Andy shares his thoughts on repurposing older smartphones, while Justin talks about his plans to get the new Pixel 9 Pro Fold. He’s excited about the rebate he’s getting, which he plans to use for the new Google Stream TV. With Samsung pushing its Flip and Fold smartphones, some believe it’s the perfect time to make the switch. However, Justin is facing a challenge in finding a case for his Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Shawn then discusses the trend of adding larger sensors to smartphones for better photography, predicting that the “Camera Wars” will only get more competitive.

They compare the user experience between Roku and Google TV devices.

Meanwhile, Shawn reminisces about using his 35mm film camera, finding an old roll of Kodak 400 film, and getting the photos developed through indiefilmlabs.com, with which he’s very pleased.

The show wraps up with Shawn discussing the new DJI Mini 4 Pro drone. Andy expresses frustration over the introductory price of the DJI Mini 4, which is $299, compared to the over $1,000 he spent on the Mini 3 Pro. The conversation then shifts to potential legislation against DJI and similar concerns now being directed toward TP-Link.

In this Weeks TechtalkRadio Show, Andy Taylor, Justin Lemme, and Shawn DeWeerd talk about some of the changes they have gone through in the past few weeks. Justin has a new job and Shawn is a new father. The guys talk about social media and how being new parents has not changed Shawn’s mind about getting onto Facebook to share photos. Shawn gives us a look at the Infant Optics baby monitor while Justin shares a great tip about extending the battery life. Andy jumps on to the new App BeReal and talks about what it is and how it is different from other Social Photo Sharing Apps.

Andy finally sets up his new build and runs into a bit of problem. His Wireless Mouse has been freezing up. Andy determined after moving from the Cooler Master Haf932 Case to the smaller Corsair case, the interference with the Aura Components and smaller case needed the Wireless Dongle plugged to the back (On the Board) of the Case.

Justin tells us about how he has integrated Malwarebytes into the system and why he’s a proponent of the service, Shawn share how he has paid for the premium version and been very happy with it.

Andy talks with Vahan Hovsepian of Five Star Data Recovery about the Company which specializes in Digital Data Recovery. We found out what drove him to begin the company which has saved data from failed hard drives for years. Five Star Data Recovery has a great reputation for its services and support in this lucrative field and shares the personal rewards of recovering client data. Vahan tells us the differences in the processes to recover data from logical to mechanical failures. While SSD technology is fantastic, when it comes to your Data, in case of failure, having a traditional “Spinny” drive is much better. What should you do when your drive is clicking or beeping? Great tips shared from Vahan
