June 10, 2021Tech News Weekly 187: The Everyday Impact of Ransomware
Ransomware attacks are affecting more than just big, faceless corporations. They've closed schools, delayed chemotherapy appointments, and caused panic. Jason Howell goes hands on with Google's new Pixel Buds A Series. Mikah Sargent shares some of the things you may have missed from Apple's WWDC 2021. The FBI orchestrated a complex operation to fight encrypted criminal activities ... with a phone service.

First, Heather Kelly stops in to talk about her piece in The Washington Post about ransomware attacks. These attacks are impacting the lives of everyday people — including those in hospitals, at school, and folks looking to fill their gas tanks.

Then, Jason Howell gives a quick hands-on review of Google's new Pixel Buds A-Series. He highlights the differences between the new model and their predecessor, the Pixel Buds.

Then, Mikah Sargent shares some tidbits you might have missed from Apple's WWDC Keynote.

Finally, Joseph Cox of Vice shares his fascinating piece about an FBI operation aimed at encrypted criminal activity. It all starts with a phone service.

May 27, 2021Tech News Weekly 185: An Accessible Return to Work
As folks around the world plan their return to the office, advocates are pushing for a sustained — and improved — focus on accessibility. Samsung's Galaxy Upcycling program seemed promising, but the company kind of ruined what was once a great idea. Facebook announced it would start limiting individual accounts that routinely spread misinformation. A study looking at the activity of those who work from home indicates folks are getting a lot more done during their 9 to 5 than just their 9 to 5.
First, Abrar Al-Heeti of CNET stops by to talk about her enlightening piece regarding accessibility and the pandemic. While some aspects of digital accessibility have improved, advocates are asking for the focus to continue as folks begin to return to the office.
Then, Kevin Purdy of iFixit.com discusses Samsung's Galaxy Upcycling Program, a way for folks to use their old Galaxy devices in new ways. Despite it sounding like a great idea, Samsung kind of ruined it.
Then, Mikah shares a story about Facebook limiting the reach of personal accounts that spread misinformation on the social network.
Lastly, Jason talks about a new study that reveals some of the things folks are doing during the workday — including napping, shopping, having sex, and dating. But if they're getting their work done, is it all that bad?
