It’s no secret that Windows machines can be a bit tricky when it comes to backups. But fear not, because we have some advice.

This week on ABC Melbourne Drive, we’ll kick things off with an audience question delving into how Windows users can backup, and talk about how the headaches can roll on simply because of how complex it can all be.

But it’s not just Windows causing headaches. Smart TVs are increasingly tracking what we watch, thanks to automatic content recognition (ACR) technology.

Some companies use this data to display targeted ads on smart TV dashboards, but the extent of its usage isn’t always clear. Fortunately, if you’re worried about privacy, there are some ways to change things, and potentially turn it off your screen.

Finally, there are some more tech questions to answer, with Pickr’s Leigh Stark all too happy to help anyone who comes-a-calling.

Check out Melbourne Drive for August 11 with Charlie Pickering on ABC Melbourne to listen back in full, kicking in from the 1 hour 40 minute mark.
