  • 363: EA put ads in UFC 4 replays, resulting in backlash!
    Not just backlash, but a well deserved backlash. People are tired of ads appearing everywhere in their lives, especially a game that they just paid $60 for. Developers, please, stop it.

  • 362: iOS 14 gives the finger to advertisers?
    IOS updates are always fun, New emjois, apps and most importantly updates to our privacy and security. Users can now hide their Identifier for Advertisers, making it even more difficult for apps you install to track you! Be sure to select the "Ask app not to track" whenever it pops up! The only question is how much security messaging is too much security messaging?

  • 361: YouTube Music, Beautiful and Infuriating
    How can one app prompt feelings of love and hate at the same time? Ask Google! They've mastered it. YouTube Music gives you access to millions of songs and music videos, the biggest question I have is "WHAT version of the song are you listening to?", with a service that prioritizes video.

  • 360: Amazon finally held liable for items in the store!
    Liability! It has to go somewhere. Amazon loves to play the middle man and we all should be sick of it, I want Amazon to vet it's retailers and their products -- you should too.

  • 359: Donald Trump versus TikTok
    An executive order has been signed to ban TikTok in 45 days. Is this necessary? Aren't there more important things that our executive branch should be doing? Is TikTok really that bad? Or is our president just upset?

  • 357: Congress questions big tech in antitrust hearing.
    The liberals are upset about everything every company does, right? The conservatives feel that no one wants to listen to their lite voices, right? Today, members of congress asked questions of 4 of the largest tech companies on the planet and while valid points were made, it's clear that this entire hearing was meant to push their agendas and there was a severe lack of understanding of how the technology actually works.
