Hammer Time: When You Can't Touch This | Battle Born Tech · DATE, 2026
MC Hammer had a point, and this week on Battle Born Tech, so do our callers. We're back from medical leave and diving straight into three things nobody could touch: a phone screen that can't be cleaned without a fight, a website nobody can log into, and Wi-Fi that apparently hitched a ride in someone's car.
Dee discovers that the better the screen, the harder it is to clean, and that most things in your kitchen drawer should stay far, far away from it. Steve needs to rescue a company website where the keys walked out the door with a contractor, so we hand him the tools to save it before it disappears, including a command line trick and the Wayback Machine's lesser-known outlinks option. And Bryan just wants his Wi-Fi back after moving his computer, leading us down a rabbit hole of how wireless went from a plastic card you plugged in to a feature baked right into the chip itself.
Along the way: declaring website bankruptcy, borrowing a cup of internet, and the eternal wisdom that whatever you unplugged, you should probably plug back in.
We're live in the studio Saturdays 9 to 11 AM Pacific. Call us direct at 775-241-3571 or anytime to schedule your own tech battle. Dumb questions welcome, they're usually the best ones.
Battle Born Tech. We don't fold. Yet.
