This episode is a wild ride through the week's tech news. We have flamethrowers, life-saving drones, half of us going to Africa, and an NPR caliber story like we've never done before. As always, our goal is to provide you practical information to tech better with plenty of fun mixed in.

We start off with one last 'amazing' product from CES. Then we get on with the technology news/tips of the week and ended up with an oddly music-filled episode. Hopefully, by the end, you will learn something new and understand technology, and Nate and Dave, a bit better.

CES did not fail to disappoint, yes we said that right. Unless you need a smart toilet, there probably wasn't much for you. We talk about what we thought might be worth sharing from the year's largest tech event in Vegas. Then we get down to business helping you tech better and keep up on the world of tech.

With CES just getting started the big news this week has been the Meltdown and Spectre issues with computer processors. You probably don't fully understand the issue, but guess what? We don't either and not quite sure anyone does. Plenty of other good tech news and tips to be discussed as well.

Even over the holidays, we find some tech news you need to know. We also have some good discussion on photo management, wireless charging, and screen time for parents.
