What this episode covers
This week Chris and Rod have follow up on UK MPs telling the NHS to start planning an exit strategy from Palantir ahead of a 2027 contract break, Apple losing its legal fight in Europe over the App Store's "gatekeeper" label, and Microsoft warning that AI development is going to make upcoming Patch Tuesdays significantly busier. We also discuss Meta pulling a controversial privacy feature from its smart glasses. In the news, data centres now consume nearly a quarter of Ireland's total electricity supply, an automated AI job-hunting tool handles everything from finding vacancies to customising cover letters, and we pay tribute to Psion founder David Potter who passed away at 82. Plus, nuclear-grade drama drops as Apple sues OpenAI, accusing former hardware executives and engineers of stealing unreleased iPhone and Apple Watch trade secrets to jumpstart OpenAI's hardware business. The main show tackles the UK government's plans to force platforms like YouTube and TikTok to give established media outlets greater prominence to combat misinformation, and a weird networking bug plaguing the new UniFi Travel Router.
