Is Google Cloud truly the underdog in the cloud industry despite a 28% revenue spike? Tune in to uncover the hidden drivers behind Google Cloud’s impressive financial performance, and learn why its AI and data analytics capabilities might be the secret sauce. We also dissect a shocking move by the cybersecurity giant Wiz to back out of a $23 billion acquisition deal, delving into the complex mix of regulatory fears and strategic recalculations that may have influenced this decision.

Ever wondered how a simple software update could wreak havoc across millions of devices? Our deep dive into the recent CrowdStrike update catastrophe reveals how it triggered blue screen errors and authentication nightmares, resembling a full-blown supply chain attack. Discover how bad actors took advantage of the chaos to launch phishing scams and why Microsoft partly blames EU regulations. To lighten things up, we pivot to our mandatory AI news update, offering a refreshing break from the technical turmoil.

Finally, let's take a nostalgic journey as we explore the potential revival of classic digital assistants like Ask Jeeves, now empowered by advanced AI like GPT-4. We also spotlight Astranis and its ambitious plans to revolutionize internet connectivity with geostationary satellites, having just secured a hefty $200 million in Series D funding. With targets to churn out 24 satellites annually, Astranis aims high, but what are the real challenges of maintaining such technology for a decade? Plus, we address the looming issue of space debris. Join us for a compelling episode brimming with industry insights and forward-thinking discussions!
