Why Companies Make It Hard To Repair Your Devices ft. Louis Rossman

Tue, 16 Jul 2024 21:00:00 +0800

ColdFusion has had a request for a really long time to cover the topic - so what better way to do it than to make a video about it on the main channel and to speak to Louis Rossman - one of the most well known advocates of the movement!

Right to repair movement seeks to give consumers and independent shops the ability to repair their electronic devices. Louis owns Rossmann Repair Group in New York City, specializing in Apple product repairs and he gained fame through his YouTube channel, where he offers repair tutorials and critiques industry practices that limit consumer rights.

Is Cancel Culture Real? + Audio Exclusive! [Minisode]

Tue, 14 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0800

Dagogo is travelling this week - and for good reasons too. He recently got nominated with Coldfusion at the Septimus Awards for Best Content Creator for which he is in Europe at the moment.

And as such - there’s no new episodes this week. However, we knew there will be weeks like this, so we have a few pre-recorded minisodes where we discuss topics around the usual themes of tech, business and culture.

We have two minisodes on this one - one about the rise and fall of voice-based social media platforms and another one on cancel culture!

So sit back enjoy - and we will see you next week.

Luna 2.0 Madness, Google take on Dall-E 2, Elon Musk Sued by Twitter Shareholders, Recession, Delivery Drones and More

Tue, 31 May 2022 01:00:00 +0800

We are BACK with a full length episode this week - but with a bit of a twist.

As we get back to full health, we decided to record this virtually so the audio/video quality will suffer a bit but hopefully will be good enough for you to listen through the whole thing. This week, we talk about Do Kwon's possible prosecution, Imagen vs. Dall-E2, weekly Elon Updates, if "recession is a good thing", and answer some really cool questions from you all.

Enjoy the episode!

FAANG commonly refers to the five most popular and best-performing American technology companies: Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google.

Over the last few decades, these companies have skyrocketed in their value and influence - but the last two years have started to show some cracks.

Is this the end of FAANG era?

Dagogo and Tawsif discuss in this minisode.
