TEKTOK Show Notes

Episode #: 64

Date: 06/10/19

Hosts: Jerry Goldbaum, Dan Sagner, Ken Cooper & Clay Russell

TEK Topics

Jerry: Apple as a monopoly 

Do you think there is any merit to the Supreme Court ruling to allow people to having “standing” to sue Apple? 

Dan: "Ethical" Hacking for Vulnerability Protection

Blue Keep is a new worm infecting Windows RDP systems

It would be possible for an "ethical" hacker to gain access to these systems and patch them

Should this be allowed?  Should only companies/law enforcement be allowed to do it?

What do you think of the hackers that have done this in the past?

Ken: Censorship (of hate speech, false information, violence) on tech platforms

Apple Podcasts, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube—all seem to handle this issue differently

Should they remove it?

Should they counter it?

Do nothing?

[insert your utopian solution here]

Clay: iPadOS

Was this the right move for iOS?

Are you concerned that the iPhone or even the Mac will take a back seat to the iPad when it comes to development priorities?

Sweet & Sour TEK

Jerry: TunnelBear VPN & Wifi Proxy

Dan: Audacity

Ken: my iPad mini 5 (soon with iPadOS & Sidecar)

Clay: Really Bad Chess
