It's a week of nuisances for our intrepid hosts this week. Nic wants to see the death of calling anything cyber again, and Seamus is bemused by Facebook's PR talking points chatbot for its workers. And do drone noise regulations need federal rules before it all gets out of hand? Plus queen conspiracies, Star Citizens and can't we get a 'just right' phone plan that doesn't apply the cinema popcorn pricing rule?

This week Nic and Seamus talk Minecraft Earth and get a little sidetracked reminiscing about the first days of Pokemon Go. Seamus delivers a double dose of good security hygiene with Brave browser 1.0 and Yubikey (by Yubico). Nic explores the state of subscription services in gaming, including the new Telstra deal, and the big question - is Disney giving us too much Star Wars?

This week we talk about why Seamus has quit Facebook (but not exactly deleted it), how Nic is preparing to automate his new home, and the Disney+ 4:3 ratio Simpsons problem. Plus we talk Outer Worlds, Death Stranding, and loving games because they exist even if we never want to play them. And some breaking news around the launch of a new 16-inch MacBook Pro.

Also... while recording the show it was officially revealed that The Simpsons will indeed be on Disney+ at local launch. So ignore Seamus when he talks about it not being on there when it launches next week.

Nic and Seamus talk Pixel 4, Sonos Move, and the whole "Is Marvel cinema?" conundrum, plus Disney, err, Plus. Seamus also has a big problem with big gaming keyboards.

Seamus Byrne and Nic Healey deliver the first ever Byteside podcast (because the Byteside from 10 years ago was never actually a podcast!) They talk about criminal trials in Fallout 76, D&D, Vampire, esports corruption, that amazingly nasty Goose Game and more.
