Send us Fan Mail

Your phone picks the worst possible moment to fail: right when you’re in a crowd trying to upload a photo, pay a vendor, or find your friends. We’re live from Spring Fiesta at Lake Eola to explain what’s really happening to your cell service and Wi-Fi at big events, why “full bars” can still mean no usable internet, and how 5G’s more localized coverage changes the experience as you move through a packed venue.

Then we go way beyond the park and into space. NASA’s Artemis mission ran into a Microsoft Outlook problem that sounds almost too normal for a moon-bound crew, plus a “lunar loo” malfunction caused by a jammed fan. We break down what triggered the Outlook glitch, how mission control fixed it with practical troubleshooting, and why these stories are a great reminder that configuration issues and electronics failures happen everywhere, even on the most advanced systems on Earth.

We also get serious about everyday security. QR code payments, digital menus, and contactless checkout are convenient, but QR code scams are exploding, especially sticker-over fraud on parking meters and unattended signs. We share quick habits that reduce your risk fast: preview the URL before you tap, look for sticker outlines, avoid unexpected links in texts, enable credit card alerts, and choose tap-to-pay instead of inserting your card where skimmers can hide. Plus, breaking news for small businesses and schools: Microsoft Publisher support ends after October 1, and we explain how to find .PUB files and convert them before it becomes a scramble.

If this helped, subscribe, share the show with a friend who’s always scanning QR codes, and leave a review so more people can find these tech tips and security updates.
