Listen "Remote Controls"
Episode Synopsis
Tonight on GeekNights, we consider the humble remote control. We are some of the youngest people who remember having screens and other devices without remote controls, and they changed things in more ways than you might have expected. In the news, Apple is going after Itch.io in its ongoing fight with Epic, Steam rejects some games but not others without clear rules, Facebook rejects adaptive clothing ads, Microsoft changes its old icons, and a major US fuel pipeline was shut down by ransomware.Related LinksForum ThreadGeekNights Monday - Remote ControlsThings of the DayRym - DMX Meets David BowieScott - Theme Park Brochures
