Podcasts about your wi fi

Your Wi‑Fi might be your biggest blind spot, and we're putting it under a bright light. We dig into the push to ban TP‑Link in the U.S., what “firmware callbacks” really mean, and the simple, concrete steps that actually harden a home network: changing default credentials, updating firmware at least yearly, enabling WPA3, and leaning on MFA to shut down credential theft. No scare tactics—just the playbook that keeps real people safer.From there we pull the thread on attention economics in the oddest place: public restrooms. In parts of China, you now scan a QR code and watch an ad to get a ration of toilet paper or pay a few cents to skip it. Officials call it anti‑waste; users call it sponsored dignity. We unpack why this matters beyond bathrooms, and how “rewarded attention” business models creep into public infrastructure when no one's looking.We also put a $20,000 humanoid robot under the microscope. Neo can open doors and flip switches, but it relies on remote human operators for the hard stuff—folding laundry, loading dishes, organizing shelves. That's not autonomy; that's telepresence with great PR. We talk costs, privacy, and whether you're paying to be a beta tester while the AI learns on your dime. If you want actual help today, a local cleaner still wins on speed, cost, and accountability.Scam fighters, this one's for you: a convincing QuickBooks “relationship manager” email that funnels to a Calendly form harvesting bank details, and a fake invoice attachment that mimics a Microsoft 365 login to steal your password before opening your inbox so you don't suspect a thing. We show you the red flags and the countermeasures—verify domains, never type creds from an email, use a password manager, and lock in MFA.We round out with a quick look at Apple's iOS keyboard bug and AirPods static, a throwback to the Morris Worm's chaotic lesson on unintended consequences, and a preview of police cruisers that launch drones for aerial patrols. Plus, our whiskey semifinal, banter, and a secret sound challenge to test your ear.If this mix of practical security, tech trends, and a little humor hits the spot, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review. Your support helps more curious listeners find us—and keeps us fueled for next week's deep dive.Support the show

In today’s episode I had the pleasure of talking with Lloyd Burrell of ElectricSense.com.   You can’t see it or taste it, and you may or may not feel it, but you’re surrounded by electronic pollution. It’s coming from many of life’s conveniences that have come an everyday part of our lives. While mobile phones play a big part, they’re not the only offenders flooding you around the clock with EMFs.    Your Wi-Fi router, your computer, your smart meter, your appliances and even the wiring inside your walls are impacting you with invisible frequencies that are doing biologic harm to your body and mind. In today’s show we take a deep dive into what are EMFs and how we can mitigate them in our day to day lives.   Lloyd’s website electricsense.com EMF Practical Guide Book Defender Shield EMF Radiation-Free Air Tube Stereo Earbud Headphones   Thank you so much for listening and checking out this episode of Your Ideal Day.    You can also check us out on Instagram @youridealday

Growing up in Austria-Hungary, Hedy Lamarr had two great passions: acting and inventing. She’s best known for her work in Hollywood, stunning American audiences with her beauty and compelling dramatic talents. But recently she’s earned recognition for her technological contributions as well. She and her friend, the composer George Antheil, received a patent for radio-frequency technology that is now valued at over 300 Billion dollars. Because of Hedy, your family can safely send secure text messages and access WIFI. Our narrator this episode, actress Tatiana Maslany, has also found success on screen. She received an Emmy and was nominated for a Golden Globe after her incredible performance in the “Orphan Black” television series. This summer, she’ll star in HBO’s limited series, “Perry Mason.”This podcast is an expansion of Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls by Elena Favilli and Francesca Cavallo.
