amazon series. The show wrapped with Shawn’s hands-on tale of reinstalling Windows 11, troubleshooting endless drivers, and finally discovering the time-saving installer tool NiNite.

Listener Q&A shifts the discussion to Windows 11: Home vs. Pro, and the frustration that Remote Desktop is missing in Home. Andy shares his Rufus experiment installing Windows 11 on unsupported hardware, while the team stresses the importance of BIOS and driver updates. The highlight is Shawn’s story about Driver Easy, which rescued a high-end transcoding PC that Windows updates had slowed to a crawl—finding 15+ outdated drivers and restoring its performance instantly. Justin explains how techs can use short-term Driver Easy licenses to fix customer machines without constant overhead.

But the big highlight comes from Justin’s own Reolink security camera: it captured a shocking moment when a car slammed into his neighbor’s $100K Nissan GT-R while it was being loaded for transport. The video proves why quality security cameras matter, and sparks a bigger conversation about Wyze vs. Reolink setups, VLAN security, and why having your own footage is worth every penny.

Shawn—who’s been living on the beta—explains why the OS now feels “built for two-handed use,” with core actions and search shifting to the bottom of the screen. For anyone returning from Android or upgrading older iPhones, it’s less about flashy features and more about retraining muscle memory: new-message buttons, close icons, and search live where your thumbs naturally are.

From there, the conversation widens to the state of AI. Andy contrasts the speed and usefulness of Google’s Gemini for quick studio lookups with Siri’s slower responses, while both hosts wrestle with where AI is genuinely helpful versus where it still feels off. Practical wins include Lightroom’s AI noise reduction, using AI to wrangle manuals and code snippets, and Google’s NotebookLM—now with interactive “ask-as-you-listen” study sessions. On the flip side: AI-generated images still struggle with fine details and text, and accuracy gaps make “AI slop” risky for mission-critical work.

In smart home talk, Shawn revisits Wyze’s value gear—cameras, bulbs, and a new palm-vein recognition lock—plus the subscription math behind Cam Plus. He argues for a simple but powerful upgrade: first-class RTSP so users can record to their own NAS and keep footage off the cloud by default. Listener Q&A rolls through texting mysteries (blue vs. green bubbles and how RCS now bridges some features with Android), and the looming Windows 10 end-of-support date. They weigh Extended Security Updates versus buying new machines, and when Rufus can help install Windows 11 on borderline hardware—while warning that not every system will make the cut. Andy shares a great story at ZDNet from Past Guest on the Show Ed Bott on steps to install Windows 11.

To cap it off, the guys look at Roku’s first projector (1080p with Roku OS, auto-focus/keystone, Bluetooth private listening), share a handy tip for listening through headphones via the Roku app, and flag a recent Plex security incident—change your password and be cautious with the latest Roku Plex app update if you’re seeing stutters or crashes.

Shawn shared the announcements from the new AirPods Pro 3 (better ANC, on-bud heart-rate monitoring, and live translation via “Apple Intelligence”), three Apple Watch tiers (SE as the budget health watch, Series 11 adding hypertension and deeper sleep tracking, and Ultra 3 with satellite messaging and up to 72-hour battery)

Shawn also tells us about the Announced New iPhone 17 family. Highlights include a super-thin iPhone Air (~5.3mm, ceramic-coated glass, 120Hz), across-the-line 48MP cameras, Pro/Pro Max video chops (4K/120, ProRes RAW, timecode/Genlock via accessory), bigger batteries (Apple touts ~27–32 hrs video playback), a rechargeable MagSafe pack.  The crew debates whether any of it is a must-upgrade and notes Apple’s limited AI story beyond translation. Vision/VR? Likened to 3D TV—cool demo, niche daily use.

Justin jumps in to compare live-translate (Pixel’s had versions for years), rave about Pixel zoom demos, and spotlight Denver’s newly announced high-tech retractable-roof stadium plan. The guys also cover the viral “Baseball Karen” meme saga (“the internet never loses”) and drop a nostalgia gem as Website of the Week: BigBoxCollection.com—gorgeous 3D scans of classic big-box PC games.

Also Covered in this Weeks Show:

Listener Q&A:

• “McAfee” pop-ups without McAfee installed = likely malware or a rogue browser extension. Solution: review/remove extensions, run Malwarebytes (ideally from a clean USB), and avoid calling scam numbers.

• Ripping CDs at home: Windows Media Player or VLC still do it; then back up to cloud + an external drive (practice the 3-2-1 rule).

Production note: Andy shares why the show moved to Riverside FM—clean local tracks, transcripts/teleprompter, smart editing—and a jaw-dropper: AI profanity replacement that sounds like the host. Justin closes by unboxing plans for a new enclosed, auto-leveling 3D printer and what he’ll make first.

Production note: Andy shares why the show moved to Riverside FM—clean local tracks, transcripts/teleprompter, smart editing—and a jaw-dropper: AI profanity replacement that sounds like the host. Justin closes by unboxing plans for a new enclosed, auto-leveling 3D printer and what he’ll make first.

From there, the conversation shifts to the future of movie theaters. Justin shares a hilarious yet frustrating story about his AMC theater experience, while Matt explains why premium theaters like Alamo Drafthouse are thriving. The team debates whether streaming at home with services like YouTube TV is now a better option than overpriced tickets, flat sodas, and broken popcorn machines. Listener Steve from Tucson also sparks a great discussion on whether cutting the cord for YouTube TV is worth it.

On the tech front, Matt details his new AI-powered home lab, complete with Reolink 4K cameras and custom video analytics that can detect pets, license plates, and even track family members around the house. Justin, meanwhile, shares his return to the ambitious (and still in alpha) Star Citizen, a space sim that has raised nearly a billion dollars from fans and continues to evolve.

Of course, no trip down memory lane would be complete without celebrating 30 years of Windows 95. The guys reminisce about floppy disks, DOS gaming, and the long list of Windows versions that shaped the modern PC era. They also explain the term doom-scrolling for listeners who might be hearing it for the first time.

Finally, Matt previews the brand-new Google Pixel 10 XL, fresh from Google’s “Made by Google” event. He’s already pre-ordered the device and will share a hands-on review in next week’s episode.

This week on TechtalkRadio, we open the time capsule and revisit a show recorded this Week 20 years ago in 2005, bringing back the conversations, gadgets, and innovations that were shaping the tech world at the time.

We begin with a look at the Magnolia Home Theater grand opening at Best Buy, joined by special guests Sergio Rodriguez and Brandon Kelly. They share how Magnolia transformed the home entertainment shopping experience with premium brands, demo rooms, and expert consultations — a big step forward in the age of plasma TVs, HD, and surround sound.

Next, Andy Taylor and Randy Malick dive into listener emails from 2005, covering the buzz around Gmail’s exclusive beta invites, Google’s breakthrough spam filtering, and the growing dangers of phishing scams. The hosts also discuss Grisoft AVG antivirus, consumer satisfaction surveys where Apple, Dell, and HP stood out, and new creative tools from Sony’s Vegas Movie Studio, Acid Music Studio, and Sound Forge, which were making professional-style editing accessible to home users. They wrap the segment by exploring the trend of Flash-powered websites and tools like Mix-FX for adding animation without coding.

In the third segment, Andy sits down with Blake Krikorian, CEO and Co-Founder of Sling Media, to talk about the groundbreaking Slingbox — a $250 device that let users stream and control their home TV from anywhere in the world. Blake explains how Sling’s technology, codenamed Lebowski, optimized streaming video on the fly, making it reliable even on lower bandwidth. From watching CNN at work to controlling TiVo abroad, the Slingbox redefined how people consumed media and paved the way for the streaming age. (Blake Krikorian sadly passed away in 2016, but his impact on digital media lives on.)

Finally, Andy brings us back to today with a look at Notebook LM, a modern AI-powered study companion. Notebook LM breaks down websites and documents into conversational exchanges, making information easier to understand and retain — almost like listening to a radio show designed just for you.

This flashback episode is a reminder of how quickly technology evolves, how far we’ve come since 2005, and how innovations from the past still echo in the tools we use today.

In this week’s episode of TechtalkRadio, Andy Taylor, Matt Jones, Justin Lemme, and Shawn DeWeerd discuss with starting with their recent move from Zoom to Riverside FM. They share why Zoom was no longer meeting their needs and how Riverside FM’s superior video quality, cleaner audio, and feature-rich platform have improved their workflow—making it the right choice for the show moving forward.

The conversation then shifts to the pros and cons of upgrading to Windows 11. The hosts share personal experiences, touching on hardware compatibility challenges, software update quirks, and the OS’s enhanced security and features. They also explore options for those who can’t—or don’t want to—upgrade, including Microsoft’s recently introduced Consumer Extended Security Update Program for Windows 10. These insights offer listeners practical guidance for making the right decision for their setup.

Nostalgia kicks in as the crew reflects on AOL’s decision to retire dial-up internet. They swap stories of early online adventures, the unforgettable connection sound, and how far we’ve come—from sluggish dial-up to lightning-fast fiber. Justin adds a personal twist, recalling his time working in an AOL call center and the unique challenges of supporting users in the early internet era. They also discuss the benefits of switching providers for improved speed and reliability.

Wrapping up, Matt takes listeners inside his home lab build, showcasing the repurposed servers, networking gear, and AI-driven security components that power his privacy-focused smart home. Justin follows with the story of tracking down and buying a Nintendo Switch 2 for his son—only to be surprised when it didn’t spark the excitement he expected. Together, these segments highlight the personal side of tech, from ambitious builds to unexpected reactions.

He shares his epic haul of new games, including Everdell Silverfrost, Dice Throne Slamthrone, and the new RPG system Daggerheart from Darrington Press, the creators behind Critical Role. The two talk trends in tabletop gaming, cosplay highlights, and how accessible these games have become—even for beginners and families.

But that’s not all—Andy and Shawn also dive into the world of Linux, tackling myths about its complexity, the perception of toxic forums, and why distributions like Linux Mint can breathe new life into older PCs. They share listener reactions to last week’s Linux segment and thanked those that added input. Shawn and Andy also offer practical advice for new users, and shout out tools like AlternativeTo.net and even ChatGPT for making the transition easier.

On the tech side, the show covers a listener question from Dave in Tucson about removing Windows 11 S Mode and what it does, Andy shares frustrations with Microsoft OneDrive, and Shawn highlights some exciting new gear: the upcoming Insta360 drone titled AntiGravity  and DJI’s first 360° camera, the Osmo 360.

Plus, if you’re a gamer, you’ll want to hear about the upcoming Battlefield 6 open beta starting August 9th—and how to get in on the action.  Andy tests out Riverside FM as a new recording platform for higher-quality video segments. It’s a jam-packed episode filled with gaming, geekery, and gear!

He describes the rustic charm of a family resort with little to no internet access—no Wi-Fi for guests and only a Starlink connection that wasn’t available to visitors. Shawn explained how he kept his kids entertained by pre-downloading YouTube videos onto an iPad. The group reminisced about how camping used to mean screen-free adventures and noted how hard it can be for kids today to unplug from technology, even in the great outdoors.

While enjoying the escape, Shawn ran into tech trouble when his iPhone 13 Pro, running the iOS 26 developer beta, suddenly lost SIM card functionality. A visit to the Apple Store led to the discovery that the phone still had a physical SIM card, but the beta OS caused compatibility issues. He downgraded to iOS 18, got things working again, and then reinstalled the beta—only to find that Apple wouldn’t service his battery issue while the beta was active. This led to another frustrating downgrade and a full device restore. The team shared their thoughts on beta software headaches and Apple's rigid repair policies.

Laptop troubles also came up, with Andy detailing a persistent issue with his Lenovo 530 that initially seemed resolved after replacing the CMOS and internal battery. However, the problem ran deeper, and while he managed a workaround by unplugging both from the motherboard, the root cause remains elusive. Justin shared his own experience with a faulty Asus ROG Strix that led him to switch to an HP Omen with an AMD Ryzen 9. He praised the performance and efficiency of the new laptop, especially compared to the heat and power draw of his older Intel system. They also touched on possible microcode issues affecting some Intel chips.

The discussion shifted to Windows user account preferences. Shawn and Justin voiced their frustrations with Microsoft’s push for online accounts, preferring local user setups for better control and privacy. They discussed how difficult it has become to install Windows without a Microsoft account and debated the viability of Linux as an alternative. Andy considered Linux Mint for his editing rig, and Justin reassured him that networking with other systems using Samba is straightforward and effective.

Andy also talked about repairing a Toshiba Satellite 655 that needed a Windows 10 upgrade and a new hinge. Instead of just replacing parts, he found a fully functional donor laptop on eBay for $20 and used its hinge system to complete the repair. It worked out great and sometimes the old laptop can be great to repair with. That led to a conversation about overheating electronics left in hot cars—a serious issue, especially in summer. Andy raised awareness about the damage that heat can do to internal components, and Justin lightened the mood by joking about “computers in heat,” which inspired this week’s episode title: When Two Computers Are in Love.

The show wrapped with Justin recommending the Website of the Week, Incogni, a privacy service that helps protect users from identity theft and online threats, complete with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Justin, Shawn, and Andy tackle the buzz around Epic Games’ $126 million Fortnite refund settlement as listed in this link for the FTC for unauthorized in-game purchases and account locks. The conversation dives into the psychology of microtransactions, with Justin sharing personal experiences from PGA Tour 2K25 and Clash of Clans, and Andy reflecting on mobile games that he plays like Toon Blast which also has come under scrutiny. Shawn breaks down jaw-dropping revenue numbers for these games, highlighting the lucrative—and addictive—nature of in-game purchases.

The discussion pivots to the shifting landscape of operating systems, as the crew critiques Microsoft’s pushy tactics with Edge, Bing, and Copilot, and sings the praises of Linux Mint as a cleaner, ad-free alternative. They explore how Linux is becoming a go-to OS for users tired of bloat and complexity, with helpful resources like Alternativeto easing the transition.

From BIOS repair using a CH341A programmer to Reddit-sourced tech fixes, the show is packed with DIY insights. Justin tells us about and swears by Driver Easy for driver updates which has Shawn signing up during the show for a special deal.  We are also reminded on one of Matts favorites, NiNite while Shawn also suggests regular reformatting every couple of years to keep machines healthy.

This five-year passion project chronicles the rise, controversy, and legal battles of Mike J. and Vince Desi, the duo behind the infamous Postal video game series.

The filmmakers—who first met handing out Clinique samples at the University of Arizona—in  Tucson initially set out to make a short YouTube series, but the story of the Journey of Running With Scissors and Postal pulled them into a 5 years-long journey involving crowdfunded production, learning of the legal drama, and the fight for free speech in gaming. The guys discuss the cameras used to put it together ranging from Canon C100s to Red and Sony A73s, which delivered a mountain of 24TB in footage, the project evolved dramatically—especially when they migrated from Adobe Creative Suite to DaVinci Resolve for post-production to have it needed to be rebuilt. 

The team dives into the technical challenges of editing a documentary full of archival footage and interviews—including chats with friends in the Radio World that provided the various voices of The Postal Dude like Rick Hunter, Corey Cruise, and Jon St. John. The film premiered to a sold-out crowd at the 2025 Phoenix Film Festival, even sharing a time slot with Platoon. Talk about epic timing!

Tad also shares insights into his production company Playtest Network, dedicated to video game specials and documentaries. With Postal done, new ideas flew fast: Justin pitched a future film on Project Zomboid, and Andy floated the idea of a History Channel-style series on video game history in America similar to The Food That Made America. 

The crew also caught up on gaming news and memories:

🎮 Justin is hunting down a Nintendo Switch 2 (but why?!)

🎮 Shawn breaks news about Mattel teaming up with OpenAI for AI-powered toys—which could be a bad idea and whether we’re raising the next-gen or dumbing them down.

🎮 Favorite Games are discussed and Matt gets nostalgic with Final Fantasy VIII and Legend of Dragoon, Justin shouts out GoldenEye and Sea of Thieves, Shawn reps Diablo II, and Andy remembers the pure joy of Intellivision Baseball with his late son .

This episode is packed with game history, tech challenges, AI toys, and some heartfelt moments that went beyond the Games.

A Perfect Revisit to the Summer with the Show that features Pixels, Plex, and the Perils of Camp Wi-Fi

On this week’s episode of TechtalkRadio, Andy Taylor, Shawn DeWeerd, Matt Jones, and S!ick take a tech-fueled trip into the wild—literally and digitally. From RV-ready Raspberry Pis to AI that's maybe a little too smart, it's a gadget-packed adventure you won't want to miss.

🎒 Shawn’s Camping Tech Survival Kit
Shawn, the Bear Grylls of bandwidth, breaks down his must-have gear for camping: DSLR cameras (because phone pics are so mainstream), a solar charger, a power inverter, and a custom Plex server running on a Raspberry Pi—because heaven forbid you’re without Star Trek: Voyager in the forest.

S!ick asked the obvious: why shoot on film when AI can fake it just fine? This launched a debate on AI vs. human creativity—Shawn’s worried it’ll steal art’s soul, while Andy’s ready to let the robots handle his taxes and emotional baggage.

🤖 AI Adventures & The Dead Internet Conspiracy

Matt shared how he’s using ChatGPT to write job cover letters that don’t sound like a robot—ironically. Shawn’s using it to spice up his Dungeons & Dragons campaigns (roll for initiative and grammar).

Andy introduced Google’s Notebook LM, an AI tool that summarizes notes faster than you can say “attention span.” But things got weird when the AI voice kicked in—cue Matt, warning us all about the uncanny valley, where robots sound almost human… but not quite.

That led to the Dead Internet Theory, which says most online content is now written by bots. So if this summary feels oddly robotic… blame the Matrix.

🖥️ Gadget of the Week: Mon Duo
Matt unveiled the Mon Duo—a triple-monitor extension for MacBooks. It folds out like a transformer, shines at 500 nits, and refreshes at 144Hz, perfect for folks who need three spreadsheets open just to order lunch. At $750, it’s not cheap—but neither is neck strain from leaning too far left.

📱 Pixel Panic & iMessage Mayhem

Andy finally did it. He left his beloved iPhone for the Google Pixel 9 XL Pro. The AI assistant Gemini wowed him, and the call screener was a dream—until he realized his text messages were lost in the digital void. (Pro tip: turn off iMessage before switching or risk entering SMS purgatory.)

📡 Listener Questions & Hotspot Hangups

Listener Kerry asked about unlimited hotspot connections. Spoiler: “unlimited” is a marketing word, not a magical reality. After a certain point, your speed drops to potato quality.
S!ick chimed in with his streaming wisdom, and the team chatted about ditching cable for cheaper fiber services like Ting or Wyyerd—because who doesn’t want to pay less to buffer more?

🎬 Ending with LOST & Laughs

Finally, the team got nostalgic about LOST being back on Netflix and the Documentary Getting Lost available to Rent or Purchase on Demand. If you’re wondering whether it's worth the re-watch—yes, but maybe keep a whiteboard handy to track the timelines.

Tune in for tech talk with personality, perspective, and just the right amount of pixel-powered sarcasm.

They discuss the unveiling of a new iOS with updates across iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS when available. Apple briefly touched on AI, emphasizing on-device processing for enhanced privacy. Shawn notes the integration of ChatGPT in several apps and points out Apple’s surprising openness in offering APIs for developers to tap into AI functionality. A major design update—dubbed "liquid glass"—was also revealed.

The hosts explore the new UI changes, including rounded buttons, a persistent bottom search bar, and new notification groupings. The camera app also gets a refresh with a simplified interface and more transparent menu backgrounds, focusing on usability rather than hardware upgrades.

They then shift to smart home tech, discussing Wyze’s new in-store partnership with Costco  and two new camera products. First, a floodlight camera system with three lights and a camera priced under $100. Second, the Wyze Bulb Cam—a 2K camera built into a light bulb that screws into standard fixtures and can pair with accessory bulbs for synchronized lighting. Shawn shares his experience with Wyze’s Cam Plus service, which offers unlimited cloud recording for $99/year.

Cybersecurity expert and author Tom Arnold joins the show to discuss his book The Digital Detective: First Intervention. Drawing from his background as a police officer and fraud investigator, Tom explores the evolution of cybercrime and emphasizes the importance of educating parents on digital dangers. His motivation to write stemmed from real-life incidents—including his grandson’s exposure to a dangerous situation in an online game and a parent’s admission that talking about cybersecurity is harder than talking about sex. His book series aims to teach digital safety through engaging stories featuring teen protagonists, with the next installment tackling sextortion and human trafficking.

Tom and Andy highlight the risks of unsupervised online interactions, comparing giving a child a tablet to leaving them alone at a playground. They stress the importance of knowing who your kids are talking to online—even if it’s someone they "know." The discussion underscores that parental controls aren’t foolproof and that open, ongoing communication is key. Tom and Andy also warn about fringe groups using games for recruitment and the use of AI to generate fake images for sextortion. Andy reminds listeners that Tom’s book is available on Amazon and through other booksellers including The Apple Bookstore.

Also on the show, music journalist and author Selena Fragassi joins Andy to talk about her new book, Alanis: 30 Years of Jagged Little Pill from Quarto Publishing. The book dives into Alanis Morissette’s music and career, as well as the challenges of navigating the music industry in the '80s and '90s. Andy reflects on how passionate storytelling has become more accessible with Technology for other authors through self-publishing and anybody with a passion can realistically put together a book. 

Rounding out the show, Andy and Shawn chat about upcoming media releases, including the new Postal Video Game documentary, a Happy Gilmore sequel on Netflix, and a rumored Firefly reboot on Disney+. They wrap up with Father's Day wishes, birthday shoutouts for Shawn, and his upcoming camping plans.

Andy flies solo this week while Shawn enjoys a well-earned, tech-savvy escape to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Kicking things off, Andy tackles a listener question from Cecilia, whose mom got locked out of her iPhone after too many failed passcode attempts. He shares some helpful tips for recovering a locked iPhone—yes, even without the iCloud login—and explains when it makes sense to reset the device. This can be a experience that is not always solved overnight and could require a visit to an Apple Store. 

Then it’s time to talk subscriptions: Andy digs into the rise of Software as a Service (SaaS) and how companies like Intuit (Quickbooks) and Microsoft (Office) have moved from one-time software purchases to ongoing subscriptions—raising the question, what does that mean for small business users and the consumer on a tight budget however needing the software to get the job done?

Andy found after building a new machine to replace a Windows 10 Setup in the Studio and upgrading to Windows 11, he was not able to install the still powerful Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection 5.5. With the Activation Servers turned off, this can cause problems for those wanted to run this software which still works great and force an option to subscribe to The Adobe Creative Cloud. Instead, Andy explored some fantastic software alternatives. Sites like AlternativeTo.net help users find free or affordable replacements for popular programs like Photoshop, Adobe Audition, Word and more. He gives shout-outs to trusted tools like GIMP, Audacity, Reaper, and even Pro Tools Intro which shipped with his Mixer, which surprised him with its power and polish. There are solutions and while Software as a Service may have you feeling like you are caught in a Netflix/Hulu type streaming war, the Alternative to Subscribe to some of these services could reap benefits for the innovation behind the software. We have seen this with Generative Fill in Adobe Photoshop CC and other new features.

In gear talk, Andy shares his experience with the Fifine AM8 USB/XLR mic—an impressive budget find with RGB flair—and compares mixers, ultimately recommending the Mackie ProFX6v3 for its solid performance and versatility. He also teases a future review of the Shure SM7dB, the modern take on the legendary SM7B mic, now with built-in active pre-amplifier.

To wrap up the show, it’s the Website of the Week—and this one’s just for fun: TheUselessWeb.com. One click takes you to a completely random and often ridiculous website. From the “Long Doge Challenge” to judging hilariously real books by their covers (like How to Talk to Your Cat About Gun Safety), it’s a rabbit hole of time-wasting gold.

Andy Taylor and Shawn DeWeerd dive into a tech-filled episode with Shawn sharing his role as Technical Director for the Fischoff National Chamber Music Society competition, where he managed the live YouTube stream of performances. The duo also chatted about the upcoming musical follow up to Wicked and the announcement of a new trailer, which will debut during a re-release of the original film.

Shawn explored the Wyze camera’s RTSP streaming platform and its potential costs, recommending the Cam Plus Unlimited plan for multi-camera setups. He also broke down the benefits of lithium iron phosphate batteries—lighter, longer-lasting, but requiring upgraded components like solar controllers and breaker boxes. He plans to double his battery storage for better camping power, confirming his solar panels and gas generator can already handle overnight usage.

Andy asked whether Shawn has an Insta360 Camera mounted on his trailer for immersive views and potential security use. The team also discussed the DJI Mavic Pro 4, boasting a 100MP Hasselblad camera, triple-camera 360° rotation, and 6K 60fps HDR capabilities. While not officially available in the U.S. due to tariffs, a few retailers seem to have them. They discussed the lack of competitive U.S.-made drones in the consumer market.

A listener named Rick from Sahuarita wrote in about learning tech. Andy and Shawn suggested focusing on one area—like cameras, drones, or computers—and using platforms like YouTube, Udemy, and Khan Academy. Andy shared how he learned by taking apart PCs, while Shawn recommended building a system and installing Linux for hands-on experience. They also tackled the growing trend of companies revoking lifetime subscriptions, like VPN Secure. A Article from ARSTechnica highlighted one of these issues. Both agreed this will become more common with the shift to SaaS models, where ongoing development often leaves older one-time purchases behind.

Finally, Shawn wrapped things up with his latest DIY project—modifying an old Playskool flashlight with a 3.7-volt 10-watt LED, USB-C charger, and a heat sink to prevent overheating. It was a bright success (pun intended) and just the start of more hands-on builds to come.

Andy Taylor and Shawn DeWeerd dive into a tech-filled episode with Shawn sharing his role as Technical Director for the Fischoff National Chamber Music Society competition, where he managed the live YouTube stream of performances. The duo also chatted about the upcoming musical follow up to Wicked and the announcement of a new trailer, which will debut during a re-release of the original film.

Shawn explored the Wyze camera’s RTSP streaming platform and its potential costs, recommending the Cam Plus Unlimited plan for multi-camera setups. He also broke down the benefits of lithium iron phosphate batteries—lighter, longer-lasting, but requiring upgraded components like solar controllers and breaker boxes. He plans to double his battery storage for better camping power, confirming his solar panels and gas generator can already handle overnight usage.

Andy asked whether Shawn has an Insta360 Camera mounted on his trailer for immersive views and potential security use. The team also discussed the DJI Mavic Pro 4, boasting a 100MP Hasselblad camera, triple-camera 360° rotation, and 6K 60fps HDR capabilities.

Shawn kicks things off with his experience setting up Wyze lighting in his office and TV room, sharing how to configure lighting grids and create custom scenes. Andy follows with a frustrating story about ordering a product online and not receiving the full shipment, sparking a broader conversation about safe online shopping practices—especially what not to use when making a purchase. He also talks about an experiment gone wrong: ordering a $99 laptop from a sketchy vendor on social media called “BuyBest.” Spoiler alert—it turned out to be a scam. Justin jokes he nearly fell for a similar trap from a site called “Nozama.”

The conversation shifts to Smart TVs, where Justin noticed a huge spike in DNS traffic on his Raspberry PiHole after hooking up his new TV—a good reminder to keep an eye on what your devices are really doing online.

Andy shares a favorite recent gadget, the Retekess V115 Portable Radio. It’s a compact AM/FM/Shortwave receiver that also plays MP3s from a TF card and can record over-the-air broadcasts—all powered by a rechargeable battery. That inspires Shawn to talk about getting into amateur radio and the helpful resources available at arrl.org and radioreference.com for exploring local repeater activity.

Andy then compares keyboard options for tablets, including a Samsung model and the versatile Logitech K480. The discussion takes a turn to the Apple ecosystem, with a look at how Mac hardware has evolved over the years. Justin brings up his SecretLabs chair, which had issues with the armrest but came with stellar customer service that left him impressed.

Thinking about upgrading his system, Justin wrestles with the choice between Intel and AMD, leading to a group discussion on what to consider when building or refreshing a PC. Shawn recommends using CPUID to learn more about your current hardware, while Justin suggests AIDA64 as another helpful tool. For motherboards, Justin shares his preference for ASRock based on his own positive experience.

Andy wraps things up with a warning about the growing trend of phishing and email harvesting, recommending a visit to haveibeenpwned.com to see if your data has been compromised. And in true TechtalkRadio fashion, the guys cap it off with a fun but serious discussion on how not to clean your PC. From dishwashers to power washers, and even wet/dry vacs, they share the dos and don’ts of keeping your rig clean—emphasizing that compressed air, while popular, still comes with its own considerations.

It's a packed episode with practical advice, a few laughs, and real-world tech talk!

Justin tells us a about his decision to buy his son Eric a gaming laptop, the Acer Predator, which has a 4,060 RTX and 16GB RAM. Justin also installed parental control software called Qustodio to monitor Eric's online activities. However, Eric was more interested in watching YouTube videos on the new laptop than playing games. The guys share some possible games and while Doom and Wolfenstein are mentioned one that Andy wants to try is Power House Washing, a Simulation. Justin also mentioned a YouTube channel called Let's Game It Out, which they both enjoy watching.

Andy discussed a couplle of products he recently took a look at: the Asus Rog Flow Z13, a gaming laptop/tablet with AMD 395, and the Epson RR600W, a rapid receipt scanner. Andy shared his positive experience with the Asus product, highlighting its performance and features. He also demonstrated the Epson scanner on live TV but encountered issues due to Andy forgetting to plug a cord in! The Epson scanner can scan up to 100 receipts per minute, front and back, and can also scan photos at 600 dpi.

In a segment recorded earlier, Andy welcomes Author Titania Jordan to the show to discuss the challenges of internet safety for children. Titania, the CMO and Chief Parent Officer at Bark Technologies, shared her experiences as a parent and her insights from her book "Parenting in a Tech World". She emphasized the importance of staying updated with the latest information on internet safety, as the situation has evolved significantly since her first book was published in 2020.  Andy and Titania discussed the challenges of parenting in the digital age, particularly with regards to children's use of smartphones and social media. Titania emphasized the importance of being proactive and not waiting until a crisis arises. They also discussed the need for parents to be aware of the constantly evolving language and emojis used by teenagers, and the potential dangers of allowing strangers to communicate with children through apps and games. Titania recommended using safer alternatives such as the Bark app or Bark phone for children's devices, and advised parents to delay giving their children access to all devices and apps until they are ready. Her latest title is available at Amazon. 

Justin, Andy, and Shawn regroup and share the Website of the Week, Lazyfly dot me, which is a challenging game very basic in graphics but fun.

A recent discussion with a filmmaker has Andy wondering about the use of Davinci Resolve, a video editing software. Shawn recommended Davinci Resolve as a top three video editing software, alongside Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere. He explained that the free version of Davinci Resolve is sufficient for most needs, and the studio version, which costs around $300, offers additional features like advanced noise reduction and higher resolutions and amazing color correction. 

A Listener Question asked about the Disk Defragmenter. Matt explains that defragmentation is no longer necessary for modern solid-state drives (SSDs). He describes how defragmentation was used on older hard disk drives to reorganize fragmented data, which could take hours or days. For SSDs, a process called trimming is now automatically performed by the operating system. Matt warns against manually defragmenting SSDs as it can significantly reduce their lifespan. He advises that users with SSDs don't need to worry about defragmentation, as the system handles optimization automatically.

Another listener question wondered about the challenges of switching to the Apple platform, particularly for those unfamiliar with Mac OS. Shawn highlighted the learning curve and potential frustration for those new to the system. Matt offered up a great suggestion as well,  Apple stores may offer free classes to help users adapt and recommends checking into those while Andy recommended exploring local user groups and libraries for additional support.

The hosts discuss the upcoming segment about the World Video Game Hall of Fame finalists for 2025, as announced by the Museum of Play. They reminisce about playing Goldeneye in 1998, particularly the popular "slappers only" mode and the controversial character Odd Job. The segment will cover the list of nominees and discuss which games the hosts believe should be inducted, with only three games set to be selected for the Hall of Fame. They debated which games should be inducted into the Hall of Fame, with Goldeneye 007, Quake, Angry Birds, Tamagotchi, and Frogger being top contenders. The team also discussed the influence of games like Age of Empires and Call of Duty on the gaming industry. They agreed that these games had a significant impact on gaming culture and should be considered for induction.

The hosts discuss their favorite and most influential video games. Matt mentions Legend of Dragoon and Final Fantasy 8, praising Legend of Dragoon for its innovative combat system and storytelling. Shawn highlights Suikoden as his favorite JRPG, mentioning its recent remaster. Andy recalls Eamon Adventure, a text-based game on Apple II, as his first computer game. They also reminisce about arcade games, with Shawn mentioning the 4-player X-Men game and Matt recalling Battletoads. The conversation ends with a brief discussion about the rarity of Legend of Dragoon and anticipation for a new Doom game.

The conversation then moves to other comedians they've seen live or admire, including Brad Williams, The Late Mitch Hedberg, and Jeff Arcuri. They reflect on how social media has given more comedians exposure. The group also fondly remembers the Blue Collar Comedy Tour and imagines a hypothetical Hallmark movie featuring those comedians. We lose Justin in the discussion after telling about a great memory of his dad getting a goose from Larry the Cable Guy!

After getting to put it to the test, Shawn discusses his experience with the Epson FastPhoto FF-680W scanner, which he purchased after Andy demonstrated it on News13. The scanner has significantly sped up Shawn's photo digitization project, allowing him to scan 3,800 photos in a -a rate of one photo per second at 600 DPI. The device offers features like automatic editing, front and back scanning, and batch processing. While Shawn found the auto-edit feature inconsistent, he appreciates the scanner's ability to capture handwritten notes on the backs of photos, which Matt and Andy agree is valuable for preserving family history. He did note it is important to clean the scanning surface frequently to avoid jams and residue from plastic sleeves and film emulsion. .

Andy discussed the forthcoming end of life for Windows 10 in October, with Windows 11 being the next iteration. He noted that end of life does not mean a computer will stop working, but that users will no longer receive security updates. Andy shared his recent experience with Windows 11's networking issues and how he resolved them. If you upgrade or get a new system what could be done with the old computer? Matt suggesting that old computers could be repurposed or donated. Andy decides to upgrade the Studio Computer and buys an Intel Processor which shipped with the CPU Fan however the Pre-Applied Thermal paste has Andy wondering of its usefullness. All recommend to clean that off the CPU and apply new Paste. Justin advised on the best way to apply thermal paste to a new CPU, and Shawn shared his preferred method, The Dot Method. Finally, the team discussed the ease of using Linux as an alternative to Windows, with Matt recommending Mint, Arch, and Ubuntu as accessible options.

Listener Ricky decides to Build his own but wonders if a Graphics and Sound Card is needed. Matt and Justin clarified that a sound card is not required for general use, but a graphics card is recommended for gaming. They also advised against using a "Old School" spinning hard drive for storage, as M.2 or SSD drives are significantly faster and less prone to failure. Matt also emphasized the importance of proper installation and handling of computer components to avoid damage. Andy shared info about the new Samsung's M.2 drive which operates about 14.8Gbps, which Justin confirmed was a significant upgrade. The team agreed that using a faster storage option would provide better performance and a longer lifespan.

A Humerous wrap on the show as Matt shares that Google's Pixel devices have updated their emergency SOS feature to require five button presses and confirmation before activation. This change was implemented after an incident where a user's sensitive photos were accidentally shared through the SOS system sending to family and co-workers. The group discusses the implications of this update and jokes about the potential embarrassment of such a situation thus the name for this weeks show, SOS - Send Me Slacks!

Shawn also stresses the importance of responsible drone usage, reminding listeners to respect privacy and airspace laws.

The conversation takes off with the latest GPU madness, as the newly launched RTX 5090 and 5080 have gamers camping outside stores in a frenzy. Are buyers snagging them for personal use, or is this just another scalping fiasco? The team draws parallels to console shortages and even Pokémon card restrictions, debating how retailers are handling high-demand products.

Shifting gears to AI, the crew dives into DeepSeek and the growing role of AI in content creation. Matt highlights a wild case of a writer using ChatGPT to generate five movie scripts with only three edits needed. But is Hollywood doomed? Justin argues that most audiences don’t care who’s behind the script—as long as the story and actors deliver. The debate even touches on actors' likeness rights, with throwbacks to Crispin Glover’s legal battle over Back to the Future 2 and Robin Williams' famous Disney dispute after Aladdin.

A listener emails in with a classic dilemma: One big monitor or two smaller ones? Matt breaks it down—if color accuracy matters, go with a high-quality monitor. If not, a large-screen TV might do the trick. The team discusses setups, from Andy’s 39-inch curved LG to Shawn and Justin’s multi-monitor rigs, even bringing up Samsung’s Odyssey Ark 55-inch ultra-wide as a crazy alternative which can even display as 4 monitor screens!

Finally, Andy goes bargain hunting, scoring a $5 USB hub from a discount store. The catch? It’s from an unknown brand, made in Thailand, and has potential security risks. Shawn, Matt, and Justin voice concerns, recalling an FBI case where hacked cables were found stealing data. Will Andy’s find be a deal or a disaster? He promises to crack it open and report back next week!

Shawn showcased the Dji Power 1000, a portable solar generator he recently purchased. He highlighted its features, including a continuous output of 2,200 watts and as Andy wondered capable of powering a freezer for several hours. Shawn also mentioned that the device could be charged using solar panels as well as plugging in to a power source. A listener question regarding the possibility of networking six computers in two offices and a lobby area. Justin suggested that a layer 2 or 3 switch would be sufficient for this setup, as the Internet provider's modem already acts as a layer 3 gateway/router. Andy questioned whether a managed switch was necessary, and Justin explained that it would be useful for isolating devices on the network, such as security cameras and voip systems.  Shawn reminds us that In terms of setting up a network for a business, DIY can be fun and a learning experience however hiring a professional to design and install the network would be advisable.

Andy discussed the recent Windows 11 update, which has removed Wordpad and caused issues with file sharing. He also mentioned that Microsoft now has an upgrade path for Windows 10 users to Windows 11 that previously did not fit in the upgrade requirements, this despite warnings of potential system crashes and security issues. Shawn shared his experience with his in-laws' laptop, which is not compatible with Windows 11 due to its processor. He plans to help them choose a new laptop. Another great listener question is called in about recommended brands for desktop speakers. Justin recommended the Logitech 2.1 system, while Shawn suggested a JBL Clip 3 Bluetooth speaker. Andy added that one might need to invest in a Bluetooth key if their desktop doesn't have Bluetooth support. 


Justin discussed his car issues, specifically with his 2017 Ford Explorer's head unit failing. He mentioned that the head unit controls various functions including GPS, backup camera, climate, radio, and door locks. Justin was considering selling the car before the head unit fails completely. He also mentioned that his wife, Misa, is considering buying a 2025 Toyota Corolla, a plug-in hybrid with intelligent all-wheel drive.  As a close to the show Andy, Shawn, and Justin discussed the issue of unauthorized charges and loot box purchases in the game Fortnite. Andy informed the group that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is offering refunds to those who were charged for in-game currency or items they didn't intend to buy between 2017 and 2022. A link for that FTC website was mentioned with the reminder of claims needing to be filed by January 10th 2025. ]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/63285950Thu, 12 Dec 2024 16:34:13 +0000TechtalkRadioFor this Weeks TechtalkRadio, Andy, Shawn, and Justin discussed their experiences with cryptocurrency, particularly Bitcoin.

The conversation then shifted to social media platforms, with Andy and Justin discussing their experiences with Twitter and the new platform Blue Sky. They expressed their dissatisfaction with the political nature of these platforms and their desire for a more curated feed. Justin mentioned that he has successfully curated his X feed to avoid political content. The team also discussed their presence on Facebook and Blue Sky, encouraging listeners to connect with them on these platforms.

Another listener question is handled, and it involved digitizing old VHS tapes and putting them of DVD. Shawn recommended not burning them to DVD. Shawn recommended using Legacy Box for digitizing old VHS tapes into a digital format, as DVDs are just taking up space. Justin suggested that the digitized content could be played on a TV via a USB slot. Shawn also suggested checking out the service's website for a sale currently running at $8 per tape. In a segment from a couple of weeks ago, Andy mentioned his experience with the Epson FF680-W photo scanner and has found that Visioneer has a similar...]]>33274kvideocameras,adobelightroom,blueskyplatform,cablemanagement,digitizingvhstapes,enbrightenlights,epsonff680w,flushzipties,gadgetreviews,legacybox,mechanicalkeyboards,permanentholidaylights,rackmountchassis,sonya7markiv,technews,technologypodcast,techtalkradio,techtroubleshooting,twitteralternatives,usbphotoplaybackfalsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-421-a-close-encounter-with-a-great-looking-camera--62545129
They then chatted about the old-school days of SETI@home, where hopefuls crunched satellite data in search of ET on their desktop computers, and discussed the “Great Filter” theory, the cosmic SAT for advanced civilizations. For a little throwback fun, they also reminisced about UFO flicks like Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Contact and Mars Attacks! with Slick giving a shoutout to The Twilight Zone’s To Serve Man, while Justin revealed he’s never been a fan of that classic TV Show — Slick's heart broke just a little.

On the tech front, they welcomed Richard Neumann from Sub2R, who showcased two premium cameras the company has built, the Square One and Studio 4 60. Retailing for around $1,500 and $2,500, these cameras promise stunning quality with features like a Sony IMX 294 sensor, HDMI and SDI output, and an open design that techies can customize to their heart’s content. Richards camera gives us a look at that amazing quality.

Shawn also shared news on the latest DJI Air 3S drone, which might be grounded in the U.S. due to import issues (goodbye, epic drone shots). Andy then raved about the Epson FF-680W scanner he recently featured on KMSB Fox 11 News13. Shawn, drowning in a photo archive from the Stone Age (or close), got excited about the scanner’s potential to speed up his backlog. They agreed adding metadata is the secret sauce for organizing all those scanned memories.

Wrapping up, the team tackled a listener's question about iPhone-compatible Bluetooth keyboards, pointing them to trusty options like the Logitech K480 and the Clicks keyboard, a device so slick, it might as well be the iPhone's new best friend.

Shawn’s Camping Tech Must-Haves
Shawn, a tech-loving camping enthusiast, shares his gear essentials for tent, camper, and RV trips. His setup includes DSLR cameras, a power inverter, a solar charger, and even a custom mobile Plex server built on a Raspberry Pi. S!ick was curious about Shawn's love for film photography, sparking a discussion on how AI filters can recreate that classic look. This led to a deeper conversation about whether AI might replace the human touch in art—something that has Shawn concerned and Andy intrigued by the possibilities.

AI and the ‘Dead Internet’ Theory
Matt jumped in to share his own experiences using ChatGPT to craft job cover letters, while Shawn praised the AI for enhancing storytelling in his Dungeons & Dragons campaigns. Andy explored Google’s experimental AI tool, Notebook LM, built to summarize notes and create quick synopses. But when the team tested its audio features, Matt couldn’t help but mention the “uncanny valley” effect of AI-generated voices. Matt then introduced the thought-provoking ‘Dead Internet Theory’, which suggests that much of today’s online content is being generated by bots and algorithms instead of real human interactions.

Gadget of the Week: Mon Duo
Matt showcased his latest gadget, the Mon Duo, a unique triple-monitor accessory for 14” and 16” MacBooks. For around $750, users get a foldable, high-quality display with a 144Hz refresh rate and 500 nits brightness—perfect for multitaskers on the go. It’s pricey but delivers pro-level performance with easy USB-C or Thunderbolt 4 connectivity.

Moving to the Google Pixel 9XL from iPhone
Andy shared his hands-on review of the Google Pixel 9 XL Pro, comparing it to his long-time go-to, the iPhone. While praising the AI assistant, Gemini, and the call screener feature, he hit a snag with text messages—easily fixed by toggling off iMessage on his iPhone. Despite some hiccups, Andy’s impressed with the Pixel’s AI! 

Listener Questions & Hotspot Frustrations
Kerry reached out, asking about unlimited hotspot connections. Matt explained that even with ‘unlimited’ plans, data speeds often drop after hitting a limit. S!ick added his thoughts on streaming services and finding reliable free Wi-Fi options. The team then debated cutting the cord and switching to cheaper fiber providers like Ting.

Wrapping Up
The show ended with a fun discussion on rediscovering LOST on Netflix and why it’s worth a re-watch. The Video version contains that fun discussion.

Matt also discussed his recent purchase of a MacBook Pro, which he chose for its seamless compatibility with Linux, using a virtual machine instead of a dual-boot setup. The team further explored cutting-edge laptops, including the new Lenovo Yoga 9 and the Space Top, an augmented reality laptop that utilizes AR glasses as a display. This sparked a discussion on how AI might drive a new industrial revolution, with companies like Nvidia playing a key role.

Switching gears, Matt shared his experience with Warhammer 40K, highlighting its AI mechanics and how the game runs well on older hardware. He also touched on Henry Cavill's involvement in the TV adaptation of the game, diving into the various settings and factions of the Warhammer universe.

Shawn, meanwhile, described his challenging upgrade to Windows 11. Despite initial installation issues on his Asus Elite Wi-Fi motherboard, which required enabling BIOS and UEFI settings, he eventually succeeded. Shawn also dealt with reinstalling software, encountering hurdles with his headset, ATEM Mini, and Stream Deck. Matt recommended Ninite to simplify the reinstallation process.

Justin shared his new foray into DJing and his efforts to build a professional online presence with a website and business cards. While Justin chose Wix, Andy recommended WordPress with the Divi theme for greater customization and professionalism. They also discussed strategies to promote Justin's DJ services, including the importance of a portfolio video to showcase his skills.

Lastly, Justin encountered a puzzling issue with three Dell laptops running Windows 11 Pro, where the Wi-Fi suddenly stopped working.

Shawn and Andy delved into the evolution of broadcast technology, particularly the transition from analog to digital, and the potential roles of 8K and 4K in the broadcast spectrum. Shawn explained that 1080P HDR offers excellent quality with less bandwidth compared to 8K and 4K.

Andy, considering switching from Cable TV to YouTube TV, raised the concern about rising internet service prices as more users cut the cord. Both agreed that price increases are likely. Andy then updated listeners on his efforts to upgrade a machine to Windows 11. He discussed the TPM 2.0 module he purchased to facilitate the upgrade on his six-year-old system and emphasized the importance of using the PC Health Check tool on Windows 10 to prepare for Windows 11. Despite his excitement over the new TPM 2.0 and a new motherboard case, Andy discovered that his Intel i7 6600 processor isn't on the list of certified processors for Windows 11 and no processors on the approved list will fit the Asus Z170A Motherboard. While it is something to gripe about, Shawn stressed the importance of security in the newer generation processors, even though it's challenging, for future Windows versions.

During the show, Shawn, located in South Bend, IN, had to attend to a weather situation. After a break, he returned to discuss the NOAA Weather Radio and the Radar Omega app, which tracks storms and storm chasers. The app costs around $8 and provides live streaming from storm chasers.

Andy decided to explore Wubuntu, a Linux distribution resembling Windows 11. Although a review he read wasn't favorable, there have even been warnings posting about installing it. While Andy says he has enjoyed the process now he is considering trying Neptune, a Debian Linux distribution.

Shawn shared his experience updating an old iPod Touch through Moonlit.Market, which gives new life to outdated tech. He also tells us about Elite Obsolete Electronics (EOE), a site for finding hard-to-get parts for a wide array of gear, available on the web at EOE.works.

This week's show wraps with Andy sharing news about Redbox and Crackle's going away as highlighted in this Variety Article Link, while Shawn is surprised by the longevity of Homestar Runner, a game from 20 years ago that continues to release new content.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/60718800Wed, 17 Jul 2024 15:20:48 +0000TechtalkRadioFor this week's TechtalkRadio show, Shawn DeWeerd in his https://amzn.to/4d1qdqT and Andy Taylor discussed the latest advancements in technology.

Andy started a new project this past week to downsize from the massive Cooler Master HAF932 to a smaller case. This was all in part to begin to move to Windows 11. Using the Asus Z-170A after purchasing the TPM 2.0 Header the goal would be to Upgrade to Windows 11. Andy gets the Fractal G Mid Tower Case and gets everything moved and cleaner. After deciding to do this, he realized with the 480GB with only 60GB left, he would have to update the Drive as well for more space. Andy updates to a 1TB but has an issue in cloning the drive and find Partition Wizard Mini Tool was the solution he needed. This does pose the question of instead of cloning an older drive, reinstalling Windows from scratch gets rid of the bloat. Some points to consider regarding the software are discussed. 

RealVNC has eliminated the home plans for the service which enabled connecting to other computers. As Shawn pointed out, this was a great way to take care of family members’ computers remotely. The Cost for the new plan is discussed and the problem with TeamViewer and a Security Breach is discussed. DJI is still under the scrutiny of the US Government and the latest is discussed here and how that would affect this that want to use a drone, The Countering CCP Drone Act could ban the sales of DJI products in the US.  Andy gives us a look at the Camp Snap Camera and why many are excited about this very different digital camera. The Screen Free Digital Camera allows the user to experience the taking of the photo and enjoy the moment without looking at what was captured.

He also shares a recent product he shared on News13, the Logitech Universal Folio which can hold most tablets in place in a foldable case which features a Bluetooth keyboard.  The guys share some good uses for tablets while Andy focuses on the Broadcasting Aspect in a software called Zetta from RCS.

Even with his earlier experience he was able to take a drive from Denver to Broomfield using Full Self Driving and had a great experience with this new update. The guys talk about spotting the Tesla Cyber Truck and with the weight of the Electric Vehicles how this has affected tire longevity. Justin shares a story of a man who was in a medical emergency and his Tesla drove him to the emergency room of the local hospital. Slick asks Justin about regenerative braking and how that works to recharge the vehicle.  
   
Justin shares a question from Scott in Tucson about Adding multiple drives with the same files and is looking for a way to dwindle the duplicate files down. Andy recommends looking at Roxio NXT 9 Pro and as a part of the toolbox, Bulk File Renaming and Duplicate File finder is available as part of the Suite. Also recommended is AlternativeTo.Net for locating open-source software as alternatives. Justin does a google search on SourceForge.Net and find a few solutions including DupeGuru which has some great reviews. It is recommended to trend lightly when google searching for programs due to malware and infected programs, RESEARCH! Darlene sends a question about Small Diskettes and how to read data off them without the reader. Justin recommends a USB 1.44 reader which can be purchased from a Computer Repair Shop, always a good way to support local business or of course Amazon. 

Forbes put together an Article about Streaming Options for Television which may be a surprise to some. Aside from the Cost of services which continue to increase such as Netflix, Disney +, Paramount Plus, Hulu there are Free Services with Ads such as Crackle, Tubi, Plex and Pluto.TV. In the Article, Pluto which is owned by Viacom - Parent Company of Paramount offers great programing. Slick shares his top services including Xumo, Roku and Pluto.TV. Surprisingly, Pluto has been around for 10 years, and some have never experienced the interface. Andy recommends taking a look with a smart tv or even tablet at the Pluto Interface. 

Justin is happy about ATSC 3.0 and in some markets, it is available already. In an Article at TheVerge.Com, one addition to this format for Over the Air television is from a company called Roxy working with NBC Universal which could in some way give users the DVR capabilities.   
The new Series Fallout has debuted on Amazon Prime and Justin is loving the show along the same story line universe of the Popular Video Game Fallout. The Gritty show though is geared at grownups, Justin admits being so excited about the series not realizing its  intensity having his 7 year old watch it with him, that ended pretty quickly. 

Andy shares some info on the Insta360 X4 new 8K Camera which can deliver some amazing video and photos but also has options such as Timed Capture and Gesture Controls to capture a photo. Justin likes the 4k Capabilities and tells us why.

Matt tells us about waking up a few weeks back to his Wife’s Jeep getting rear ended while parked in front of their residence, all captured on the Ring...AAMVA and why Carfax is always a great idea. This also allows the guys to talk about some of the First and Worst Cars they have ever had.  

Southern Arizona is getting 68% and Denver where Matt is, seeing 64% Totality for the upcoming Solar Eclipse. Shawn will experience 100% and is taking the trip to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for a large get together of those experiencing the Eclipse.  Shawn tells us some points to consider if wanting to take a photo or video of the Eclipse and how to create a Pinhole Box. Matt tells us during the eclipse, the Silence is deafening and the light shadows on the ground are different. A Great website is https://eclipse-explorer.smce.nasa.gov/ to check out how it will effect different zones. Matt mentions the center of X will be in Carbondale. 

Listener Trisha in Vail sends in a question about the Defragmenter and wonders if it should still be done. Matt gives us a breakdown on where that utility went to and what is was used for. Dale asks about Outdoor Camera's that could Zoom in, Shawn refers to Ubiquity or Unify as a source due to the home security options not really allowing a Zoom feature. Andy shares headphones to test out from Logitech, the Zone 2 Wireless. Bluetooth Capable headphones with a boom arm with 4 discrete microphones for AI Noise Reduction to eliminate background sounds. Andy calls these the most comfortable headphones he has ever worn. This works out great with a question from Stephanie wondering about headphones and wearing a hat. Andy tries this but doesn't understand the assignment. Doh. Air Pods would be an option and a recent story in the Tech blogs are Apple should be releasing a lower cost Air Pod. Google Incognito wasn’t as incognito as users expected and what this means. 

Matt tells us about a recent story of Glass Door not as anonymous as those posting on the site believed.

The trio engages in a lively discussion about ideal tech accessories for holiday giving and receiving. Justin expresses his enthusiasm for some of the GoVee products, leading the conversation towards the idea of the gifting of home assistants such as Alexa and Google Home. Andy feels you should understand how the receiver would feel about a home assistant type device as not everybody is a fan due to privacy concerns. Shawn provides important insights into customizing these devices to suit individual preferences, shedding light on the Sidewalk service within Amazon devices and how it works. The topic of holiday gifts extends to Andy's recommendation of battery chargers for smartphones, while Justin shares his experiences attending his company's Christmas Party and Gift Exchange. The hosts also issue a cautionary note about the pitfalls of gift cards. Curiosity about Shawn's holiday wishlist arises, prompting him to highlight the Wireless PC Brushless Rechargeable Cleaner and an electronics toolkit from iFixIt. Additionally, Shawn expresses wanting the Belkin 3-in-1 Watch, Phone, and Ear Bud Charger.

The conversation takes an amusing turn as Shawn recounts a YouTube video from the Slo Mo Guys, featuring a Leaf Blower facing off against a CPU fan. However, the mood shifts as Shawn somberly reflects on a sad moment in tech history—the departure of G4 Tech TV. The hosts speculate on whether G4 could thrive in today's content-rich digital landscape. Building on this theme of tech-related letdowns, Shawn shares the official announcement of the discontinuation of E3, the Electronic Entertainment Expo. The hosts reminisce about the history of E3 and their experiences at past events, sharing photos from Comic Con 2012 when Justin and Shawn worked together in San Diego.

Shifting gears to gaming news, the release of The Day Before emerges as a significant story. Justin provides insights into the distinctions between linear and open-world games and delves into the aftermath of The Day Before's launch. The hosts discuss other games that faced similar challenges upon release. Justin reveals his holiday wish—a laptop table for comfortable gaming in an easy chair. Andy recommends the NerdyTech Cyboss and introduces the Logitech G502X Gaming Mouse, drawing inspiration from the Millennium Falcon.

Cable Television is great for many however with more of us watching content with services like Paramount +, Hulu, Netflix, and others - The Antenna still has a purpose and while Cable TV delivers many options, at a cost - Over the Air television signals can still be received and now even tied with a Digital Video Recorder from companies to allow Cord Cutting. In 2010 when The United States switched to a Digital Transmission Standard, and it became easier to receive high quality video over the air. Grant Hall, CEO of Tablo TV visits to talk about the development of the Tablo TV Device and how it easily can be used to watch content and place the antenna just about anywhere for the best reception, not just where your TV is and then within the home network stream the Tablo TV Signal to Smart Televisions, Tablets and Smartphone while also with its comprehensive program guide schedule recordings with the device to watch when and where you want to. Great Quality and Easy to set up with a simple to use interface, the Tablo TV also can be used without a Subscription Fee. The Company also provides other FAST Free Ad Supported TV channels for more programming and more on the way. Grant tells us about the ease of use and setting it up.

A recent article was put together by Journalist Michael Liedtke of the Associated Press about the service from friend of the show Mitch Goldstone of Scan My Photos. In the Article, Michael talks about getting his recently passed father’s photos digitized and the process made easier by Scan My Photos. Mitch also tells the story of doing the same for the Late Ed Asners family. The discussion of the importance of getting photos, slides and even film to preserve memories. Mitch tells us of how they do this, and the easy steps involved, and, in some cases, the Scan Fast Service can be done in One Day. This has allowed families to put together tributes for birthdays, anniversaries or sadly memorial services with photos that may have never been digitized. A Big task of trying to do this yourself, is the organizing. Scan My Photos can help collate the images. Mitch tells us how Scan My Photos can digitize about 1000 photos in five minutes with care and amazing detail in the finished results. Mitch shares how the Frame By Frame Capture for 16mm and 8mm Film is handled and the benefits. Find out more at https://www.scanmyphotos.com.

Last week, the big movies released to theaters were "Oppenheimer" and "Barbie." The film industry has changed quite a bit, and the guys wonder why big blockbusters like "Mission Impossible" and "Indiana Jones" don't seem to have the staying power as movies did in the past. Are viewers wanting the movie experience in their homes, and how can theaters continue to attract moviegoers? The SAG/AFTRA Strike could be having an effect as those actors and actresses are not allowed to promote the films they have done under SAG/AFTRA rules. The guys also discuss how this strike has affected Comic Con in San Diego.

On last weeks show, Justin told us about a not-so-pleasant experience with a computer he ordered. Slick shares with us his updated laptop and how even adding 128GB of memory hasn't fixed the issue of slow performance. When the guys question Slick on other important specs, it turns out he was running on a 256GB hard drive and had hibernation mode enabled. Andy talks about a product he is taking a look at, which is designed to clean the print heads on a clogged Ink Jet Printer. The XC Inkjet kit is specifically designed to clean those blocked heads of a printer, especially if it has been in storage for a while. Justin tells us about his Color Laserjet printer and how he has been impressed with the printouts from that printer.

The guys also discuss "X," formerly known as Twitter, and they wonder why this rebranding has happened. Justin gives us his take on what is happening and believes that Elon Musk is looking to replicate WeChat's many features, including payment systems.

June is Internet Safety Month and Andy gets a chance to talk with Netgear Senior Product Line Manager Shalini Sengupta to talk about the history of Netgear and the many different solutions they offer for Consumer and Business connections. Shalini talks about the number of connected devices within the home, on average 46, which increased the need for threat protection. Shalini shares some tips on Safety for the family while online. Andy asks about the need to upgrade older equipment due to changes in technology and security. Shalini tells us about some great solutions for the upgrades and newer equipment from Netgear which can not only enhance the security but increase the bandwidth throughout the home. Mesh systems are perfect for larger homes and how easy is it to deploy them. Shalini and Andy also talk about owning your own equipment instead of renting from your Internet Provider. If you are traveling, the Nighthawk M6 Pro is a great solution when traveling or needing a Hot Spot without jumping onto an unknown network. Shalini also tells us about the Armor Service which can add enhanced updated protection for the Netgear Products.

In this Segment Andy talks with Irrigreen CEO/Co-Founder Shane Dyer about the technology that can not only help to conserve water but with Smart technology utilize the idea of "printing" the water. It uses the same idea of Ink Jet printing as the technology was co-founded by an innovator in Ink Jet Printing. Andy and Shane talk about how easy to set up the system is with information on the Irrigreen Website.

Shawn tells us what we need to know about the newly announced DJI Inspire Professional Grade Drone. Andy wants to know about venturing in the area of Drone Photography and Shawn and Justin let him know what he would need to do to be able to market those services. Andy talks about his recent feature on KMSB Fox 11 which highlighted your own Home Security Monitoring with products from ROKU.

Andy tells the story of how phone calls came into Radio Shows and got on the air compared to tech today from VoxPro and other companies. Shawn and Andy talk about how technology in Education changed from Mac systems to PC's. Some employers are looking for workers that understand AI and how to work with it. Andy talks about how we could see AI used in Radio Broadcasting and even Television Newscasting and points out Synthesia at https://www.synthesia.io and how training videos could all be done using that platform. How will sports be influenced by AI and the predictability of plays viewed by opposing teams.

Andy talks about some products he featured on KMSB Fox 11. Kingston sent over an Ironkey 200 Flash drive with AES 256 Encryption and Military Grade Security to protect the device from prying eyes or in the event of a loss of the drive. After 10 Attempts to enter a password incorrectly, the drive will wipe its data off the drive and make it unrecoverable. Sizes vary from 8GB to 128GB. This also serves as a good reminder to never plug in a USB Flash Drive that you "find." as it could compromise your system or even damage circuitry. Andy also shared a USB diskette Reader from Tandek that he shared on the Segment. Shawn feels there may at some point a Digital Revolution with consumers wanted content.

Shawn looks at the new Adobe Photoshop Beta with Generative Fill which uses AI to fill a background or part of an Adobe stock image with artificial intelligence and is very impressed with the results. What's also nice is that while some programs use AI to complete images, this will stay within the Adobe Family pulling images only from Adobe Stock Images.

Shawn and Andy share a great website for learning more about working with Photoshop and Graphics programs. https://www.phlearn.com The host also goes into a more in depth discussion on the Generative Fill Tool.

James has written extensively on various topics such as Section 230, antitrust, commercial drones, and Spencer Cox - The Governor of Utah's recent bill proposing time limits and a digital curfew for minors. In the interview, James shares his insights on this legislation and its potential for adoption in other states.

Andy recently stumbled upon a treasure trove of old TechtalkRadio Show Interviews from the time when the show was known as Techtalk with Mike and Andy in the Coachella Valley at Palm Springs. Among these archived interviews are some real gems, and Andy is excited to share a few of them with the audience. The first interview he wants to share is with Ben Sawyer, who visited the show in 1999 to discuss his book "MP3 Power", which he co-wrote with Dave Greely and Justin Frankel, The Creator of Winamp. The book delved into the increasing use of MP3 technology and the benefits of audio compression. During the interview, the hosts also talked about Justin's creation of Winamp and Shoutcast for streaming audio content. Justin's inspiration for creating Shoutcast was his love for the KROQ Loveline Radio Show and his desire to hear it beyond the confines of LA radio. The follow-up book, "Online Broadcasting Power", even gave a nod to TechtalkRadio, as fellow host Bill Grace would stream the show across the country, making it the first in the Coachella Valley to do so.

In addition, Andy shares an interview with Michael Giacchino, a prolific music composer known for his work on popular TV shows such as LOST, numerous blockbuster movies, and several beloved video games. During the interview, Michael gives insights into his creative process and even shares anecdotes about meeting legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg. This week's episode of TechtalkRadio is full of engaging conversations and enjoyable flashbacks.

CEO of RAXCO Software, Bob Nolan, joins Andy Taylor to discuss the company's history and offerings. With roots dating back to 1978, RAXCO Software began as a provider of system management tools and has since evolved to offer a range of solutions, including server management, system backups, and quick restoration options. Bob and Andy also discuss the importance of these solutions in the context of recent ransomware attacks, such as the one experienced by the Tucson Unified School District earlier this year.

Five Star Data Recovery has a great reputation for its services and support in this lucrative field and shares the personal rewards of recovering client data.

In this week’s show, Shawn and Andy talk about how Shawn is working Technology into him now being a new parent. We cover some of the recent news from Wyze and address a question from one of the TechtalkRadio listeners wanting to know the story behind Wyze Cam V1. The Company just put out a new Wyze Air Purifier. Shawn says one of the keys is to ask other parents you know which technology works for them, As far as Baby Monitor, Shawn has the Infant Optics Baby Monitor.

Shawn gets the opportunity to upgrade his Graphics card to the very hard to find 30 Series Nvidia Graphics based Card. Shawn tells us about the jump from a 1050 to a 3060 Series at around $350. Andy recently purchased a Samsung Odyssey CRG9 Monitor to replace his two 27-inch monitors on his desktop. The Experience unfortunately wasn't the greatest after returning one of them then getting another also defective. Lots of Time and fuel spent he decided to give up and stick with the 2 27' monitors for now. Andy does like what he was able to experience in the look and desktop feel and more than likely will give it another shot.

Coming out April 20th, Postal 4 - No Regerts will be available on Steam. The Creator of the original Postal, Running with Scissors is based in Tucson. Friend of the Show and the man behind Running with Scissors Vince Desi talked with Andy about the new Release, background of the game and Selectable voices with friends Rick Hunter and Corey Cruise and Jon St. John. Vince tells us about the differences between Postal and now Postal 4 No Regerts. Shawn shares the Website of the Week https://www.cpuid.com

Andy has been watching Investigation Discoveries latest show, Undercover Underage which 6 Episode run happens on Thursday Evening on ID and is streaming with the Discovery+ App. The show takes a deep look at one of the sad issues with the online world, Sexual Predators that can prey on those underage. While we might not think our children can be affected by this, the preying on the younger users online takes many forms and is sometimes hidden behind the keyboard. Andy talks with Roo Powell, the Author and speaker and creator of SOSA, Safe From Online Sex Abuse. They talk about the show itself, the reality of getting these predators in the front of Law Enforcement and how youth is groomed to give up information and put themselves in harms way which could lead to trafficking, rape and murder. It is a gritty subject yet while TechtalkRadio talks about the latest in Gadgets and Gear and internet trends, this is not a trend we need in Society.

Elden Rings is quickly becoming one of the most streamed games and for very good reason. Shawn and Justin talk about the popularity of Elden Rings and what makes this RPG so different from the rest. Andy thought Elden Rings was a New Video Doorbell for the Older Crowd. Andy gets his hands on a ATEM Mini and ask Shawn about some of the key features on the Mini and why this would be a good solution on a Large Zoom Gathering that Andy have been asked to put together.

While Justin passed on his opportunity to get the Valve Steam Desk Shawn tells us about the CEO of Valve hand delivering the Handheld gaming units to buyers in Seattle. Andy shares the Sabrent USB 3.0 4 Bay Docking Station which has a comfortable form factor for the desktop. While it does some RAID configurations Justin and Shawn share the NAS devices they use. Getting your Videos and Photos digitized if you are doing it yourself can be as easy as having a company send you a box however Shawn's explanation truly nails it.

Listener Mike also wants some suggestions on the possibility of building a Gaming Streaming PC that could be built for around $1000. Shawn believes it can be done with some reservations and looks at PC Parts Picker as a source. Andy talks about his Recent Custom build and how on a recent visit to Costco found a comparable system in Speed and Cost for almost the same price point offered a much higher end graphics card, the RTX3060. This reminds many of the trend of people buying systems and pulling the graphics cards and reselling the new build with a lower graphics card to make the difference.

There was some confusion with an announcement this week with a product from Valve, The Steam Deck. The product is a Handheld gaming unit, like the Nintendo Switch, with a 7' Screen and many other great features. The Steam Deck can play the game titles in their Steam Library and non-limited as the Nintendo Switch is to only Nintendo titles. Justin gives us the rundown on the Valve Steam Deck. Justin shares his story of ordering one and thinking it was not going to go through, it did. Now we have to setup a GoFundMe for his Purchase! The Steam Deck is set for release in December.

The guys talk about hoarders that are buying up technology with bots making purchases and then reselling them. The Question is poised, how could this be circumvented, and Shawn believes more Brick-and-Mortar Sales could be one solution with set times and pre orders from the authorized retailers based on pre orders from the store which would have to be picked up in person. A Chip Shortage is causing even new aircraft to not be able to have Wi-Fi due to the Shortage. The Shortage has caused the increase in sale of Used Vehicles. Andy talks about the upcoming Windows365, a Cloud based version of the Windows Operating System and the cost and wonders who would do this? The guys talk about the alternatives. Microsoft Windows365 should be available August 2nd. Shawn talks about a recent test in Japan that produced 319Tbps which could essentially allow 7000 HD Movies to be downloaded in seconds. Obviously, the bottlenecks would not make this viable, but the thought puts a smile on our faces! The guys talk about the cost of High-Speed Internet as it is now.

Justin shares info on his New Synology DS920+ NAS and why he loves it! He installed the Virtual Machine Manager and talks about the Linux Distributions he is using. Shawn tells us about his JBOD NAS system. Shawn shares some great info from Wyze, Multicolored LED Strips! We have been hoping and lobbying for them to make Christmas lights and these are pretty darn close so far.

Andy was looking for a product to feature for the Tech Segment for KMSB Fox 11 and looked at the Stream Deck XL. Justin has been using one and...
There was some confusion with an announcement this week with a product from Valve, The Steam Deck. The product is a Handheld gaming unit, like the Nintendo Switch, with a 7' Screen and many other great features. The Steam Deck can play the game titles in their Steam Library and non-limited as the Nintendo Switch is to only Nintendo titles. Justin gives us the rundown on the Valve Steam Deck. Justin shares his story of ordering one and thinking it was not going to go through, it did. Now we have to setup a GoFundMe for his Purchase! The Steam Deck is set for release in December.

The guys talk about hoarders that are buying up technology with bots making purchases and then reselling them. The Question is poised, how could this be circumvented, and Shawn believes more Brick-and-Mortar Sales could be one solution with set times and pre orders from the authorized retailers based on pre orders from the store which would have to be picked up in person. A Chip Shortage is causing even new aircraft to not be able to have Wi-Fi due to the Shortage. The Shortage has caused the increase in sale of Used Vehicles. Andy talks about the upcoming Windows365, a Cloud based version of the Windows Operating System and the cost and wonders who would do this? The guys talk about the alternatives. Microsoft Windows365 should be available August 2nd. Shawn talks about a recent test in Japan that produced 319Tbps which could essentially allow 7000 HD Movies to be downloaded in seconds. Obviously, the bottlenecks would not make this viable, but the thought puts a smile on our faces! The guys talk about the cost of High-Speed Internet as it is now.

Justin shares info on his New Synology DS920+ NAS and why he loves it! He installed the Virtual Machine Manager and talks about the Linux Distributions he is using. Shawn tells us about his JBOD NAS system. Shawn shares some great info from Wyze, Multicolored LED Strips! We have been hoping and lobbying for them to make Christmas lights and these are pretty darn close so far.

Shawn still goes into his work during this to assist the Instructors at the University for Off Site Education. We learn a little about some of the Technology behind making this work. Streaming has been very important to Churches across the country for staying in touch with the Congregation. There have been some issues trying to get the hardware to stream the services. The Film Distribution business has been changed in light of the pandemic with Theaters upset at film companies streaming first run movies. The guys talk about backgrounds when video conferencing and some points to consider when on a conference meeting. Broadway wants to know who is on Justin’s wall in his newly located studio.

After taking a look at SpeedTest.Net, Andy drops the Motorola Surfboard SB6183 and purchases the Netgear CM1000 with fantastic results. The guys share some tips when running Speedtest.

The guys talk about the Ethics of Video Conferencing and the importance of wearing pants. Shawn tells us about Jennifer, a Zoom Fail, who forgot she was on video conference and made a bathroom visit. Another problem for some is eating during conference video meetings.

One of the big issues this week has been surrounding the cleaning of Keyboards, Mouse and Smartphone’s. The guys cover some of the questions surrounding the cleaning of cases and Smartphone’s. We see more and more podcast and videocast and the guys talk about how creating a Videocast can also be used for a podcast. What are some of the ways to get this done and have your audio only hosted for prospective listener to download or stream. Justin talks about a couple of the YouTube pages he checks out where he may just listen to audio. Justin mentions ChrisFix and Mr.Beast. Shawn talks about the different types of shows including Church Sound and Media Tech. If the guys were to do a podcast around a Non Technical subject, they ponder what type of show would they do?

Shawn DeWeerd tells about a new project for the show where he will embark on a mission to build, fix or create and share the process on the show. His first project is to build his own drone, The Gremlin from https://www.flitetest.com. The guys play a round of Name That Term hosted by Shawn. Andy shares some info on searches Online for Covid-19 and how this has opened up systems to malware. A new exploit is focused on those looking for Corona Virus Maps like those seen on News Broadcast.

Filmmaker Joseph Heslinga chats with Andy Taylor about the new film Foosballers. The movie is a documentary about the people that have a passion for the game/sport of Foosball. Joseph talks about his roots in Tucson and how he relocated to LA. The technology behind film-making and distribution is discussed along with the story behind the film project. How big a part is social media in the promotion of a film project like Foosballers? The film Directed by Joseph with Cinematography by Logan Cascia and Produced by Joseph, Logan and Mike Wagstaffe is available on Vimeo On Demand and iTunes, coming soon to Amazon Prime Video.

The guys talk about the difference between the Raspberry PI Micro Computer and the Mini Form Factor in the Ace PC T11. Cnet shared a story about the Brave Browser and how many users are beginning to take a look at the features on this free browser. Shawn told us about this a few weeks ago and answers some questions regarding the ad and track blocking browser. Many users have been searching for info on Corona Virus, Covid-19 and that has opened up non reputable sites with disinformation and to get malware on users systems. Broadway reminds us to be careful with Vanity Websites. Andy reminds us the website for the CDC is CDC.Gov.

The guys talk about the Plex Server and while the service makes it possible to have many features Shawn talks about the downsides of connecting from Outside the Network. A Big question on digital privacy is opened up and Justin at this point has pretty much said maybe we are too concerned. The Guys play a round of Name That Term with Justin asking the guys to find the answer to the acronym, A Fun Segment! Just hearing Broadways frustrations is memorable!

For our Website of the Week, Justin shares with the guys a site they didn't know about and are super happy to hear it is on the Web. Gary Larson the man behind the Far Side has never really embraced the web and is now sharing his funny looks at life at https://www.thefarside.com

Shawn and Andy talk with Stevi Sterns, a Product Manager from Epson, about a brand new Epson printer which does amazing prints of photos. The Expression Photo XP-970 can Print, Scan, Copy and produce vivid colors for photo printing. We talk with Stevi at the user of the Expression Photo XP-970 and who would be the target user? We love the Expression Photo XP-970 from Epson gives the user the opportunity to print 4x6 all the way up to 11x17! Using a 6 Color Claria Ink System the pictures printed give a good representation of the original. Users can also use the Epson Connect features to be able to print directly from a smart phone without a router, although in a connected home, printing wireless over a network is also a great advantage. Great Prints, Vibrant Colors and speeds, The Expression Photo XP-970 from Epson is a great printing device.

Smart Houses and security is discussed. Shawn tells us why he doesn't want a smart home and wants to have the privacy maintained without giving up piece of mind. VPN, what does it mean for users that want to connect to the internet. Many talk and technology shows feature ads for VPN but do most listeners even know what the tech is and what it protects? The guys explain how it works. A big question that is asked often regarding keeping computers powered on, do they leave it on at night? Shawn talks about his Theater Room and some of the finer points of the technology for a great picture and sound.

Andy works on a HP Desktop computer with some big issues. The decision was made to keep the programs yet make some upgrades to the system.

Desktop Icons is one thing but full files, documents and photos and full folders on the desktop can slow the system, the guys talk about why. Another change to the system can be made to update to an SSD drive from a traditional spinning platter drive. Acronis True Image 2020 makes it possible to clone the drive to make it easier to not have to reinstall all the programs.
