This week on the ÌÇÐÄVlog Podcast, William and Victor are back, talking about William's favorite keyboard, the rumored 17-inch MacBook Pro and whether or not it might get a new keyboard when the screen gets larger, Wi-Fi security risks, and the risk of speaking around an Amazon Echo device.
The Amazon Echo Dot is listening
editor and writer discuss:
- William reviews a keyboard that is largely unavailable to people - and has been promised to ship for a very long time.
- The prospect of a 16, 16.5-inch MacBook Pro in 2019, or a 17" model in 2021 - and Victor focuses on the keyboard.
- WPA3, the new version of Wi-Fi security, has vulnerabilities identified already, although it is more secure than WPA2.
- Amazon is said to have thousands of employees listening to what people say to Amazon Alexa devices. Victor thinks it's creepy.
- Victor cites a twitter user who identified an Illinois state bill that would have prevented Amazon and Google from remotely enabling the microphone on their devices - and the talking points that Google used to neuter the bill.
