We talk Windows, smart home, music tech, vintage tech, EVs and lots more.

Welcome to this week's podcast! Garry is back, and we're diving into the highlights of the Microsoft event from last week. Our conversation centres around the perceived lack of innovation from the Surface team and the confusion Microsoft has introduced with the release of 23H2 and the upcoming features this year.

In this episode, we speculate on Panos Panay's potential move to Amazon and Garry shares insights into Amazon's latest smart home devices. Additionally, we unpack the details of the new Windows 11 builds and discuss the recent changes to the UK government's EV rules.

Tune in for a deep dive into the tech world and stay up-to-date with the latest developments!

Welcome to this week’s podcast! This week on the show we are joined by Sound on Sound co-founder and organiser of SynthFest. SynthFest takes place next month (October 7th) in Sheffield and was created by Sound on Sound magazine for music tech companies to showcase their synths and tech to the public. It’s a full day out with sessions, hands on and retailers. There are keyboards, desktop and modular synths and it’s a great meetup for the synth community.

Paul explains what the show is all about and what’s you will be able to see. We talk about some of the live seminars happening at the show and the Sound on Sound magazine.
