Tech News and Commentary Dave and the team discuss Twitter and Apple, an alternative to GPS, a tech billionaire being found, TikTok's security risks, the Orion spacecraft's trip, Intel's billion dollar fine, and more. Our guest this show: Kelli Jordan, Director of Career, Skills, and Performance at IBM Joe in Longview, Texas asked: "Is there a way to record a Facebook Messenger video and audio on an Apple computer or an iPad? I can record the video but the audio doesn't want to work. We're wanting to do an interview with our missionary over in the Philippines, so it would have to be something that he could use on his Android phone to be able to talk to me." Joe, you will need a program that takes your audio from an input and redirects it to your recording software. There are many, many of those, some of them have been around for a very long time as well. For example, Rogue Amoebas Audio Hijack is probably closing in on at least 15 years old by now, it may even be older than that. The problem youll face there is that those programs are typically not free. For example, Audio Hijacks license is $67. If this is a one-off remote interview, an easier path for you may be to just set up a Zoom account. It will be available both on your Mac and on his Android phone, and youll be able to do a screen recording by just clicking on the Record button and download an audio file of the interview after youre done. If youre expecting to go over 45 minutes you will either have to restart the call and splice the audio files together, or pay $15 for one month of premium access. In either case, youll pay less than you would for a license for audio capture software. Rick in St. Cloud, Minnesota asked: "Can you please suggest a good radio for counter top listening. I'm looking for something simple to use, small in size, and with excellent reception. When I search on-line, all I find is alarm clock radios or boom boxes. I just want a simple AM/FM radio with excellent reception and good sound that doesn't take up much space. Thank you." Rick, youre going to find that most of the countertop radios available today are marketed towards an older audience and they will mostly look about the same as a radio you might have bought 30 years ago. Sangean makes lots of them, most of them with physical dials rather than digital tuning. If you want a digital version, you can look at a Sangean PR-D19BK, for a more traditional look you can look at a Sangean WR-16. Theyre all roughly the same when it comes to reception, they just come with a long FM antenna and a detachable square AM antenna. C Crane still sells plenty of AM/FM radios, but mostly solar ones with emergency weather channels. Radio is very much on the decline, if you ask anyone under 60 if they own a radio, the answer will almost certainly be no. And many opt for podcasts, services like Spotify and Apple Music, and live streaming via smart speakers and other devices. The market for traditional physical radios is shrinking every day, so your options wont be as extensive as they would have been a few years ago, but theyre probably the best theyll ever be again. Sterling in North Pole, Alaska asked: "I have hearing aids and I have an iPhone. The hearing aids are Bluetooth with the iPhone. I'm interested in getting an Apple Watch.
