  • Great Show and some ChatGPT feedback

    Just wanna say awesome show and also your episode about Google antitrust just bothered me that nobody on the panel knew how to clear the ChatGPT memories. It's in the settings under personalization, manage memories. There you can delete all (or some). Now after doing that, ask ChatGPT again what it knows about you and the answer will be it knows nothing. Now who knows if it truly purges it, but just wanted to share that.

  • Never thought I would enjoy a Tech show so much

    I consider myself knowledgeable about thing happening in the world including technology and social media, but I never considered myself a tech person I added this podcast to my feed more than a year ago and I have found it to be informative. Mikah gives the full picture of technology, mechanics, and implications on humans.

    I’m sure they are nice guys. But this could be the biggest monotone reporting and dialogue by nerds I’ve ever heard.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TNW 461: The Mac Finally Gets Touchy - Apple Unveils Its Touchscreen MacBook Pro
Q: What is it that makes PHP2Shell especially bad compared with a typical security flaw and then can you help all of us understand what an attacker can actually do with these exploits?
Zack Whittaker explains that the vulnerabilities can enable unauthenticated remote code execution. An attacker could install malware, take control of an affected server, or potentially access other systems on its network.
TNW 461: The Mac Finally Gets Touchy - Apple Unveils Its Touchscreen MacBook Pro
Q: What did that internal email say about the process and how are employees interpreting it?
Joseph Cox says Proton intends to re-interview employees about their AI use to identify how they are applying it and what they plan to do next. Employees see the process as pressure to adopt AI, with possible effects on promotion or continued employment.
TNW 460: iPhone Duo: A Week Later - Apple's Big $2000 Mobile Bet
Q: How in the world does it count even get that large? And then what actually, to try to understand that, what counts as a single violation under that law?
Poritz says the jury could count each person who viewed a misleading public statement as a separate violation. Applying that measure across 29 statements and millions of New Mexico residents and Facebook users produced more than 43 million violations.
TNW 460: iPhone Duo: A Week Later - Apple's Big $2000 Mobile Bet
Q: For folks who haven't held one yet, which is most people, what is the iPhone Duo like closed versus open? And then how did that shape change the way that you actually used it day to day?
Allison Johnson describes a compact 5.4-inch cover screen that is awkward for some one-handed use, while the wide inner screen and subtle matte finish make the open phone especially enjoyable. Its weight and shape tend to encourage opening it for more involved use.
TNW 459: Apple's Smart Home Reset - Apple's New Take on Smart Home Devices
Q: Did you get to see examples of the facial recognition switching things between people?
Jennifer says HomeView can recognize a user and show their personalized messages and calendar, then lock that profile when they leave. She saw demonstrations but did not test the feature herself.
