We are BACK from our year-end hiatus with Chilla, Dudders, and Sorg to talk current tech news!
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Chilla is sharing a sweet &lt;a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CLJF3V7/?coliid=I3F3309QH0H59Q&amp;amp;colid=1ZWIAZJOF3UUG&amp;amp;psc=1&amp;amp;ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it"&gt;Xbox phone controller mount&lt;/a&gt; as his Awesome Thing of the Week.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Sorg is sharing some &lt;a href="https://www.engadget.com/2020/01/06/sony-vision-s/"&gt;CES 2020 updates&lt;/a&gt; as his Awesome Thing of the Week.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;There's an artist that transforms everyday objects into &lt;a href="https://www.boredpanda.com/spaceship-design-everyday-objects-digital-art-eric-geusz/?utm_source=facebook&amp;amp;utm_medium=social&amp;amp;utm_campaign=BPFacebook&amp;amp;fbclid=IwAR34zhKmniveKIg-QQLqRCdt1XmtRqGruT6fnFk5JsSndkzDU7L9dI-UAts"&gt;out-of-this-world art&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Did you know there's a &lt;a href="https://www.bestproducts.com/lifestyle/a23571222/skid-shot-toy-spitball-maker/?utm_medium=social-media&amp;amp;utm_source=facebook&amp;amp;utm_campaign=socialflowFBBP&amp;amp;fbclid=IwAR0pp_bJTHfSorwAKG0kKvhvAMw4GvUiYbuPcDwcO3Erfp3BHcuWh5-i7PY"&gt;"clean" spitball gun&lt;/a&gt; that makes 350 spitballs from a single roll of toilet paper?&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;PS5 is looking to solve some &lt;a href="https://comicbook.com/gaming/2020/01/02/ps5-playstation-backwards-compatible-ps4-ps3-ps2-ps1/?fbclid=IwAR1MREwwJhrAqJwBv1dtOcI16y53Ifu3F4Lha15ZRos0rL63NcGtc7anO60"&gt;backwards compatibility&lt;/a&gt; issues, and we're pretty excited about it!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.supermarketnews.com/health-wellness/giant-eagle-pharmacy-patients-can-now-ask-alexa"&gt;Giant Eagle pharmacy&lt;/a&gt; is stepping into the home automation game with an Alexa Skill that will help you get your refills and keep you on schedule for your prescriptions.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Chilla is sharing some information about how to &lt;a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RW9F336/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;psc=1"&gt;mount an older iMac&lt;/a&gt; with a non-removable arm.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Segway is coming out with a new project (which Sorg is referring to as the &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/3/21047217/segway-s-pod-personal-vehicle-self-balancing-wheelchair-ces-2020?fbclid=IwAR1gElPLborwW20dA_flNU-3w08-DyZcyAY4NHI8xY2ib-AV9seBPLH2kII"&gt;Wall-E chair&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Brian is sharing how he uses &lt;a href="https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/591054"&gt;Garmin Speak with Alexa&lt;/a&gt; as his Awesome Thing of the Week.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Did you know you could actually have a conversation with your smart device?&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Krause is sharing a &lt;a href="https://www.androidcentral.com/thrifter-deal-apc-smart-surge-protector-power-strip"&gt;smart surge protector power strip&lt;/a&gt; as his Awesome Thing of the Week.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Sorg's Awesome Thing of the Week is from his recent SAE trip. He's sharing how a team from Canada modified their plane for snowy conditions.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Sorg and Brian both shared &lt;a href="https://www.nextpittsburgh.com/city-design/welcome-to-bricksburgh-a-lego-pop-up-bar-is-coming-to-pittsburgh/?fbclid=IwAR1jfxDMoWxr11_sryaiRZSCHJYO7IJm_7c8umztCjN2kIIrwUaCOvveHxA"&gt;Bricksburgh - a LEGO pop-up bar&lt;/a&gt;, so of course we have to talk about it.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;We're learning about how SAE is using &lt;a href="https://www.cnet.com/how-to/things-to-know-about-facebook-portal/"&gt;Facebook Portal&lt;/a&gt; for remote access onsite help.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;A-Train is the AI in Facebook Portal.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;We're talking about how &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/6/18298146/netflix-confirms-it-yanked-airplay-support-wont-let-you-beam-shows-to-apple-tvs-anymore"&gt;Netflix has killed AirPlay support&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Getting older is getting easier because of technology.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Brian is sharing how he's using a vertical mouse, ergonomic keyboard, and a lumbar pillow from Amazon to counteract the results of his aging process.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Google podcast is making &lt;a href="https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/03/26/google-podcasts-in-episode-search-is-coming-shows-now-being-fully-transcribed/?fbclid=IwAR1iuTZ478NTZ6bhacFGuw-3gadTG-nOSgxxKF-gEMdU91_XVBRQvY9PtUo"&gt;in-episode searching&lt;/a&gt; easier by transcribing episodes.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Microsoft is going to &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/5/18296816/microsoft-xbox-game-pass-ultimate-subscription-pricing-release-date-rumors"&gt;combine Xbox game pass and live&lt;/a&gt; into a monthly subscription?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
After the show remember to:
Eat at Slice on Broadway (&lt;a href="http://twitter.com/Pgh_Slice"&gt;@Pgh_Slice&lt;/a&gt;) if you are in the Pittsburgh area! It is Awesome! (&lt;a href="http://sliceonbroadway.com/"&gt;sliceonbroadway.com&lt;/a&gt;)

    &lt;li&gt;We're comparing Apex Legends to Fortnite.&lt;/li&gt;

  <description>This week’s episode brought to you by Slice on Broadway, Alex Kahrs Design &amp;amp; Media, and Dark Forge Studios!
We’re back with Katie, Chilla, and Sorg as they talk about some tech.  This week’s topics include:
Sorg and Chilla are questioning Brian Crawford’s Sosoon bag recommendation (after they both got one).
Chilla’s Awesome Thing of the Week is a cable organizer from Amazon.
Chilla has some Krause tech envy.
Katie is sharing a fighting robot that you can buy on Amazon as her Awesome Thing of the Week.
Speaking of Amazon, Sorg went on a field trip as his Awesome Thing of the Week.
Uber has terminated jobs of self-driving car operators in Pittsburgh.
Electric scooters have arrived in Kansas City.
Will Pittsburgh see scooters as a healthy ride option in the future?
Find yourself frequently working out of your car? There’s a tray that works as a mobile desk or even a great eat-in-your car option.
Rugrats is coming back for a TV series and movie!
Microsoft has added some collaboration tools to the 365 world!
Looking for something to watch? Netflix is making recommendations based on emojis.
Wyze now works with Alexa on Amazon Echo.
There is a Walking Dead game with AR – no it’s not like Pokemon GO.
Magic Leap has a mixed reality headset in the works.
We have no “N” in Alphabet if Nest is gone?
Waze will provide traffic data free to US cities to aid in road congestion and pothole solutions.

Max Parker returns to the show this week to talk video games and E3 with us.  He’s joined in studio by Chilla and Sorg to talk about this week in tech news, including:
AC
Chilla is sharing an Amazon update as his Awesome Thing of the Week. Specifically, Alexa voice controls are now available on Apple iOS.

If Alexa is broken, Chilla doesn’t watch TV.
The Home Pod sits next to the Echo Dot.
Sorg keeps going back to previous Awesome Thing of the Week nods as his current item. This week he’s talking some Pokemon GO updates.
Of course Sorg was playing Pokemon GO while filming on location with a client shoot.
You can FINALLY make friends on Pokemon GO and trade Pokemon.
Pokemon did a remake of Pokemon Yellow for Pokemon Let’s Go. Max is sharing some thoughts about it AND the pokeball Joycon controller.
Max was on-site at E3 2018 and is sharing some of his insights.
Red Dead Redemption in 4K is apparently AMAZING.
Brian is pretty excited about his new backpack.
Movie Pass competitors are striking back! Thanks to Brandon and Sorg for letting us know about AMC and Alamo Drafthouse responses.
E3 opened back up to the public this year. Things were a little different this year than last year, though.
Thanks to Katie for sharing Fortnite shaved ice with us from the road.
Chilla is looking for dongle tricks.

Fitbit has an Adidas branded smartwatch.

  <description>We’ve got Brian Conway on the couch with Katie.  Sorg is at the helm, and Chilla is in Studio C.  It must be podcast day!  This week we’re talking about:
Chilla’s Awesome Thing of the Week is a vacuum he can control with his voice via Alexa. And, it’s a Shark.
We’re talking cats v. Roomba and cats on Roombas. Of course this is a tech talk show.
Sorg’s Awesome Thing of the Week is Pluto TV as an alternative to regular TV.
Pro Tip from our guest Ryan Haggerty: Turn down TV saturation on shows like Dare Devil for a film noir effect.
Ryan’s Awesome Thing of the Week is the Panasonic GH5s.
Thanks to Amanda Narcisi for sharing the Colgate smart toothbrush with Apple Research Kit integration.
There’s a town in New Jersey that isn’t happy with apps like Waze and Google Maps causing more traffic – to the point that they’re issuing fines to non-resident drivers.
Of course there’s a flying bathtub drone.
Open banking may be coming to the US.
Russian dash cam footage has been compiled into a documentary for The Road Movie.
Chalk it up under things we’ve learned on the show: Apparently there’s a need for speed warning on SD drives?
Sorg picked up a clearance dash cam this week. It’s an interesting conversation following the Russian story we just covered.
After the show remember to:
