1109: A Landmark Shift in Tech Design

A heavy hitter this week focusing on a landmark legal ruling that could fundamentally change how apps in your pocket are designed. It’s the Google/Meta "Addictive by Design" verdict. We look at why the jury targeted features like infinite scroll and autoplay and what this means for the future of notifications. We’re also diving into a massive security breakthrough involving the Criminal Assets Bureau and a lost fortune in Bitcoin, before chatting with Sean McCarthy about an AI phone assistant that sounds so naturally Irish, it’s almost uncanny. From the 20th anniversary of Twitter to Alexa’s new "sassy" personality (yes, she can swear now), there’s plenty to share with you!
