  • Fantastic. Have loved listening to Miriam ever since I first heard her on those big group tech journalists collab podcasts I heard back in early to mid 2010s I believe during IFA, MWC etc etc. Still just as curious and passionate about tech as ever. Particularly love hearing you talk about phone/tech manufacturers outside the US bubble.

  • Different Perspective

    I appreciate Myriam’s perspective on tech but I feel like she keeps talking over the guest she’s with and it’s making it difficult for me to listen at times.

The state of mobile gaming, PlayStation ditches discs, OnePlus shuts down, Moto Edge 70 Max, Huawei Pura 90s Pro Max, Redmi Note 17 series, and more with Carl-Edwin Michel of Radio Canada
Q: Do you see a viable path for publishers to support preservation without undermining their business?
Yes—through controlled reissues, player-friendly licensing models, and collaborations with archivists and platforms that reward preservation while still monetizing new content.
Meta Glasses, Xreal 1S review, Google Fitbit Air review, Sony Xperia 1 VIII impressions, Nothing Phone (4b) teaser, and more with YouTube creator Joshua Vergara
Q: What are your thoughts on the Meta Glasses pricing and privacy implications?
Pricing at $299 is competitive for the segment, but the real value depends on privacy and how aggressively you leverage the AI and camera features; there's a tension between affordability and concerns about data use, which will influence adoption.
The state of smartglasses, Xreal project Aura, smartglasses at Google I/O, Realme 16T, Xiaomi 17T Pro, Oppo Reno 16 series, and more with Nick Sutrich of Android Central
Q: How do you compare Aura with the current Meta Ray-Ban displays and other AR glasses in terms of usability and future prospects?
The host emphasizes Aura as a VR headset-in-glass form factor with hand tracking and a Compute Puck, which could deliver more capable experiences than small-scope wearables, while Nick points out Aura's reliance on a tethered model and the importance of software ecosystems; both agree the next few years will reveal whether these devices become mainstream or stay niche gadgets.
The state of smartglasses, Xreal project Aura, smartglasses at Google I/O, Realme 16T, Xiaomi 17T Pro, Oppo Reno 16 series, and more with Nick Sutrich of Android Central
Q: What are your initial thoughts on the Google I/O wearables announcements and the Samsung/Warby Parker partnership?
Nick explains that while the partnerships are interesting from a hardware collaboration perspective, the real test will be how well the software stacks (Gemini, Galaxy Wear, and Google's AI features) integrate with the hardware, and how the user experience feels across contexts like driving, workouts, and day-to-day tasks.
Apple MacBook Neo first impressions, Oppo Find X9 Ultra teaser, Moto Razr leaks, Insta360 Snap, and more with Enrique Villacrez of Cyber Nut HQ
Q: How do you see Oppo's Find X9 Ultra impacting the broader camera-phone market?
The Find X9 Ultra demonstrates that camera prowess and distinctive design can drive consumer interest beyond raw specs, pushing competitors to emphasize imaging capabilities and unique physical design cues to stand out in a crowded market.
