Tech in 10: Wi-Fi 7 Goes to School & RAMmageddon - The Sequel Nobody Asked For

Your network is about to get a major upgrade — and your next laptop is about to get a lot more expensive. In this episode of DALY's Tech in 10, Rick dives into the Wi-Fi 7 wave sweeping schools and government campuses, why Georgetown University just went all-in on a campus-wide wireless overhaul, and what Multi-Link Operation actually means for a cafeteria full of Chromebooks. Then, everyone's favorite budget nightmare is back: RAMmageddon got worse. Memory prices jumped another 90% this quarter, Apple hiked MacBook prices, analysts say the sub-$500 laptop might be going extinct, and Elon Musk says he might just start making his own chips. Cool. Cool cool cool. Rick connects the dots between your wireless roadmap and your device budget, and explains why the smartest move right now is treating them as one conversation — not two. Ten minutes. Two stories. One very strong cup of coffee. Producer: Shawn Smith

Tech in 10: RAMmageddon & The Conference Room That Fixed Itself

Your next laptop might cost a lot more — and your conference room might finally stop embarrassing you. This episode of DALY's Tech in 10 breaks down the global memory chip shortage that's driving device prices through the roof (they're literally calling it "RAMmageddon"), what it means for schools and government agencies planning their next refresh, and why you might want to buy now before your budget takes the hit. Then, we head to ISE 2026 in Barcelona where AI is quietly learning to fix your broken meeting rooms before you even walk in the door. Plus: Google Meet and Microsoft Teams are finally playing nice, and Rick has feelings about it. Ten minutes. Two stories. Zero broken projectors. Producer: Shawn Smith

Tech in 10: The Compute Episode — Why Your Next Hardware Refresh Can't Wait

Is your organization staring down a fleet of aging desktops, laptops, or workstations? You're not alone. In this episode, Rick from DALY breaks down why Virginia and Maryland SLED organizations need to start their compute conversations now — not next quarter. With DRAM prices up over 170%, OEMs announcing 15-20% price hikes, and shortages projected through 2028, the window to lock in pricing is closing fast. Plus, we dig into what to actually look for in a technology partner (hint: it's more than just a quote), why OEM-certified in-house repairs mean faster turnaround and local accountability, and how DALY helps schools, agencies, and universities stretch every dollar of their hardware budgets. Ten minutes (or so). No fluff. Just the stuff IT leaders actually need to hear. Producer: Shawn Smith

When Ransomware Hits: Building a Recovery Plan That Actually Works

You've got firewalls. You've got endpoint detection. But when ransomware locks your agency's data at 2 AM, how fast can you actually get back on your feet? In this episode, Rick from DALY sits down with Marlin McVay, Public Sector CTO and CISO at Cohesity, to break down why cyber resilience isn't the same as cybersecurity—and why treating recovery as an afterthought is a recipe for disaster. Marlin explains why security teams and infrastructure teams often don't talk until it's too late, shares the sobering stat that puts your odds of a ransomware attack at two in three, and reveals why some agencies end up in a "death loop" of recovering and re-detonating over a dozen times before they realize what's going wrong. Plus: why tabletop exercises are like D&D campaigns (helpful, but not the real thing), zero trust principles for your backup environment, and what a true cyber resilience maturity model looks like. Key Topics: Cyber security vs. cyber resilience—the critical distinctionBreaking down silos between IT infrastructure and security teamsZero trust capabilities for backup and recovery systemsWhy practice beats planning when the worst happensCohesity's unified approach to data protectionGuest: Marlin McVay, Public Sector CTO & CISO, Cohesity

Tech in 10: The Device Cliff & The AI Struggle -- Why Schools and Governments Are Stuck

Schools are facing a device apocalypse. Millions of laptops and Chromebooks purchased with pandemic emergency funding are hitting end-of-life—all at once. But the money that paid for them? Long gone. Meanwhile, state and local governments are under pressure to adopt AI, but only 3 states have actually made real progress. The rest are stuck in pilot project purgatory. In this episode of DALY Tech in 10, host Rick from DALY breaks down two critical challenges facing Maryland and Virginia schools and local governments: The Device Cliff - Why pandemic-era devices are failing simultaneously, how the end of ESSER funding created a replacement crisis, and what schools can do to avoid the digital divide widening again. The AI Adoption Struggle - Why 47 out of 50 states are still in early-stage AI experimentation, the four major barriers blocking progress, and what infrastructure you need BEFORE you can deploy AI successfully. Rick delivers practical insights for school technology directors, county IT leaders, and anyone managing public sector technology on tight budgets. Plus, dad jokes that are almost as painful as your device repair backlog. Topics covered: ESSER funding expiration, device lifecycle management, sustainable refresh cycles, AI governance frameworks, infrastructure requirements, workforce challenges, HP Futures initiative Perfect for: School CIOs, county IT directors, superintendents, public sector technology leaders in Maryland and Virginia

DALY Tech in 10- Showdown in Singapore and a Tech Mogul is Back

In this Tech in 10, Rick from DALY explores rising tensions between tech companies and the government in Singapore to battle spoofing and scam messages.

Then we'll discuss why one of the most prominent tech moguls, Jeff Bezos, is coming back and what his new venture could mean for the future of AI. His new Project Prometheus is shrouded in mystery, but one thing is for sure, it will be a game changer. Host: Rick from DALY Producer: Aaron Oman

DALY Tech in 10- Tech Giants Working Together and Spy Cars Taking Your Data

In this Tech in 10, we discuss how tech giants aren't just working against each other anymore... but they're working together. Apple is close to finalizing a deal to license Google's Gemini AI for Siri! Could this be a massive turning point with how companies interact with each other in this AI shift? Then we talk about how your car is spying on you. With high-tech cars now, data on your driving habits, routes, and more are constantly being taken and shared. This brings up the moral question of data responsibility and consent.
