1st Show of 2023 #1642

January 12, 2023Podcastgeeknews

I am back from CES 2023, and the 35 hours of live coverage we did is in the can and being processed into specific episodes. The show was back to pre-pandemic attendance by companies, and it felt like a normal CES. So far, I have escaped getting the crud from the show and back with a full schedule with my company. Lots of great tech news today and back to a normal publishing schedule.

Twitter Blue, Gold & Grey? #1640

December 12, 2022Podcastgeeknews

Twitter Blue for individuals, Gold for businesses, and Grey for government officials, but you will have to pay $8.00 monthly to get it. The blue checkmark was a thing when it was super selective and odd who would get it and who would not. But if you spent years validating people, I wonder how you feel when they will delete all those verified checkmarks.

Apple Advances User Security #1639

December 8, 2022Podcastgeeknews

Apple Advances User Security in a big way with announcements today about beefing up encryption across many facets of iCloud storage. The FBI of course is not happy about this as they do not have a backdoor to access those encrypted files. At this point, the more security, the better.

Twitter Files Revelations for Big Tech, MSM & Politicians #1638

December 5, 2022Podcastgeeknews

Twitter Files announcements are huge revelations for Big Tech, MSM & Politicians and should wake people up if they can leave their politics at the door for 10 minutes. Everything today is about messaging and controlling the narrative. Why can’t the narrative be the narrative? We will see if Musk can find where the rest of the dead bodies are buried.

Hive App Shuts down Servers for Security Issues #1637

December 1, 2022Podcastgeeknews

German-based Hive App shut down servers for security issues because it reportedly leaked user data like crazy. Instead of patching it on the fly, they shut the service down and left users hanging because it was full of holes, security researchers reported. While it may have become a Twitter proxy the platform has a ways to go with the hive team announcing the shutdown ironically on Twitter.

Is Apple Helping the Chinese Government #1636

November 28, 2022Podcastgeeknews

Has Apple helped suppress the Chinese people and, in turn, helped the Chinese Government in recent crackdowns? By limiting certain functions of the Apple phone. One has to begin to wonder if they only like controlled speech when there are rumors that they may remove support for Twitter on the iPhone. One may start to question the value of the iOS ecosphere when one starts to hear this combined with the actions in China.
