Welcome to this week’s edition of TechtalkRadio where Justin and Andy are joined by Slick to keep you up to speed on the latest trends and happenings in the world of technology!
Kicking off this week’s show, the topic of Artificial Intelligence takes center stage once again after an intriguing email from Mario, who enjoyed the guys’ previous discussion on AI. Andy believes that AI can be harnessed for good and non-invasive purposes, but Justin and Slick are skeptical, thinking Andy might be living under a rock. Renowned film director of Terminator fame, James Cameron, echoes these concerns, stating that this is exactly what he warned us about with Skynet and self-learning technology.
Speaking of AI, the conversation shifts to how it can revolutionize the way we write code for technology, making the process faster and easier. Andy highlights how technology has already taken over certain jobs, citing the basic self-checkout systems in stores. However, not everyone is thrilled about this tech advancement, with a backlash from individuals who dislike sharing receipts upon exiting the store.
We have a message from Cecilia seeking guidance on setting up a wireless printer, and Justin surprises everyone with a unique approach to troubleshooting this issue. Additionally, the guys share some “Old School” methods to secure serial numbers and master passwords, revealing an extra step in safeguarding sensitive information.
Shifting gears to the entertainment world, the big movies hitting theaters last week were “Oppenheimer” and “Barbie”. The hosts ponder the changing landscape of the film industry and why once-popular blockbuster franchises like Mission Impossible and Indiana Jones seem to be losing their staying power. Are viewers opting for the home movie experience, and how can theaters entice audiences back? The ongoing SAG/AFTRA Strike is also making waves, affecting actors’ ability to promote their films and even impacting events like Comic Con in San Diego. The guys delve into how this labor dispute is altering the dynamics of the entertainment world.
On a lighter note, Slick shares his experience with an updated laptop that still struggles with slow performance, despite adding a whopping 128GB of memory. The culprit? A mere 256GB hard drive with hibernation mode running—a valuable lesson in considering all crucial specs!
Andy introduces a product designed to clean the print heads of clogged Ink Jet Printers—the XC Inkjet kit, particularly useful for printers that have not been used for an extended time. Meanwhile, Justin shares his love for his Color Laserjet printer and its impressive print quality however finds it is always better to use the manufacturers Ink.
In a surprising move, Twitter rebrands itself as “X.” The hosts speculate on the reasons behind this change and Justin suggests that Elon Musk might be eyeing WeChat’s versatile features, including its payment systems.
That’s a wrap for this week’s TechtalkRadio. Stay tuned for more exciting updates and discussions on the ever-evolving world of technology. We would love to hear from you as well!
