    Battle Born Tech — "Losing Face" Broadcast April 7, 2026 | KNVC FM 95.1 Tax season brings out the scammers, and Christy and Joe are on it — starting with a firm reminder: "The IRS does NOT take gift cards for payments." If someone's telling you otherwise, hang up. Lee calls in with a facial recognition puzzle — his face won't unlock his iPhone. Christy's sympathy has limits: "You don't see the cracks over the radio." Turns out the Apple Genius Bar exam is harder than it looks, and "the cutting of the fingers is not good." Steve wants to know where all the old Battle Born Tech episodes went — good news, they're not gone forever. Christy and Joe dig into how archived shows work and where to find them. Keith is running out of hard drive space right at tax crunch time and needs relief fast. Teresa, meanwhile, has spotted something wrong on the internet — and Christy and Joe tackle the uncomfortable truth: "What the web gives...the web can take away." Plus — how do you update the internet? Joe weighs in with context and follow-up, and nobody leaves without a reminder: "Don't forget the treat!" for the tech!

    Your Windows Roots Are Showing
    Apr 1 2026
    Battle Born Tech "Your Windows Roots Are Showing" Broadcast March 31, 2026 | KNVC FM 95.1 Christy and the crew tackle three real-world tech puzzles. Lee's barcode scanner gun has an identity crisis — it doesn't know it's a keyboard. Donna can't figure out why her WordPress homepage keeps changing on her. And Lee discovers the hard way that downloading a Linux .tar.gz file is usually the long way around — when sudo apt install or your desktop package manager will do the job in seconds. Call in Saturdays 9–11am Pacific at 775-241-3571, or call anytime to schedule your own tech battle. "Your Windows roots are showing — we can help you get those touched up."
