Do we have a Right To Repair for Data & IP?
September 03, 2021 21:07 - 50 minutes - 46.2 MBRight to Repair is the idea that when you buy a product, you're able to fix it. We've been building products lately that don't have that inherent part of the contract. In this episode, we really took Right to Repair to another level talking about Intellectual Property (IP) and ownership of that IP in the software components. This topic impacts every single business and every single consumer! Transcript: https://otter.ai/u/7EVT0C9T0KDCcUIWBsGYKHdiT6Y Photo: Photo by Blue Bird from Pexels ...
Designing for 5G And Digital Twins
September 03, 2021 20:52 - 51 minutes - 47.1 MBWe talked about 5G, factories and edge infrastructure. They are very interconnected because they live at the network edge and are sensitive to how we need to route traffic. This is important as the basis for using digital twinning as a new user experience (UI/UX) around interacting with systems. This new approach is starting to emerge and it will be very network intensive, visually oriented, and involve overlaying the physical world with the virtual world. How the heck are we going to co...
Terraform Usage Patterns (Gitops, IaC, Templates)

And what would it look like if we were creating certification programs, real certification programs, like we have in other trades? Transcript: https://otter...
Is Open Source Working?
August 20, 2021 21:35 - 52 minutes - 48.3 MBIs open source driving innovation? And Is it a necessary component of Right to Repair and ownership?

Software Right to Repair? Is that OSS?
July 31, 2021 22:47 - 58 minutes - 53.2 MBThe "right to repair" is a really thorny and political issue! We talked a lot about John Deere, Apple and Tesla not letting people fix the products they've bought from those companies. We have a lot of questions! Why they do that? What the challenges are with RTR? How we could avoid them? What pressures keep us coming back to companies that are offering goods that we don't have the ability to repair?
