Host(s): Abram Nanney, Shane Chism, and Sabir Abdul-Haqq (www.yourebs.biz)Guest(s): Josh Whitehurst of First OrionTopic: 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.Email your tech questions and opinions to: everydaytech@mpbonline.org

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.Email your tech questions and opinions to: everydaytech@mpbonline.org

Host(s): Abram Nanney, Shane Chism, and Sabir Abdul-Haqq (www.yourebs.biz)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.Email your tech questions and opinions to: everydaytech@mpbonline.org

Host(s): Abram Nanney, Shane Chism, and Sabir Abdul-Haqq (www.yourebs.biz)Topic: At Everyday Tech, we sure do talk about AI a LOT! So, considering the general interest in AI, I decided to put together a show compiling some of the many times we’ve discussed it over the past year or so. From our very first show together, to just recently, Sabir, Shane, and I have had a lot to say about artificial intelligence and have even had a few expert guests on to help us learn about the subject.Email your tech questions and opinions to: everydaytech@mpbonline.org

Host(s): Abram Nanney, Shane Chism, and Sabir Abdul-Haqq (www.yourebs.biz)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.Email your tech questions and opinions to: everydaytech@mpbonline.org
