Ian: "We experienced the “Biggest IT outage” in history this weekend, caused by software developer, CrowdStrike. I go over who was impacted by this, how it happened, how it could have been avoided and how it will, most likely, happen again. Scammers are already taking advantage of the CrowdStrike outage and I give tips on what to look out for to avoid that. Finally, I’ll go over some new flying car technology, getting us closer to the Jetsons! And a new form of “identity theft” involving stealing someone’s phone number to gain access to their accounts."

I review Microsoft's automatic OneDrive backup setting in new Windows 11 devices and its implications for user privacy. Additionally, I discuss into the futuristic potential and fun uses of augmented reality coming to our cars, making directions feel like sci-fi and dynamically labeling businesses and landmarks as you drive.
