New Show Posted! #363 – Stick It In A Big Bag of Rice!

In this Weeks Show, Justin and Andy handle the show while Shawn is working on a Big Event at his work. Andy talks about the issues that can come from what he calls “Over Troubleshooting” which can cause systems to be in a further state of kabungle! We still don’t know what that word means but changes and fixes made before calling for Support can cause even more issues. Andy and Justin talk about the need to make the call for support but also equipment that doesn’t work should be removed. The guys are hoping this could serve as a cautionary tale to make a note of the problem and to call support so they can troubleshoot. New Data shows the Age groups best working with Technology and surprising it involved the Age Group that has most worked with Tech, this due to the last 20 years of Tech has had most solutions done for the User. Andy calls out the mind sets for the Boomer Generation because they had to learn on DOS, learned to disconnect, reconnect and even learn patience with Dial Up. Justin shares an interesting recommendation for cleaning the PC. Andy refers to a PC Gamer Column from a couple years ago about cleaning the PC which is great for Spring Cleaning.

Andy and Justin also share a reminder of leaving your electronics and dash cams in your vehicle and under the hot sun can damage the units. Justin gets a great deal on a New Sony PlayStation 5 Disc Edition and the guys share thoughts on points to consider when buying one of these from a Private Sale. Justin also tells us how he spun a yarn to get the deal. He also signed up for the PlayStation Network and shares why this is a great idea. Justin also has an XBOX and has loved Remote Play on the past however after some changes it had issues, but now PlayStation also features a Remote Play and Justin is loving it and tells us why!

With the New Season of Undercover Underage the show shares an Interview with SosaTogethers and Host of the Show Roo Powell talking about the dynamics of the show. Andy wants to get himself a new comfy chair. He has been looking at Secret Labs and Justin tells Andy in all honesty why Facebook Ads are pushing Titan from Secret Labs to his feed? It’s Because Andy is a Fan of Hostess and Lil Debbie’s!

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.
