from TechtalkRadio · host TechtalkRadio

This week on TechtalkRadio, Andy Taylor, Shawn DeWeerd, and Justin Lemme explore the latest technology, answer listener questions, and share a few laughs along the way! Andy gets hands-on with the new ASUS Googlebook 14, an ultra-lightweight laptop featuring Gemini AI integration, a stunning OLED display, and powerful hardware. But with a price tag approaching $1,300, is it worth the investment? Shawn and Justin share their thoughts on Google's growing ecosystem, online privacy, and why they're exploring alternatives to Big Tech services. Listener questions bring some great discussions! Should you buy an inkjet or laser printer? Is it safe to hold down your computer's power button to shut it off? And why are some smart TVs requiring users to create accounts before they can start watching? The team also discusses Windows 11 updates, Adobe and Canva's changing creative tools, and the growing impact of AI-generated content. Plus, Justin shares a fun Website of the Week that brings classic Windows Solitaire back with a multiplayer twist! https://www.solitarealonetogether.com There's even more RV talk as Justin continues exploring the world of recreational vehicles, with helpful advice from Shawn and listeners.
