Episode 154: We Won’t Scam You, Much

Facebook was all over the news this week good and bad. We cover that but also get to all the other important tech stories of the week. We also upped our game on Pro Tips (ding) this week to help you tech better. Stick around to the very end for maybe the best post-credits clip yet.

Make sure to join the Notnerd Facebook Group and let us know how you tech better. We're also looking for your ProTips and Picks of the Week.
