In this episode of TechWatch Radio, Sam Bushman and Jay Harrison discuss the dangers of public Wi-Fi and explain why connecting at your local coffee shop might be like using a public restroom with no stalls. They dive into how Wi-Fi “pineapples” can silently spoof trusted networks and why your phone’s memory of old connections could be a serious security risk. Jay offers proactive cybersecurity tips, including how to audit your device's saved networks and the benefits of using your phone as a personal hotspot.
Then, they tackle Microsoft's latest shake-ups, starting with the abrupt gutting of Microsoft Authenticator’s password management features. Sam and Jay critique the tech giant’s handling of core authentication tools and question the wisdom of removing mission-critical functionality with little warning. They also cover the quiet cancellation of Microsoft Store versions of Office apps and discuss what it means for users stuck in the confusing maze of Microsoft’s “click-to-run” versus store-installed apps. To close on a brighter note, they highlight Microsoft's unexpected offer: free Extended Security Updates for Windows 10 — perhaps a sign the Windows 11 push isn’t going as planned. Tune in for real-world tech insight that cuts through the clutter!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
