Episode 11 - Tech combats covid
Apr 3, 202000:42:20Tap to summarizeIn this very socially isolated episode of tech matters, we talk about our little corner of the world and how we are adapting to socially isolating, and using technology to stay connected for work and play. We talk about a few candidates for tech fail of the week - both from government, and also some things we think they got right with the coronavirus apps they've been releasing to keep everyone informed.
Transcribe →Episode 10 - Is everyone working from home yet?
Mar 22, 202000:59:18Tap to summarizeIn tonight's episode, we do our first isolation podcast via skype, not because we have to yet, but because we thought we should have a go before we had to do it this way anyway. We talk about that viral craze sweeping the globe - covid-19, and how it's realigning the way some people work (those lucky enough to be able to) from home, and how it'd be so much better if we were all on fibre optic internet. Craig tells us about a fantastic app that's free at the moment for frustrated ballerz (Basketball that is) in isolation, and we drop a quick dose of quick tech news. Stay safe everyone, wash those hands and space out a bit more, you're standing too close.

Mar 6, 202000:35:55Tap to summarize In episode 9 of Tech matters, Greg and Craig talk about how Mozilla is preemptively starting to think of user privacy with their Firefox browser, and how 8K is basically a waste of money as most people can't tell the difference from 4k screens. Coronavirus fever (pun intended) is sweeping the world, with online companies having to ban the sale of products claiming to help prevent it, and Consumer level drones are finally starting to get smart enough to stop their operators crashing them into stuff.
