Techstream with Shelly Palmer and Seth Everett

Shelly talks about the pros and cons of various online storage solutions – and how he uses the ones he finds most valuable – as well as proper data separation and storage and the tools that have helped him upskill and improve both his productivity and data storage.

Welcome to Techstream, the official podcast of Twitter. (A joke, but only sort of.) We run through the size of every social media network and look at competitors (like Mastodon) and whether or not they’re Twitter replacements – or if they’ll even make sense (or hold value).

There’s the collapse of FTX, which (if you haven’t been following the tech trades) is more like Enron than WeWork: overnight… it was just gone. We talk about what happened, how it happened, and what happens next. Seth asks if we’ll ever cover a crypto story that’s positive.

Is Twitter going away? We’ve asked that question about TikTok a number of times on this podcast, but now the question pivots to Elon Musk’s new company.

And just like that… “the bird is freed.” After months of debate and speculation, Elon Musk has officially taken control of Twitter. We wonder… is Twitter still a thing?

We’re kicking off a two-part Techstream mini-series about the state of electric vehicles (EVs). We talk about utility companies incentivizing EV owners to get chargers installed, EVs as a “lifestyle choice,” and what’s being done to quell range anxiety.

We talk about the ways technology is bleeding into elections and political races. Then, we discuss the Supreme Court case determining “fair use” and Prince’s likeness. We talk about what’s at stake and how technology will need to change or adapt based on the outcome.

Local news has been a television staple for many viewers for years. Do they have any need to exist in 2022? That’s the topic of today’s episode.

Shelly and Seth are both under the weather, so we’re using deep fake technology to record this episode for you. (Just kidding. Kind of.) Shelly quizzes Seth on whether or not he’s been keeping up with his metaverse homework.
