Episode 468 – Tech, Games & AI: What’s Real Anymore?

This week on TechtalkRadio, Andy Taylor and Shawn DeWeerd deliver another wide-ranging episode that blends practical tech advice, nostalgic gaming, and real-world perspective—without taking things too seriously.

The show opens with a discussion about content creation, audio gear, and accessibility, as the guys compare microphones, wireless lavs, and mixers while discussing captions, video platforms, and the ongoing challenges of cloud-based workflows. From there, listener questions drive the conversation into mobile video editing, USB formatting, and the never-ending debate over whether thumb drives are outdated—or still essential.

Shawn revisits classic titles through modern retro hardware, sparking a broader discussion about digital ownership, microtransactions, and why older games still feel more complete than many modern releases. Andy also highlights family-friendly, motion-based gaming designed to get kids moving—The Nex Playground which does a great job opening up a conversation about screen time, balance, and growing up in a tech-saturated world. 

The episode wraps with a ook at AI and perception, exploring how viral images, deepfakes, and powerful generative tools are changing the way we trust what we see online. Andy notes that is easy now to just say “It’s AI” as he was seeing in a video from over 5 years ago during the Military Coup in Myanmar. Andy and Shawn reflect on why skepticism can be healthy—but also why it’s important to slow down, verify, and remember that not everything is artificial.

KMSB Segment – The Drone That Disappears: Antigravity A1

On this week’s Technology “Talking Tech” segment on KMSB Fox 11, Andy Taylor introduced viewers to one of the most eye-catching drones on the market right now: the Antigravity A1, a first-of-its-kind 8K, 360-degree drone powered by Insta360 imaging technology. With cameras positioned above and below the aircraft, the A1 can capture immersive aerial footage while digitally removing the drone itself from the final shot—creating stunning, cinematic visuals that look more like a video game than real life.

Andy explained how the Antigravity A1 stays under the FAA’s 250-gram limit with the standard battery, avoiding registration requirements, while larger batteries push it over that threshold for pilots who want longer flight times and expanded capabilities. Either way, the drone delivers smooth, stabilized footage and opens the door to creative “fly now, frame later” editing using 360-degree capture.

The segment also highlighted the A1’s FPV-style flying experience, where pilots wear included goggles to see exactly what the drone sees in real time. Using a simple controller with intuitive controls, flying the A1 is approachable even for newcomers. Key features like return-to-home, automatic low-battery landing, and precision landing using a visual landing mat help make flying safer and stress-free.

Andy wrapped up by breaking down the available kits, including the Infinity Kit, which comes with multiple batteries, goggles, chargers and a rugged carrying case—everything needed to fly right out of the box. Andy also shares a couple accessories available such as a Landing Mat. Whether you’re a hobbyist, content creator, or just love cutting-edge tech, the Antigravity A1 delivers a unique new way to capture the world from above.
