What happens when big tech swallows the little guys? Unveil the phenomenon of "Sherlocking" as we dissect how Apple has a knack for integrating third-party innovations into their own systems, potentially rendering those original products obsolete. We trace this back to the 1990s with the Sherlock vs. Watson saga and peel back the layers to reveal its ongoing impact today.

Nick Espinosa joins us for  cybersecurity flaws in Microsoft's recall application to Chinese tech companies skirting US sanctions, we cover it all. This episode also takes you on a journey through the history of encryption standards, leading up to today's quantum encryption possibilities.

With iOS 18 on the horizon, Apple’s new call transcription service is set to make waves, and not necessarily in a good way. This episode examines how such moves by tech giants can cripple smaller developers who find their innovations swallowed whole by companies with far greater resources. Join us as we explore the ethical landscape of "Sherlocking" and its implications, while also diving into the broader debate on social media's grip on teenagers and the fine line between personal responsibility and legislative action.

 To cap it all off, Marc Gregoire introduces us to a whiskey that promises to elevate our tech talk with its unique "casket" look, which is pure Nathan and all his humor.

Imagine a whole galaxy flickering like a cosmic disco ball! A galaxy that decided to “turn on the lights” in real time. What caused this celestial rave?
