New Episode – #335 Monitor Confusion

For this week’s show, Andy Taylor and Justin Lemme host the Show as Shawn is adjusting to being a new parent! Congrats to Shawn and Kailyn! Andy has decided to take a look at a new trend in replacing a double monitor situation and opting for a Ultra-Wide. There are several manufacturers on the market from Asus to Dell to Scepter and Samsung. Andy reached out to Samsung to see if he could get a look at one for the TV Segment on KMSB Fox 11 yet deciding which to look at was number one and finally Samsung had no inventory available. There are a handful of different ones available each having different features as Andy has decided this may be a great solution to purchase. Justin and Andy talk about the differences between 1080 and 1440, 120hz and 144hz to 240hz. Also, some have commented in Product Chats that while the Curve of the 49″ screen is great, the Dimensions from top to bottoms are small then a standard 27″ on the desktop, depending on the manufacturer. What are some other considerations with gaming on these larger screens? We tackle some of these questions.

Justin gets himself the new Asus Router, upgrading from a Juniper Switch and shares what he loves about it and some of what he isn’t overly happy with. Andy takes on a Digital Conversion process and talks about the Victrola 7 in 1 Turntable which has some great features and a USB Connection for recording onto a PC or Mac. The guy’s wax poetic on the Technics 1200 which was a mainstay in nightclubs and mobile DJs for many years.

Returning to the show is CPA and Intuit TurboTax Expert Lisa Green-Lewis to discuss the Latest with the new version of TurboTax and TurboTax Online. What are some of the new items to consider with this year’s filings and to prepare for next years?

Justin tells us about the passing of Steve Wilhite, he created the GIF and what is the proper pronunciation of the format.

EPISODE 334 – The Tech Behind News Reports

In this week’s show, Shawn, Justin, and Andy cover some of the Tech you may find behind the Local and even National News. For many News Reporters, or Multimedia Journalist, they are a One Person Band. Many times, a Journalist/Reporter will be asked to go into the field to cover a story and they are the Reporter, Camera Operator and Engineer for the Segment. Shawn tells us that about 90% of the On Scene Reports are now done this way. Justin and Shawn talk about the different pieces of technology that make this possible. Another trend in News Reports has been Stringers and how the local new audience can provide video from the scene of a news story.

Shawn and Justin tell us about stories they have done when working with TV News and one of the biggest was Shawn’s from Mecosta County “ I Didn’t Make that Kid Pass Out on the Floor” Segment which went viral and was featured on news stories across the country including Jimmy Kimmel. Justin shares his story of the Epic Fail Fox 5 News Jetpack video which hit over 3.3Million views on YouTube. A story has surfaced about Microsoft possibly including ads in the Launch Windows for Windows 11. The turns the focus to the business of Ad’s and Click throughs. With so many ads, how can they be minimized. Justin tells us about how easy it is to create a PiHoles with a Raspberry Pi device although, right now they are in High Demand.

Roo Powell – Discovery ID’s Undercover Underage and Founder of SOSA talks with TechtalkRadio

We are happy to have Roo Powell as a Guest on TechtalkRadio. Andy has been watching Investigation Discoveries latest show, Undercover Underage which 6 Episode run happens on Thursday Evenings on the ID Channel 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. While the series currently is limited to 6 Episodes there are hopes that it could continue to shed light on Online Sex Abuse, Roo shares the answer to the question as to why the face and voice are disguised of those in the Sting Operations.
