We live in a world of digital rent where FOMO about the latest IAP, streaming service or text-to-video generation tool is already creating a constant pressure on incomes. Is Fortnite’s return to the Apple ecosystem a victory for the little guy or a different landlord collecting rent we already pay?



At the same time Netflix bucks trends by charging users and subjecting them to ads. And Google launches a US$250 a month service that could deliver on its financially exorbitant promise. 



And where does that leave financially pressured consumers battling a cost of living crisis in the middle of a global trade war. And why does anyone think that Matt and Rich could possibly have those answers?

A little over 100 years ago electric vehicles were everywhere. They outsold petrol machines, were faster, cleaner and more reliable. And then, in the space of a few years, they went away generations.



Rich and Matt look at this remarkable rise and fall and ask if the continued rise of the EV in the 21st Century EV is inevitable and unstoppable? Or if it could become a historical footnote? Again. 



And how could the ideological battle over the engines in our cars shape the geopolitical and technological innovation centres of the future?

Microsoft’s Cyber Signals report suggests that the company blocks about 1.6 million bot signup attempts per hour, and has already stopped over $4 billion in fraud in just a span of a year. To fight fire with fire, the company is also rolling out new tools, from digital fingerprinting to typo protection in Microsoft Edge, and plan to evolve their large-scale AI detection systems. But, are these tools adequate enough to protect consumers from AI-assisted scams and overall, what does all this mean for the everyday internet user?

Can AI Tools Really Stop Online Scams?

Cool don’t pay the bills. Unless you’re Richard Bradbury and Matt Armitage. After slapping themselves on the back for tapping into a Gen X zeitgeist trend – a level of self-satisfaction that only two Gen X males would consider socially acceptable  – the pair looks at a recent LinkedIn report that exposes the risks that AI poses to young graduates and the entry level positions they depend on.



What lessons are there for Gen Z in the midlife career meltdowns of the slacker generation? And how do you achieve financial security, wealth accumulation, stability, mobility and health in a world without solid foundations? 



And why should anyone take the word of two old geezers who congratulate themselves for successfully scanning a QR code?
