	<description><![CDATA[Ready, Set, Stop &#124; Battle Born Tech · October 13, 2026
This week on Battle Born Tech: Steve has a 15-year-old laptop still works. Steve wasn’t going to throw it away. The question was which Linux would still talk to it, and why one installer built him a house while the other only moved the furniture. 
Teresa's sound bar lit up. It just wouldn’t make a sound. The problem wasn’t the sound bar. 
Every program on Josh’s computer remembers “don’t print on both sides.” Except the one that prints his checks. The fix was not where he’d been looking.
News: Windows 10 gets another year, data centers become war targets, and French supermarkets learn what happens when the freezer takes orders from the internet.

This week on Battle Born Tech, Rebecca just wanted the hymn words on the screen to match the hymnal. Then she learned there's a license for the words, another for Zoom, and another for movie clips. Jay, a retired engineer, tells how his company left Microsoft for Linux and watched its trouble calls fall. And Christy and Joe sort out drivers: when to leave them alone, where to get them when you can't, and why there are two programs named Snappy.

	<description><![CDATA[It's All Plugged In Why Won't It Work?&#124; Battle Born Tech · September 29, 2026

Stephen's office got a new modem, and suddenly his laptop couldn't reach the printer down the hall. Rachel had a class coming back from recess and a projector showing nothing but blue. Jay's church laptop kept listing his thumb drive twice. Christy and Joe follow the wire one box at a time, and find the equipment was fine all along. The settings just needed a nudge.

Along the way we cover:
when a router is worth replacing, and why a 12-year-old modem earns a plaque
why a cable beats Wi-Fi for video calls
the Windows key + P shortcut every teacher should know
where Windows sends your sound
why File Explorer lists a removable drive twice on purpose
corrections from last week
a new phone app that alerts you when camera glasses are nearby

Lee asks the question Wall Street can't stop asking, and Nevadans have a way to speak up. Brian brings a laptop that went swimming, and a famous kitchen remedy gets put to the test. Kathryn's email keeps asking whether she's a robot, and the reason is hiding in plain sight. Plus, Publisher users: the clock is running.

	<description><![CDATA[We Are All Bouncers Now &#124; Battle Born Tech · September 15, 2026
Email that should be rejected, Encryption that shouldn't be, and a photo show that needs to survive the meeting. This week on Battle Born Tech, A pastor opens an email from his own music director asking for another copy of the church mailing list. The name is right. The address underneath it is not. What stopped it was a staff member who happened to be standing there and asked four words.

Craig calls in from southern Nevada with a spear phishing attempt aimed at his entire staff, and we get into how the attacker built it, why the polite reflex to be helpful is the whole attack, and what to do when someone insists they cannot talk right now. Stevan bought a brand new computer for work and it will not turn BitLocker on, which is the opposite of the call we usually get. And Pat has to make her bosses' photos run in a loop at tomorrow's meeting, using photos that do not exist yet. We look at obvious tools in Windows but pick the unlikely but simple one that will last curious browsers and stray users.

This week on Battle Born Tech,Steve's Windows 10 machine boots fine and logs in fine, right up to the moment he plays a recorded show through Dish Anywhere. Then the blue screen takes over and the whole thing starts again. He has already run the repair commands he found online. Christy walks him through what a blue screen is actually pointing at, why the timing is the best clue he has, and why the fix is probably a graphics driver rather than a dying computer.

George has handled a couple thousand of the new stick of gum sized drives and has never managed to kill one. He settles the decades old magnet question, explains what does destroy a drive, and Christy follows with the cheapest protection there is, which is probably in your recycling right now.

And Betty is finished with Google Maps. Christy covers what happened to the ad free MapQuest option, who owns MapQuest these days, and how Organic Maps and OpenStreetMap will get you past Fallon with no signal at all, as long as you remember the one step everybody forgets.

Plus the smart TV settings worth turning off tonight, an overdue reminder to freeze your credit, and paper maps get their moment.

	<description><![CDATA[It's My Party But No One's Talking! &#124; Battle Born Tech · September 1, 2026
This week on Battle Born Tech, Joan did everything right and still got yelled at. A scammer forged a malware party invitation and sent it to her whole church group, and her friends blamed her. Christy explains why changing her password will not stop impersonation, how blind carbon copy keeps her list out of a scammer's hands, and when a free mass-mailing account is worth the trouble.

Then Dave calls in about the burner phone he carried to his son's wedding in Vietnam. It kept his data safe at every border, and it worked so well that his own family would not answer texts from the unfamiliar number. Lessons learned on eSIMs, airport SIM desks, and going a little bit too incognito.

Call Battle Born Tech at 775-241-3571, Saturdays nine to eleven AM or Sundays seven to nine PM Pacific. New shows Tuesdays at eight PM Pacific on KNVC 95.1, streaming at KNVC.org.

	<description><![CDATA[No More Dots and Dashes &#124; Battle Born Tech · August 25, 2026
This week on Battle Born Tech, A ham radio license without the Morse code, a browser that eats YouTube ads, and the quiet question of who's mapping your Wi-Fi.

Three callers, three itches worth scratching. Tom has spent years wrestling YouTube's ads into submission, one blocked button at a time. We hand him a cleaner tool and one honest catch he won't love hearing. 
Then Kirk drops by, not with a problem, but with an invitation. Ever thought about getting on the air as a ham radio operator and talked yourself out of it? There's one thing you used to need that's gone now, and it changes the whole picture. What it costs and how to start might surprise you. And Ron wants to know who's been quietly pinning his home router to a map, and whether he can make them stop. The answer is yes. Sort of. On a voluntary, please-and-thank-you basis. We walk the line between a real privacy fix and a principled stand.

Along the way: a customer-service bot that refuses to break character, a fake online store where you can blow ten grand and buy nothing, a food-delivery site where the food never comes (on purpose), and the old geeky hobby that quietly turned into the reason your phone knows where you are indoors.

And Ron wants to know who's been quietly pinning his home router to a map, and whether he can make them stop. The answer is yes. Sort of. On a voluntary, please-and-thank-you basis. We walk the line between a real privacy fix and a principled stand.

	<description><![CDATA[Everything's Running and Nothing Works &#124; Battle Born Tech · August 18, 2026
Three callers this week, and every one of them owns a machine that's running fine and still not doing its job.

John's church stream has the sound arriving ahead of the picture, so the lips never match the words. We explain why video takes longer to process than audio, and how to line them back up, either with a delay setting or a simple hand-clap test in front of the camera.

Linda's inkjet keeps clogging. We cover the once-a-week test print that keeps the ink moving, why you should shut the printer off with its own power button instead of yanking the power strip, and which brands make refilling less of a fight.

Then Joan asks about the scams aimed at older folks. We lay out the rules that actually stop them. Never move money because someone put you under pressure. Hang up if a caller wants into your computer. Don't trust the number on your screen. And keep a trusted person you can call before you act. Fraud reporting numbers are in the show notes.

Call in Saturday mornings, nine to eleven or Sunday evening seven to nine Pacific, at 775-241-3571. Or anytime to set up a call. Listen Tuesdays at 8 p.m. Pacific on KNVC 95.1, streaming at KNVC.org, with the podcast posting within 24 hours. Show notes and corrections: battleborn.tech.

	<description><![CDATA[Not Something I Asked For &#124; Battle Born Tech · August 11, 2026
This week on Battle Born Tech, three callers get hit with tech nobody invited. Brian's eBay‑bought M.2 SSD showed up locked tight, and it's not the usual BitLocker suspect: it's a self‑encrypting drive standard called SED, the kind of lock that punishes the wrong move. Rosie can't figure out why her iPhone is answering calls with a transcribing robot voice before she even picks up; turns out it's Apple's own Live Voicemail feature, not a hack, and we remind Android users about Google's version, Call Screen. And Robert's library card isn't the audiobook shortcut he hoped for: a thin catalog means weeks‑long waits, so we walk him through library card reciprocity to widen his shelf.

Plus: why printing a PDF isn't the same as exporting one, and when you actually want the flattened, unsearchable version; a callback to hidden‑text prompt injection; and why Adobe pushing security updates twice a month isn't a coincidence, it's AI working both sides of the fight now.

Battle Born Tech airs Tuesdays at 8 PM Pacific on FM 95.1 · Stream live at KNVC.org · battleborn.tech · bbtl.ink/stats · Call the studio Saturdays 9–11 AM Pacific: 775-241-3571]]></description>
