TechTime with Nathan Mumm

Can former President Donald J. Trump really stop all electric car sales if re-elected? Join us on Tech Time Radio with Nathan Mumm as we scrutinize this audacious claim, picking apart its feasibility and implications for the automotive industry. We also dive into the wacky world of AI mishaps, including Google’s strange and humorous errors like suggesting non-toxic glue on pizza and advising people to eat one rock per day. Our discussion takes a serious turn when we analyze Hollywood's alarming slump in Memorial Day weekend box office revenue, the lowest in almost three decades, and ponder what this means for the future of cinema.
We're thrilled to welcome Nick Espinosa, our cybersecurity expert, who sheds light on the dark corners of cybercrime, AI takeovers, and data breaches. He offers indispensable advice on safeguarding your digital life in these perilous times. Meanwhile, we scrutinize the controversial new Recall feature in Windows 11, which captures screenshots of users' activities every few seconds, spurring significant privacy and security concerns. The conversation also touches on Tesla's autonomous driving technology, recounting a near-miss with a train, and Google's new AI features, raising questions about the reliability and safety of these advanced technologies.
Amidst the tech talk, we take a nostalgic trip down memory lane celebrating National Hamburger Day, reminiscing about Bill Gates' 1995 proclamation on the Internet, and even the quirky Hamburglar. And, of course, we wouldn't be TechTime Radio without our whiskey tastings. This episode features a detailed review of Michter's Bomberger's Declaration Small Batch 2023 Kentucky straight bourbon, rich with notes of fruit, spice, and a complex finish from Marc Gregoire.
