- 313: Encrypted iPhones vs The Government, Part 2!It was just a few years ago when Apple and Tim Cook took on the FBI and users rights to privacy, security and encryption on their personal devices. The government wants to overreach, as usual, and they believe there should be a way in for the "good guys", but what's stopping those bad guys from also getting in? Apple is having mud thrown at it in an attempt to pull at the heartstrings of all Americans. Here's to hoping you can see through this act and stand up for all of our rights./\/\/\/\/\ /\/\/\/\/\ /\/\/\/\/\ /\/\/\/\/\ /\/\/\/\/\ /\/\/\/\/\Let's continue our discussion!Follow me on Twitter at @dexter_johnson and visit http://DexJohnsPC.com to stay on top of my latest blog posts about the world of technology.Share this podcast with a friend!Links from this episode: https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/1/13/21064271/barr-apple-iphone-alshamrani-pensacolaIntro music details:Track: Pure — KV [Audio Library Release]Music provided by Audio Library PlusWatch: https://youtu.be/6q57kOJuJRcFree Download / Stream: https://alplus.io/Pure14 min

- 311: Do you trust Boeing at this point?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. As consumers we have to demand extensive public proof and testing that these planes will NOT fail due to software. Software is here to help, but also planes and automobiles work quite fine without fancy software wizardry./\/\/\/\/\ /\/\/\/\/\ /\/\/\/\/\ /\/\/\/\/\ /\/\/\/\/\ /\/\/\/\/\Let's continue our discussion!Follow me on Twitter at @dexter_johnson and visit http://DexJohnsPC.com to stay on top of my latest blog posts about the world of technology.Share this podcast with a friend!Links from this episode: https://www.engadget.com/2020/01/18/boeing-finds-new-737-max-software-flaw/Intro music details:Track: Pure — KV [Audio Library Release]Music provided by Audio Library PlusWatch: https://youtu.be/6q57kOJuJRcFree Download / Stream: https://alplus.io/Pure5 min

- 309: Uber kicked out of Columbia? This isn't Uber's problem...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. This isn't the fault of the tech -- perhaps these traditional companies need to get with the times or better yet, do better./\/\/\/\/\ /\/\/\/\/\ /\/\/\/\/\ /\/\/\/\/\ /\/\/\/\/\ /\/\/\/\/\Let's continue our discussion!Follow me on Twitter at @dexter_johnson and visit http://DexJohnsPC.com to stay on top of my latest blog posts about the world of technology.Share this podcast with a friend!Links from this episode: https://www.engadget.com/2020/01/11/uber-leaving-colombia/Intro music details:Track: Pure — KV [Audio Library Release]Music provided by Audio Library PlusWatch: https://youtu.be/6q57kOJuJRcFree Download / Stream: https://alplus.io/Pure7 min
