111 1hr Special: "It's All Madness" with James Coffin

111 1hr Special: "It's All Madness" with James Coffin

Tonight on CEP! Economist and IT bureaucrat James Coffin joins us for a one-hour special. We react to articles and expose some of the hypocrisy and outright madness going on in the realm of our government's environmental policies - LEARN how they incentivize tech companies to make garbage, by reimbursing them for recycling their own products!

  • Reading an email from an Apple impostor
  • Surprise-attack deprecation - how the industry randomly removes useful features your organization relies on.
  • "I haven't seen any artificial intelligence that's intelligent."
  • The vocabulary of IT: How the industry creates new terms willy-nilly, and people (and AI) are expected to keep up with it.
  • WD was caught in a bait-and-switch, inserting slower chips in their products without notice
  • The complex 14,000-mile supply chain scattered across the globe
  • Linux is now usable on newer M-chip Apple computers: How that will lead to the liberation of many Apple computers, but also iPhones and iPads as well
  • An exploit in Apple Pay, how Visa was right to avoid overreacting, and our discussion on how wireless payments in general are massive security hole!
  • Canon being sued for making multi-function printers that refuse to scan whenever they're out of ink!
  • CA's sequel to Cash for Clunkers - and the adverse effects that they didn't bother to consider, that will harm the poor and the environment
  • "If you actually care about the environment, stop making laws and start actually doing something!"
  • How CloseTheLoop.com helps curb the ewaste nonsense
  • Discussing Aaron Clarey's video "Why are corporations even in business?" and how offshoring in the 1980s sparked the cheapening of products
