We bring it back to semiconductors yet again with the latest news. We discuss pricing of products a little bit. I put my two cents on everything as always. The shortage of semiconductors has been going on for years and years. Companies and governments are working to solve the issue, however it's still going to be with us for some time. Some predict the shortage may end this year, but I believe it will happen more towards the end of 2023. I hope you enjoy. Everything is done live in real time and is not edited or pre-recorded. This is a hobby and I appreciate feedback on how I can make it better and more entertaining for you.

Let me know what you think I should do going forward with this podcast.

Long overdue request.  I do a quick overview of Hard Drives.  The types, differences, and my thoughts on the future of information storage (even though it's pretty much here already.  Sorry this episode isn't the best.  I am still trying to find a good rhythm again with this podcast.

We are finally back again after a 3 month summer hiatus.  We are coming back with more semiconductor news.  

It's all the rage in the tech news arena, so we hit a few articles and come to a simple conclusion.  Being reactive to things is not how to operate.  Proactive planning is the way to go.  Don't take things for granted.

Questions to Answer:

Intro:

Semiconductors are bigger news than Oil Prices and UFO's at the moment. It's interesting to me, because semiconductors have been a part of our life for quite some time now. And not just once in a while, like filling your gas tank in your car. I mean every day. Every single day for the past 20-30 years. The semiconductor is the heart and sole of almost everything electronic these days. Computers, communication, military systems, transportation and anything else you can think of practically. So how is it possible that amidst all that has happened in the past, that these never made huge headlines. Well, up until now, a shortage didn't really effect the general population. It may have affected gamers or some niche group of people, but nothing really large and wide spread, aka news worthy. But, when a pandemic hits, and everyone needs electronic devices to work from home, things get interesting. And then when people are venturing out and buying new cars, things get super interesting. People bought too many things and when you can't buy cars and prices start climbing, that is big news. When automobile manufacturers have to slow and in some cases shut down production for the second time in less than a year, that's big news.

So, last time I did a quick tech news segment on semiconductors. This time, let's do one of my deep dives and see where this fancy stuff came from and how we figured out to use it. Not to mention, use it in a way that has completely changed humanity as we know it.

I apologize for the long wait.  But, this subject has been requested for a few weeks now.  Semiconductors.  In particular, the shortage of semiconductors.  I briefly go over what a semiconductor is from my limited comings and goings as an engineer.  And then we go through a quick recap of the last year and why there is a shortage of materials.  And then we dive into some articles related to the subject.  There are some articles I did not get to, and will be linked below along with the others.  There is a detailed article that goes a little more in depth on the history of these shortages.  I hope you enjoy the content.  I will do my best to keep them coming.

Tech News again.  Just google Autonomous Vehicles and click on News and see what articles pop up that are interesting.  And then I talk about them and give my logical take on what they say.  Today we go into some details related to autonomous vehicles and we talk a little about how Tesla's latest Beta release of their "Full Self Driving" or FSD program is going. As usual, references to the articles I mentioned are below so that you can read them for yourself without my annoying commentary to distract you from the article's information.

Tech News discussion on Smart Home Technology.  I accidentally deleted all the links I was using, so no references this time.  I just googled Smart Home Tech and clicked on news.  We learned there is a new standard coming out on more products called Thread.  It's poised to replace zigbee and Z-wave as the communication standard between all smart home devices.  We also went over a more cost effective company for smart home tech called Wyze.  Some of their offerings are cheaper while having some of the same features of the main stay brands.  This makes it easier to give a system a try without having to spend a lot of money.  I am not completely sold on doing smart home security over a more traditional security system.  But, I feel video doorbells and bluetooth lock tech can be useful and convenient in some scenarios.  We also go over the importance of picking a good smart hub to integrate all your tech into one central hub.  This makes the whole experience better for you in the end.  

I hope you enjoy the logical discussion about the technology.  I will try to get more episodes out there more often in the future.

I just Google "Wireless Charging" and click on the news section.  And then I randomly pick articles to review solely based on the title.  It can be a dangerous endeavor as we have seen before.  This time I do a lot more talking about what I know about the wireless charging market, and discuss new technologies that are coming to market from various companies.  There is always a good chance that I will include some sort of random rant, horrible jokes, and sometimes some personal bias.  I encourage you to keep thinking logically about technology.  Article links are below if you would like to read them yourself.  Also, check out my YouTube if you want to see my beautiful face while I discuss all of these items.  Plus, reviews will be coming soon to that channel as well.  Tech-N-Logic everywhere.

This is the first episode of 2021 and I thought I should do a quick recap of CES 2021.  I treated it like a tech news episode and just clicked and went through some articles which you can find linked below as references.  There is so much to cover at CES it is nearly impossible to scratch even the surface of all that happens in one podcast, let alone 5 or 20 even.  Keep an eye out for more tech news podcasts going forward with our goal to produce 2 episodes per month for the rest of 2021.  Don't forget to check out and subscribe to the YouTube channel.  The podcasts are also posted there so you can see my hideous face, but there will be product reviews posted there as well that will not be featured on this podcast.

Thanks for sticking with me for a little over a year of podcasting so far.  It's a fun hobby and I hope I can keep doing it for more years to come.  Spread the podcast and get all your friends and family starting to think logically about technology!

I go over everything on my 2021 Tech Wishlist, from wanting to see an Apple Foldable phone, to the M1 chip being offered for PC builders to smart home powered by 5G and health monitoring along with affordable solar panels for homes and much more, with a bonus rant here and there.  See you all in 2021 with hopefully more tech podcasts and hopefully some YouTube content as well!
