New TechtalkRadio Show Posted

In this Weeks Show Justin, Shawn and Andy talk about Vehicles and Technology. Shawn talks about his new car and using Apple Car Play. What does Apple Car Play do for the vehicle owner and how easy is it to use? Justin uses The Android Version and talks about some of those features and Apps that can be used in the vehicle. The guys explain that both Android and Apple IOS devices can work in a vehicle with Car Play features. Justin talks about updates for your Smartphone and other technology enabled devices and why they should really be done as soon as available.

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.

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. The guys talk about how users can streamline systems and with basic maintenance keep the systems running smoothly. 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. Shawn points a big question to us about how often we do a fresh install of Windows. He explains why its important to think about fresh installs.
