The Point Tech Podcast

Hello! Welcome back. We start the year off with an episode about Data Privacy. Something that's being talked about a lot, yet no one knows what to do with it, or how to enhance their digital privacy. I stumbled upon this topic a few days back and I had to make an episode about it. I feel that each and every individual must know how to protect their data online, because a lot of us don't even know how much data is being collected daily. I also mention some ways you can improve your privacy online and since I couldn't put in a lot, here's the book I was talking about. I highly recommend you check it out, because this is where I learnt all of what I've said in this episode. https://advaitsangle.com/privacy-museum/ Stay tuned for more episodes later!!

You might have heard the word Metaverse being tossed around quite frequently. Facebook has changed its name to Meta, because they're creating the Metaverse. But a lot of people don't know what it actually means. In the first part of this 2 part series, we discuss what the Metaverse is, and how it holds the potential to change the lives of people, in good ways and bad. This will have a significant impact on everyone's life, and today we discuss how that'll happen.

This week's episode of the Point Tech Podcast was a little different. We tried to give context to the numbers in a spec sheet that we spoke about, so that the message we're trying to convey with those numbers becomes easy to understand. We spoke about the new Nintendo Switch OLED edition, and how even though it's getting a lot of hate, it isn't that bad of a device. The highlight of this week's episode was the Sony Xperia 1 iii, where we spoke about the specifications of the phone, but with a different twist to it. And last, but not the least, everyone's favorite segment, InfoSnips had the Google Antitrust case and the Virtual RAM that has been released by Xiaomi and Vivo by a software update.
