Not Something I Asked For

Not Something I Asked For | Battle Born Tech · August 11, 2026 This week on Battle Born Tech, three callers get hit with tech nobody invited. Brian's eBay‑bought M.2 SSD showed up locked tight, and it's not the usual BitLocker suspect: it's a self‑encrypting drive standard called SED, the kind of lock that punishes the wrong move. Rosie can't figure out why her iPhone is answering calls with a transcribing robot voice before she even picks up; turns out it's Apple's own Live Voicemail feature, not a hack, and we remind Android users about Google's version, Call Screen. And Robert's library card isn't the audiobook shortcut he hoped for: a thin catalog means weeks‑long waits, so we walk him through library card reciprocity to widen his shelf. Plus: why printing a PDF isn't the same as exporting one, and when you actually want the flattened, unsearchable version; a callback to hidden‑text prompt injection; and why Adobe pushing security updates twice a month isn't a coincidence, it's AI working both sides of the fight now.
