Tech Overlords

Kurt is back! Nathanael is gone again! .... Lately it seems we can't get everyone together at the same time. Next week I think we will all be here though. It's looking like Kurt will be able to fit us into his busy schedule again so we should have him on the show regularly again as well.   Kurt tells us about the classes he's been taking for solar technology. Some of Tesla's solar tech isn't as good as you might have thought it was compared to what else is out there.   There is a controversial law that can allow a person to be charged with someone that isn't a crime if they can prove you were using it to engage in criminal activity.   The Jester is back at it again! This time taking down a Russian website in retaliation to the DNC hack as well as the recent DDoS attack on Dyn.   It's interesting how old tech doesn't really come up in value very much like an antique of other varieties would. Most old computers might come up in price a little bit but not to crazy amounts of money for what yo

We're back and we have Kurt! At least for a little while. He's been busy learning new solar tech.

If you're in the USA your internet is probably not as fast as it should be, especially in comparison to a lot of the world. Some good news though, it has gotten a lot faster on average since last year! Comcast thinks that you should be charged a premium for privacy... what? AT&T actually already charges a large fee for "privacy". There is a family that happens to live almost in the middle of the country. They have been victim to their house being the default location for IP mapping. When the origin of an IP cannot be accurately located beyond the country of origin, their location happens to be where it points to. They have had many unwanted visits from government officials, doxxers, scammers, and so on. Do you like Windows? I think the answer is becoming more and more no. Microsoft has been doing many things that aren't so nice recently. Windows 10 anniversary update removes the ability to disable Cortana. Some things in Group Policy Editor can no longer be disabled as well as in the registry, among many

Welcome to episode 9 of this little thing we like to do.   We have a great episode for you guys this week!   I talk about deploying surveillance cameras at my house. It's the first time I have messed with anything like that. David and myself are planning on messing with Kali Linux and possibly doing a bonus podcast discussing what we've learned. We aren't very experienced in that area. We're looking forward to expanding our knowledge base. Kurt talks a bit more about his work in the movie theater industry as well as his future plans now that he has moved on from there. Did you know that VHS is still a thing? I didn't. Apparently the last company to make them has finally closed it's doors. You soon may be able to get a Tron style bicycle with some pretty interesting features, but with a pretty steep price tag. There's a lot of very interesting things on the horizon coming from Elon Musk at Tesla. We're very interested in seeing what comes of his new factory and how the second part of his "master plan

Spoiler Alert!   This is our first Spoilercast. I recommend you do not listen to this show until after you have seen the movie, or if you don't care to have some things spoiled for you.   Kurt, Nathanael, and myself all went to Spokane, WA last weekend to see Star Trek Beyond in an AMC Dolby Cinema.   This was Nathanael and my first time seeing a movie in a Dolby Cinema so we talk a bit about our experience with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos before we get into discussing the movie.    Subscribe and leave us a review on iTunes  Like us on facebook.com/techoverlordspodcast  Follow us on Twitter @tekoverlords  Email us at info@techoverlords.com  

Welcome to another episode of Tech Overlords Podcast!   We have a fourth Tech Overlord in the studio today. Welcome David to the show! If you guys enjoyed him being on the show maybe we'll keep him around, maybe...   In today's episode we talk about the new Star Trek series coming to CBS. Kurt, Nathanael, and myself will be seeing Star Trek: Beyond. We will be releasing an extra episode on Monday the 25th. It will be a Spoilercast for the movie. If you haven't seen the movie when it releases I recommend not listening to it yet as it will contain heavy spoilers. We will still be doing our regular show the following Friday. Kurt and myself binge watched Strange Things, we talk a bit about that. Dark Matter season 2 is here and it's getting really good. The FBI claims their hacking tools shouldn't be considered Malware. Malvertising and Ransomware rising dramatically. New critical iPhone vulnerability via MMS message with no user interaction required. Edward Snowden working on hardware to detect if you

Hey everyone! Thanks for joining us for yet another episode of Tech Overlords Podcast. This was not a typical episode this week. We didn't really touch on much news. We just hung out and chatted about random stuff, I hope you like it!   We talk a bunch about movies, TV shows, and the movie theater industry. Kurt also shares some stories from his days working at Dolby Digital.   We did cover a little bit of news from the past week.   Pokemon Go is becoming a problem! I'm sure you guys are tired of hearing about it like we are so this is probably the last time we will mention it. Tesla is in muddy waters due to multiple car crashes recently which happened while their Autopilot feature was enabled. Who's responsible?  Netflix on plays content in 1080p in Microsoft Edge but not other browsers, and no one really knows why? CBS/Paramount says they are happy to see Star Trek fan films, however their new guidelines seem to contradict that. Visiting a website or sharing a password can be consi

We're here.....    Welcome back to another episode of Tech Overlords podcast! So much to talk about this week. We didn't even end up covering it all as in depth as we would like.    Nvidia announces the GTX 1060.  There's a memory controversy with AMD's RX 480. Flash back to GTX 970 release, but with a bigger twist.  New malware targeting OSX.  Microsoft is of course, doing more Microsoft things.  4K Blurays are starting to show up on the market.  And Apparently 3D printing is dead, according to one uninformed person.    All that and much more on this weeks episode!    Subscribe and leave us a review on iTunes  Like us on facebook.com/techoverlordspodcast  Follow us on Twitter @tekoverlords  Email us at info@techoverlords.com        

Kurt is back!   He doesn't seem to think he is needed on the show after listening to last episode when he wasn't on, but we do! He was missed last episode so we are glad that he's back.   We have a great episode this week.   The AMD RX 480 is officially out and in the hands of reviewers and consumers. Some interesting results have been coming in pertaining to it's performance A man claims he invented the iPhone in 1992 and has filed a lawsuit against Apple. Good luck with that. A woman won a lawsuit against Microsoft over a Windows 10 upgrade on her computer. And conveniently about the same time Microsoft has removed some of it's aggressive Windows 10 upgrade tactics, but not really that much. There's an interesting new show coming to HBO called Westworld. We also discuss a little bit of home theater and home automation related topics.     Leave us a review on iTunes or leave us a comment under the show notes at techoverlords.com.     If you would like to contact us dir

Episode 4 has arrived!   We're back at it again with another episode! Unfortunately Kurt couldn't make it so it's just me and Nathanael. Kurt should be back for the next episode.   With the location change of our recording situation and not being sure on what day we want to record Kurt had made other plans. I think we have it all hammered out now so things should be much more consistent in the future.   It was kind of a slow week for tech news considering we're just coming off of Computex and got a flood of awesome new stuff coming out.   We talk some about the AMD RX480 that will be coming out very soon! New Star Trek bridge simulator game! I may have to get a VR headset just for that. The GTX 970, 980, and 980Ti may be a hard sell now with the GTX 1070 being so comparable in performance to the 980Ti at a much nicer price point. We've been watching a lot of great movies lately. It feels like there's almost an epidemic of sequels or remakes of movies that were already great. Not that I don
