Today we get to discuss the future of TikTok and some cool new features in IOS 14. Will Apple buy TikTok? Then we have an interview with Wilson Bautista. If you know someone who is interested in entering the cyber field from the military, this is the interview you should have them hear! Ian is done alphabetizing his vintage cookbook collection and just in time to bring us a classic, southern shrimp and grits recipe with a cheesy twist. I tell you why you should consider the new Yubikey and Ian has some great entertainment for all that COVID-19 downtime with Star Wars games and The Social Dilemma. Lastly, we will discuss Netcat, an old utility that still holds its own for tons of different tasks.

In this show we will discuss a recent cyber attack on the Baton Rouge Clinic. Yes, the same one that some of our fellow Engineers use. We will also talk about Epic’s battle with Apple over in-app purchases. The gaming giant is trimming hedges in Apple’s walled garden and Apple is not happy about it. After the news we will settle in with Eddie Thomason and get a dose of some much needed inspiration. After Hurricane Laura, we all need a reminder that things will get better. Ian has returned from Atlanta and he brings us a great recipe that is sure to put a smile on your face, because it’s easy and simple to make. After that we will look at an email finder service and Ian will teach us all of his cable management tricks, plus tell us about how he became USB-C man. Bringing up the rear, we’ll wrap things up with a funny new segment called Leave a Tip.

Today we’re going to discuss the anti-climatic future of TikTok. Was it secretly developed by Elon Musk and sold to the Chinese, only to be licensed back to us? Will we ever know the truth? Also, we’ll hear a story about what we in the industry call an “Insider Threat.” And, no, it’s not that hot and spicy burrito you ate last week. This story happened to someone else. After the news, we’ll have the first half of our interview with Eddie Thomason. He’s an author, speaker, and inspiration to others. That’s more than we can say for ourselves. Then, Ian will show us all how to watch our figure and eat healthier with pizza. After that, we have three picks this week: dynamic desktops, BGInfo, and a SSD PCI adapter. One of those things is not like the other. We cap it all off with a Learning Linux segment where we will discover how to cheat our way to success. That reminds me of my high school algebra class.

In this episode we’re going to see what list of companies want to purchase TikTok this week. Will it be Amazon? Will Microsoft cheat on Twitter? Will Wal-Mart get involved? The saga continues with our weekly installment of Big Trouble in Little TikTok. We will also see if Elon Musk has to now take the Hippocratic Oath. Will we discover if we are all living in Elon Musk’s simulation? We may be one step closer to finding out. Following that, we have the second half of our Cyber Security focused interview with Vanessa coming up after the news. Be sure to stick around for that. Also, this week Ian has come out of his hurricane hideout to provide us with a crock-pot recipe that will have you mailing him flowers. For our Picks of the Week we are celebrating the 25th anniversary of Windows 95 with a special online treat and Ian will tell us all about PlexPass. Is it worth it? They have the blockbuster Titanic. Oh, sorry, that’s Titanic 2. And rounding out the end of the episode we talk all about Wget. Did you know you can run a speed test from the terminal?

Welcome back on this easy Sunday, August 2nd, 2020. This week we have a great show in store for you. We’re going to discuss the difficulties faced by The Internet Archive over how they were lending books online and then we’re going to get into a topic that is a little controversial: the Big Four went before Congress this last week. Ian and I have a hot take on the issue, of course. After all of that we’ll wrap up the remainder of our insightful interview with Kyle St Jean. If you’re interested in development, you’re not going to want to miss this one. Iron Chef Ian will refresh us with a great Thai Iced Coffee recipe and then we will get to two interesting picks this week. One of them could be applied in your environment today and the other one is a blast from the past! We think you’re really going to like them. Lastly, Ian will teach us about Let’s Encrypt and why we should all be using it.

We talk about the resurrection of G4TV and why COBOL is not as bad as it was made out to be. We hear the first half of a great discussion Ian and I had with Kyle St Jean on learning development and many of the challenges he faced as a newcomer to this field, plus Ian shows us how to cook up a tasty treat as this summer starts to wind down. That’s right folks, it’s almost August! We discuss a great resource if you’re looking for that next great read and Ian will follow-up with his OSINT course with a lot of great resources to get you started. Lastly, we talk about a different way to get Linux onto your Windows computer. How do you think we’re going to do it?

This week we’re going to be continuing our interview with Nick French from the FIRE The Family podcast. We will be discussing the FIRE movement and how to plan for an early retirement with financial independence. Before that, we will touch on some topics pulled from the news. There is some interesting stuff happening down in Florida with DNA privacy, which we will discuss, and then Twitter had a pretty bad week, as well. Ian will teach us the importance of brining your meats? We will also discuss a company that adds a cultural fit to your job search and a cool new utility to help you get started with installing macOS on non-Apple hardware. We will also cover a bonus opportunity for some free learning for OSINT. Then, we will wrap things up with our fun new Linux segment, where we will discuss a cool Command Line utility called Midnight Commander.
