  • Great shows

    All the shows that involve Trevor (and Steven ), I really enjoy. Always very informative but with humility and a sense of humour. I actually discovered this through the no longer running f1 podcast, and now listen to all their shows. Great listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Motorola on the folding phone market and your calls on all things tech!
Q: And so do you see that as a rising tide lifts all boats moment?
Praveena agrees that Apple entering the foldable market can raise awareness and expand the category. She says foldables account for a small but growing share of the overall phone market.
Motorola on the folding phone market and your calls on all things tech!
Q: How's that gone and what's the decision behind that in terms of not just leaning on the Razor but expanding into the fold?
Praveena says Motorola's book-style fold launched globally in January and in Australia in July, exceeding expectations. She says some buyers value its larger display and productivity features, while the Razr flip remains appealing for its pocketable design.
Laptop advice and a call from an Apple Watch - your tech questions answered!
Q: What do we need a VPN for? Can we be discussing this openly?
Simone wants to watch foreign-language programs that are geographically restricted. Long explains how a VPN can make a device appear to be in another country, advises testing a major VPN service on a laptop first, and cautions that streaming providers may block VPN connections.
Laptop advice and a call from an Apple Watch - your tech questions answered!
Q: So what I think is best for you is a 16 inch laptop, right?
Long recommends considering a larger laptop screen and pairing the computer with a large external monitor. For Sandra's needs, he suggests a 43-inch Samsung Smart Monitor and a new laptop in the $1,000 to $1,500 range.
Advice for Data Breach victims, Portable monitors and travel cameras!
Q: How can I protect myself from phishing after a breach?
Assume any emails claiming to be from the company could be spoofed; avoid clicking links, verify via official channels, and consider anti-phishing tools and password managers.
