• Episode 175 - No Privacy Wonking Going On Here

  It’s an all new That Real Blind Tech Show. Allison, Brian, Ed, and Jeanine are back together with all their wackiness and latest tech news.   We start off with what else but President Trump, as Trump signed an executive order to make showers great again. Staying with politics, is it A.I. or A1? The Social Security Admin announced it will be moving all future communication with the press and the public to X.   We then discuss how much we love Innosearch.ai. And you can now call Innosearch.ai at 800-55-ShopGPT.   A company claimed to be using A.I. for all checkout on its site only to be exposed to actually be using no A.I. and actually using people.   Get ready for the accessibility of DoorDash to get even worse as they are now experimenting with robot delivery.   Apple hurriedly shipped 600 tons of iPhones to the U.S. A behind the scenes look at Apple tells us that the disaster of Siri has been a multi-year managerial massive car wreck.   Opera showcased the future of web browsing and if it is accessible, it sounds impressive. Which then leads us to discussing the new Guide thing which could be a thing or not a thing.   If you allow it, ChatGPT will now remember your conversation history.   Meta claims its new version of A.I. is less woke.   A recent survey finds that most Americans don’t trust A.I. or the people behind it.   We then dive in to some new products we have bought, including the must have sofa chair, the Starlight Zero Gravity Recliner. Allison is back in the Sonos ecosystem which then led to a conversation on what speakers we all have in our pads.   And it’s a very special much longer version then ever of What’s Pissing off Brian Now, and a normal size version of Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading.   To contact That Real Blind Tech Show, you can email us at [email protected], join our Facebook Group That Real Blind Tech Show, join us on the Twitter @BlindTechShow ,
