Windows is frustrating a lot of people in 2026, and the alternatives are getting better. In this episode, Sam takes a look at the current state of technology—from Windows privacy concerns, forced updates, Copilot, bloatware, and rising hardware costs to the growing appeal of Linux and the privacy-focused approach of Apple.

Is Linux finally ready for everyday users? Is Mac a better alternative? And how did we get to a point where having more choices might actually be a good thing?

Sam shares his experiences, frustrations, and opinions on the current tech landscape—and why, if you’re unhappy with Windows, now might be the perfect time to explore your options.

In this episode of Sam Takes on the World, Sam tackles the struggle against sin—why sin is part of the human condition, how it separates us from God, and what Jesus did to restore that relationship.

Drawing from Scripture, Sam talks about repentance, temptation, self-control, accountability, fleeing from situations that lead us into sin, and the hope we have through Jesus Christ. Using the picture of walking through the darkness with a headlamp, he explores how God’s Word helps us see where we’re going and avoid stumbling.

Sin may be a lifelong battle, but through Jesus, we don’t have to fight it without hope. The journey begins with repentance, faith, and surrendering our lives to Christ.
