| 9/13/24 | Can you de-Google, de-Apple, or de-Microsoft yourself or your business? | There has been a lot of talk on tech Youtube about De-”Google” or “De-Microsoft” yourself and your company.

We wanted to give both sides of the argument since it seemed very one-sided from our point of view. Send us Fan Mail Support the show This... | 1h 03m 45s | ||||||
