On The New Screen Savers with Leo Laporte and Jason Howell recorded on Saturday, July 28, 2018:

  • eyecandylab develops tech to bring AR experiences to TV programming. Co-Founder Robin Sho Moser joins via Skype to talk about their platform augment.tv and its US debut on Nickelodeon.
  • Do you like robots? How about a well-crafted drink? Well, throw that in a Venn diagram and you end up with drinkbots. We show you a bit of DNA Lounge's fifth annual Cocktail Robotics Grand Challenge here in SF, and we meet Dr. Bombay (Samuel Coniglio), Kiki Jewell, and Katherine Becvar, the makers of the TikiTron in-studio. Their drinkbot uses several Raspberry Pi 3s, 12 peristaltic pumps, Adafruit DC & Stepper Motor HATs, and requires a sacrifice.
  • Megan Morrone gives her review of the Amazon Cloud Cam security camera that works with Alexa.
  • Jason reviews the first Chrome OS tablet, the Acer Chromebook Tab 10 after spending several weeks with it.
  • Leo and Jason also talk about why New York is kicking Spectrum internet out of the state. Plus, the details behind the ACLU's test of Amazon's facial recognition system.
  • Hosts: Leo Laporte and Jason Howell

    Guests: Robin Sho Moser, Samuel Coniglio, Katherine Becvar, Kiki Jewell, and Megan Morrone
