I have been listening to John since I discovered him on “This Week In Tech” and I enjoyed his show “Cranky Geeks” while it was running. I hope he gets well and has a fast recovery!

> In 2018, he claimed on Medium that he was fired from PC Magazine because of an article he wrote questioning the safety of 5G. At least there's a chance he never got the jabs.

The No Agenda show has really gone downhill in the last few years. They now clearly have an agenda, and their coverage of recent ICE shootings was horribly biased. I lost all respect for Adam after this. The hosts are tired, keep recycling the same old tropes, and clearly have run out of any of the personal anecdotes that used to glue the show together. Listen back to a show from 10 years ago and the difference in energy is night and day, as well as the shows being noticeably more balanced in the opinions presented.

Not to be confused with the uncle, August Dvorak, inventor of the keyboard, who apparently served in the US Army against Pancho Villa, and later in the Navy in both WW I and WW II. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_Dvorak https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_Dvorak

Loved reading his columns back in print magazine days. Found him again changing Leo Laporte's phones language to something other than English. Loved that. Found No Agenda from there. Was quite surprised to hear this news last week. Hope he heals up quickly. I wouldn't be surprised if he back in front of the mic in 3-4 weeks.

Been a fan since his InfoWorld columns in the 80's. Then PC Magazine and now his No Agenda podcast for decades. Thank you for 40 years of computer knowledge Mr. Dvorak and I wish you a fast recovery.
