Planes, Plugs & Photo Restoration Rabbit Holes On TechtalkRadio|Episode 479

This week on TechtalkRadio, Justin, Shawn and Andy discuss travel tech, international gadgets, and the challenges of staying connected while traveling abroad. Justin prepares for his upcoming trip to Japan with discussions about voltage converters, travel adapters, airline Wi-Fi, Steam Deck gaming on long flights, and useful ground aviation tools like FlightAware and ADS-B Exchange, great for Plane Spotters! The team also talks about the growing use of Starlink on commercial flights and the tech travelers should pack before heading overseas.

Andy shares a fascinating personal story after falling down a genealogy rabbit hole and reconnecting with long-lost relatives through online archives and historical photographs from Burma and India. Andy shares a Facebook Page from Philip Thornton which highlights the history of these regions and allowed him to connect with a distant relative. The conversation leads into a lively discussion about AI-powered photo restoration tools and whether modern technology is helping preserve family history or changing it too much in the process.

The show also covers streaming fatigue, cutting the cord from cable, FAST TV services - Free Ad Supported Television, Walmart tech bargains which were too good to pass up, and even a surprisingly addictive mobile game called Bubble Pop Origin due to a recent news story. Add in movie trivia which took the guys awhile to answer, the “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon,” and a major cyberattack impacting schools using the Canvas learning platform, and it all comes together for another fun and tech-filled episode of TechtalkRadio.
