A New Spin on Compressed Air

When we clean out our computer or other electronics, we may turn to a can of compressed air. But did you know, what comes out of the can isn't air at all? It's a mix of flammable gases. If used incorrectly, it can even spray moisture onto your precious device. John W. Scherer set out to provide a better option, leading to the creation of Canless Air. His Canless Air System is simply air. It's toxin free, safe and -- get this -- a fraction of the price! One single Canless Air System can potentially replace over 5,000 cans of traditional canned air. It's sustainable pressurised air that takes up no more space on your shelf than a standard can of compressed air. We'll learn about the product, take it for a test drive, and speak with John about his innovative Canless Air.

Sharing Your Internet? A VLAN Could Help Protect You

Sasha has an interesting situation where her Internet connection is provided by her landlord and shared with another apartment. The neighbor therefore has access to her Spotify account, all her devices, her files, her printer, and more. In this brief discussion Robbie talks about how a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) can be added to her apartment to separate her systems onto their own network that cannot be seen by the neighbor.
