Episode Synopsis
Introduction:
In today’s episode, we explore critical developments shaping technology and security. First, archivists at Cambridge University are racing against time to rescue invaluable historical data from deteriorating floppy disks, including Stephen Hawking’s lectures and personal letters, highlighting the fragility of our recent digital history. Next, we examine BlackRock’s strategic pivot as investors shift focus from broad technology sectors to specialized AI and blockchain ETFs, with some funds surging nearly 89%. Then, we discuss Govini, a defense tech startup that has surpassed $100 million in recurring revenue by modernizing Pentagon acquisitions through a software-as-a-service model, signaling a new era in defense innovation. We also analyze the looming end of Windows 10 support on October 14, 2025, which could render millions of PCs obsolete, creating significant security risks and a surge in electronic waste, while sparking a new market for security-as-a-service solutions under evolving EU regulations. Finally, we cover China’s surprise antitrust investigation into Qualcomm’s acquisition of Autotalks, a move that intensifies U.S.-China tech tensions and impacts the global race for connected-car technology dominance.
