Topic: For this week’s show, we want to field and troubleshoot all of your tech problems. If you have a phone or computer issue or just need some advice on the upcoming Windows 11 update, we’re here for you. Between your phone calls, we’re gonna play a little game of “This or That” where Sabir and I give our reasoning for preferring one thing over its opposite: like would we rather “accept all” or “reject all” cookies, or do we prefer mobile devices or desktop computers.

Topic: On October 14th of this year – 2025, Microsoft will officially cease offering support for their soon-to-be Legacy operating system Windows 10. This means that they will no longer update the OS which will put devices running Windows 10 at risk for hacks and threat actors. We’ve discussed this on the show previously, but we have failed to mention the solutions available to those who possess older devices that cannot upgrade to Windows 11, nor can they buy a newer device. Don’t toss your laptop just yet, it still can be saved.

Host(s): Abram Nanney and Sabir Abdul-Haqq (www.yourebs.biz)
Topic: A few weeks ago, we had a listener call in concerned about his personal information being accessed after an ad popped up with his private data filled in. This prompted a discussion about the autofill features that most devices have natively, and brought up whether the convenience of this feature outweighed the privacy risks associated with it. Turns out, a lot of smart device features can be viewed in that same light: convenience vs. privacy, so let’s talk about some of them.

Guest(s): Dr. Nikisha Ware
Topic: Earlier this year, the FCC started the process of regulating both who can text or call you and what is allowed in a permitted text or call. This was done in an effort to combat the barrage of spam messages we all receive routinely, however, is it possible the regulations could have an impact on genuine marketing campaigns, especially those from small businesses? Today, we’re gonna have Dr. Nikisha Ware join us to discuss the implications of these rulings.

Guest(s): Andre McGregor from ForceMetrics
Topic: Personal information and data are important in today’s tech landscape. Your identity and online activity are treated as currency to hackers, scammers, and threat actors.

Topic: Nostalgia is a powerful thing, so today we’re gonna play a little game with Shane and Sabir’s nostalgia. A few decades ago, despite the limited capability of computers and game consoles, every piece of technology had a distinct sound that will forever be associated with it. Whether that sound was from mechanical operation, UI design, or a branding logo, they were all memorable. But let’s see if Shane and Sabir can recall each sound themselves if we pit them against each other.

Amid this constant barrage of marketing campaigns with new tech companies popping up left and right, you may not even know what’s being advertised or what service someone is providing.

Guest(s): Josh Whitehurst of First Orion
Topic: So, we’ve all done it before: your phone goes off, you pick it up, see a number you don’t recognize, and mute the call to go back to whatever you were doing. After all, these unfamiliar numbers are probably all just scams and spam anyways. Today, we’re joined by Josh Whitehurst from First Orion to discuss the headache these spoofers can cause consumers and businesses and what can be done to remedy the problem.

Topic: Last week, we talked about what to look for when buying phones, tablets, and computers this holiday season. Much of that conversation of course always comes down to your budget for those gifts. But if you wanted to purchase a tech gift for your loved one that’s not as bank-breaking, you might want to look for something a bit smaller. Today, on our last show before Black Friday, we’re gonna share some ideas for smaller tech accessories for those in your life who would appreciate them.

Topic: Nostalgia is a powerful thing, so today we’re gonna play a little game with Shane and Sabir’s nostalgia. A few decades ago, despite the limited capability of computers and game consoles, every piece of technology had a distinct sound that will forever be associated with it. Whether that sound was from mechanical operation, UI design, or a branding logo, they were all memorable. But let’s see if Shane and Sabir can recall each sound themselves if we pit them against each other.

Topic: For generations, every culture of people throughout the world have told legends of monsters or ghosts that stalk specific regions of the globe. As years went by, tales of yetis or skinwalkers or other regional monsters diminished and these supernatural beings were relegated to folklore. These days, however, new terrors have appeared, and they’re known worldwide. These ghouls and ghosts have migrated to the internet and created a modern, viral type of folklore. So today, let’s talk about some of them and breakdown where they come from and what they do.

A new videogame has been accused of using AI art for its assets. There was a chatbot campaigning for president. AI being used maliciously to create explicit images. And also, a possibly unfortunate end to important telecommunications legislation. What does all this mean going forward?

A popular debate in the gaming community is over which console people prefer, Xbox or Playstation. In order to help our audience be better informed, we wanna take the time today to compare and contrast the two in several areas. Previously when we tried to bring this subject up, we had some callers call in to share the love for Nintendo Switch and other consoles, which are great, but today we just wanna talk Xbox vs. PlayStation.

Topic: Yesterday was a big day for many high school students across the state. The Mississippi High School Activities Association crowned the Esports State Champions at the University of Southern Mississippi on December 12. If you aren’t aware – an Esport, or electronic sport, is an activity where competitors battle against each other in a videogame to see who is the best. Today I’m gonna take you through my first experience of being at an esports event in-person at the Mississippi High School State Championships. The students combatted each other in three different videogames: Super Smash Brothers, Madden NFL, and Rocket League. Four schools qualified for each videogame, meaning twelve schools total were in attendance. Players started their day with a semifinals matchup, and if they won, advanced to the finals, the victors then earning the title of State Champion.
While Madden and Smash Brothers are available for purchase, Rocket League is free on all platforms for anyone interested in the game.
You can find the full day stream of the State Championships at the University of Southern Mississippi's Twitch Channel

Topic: Recently on the show, I spoke with a guest about how Mississippi is under-represented in the STEM world. But did you know that Mississippi actually ranks as the second-best state to pursue a career in game development? Did you know the latest military supercomputer is located in Mississippi? So despite our general lack of careers in technology, Mississippi headlines tech news quite often and today we’re talking about those headlines. And of course, the server is open to troubleshoot your calls and questions as well.

Guest(s): Jerome Pesenti, founder of Sizzle AI
Topic: We’ve talked about AI many, many times on Everyday Tech. However, I think it’s time for us to discuss how artificial intelligence can actually help and improve our lives. To help us with that, we welcome an expert in the development of AI to the show – Jerome Pesenti. Jerome has been a leader in the field of artificial intelligence for 25 years and has played a fundamental role in the advancement of tech companies like BenevolentAI, IBM, Meta, and now, Sizzle. His input and recommendations even helped shape the UK government’s initiative to advance the artificial intelligence industry in the UK.

Topic: It was reported in late 2021 that over 109.4 million American households subscribed to at least one video streaming service. That’s approximately 85% of Americans, and with the direction of our current cultural advancement, we can only assume that those numbers are gonna go up, but what ever happened to just buying a dvd. Or a vinyl record. Or a book. Today we’re gonna talk about that, and why physical media is important, BUT we’re going to open the show by talking about the big new Apple event yesterday titled Wonderlust.

Topic: The Pew Research Center released a report in July of 2020 that found around 80% of parents with kids aged 11 or younger say their child watches YouTube – a primarily creator-driven video entertainment website with over 2 billion users. That’s 4 out of 5 of young children, a vast majority. So what draws them to this website? What are they watching that keeps bringing them back to it? And more importantly, why do your kids and grandkids find this entertaining? Today we’re going to try to answer those questions for you.

This week's episode of ET was washed out by the mess in DC. So, we've dug waaaaay back the archives to three months ago for this week's Everyday Tech.
On this episode of Everyday Tech, the guys deep dive into the issue of addiction to technology and specifically, social media. The topic was spurned on by the Netflix docu-drama The Social Dilemma.
According to the filmmakers, and their subjects, this is the dilemma.
Never before have a handful of tech designers had such control over the way billions of us think, act, and live our lives.
From the official site of the doc:
The Social Dilemma blends documentary investigation and narrative drama to disrupt the disrupters, unveiling the hidden machinations behind everyone’s favorite social media and search platforms.
So, how stuck in your own tech rabbit-hole are you? Can you change? Do you feel you need to change?

Jay and Wiltz take a call from a listener who's gotten the impression that if she doesn't convert to TV streaming, her favorite shows are going away. The guys point out that box-top cable is going nowhere, and that actually, as the cost of streaming soars, box-top cable companies (who also offer streaming and on-demand options) continue to add value back to their services.
But, there are advantages either way you go. It all depends on how you consume television and how that fits into your daily routine.

This week's guests are from Seventh Knight, the developer of AppMoat.
Travis Odom – VP, Customer Experience
Charlie Case – VP, Government Services
Discussed on this episode:
What is Ransomware?
- encrypts (scrambles) personal files (documents, pictures, taxes, financial/customer records, etc)
- Requires paying a “ransom” to (maybe) get your files back
- Commonly initiated by malicious links in emails
Why should we be concerned?
- even if not YOUR business, we all pay when people lose
- Imagine losing family photos
- Even backups can be, and often are, compromised
- RECENT EXAMPLES: Including Yazoo County schools being held up for more than a quarter-million dollars!
What can we do about it?
- Awareness and recognizing scams is crucial
- Be suspicious
- Personal users can use tools such as CryptoPrevent
- Businesses can benefit from AppMoat, a 24/7 managed service to protect their systems
- (AppMoat is a Ransomware/Zero-Day Managed Endpoint Protection tool for Windows workstations and servers)
