55: Chosen By The Caching Fairy

from Technically Correct Podcast

Everyone loves the Internet. But what happens when it doesn’t go as planned? This week sees the hosts discussing Steam’s authentication glitches that occurred over the Christmas period, including bonus thoughts about two-factor authentication. This leads, somehow, to us thinking carefully about how many Things we want the Internet in. (Spoiler alert: it’s not as many as the industry seems to think). Finally, we round off with Mark discussing how he was cornered into going against all of his beliefs about the cloud. Needs must, as they say, but did it Just Work?
