It's been a while so we ranged widely over everything from driving trucks, to Facebook's big outage, to a riff on Louis CK's But maybe", to health, and finally to the miraculousness of our devices. Hope you enjoy it.

The dystopian edition.
We normally manage to maintain a relatively positive outlook on the web and life in general but this time we struggled. Anti-vaxers, pumping shit onto the internet, and VR violence and pornography, we ploughed our way through it all ending up deciding that skepticism/cynicism was the only valid response.

In this episode we chat about running beta version of Apple various operating systems on our devices, and our trust in companies, institutions and people. This takes us to some reflections on uploading our data servers of companies that might or might not loose it at some point. Finally we talk about Windows, and the always improving compatibility between applications and platforms.

In this episode we talk about getting older but no wiser, new Apple stuff that is incredibly cool but that we're not going to buy, an interesting new subscription support for podcasters, oh, and we almost fall out again, this time over consultancy. As a special bonus we both tell a joke and end up on the cheery subject of identity theft.

Customer Reviews
A very human look at the impact and influence of technology
Euan and Paolo invite us into their conversations about technology today but do it with honesty and a sincerity that speaks to all levels of knowledge and experience. This is not however a dime-a-dozen technical review of the latest and greatest but rather a humanistic and often humorous and personal look at tech and society. The hosts always leave you reflecting on our uses of tech and the why behind it all.
