News13 Segment – A Day at the UofA, The Tech in the Dorm Rooms!

A Day at the UofA – News13 was Out at the University of Arizona – We were in Studio with some Tech!

We decided to cover a couple of thoughts on Dorm Living and Tech in the “Residence Halls.” A Big find during the segment was that Tyler didn’t know who Thorton Melon was in the history of Higher Education! University of Arizona has great on site Technical Services 24/7 and questions can be addressed easily by calling 520-646-TECH. For Students wanting to connect via Wi-Fi, it is available however when you realize how many will be using the services, you could run into the occasional bandwidth issues, also security should be considered and make sure you are connected to an Authorized Wi-Fi Connection.

For those that have more than one device to connect, Routers and Switches will not work in the Dorm environment. Each bed will feature a Ethernet Connection to internet services which of course will need to be authenticated when you log in as a student. Also, if you have a Wireless Printer, you will need to set up the Wired Connection to that printer. The Ethernet Services are available for Studies however you could hook up a gaming Console for that much needed break. I will recommend some tech for their dorms to have on hand – Power Strip with Surge, We have the APC to share, Belkin 3 in 1 Charger (Charge Smart Phone, Watch, Buds) Space Saving and Convenient and of course Storage with Flash Drives and removable drives.

If you check out housing.arizona.edu under technology you will find services that can help with those questions!

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. The link to read it is https://www.pcgamer.com/spring-clean-your-pc

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!
