On this week’s TechtalkRadio Show, Andy is joined by Justin, Shawn, and Slick for a lively discussion on various tech topics. The show kicks off with a peculiar start as Justin and Shawn share the latest news about the impact of “Tay Tay.” The guys quickly get it out of their system as they delve into the recent overheating issue with the iPhone, which has been resolved with the 17.0.3 Update. Interestingly, this overheating problem wasn’t limited to the new iPhone 15, as Shawn reports cases of overheating with the iPhone 14. However, Andy’s experience with the iPhone 14 Pro Max was issue-free.

The team also covers the recent announcement of Google’s Pixel 8, discussing its exciting features. There’s some healthy disagreement among the hosts regarding Apple, prompting a reflection on the transition from Apple/Mac to PC, especially in the context of the Apple II’s dominance in education during the ’80s. Shawn shares insights into the differences between Mac and PC systems.

For those contemplating upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10, there are some changes to be aware of, potentially requiring a purchase instead of a free download from the Microsoft website. Andy shares his experience with an issue on his Windows 11 Pro build after changing his motherboard, sparking a conversation about licensing concerns.

Justin provides insights into deals from DirectDeals and StackSocial for Windows 11, and the hosts discuss Amazon’s reported investment in AI with Anthropic and its Claude platform, which is available in beta at https://claude.ai/chats.

Eric Flam from Solis talks with Andy about the Solis Wireless Hotspot, offering an alternative means of connectivity with benefits over smartphone hotspots or carrier-provided solutions.

The hosts explore the world of streaming content and how to discover options efficiently. Andy shares his experience using the Gatsby.TV app, which helped him realize he was paying for a streaming service that overlapped with another he subscribed to. Gatsby Frimpong, Co-Founder CEO of Gatsby.TV, joins the show to discuss the app’s creation and use. He emphasizes the limitations of algorithms in recommending content and how Gatsby.TV’s social features enable users to share recommendations and engage in discussions. With the Social aspect of Gatsby.TV this can give you recommendations and allow you to share, almost bringing a watercooler type discussion on content all within the App. Available at https://gatsby.tv/

In a lighter segment, Shawn begins dabbling in AI creation with Dall-E for his Dungeon Master Campaign, creating a memorable giant rubber duck boss. Slick, Andy, and Justin ponder the creative choices while reflecting on discussions at GenCon, which led to the creation of fun characters for the campaign.
