In this week's show, Justin and Andy are joined by Slick to cover the latest in Tech News and Trends. This week kicks off another discussion on Artificial Intelligence after an email from Mario, who enjoyed the exchange of ideas in last weeks show. Andy shares that he believes that A.I. could be used for good and non-tracking purposes, while Justin and Slick think that Andy may just be living under a rock. Film Director James Cameron, has stated that this is exactly what he was warning about in the film "Terminator" with Skynet and Self-Learning Technology. How could writing code for technology be made faster and easier with AI? Andy talks about how we have used technology to replace certain jobs, with one example being the very basic self-checkout at stores. However, there has been a backlash from people who use self-checkout and hate sharing the receipt when leaving the store. We received a text to the show from Cecilia asking for guidance on hooking up a wireless printer. Justin has a unique and different approach to this repair. The guys also share an extra step in securing serial numbers and master passwords, which requires some "Old School" methods.

Last week, the big movies released to theaters were "Oppenheimer" and "Barbie." The film industry has changed quite a bit, and the guys wonder why big blockbusters like "Mission Impossible" and "Indiana Jones" don't seem to have the staying power as movies did in the past. Are viewers wanting the movie experience in their homes, and how can theaters continue to attract moviegoers? The SAG/AFTRA Strike could be having an effect as those actors and actresses are not allowed to promote the films they have done under SAG/AFTRA rules. The guys also discuss how this strike has affected Comic Con in San Diego.

On last weeks show, Justin told us about a not-so-pleasant experience with a computer he ordered. Slick shares with us his updated laptop and how even adding 128GB of memory hasn't fixed the issue of slow performance. When the guys question Slick on other important specs, it turns out he was running on a 256GB hard drive and had hibernation mode enabled. Andy talks about a product he is taking a look at, which is designed to clean the print heads on a clogged Ink Jet Printer. The XC Inkjet kit is specifically designed to clean those blocked heads of a printer, especially if it has been in storage for a while. Justin tells us about his Color Laserjet printer and how he has been impressed with the printouts from that printer.

The guys also discuss "X," formerly known as Twitter, and they wonder why this rebranding has happened. Justin gives us his take on what is happening and believes that Elon Musk is looking to replicate WeChat's many features, including payment systems.
