Reviews

4.0 out of 5 stars from 4 ratings
  • Not a reliable presenter.

    Not reliable. Mikah will often state certain things as fact when in fact it’s not true. Or show his lack of understanding of many many things tech - despite talking and studying about it so much. Disappointing and unreliable.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hands-On Tech 287: Are There Risks to Scanning QR Codes?
Q: Is there anything in a QR code that can hurt you?
No, the QR code itself is just text; harm comes from the web page it leads you to and what you do there, such as entering passwords or payment details.
Hands-On Tech 285: Are My AI Chatbot Conversations Private?
Q: What happens to a chatbot conversation after you type it in—where does it go and who can see it?
Conversations are stored on the company's servers, linked to your account, accessible to human reviewers, and by default used to train the model unless you turn off training.
Hands-On Tech 286: Shutting Down vs. Restarting Your Windows PC
Q: What should Lorraine do to verify the behavior on her PC?
Test by performing a real restart and observe if performance improves, check Task Manager uptime versus last restart, and consider disabling Fast Startup if a true shutdown is needed, though Microsoft warns against completely turning it off unless necessary.
Hands-On Tech 286: Shutting Down vs. Restarting Your Windows PC
Q: Is there really a difference between shutdown and restart, and how often should we restart?
Yes. Shutdown saves the core to disk and resumes from that saved state (Fast Startup), while restart ends the kernel session and rebuilds Windows from scratch, which means a true fresh state. The suggested practice is to restart at least once a week to clear memory and reset drivers, with true shutdown used only when a full power-off is desired.
Intelligent Machines 886: Infinite Slop
Q: How do you plan to implement on-device AI at scale across consumer devices?
Div Garg outlines a strategy of specialized, small MOE models that are spatialized for tasks (e.g., coding, math, text editing) and run on-device with selective cloud reasoning as needed, enabling edge intelligence without always contacting the cloud.
