Teaching My Wife About Tech

Saskia is confused about a fish committing credit card fraud? (turns out it's just a clickbait title) and was shocked about the founder of Oculus moving from VR headsets to American defense technology. Lachlan explains why Huawei is banned despite being a good and cheap option in networking and mobile phone equipment. Samsung has apparently been making vaccines since 2011.

Lachlan and Saskia talk lithium batteries, Sora and recovering oil from plastic

A third attempt to get back to podcasting

Saskia and Lachlan discuss:

• Smartglasses
• Pantone
• Data storage

We're trying going full raw so you're going to have to live through Lachlan's mouth popping. Let's see if we can keep this up this time.

You may have used a screen recorder, but what if it was indexed by an AI? Elon Musk has money, why does he want your $8? What does it mean when everyone has access to deep fakes? Can you solve climate change with a big beam of microwave energy?

1: That's a terrible idea 2: Does it matter what he wants it for, millions will give him it. 3: That's another terrible idea. 4: No.

You should still listen to the podcast anyway!

Tesla's lawyers would like you to stop calling their self-driving cars "self-driving cars". 3D-printed houses won't melt. Lachlan can't remember the phrase "Kessler Syndrome". The podcast takes a turn into r/wallstreetbets territory and Saskia finds out that Lachlan's job has an expiry date.

Musk buying Twitter part 2, Telstra Breech, Windows loophole & Tesla goes camera only self-driving. In other news, Lachlan screws up the audio recording.
