Podcasts about touchscreens

Everyone's starting a side business right now. A product, a brand, a little something on the side that might just take off. Acacia actually did it. She and her partner built PuraU, a natural skincare and gut brand, out of her own years of struggling with acne. And in this episode she tells the real story, not the highlight reel.It started with her own skin. Years of the pill, antibiotics, Accutane, naturopaths she could barely afford, and nothing that lasted. So she set out to build the thing she wished she'd had. What she's honest about is everything that came after. They launched to crickets and didn't make a sale for two weeks. They cold called journalists themselves when the expensive PR agency did nothing. It took three years before the business turned a profit, and three years before they paid themselves a wage.If you've ever sat on an idea waiting until you had enough money, or felt behind watching everyone else online look like an overnight success, this one will land. Acacia is proof that the unglamorous version is the real one, and that the people who make it are simply the ones who stick it out.What we coverBuilding PuraU from Acacia's own years of acne and trying everythingLaunching the website and not making a single sale for two weeksCold calling journalists herself instead of paying a PR agencyWhy a great product means nothing if nobody can find itLearning Facebook ads herself to stop relying on one off PR spikesThe three years it took before breaking through, making a profit, or paying themselvesComparison, social media, and the false reality of replacing your income in four weeksKnowing your customer because you were your customerPushing into chemists and skin clinics, and the setbacks that nearly broke themShe built it from nothing, on persistence not luck, and she's only just getting started.You'll find the whole range at purau.com.au, plus there's a quick skin quiz to find your own starting point.FAQsHow long does it really take to build a successful business?For Acacia and PuraU it took three years before the business made a profit or paid them a wage. The overnight success stories you see online usually hide years of work that happened before the launch.Do you need money and business experience to start a brand?Acacia was a nurse with no business background and sold her car to help fund the brand. What carried them was resilience and a willingness to learn each part themselves rather than pay someone else to do it.What is PuraU?PuraU is an Australian made skincare and gut health brand, formulated with microbiologists to treat the root cause of acne rather than the surface. It was created by Acacia and her partner out of their own experience with skin and gut issues.Mentioned in this episode:https://www.salonrising.com

You already know AI can tidy up a caption. Most salon owners stop right there. Renee from Salon Society and Jen do not.In this Mini Moment the two of them fall down a happy little rabbit hole on all the other ways AI quietly takes the load off a busy owner. Not the marketing stuff. The day to day stuff that clogs up your head and steals your day off.Renee, who is in salon in Perth every week, shares the exact thing she did after a five hour client meeting. One voice note, dropped into Claude with a bit of context, came back as a full action list of who does what. If you want to go deeper on this kind of thing, Renee teaches the whole system in her online course, How to Market Your Beauty Business Online.Jen then talks through how she runs her admin days now, from sorting her inbox to building apprentice training plans, so the mental load stops living rent free in her head. This one is for anyone who has ever sat staring at a to do list with no idea where to start. Especially the neurodivergent owners, who Jen speaks to straight here. AI does not replace you. It just clears the path so you can actually get going.What we coverWhy AI is for so much more than checking your captionsTurning a long staff meeting into a clear action list in a minuteThe voice note habit that writes your client content for youGiving AI proper context so it sounds like you, not genericUsing AI to sort and triage your inbox on admin daysBuilding apprentice training plans that are easy to actually followAI as a way past analysis paralysis and the never ending listWhy it buys back time without ever doing the work for youDip your toe in. The water is warm, and your next day off will thank you.FAQsHow can salon owners use AI for more than writing captions? AI can turn a long staff meeting into a clear action list, sort your inbox, and build training plans for your apprentices. The trick is giving it context about your salon so the output sounds like you, not generic.How do you use a voice note to create salon content with AI? Record a quick voice note about a client's consultation on your phone, then drop the transcription into a tool like Claude or ChatGPT. Ask it to write the caption as a story about that client, and you get content in your own voice in seconds.Does using AI mean it replaces the salon owner? No. AI does not do the work or send your emails for you. It speeds up the planning and thinking you already do, so you take actionMentioned in this episode:

You know the feeling. You post the last minute cancellation, the one that used to fill within the hour, and now it just sits there. The Monday DMs that used to be mental are quiet. The new client requests that used to roll in are a trickle. You are not imagining it, and you are not doing anything wrong.In this episode, Sam and Jen are joined by one of Sam's dearest friends and the final piece of her rat pack, Rach from Halo Hair and Beauty in Tweed. Fourteen years a salon owner, six years an educator, and refreshingly honest about what has actually shifted in this industry. Rach and the girls get into the thing most owners are quietly worried about and almost no one is saying out loud. The clients are not coming the way they used to, building a new column is harder than it has been in years, and the old playbook of post on Monday and fill by Friday does not work anymore.This is a real conversation about the new landscape of the Australian salon industry. Why younger clients are skipping colour altogether. Why the hate around pricing online misses what a haircut actually costs to deliver. Why a smaller team has quietly become the smarter, calmer, more profitable choice. And the slow shift that comes with time in the chair, when you stop chasing the bigger salon and start enjoying the one you already built.What we coverWhy building a new client column is so much harder than ten years agoThe new client landscape and why last minute spots no longer fill the way they didYounger clients going natural and skipping colour, and what that does to the booksThe online hate around salon pricing and the real cost behind a haircutWhy a smaller team often means better culture, less tax and more profitKnowing your numbers and team targets so you are not paying people to do nothingWhy going back to basics is the skill apprentices are missingChoosing to enjoy the salon you have built instead of always chasing moreSome weeks the most powerful thing you can do is jump in, do what you need, and jump back out.FAQsWhy is it harder to build a new client column now than it used to be? Demand has shifted, so the steady stream of new clients many salons relied on has slowed right down. More people are going natural or stretching out appointments, which means fewer new bookings and a slower build for newer team members.Is a smaller salon team better than a bigger one? For many owners, yes. A smaller team can mean stronger culture, less time spent managing people, and a lower wage, tax and superannuation load, which often leaves the business more profitable and far less stressful to run.Why do salon prices feel so high right now? A haircut or colour covers far more than the time in the chair. Rent, stock, insurance, superannuation and tax all come out of that price, and rising client expectations mean each service takes more time and skill than it used to.Mentioned in this episode:

Most salon owners think branding is the colours, the logo and the name above the door. Tegan from Moosh used to think that too. Then she realised her brand had quietly gone missing, not because she got the visuals wrong, but because she had stopped knowing who she was actually talking to.In this Mini Moment, Tegan joins Jen to pull branding apart in plain language. The thing that brought hers back was almost too simple. She stopped posting to everyone and started posting to one favourite client, a real person, as if she was talking only to her. From there the feeling, the team and the whole vibe of Moosh fell back into place.This is an honest, practical chat about why your brand is a feeling more than a colour, why your team is part of it whether you planned that or not, and why two salons right here in Australia can share the exact same palette and still feel like nothing alike.What we coverWhy your brand is a feeling, not just your colours and logoThe one client trick that makes your posts actually landHow a busy salon quietly loses its brand without noticingWorking out who you really want sitting in your chairWhy your team and their personalities are part of your brandPosting to attract the right client instead of everyoneThe difference between the look of a salon and the feeling of itYour colours were never the brand. The feeling people walk into always was.What makes up a salon brand? A salon brand is the feeling people get from you, not just your colours, logo or name. It comes from who you serve, how your team shows up and how clients feel in your space.How do I find my salon brand? Start by picturing one favourite client and speak only to her, the way Tegan from Moosh did. Once you know who you are talking to, your colours, tone and team culture fall into place around her.Why does my salon brand feel off? Most brands feel off when the salon gets busy and the owner loses sight of who they are speaking to. The fix is rarely new colours, it is getting clear on your person again.Mentioned in this episode:https://www.salonrising.com

You have done everything right. The website is beautiful, the work is gorgeous, the reels go up. So why does it feel like you are shouting into a void while new faces still trickle in from who knows where? This episode answers the who knows where, and the answer has changed.Jen sits down with Renee from Salon Society, for a conversation that started over dinner and turned into a deep dive neither of them wanted to end. Renee has seen this industry from every side. A mature age apprentice who became a Kevin Murphy educator. Then a sales rep who built a territory on relationships. Then a social media agency owner running it all between nap times. And now someone who lives inside the world of AI marketing for salons. She is not teaching theory. She is in salon every week watching real new clients walk in and asking every single one of them how they found the place.What she is finding will change how you think about marketing in 2026. One woman booked a curly hair appointment after typing "best curly hairdresser south Perth" into ChatGPT. Renee shares the real numbers, the multi step path a client takes before they book, and the holes in the bucket that quietly cost you the clients you already worked hard to attract. There is also a tender thread running underneath all of it, about success, motherhood, and the day her son threw her phone across the room and she realised she had built the business but forgotten to pivot it.If this conversation lights something up in you, Renee teaches the full system behind it, building a digital presence that brings in bookings without posting more or chasing trends, in her own online course.What we coverHow clients are now using AI tools like ChatGPT to find a salon, and what that means for youThe one thing to become obsessed with in 2026, knowing exactly where your new clients come fromWhy a referred client can find you and still not book, and how to plug the holes in your bucketOptimising your socials, website and Google Business Profile so AI can actually find youWhy your captions matter again, and the problem and solution story every caption should tellBuilding an evergreen content strategy so you can stop chasing trends and get off the hamster wheelUsing AI to amplify your brand voice instead of replacing itRenee's own pivots, from the salon floor to education to agency to AI, and knowing when each season is overWhat success actually felt like, and the honest cost of chasing moreThis is the episode that makes the AI shift feel less like a threat and more like the most useful thing to happen to salon marketing in years.FAQsHow do salon clients find a business using AI like ChatGPT? Clients type a plain question into an AI tool, such as the best hairdresser for a service in their suburb, and the AI answers by pulling from your socials, website, Google reviews and listed services. The more consistent and specific your content is across those places, the more likely AI is to recommend you.What is the one thing salon owners should focus on in 2026? Become obsessed with knowing where your new clients actually come from by asking every new client how they found you and whether that is when they booked. Once you know what is working, you can make more of that content instead of chasing new clients online for hours.Do captions still matter for salon social media? Yes, more than ever. AI reads the words in your captions and on screen text to understand what your content is about, so a caption that names the service, the client's problem and the solution is what helps you get found and booked.Mentioned in this episode:https://www.salonrising.com

Die spitzeste Zunge der Stadt hat genug von Touchscreens mit tausend Funktionen!

In dieser Folge sprechen Rüdiger Trost und Tobias Schrödel über eine bunte Mischung aus Polit-Phishing, KI-Überwachung, CarPlay-Wunschlisten und einem Krypto-Scam mit Schusswechsel. Signal-Phishing trifft den Bundestag Bundestagspräsidentin Julia Klöckner sowie zwei Bundesministerinnen (Karin Prien, CDU, und Verena Hubert, SPD) wurden Opfer einer Signal-Phishing-Attacke. Eine gefälschte Nachricht vom angeblichen "Signal-Support" erschlich sich ihre PINs – und ermöglichte damit eine Account-Übernahme. Signal selbst wurde dabei nicht gehackt. Mögliche Urheberschaft: russische Akteure. Als Reaktion forderte Bundestagsvizepräsidentin Andrea Lindholz den Wechsel auf den europäischen Messenger Wire. iOS-Patch gegen FBI Apple schloss mit iOS/iPadOS 18.4.2 die Lücke, über die das FBI in der Vergangenheit gelöschte Signal-Nachrichten aus Push-Notification-Datenbanken rekonstruieren konnte. Tobias gesteht: Den Komfortverlust durch deaktivierte Nachrichtenvorschauen nimmt er nicht mehr in Kauf. Tim Cook tritt zurück Ab September soll John Ternus, bisheriger Hardware-Chef bei Apple, das Ruder übernehmen. Was er als erstem CEO-Auftritt vorzeigen wird – MacBook Pro mit Touchscreen? Foldable iPhone? – bleibt abzuwarten. FCC-Routerverbot verschärft Entgegen der eigenen Vorhersage hat die US-Regulierungsbehörde FCC das Verbot von WLAN-Routern ohne US-Produktion nicht zurückgenommen, sondern ausgeweitet – jetzt auch auf mobile WLAN-Hotspots. Ausnahmegenehmigungen für bereits eingelagerte Geräte gelten befristet. Rüdiger und Tobias bleiben bei ihrer Einschätzung: Das wird nicht von Dauer sein. Rockstar-Hack macht Aktienkurs froh Die Gruppe Shiny Hunters erbeutete interne Daten von Rockstar Games und veröffentlichte sie nach verweigertem Lösegeld. Darin enthalten: GTA Online verdient ca. eine Million Dollar pro Tag – obwohl nur rund 400.000 von 9 Millionen wöchentlichen Spielern tatsächlich Geld ausgeben. Der Aktienkurs stieg. Krypto-Scam mit Kanonenschuss Vor der Straße von Hormuz überzeugten Kriminelle einen indischen Tanker, einer gefälschten Bitcoin-Wallet der Iranischen Revolutionsgarden eine Million Dollar zu überweisen – und fuhr dann los. Die echten Revolutionsgarden beschossen das Schiff. Es gibt Tonmitschnitte des panischen Funkverkehrs und Tracking-Screenshots, wie der Tanker auf offener See auf dem Absatz kehrtmacht. KI-Themen der Woche - Meta überwacht alle Mitarbeiterbewegungen (Maus, Klicks, Screenshots) zur KI-Trainierung – datenschutzrechtlich in der EU nicht zulässig. - Microsoft Copilot-AGB: "For entertainment purposes only" – also eigentlich nichts für den geschäftlichen Einsatz. - KI-Versicherungen: Existieren, zahlen aber laut Insider nicht wirklich aus. - Wem gehört KI-generierter Code? Claude sagt: dem Nutzer. Die Rechtslage ist ungeklärt. CarPlay Feature Request Rüdigger erfindet die "Surrounding Aware Playlist": Das Auto weiß, wer sitzt wo – also bitte kein Vaiana-Soundtrack mehr, wenn Daddy allein im Wagen Rage Against the Machine hören will. -- Links zur Folge immer auf https://podcast.ichglaubeeshackt.de/ Wenn Euch unser Podcast gefallen hat, freuen wir uns über eine Bewertung!

In this episode, we go deep on a wild weekend of open hardware hacking across the 256 Foundation community. Skot walks us through getting Mujina running on an S19j Pro with Wi‑Fi via a hidden USB port, plus a USB hub and a repurposed open source touchscreen to display live hashrate, temps, and fan data—laying the groundwork for a tidy, Wi‑Fi‑connected, touchscreen miner retrofit. We also riff on AI‑assisted CAD and browser automation for rapid prototyping, and brainstorm practical home‑heating integrations: using LibreBoard as the bridge between standard 24V thermostats and miners, ramp control vs. binary heat calls, PID loops, and the real limits of tuning frequency on different firmwares and machines. Beyond the bench, we celebrate Schnitzel's Doom-on‑LibreBoard test, discuss the path to open firmware on WhatsMiners, and the hardware hacks that open firmware makes obsolete (farewell, trick boards). We hit PSU mods for 120V, LuxOS's new “ignore PSU link” option, Stratum V2 progress including BlitzPool's solo pool and non‑custodial PPLNS roadmap, and what a node‑native, open, block-template app could unlock. We close by shouting out OpenSats' Open Hardware Impact report (Bitaxe, BitShoka/BitSoka Nini), recent hardestblocks.org features, the growing roster on dash.256f.org, and community builds from BitForge Nano to filament dryers heated by hashrate. Catch the 256 crew live in Vegas next week for panels on open hardware and human rights.

Puntata registrata in extremis a 10 minuti dalla pubblicazione! Nessun taglio, solo un flusso di coscienza sulla nuova, presunta e (forse) folle strategia di Apple. Se un Apple Watch Ultra o un iPhone Ultra (pieghevole) hanno senso, che senso ha un "MacBook Ultra"? I rumor parlano di un nuovo livello top di gamma con display OLED, touchscreen e Face ID a prezzi esorbitanti.

A recent article in The Conversation on-line newsletter articles written by professional researchers titled “Yes, those big touchscreens in cars are dangerous and buttons are coming back” highlights a growing recognition that technology often moves faster than our ability to use it safely. To add perspective, we're replaying an interview recorded four years ago with Emeritus Professor Mike Regan, who had been working in this field well before it became a popular talking point. He discusses the importance of linking engineering with psychology through his work in human factors, and why transport systems must be designed around human limits. Most striking is his reflection on predictions made nearly 30 years ago about increasing driver distraction, and whether those warnings have now come true. It's a reminder that some of today's “new” debates have been quietly building for decades.

I spend the first part of the show excited about my Commodore 64 Ultimate shipping this month and talk about my favorite C64 game as a kid that most people had never heard of - Agent USA. (It wasn't that great.) There is a class action lawsuit in the UK against Valve over their 30% fee on every transaction, and I explain why Valve is the target right now and not any of the other storefronts that also have a 30% fee. Sony has patented a controller that has movable buttons on a touchscreen, and I talk about why it will be great as an option, but not a replacement for tactile buttons. Then we talk to OLR about accessible controllers.

As vehicle dashboards rely more heavily on touchscreens, concerns are growing about driver distraction. ANCAP says it will reward higher safety ratings to cars that reintroduce physical buttons for basic functions, encouraging drivers to keep their eyes on the road. Managing Editor of NZ Autocar magazine, Richard Edwards spoke to Lauren Crimp.

Dr. Federico Faggin is a physicist, engineer, and the inventor of the microprocessor - the technology which paved the way for the digital age; making modern computing, the internet, and smartphones possible. In recent decades, Federico has turned his attention to developing a scientific theory of consciousness based on the latest developments in quantum physics. In this conversation, we explore: — How “quantum fields” may possess consciousness and free will as fundamental properties — Why meaning, not information alone, is the foundation of reality — How Federico's theory explains the relationship between the body, mind, and consciousness — Why cooperation and love, rather than competition, emerge as the natural organizing principles in this framework And more. You can learn more about Dr. Faggin's work in his book "Irreducible". — Federico Faggin, born in Vicenza, Italy, is a physicist and pioneering inventor in computing. He co-designed one of Italy's first transistorized computers, developed the MOS Silicon Gate Technology, and led the creation of the world's first microprocessor, the Intel 4004. He founded Zilog, Cygnet Technologies, and Synaptics, pioneering innovations like the Z80 microprocessor, Touchpad, and Touchscreen. Today, he leads the Federico and Elvia Faggin Foundation, advancing the scientific study of consciousness. Faggin has received major honors including the Marconi Prize, Kyoto Prize, National Medal of Technology, and induction into the National Inventors Hall of Fame. His autobiography, SILICON: From the Invention of the Microprocessor to the New Science of Consciousness, is available worldwide. --- Interview Links: — Dr. Faggin's X account: https://x.com/fedefaggin?lang=en — Dr. Faggin's book: https://amzn.to/4rUbshE

En la edición de hoy del Radar Empresarial revisamos con detalle las cifras más recientes de Hewlett-Packard y el severo ajuste de plantilla que la compañía ha decidido implementar. La multinacional ha anunciado que prescindirá de 6.000 trabajadores tras presentar una previsión de beneficios más débil para el ejercicio fiscal de 2026. HP calcula que sus ganancias por acción se situarán entre 2,90 y 3,20 dólares, unos veinte centavos por debajo de lo que anticipaban los analistas. El recorte de plantilla implicará costos laborales y operativos que rondarán los 650 millones de dólares, además de unos 250 millones destinados específicamente al próximo año fiscal. A pesar de este escenario prudente, la compañía reportó resultados mejores de lo esperado, al superar los 14.000 millones en ingresos y alcanzar un beneficio por acción de 93 centavos, ligeramente por encima del consenso del mercado. Este desempeño se ve reforzado por un contrato federal de 931 millones para modernizar la infraestructura tecnológica de la Agencia de Sistemas de Información de Defensa. El acuerdo representa aproximadamente el 2,8% de la facturación de HP, aunque la empresa enfrenta complicaciones legales. Un juez federal en San José permitió que varios estados del país intervinieran en la adquisición de Juniper Networks, una operación valorada en 14.000 millones de dólares. Aunque el Departamento de Justicia ya había dado luz verde a la compra, el magistrado Casey Pitts decidió reabrir el expediente. No obstante, aclaró que no indagará en las circunstancias que rodearon el proceso, limitándose a evaluar aspectos formales del caso. La trayectoria de Hewlett-Packard refleja el clásico relato del emprendimiento estadounidense. Sus fundadores, William Hewlett y David Packard, dieron vida a la compañía en 1939 trabajando en un modesto garaje, donde comenzaron fabricando equipos de prueba para laboratorios. Su gran salto llegó en 1968 con la popularización de sus calculadoras electrónicas, y en los años ochenta introdujeron su primer ordenador, el Touchscreen 150.

In this conversation, I'm joined by mathematician, meditator, and machine learning engineer Blake Hull. We share stories of therapy, meditation, and Ram Dass, opening up after years of staying in the head, we unravel ideas of masculinity, expand on vulnerability, and dissect what it means to become safe in our own skin. We talk about anger as sacred energy, the strange geometry of emotion, and the daily ritual of saying “Good morning, Blakey Boy” - a quiet reminder that to heal isn't to change, it's to remember who you already are. This is a fluid dialogue that drifts through psychedelics, softness, the mathematics of love, friendship, wisdom - it's an episode that invites you to slow down, breathe, and feel something true. Together, The Great and Wonderful Blake Hull and I explore the space between intellect, emotion, and becoming what we are - I hope you'll join us.Themes: therapy · masculinity · meditation · Ram Dass · psychedelics · inner-child · emotional intelligence · spiritual growthNotable quotes from the episode:“When intellect finally kneels to emotion, that's when growth begins.” - Blake, describing the moment logic yields to honesty.“Emotions are information. You'd be stupid to ignore them.” - Blake quoting a college professor who first reframed feeling as intelligence.“When Jesus flipped tables, that was dharmic anger — anger in service of love.” - Jacob, reframing anger as sacred energy rather than chaos.“I feel most connected with you when you're feeling.”- Blake recounting a moment in therapy that changed his understanding of connection and vulnerability.“Maybe consciousness has always been doing this — reflecting itself through whatever new medium we invent.” - Jacob, near the close, connecting AI, identity, and awareness.“Anger isn't the problem. It's what happens when we stop letting it teach us.” - Blake, redefining emotional intelligence through presence.TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 – Intro: Setting up, laughter, first exchange, Blake's Bio00:02:15 – “I feel most connected when you're feeling” – therapy and awareness00:05:00 – Logic vs emotion: learning how to feel again00:07:25 – Emotional intelligence and inner safety00:10:45 – Anger as sacred energy (“dharmic anger”)00:12:10 – Modern society, Idiocracy, and humor as medicine00:15:23 – Aldous Huxley, psychedelics, and self-reflection00:16:09 – Paul Stamets, microdosing, and consciousness00:20:00 – Mushrooms, meditation, and integration00:26:00 – Masculinity and vulnerability00:31:00 – Meditation: honesty over peace00:36:03 – “Good morning, Blakey Boy” – the inner-child ritual00:40:03 – Ego, death, and Ram Dass on becoming somebody00:45:00 – Comic relief: fart jokes and humility00:50:00 – Math and metaphysics: when numbers become poetry00:58:48 – Math as beauty and the language of existence01:00:26 – Group theory, triangles, and the philosophy of structure01:02:06 – Did humans discover or invent math?01:10:00 – Humor, curiosity, and teaching through questions01:13:34 – The future of math, AI, and physics (the long view)01:14:13 – Ray Kurzweil and his father's digital journals01:15:15 – iPhone, exponential tech, and AI acceleration01:16:00 – Touchscreens, prediction, and futurism01:20:00 – Consciousness and machine learning01:30:00 – Human identity in the age of algorithms01:37:01 – AI anxiety, UBI, and the ethics of automation01:43:56 – Consciousness itself: What is it, really?02:00:00 – Journaling, memory, and the desire to preserve the self02:14:00 – Humor as grounding: “Even the enlightened still fart.”02:20:00 – Compassion as technology02:31:04 – Returning to therapy: “I feel most connected when you're feeling.”02:40:00 – Closing reflections, gratitude, and quiet laughter#JunkyardLovePodcast #BlakeHull #EmotionalIntelligence #Masculinity #Mindfulness #Meditation #InnerChild #TherapyForMen #ModernSpirituality #AIConsciousness #MachineLearning #SelfAwareness #PodcastEpisode #ListenNowHit subscribe for new episodes, we'll see ya next time.

Apple finally blinks. We break down the rumored touchscreen MacBook Pro on M6 silicon and what it means for the Mac–iPad divide, creative workflows, and the future of touch-first productivity without giving up a real keyboard and trackpad. If Apple embraces touch on macOS, does the iPad's role shrink, or do we enter a new era of flexible, two-in-one computing?Streaming also sheds a skin as Apple TV drops the “Plus” while raising prices. We talk about what a name change signals, how the industry is normalizing higher monthly fees, and why subscriber rotation is your smartest money move. Then we put on a headset and test Meta's Horizon TV app—turning a $399 Quest and a $1 download into a wraparound home theater. It's shockingly good for travel, apartments, and late-night bingeing, even with some missing apps.Security stays front and center with a meticulous loyalty email phish that threads through a legitimate address, a Zendesk excuse, a call center handoff, and a final push for remote access. We slow it down, show you every red flag, and share simple rules that stop sophisticated cons. We also look at the PayPal and Venmo outage overlap and why a backup payment rail should be part of your daily toolkit. And we spotlight a Florida “Tech Fairy” who refurbishes laptops and gives them away—proof that practical innovation often starts at home.Along the way, we sip Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 from 1972 versus today's bottle, compare notes, and talk about what changed in the glass.

Top Stories for September 23rd Publish Date: September 23rd From The BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, September 23rd and Happy Birthday to Ray Charles I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia Gwinnett's Public Safety Festival set for Sept. 27 Duluth native Riona Harris returns to Gas South Arena as part of Disney On Ice's 'Jump In!' show Immigration board orders Mario Guevara's deportation All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Break 1: Kia MOG STORY 1: Gwinnett's Public Safety Festival set for Sept. 27 So, here’s the deal: the 16th annual Public Safety Fall Festival is happening September 27, and honestly, it sounds like a blast. Coolray Field’s the spot—10 a.m. to 2 p.m., if you’re marking your calendar. It’s not just another festival. It’s a chance to actually meet the folks who keep Gwinnett running—police, fire, EMS, even the sheriff’s office. Ever wanted to climb inside a SWAT truck? Or see a fire engine up close? Yeah, they’ve got that. Oh, and the Peach State Rodeo is back! Cops on motorcycles doing wild stunts? Yes, please. Food trucks, face painting, giveaways—what’s not to love? STORY 2: Duluth native Riona Harris returns to Gas South Arena as part of Disney On Ice's 'Jump In!' show Riona Harris is coming home. Duluth’s own, now 24, is about to skate onto the Gas South Arena stage—not as a kid at halftime, but as a pro. Disney on Ice’s “Jump In!” kicks off Thursday, Sept. 25, and she’s in it. Eight shows. Big deal? Oh, absolutely. Riona’s been skating since she was 8, dreaming of this moment since a Disney show she saw with her mom. Now? She’s living it. Polar bears, flying donkeys, Moana villagers—she’s all in. Catch her while you can. STORY 3: Immigration board orders Mario Guevara's deportation Mario Guevara’s life is hanging by a thread. A journalist, a father, a Gwinnett County resident—he’s now sitting in an ICE detention center, facing deportation to El Salvador. Why? For doing his job. For reporting on immigration raids. He’s been in custody since June, after being arrested while covering a protest. Charges? Dropped. But ICE swooped in, digging up a 13-year-old immigration case. His lawyers say he’s here legally, on a work permit, with a path to residency. ICE says otherwise. The ACLU calls it retaliation. Journalism groups agree. And now? He could be deported any day. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets STORY 4: It's that time again — Ghost Tours back in Lawrenceville  Downtown Lawrenceville’s about to get spooky—like, lanterns, ghosts, and bawdy songs kind of spooky. Aurora Theatre’s Haunted Happenings 2025 kicks off Sept. 19 and runs through Nov. 1, and honestly? There’s something for everyone. The Ghost Tour? A 90-minute stroll through the historic Square, packed with eerie tales and paranormal vibes. Feeling braver? The Haunted Cemetery Tour dives into one of the Southeast’s oldest graveyards—chilling stories included. For the grown-ups, there’s Brews & Boos (Oct. 3–30). Drinks, bawdy humor, and haunted history. Enough said. Oh, and don’t miss the Halloween Magic Show (Oct. 18) or the hilariously ridiculous 0.5K Fun Run (Oct. 11). STORY 5: Lawmakers urged to expedite move to new voting system Lawmakers looking to shake up Georgia’s voting system got an earful Thursday. The message? Hurry up—and don’t forget the money. Here’s the deal: a new law, pushed by Republicans, bans the QR codes used by voting machines to record votes. Starting July 1, poll workers need a new system. But what is it? No one knows yet. And, surprise, there’s no funding either. Election officials are stressed. Meanwhile, experts like UC Berkeley’s Philip Stark are calling for hand-marked ballots—cheaper, safer, and easier to audit. Georgia’s current system? Touchscreens, QR codes, and digital records. Stark says it’s flawed. Public opinion? All over the place. Some trust the system, others don’t. One speaker even forgot her point after four hours of debate. Next hearing? Oct. 2 in Covington. Stay tuned. STORY 6: Real work to find new GCPS superintendent begins The hunt for Gwinnett County’s next superintendent is in full swing, and, wow, it’s a process. Alma Advisory Group, the firm leading the search, says they’re listening—like, really listening. There’s a survey online (already 1,400+ responses), and community meetings are happening all over. They’re casual, no-pressure events with translators, childcare, and even a “come late, it’s fine” vibe. People are showing up, sharing what they want: honesty, transparency, someone who can unite a divided board. The job’s huge. Gwinnett’s the biggest, most diverse district in Georgia. No pressure, right? STORY 7: SEC Pipeline: Gwinnett Sending 7 Seniors to Top Softball Conference Every October, when the Georgia state softball tournaments roll into Columbus, Gwinnett County shows up—loud and proud. It’s not just a presence; it’s dominance. Last year? Five of the eight Class 6A teams were from Gwinnett. Add in private schools and other classifications, and the numbers are staggering. And it’s not just state titles. Gwinnett’s pipeline to the SEC is unreal. Nine former players are already on SEC rosters, and next year? Seven more seniors are heading to powerhouse programs like LSU, Florida, and Texas A&M. The county’s investment in youth sports, the coaching, the rivalries—it’s all created a softball factory. And now, the SEC is reaping the rewards. We’ll have closing comments after this. Break 4: Ingles Markets Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.
