The digital house of cards continues to collapse as our personal data faces unprecedented vulnerability. This week, we reveal how the Department of Government Efficiency's reckless handling of over 300 million Americans' Social Security numbers could lead to a massive security crisis. After repeatedly warning about these dangers, our predictions are unfortunately coming true - just as we've seen with Taco Bell's embarrassing AI drive-thru experiment.
Remember when Microsoft promised Windows 10 would be "the last operating system you'd ever need"? That promise expires October 14th, 2025, when support officially ends. But don't panic - we break down exactly how to secure free extended security updates through 2026 using Microsoft Rewards points. With nearly half of all PC users worldwide still running Windows 10, Microsoft has been forced to create options for those who can't or won't upgrade to Windows 11.
The technology failures continue mounting as TransUnion joins Equifax and Experian in the data breach hall of shame. Despite claims of "limited exposure," dark web samples reveal the credit bureau leaked names, addresses, phone numbers, and unredacted Social Security numbers for 4.4 million Americans. When all three major credit reporting agencies have been compromised, who can we trust with our most sensitive information?
Our Two Truths and a Lie segment challenges listeners to separate fact from fiction in today's outlandish tech landscape, while Mike's Mesmerizing Moment examines why the constant pursuit of new technology doesn't actually make us happier. We also take a nostalgic journey back to 1977 when Pioneer 11 made history as the first human-made object to fly past Saturn.
Grab your favorite whiskey and join us as we navigate this technological minefield together. Whether you're concerned about your digital privacy, struggling with Windows upgrade decisions, or just want to hear which bourbon earned our unanimous approval this week, Tech Time Radio delivers the insights you need with the humor that makes complex tech digestible.
