Episode 22: GDPRRRRrrrrrrnghh

Shiny Podcast — Mon, 21 May 2018 00:00:00 -0400

This week's Tiny Shiny actually lives up to it's name as we keep it simple with a heavily edited report on net neutrality vote and a look into GDPR, the General Data Protection Regulation, a bill...no, sorry, law slated to go into effect May 25th. We also pathetically attempt to thank some of our German listeners and giggle a lot.

Episode 17: Half Life 3: Unconfirmed

Shiny Podcast — Wed, 14 Mar 2018 10:00:00 -0400

Folks, I'm just going to say it: this episode is long. We opted for a longer news segment and no deep dive because there was a lot to cover but we've got some awesome things to talk about. Microsoft hates recycling, Disney hates movie rentals, you should definitely hate Facebook's VPN, Twitter bots, and more!

Microsoft seeks damages against e’waste recycler Eric Lundgren:

This is kind of a miserable week and please don't ask about episode 5. It doesn't exist and you can't convince us otherwise. Anyways we tackle such subjects as loot boxes, just how much the FCC doesn't care about being as evil as possible, Equifax continued incompetence, the demise of the Windows phone, and more!
