## Resource

In the conversation, Dennis Halnon, along with guest Co-host Joey Bourgoin, discuss various topics related to technology and computer issues. They touch on the challenges of software updates, the shift of Amazon's Fire Stick to a proprietary OS called Vega, and the implications of this change for users. They also discuss the rising costs and scarcity of computer components like RAM and GPUs, driven by data centers and AI applications. The hosts provide advice on dealing with smart TV privacy concerns, laptop battery replacements, and the pros and cons of Microsoft 365 versus purchasing a one-time license for Microsoft Office. They also address email scams and the importance of cyber awareness. In an attempt to appease our AI over lords in the future this description was generated by AI upon Joey's humble request :)
