Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tech News Weekly 453: Scammers Cash In on GTA 6
Q: How did you come to notice these GTA 6-related scam sites, and what did you find most surprising?
We looked at search results fans would use and found a network of fake Rockstar-branded sites that closely mimic official branding, which created a strong temptation to click. The sophistication and rapid response to news cycles were surprising, showing how quickly criminals exploit hype.
Hands-On Tech 283: Is Airplane Mode Necessary?
Q: Gene, is there any real engineering reason for airplane mode in 2026, or is it just an outdated rule?
The rule is rooted in historical concerns about interfering with ground networks and navigation systems, but modern checks show no documented incident where a passenger phone caused a crash; the FAA relaxed usage to allow airplane mode throughout flights, and a smart setup is airplane mode with Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth enabled.
Hands-On Tech 281: Incognito Browsing
Q: What does private browsing actually hide and from whom?
It hides activity on the local device after the session ends (history, cookies, and login data), but does not hide activity from websites, IP addresses, or network observers; it wipes the slate for the device but not for the wider internet, and tools like HTTPS and tracker-blocking extensions can further reduce tracking.
Hands-On Tech 280: Am I Getting True Gigabit Internet?
Q: Al writes in and says, Hey, Mikah. Hi, Al. I pay for gigabit internet. I just ran a speed test on my phone and got 240 megabits per second. My provider says everything checks out and points to the words up to in my plan. Am I being ripped off or is there a legitimate reason I'll never see the number I'm actually paying for?
The line-by-line testing shows that the problem is typically not the ISP itself but the combination of Wi‑Fi and device limitations. A speed test on a phone over Wi‑Fi tends to measure the weakest link in the chain, so you're seeing the real-world cap of your home network rather than the full gigabit you're paying for. The guidance is to test with a wired connection first, ensure you're using Cat5e/Cat6, pause other devices, and then evaluate over a week to collect receipts for a support discussion with the ISP.
Tech News Weekly 447: Google Says AI Isn't Taking Your Job
Q: What can individuals do to protect themselves given the OpenAI-Hugging Face breach?
Rotate access tokens, monitor for suspicious activity, and rely on vendors' remediation and disclosures while staying informed through trusted outlets like ZDNet and official advisories.
