Description:

For this first podcast of 2025, Jon Westfall and I are joined by frequent guest panelists Sven Johannsen and Don Sorcinelli. In this podcast we:

  • Asked where AI Is as we start 2025:
  • Where is the "smart" Apple Siri?
  • When will Microsoft Recall for the Copilot + PCs be released to production
  • Why can't LLMs spell words even when we tell them exactly the words are
  • What's the deal with LLMs training LLMS?
  • Then, we discussed what we want in 2025:
  • Todd: Folding iPad or Pixel Tablet, an actual 2nd generation Pixel tablet, USB-C cables with marking to indicate power and data capabilities
  • Sven: Equipment manufacturers to put QR code leading to manual on device
  • Don: Less “Move fast and break things” mentality, Anything actually innovative
  • Jon: Apple Watch Ultra 3 or Series 11 with new biometric sensors (Blood Glucose? Blood Pressure?)
  • And of course, we had a couple of rants:
  • Sven: Why do Cell companies hate their customers? Dell XPS 16 wouldn’t support Chrome OS Flex (WiFi wouldn’t work)
  • Jon: A fix to a rant - use FaxZero service to fax customer service requests to make use of the "Fax Loophole" - companies actually respond to detailed requests via fax
  • We also mentioned a couple of new recent toys:
  • Todd: AGEEN  13-Port USB C Hub for iMac 24 inch that fits perfectly under a 2024 M4 Mac mini without blocking the vents on the bottom of the chassis. Includes NVMe slot for M.2 SSD
  • Sven: DJI Mini 4 Pro, SODI Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad - Foldable & Bluetooth
  • Don: A self-stirring coffee mug
  • Jon: Backbone One;  Apple Titanium Milenese loop watch band. Appreciating the Apple Silicon battery life
