This week on SouthGeek News, the gang dives headfirst into the holiday creep—yes, it’s already pumpkins, turkeys, and Christmas lights all battling for shelf space at Lowe’s. Donovan shares how his house has become a year-round “holiday tree zone” while Ben and Sam confess their own festive quirks (spoiler: seven Christmas trees might be too many).
 
Sam plugs his new voice-acting project Everly Heights Tales, which sounds like if Parks and Rec and Twilight Zone had a baby and raised it in Ohio. Donovan flirts with the idea of using AI voices for screenplays, only to get roasted by Sam for being a “soulless robot enabler.”
 
Tech talk gets juicy with stories from the trenches—Windows 11 upgrades that required more prayers than drivers, cloud storage projects that push terabytes like it’s nothing, and thin clients that are somehow still too expensive to make sense. Apple’s latest toys hit the spotlight too: iPhone 17 models, the wafer-thin iPhone Air (aka “the Kate Moss of smartphones”), and AirPods Pro 3 that might finally stay in your ears instead of popping out like champagne corks.
 
Cloudflare flexes its muscles against the largest DDoS attack ever (11.5 Tbps of “Nope”), Apple TV+ quietly hikes its price again, and Sam resurrects the Weird File with a personal bombshell—a tattoo he didn’t sign up for. Yep, you read that right.
 
From haunted subdivisions to folding phones nobody asked for, it’s another episode where geek meets snark, and tech meets therapy.
