This week we’re going to talk with Nick French from the FIRE The Family Podcast. We’re going to talk about his transition to a full work from home setup. But, first we’re going to talk about a major Palo Alto vulnerability and then the US’s discussing banning Chinese social media apps, including TikTok. Ian will tell us his delicious recipe for rotisserie chicken salad and then we’re going to discuss two new services that will hopefully make your life better. We may also have a bonus segment. We do. It’s going to be fun. Stick around.

This week we will pick back up with the second half of our interview with Caleb Jones, host of The Shed podcast. Ian and I had a lot more to cover with him and he had a lot more to say about his internship with a rather large company some of you may be familiar with if you’re in the audio space. Before we get to that, though, we have some news to cover. We will discuss some controversial legislation in the U.S. Senate that may change how we currently deal with cryptography and then we will talk about some good news come from Apple’s new Development Transition Kit. Numbers don’t lie, and these numbers look very promising. Ian will teach us all how to make a delicious New Orleans Mojito and then we will cover two services that will make your life easier in Ian’s Pick of the Week.

Thank you for joining us for another great episode of the Back From the Future Show. This week we have an exciting new segment in store for you. It’s an interview with a friend of the podcast, Caleb Jones. We’re going to discuss his entry into the IT field, which might knock loose the cobwebs for some of us folks that have been in the industry for a while now. Things are always changing rapidly and his story might be different from the one you had as you entered into this field. But, first we’ll get to the news by discussing some big news from Microsoft, what we learned about Apple’s ARM-based future, and a hot take from a Redditor on TikTok. Ian and I will discuss our upcoming certifications (some things have changed) and Ian will refresh us with a cool banana smoothie recipe, just in time for summer. Plus, to wrap things up Ian will tell us about two new picks which revolve around resumes and recommendation letters.

Today we're going to guide you through the complex world of career paths in I.T. There are so many different paths into this well-paying field, it can be a little overwhelming. We're going to cut through the confusion and get right to the heart of things. But, first we're going to cover some news such as Apple making a move from Intel to ARM, a talk about why Linux sucks by Bryan Lunduke, and an update on the Nintendo Breach we discussed back in Episode 1. Then, Ian will teach us how to cook his favorite Shrimp Scampi recipe and lastly we'll wrap things up by discussing a great Chrome extension to help you with your Google-Fu and a relocation calculator to help you determine how much you may need to earn depending on the city you plan on moving to. It's going to be a great episode. Stick around.

We are going to be talking about technology obsolescence. Are things pushed into premature obsolescence or does technology just move that fast? Does technology have a shelf-life? We will also discuss the upcoming Unreal Engine 5 and some of its groundbreaking achievements, plus Zoom’s stance on their new end-to-end encryption offering. That revelation may be a bit shocking. I also appeared as a guest on a podcast episode of The Shed that will mention briefly where we discussed YouTube, censorship, and social media. Ian will teach us how to cook Chicken Biryani–a dish near and dear to my heart from when I lived in the Middle East. Then we will touch on two new great pieces of software designed to make your personal confuser easier to use: a brightness controller for a secondary monitor on Mac and a new privacy-focused link shortener.

In this show we’re going to attempt to do things a little differently. This time around we have chosen a theme for the entire episode, which is cloud computing. First we will discuss a few topics we found in the news, which we thought would benefit our listeners, and then we will move into the main topic of this show. We will still follow that up with a few topics like cooking and software, so don’t worry, we have you covered. Please let us know what you think about this small change. You can reach us through email or Twitter for now. Please listen to the end of the episode to find out more. We hope we inspire you to go out there and make something 1% better today.
