Summary: For the first episode of 2021, Technado welcomed ACI Learning’s Brett Shively who talked about the state of adult learning and the recent merger with ITProTV. Then, the team discussed how some tech businesses are evolving by exiting Silicon Valley and even taking over shopping malls. In the news, they looked at Slack starting the year with an outage, Brexit’s mention of Netscape and Mozilla Mail, Linus Torvalds rant about Intel and ECC, Dell’s new automated webcam shutter, and a team that turned RAM into Wi-Fi cards to exfiltrate data from air-gapped systems. Finally, they put on their tinfoil hats and looked at a schematic for a 5G chip in vaccines that was really just a guitar pedal.
