Host(s): Abram Nanney and Sabir Abdul-Haqq (www.yourebs.biz)Guest(s): Dr. Nikisha WareTopic: 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.Email your tech questions and opinions to: everydaytech@mpbonline.orgIf you enjoyed listening to this podcast, please consider contributing to MPB: https://donate.mpbfoundation.org/mspb/podcast

Host(s): Abram Nanney and Sabir Abdul-Haqq (www.yourebs.biz)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.Email your tech questions and opinions to: everydaytech@mpbonline.orgIf you enjoyed listening to this podcast, please consider contributing to MPB: https://donate.mpbfoundation.org/mspb/podcast
