Episode 28: Shining Again

Shiny Podcast — Mon, 06 Aug 2018 00:00:00 -0400

We are back! After a caaaaaRAZY month where we needed to find our heads and do some soul searching we jump right back into the shady, the shiny, and everywhere in between. This week we cover Google's notch law, Google does some evil, Apple does some good, and Windows throws everyone a bag of wrenches.

And the Lord sayeth unto the people, there shall be 2 notches. 1 more than 1 but 1 less than 3. Much less than 4 or 5, the number of notches on thy phones shall be 2:

Episode 27: Geek Done Quick

Shiny Podcast — Mon, 02 Jul 2018 00:00:00 -0400

There's no splitting hairs here: we had to take a breather last week because the news was just so bleak in the tech world we couldn't bring ourselves to do an episode on it. This week we're back with a very quick overview of that news and then immediately a pickmeup from our dear friend John Grandi who swoops in to save us. We talk a lot about Games Done Quick and E3 and if you want more in depth analysis of the bad stuff we've included the links below.

Theme of the week: Long live the monopoly and a big ol’ middle finger to net neutrality:

Episode 24: Fallout Fallout

Shiny Podcast — Mon, 04 Jun 2018 00:00:00 -0400

You know what makes recording a podcast even more fun? Recording it in the same room as your co-host and and not having to rely on the internet to properly carry your voice and connect you. That's right, Christopher made the trip down to Colin's abode for this week's episode of Shiny Podcast and cover such topics as the beginning stages of GDPR, Telegram troubles, Tor coming to Firefox, a deep dive on the Fallout 76 announcement, and more!

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.

Tiny Shiny: Into the Woods

We hit on a few topics like Colin's new computer build, Christopher's a little sore about software, and a new rumor around CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077!

Shiny Podcast — Wed, 04 Apr 2018 00:00:00 -0400

We went back to the drawing board on the title of these shorter episodes and like a blinding light bulb smacking us in the face we arrived at Tiny Shiny. Like, duh, guys. This week we spend some time with MyFitness Pal, AMD's recent news of vulnerabilities on their CPU's, Google's continuing battle with Oracle, and more! And then we (mostly) go rapid fire on some other interesting tidbits.

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!
