Jack Cook, Ricky Li, & Sven Johannsen joined me to discuss the 2018 year in tech and a little bit of looking forward to 2019.
2018 tech memories
- Splintering of streaming video services: Star Trek Discovery only on CBS All Access, Titans only on DC Universe, Cloak and Dagger only on Hulu, etc.
- Crash of the crypto market, return of sane video card prices.
- 2018 the end of the x86 only windows world? Again
- Isn’t this every year? — Year of the hack/cyberattack/databreach
- And??? — Death of Net Neutrality
- Year of the tablet/2-in-1 PC but they mostly all are terrible
- 2018 wasn’t facebook’s year. What’s your favorite facebook scandal from 2018?
- Jack jumped to the “dark side†…from Windows Phone to Samsung Galaxy Note 9
- Android Camera Night Sight for Pixel
- Google Fi – a cell service as it should be (except the data price)
- Sven – Surface headphones
- Netflix/Blackmirror interactive movie
A few interesting recent gadgets
