Tech Trend 247

On this week’s episode of MashTalk, Lance, Pete and I tackle the phenomenon that is Pokémon Go (00:50). In a wide-ranging chat, we talk about everything from the growing Pokemon Go economy (04:30), the user experience (09:05) and why Pokémon Go works (11:45). 

Lance shares his take on how the craze will end (17:51), because nothing gold – or Pokémon Yellow – can really stay. 

We share a few thoughts on Prisma (20:00) – the filter app taking over the globe – and discuss how the success of Pokémon Go and Prisma disprove the idea that apps are dead. 

Moving on, Pete breaks down the latest Tesla news (22:50), including the calls from Consumer Reports to rename Autopilot. Note: We recorded this episode before the latest news broke about the Model X rollover crash. There’s always next week. 

Finally, Lance helps shed some light on the major drama happening at Hyperloop One (34:15). And seriously, this Hyperloop One saga is full of twists and turns.

On this week’s MashTalk, Lance, Christina and Pete are back talking about all the stuff happening in work this week.

We start out with a “hella good” discussion about Microsoft’s terrible recruitment email (0:20). Seriously, can brands stop saying bae already?

We move into a broad discussion about Snapchat Memories (2:32), one of the biggest changes to hit Snapchat in the history of the platform. We spend some time discussing what this feature could mean for helping the platform expand (especially amongst olds). If you want to know how to use Snapchat Memories – Mashable has guide for that too.

After talking about Snapchat, we segue into a discussion about Tesla and autopilot (15:50). There have been a few incidents concerning autopilot. Pete and Lance discuss what this means for the future of driverless cars and regulation.

Moving on, the we discuss the latest hoverboard recall (29:40), which conveniently happened just as Swagway released a new Swagtron, which has certification. The new Swagtron isn’t banned – but you probably won’t be able to ride it on the street anyway. Lance still loves his. 

If you bought a hoverboard that was recalled, we talk about what you need to do now (34:34).

The show wraps up talking about the public betas for iOS 10 and macOS Sierra (42:10). I'm running the beta on some of my devices and Lance is committed to installing it on one of his phones. Pete... Pete’s going to wait. But there is a discussion of some of the big features coming to both platforms.

In this episode of MashTalk, Lance, Pete and I do a deep dive on WWDC and everything Apple announced.

We start off offering our take on the keynote (0:30) and the tenor of Apple announcements. 

First up is iOS 10 (8:30) and the impact the new changes coming to Messages on the platform. We spend a lot of time on Messages before moving into a discussion on differential privacy (21:25) and whether that can ever offer as good of a predictive experience as services that track you more (Google, Facebook). 

We shift on to talk about the new Home app (29:42) and whether Apple can really make HomeKit a thing. Pete goes on a fun tirade about his propane tank. We have a brief discussion about how you can "delete" pre-installed apps (35:15) and Apple Music (37:00). 

We move on to the renamed macOS (38:12) and Siri coming to Mac. We round out the discussion to talk about the new look on watchOS 3 (44:35) and the changes coming to its Health and Activity apps. Finally, we finish off with tvOS (49:15) and the fact that Single Sign-on is coming to Apple TV.
