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.

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.

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. This causes many people to shell up or run away when any website or app asks for their information. However, there are some online spaces that ask for your information to help you. Today, we’re joined by Andre McGregor from ForceMetrics to discuss the impact online data can have on public safety.

It really seems like we can’t catch a break, but luckily the NSA also issued a press release recently detailing how you can prevent cyberattacks on your personal smart devices. We’ll share those tips and explain them to you later.

Topic: This past week a HUGE new scam hit Mississippi callers and phone users of a text message pretending to be the Mississippi Department of Vehicles. And you heard that right it is a scam, so don’t click the links, don’t respond, and please don’t give any information. We learned through this that Mississippi is the Number One State in the country for phone users receiving unwanted spam and scam calls.

Topic: We’ve been doing this show so long, sometimes we kind of forget that some people listening may not know exactly what we’re talking about sometimes. We use technical terms like BIOS or Bandwidth so regularly, that we figured it’s time to explain what some of these things are.

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.
