This week on the TechtalkRadio Broadcast Show, join Andy Taylor, Shawn DeWeerd and Slick as they kick things off by recapping last week’s show, which delved into the eerie world of Midjourney and Justin’s spooky creations on the platform.

Things for this week take a hilarious turn as Slick, Shawn, and Andy discuss doppelgangers and share their celebrity look-alikes. Andy playfully suggests that Shawn resembles the grown-up version of the kid – Jake from “Two and a Half Men,” while Slick’s uncanny resemblance to Gil Scott Heron surprises everyone, just as much as Andy’s resemblance to film director John Landis in the ’80s. Switching gears from tech, Andy shares a fun anecdote about driving on the Universal Studio Lot and getting waved through. And for a dose of non-tech escapades, Shawn regales us with his recent camping trip, where he tried his hand at outdoor axe throwing with the family and Kids!

Delving back into the tech world, the trio explores the privacy implications of photos on services like Google Photos. They discuss how these services can identify products and images, potentially sharing where to purchase products found in your photos. They also walk you through uploading photos from your computer to Google Photos, allowing you to easily access them on your smart devices.

In Microsoft-related news, the team discusses Microsoft’s announcement that WordPad is being phased out from the Windows Operating System. Slick provides some background on Notepad and WordPad, drawing from his support days to explain why these programs were created. Shawn then introduces an alternative, Notepad++, and Slick shares his love for this program. They also shed light on AlternativeTo.Net, a resource for discovering open-source alternatives to various software, including WordPad and office apps, with OpenOffice being one of the recommendations. They also touch on alternatives for video, audio, and photo editing, with Shawn singing praises for DaVinci Resolve.

Andy Taylor unveils a product featured on this week’s KMSB Fox 11 Segment: the Sabrent USB 3.1 Enclosure for NVMe PCIe M Key M.2 SSD. This handy device allows you to clone your M.2 drives or connect to your USB 3.1 port, transforming any system without M.2 onboard storage. Additionally, Andy introduces the ShiftCam Snapgrip, a game-changer for smartphone photography enthusiasts. It not only enhances your smartphone’s camera control but can also charge/power Qi-capable devices while in use, all while being connected via Bluetooth for seamless operation. Shawn rounds up the episode with a showcase of other exciting products from ShiftCam.
