The Device Casting Couch (Tech Podcast)
Nuclear Battery | EU vs Apple | Firefox Cuts & AI | YouTube Ad Overload And More! - S01E34

💬 Show Notes In this tech-packed episode of The Device Casting Couch, Ryan and John return from a hiatus with a treasure trove of topics, from the groundbreaking to the downright concerning. They kick off with a deep dive into the promise of portable nuclear batteries, exploring BetaVolt Technologies' claim of a 50-year charge from a hand-held device. But is it safe, or is it too good to be true? The duo also touches on a myriad of quickfire stories, from Express VPN's DNS leak debacle to the DOJ's secret mission against Russian malware in routers. They even debunk the viral myth of toothbrushes turned DDoS attackers and share their skepticism about the utility of "smart" everything in our homes. So, whether you're tech-curious or a seasoned pro, tune in for a whirlwind update on the latest in tech, served with a side of critical insight and a sprinkle of humor. Don't miss this episode of The Device Casting Couch—where tech gets real, and nothing is off-limits.
