MOAR Tech

MOAR Tech covers consumer technology from the level where product news becomes personal. Michael Amorgan talks about devices, apps, platforms, privacy settings, and the practical consequences of tech decisions. The show often begins with a cluster of industry updates before settling on a main topic. That shape gives it room to connect Sony and Discord, Google account security, Apple hardware, app data disclosures, and social platform behavior without treating them as separate worlds. Privacy comes up again and again. Smart speakers, HomePods, Siri recordings, Alexa settings, WhatsApp exploits, app tracking, ad personalization, and data collection are treated as everyday concerns rather than abstract policy debates. The show is also interested in control. Episodes look at how people can delete recordings, check privacy options, understand what data an app wants, or choose whether a device feature is worth the tradeoff. Device talk stays practical. Apple AirTags, iPad Pro 5G compatibility, dark mode, Android features, Note 9 references, and smart-home routines are framed around what a user can actually do with them. There is a local technology thread too. The Nassau Technology Conference episode weighs the gap between business-facing presentations and the kind of technical detail some attendees may expect around mobile networks, data centers, systems, pipework, firewalls, and developer work. MOAR Tech also steps outside ordinary product chatter. Its burnout episode treats remote work, smartphone alerts, flexibility, stress, breaks, and asking for help as part of the technology conversation. Emergency features get similar attention, with discussion of SOS apps, preselected contacts, location alerts, lost-phone tools, and Pixel phone emergency options. The result is a show with a loose, spoken feel and a clear interest in how technology behaves after the announcement is over. It is candid and sometimes meandering. That looseness is part of its identity. MOAR Tech is strongest when a news item becomes a practical question: what setting should change, what device should wait, what data is being handed over, and what happens when tech follows a person home.
