Ep 21 - Donating socks to Satanists

  • February 1st 2018

Applied futurist, tech commentator, author, and all round nice guy Tom Cheesewright joins the team on our first pod of 2018. Don’t worry, this isn’t another Meltdown/Spectre winge session, no no, the team are back to their familiar ‘whipping boy’ as they assess yet another failure by Facebook to protect its users.

 

There’s also stats on ‘customer satisfaction’ for charities, Socks for Satan, contactless pay points from Goodbox and a jolly little security drone from Japan. Well, Greg thinks it’s jolly.
