EPISODE 359 – Everything Everywhere All Too Quick

This week on TechtalkRadio, Andy and Shawn explore some tech gadget ideas for kids as Shawn's Son approaches his first birthday, including a not very traditional Roku Remote without batteries that Shawn found to be a fun toy. Shawn also discusses his experience with the Endor 3 3D Printer and how he used it to create useful items for his home, such as a baby gate designed from Thingiverse. Additionally, he shares his thoughts on the new Wyze Wireless Gaming Headset, highlighting both its pros and cons. Andy also weighs in on the discussion, sharing his preferred headphones for work and gaming, including the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro and SteelSeries Arctis 7. Finally, they touch on the exciting new partnership between Roku and Wyze, which includes the integration of Wyze cameras into the Roku platform.

Andy discusses his recent news segments on the dangers of text spam, email scams, and the emerging threat of voice AI, which could be used to capture voice prints and scam people in your social circle. He also shares his experience with Voice.AI, one of the best voices deepfake sites he's come across, and even surprises Shawn with a demo of one of the voices he created. While the service can be pricy, it certainly has its fun uses however could also have risks associated with it. Andy also shares a frustrating experience with BingChatAI, which ended a chat with him because it felt he was being confrontational when he was just trying to provide accurate information about TechtalkRadio.

CEO of RAXCO Software, Bob Nolan, joins Andy Taylor to discuss the company's history and offerings. With roots dating back to 1978, RAXCO Software began as a provider of system management tools and has since evolved to offer a range of solutions, including server management, system backups, and quick restoration options. Bob and Andy also discuss the importance of these solutions in the context of recent ransomware attacks, such as the one experienced by the Tucson Unified School District earlier this year. Specifically, they delve into RAXCO's Instant Recovery technology and how it has helped organizations recover from such attacks.

Shawn shares the Cool Website of the Week, WebSDR.org for those wanting to check out Amateur Radio Cast around the World.
