Tech Talk with Leith Forrest – Wednesday 16th September 2026 (FIVEaa Afternoons)
On the show: Richard reviews the latest Narwal AI robot vacuum and mop – obstacle avoidance that steers around shoes and pet accidents, tangle-free brushes for dog hair, and hot-water mop washing – and Leith shares listeners’ best robot vacuum names. Plus the hidden water cost of AI image trends, and a warning about ‘toasted skin syndrome’ from resting a hot laptop on your lap.
Your calls: Roblox changes and turning off messaging to keep kids safe, using the ChatGPT app rather than the browser and why free AI accounts are less private, upgrading from an iPhone XR to the iPhone 17 range or the foldable iPhone, moving the taskbar in Windows 11 Pro, an iPhone 12 that won’t keep Bluetooth on, and why buying a phone overseas can cause problems with Triple Zero calls.
