  <description>&lt;strong&gt;This week’s episode brought to you by  &lt;a href="http://www.sliceonbroadway.com/"&gt;Slice on Broadway&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="https://www.sidekickmediaservices.com/"&gt;Sidekick Media Services&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;
Krause is back in studio to join Chilla and Sorg as we dive into the week in tech news, including:
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Krause is shaking it up in 2020 - - - - ON iOS! (For those at home, he's #TeamAndroid.)&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Chilla's Awesome Thing of the Week is a modified &lt;a href="https://www.techspot.com/news/83631-dad-modifies-xbox-adaptive-controller-daughter-play-zelda.html"&gt;Xbox adaptive controller&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Sorg's Awesome Thing of the Week is a &lt;a href="https://amzn.to/2TMJpmS"&gt;foldable controller mobile phone holder&lt;/a&gt; that has changed his iPhone gaming.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Sorg's (mini) Awesome Thing of the Week is a &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcIgyCXMpR0"&gt;Sylvania wifi light&lt;/a&gt; bulb.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.tmz.com/2020/01/16/pornhub-sued-class-action-deaf-demand-closed-captioning/?fbclid=IwAR0DAwolXOQVg_vTWwhRhyyz8dnnGJ5Xm8r8U4oknEg4JKwPvDEzrX1V4fo"&gt;Pornhub was sued&lt;/a&gt; for making it difficult for the deaf to enjoy their products.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Japan has released a range of &lt;a href="https://mymodernmet.com/okawa-kagu-cat-furniture/?fbclid=IwAR28F4UjVhY1LEFiLWkwNqGFnMgI1uoufOzZNqimgJgaWVqIh0BXfmrZp9g"&gt;miniature furniture for cats&lt;/a&gt;, and My Modern Met has the BEST pictures.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Ford creates more than cars - like a &lt;a href="https://trending.diply.com/28575/ford-noise-cancelling-kennel-protect-dogs-fireworks-new-years-eve?utm_source=facebook&amp;amp;utm_medium=auntyacid&amp;amp;utm_content=aa001839&amp;amp;fbclid=IwAR0NLNHktEk6thqV8a77vxdONK3DkfnIfcchB-yvhirXAUxRdvDgzSgfTHI"&gt;noise-cancelling dog kennel&lt;/a&gt; to protect your pup from fireworks noises.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://9to5mac.com/2020/01/21/make-siri-smarter/"&gt;Wyze loses its AI to Apple&lt;/a&gt;, and we're talking about how it's affecting things.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Krause wants to know why people keep putting &lt;a href="https://www.androidcentral.com/sextortion-rise-targeting-ring-and-nest-camera-users"&gt;cameras in sensitive places&lt;/a&gt; (like the bedroom) where people can hack them.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Ben &amp;amp; Jerry's has a &lt;a href="https://www.engadget.com/2020/01/17/netflix-and-chill-ben-jerrys-ice-cream/?fbclid=IwAR3y5iXUHi0HBJ4IOzuUX6rCfUWwjAny0nzaaKtUV0q1YLdoEB8N4v-xejU"&gt;Netflix and Chill'd&lt;/a&gt; flavor?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

  <description>John Carman joins us in studio as we head into the Thanksgiving holiday.  Together with our usual tech hounds – Sorg, Chilla, and Katie, the gang shares some of this week’s tech news, including:
Chilla is kicking things off with his Awesome Thing of the Week with Tesla chargers.
Another creature has been released from The Last Jedi. Katie is telling us about Vulptex as her Awesome Thing of the Week.
John Carman is talking about his options for Black Friday sales as his Awesome Thing of the Week.
Sorg’s Awesome Thing of the Week is a video map of atmospheric changes and hurricanes.
We’re sharing what we’re thankful for as we head into Thanksgiving.
Sorg and friends are getting into a deep dive about iPhone and Android options now that phones are holding up better – negating the “need” to upgrade.
Looking to get an iPhone X? You can actually check Walmart’s offerings as an option.
A hologram player that lets you interact with 3D holograms? Yes, please.
Want a smart light switch with Echo capabilities? There’s a solution for that.
Katie is all about the dino nuggets and Animal Crossing! She’s sharing some news about that second one now.
Tesla has a semi truck.
KFC has an escape pod (faraday cage)?
Our John Carman is not the guy that made the news for being a misogynistic New Jersey politician.
Ello is back! And, it’s now for creatives.
Windows 10 is offering a Star Trek like journal.
Do yourselves a favor – if you’re not already following him, follow John Carman on Twitter (@carmanavenue).
After the show remember to:
Shop small with our neighbors here in Beechview this weekend. For more info visit: https://www.facebook.com/events/1535469116534745/
Eat at Slice on Broadway (@Pgh_Slice) if you are in the Pittsburgh area! It is Awesome! (sliceonbroadway.com)
