Join us on TechTime Radio with Nathan Mumm, the show that makes you go “Hummmm” Technology news of the week for September 18th – September 24th, 2022.

Today on TechTime with Nathan Mumm, Apple to fix annoying copy and paste bug and camera issues on third-party apps, Google loses appeal over record EU anti-trust, and no joke, the US Space Force has a theme song. We revisit the major hotel chain breach from Holiday In that uses Qwerty1234 as its primary security password. What if you found $250,000 in your account deposited from a large software company? We cover this week’s Cyber Attacks in the “Protect Yourself Today segment. In addition, we have our standard features, including “Mike’s Mesmerizing Moment,” “This Week in Technology,” and a possible “Nathan Nugget,” and, of course, our “Pick of the Day” whiskey tasting. So, sit back, raise a glass, and welcome to TechTime with Nathan Mumm.
