Letting yourself believe good things are still possible (S4) S52:E7

This Season 4 year finale of The JMOR Tech Talk Show unpacks how tech power plays are reshaping everyday life—from South Korea forcing SK Telecom to put real cash behind its data breach victims and the U.S. carving TikTok into an Oracle‑led JV, to regulators squeezing Shein, Instacart and Apple over unsafe goods, dark patterns and commissions. AI shows up everywhere, powering sophisticated phishing against Russian defense targets, “clone” fashion models at Zara, fraud‑spotting at UPS, license‑plate dragnets from Flock and even the hottest new kids’ toys that quietly listen and learn. Above our heads, a failed Starlink adds to the growing space junk problem, while Europe turns rivers and seas into giant clean‑energy radiators and criminals turn ATMs into malware‑driven “jackpots,” all against a backdrop of RAM shortages and alleged kickbacks that help explain why your next upgrade is getting more expensive.
