Recently had problems with my Vizio smart TV. Customer service over the phone was able to remotely reboot my TV with only two pieces of information which was the serial number and the mac address. this is very alarming specifically because there is a lot of Internet of things being connected in our homes today. In which a lot of these devices are consistently collecting pieces of information of who you are. Drawn the connection between AI and also you as a person in your own home about the Internet devices that you are using. I want for individuals to be we form and to reconsider the ways that we’re doing in order to make life easy. Just because the Internet of things are free doesn’t mean that, you are safe and your information is private. Remember if it’s free then some along the lines your information is being provided as data points to be sold.

Hosted by David Lara, Minimalist Tech News cuts through the noise of the daily tech cycle. This isn't about chasing every gadget launch or spec sheet. Instead, the podcast focuses on how we can engage with technology more intentionally, stripping away the unnecessary complexity and anxiety that often comes with it. You'll hear discussions about practical ways to simplify your digital setup, protect your personal data, and make sense of the larger shifts in software and services without feeling overwhelmed. Each episode aims to unpack a single idea, whether it's the real cost of a subscription model, the implications of a new privacy policy, or a clearer way to understand a trending tech concept. The goal is to provide a grounded, thoughtful perspective that helps you decide what tools and services actually serve your life, rather than the other way around. Tune in for a calm, considered conversation that treats tech not as an endless stream of news, but as a landscape to navigate with clarity and purpose.
