What's important?: Netflix did well in Q4, 2023, better than expected, given price hikes and ads....do you still subscribe?Links:- https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/23/business/2024-earnings-report-netflix-stock/index.html-****
What's important?: Around the US, electric vehicles are getting stuck and running out of juice due to the cold temperatures. This isn't just a Tesla problem, nor is it their fault....it's a myriad of issues that unfortunately are getting shoved down our throats.
What's important?: Apple's Vision Pro has a lot of great inclusions from Disney, TikTok and more but will it's price ultimately hold this device back? I think so.Links:- https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/16/24039960/apple-vision-pro-3d-movies-disney-plus-****
What's important?: Gone are the days of ownership in the digital age. Links:- https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2023/12/02/playstation-is-deleting-tv-shows-players-paid-for-thanks-to-warner-bros/?sh=2b28a4a533d5****
What's important?: No one likes dealerships and apparently Hyundai doesn't either! The car manufacturer is teaming up with Amazon to change your buying experience starting in 2024.Links:- https://www.hyundainews.com/en-us/releases/3999-****
What's important?: In the words of LeBron James, "It's about damn time", that it is. We pay more, now, for everything and just because a community is poorer or disparaged doesn't mean it should get less quality of service in an age where being connected is more important than ever.

What's important?: Faster, faster, faster. M3 is faster than the previous generation, with much improved graphics performance. If you're still on an Intel machine or perhaps M1 machine -- these could be the Macs for you.Links:- https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/30/23938867/apple-m3-imac-macbook-pro-biggest-announcements-m3****
What's important?: Chromebook Plus is a new design spec announced by Google that will highlight machines running Chrome OS that meet higher, more capable hardware requirements. Today is a good day -- no more getting away with selling junk machines.Links:- https://www.androidauthority.com/google-chromebook-plus-3369405/?n=%40****
What's important?:Here we go again, another Google product being killed, this time with it's purpose supposedly getting integrated into YouTube Music, which seems a little shortsighted.Links:--****
What's important?: This episode I take to give an overview of the iPhone 15 Event, featuring new watches and phones with a focus on carbon neutrality. How'd Apple do?Links:- https://www.imore.com/iphone/iphone-15-pro- https://www.imore.com/health-fitness/apple-watch/apple-watch-series-9- https://www.imore.com/iphone/iphone-15-camera****
What's important?: Let Apple or Samsung tell you, you need a new phone every year. I'm here to tell you.....that's a lie.

What's important?: Senior staffers at YouTube are worried that YouTube Shorts is killing it's long form content. With everyone wanting to be TikTok, THAT may be the bigger problem.
Links: - https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/3/23857451/youtube-shorts-tiktok-ads-short-video
What's important?: X is seriously devolving by removing features that make a social network work.... No block lists... No headlines on articles shared... Make it make sense. Links:- https://www.theverge.com/2023/8/22/23841012/x-twitter-remove-headlines-news-elon-musk****
What's important?: Elon is on a mission to destroy Twitter and remove all of its built up brand equity. Way to go buddy. Twitter has been renamed and it's slowing becoming a pile of garbage.

What's important?: MVNOS, mobile virtual network operators, can save you a load of cash. Stop paying the big dogs for the same service, you and your dollars are contractors....pick up and move to where the grass is greener and better for your pockets.

What's important?: ChatGPT, AI generated songs and "art" -- can we start to understand the legal implications before we open the floodgates? Links:--****
What's important?: Netflix, I'm over you. I'm over not being able to find anything to watch. I'm over actual good shows getting the boot after one or two seasons. I'm over small incremental price hikes with a lessening of overall quality. Peace out.Links:--****
What's important?: Now, more than ever, consumers are placing a new car buying decision on whether or not it has Android Auto or CarPlay. With GM wanting to focus on their own infotainment system, I say we make them (and others) regret that decision. Let these new cars rot on lots.Links:- https://www.theverge.com/2023/4/4/23669523/gm-apple-carplay-android-auto-ev-restrict-access****
What's important?: Remember during the height of the pandemic when social audio apps like Clubhouse were all the rage? When's the last time you listened on any of these?

What's important?: I still don't know why deep fakes exist. No one can tell me the usefulness of these monstrosities other than to lie and mislead. Now, TikTok, which has been under fire for years, is taking steps to clean them up. Links:- https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/21/23648099/tiktok-content-moderation-rules-deepfakes-ai****
What's important?: The GOP wants to ban TikTok and are making steps toward it....I feel like they should look on American soil as well.Links:- https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/1/23620736/tiktok-ban-china-app-biden-foreign-affairs-bytedance-****
What's important?: It's a great day to own an EV....with Tesla opening the supercharger network (it should've been open from the beginning to help bolster overall charging), this provides access to more locations for the entire community. Great job to lawmakers and Tesla.Links:- https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/1/23620368/tesla-supercharger-non-tesla-ev-payment-access-app-****Find podcast notes (if any) here: https://dexjohnspc.com/podcast/
If the latest charging strategy doesn't affect your usage, why are you outraged? If you can get energy when it's better for the environment, coupled with optimized charging -- what's the harm in that? Stop looking for outrage and shut up.

What's important?: Manufacturers are sad that you aren't connecting your appliances to wifi. Cry me a river.... Why should we? To make a botnet? To deal with obsolescence 2-3 years later? To invade our privacy?

What's important?: We don't need an app for that. Sometimes putting where it's not needed makes a product difficult to use, a car more confusing or a home a privacy risk. Manufacturers, tech giants and coders -- can WE do better?Links:--****Find podcast notes (if any) here: https://dexjohnspc.com/podcast/
Many think this is a purposeful move from Elon to make users utilize the default Twitter app, which uses ads, algorithms and can be monetized. I hope this is it for the platform.What's important?:Links: https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/13/23553161/third-party-twitter-clients-apps-outage-twitterific-tweetbot--****Find podcast notes (if any) here: https://dexjohnspc.com/podcast/
What's important?: EVs and their technology will be used to spy and we have a government that'll take advantage of this...meanwhile, Tesla and other manufacturers lazily hide controls behind a touchscreen without offering industry standards such as CarPlay.Links:--****Find podcast notes (if any) here: https://dexjohnspc.com/podcast/
What's important?: LastPass was breached in the summer of 2022, they admitted it but as of the past few weeks we've gotten damping details about all that's been in the breach. Is it time to switch?Links:- https://www.cloudwards.net/the-best-lastpass-alternative/-****Find podcast notes (if any) here: https://dexjohnspc.com/podcast/
What's important?: Twitter (clearly at the demand of Elon crybaby Musk) is banning the sharing of links to other social media sites, including but not limited to Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Truth Social and more.... It's falling apart fast there.Links:--****Find podcast notes (if any) here: https://dexjohnspc.com/podcast/
What's important?: The TikTok-ification of every app...From YouTube Shorts to Reels and now a shopping feed, named Inspire (seen by clicking a light bulb in the Amazon app) are upon us. We didn't ask for this!!?

Art is generated from a human after thought and is a deep expression of their existence. Is that the same as typing into a box what you want to see? I don't think so. I think it's nice to tear down a barrier, but art is expressed not derived. What's important?:

Could Mastodon be the next great social network? Yes. Is Mastodon a direct Twitter replacement? No. Is Mastodon incredibly rough around the edges? Yes.

In iOS 14.5 Apple rolled out the feature they debuted last year, App Tracking Transparency. Meaning that if an app wants to use your personal information to track you, you must explicitly allow it. Facebook and others are upset and they can be as this is great for the consumer. Why is asking a bad thing? Only when your business model is nefarious and you think it's your right to gobble up as much about us as you can for free. Not anymore, I encourage everyone to never allow an app to track you again. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Let's continue our discussion!

Patreon, YouTube memberships, soon to be Twitter super follows -- these are all ways to give back to your favorite subscribers. Honestly, we should be trying to limit our monthly micropayments, with that being said -- Why can't platforms such as YouTube that earn billions of dollars per year in revenue share more of that with the creators that have placed the platform where it is today instead of forcing consumers to fit the bill?

737 Max? Does that name sound familiar? This is the same plane that has been grounded after causing 346 deaths worldwide and now it has a software flaw that can prevent takeoff.

Software is here to help, but also planes and automobiles work quite fine without fancy software wizardry. /\/\/\/\/\ /\/\/\/\/\ /\/\/\/\/\ /\/\/\/\/\ /\/\/\/\/\ /\/\/\/\/\ Let's continue our discussion!

Technology has been the disrupter of our ages. A traditional company comes along and does something great but gets stagnant and doesn't care about it's customers, suddenly an upstart creates and app and simply does "it" better -- whether it's Amazon, Google, Uber or anyone.

Music streaming was largely pioneered when Appld began to flex it's muscles with iTunes and developed a model where companies with with labels to get music and artists on their respective platforms.

The General Data Protection Regulation is legislation put in place in the EU that puts the privacy of consumers first in this technological world. In a nutshell, if a company wants to use your data in any way -- they must explicitly state how and why. Additionally, if anything about that changes it must also be noted. Although, this is pushed by EU, it'll have global affects because companies will work to protect privacy of some and push those features out to all in most cases.

Don't be surprised. Apple's HomePod, their revolutionary speaker, is having slumping sales after gathering 10% of the market (percentage calculated by analysts).
