I’m joined by frequent panelist Paul Lawler. We recorded this podcast in person during lunch on Aug. 4 at a restaurant to test my Airhug 30 wireless lavalier microphone set. The mic’s built-in noise reduction feature was not good enough for this environment. So, the audio was post-processed using Adobe Podcast Enhance set at 35% strength. I also had to increase the volume after Adobe’s post-processing using the Open Source Audacity software. In this podcast, Paul and I unintentionally experienced a mild “hot ones” type spicy food situation and discussed this during the podcast. We also discussed:

• Non-standard power adapters
• Microsoft ActiveSync (Windows Mobile)
• Our informal “Hot Ones” experience
• Electronic bike lock
• Eufy security cameras
• Power outages – batteries and solar power
• Audio Hijack vs. Adobe Podcast Studio vs. Google Meet
• Adobe Podcast Enhance
• The “AI Divide”
• Logitech throws the idea of “subscription mice” out for discussion
• Software/Service subscriptions
