Happy Monday! Last Monday of the month! It's a Pajama Podcast show! We're back from a road trip, and being on the road is the perfect time to really test a BUNCH of gadgets! I've got some thoughts on the Pixel Tablet and Pixel Fold.
Happy Monday! While traveling, I’ve pre-recorded this podcast in advance of this week’s Samsung Unpacked event. A bit serious and a bit tongue in cheek, here’s how I transitioned from die-hard Samsung Knight to insufferable hater. I often pick on the most toxic members of a brand’s fandom, but I haven’t done a great job of explaining how I got here.
Happy Monday! The FCC is still in deadlock, but that might be changing soon. Twitter is still cash flow negative. Threads engagement might be slipping. Google is losing AR talent. Sony and Microsoft sign a deal on Call of Duty. Intel is killing the NUC.
Happy Monday! Threads is growing like crazy, but what concerns might we have for a new social media platform from Meta? Evernote is scaling way back on staff, and moving operations to Europe. Google is looking to ditch Samsung for a future Tensor chip.
Happy Monday! Valve is pushing back against AI trained on copyrighted materials. Dev's say Apple's Vision Pro is NOT going to be a good VR solution. Oracle is running Database on ARM chips. Google breaks my heart again, I mean kills their AR glasses again.
Happy Monday! Facebook is going to stop supplying news in Canada. Netflix also pulls cheapest ad-free plan from Canada. Musk faces more fines in Australia over hate speech. ISPs lobby for more money from the government.
Social media continues it's decline. Reddit is looking at forcing communities to go public by removing volunteer moderators. Twitter is being sued by music publishers, and is getting evicted from their Colorado office.
What a strange time we live in.
There's a LOT of tech news firing up around the web! Reddit's moderators are pulling popular subreddits down in protest of API changes. Twitter still refuses to pay their bills.
We never did a PJ Podcast for May, and the news this week will be DOMINATED by Apple's WWDC. Since my podcast airs RIGHT BEFORE the main keynote, let's hang out and chat about fun geeky stuff! Any crazy predictions for the show?
HAPPY MONDAY! SOCIAL MEDIA NEWS IS HOT RIGHT NOW! Meta facing fines. DoorDash overcharging iPhone users. Grownups are walking away from Twitter. Also, Right to Repair is heating up in France, and what should we expect from Apple's Mixed Reality Headset?
