Home Gadget Geeks Jim Collison

Jim is back from the East Coast and has been using travel tech all week. He purchased the Echo Auto right before the trip on Amazon Prime Days sale for $20 and has a report. He also navigates the nearly 4000 miles using Waze and found some interesting options as well as a huge error that cost him several hours of travel, but took him to the interesting spots. Mike talks about how he is using Microsoft ToDo and then talks Jim into ordering the iPhone 12 (mostly in the post show). All that and more!

Liviu Arsene  [0:31] 

All right, so as you already said, I’m a global cyber security researcher for bitdefender. I’ve been with the company for the better part of a decade now and close to celebrating my 10 year anniversary with bit defender. my current role is actually interfacing with research and investigation teams, and do malware forensic analysis. So basically, what I do is try to, if you will interpret the really technical language and the really detailed, researched investigations that comes from our forensics team, and try to present them in a way that even our marketing guys can understand what to do with them.

This week we have Kyle Wilcox back with us to chat about the IPEVO V4K Ultra High Definition USB Document Camera and how that can fill in as webcam in a pinch. We also take a long look at the Rode Wireless GO Compact Digital Wireless Microphone System that Kyle is using for classrooms and public events. We then looked at the MEVO Start Live Streaming Camera and it’s many uses! We finish the show with some discussion around the new Xbox and which one to get! Kyle commits to a pfSense document for setting it up with a VM and asks for community help with an auto starter for his cars.
