Alex talks Apple, AI, scams and more on the Chris Smith Show - Nov 29, 2023, TNTRadio.live

Thanks for watching and listening to not only TNTRadio.live, but also the excellent Chris Smith Show, which is on 3pm to 5pm AEDT every weekday. You can watch via https://www.youtube.com/@tntradiolive - it is also live streamed at TNTRadio.live, and at www.x.com/tntradiolive. Here is my weekly segment on the Chris Smith Show, on 29 November, 2023.

Full details of all these stories can be found at www.techadvice.life, but here are the headlines of what we spoke about:

1. Police around the world are issuing warnings on Facebook over Apple's new NameDrop feature, and telling people to turn it off, suggesting your data will be shared with others when your iPhone is near someone else's, but would privacy-obsessed Apple really enable such a feature without serious safeguards or?

2. Microsoft makes its Copilot AI free to use on the web, and will soon bring GPT-4 Turbo to users as well, so are there any catches and what is GPT-4 Turbo?

3. It's National Scams Awareness Week in Australia, running from Monday 27 November to Friday December 1, so how much money have Australians already lost, what are the most common scams, and how can people protect themselves against being scammed?

4. With the Australian government reviewing its unfair trading laws, Australian consumer advocacy groups are calling for strong new fairness laws to close gaps in Australian Consumer Law, as 7 in 10 people mistakenly believe businesses are already required to treat consumers fairly. There's also a petition Australians can sign to make unfair trading practices illegal.

5. Apple extends its emergency satellite SOS service for iPhone 14 users for an extra year, meaning those who purchased an iPhone 14 in 2022 get three years of free service, while existing iPhone 15 owners will get two years of service - and it's something no Android smartphone maker can yet match - why don't any of the Android smartphones offer this yet, Alex?

6. Elon Musk is launching Tesla's long awaited Cybertruck on Thursday, 30 November 2023. First unveiled in 2019, Cybertruck is coming!
