Brace yourself for a digital odyssey that's as enlightening as it is entertaining, where cybersecurity meets sub-zero strain on electric vehicles. First, Microsoft is hit with a cyber security attack, and then we dissect the chilling effects of cold weather on EV batteries – a cautionary tale for tech-savvy motorists. But that's not all – we reveal the startling shift of Vroom from car sales to the cutting-edge world of AI and auto financing, a move revving up the industry in unexpected ways.
Grab your favorite whiskey glass – you're going to need it when we crack open the underbelly of online scams on LETTERS with Cohosts Mike Gorday and Marc Gregoire. We'll arm you with knowledge and a dash of humor to navigate the murky waters of the internet, sharing personal stories of near-misses with cryptocurrency cons and the importance of a healthy dose of skepticism.
As we raise our glasses to National King Day, we'll share the warmth of our Castle & Key Restoration Rye Single Barrel whiskey experience, inviting you to savor the "Hmmm Moment" in technology.
Episode 189: Starts at :30
In this week's episode, we'll cover a range of topics that will pique your interest. First up, last week, senior Microsoft leaders' emails were accessed by state-backed Russian hackers. Next, we'll be discussing the extreme weather battery alert that has been issued due to the inability of electric vehicle batteries to handle cold temperatures. Then, a primary online car seller hit the brakes on its online used car business to go full throttle on auto financing and AI. We'll be looking at this decision and what it means for the company's future.
Later in the show, we'll take a trip down memory lane as we look back at the iconic DeLorean DMC-123. Finally, we have a profanity-laced technology failure that we'll be discussing. We'll be looking at what went wrong and what lessons can be learned from this incident.
Stay tuned for all this and more, only on TechTime Radio with Nathan Mumm, the show that makes you go "Humm" Technology news of the week for January 21st - 27th, 2024
