  • Linux is annoying, but I hate Window part 3141 | Episode 41

    Ethan tried and failed to do another thing in Linux and failed, Google has some new barriers for devs using Google Drive integration in their apps, we go on a tangent on End-to-end encrypted messaging services, and even Apple doesn't seem to care about its new Macs (JK)...

  • Never-ending nightmare of bad tech support (AI replies, no escalation, Microsoft, Adobe etc) | Episode 39

    Kieran's had a bad few weeks with Google tech support, being shipped the

    wrong lampshade. He also takes the chance to relive some old Adobe
    grievances.
    In other news, he's also straying from the sacred path of
    Adobe exclusivity and has recommended someone use affinity.
    @ 2:00 I inadvertently say episode 39 instead of episode 37, not that
    that matters of course, as it's purely a hypothetical scenario that
    totally didn't actually happen, hypothetically

  • Who would ruin TikTok fastest? | Episode 38

    This week we're debating which big tech company should buy TikTok and run it into the ground, we're trying to find out if there's anything sinister behind Google's Integrity API, and we try and figure out if Incogni is worthwhile (notspon) or if we could just the same thing ourselves.

  • This game nearly broke me... ($H!T BY ALL LIGHT) | Episode 37

    There's a few moments of silence in this episode due to some issues we

    experienced with discord during recording. I've left them in the edit as
    there wasn't an easy way to edit around them and the following
    conversation still make sense. Soz, Ethan xx
    Ethan has yet another update on Dead by Daylight, but he finally has a
    fix for real. Intel has launched Luna Lake for laptops, is this another
    netbook?
    Ethan has an updated stance on the LMG Controversy, and Kieran's been
    working on another piece of tasteful jank.
