Welcome back to Beyond Connected! Thanks for listening in, and if you like what you hear, come back every Wednesday for a new episode.

Our mailbag is already chock full of questions, so we decided to dive into some more listener questions this week!

First, I wanted to touch on an exciting new piece of legislation on the table in Ohio that could create some helpful regulations for AI.
Then we dig into the big questions!
- Is your phone constantly running out of storage, no matter what you do? I’ve got a handful of iPhone and Android tips to try out today.
- Are you going on a cruise sometime soon and worrying about your data security on board? I’ve got you covered in that department too!
- We also talk about a popular Amazon texting/email scam, a postage stamp hoax going around online, and an awful new trend called Facebook cloning.

Make sure to watch the full episode for a detailed breakdown of all of the above, with actionable steps you can take to protect yourself today.
