  • Join Sam Bushman and Jay Harrison as they dive into the murky waters of tech vulnerabilities and future innovations. From the FBI’s alarming warning about SMS security breaches tied to Chinese hacking group "Salt Typhoon" to the larger debate on outdated messaging systems, they explore why Apple and Android’s lack of collaboration leaves users in the crossfire. Are encrypted apps like Telegram and Signal the answer, or is a complete overhaul of telecom messaging overdue?

While promising economic rejuvenation with thousands of construction jobs and a push toward advanced AI, the hosts question the long-term impact on local communities and the environment. Wrapping up with the end of copper phone lines by 2030, they ponder the future of rural connectivity and what it means for the digitally underserved. Stay tuned for insights, tech trends, and a touch of skepticism!
