What this episode covers
This week Chris and Rod have follow up on Adobe modifying user hosts files for their own analytics, Google making it easier to deepfake yourself via YouTube Shorts, and Microsoft starting to remove unnecessary Copilot buttons from Windows 11. We also look at the arrival of podcast transcripts in Overcast and why NHS staff are resisting the move to Palantir software. In the news, France has launched a plan to exit Windows in favour of a government Linux desktop, a hacker has managed to get Mac OS X running on a Wii, and the Artemis II crew are facing the same Outlook issues as the rest of us. We also discuss a major security breach involving a Meta employee, a curious macOS Tahoe bug that causes crashes after 49 days, and why some Mac models are currently completely out of stock. The main show celebrates Apple at 50 by looking back at the tech we miss, from the polish of Snow Leopard and the pulsating sleep lights to the era of see-through logos and replaceable batteries with built-in charge indicators.
