New Show Posted #371 – Powering The Outdoor Tech

For this Weeks TechtalkRadio Show, Shawn and Andy dive into the latest happenings in the world of gadgets and Tech! Shawn is back from an relaxing escape to the picturesque Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and he still manages to share a Tech Angle with us!

Ever wondered what it’s like to have Starlink in the wilds? Shawn got a taste of the future with Starlink during his remote retreat. While he didn’t turn into a tech wizard on vacation, he did manage to capture some breathtaking time-lapse videos using a Wyze Outdoor camera. This clever contraption draws its power from the sun, thanks to a solar setup that would make even the sunflowers envious. But that’s not all the solar goodness we’re dishing out today! Tune in as Shawn spills the beans on his Raspberry Pi adventure. Picture this: a Raspberry Pi, a TP Link Micro Wireless Router, an iPad, and a dash of ingenuity. The result? Streaming from a far-flung getaway. It’s like turning your tech dreams into reality
Speaking of streaming, Shawn spills the tea on why he ditched Plex for Emby as his trusty media server. Get the lowdown on this switcheroo and dive into the world of Emby at emby.media. But wait, there’s more! Unleash your inner streamer with options like Jellyfin, Kodi, and Stremio – your ticket to streaming paradise. Get ready to unplug (pun intended) as Shawn and Andy unravel the magic of solar panels for tech gadgets. Say goodbye to constant charging and hello to camera setups powered by the mighty sun.


Hold onto your remotes because Shawn’s got a spicy tale of switching internet providers from XFinity to the all-new Metronet in Indiana. It’s a saga of communication triumphs and tribulations that’ll leave you nodding in understanding. Buckle up as Shawn spills the beans on the newest member of his gadget family – the Wyze Battery Camera Pro. This outdoor wonder is the V3’s cool cousin, no bridge required, and packing the power of removable batteries. And guess what? Wyze isn’t just about cameras; they’ve got everything from socks to hats. Shawn’s all in – are you?
Andy’s got a blockbuster recommendation that’ll have you redefining movie night – the Samsung QLED 4K Q80C 98″ Television. But hold your horses, folks, because installation and setup come with a touch of class – White Glove Installation style. And for all your electronics, a trusty Joule-protected UPS is the unsung hero you never knew you needed. But wait, there’s an inkling of printer paradise! Andy spills the details on the Epson ET-2850, an Eco Tank Printer that’s poised to save you a ton on ink. No more printer ink nightmares – this is ink-filling made easy, breezy, and mess-free. With the Epson Smart Panel App and Wi-Fi Direct printing, you’ll be printing like a pro.
Hold the phone – we’ve got a breaking report that’s sending shockwaves! Google’s cleaning house, and come December, inactive accounts are on the chopping block. Panic stations, everyone!

So buckle up, techtalkers, because this week’s show is a rollercoaster ride of solar-powered adventures, ink-saving triumphs, and electrifying discoveries. Don’t touch that dial – you won’t want to miss a single second of the TechtalkRadio Show with Shawn and Andy!
