Summary: Who’s there? It’s this week’s episode of Pop Tech Jam, with ideas for coping with the current state of the world.

In light of Mother Nature’s recent activities, J.D. shares a few lists of places you can send money to help earthquake and hurricane disaster recovery efforts in Mexico, Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico and the other Caribbean islands.<br><br> PTJ 248 is here to help!<br> Links to Stories on This Week’s Episode<br> <br> * <a href="http://www.htc.com/us/about/newsroom/2017/2017-09-21-htc-google/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Google and HTC Announce US$1.1 Billion Cooperation Agreement</a> (HTC)<br> * <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/20/technology/google-htc-smartphones.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Google Is Buying HTC’s Smartphone Expertise for $1.1 Billion</a> (The New York Times)<br> * <a href="https://www.sec.gov/news/public-statement/statement-clayton-2017-09-20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Statement on Cybersecurity</a> (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission)<br> * <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/us-sec-intrusion/sec-says-hackers-may-have-traded-using-stolen-insider-information-idUSKCN1BW029" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">SEC says hackers may have traded using stolen insider information</a> (Reuters)<br> * <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/21/16341876/new-apple-tv-4k-review-2017" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Apple TV 4K review: so close, so far</a> (The Verge)<br> * <a href="https://nest.com/press/nest-expands-into-home-security/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Nest Expands into Home Security with First Security System Designed to Be Easy on Residents, Tough on Intruders</a> (Nest blog)<br> * <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sheryl/posts/10159255449515177" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Facebook will strengthen enforcement of ad targeting policies, add more human oversight, and urge users to report potential abuses directly</a> (Sheryl Sandberg on Facebook)<br> * <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-41347467" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Fake website fools Equifax staff</a> (BBC)<br> * <a href="https://minecraft.net/en-us/article/better-together-update-here" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">The Better Together Update is here!</a> (Minecraft.com)<br> * <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/connect/ebooks/the-saturn-system.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">The Saturn System Through the Eyes of Cassini</a> (NASA)<br> <br> iPhone Audio Amps<br> <br> * <a href="https://www.nexum-design.com/copy-of-aqua-en">Nexum Aqua Micro Audio Amplifier</a><br> * <a href="http://www.audioquest.com/dragonfly-series/">Audioquest Dragonfly Red USB DAC + Preamp + Headphone Amp</a><br> * <br> <a href="https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MMX62AM/A/lightning-to-35-mm-headphone-jack-adapter?afid=p238%7CsbGhZsmTx-dc_mtid_1870765e38482_pcrid_52243316890_&cid=aos-us-kwgo-pla-btb--slid--product-MMX62AM/A">Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter</a><br> <br> <br> (Hopefully) Helpfully Hint: How to Effectively Donate to Disaster Relief Funds<br> <br> * <a href="https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/9/20/16338698/donate-hurricane-earthquake-relief-recovery" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Where you can donate to help with hurricane and earthquake relief and recovery</a> (Vox.com)<br> * <a href="http://samanthabee.com/places-to-donate-for-mexicopuerto-rico-relief/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">P...</a>
