For this Weeks TechtalkRadio Show Andy Taylor is joined by Shawn DeWeerd and Slick. They recap last week’s episode which looked at Midjourney with Justin's scary images created on the platform. The Video from the Show with those images is available on the Blog.techtalkradio.com. Slick, Shawn and Andy talk about doppelgangers and who each member of the show looks like. Andy shares that he believes Shawn looks like the grown-up version of the kid from Two and Half Men. Slick has been told he looks like Gil Scott Heron and Shawn brings up his image during the show which surprises everybody at the resemblance, almost as much as Andy's likeness in the 80's to film director John Landis. Andy shares a story of Driving on the Studio Lot at Universal and getting waved through. In a Non-Tech Direction in our idea to occasionally Unplug, Shawn tells us about Outdoor Axe Throwing during his recent Camping Trip. How much do your photos on services like Google Photos say about you? A discussion on how the services can identify products and images and share where you could buy products in your photos. Speaking of Google Photos found at photos.google.com through a google account, the crew shares how to upload photos from the computer to share on the service then be downloaded to a smart device.
Microsoft has made the announcement that WordPad is going away from the Windows Operating System. Slick gives us a background about Notepad and WordPad from his days working in Support and how these programs were created and why. Shawn shared info on an Alternate program to WordPad, Notepad ++. Slick tells us why he has loved that program. We find out that Slick has not heard about AlternativeTo.Net which can offer many Open-Source alternatives to programs for WordPad and office type apps. One of the recommendations is Open Office. Also discussed is alternatives to Video, Audio and Photo Editing. Shawn loves DaVinci Resolve.
Andy Taylor shares a product he will be featuring on this week’s KMSB Fox 11 Segment, the Sabrent USB 3.1 Enclosure for NVMe PCIe M Key M.2 SSD Enclosure. Make a Clone of your M.2 Drives or Connect to your USB 3.1 Port for a System without M.2 On Board. Andy also shares the ShiftCam Snapgrip which can not only turn your Smartphone into a more easily controlled camera, almost replicating the feel of a DSLR with its grip but also for QI capable devices, charge/power the smartphone while using it. Snapgrip connects the trigger button to the device via Bluetooth. Shawn shares with us some of the many great different products from ShiftCam.
