  • This week on Tech’s Message:

    It’s a brave new world today — Ian is hosting solo! Only once before has Nate not featured on an episode of Tech’s Message, and that was many years ago when occasional guest host Andrew Lanxon read out some headlines. This time, it’s all Ian, and it’s a full-length show.

    Ian goes in depth to review the Sky Glass system, explaining some of the challenges involved in the initial delivery and black level let-downs, as well as of course the perks and advantages of using Sky’s all-in-one view of its televisual future.

    Also discussed, the EU confirms all gadgets must switch to USB-C by autumn 2024 – even the iPhone. But what does that mean for the UK?

    Assuming Nate doesn’t have Covid next week we’ll return then as normal.
