After taking a four year break on his Oklahoma ranch, Blake Shelton is back on the road and riding the high of his new album, For Recreational Use Only . After 29 number one hits, and a detour into Hollywood, Blake’s scorching hot single “Texas” proves he’s still got it. Country Thunder CEO Troy Vollhoffer recalls meeting Blake Shelton during a crazy storm that really put the “thunder” in Country Thunder. After 23 seasons on The Voice , Blake opens up about spreading himself thin and making the choice to be “a TV guy or a touring guy.” The two reminisce about Toby Keith and why being a road dog is the best way to learn how to entertain a crowd. Blake reveals how his worst on-stage “ass-kicking” taught him how to be himself in front of a crowd. After taking so much time away from the spotlight, Blake shares that it was Post Malone who reminded him that he’s still a country singer at heart.…

IGEL Weekly: IGEL Secure Digital Signage 23:45

23:45

I recall a few years ago buying a new car, it was a Hyundai Coupe, I’d never seen one before and thought I’d get something different. As soon as I got the key and drove it, I saw them all over the place! Not so unique after all. This phenomenon is called ‘Intentional Blindness’ or ‘Perceptual Blindness’, when we don’t notice something in our field of view because we are busy focusing on something else. I think this is akin to the pervasiveness of Digital Signage, it is everywhere we simply don’t see it. Until it goes wrong… Host: Andy Whiteside Co-host: Chris Feeney…

IGEL Weekly: Entering the AI Era at the Endpoint with IGEL and Lenovo 23:13

28 weeks ago23:13

At IGEL DISRUPT 2024 in Munich this week, Lenovo presented its vision of how generative AI’s next advancement will involve personalizing end-user devices. This means that computers, phones, tablets, and other devices will soon be able to understand the context of our activities and adapt to how we prefer to work. Overall, the concept of adding AI at the endpoint is gaining a lot of traction. In 2023, Adobe reported that 77% of all devices use some form of AI. Lenovo sees the future of AI moving to a background-running service, first appearing locally in high-end and then consumer devices and eventually becoming ubiquitous across all environments, allowing incredibly high-power models to function at low-power demand. Lenovo, in partnership with IGEL, has already taken steps to implement these innovative features. Host: Andy Whiteside Co-host: Chris Feeney…

IGEL Weekly: Seamless Transition to Windows 11 with IGEL OS - Part 1 22:24

40 weeks ago22:24

Windows 10 goes end of life on the 14th of October 2025. By that date, Microsoft will stop providing free software updates from Windows update, no technical assistance will be offered and lastly, there will not be any more security fixes. Security fixes are a crucial part, and if you are on a system where a new vulnerability is exposed, and no more security fixes are going to be provided, you are in big trouble. Looking at last year’s increase of cyberattacks with ransomware, and how it affects companies, that is not an option! Host: Andy Whiteside Co-host: Bill Sutton Co-host: Chris Feeney…

IGEL helps companies to quickly recover, whenever productive work comes to a halt due to an IT outage. IGEL offers a secure read-only lightweight Linux Operating System allowing you to convert existing PC’s to IGEL OS or boot from USB (thus not affecting the existing Operating System or data) whilst in a Disaster Recovery situation, allowing users to connect to services such as VDI, DaaS and\or WEB and SaaS applications. In a DR scenario IGEL OS will work without the need for management infrastructure to be setup and configured, simply boot to IGEL OS, download evaluation licenses for 90 days; install any client applications you require to connect to your VDI, DaaS and\or WEB and SaaS applications and get your users back up and running FAST. This may also have the advantage of granting the IT team breathing space whilst they continue to troubleshoot any ongoing outages. Host: Andy Whiteside Co-host: Chris Feeney…

In response to the increasing cyber threats identified by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), including the aggressive ransomware campaigns by the Black Basta group, IGEL’s Preventative Security Model ™ stands as a critical defence mechanism for the healthcare industry.

IGEL Weekly: Preventative Security for your Endpoints – Prevention Is Better Than Cure 35:34

1 year ago35:34

35:34

IGEL’s Preventative Security Model™ provides a secure endpoint OS for your use case. It’s clear from the headlines that today’s approach to endpoint security isn’t working: take your OS, install antivirus, the latest XDR and DLP, make a lot of settings, harden that with custom scripts, install your applications, keep updating those applications and the OS and the AV and DLP….. and hope that all these steps keep the wolf from the door and the ransomware out of your systems. Does your business financial data, personal health information or any other data feel secure? With many of today’s workloads moving from the endpoint to SaaS, DaaS, VDI or being accessed through secure browsers, and many organizations looking at how to apply Zero Trust, isn’t it time to re-evaluate the endpoint? What if you could put an endpoint OS into your workforce’s hands that was designed for the cloud-first world that doesn’t need high levels of care and feeding to remain healthy? Something that is more robust by its nature, that had built-in preventative components or measures, as in “Prevention is better than cure.”? IGEL OS applies a number of core principles that make it a secure choice as an endpoint OS – the Preventative Security Model™. Host: Andy Whiteside Co-host: Chris Feeney…
