The IT Privacy and Security Weekly Update Feeling Good for the week Ending January 2nd. 2024

Episode 172
This week we focus on our amazing kids. From the effect the phone we send them off with “to keep them safe” has, to an amazing 13 year old crushing a 34 year old arcade game. We even end with advice from a Nobel prize winner about what you might not want to study.
From, the kids, we turn to Apple and what is going on between them and the world’s biggest democracy. We then follow Apple to a researcher who thinks he has found the perfect way to keep Apple Air tags from being used for tracking people.
We get an update on the failure of the open source GPL (General Public License) and what one key figure thinks could replace it.
The Google gets some bad news as it is denied a request to have a court case thrown out and then some great news on the safety record of it’s Waymo subsidiary.
It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day it’s a new life… and we’re feeling good!
